LOGINLevante,I stayed until night fell and Serenity finally fell asleep after sulking about me not leaving her side. She was weak and pale, yet the resilience in her eyes was unbreakable.Guilt gnawed at me for snapping at her. Serenity had grown up in a world shaped by the abuse of power and unfair treatment. To them, even looking at a noble was a crime. They barely dared lift their eyes, face a noble, or defend themselves. Layer after layer of trauma, labeled the child of sin, abandoned by everyone, and now betrayed by my own sister.I could not fathom how much she suffered inside. I wished I could take away some of her pain. I used to curse my fate, wondering why I was so unlucky. Now I knew I had been whining about a life that gave me everything."Your Highness. The guests are still waiting for you!" Butler Earnest glanced at Serenity’s pale face, looking concerned.I nodded and placed some desserts and snacks on the table. "Let’s go!" I said, walking out of the room.Right after Ser
Lumina had to be taken to the ER right after Levante left her with a broken neck and wounded jaws. Even her people, who were supposed to protect her, couldn't move from where they were standing.Levante had become the rule maker of the Lycan Kingdom because of his unbiased rulings. To him, if the King himself committed a crime, Levante would still carry out the punishment.Seeing how badly he had injured his own sister, the Brighton family stood frozen. They had been hoping to meet their future son-in-law, but instead they witnessed his ruthless protectiveness toward the woman who might become the daughter they had abandoned. It left them stunned.Countess Brighton, who never thought her past would crawl out of the grave and appear before her, looked like she had seen a ghost. She could barely speak.Belinda, however, noticed her mother's panic and her father's rage toward her mother.After the guards took Lumina away, they returned to her private room. Countess Brighton kept shaking
Serenity,"What's wrong with you?"For the first time since we met, Levante's voice rose with frustration and disappointment. He placed me on the bed and let the female healer tend to my wounds, standing by my side the whole time. But eventually he could not hold back."I have told you countless times. Lumina isn't a good person. She doesn't care if anyone dies as long as she gets what she wants. Why did you leave the room right after I left? Do you have any idea how scared I was?"I lowered my head, my mind still spinning. "Serenity!" His voice dropped, sending a tremble through me. "Don't disappoint me.""I am sorry.""For what?""Not listening to you."Levante rubbed his forehead. "Serenity, I don't want you following people around just because they might help with something. I know you are trying to find a solution for my curse, but this is not the way. Can you, at least once, fight for yourself instead of thinking only about me?"I looked up at him, the words slipping out before
Serenity,The entire room became quiet. Lumina's expression shifted immediately, but it remained unreadable. She might not have expected me to retaliate.I looked at the woman who might possibly be my mother. Or perhaps her husband was the one. Whoever it was, I did not care.I was my father's daughter. I was Redwolf's daughter.My body moved before my mind could catch up. I met her eyes, my expression colder than ice."I raised myself. I treated my own wounds. I grew up alone. Who gave you the right to insult me?"Countess Brighton looked shocked as I walked closer. She was taller than me and more beautiful than me, but she had a nasty mouth.She tried to step back. Something flickered behind her eyes."Who told you that I am your daughter? Even if I was, I would spit on your grave and stomp on it until the world ends. If you dare to insult me or my body once again, I swear on whatever power created me, not your Moon Goddess, that I will rip that mouth apart."Everyone froze. My eyes
Serenity, "Was it a joke?" I called out, my voice dropping cold. "I don't appreciate this kind of joke, Princess Lumina!" Lumina's eyes widened for a brief second as she registered the lack of emotion in my tone. She had seen me as gullible and quiet, but she had gone too far by claiming I was someone's half-sister, especially a female lycan. "That's true, Your Highness. Why did you say something like this?" Countess Brighton asked. A faint tremor ran through her voice. "Our Belinda is the only child." A mischievous yet mysterious grin played on Lumina's lips, as if she were savoring the moment. "Unfortunately, I don't like liars. Countess Brighton and Count Brighton, I have chosen your daughter as the candidate for my brother's Luna. Since she will be prepared for my brother, I don't want any scandal attached to her." The couple swallowed hard. Lumina's words carried a manipulative edge. They were clearly lycans. What was she thinking by stirring up trouble for me? I would alr
It's said that when people face constant disappointment and loss of hope and trust in life, they stop trying to find a way out of that painful loop.Serenity's life had been happiest until she was fifteen. Despite being sick and overweight, she was the brightest soul who tried to treat every day as a blessing. However, once the reason for her happiness vanished, time taught her a harsh truth: she was utterly alone with a body that could barely survive, in a society that saw her as nothing but a parasite. Good things only happened to others. Never to her. The realization had left a deep emptiness inside her, a quiet ache that never fully faded.When surviving became the first instinct, the rest of the world no longer mattered.Princess Lumina was fully aware of her sufferings. She had witnessed the bruises covering Serenity's arms during blood draws and understood exactly what kind of exhausting life the girl endured, day after day.She knew that people like Serenity became obsessivel
Serenity,Those nurses left after chatting with each other. They didn't even notice that I was awake and trying to get their attention. Their laughter slowly faded down the hallway while I lay there silently, staring at the ceiling with a suffocating heaviness pressing against my chest.After two m
Lycan King,“Serenity Redwolf?” The pack’s healer, Healer Ashford, didn’t need a moment to recognize her as soon as he walked into the emergency room.“You know her?” I asked, my voice sharp.The pack healer nodded quietly. “She is one of my rarest cases, with no cure.”My eyes narrowed. “What do y
It's said that when a person becomes too comfortable with something, they become addicted to it. Nolan grew up in a family with no earnings. Being the middle child of three siblings, Nolan often starved as they'd occasionally forget about him. The empty ache in his stomach and the constant feeling
Serenity,On the way home, I thought once I returned home, took my medicine, and let myself take another hour of sleep, I would go to the countryside. The thought alone felt comforting after such a long and humiliating day.However, I couldn't even step inside the apartment properly. The entire apa
