A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 22
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

Ezekiel’s POVI met his glare head-on, unflinching. “What does it look like?” I said, my voice hard. “I’m dealing with incompetence.”Mark’s eyes narrowed, and he stepped further into the room, his presence filling the space. The guards immediately straightened, fear and respect evident in their eyes. But I wasn’t like them. I wasn’t about to bow down, not now.“Dealing with incompetence by stabbing your own men?” he said, his tone laced with disapproval. “You’re supposed to be leading them, Ezekiel, not turning on them like some rogue.”I rolled my shoulders back, my temper barely in check. “They’ve failed me. Over and over again. I told them to find her, and they came back with nothing. What am I supposed to do? Pat them on the back and say, ‘Good job?’”His expression hardened, his jaw tightening. “You’re supposed to remember your place. You’re not just some hotheaded pup throwing tantrums. You’re my son, heir to this pack. Start acting like it.”I laughed bitterly, the sound harsh and

Ezekiel’s POV“What is it?” I barked, rushing over to where the man stood, his hand pointing to the ground.“Footprints, Alpha,” he said, his voice quivering with both excitement and fear. “From the size of them, it looks like… it looks like they belong to a woman.”My heart skipped a beat. Could it be?“Spread out!” I commanded, my voice carrying authority. “I want the owner of these footprints found. Now! Comb the woods thoroughly. If we don’t find Kailey, no one—and I mean no one—is going back. Understood?”“Yes, Alpha!” they chorused, their voices resolute. Without hesitation, the men scattered in different directions, eyes scanning every leaf and branch for clues.I knelt by the footprints, my fingers tracing the edges. “Please, let it be Kailey,” I muttered under my breath. My heart raced as I signaled a few men to follow me. Together, we trailed the footprints, each step heavy with anticipation.The trail led us deeper into the woods, the prints crisp and distinct against the damp ea

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

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

Kailey’s pov. It still baffles me how Cecilia would come up with such a lie, one which the elders would find it difficult to ignore. I must give it to her, she was smart, however, her only problem was that she was messing with the wrong person. Me. I glanced at the burning fire which was right there in the middle of the gathering. The moon was up. However, it wasn't bright enough yet, so the fire was used as an alternative to brighten the night. “You should rest, Kylie,” a familiar voice rang out as footsteps approached from behind me. I sighed, glancing above my shoulders. “I'm not sleepy yet” James raised a brow as he walked past me, sitting at a corner, just around the burning fire. “don't tell me you are still thinking about the rumor Cecilia came up with”I remained quiet, Of Course I was thinking about it, though Ezekiel had paid deaf ears to it, some of the elders if not all had doubts in their mind, I was glad Ezekiel made a swift decision on loving her up. “You don't h

Ezekiel's pov. The meeting with the different alpha's didn't go as I had expected. However I knew there would be uproar and misunderstanding. I hadn't expected them to bring the issue of my house to the table. It might have felt like nothing at the time, but it had hit deep, however I would not allow it get to me so much. This was all Cecilia's fault, if she had been a good Luna, all this wouldn't have happened. I still remembered the look on Marcus' face when he mocked my house, asking why they should listen to me when I haven't put my household in order yet. My teeth grinder together as I paced in my chambers, hands running through my hair. There was a sudden knock on the door which made me frown slightly, wondering who that was. The door is open” The door pushed open and a maid stepped In with her hand to her back. “Breakfast is served, Alpha” I sighed, “I will be there shortly, you may leave”. The maid nodded and then after a slight bow l, she walked out of the r

CHAPTER one hundred and twenty four LUNA’s RETURN_ HER RETURN WILL LIFT THE CURSE Ezekiel’s POV The room was filled with voices clashing against each other, one Alpha trying to speak over the other. The council chamber was heavy with tension, frustration rolling off every man in waves. Some were standing, others still seated but barely holding back their irritation. Fists pounded on the table, deep growls echoed in the large space, and more than once, I caught the sharp glint of fangs as tempers flared. "This is unacceptable!" Alpha Gerard snapped, his fists pressing into the table. "The Full Moon Festival is in three days, and nothing has been arranged! Do you think our packs will stand for this level of disorganization? We are Alphas! We should be leading by example." "Agreed," Alpha Marcus interjected, arms crossed over his broad chest. "The festival is not just a celebration; it is tradition, a time of unity among packs. If we fail to organize it properly, it will be seen

Cecilia’s POV "So," he drawled, his voice low and taunting. "You want Ezekiel’s heir gone."I took a step forward, locking eyes with him. "Not just gone, Damon. Dead. Gone forever. No traces, no chances of rescue. I want Auren wiped from existence."He chuckled, shaking his head. "You don’t ask for much, do you?"I pulled a rolled parchment from inside my cloak and held it out. "This is the blueprint of the packhouse. Every room, every passage, every weak spot. Study it. You’ll need it."Damon raised a brow but took the parchment, unrolling it slowly. His eyes scanned over it, flicking from one section to another."This is detailed," he admitted. "Where’d you get it?"I smirked. "I was Luna, Damon. This was my home. I know every inch of that place. I know where the guards stand, where they slack off, and where they think they’re safe. They aren’t."He traced a finger over the main entrance. "The packhouse is heavily guarded. Getting in won’t be easy."I stepped closer, pointing at a

Cecilia’s POV As the chains fell from my wrists, I let out a slow, shaky breath. My fingers trembled as I rubbed the raw skin where the cold metal had bitten into my flesh for over a week. A whole week locked in that filthy cell. Me. The Luna.I clenched my jaw, my nails digging into my palms. "I will make Ezekiel pay for this."The Pack Elders had finally decided my fate in his absence. And of course, with the right words, the right persuasion, and the right influence, I bought my way out. They thought they were making the decision. Fools. I had them wrapped around my finger before they even realized it.I looked down at myself, disgust curling in my stomach. My arms had shrunk, my once flawless skin now bruised and dirty. My dress hung loosely, no longer fitting the way it used to. They had made me look weak. Powerless.That would change. Immediately.I turned to the guard who had hesitated before unlocking my chains. "Where is Evelyn?"He bowed his head slightly. "She’s waiting fo
