Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 9 : CONFLICTING EMOTIONS
“Have you forgotten you were the one who denied her in front of the entire pack? Took a new mate and had her banished from the pack!” a voice countered.“It was for the pack! I did it for the unity of the pack!” he argued, trying to convince himself.“Deal with it then!”-The voice disappeared.Alexa got up and started pacing the room. “She’s hiding in that small village.” She muttered.“We will have to smoke her out then.” She said, the idea igniting a smile conclusively that as her final decision on this matter.Thane was quiet but he didn’t like the idea. “Did you have the book in sight?” he asked the soldiers instead.“No Alpha, but we believe she’s still in custody of it.” They responded.“Good. Until we decide on what next to do, don’t breath a word of these to anyone!” He instructed.Alexa turned to him, her jaw dropped slightly at his pronouncement. What could be his reason for keeping this a secret?The soldiers bowed once more and saluted, making their way out. The metal door

“Thinking about your unfaithful mate?” said the voice as it made a turn and sat beside me.I let out a huge sigh of relief and suddenly calmness eroded my soul.I turned to the person now sitting beside me. ‘Cara!’I suddenly remembered what she did for me. “I’m sorry I never got to thank you for breaking the spell.” I said with a polite smile.“Yeah… I heard you can finally wield your wolf.” She said looking distant.“Nia, right?” she turned to me. “Your wolf.” She asked.“Yeah.” I replied with a nod, a little shy.“How does it feel to finally grow into her under a full moon without any hindrance?” she looked at me with a smirk.“It feels great, it’s something I can’t really explain.” I said.Cara nodded. “That’s great.” She paused, continuing afterwards. “Now one part is over, what’s left for you to do is harness the magical powers handed down to you from your bloodline.” She added.I was quiet. “The aurora’s seal right?” I asked. “That’s what is needed to help me harness my powers.

“You howl beautifully, Mira.” He said while coming towards me and I lowered my gaze shyly. “Thank you.” I blushed.“Alright.” Cara cleared her throat, interrupting the building chemistry between us.“I’ll be on my way now, catch you two later.” She winked and I more than anything wanted to protest and swear on my mother’s grave that there’s nothing going between us let alone be couples but she trotted away before I had the chance to speak.We watched her brown wolf disappear into the woods Luca emerged from.I sighed and looked at the moon, our attention fell on each other again after she went out of sight.“Didn’t know you could howl so well.” Luca said circling me.I exhaled sharply. “I too was surprised at how good I howled.” I shrugged. “I guess they are things I’m still discovering about me.” “You’re indeed a book worth a read.” He commented. “So what brought you out here?” he asked. “Nothing… just wanted to be a lone wolf for a while, playing with my thoughts but Cara didn’t

“And so when everything was calmer, my mom and I scavenged through the forest helplessly until we found this village. It became our home.” He narrated.“We were happy to see people like us here.” He exhaled sharply. “Apparently most of them shared the same fate, casted away, rejected, unwanted folks and no matter our differences. We have learnt to stay in unity and peace for as long as I can remember.” He narrated.Tears gathered in my eyes and I felt their pain. Imagine if I didn’t have anywhere else to go or if he hadn’t rescued me from Thane’s men. What would have been my fate?Perhaps, one day I will read about the founders of this village or probably I could get someone to tell me about its history and then I would write it down in a book so everyone else who comes into this village would know how it became and appreciate those who had come together to make sure the outcasts have a place in the world.“Sorry about that, Luca. You and your mother have been through so much together

I couldn’t help the laughter that erupted through my lungs but I had to look ahead and focus on the race before me.I did my best to out run him but he still had a way to catch up with me. He slowed down and was now running at my own speed.“Who’s about to be the loser now, aye?” he raised a brow and sneered at me.I panted heavily, trying to catch my breath but I didn’t stop running. I laughed and shook my head, he wasn’t even putting half the effort I was putting in this race.For a kiss? That’s not gonna hurt, is it?It’s nothing, it's just a kiss. You can totally rest and catch your breath.Thoughts of giving up to catch my breath were more spontaneous than the thought of winning.“No!” I shook it off. “I won’t give up!” I muttered, building up courage, I increased my strides and fudged ahead.He was surprised at my sudden zeal and determination as I went five times more than my current speed. It so amazed him that he trotted behind while he watched me girdle up ahead.I only stop

Where exactly in Thane’s pack was this seal?My mind started searching every nook and cranny of the library wondering if I had mistakenly seen it around and then I recalled vividly.In the midst of the growing love between Thane and I, he had shown me something. Something he claimed was a heritage to his pack and had been kept safe since they had possession of it.Silence cut through like a sword. “Its okay!” Della sighed, her words cutting through my thoughts. She got on her feet. “Since you’re one of us now,” She started. “You will have to undergo training in order to be able to survive here and protect our village against intruders.” She announced.She turned to leave but suddenly halted and turned to me. “Perhaps you could learn to fight like a warrior or learn to wield your powers.” She ended and continued walking towards her bedroom.I and Luca exchanged glances but didn’t say a word. Luca left the room, and now it was just I and Cara left.She too left eventually and I was b

