I Am His Luna

Chapter 43

The sharp question blew into my ear with the breeze,

For a moment, it felt like I had been struck by thunder

I was thoroughly stunned

What did he say?

Father? Whose? Mine?!

“My daughter, Andrea Look at you! You’ve all grown up You look exactly like your mother, Stella So beautiful”

Bernhard stood on the execution platform and questioned me, “Is it so shameful to be a Rogue’s daughter? Are you really going to kill your father?”

With that said, his face turned cold and he continued, “I’m your father! You have to save me Otherwise, the Moon Goddess will never forgive you.”

The entire crowd burst into buzzing conversations once he finished saying that

“Oh my gosh! What is that Rogue talking about?!”

“I thought our Luna was the daughter of the Blue River Pack’s Alpha?”

“Yeah! So she is a fake princess then?”

“No way! How can the Blue River Pack send a fake princess for the marriage alliance?”

“That person said she’s a Rogue’s daughter.”

“How can a Rogue’s daughter become our Luna?”

I felt cold sweat drip down my forehead, and my chest heaved violently

*Andrea ” Enzo said as he grabbed my hand, looking at me with a frown “Ignore them I don’t care who is your father. You’re the only Luna I’ll ever accept

I shook my head helplessly

I didn’t care about the whispering and gossip around me. I only cared about the man on the execution platform who claimed to be my father

My mother died as soon as I was born For nineteen years, I suffered in humiliation at the hands of others My father could have taken me away from that miserable life and saved me, but he didn’t Yet he appeared now when my life had just gotten better, using his

identity to threaten me to save him.

I hated him, but… He was still my father at the end of the day. He gave me half of my life, and I couldn’t remain indifferent.

Was I really going to watch my father, who I just met, die in front of me?

I don’t know.

Perhaps it was because what Bernhard just said, the executioner paused and turned to Enzo, “What should we do, Alpha?”

Enzo furrowed his brows deeper.

I knew he was having a difficult time. The law was unforgiving. Even though Bernhard was my father, he was also part of the Rogues who had attacked Enzo’s Pack.

To my surprise, Enzo shouted at Bernhard, “You claim to be Luna’s father, but what proof do you have?”

I snapped back to my senses.

That was true. I couldn’t believe Bernhard’s claim simply based on his words. Maybe it was merely a tactic to preserve his life.

But… I thought the possibility of that was slim.

Because if he truly lied, how did he find out about my mother and me in the first place?

Bernhard puffed out his chest and sneered, “How could I not recognize my own daughter? If I remember correctly, you have a birthmark that looks like a claw on your waist.”

Enzo and I sucked in sharp breaths at the same time.

Bernhard was right.

“My daughter… Now that you’re Luna, it’s just a matter of your word to save me. Are you really going to watch me die so cold-hearted?”

“Do you know why I became a Rogue? It was because of you!”

“…Because of me?”

“That’s right!” Bernhard exclaimed. “Your mom and I were so happy together before you. But she got pregnant with you, and Alpha Michael found out. He expelled me because I was a commoner!

“I tried to look for you back then, but Alpha Michael busted my legs broken and threw me

out of the Pack! All the sufferings I had gone through are all because of you!

“Now, you’re going to let these people kill me?!”

I don’t know… I really don’t know!

It felt like someone had grabbed my heart and squeezed it tightly, and a wave of overwhelming bitterness swept over me, threatening to drown me.

I could only remain standing with sheer willpower and tried not to collapse embarrassingly in public.

While I was still unsure what to do, Enzo made the decision for me.

“Since he’s your father, I can spare him for your sake. However, I’ll still imprison him for life.”

I let out a sigh of relief and gave Enzo a grateful look.

I’m sure he must be under a lot of pressure to have made this decision, not only from the soldiers he commanded but also from the tens of thousands of Pack members who followed him.

However, people were selfish. When we are faced with life and death choices for our family, few would be able to consider things from an outsider’s perspective.

I was ashamed of my selfishness, but I couldn’t help it.

This would at least buy me some time to think and allow me to speak to Bernhard.

“Stop the execution for now,” Enzo announced.

The soldier brought Bernhard down from the execution platform, and my heart started to beat wildly as the man approached us.

I didn’t know why, but I had a bad feeling about this.

There was a fierce glint in Bernhard’s eyes, one that looked too vicious. He didn’t look like a man who had narrowly escaped death, but instead…

Bernhard suddenly rose up, catching the soldier off guard, and broke free himself.

Immediately after, Bernhard shifted, changing his right hand into a wolf claw and aiming it towards Enzo’s chest. From NôvelDrama.Org.

“No!” I screamed.

Blargh!

Fresh blood gushed out, as the heavy metallic scent filled my nose and mouth.

Enzo roared in my ear, but I could barely hear him.

I felt like someone had plugged my ears with water-soaked cotton as my vision grew fuzzy.

My loud, watery gasps were the only sound I could hear clearly.

The whole world spun in front of my eyes. I looked at Bernhard, who stood in front of me with horrified look. His lips were moving, and he muttered, ‘Why?”

I felt like I was floating for a moment before falling heavily to the ground, unable to answer him. In the end, I lost all consciousness and passed out.
