A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 20
Kailey’s POVSince Elyra told me about the pregnancy, I’ve been in shock. Days passed, and I couldn’t bring myself to talk or even eat. My stomach growled from hunger, but I ignored it. The knot of emotions inside me was too tight, too heavy to untangle.Elyra had been patient, but I could see the worry in her eyes each time she glanced at me. She left me alone most of the time, respecting my silence. Still, I could hear her moving around the hut, the clinking of pots, the soft hum of her voice as she prepared food or worked on her weapons.But I stayed in my small corner, curled up on the rough bed. The weight of my thoughts crushed me. How will I survive this? I thought, over and over. Elyra has done so much for me already. How can I bring a child into this mess?Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared at the ceiling. The more I thought about it, the more hopeless it felt. My mind wouldn’t stop replaying the past: the betrayal, the banishment, Ezekiel turning his back on me.Suddenly, I

Kailey’s POV“Oh, I don’t know,” she said, pretending to think. “Maybe I’ll slip some sleeping herbs into your tea to make sure you stay in bed.”I stared at her in mock horror. “You wouldn’t dare!”She laughed, her eyes sparkling. “Oh, I would. Don’t tempt me, Kailey. I have a whole cabinet full of herbs, and I know exactly which ones to use.”I crossed my arms, pretending to look tough. “Well, the joke’s on you. Sleeping herbs don’t work on me. I’ve got an iron stomach.”Elyra tilted her head, a playful smirk on her lips. “Oh really? Is that why you got dizzy last month after eating my mushroom stew?”I groaned, covering my face with my hands. “That doesn’t count! Those mushrooms were weird, and you know it.”She laughed harder, doubling over. “Weird mushrooms or not, you still couldn’t walk straight for hours. Don’t challenge me, Kailey. I’ll win every time.”I couldn’t help but laugh too. “Fine, fine, you win. But you’re not putting anything in my tea. I’ll know.”“Oh, will you?” she said

Kailey’s POV“Your belly is already protruding,” Elyra said as she walked into the hut, her arms loaded with fresh game from her hunt. She set the catch down on the wooden counter, brushing off stray leaves from her cloak.I looked up at her from where I sat by the small fireplace, cradling my stomach. “Yeah,” I said with a little smile, rubbing the slight bump that had grown in the past three months. “It’s like it gets bigger every day.”“You sure it’s a kid in there and not just food?” Elyra teased, a sly grin on her face. “I mean, with how much you’ve been eating lately, it could be both.”I gasped dramatically. “Excuse me! You’re the one feeding me like I’m an entire pack of wolves!” I shot back, laughing. “I’m just eating what you give me.”Elyra chuckled as she began cleaning one of the rabbits. “Well, you need the food. You’re not just you anymore, remember? There’s someone very special growing in there.”I couldn’t help but grin, even as I playfully stuck my tongue out at her. “Spe

Kailey’s POVAlright, Kailey, spit it out,” Elyra said, her hands on her hips as she turned to face me fully. “What’s going on? Dreams like what?”I took a deep breath and set down the knife I was using to slice the carrots. My heart was pounding like a drum, but I had to get it out.“They’re weird,” I said finally, looking at the dirt beneath my feet instead of at her. “Like… they don’t make any sense. But they’re so real, Elyra. It’s like I’m there, living them.”Elyra frowned, crouching down in front of me so we were eye-level. “Okay, start from the beginning. What do you see in these dreams?”I hesitated, chewing on my bottom lip. “I see… a woman. She’s standing in the middle of a forest. The trees are huge, taller than anything I’ve ever seen, and there’s this… glow around her.”Elyra raised an eyebrow. “A glow? Like light?”I nodded. “Yeah, but it’s not just light. It feels warm, like it’s wrapping around me even though I’m just watching her. And she’s saying something, but I can neve

Kailey’s POV“I mean,” she said, giving me a pointed look, “where are you going to go? What are you going to do? You can’t just stay in this hut forever, Kailey.”I frowned, her words hitting a nerve. “I don’t know,” I admitted. “I haven’t really thought that far ahead.”Elyra sighed, her expression softening. “You need to, Kailey. The world out there isn’t exactly kind to people like us. You need a plan.”Elyra leaned against the doorframe, her arms crossed. She gave me that look—the one that always made me feel like she was about to say something I wouldn’t like.“What if,” she said, her voice cautious, “you go back after your child is grown a little?”I stopped stirring the pot, my hand frozen in mid-motion. Turning slowly, I frowned at her. “You know I was banished, right?” I said, my voice low but filled with disbelief.“Yeah, I know,” she replied, shrugging. “But your child… he might want to know his father someday. Don’t you think?”I slammed the wooden spoon onto the counter, my ches

