AWAKENING LUNA: DARKNESS HOLDING THE LIGHT BY MAJIE CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER SIX

ADELIA My lower lip trembled, and I could not help but raise my hands and shield my face, covering

my embarrassed expression. “Hmm?” I heard Lewis say before I felt him tucking some strands of my

hair behind my ear.” What is the matter?” He gently asked. I instantly felt more embarrassed.

I planned for a long time and yet… I put myself in a situation where I did not know what to do and say.

So I just stayed quiet… and hoped that everything would pass. Thankfully, the moon goddess seemed

to answer my prayer because suddenly, we heard a low and powerful grow… indicating the arrival of a

royalty. “He’s here,” I heard Lewis say before letting me go. I secretly took a sigh of relief. “You better

go to the Hall now,” Lewis told me. All of the wolves must pay respect to the royalty of the wolves, and

the howl earlier was a summon for everyone to immediately gather and greet him. I took my hands off

my still warm face and looked at Lewis before nodding. Lewis stared at my face without any expression

before he told me, “My mark will cover your scent and that punk will not recognize you. Go along.”

Lewis’ dark eyes were impassive but looking at them gave my heart calmness and reassurance. I

nodded before turning around and walking back to the Pack Hall. In fact, I wanted to ask him when I

would meet him again and what was our plan from now on but when I looked into his eyes, I decided

not to.

‘I decided to be with him… so I should trust him,’ I told myself as I made my way towards the Pack Hall. This belongs to .

There was an obvious change when I arrived there. Even though they sneered at me, the warriors who

were guarding the entrance did not dare to hinder my entrance anymore.

I blinked my eyes as I stared at the high ceilings and beautifully decorated Hall. Even when I already

saw the Pack Hall in my visions, it was the first time that I personally experienced being inside of it.

The pack where I belonged, the Pack of Emoresi, was also one of the largest and strongest packs after

the royal family. Aside from that, the pack has produced many powerful and talented wolves in history,

and so it obtained the respect of other packs. ‘It’s too bad… this pack had become more power

hungry… to the point where its alpha could kill his own mate and absorb her wolf just to be stronger,’ I

thought to myself. ‘Anyway… they all look so beautiful,’ I thought as I looked around the wolves

surrounding me.

Because the prince was arriving, everyone was donned in their best clothings, and they all looked

sparkling.

I looked down at the tattered clothes and suddenly felt embarrassed.

‘I wasn’t worried about my clothes earlier. But now that I am inside and surrounded by everyone who

looks dazzling… I felt ashamed all of the sudden,’ I held my hands together and stood at the hidden

corner of the room.

It was crowded. Except the alphas, all of the pack members of the five packs in the area were present

in the gathering. Laughter and excitement filled the room as everyone awaited for the arrival of the

prince.

A few minutes later, Alec, our alpha, and three other alphas entered the room. The room fell into

silence and everyone paid their attention to the four approaching powerful figures. I subconsciously

lowered my head and took a step backwards to hide myself in the shadow. ‘Lewis marked me. But…

will that be enough to hide my scent from Alec?’ I worriedly thought. The four alphas arrived and

everyone paid their respects towards them. I anxiously watched them from the side. Thankfully, all of

them, especially Alec, did not look in my direction. When I saw them walking straight towards the

center of the Hall where their designated chairs were placed without paying attention to other things, I

sighed in relief.

‘Seems like the mark works.’I gently touched my mark. ‘I wonder… when will I see Lewis again…’ I

thought. In my visions, even though he went here to greet the prince, Lewis did not attend the gathering

and the wolves did not even catch a glimpse of him. ‘Nevermind… I’m sure he has a plan. I should just

get going after this while I wait for him,’I thought with a sigh.

Suddenly, the air inside the room became stiffer. That was a sign that a very powerful wolf had entered

the room. The noisy room suddenly became quiet. Everyone, including the four alphas, looked into the

entrance of the hall.

To everyone’s surprise, the one who entered the hall was not the prince of the werewolf. Instead, it was

a beautiful man with dark hair and dark eyes.

‘Lewis?’ My eyes widened in surprise. Unlike earlier, his aura was not too restrained. Terrifying aura

surrounded him. He was unapproachable and one could not help but lower their head when looking at

him. Everyone was surprised and alarmed by his sudden arrival. “Alpha Lewis? What a surprise!” Alpha

Grayson, the alpha of the neighboring pack, hurriedly stood up and greeted Lewis.

His exclamation caught the attention of the crowd and right away, everyone had astonished looks on

their faces. It was probably the first time that they have seen the mysterious alpha of the strongest pack

in the world. Lewis had an aloof look on his face and merely raised a brow at Alpha Grayson. Still, the

latter did not seem to have been offended and the flattering smile on his face did not fade. “Welcome,

Alpha Lewis,” Alec stood up and likewise greeted Lewis. “We are glad to see you here in our pack,” he

added.

For a fraction of a second, when Lewis looked at Alec, it seemed as if the god of death surrounded the

Hall, making my body tremble with fear. ‘Was that my imagination?’ I thought before taking a sharp

breath and repeatedly blinking. I stared at Lewis who was sporting an impassive expression, making

me question more what I have seen. Lewis likewise did not say anything to Alec. However, he stopped

for a second before nodding at him in acknowledgment. And before everyone’s eyes, he started

walking. At first, I was calm and did not think anything out of his actions. However, a few seconds later,

I started to feel utterly flustered. Especially when I noticed that… Lewis was walking towards my

direction.
