---- I never spared him another glance. In my eyes, he was no different from a speck of dust. Damon's crimes were announced to the entire clan. Every werewolf knew he had murdered the noble Child of the Moon. Every day, countless werewolves came specifically to torment him. He was chained in the street, able to do nothing but close his eyes and silently endure. Soon, clever werewolves began unraveling the entire story piece by piece. Serena could no longer hide in the shadows. Even though she desperately tried to conceal herself in the dark forest, someone eventually dragged her out. By now, she was no longer recognizable as human. For murdering a Child of the Moon, even if I didn't actively seek revenge, the Moon Goddess would not spare her. ---- Whenever moonlight touched the earth, wherever the light contacted Serena's skin, it burned like fire. Nothing could provide relief. Without the bloodline of a Child of the Moon, this torment would never end. Serena and Damon were chained in the street like dogs. Their only water source was rainwater and spit. The only food they received were scraps left by actual dogs. Every day the two of them cursed each other in the street-where was their former passion and tenderness? Damon prayed daily for someone to mercifully end his life quickly. This torture was more agonizing than death itself. But everyone knew the crimes Damon had ---- committed. Who would grant him such mercy? Day after day of this torment, the once-mighty Alpha bowed his noble head, reduced to nothing more than a lowly cur. Serena was willing to sell her body for even a single bite of food. But except for the lowest-ranking werewolves who couldn't find mates, no one was willing to pay for her services. Every day Serena wore her chains, desperately writhing her bloated body to attract customers. As for those two children of hers, they had fled the moment Serena was captured. Ten years had passed in the blink of an eye. With werewolves' long lifespans, the torment awaiting them had only just begun. Meanwhile, I had joined the elder council and now stood at the pinnacle of power.