Kailey’s POVI opened my eyes slowly and blinked a few times. Everything looked different. The light was softer, almost glowing, and the air felt thick but gentle against my skin. I sat up, confused.“Where am I?” I whispered to myself, looking around.The place didn’t look real. It was a forest, but the trees were massive, their trunks glowing faintly with an ethereal light. The leaves shimmered, like they were dusted with stars. The ground beneath me felt warm, almost alive. My heart raced. This wasn’t normal.“Kailey,” a voice called, soft and melodic, but commanding.I turned quickly, my eyes searching for the source. A woman stood a few feet away. She was tall, with flowing silver hair that sparkled like the night sky. Her skin glowed faintly, and her eyes… they were the color of the moon, bright and full of mystery. On her forehead was a glowing crescent moon. It was the same mark from my dreams.“Who are you?” I asked, my voice trembling.She smiled gently. “You know who I am.”I shoo

Kailey’s POVNothing really,” Elyra said, flashing me a playful smile.I narrowed my eyes at her, grinning slightly. “Are you sure?”She tilted her head, still smiling. “None that I can remember. But if I do remember anything, I’ll let you know; I promise.”“You better,” I teased, nudging her shoulder lightly.Her face grew more serious, and she leaned closer. “Actually, there’s something I noticed in the woods today.”Immediately, my heart raced. “What is it?”“I saw a couple of men wandering in the woods,” she said, her voice dropping to a whisper. “They were far from the hut, but it looked like they were searching for something. Or someone.”“Men?” I asked, my voice barely audible. “Who do you think they were?”She shook her head. “I don’t know, but it definitely didn’t seem like they were just passing through.”A cold wave of fear washed over me, and my mind spiraled into panic. “Do you think it could be Ezekiel? Or his father? What if they’ve found me?” My words tumbled out in a rush, my

Ezekiel’s POVI sat on the cushion in my chambers, staring at the wall as if the answers to all my problems were hidden there. My fingers twitched, restless and agitated. It had been three long weeks since I sent my men out, and they hadn’t returned. What the hell was going on? How hard could it possibly be to find one woman? Just one?“Such pathetic guards,” I muttered under my breath, the words spilling out like venom as I kicked the chair in front of me. It toppled over with a loud clatter, but it wasn’t enough to ease the storm brewing inside me. My wolf growled, low and furious, a sound that echoed the turmoil in my chest.“Calm down,” I muttered to myself, though the words sounded hollow. How could I calm down when it had been months? Months since I last saw her. Kailey. Her name alone felt like a blade twisting in my heart. I ran my hands through my hair, tugging at the strands as the memories came flooding back, sharper and more painful than ever.The door creaked open, and Mason

JAMES’ POV. “No!” I growled, shoving another attacker aside before twisting to grab the rogue holding Lydia. I yanked him backward, slamming him into a tree. He crumpled to the ground, groaning.I moved backwards, with my back to Auren and Lydia, my eyes locked on the five rogues in front of me. The cold night stung at my skin as I stood there, at this point I knew I needed to remain calm, my breathing was shallow and steady now. The dense forest surrounding us was thick with its large canopy of leaves blocking out most of the moonlight. Ofcourse it was already night time.The moonlight, shown brightly on the faces of the men. “Lydia,” I whispered, turning my head slightly. She stood behind me, her arm tightly holding onto that of Auren. “Stay low. No matter what happens, don’t run until I say so.”She nodded, her expression tight with fear. “Be careful,” she murmured.I turned my attention back to the approaching figures. The five men who have already begun to attack again. It w
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 134
JAMES’ POV Auren and Lydia were yet to be back, what was holding them?. It was just fishing and nothing else, they should have been back by now. I ran my hands through my hair, grinding my teeth together,I shouldn't have allowed them to go alone, I should have gone with them, that was the only way I could guarantee their safety. I raised my head up to look at the sky, the sun was already low in the sky, painting the sky with a warm orange and red hue which traveled far across the horizon. Right now, I was standing outside the pack house, arms crossed over my chest, watching as the treetops sway in the evening breeze.My mind traveled to earlier that morning, when Lydia and Auren were making plans to go fishing, I could remember how Auren laughed excitedly about catching the biggest fish in the river.This was his first time fishing and now the sun was setting and they still weren't back. What is actually happening? Lauren's first time shouldn't be like this. Auren was just a chi

