A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 31
Kailey’s POVThe last few days had been a whirlwind. Painful, yes, but also so refreshing. Every ache, every sleepless moment was worth it for this tiny life cradled in my arms. My son, Auren, with eyes so much like his father’s, had become my whole world. I still couldn’t believe I had delivered him safely. If it weren’t for Elyra, I didn’t even want to imagine what could have happened to us.I was lost in thought, stroking Auren’s soft cheek as he suckled, when Elyra burst into the room with her usual energy.“Latest mother in town!” she declared, grinning from ear to ear. “Look at you, Kailey! And look at him! Your baby is loving your company so much.” She leaned over, tickling Auren’s tiny foot. “But don’t you think you’re overfeeding him? At this rate, he’ll be so fat, and I, as his godmother, will have to carry all that extra weight!”I laughed, shaking my head. “Elyra, he’s a newborn! He needs all the milk he can get. Besides, if he gets too heavy, you’re still going to carry him.

Kailey’s POVI woke up feeling feverish, my body shaking uncontrollably. My head throbbed, and my muscles ached as if I had run a marathon in my sleep. I tried to sit up, but every movement made me feel worse. Elyra walked in just then, balancing a glass of water and what looked like a plate of fruits. She froze the moment she saw me. “Kailey!” Her voice was sharp, laced with concern. She rushed to my side, placing the tray down on the bedside table. “What’s wrong? You look terrible!” “Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence,” I muttered, trying to smile, though it probably looked more like a grimace. “I’m serious,” she said, pressing a hand against my forehead. Her eyes widened. “Kailey, you’re burning up! Why didn’t you call me earlier?” “I didn’t want to bother you,” I whispered, wincing as I leaned back against the pillows. “I thought it would pass.” “Bother me? I’m your best friend and your baby’s godmother!” Elyra practically growled. “You *better* bother me next time. Now,

Kailey’s POV“Auren, go and give this bowl of food to your mother,” I heard Elyra call out from outside the hut. A few seconds later, my little boy came rushing in, balancing the bowl with his tiny hands. His steps were wobbly but determined, and his bright eyes lit up when he saw me.“Mum, Godmother Elyra said I should give this to you,” he announced proudly, holding the bowl up high.I smiled, taking it from him. “Thank you, sweetheart. You’re such a big helper.”He grinned, puffing out his small chest. “I’m a big boy now!”“You are,” I agreed, brushing a stray curl from his forehead. “Why don’t you go back and tell Godmother Elyra I’ll eat it soon?”He nodded eagerly, then spun around and toddled back outside, calling out as he went, “Godmother Elyra! Mum said she’ll eat it soon!”Elyra’s laugh drifted in through the door. “Good job, Auren! You’re my favorite little helper!”Over a year had passed since Auren was born, and he’d grown so much. Gone was the fragile newborn I cradled in my a

Kailey’s POVI was outside the hut one hot afternoon, chopping vegetables on a wooden board. The sun was high, and the air shimmered with heat, but it didn’t bother me. I liked the quiet moments like these when life felt simple—just me, my work, and the sound of the forest in the background.Auren came running up to me, his small face flushed with excitement. “Mum, can I go hunting today? Please?” He asked, his little hands clasped together as if he was praying.I sighed, wiping my hands on my apron. “Auren, how many times have I told you? Hunting is dangerous. You’re not old enough yet.”“But Mum, I’m big now! Godmother Elyra even said I’m a brave warrior,” he argued, puffing out his chest like he always did when he wanted to prove a point.“Auren,” I said, trying to keep my voice firm but kind, “being brave doesn’t mean you’re ready for everything. Hunting isn’t just a game. It’s serious.”He let out a dramatic sigh and plopped down on the ground, crossing his arms. “But I’ve been practi

Kailey’s POVThe tension in the room was unbearable. The air was thick with frustration, anger, and the suffocating weight of expectations. The elders were seated around the long wooden table, their expressions a mix of concern and fury. My head throbbed as their voices echoed off the stone walls of the council hall."This is a serious matter!" Elder Sia slammed her fist on the table, her sharp eyes piercing through me. "The crops are dying, humans are dying, everyone is dying. Alpha Ezekiel, this has to stop!""And what would you have me do?" I retorted, my voice steady, though my insides churned. "I have tried everything! The hunters have doubled their efforts. The healers are working day and night. I've prayed to the Moon Goddess more times than I can count! What more do you expect from me?""Results!" Elder Harren barked, his wrinkled face flushed with anger. "You’ve been Alpha for a year, Ezekiel, and in that time, this pack has only seen death and despair.""Do you think I don’t see

Ezekiel’s POV The first rays of dawn painted the sky as we gathered at the edge of the forest. The air was cool, and the atmosphere was tense. Brax stood by my side, his expression serious as always, while Liora adjusted the strap of her satchel filled with herbs and scrolls. Two of my strongest warriors, Dax and Kieran, flanked us, their presence reassuring but not enough to ease the knot in my stomach.“This is it,” I said, looking at each of them. “Once we leave, there’s no turning back. Are we ready?”“Ready as we’ll ever be,” Brax replied, gripping the hilt of his sword.Liora nodded, her face calm but her eyes alert. “The pack is counting on us. Let’s not waste any more time.”“Let’s move out,” I said, leading the way into the dense forest.The trees closed around us, their shadows long and imposing. The only sounds were the rustling of leaves and the soft crunch of our boots on the ground. No one spoke; the weight of our mission hung heavily in the air.After a while, Brax broke the

Ezekiel’s POVThe night was thick with silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind. I lay on my makeshift bed, staring up at the canvas roof of my tent. Sleep was a fleeting thing these days, but I must have dozed off because the sound came suddenly, sharp and distinct.Footsteps.They were subtle but unmistakable, crunching softly against the forest floor outside.I sat up immediately, my senses on high alert. In the forest, far from the safety of the pack grounds, danger could come from anywhere. Rogues? A thief? Or something worse?I reached for the knife I kept under my bedroll, its cool handle fitting snugly into my palm. Quietly, I got to my feet, careful not to make any noise that might alert whoever—or whatever—was outside.The others were sleeping, their breathing steady and undisturbed. I moved toward the tent flap, my heart pounding as I peeked outside. The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting eerie shadows on the ground.There, near the edge of t

Ezekiel’s POVThe forest was eerily quiet, and I kept following the boy. The faint crunch of leaves underfoot was the only sound as I moved carefully through the shadows. Suddenly, he vanished. One moment he was just ahead of me, and the next, he was gone.I froze, my eyes scanning the dense trees around me. “Where did you go?” I muttered under my breath. The darkness made it hard to see, but I wasn’t going to give up. He had to be here somewhere. My eyes darted upward to the treetops, and I noticed something. One of the trees had its leaves rustling, even though there was no wind.“This is it,” I whispered to myself, stepping closer to the tree. “Hey! I’m not going to hurt you,” I called out, trying to keep my voice calm.No answer.“Who are you?” I asked, my gaze fixed on the rustling branches.Still no response.I sighed and tried again. “Hey, come on. You can talk to me. I’m not here to hurt you.”Silence.Just as I was about to turn away, a small voice broke through the quiet. “My name i

A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 135
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
