LOGINLevante,"Levante? What's wrong?" Lunaria ran toward me with disheveled hair and a panicked expression. "Did something happen to her? Why are you all wet? What happened!?" She cupped my face and muttered, "Why are you so red? What is going on?"I took a deep breath and pointed to Serenity's room. "Help her!""What? Is she alright?" She pushed the door open and saw the bathroom lights on, with Serenity's arm hanging out of the marble bathtub."Holy shit. Why did you leave her in the bathtub? She will freeze to death!""I can't touch her!" I said calmly.She gave me a death glare. "Are you kidding me? I told you, do not worry about boundaries. You are the doctor now—""I can't be a doctor to her."She lifted Serenity's head in her arms like she used to do when I was a child, gently pressing her cold face against her chest. Serenity did not wake up, but she softly exhaled."She is sleeping..." Lunaria whispered. "No fever. Good sign! Why are you standing there? Help me!""I can't. I... I
Xavier, "Who is there?" I shouted, my usually steady heart suddenly pounding hard against my ribcage, the force of it echoing in my ears. "Serenity!" I whispered urgently, breaking into a run toward the silhouette. But when I reached the spot, the figure had vanished into thin air. My eyes narrowed in suspicion. I had seen it clearly. "What happened?" I muttered, confusion and growing alarm twisting in my gut. Just as bewilderment gripped me, a faint, pained sound drifted from inside Serenity's room. My body reacted before my mind could catch up. I slammed the door open with a forceful push. "Serenity?" Once again, my entire frame locked in place. Serenity lay crumpled on the floor, her skin flushed a burning red from the fever that ravaged her. Soft yet agonizing whimpers escaped her lips, filling the room with raw vulnerability. Her claws were extended, digging desperately into her own chest as she gasped for air, each breath a labored struggle. "Serenity!" I stormed in, rush
The moment the royal midwife laid hands on the newborn Prince Levante, the curse revealed itself—his tiny body already straining to shift. The Lycan Queen, who had long prided herself on bearing only "pure" children, saw her flawless record shattered. Raised by the Gamma General, she viewed any imperfection as a personal insult. From that day forward, she could barely stand to look at her youngest son. Lunaria, the second-born and only ten years old, became his sole protector. Despite having no knowledge of childcare, she refused to let any nanny near him. Levante cried constantly and fought his curse even as a newborn, so Lunaria personally hired a wet nurse who would deliver the milk but never got close to her brother and demanded, and received, full authority over his care from their father. Groomed to lead the she-lycans, she instead became Levante’s mother in every way that mattered. The Lycan King pleaded with his wife to involve herself, but she refused. For the fir
Levante, The fact that Earnest was William’s brother already sat like a stone in my gut. He had watched his younger brother die by my uncle’s hand, yet he still chose to raise me. Staring at his hunched back, all I wanted was to apologize for the blood on my family’s hands. But I held back. Some wounds needed time alone to bleed. I thought of checking on Serenity, but stopped myself. It was past midnight. I hoped the fever had not returned. The potion I had prepared for her should carry her through the night. I couldn't still understand how parents could be so cruel. Throughout her life, she couldn't understand why she was going through everything she didn't deserve, without knowing that the very person who gave birth to her, had put a curse on her. Serenity was the one with the worst curse in this world. Not me, not anyone. Restlessness clawed at my chest. I could not sit still, so I headed outside, intending to walk or release my Lycan spirit to roam. My feet froze mid-ste
Levante, "What did she just say?" Earnest's eyes flew wide, the pupils trembling violently. His breath caught so sharply it almost sounded painful. "Twenty-three years... Did you keep him locked in there for twenty-three years?" He stormed forward, boots slamming against the stone hard enough to send sharp echoes through the chamber. His fists trembled at his sides, knuckles whitening as his nails bit into his palms. Countess Brighton had already gone ashen, every trace of color draining from her face. Sweat slicked her skin, glistening beneath the dim light. She edged backward, her breaths turning ragged, until the guards slammed her to the floor. Her knees cracked against the stone with a sickening sound, and she winced violently. "Did you keep him there for twenty-three years?" Earnest growled, his voice rough and shaking with fury. She shook her head wildly, hair sticking to her damp cheeks, tears cutting hot tracks down her face. Her lips quivered uncontrollably. "I am sorry.
Levante,The room was quiet except for the heavy breathing of Countess Brighton. Her hands shook against the cold floor. Her face turned pale as she realized that she had fooled everyone for years, but it would all end tonight.My nails drummed against the armrest while I waited for her to speak. When she remained silent even after two full minutes, I raised my hand. Two guards moved at once. Their sharp boots struck the floor, making everyone flinch.Countess Brighton's head snapped up. She saw the two guards reaching for her arms."What? What are you doing? You cannot touch me. I am a she-lycan. It is illegal," she protested."You are a criminal under my jurisdiction, Countess Brighton," my voice cut through the tension, making her freeze. "And in my jurisdiction, a criminal has no gender."She froze, her eyes widening in terror. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead. She glanced desperately at Count Brighton and then at Earnest, searching for anyone who might help her change the course
Serenity, "Are you alright?" Sunya, one of the Luna's personal servants, held out a candy toward me. "Here, take it before your blood sugar drops again." I nodded quietly before taking it, my fingers brushing against hers for a brief second, warm and steady. I unwrapped it and shoved it into my m
Serenity, I placed the bouquet of Moon flowers in the vase, staring at their beautiful yet dangerously addictive appearance. They were brighter and more layered than the ordinary Moon flowers that bloomed around the Moon Oracle or the mountains, petals glowing with an almost ethereal silver light
Levante,"Levante," Louis called from behind as I was about to step into the car.I turned, watching him rush toward me with heavy, purposeful strides. The evening light cast long shadows across the packhouse grounds. "What's wrong?""You didn't join breakfast or dinner. Where have you been?" he as
Serenity Redwolf, Twenty years ago, In a noble family, two daughters were born. One was the perfect definition of beauty; every strand of hair seemed blessed with a golden touch, her eyes were blue like the ocean, and her cries sounded like the melody of a new spring.