JAMES POV“James—w-what the hell?” Roy stammered, struggling against my grip. His fingers clawed at my wrist, but I didn’t let go.I pulled him into a secluded corner, away from the prying eyes of the other patrons, and when I was clear, I slammed him against the wall. The impact rattled the bottles on a nearby shelf, making a few clink together.Roy gasped, his hands pressing against my forearm as he tried to push me away. “James, what—”I cut him off, my voice stern. “Start talking.”His breathing was uneven at this point, his pulse hammering so hard I could see it through the skin of his neck. “W-what are you talking about?” he stammered, his voice laced with fear. .I narrowed my eyes. “Don’t play dumb with me, Roy. I saw you in the conference room today. With her.”His lips parted slightly, but no words came out. He knew exactly who I was talking about.“C-Cecilia?” he finally muttered.I slammed him against the wall again, harder this time. “Damn right, Cecilia.” My voice was lo
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 132
JAMES POV. I was already expecting this, an explosive response from Cecilia. This was what I wanted to trigger her, to provoke her and make her see that I didn't just keep quiet after seeing her out of her cell. “Are you out of your mind James?” her voice was thick with anger. I smiled inwardly, unshaken by her sudden outburst. “I'm not, my lady, all I'm saying is that—”“to hell with what you are saying, James” she cut me off. “how dare you tell me to return to the cell” I sighed, making sure to stand my ground, and not waver by her mere outburst. “Your arrest was Ezekiel's order, and I serve Ezekiel, he is the alpha of this pack, my alpha and also yours, you being out of your cell simply means going against the alpha's order, and you know what that means” Cecilia frowned, her brows furrowed with anger “and what does that mean, James?” I muttered with a serious face. “That means you have committed a crime. Which means you would have to be punished, regardless of guru title or p
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 131
Cecilia's pov. The pack house has been so quiet of late, of course it was expected.Ezekiel was not around and that witch, kailey too. Speaking of kailey, Auren. I chuckled, as I strolled through the quiet courtyard of the pack house. His days were numbered, and soon he would be no more, that was the only way I could take full responsibility as the luna of this pack. Without that I won't be respected as Auren would always be seen as Ezekiel's heir. The only sound in the courtyard was that of the heel of my footwear. Right now I was on my way to the conference room. I needed to see someone. The attack would be happening in a few days and I needed to get everything ready, all preparations should be in place before then. I stepped into the conference room pulling my attire which swept the floor behind me. As usual I got a lot of bows from the guards and maids as they paid their greetings. I nodded at the guard standing at the entrance of the conference room and he understood. He
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 130
James’ POV. The Aftermath of the battle with the rogue still evident on me and the rest of my men, though the battle was just a walk in the pack, it was unexpected and there was no way we would come out of it without casualties. One of my men had a large wound on his thighs, one which seemed like it wasn't healing, or rather was healing too slowly. As we rode into the open area of the pack house, I froze on the spot as I sighted her. What is she doing out here?How did she get out?, who let her out?. I frowned as my eyes locked on Cecilia. She had a wicked smirk on her face, one that always made her look like she was about to do something evil. I dropped down from my horse, glancing towards one of the men. “Take him to the healers, there must be something for his wounds”The man nodded as two of the men began to carry the injured man down from the horse. “one more thing” I muttered, drawing the attention of the men. “make sure to keep the battle with the rogues a secret, no one
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 129
Cecilia's pov. The weather was calm and cold and as I walked through the bushes, the cool breeze of the evening hit me from different angles. I had sent a message to Damon, telling him to meet me up at our usual location, as we had a lot to discuss. The cool evening breeze blew through the trees, making the leaves move from side to side. The sunlight was already fading at this point and I pulled my cloak tighter around my shoulders. I walked deeper into the forest, my boots pressing softly onto the damp earth, crushing the leaves beneathThe scent of dried leaves , mixed with fresh rain filled my nose. I glanced at my side scanning the forest.This was because I could hear the distant sound of rustling animals, howling and making all kinds of sounds. I was hoping Damon would carry out the taste effectively, now that Ezekiel and Kailey were out of the pack house.This was the perfect time to attack the palace. However,before that, there was something else I had asked Damon to carry
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 128
Kailey’s POV.After dinner, I stepped into our tent, one which was well prepared for just Ezekiel and I. I sat at the small bed which we could lay on for the night.My mind was still occupied with the happenings In the pack house, however, not so much, and this was because James had set out this morning, already on his way to the pack house.With James at the pack house, I was confident that Auren would be safe and in good hands. The sounds of footsteps approaching the tent brought me out of my thoughts. I could already see the silhouette of the person aporaivhjg through the tent. It was a familiar shadow and I knew who it was already. Ezekiel stepped in, his towering figure making the tent look small. “kailey, I have been looking everywhere for you”I frowned slightly, folding my arms to my chest “But we just had dinner together not quite long ago.”He chuckled, taking a step closer to me “Ofcourse, we did,”I raise a grow, arms still folded to my chest. He sighed, understanding
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 127
JAMES’ POV. I totally understood Kailey's worries, Auren was a strong little boy, he had determination, a fire which burns in his eyes. I chuckled, glancing at the large trees around me, how can I forget about his stubbornness?. I have sworn to protect him till my last breath, Auren was the heir and future of our pack and it was my duty to make sure he was safe at all times. Just like kailey’s said earlier, though Cecilia was locked up, she was as slick as a shame, she would never back down without a fight.I knew she would have people on the pack, those who were loyal to her, they would be the ones pulling the string for her even now that she is behind bars. I heaved a sigh, when will all this end?. The pack has been divided for a long While now and it didn't look like there would be an amalgamation soon.I grabbed the reins of my horse and swung it with force, urging the horse to ride faster. The forest was quiet, too quiet, at first I didn't mind but then the quietness was jus
