Semua Bab Marked by Moon Fire: Bab 1 - Bab 10

“Where is servant number 16?” Madame Julie’s voice rang through the room. Her eyes were sharp as she searched for servant number 16.“Ma’am,” Nyssa replied almost immediately from behind her. She was dressed in her usual faded green servant wares. Her blonde hair tied in a knot and her chest heaving up and down, she had been running.“You’re late!” The woman yelled. The noise around didn’t help either and Nyssa bowed to the elderly woman.“I’m sorry, ma. I started bleeding today.” she explained quickly, hoping the woman would understand but Madame Julie only scoffed,“What does that get to do with anything?” her voice sharp.Nyssa didn’t know how to respond so she didn’t.“Get your ass down there and serve the Alpha’s guests. I don’t care if you are bleeding, every woman bleeds.”Nyssa bowed and rushed into the room to get the wines and some glasses. As she arranged them on the silver tray, she could hear the malicious voices of her colleagues as they ridiculed her like they always do

Nyssa ran.She ran past the servant’s quarters, some servants saw her but were too stunned to stop her. She didn’t stop either.Late that night, people watched a half-naked slave run towards the forest like she was being chased by death itself. Nyssa didn’t look back, she dared not stop either. She was running far—far from Alpha Mark. From Prince Lucien, Alpha Zane, or any other Alpha, far from a pack she once called home.“Do not let her get into the forest!” She heard the command of Gamma Hume and her eyes widened.He was the strongest warrior in all of the West Region. Fear gripped Nyssa like a leech when she heard his voice. She cannot escape, there is no way she can escape this man. It has never happened before.“You can do it, Nyssa. You are not servant number 16. You are Nyssa Wales” she chanted to herself as she ran.The full moon lit her path immediately she stumbled into the woods barefooted. She thought they would stop if they saw that she had made it to the woods but that

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Alice asked as she pulled out a gorgeous red gown from a box. Her twinkling eyes were fixed on the gown, but her words were clearly for Nyssa.“I am.” Came Nyssa’s short reply. As for Old Papa Ganda, he wasn't sure what to do as he stared at Nyssa. He said, “Revenge has never been a good reason to live life, Nyssa. You have to calm down and think about this.” Nyssa turned from what she was doing to meet the eyes of Old Papa Ganda, “Papa, you were the one who informed me that the moon goddess has instructed me to head back to the Moonrage pack.” She reminded him. “That doesn't mean it is for revenge, Nyssa. What if it was for a different reason?” He asked, but she snorted. “I saw it. I have been seeing it for years since I walked out of that fire. The moon goddess is sending me back to the Moonrage pack to destroy every single one of them. They wronged her, and she is upset!” “That was your pack, Nyssa.” Alice intruded, standing with Old Papa

“The party is over. Everyone go home,” Lucien commanded, his voice slicing through the silence.“You can’t end a party that just began, Lucien. What is this?” Lillian retorted. Her eyes darting between the startled faces in the hall and her brother in a night robe, she could see the unease settling in the crowd. They waited for her to stop her brother from ending the party.Fabian moved to Lucien’s side, torn. Inasmuch as he wanted the party to continue, he knew the Alpha’s presence made it impossible, and he could do nothing about it. Not tonight.As for Lucy, she stood quietly, her eyes on Lucien. She’d known there was something about the girl who had stepped out from nowhere, but if Lucien had not called Nyssa “Servant number 16”, she wouldn’t have recognized her. The same girl who was mated to her brother two years ago, the same girl, asked to be killed for being chosen by the goddess for her brother. Same girl she had pitied, the one her father had condemned… she was alive.Back

Lucien’s jaw clenched as he stood at the head of the long table, eyes locked with the elder council seated before him. The chamber was quiet, but one could tell the tension in the air. No one liked the news that Fabian had just read out. All eight elders could barely speak.“And why didn’t we know about this new constitution?” One of the elders asked irritably. His hands folded across his chest as he looked at Fabian for an explanation.Elder Julius scoffed, “How are we supposed to know? Ask your beloved Alpha if he has attended any Alpha meetings since he was crowned Alpha.”His eyes darted to Lucien, whose thoughts were elsewhere. He hadn’t slept well. Her face haunted him. Those golden eyes were filled with fire and revenge. The way she spoke with authority. The audacity.She was definitely not the Servant number 16 he had rejected.“Your absence has brought so much harm that the entire kingdom is about to be slaves to another pack after all your father did to protect it. Who know