“So you think people who would hurt you would heal you of your wounds?” I questioned.He looked at himself that moment and oddly remembered that all his injuries were gone and scar free.“I didn’t check anything. All I wanted to do was get to safety.” He replied. His words seemed honest but I wouldn’t know for sure.My eyes squinted as I looked at him intently. There was something off about him—something familiar.“What’s your name?” I tried again, this time more friendlier.The man hesitated at first, then he gulped and exhaled. “Nathan.” He answered.“Alright, Nathan.” Luca took over. “Why were you sneaking off in the middle of the night? If you wanted to know where you were, you would have waited until morning to talk to someone.” He questioned.Nathan hesitated again, his eyes landing on me for a brief moment before looking away. “Because I don’t trust any of you.” He replied.Luca scoffed. “You don’t trust us? Even after we found you wounded in the woods, brought you here and tre

Nathan clenched his jaw as his eyes darted between Della and the rest of us. He inhaled deeply before answering, his voice clothed with frustration. "I woke up in an unfamiliar place, okay? I didn’t know what to do, I didn't know if I was safe or not. So yes, I tried to leave.""You tried to leave.” Luca scoffed, shaking his head.Nathan shrugged despite his bounds.Della examined him for a long while, her countenance was blank and unreadable. Then, she sighed sharply and turned to me. "Mira, you seemed interested in what he had to say. What was he telling you?"I hesitated. How could I explain it? How could I explain that the moment he said he knew my parents, a storm was stirred inside me? That for the first time in a long time, I felt like I was on the verge of understanding who I was."He told me he knew my parents," I admitted, my voice almost a whisper.Della’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she remained composed. "And you believed him?"Luca scoffed. "Of course, she shouldn’t, th

Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 43 : Who was he?
I jolted and sat upright in bed... my heart was pounding like a war drum, my chest going up and down like tidal waves. The room was dark, save for the pale moonlight sneaking in through the wooden slits of the window. My skin was clammy, and eyes unwilling to close back to sleep again.I touched my face in panic. Hot? cold?A part hot and the other cold. Literally hot, like I had been physically exposed to raw fire and cold—like I had been dipped in ice or frozen.That dream—it felt too real. I panicked.The man… the seal… his eyes. I could still feel his stare lingering in the corners of my room like a stabbing dagger waiting to take me alive... a nonexistent shadow yet I couldn’t shake it off.I rose quietly and walked to the window, pushing it open and pulling the curtains aside just a little.A rush of wind came blowing in, taking up my hair in the air. I listened, the village was wrapped in silence, save for the occasional whisper of wind. It was quiet, asleep. Peaceful. But I
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 42 : ANOTHER NIGHTMARE!
Luca blinked, clearly taken aback. “She did?” The surprise in his voice was unmistaken and sweet.I nodded. "Hmm-mm"“Well… I guess I should thank her for saving my ass,” he chuckled dryly, scratching the back of his head. “But, I still wanted to be the one to tell you. I owed you that.” he said looking all serious but I knew not to fall for that.I didn't respond. There was a quiet pause. Then, with some more boldness, he stepped closer.“You know,” he began with a sly smile, “For you to have waited for me, it showed you cared and had already forgiven me. Della did a good job of watering the garden for me to come planting." He said feeling funky.I raised a brow. “I was walking on my own. You asked me to wait for you and you just happened to catch up.”“Still counts,” he said with a grin.He walked beside me as we continued the little journey towards the habitable parts of the village.The sky was already getting dark with taints of soft purple and orange hues, colouring the entire s
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 41 : DELLA TOLD ME EVERYTHING!
I raised my head too, to look at the barriers and as I expected, they were invincible. The sun burned its way into my eyes and I looked down immediately quicker than she did.Though my questions about the sword were answered... somehow my mind wasn’t still at ease.I wanted to ask her who the man I saw her speaking to at the barrier was, and how she and Luca are able to go outside the barrier but none of us can.Yet, I couldn't muster the courage to.So I sat quietly.Also, I didn't think it was the right time to ask her to complete my parents' love tale."I'll go now and allow you to enjoy your own company." She giggled and patted me on the shoulders. She got on her feet and moved away gently, leaving me all alone with all my train of thoughts and the buzzing wind.*NARRATOR'S POV The heavy metallic door of the Alpha's throne room was pulled open and a soldier marched in.His armor dusted with ash and some spill of red stains which had a taint of metallic scent in them—blood, of
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 40 : THE SWORD
I sat on the edge of a cliff, legs dangling over the rocky edge. I'm usually scared of heights but right now, I don't care.My mind was a battlefield... I kept wondering why Luca would not want to tell me about the sword?—What if I hadn't been opportune to eavesdrop on his conversation with Falcon? That means I would never have known!Like a pictured image I could replay the scene vividly in my head. The way the sword responded to him, the way the ancient, rune imprinted metal hummed to his touch, the faint glow… it was like it knew him. Like it had chosen him.Somehow, my mind immediately escaped to the time we both stumbled to the ground and he was above me.That was so close... Too close. The closest we've ever been. I felt my heart throbbing so fast like it wanted to fall out of my chest, why though?Love?It's not love.Cannot be love. I’m not loving another man... Not after… My brows furrowed angrily and hands folded into a fist. Betrayers.Suddenly, a voice pierced through he
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 39 HE LIED SO EASILY.
Is that so?” I pressed. "Or you just don't want to tell me." I concluded.He stepped back, lowering his arms. “Where were you last night?”The switch in topic caught me off guard. “What?” I don’t know when the shocker came out of my mouth.“I saw you… with Nathan. Late. Alone. Just you two.” he continued and tried to indulge me in punching.I narrowed my eyes as I followed his lead. "Seriously? And how did you notice us?""I told you, you're my business so I keep an eye on you." I scoffed unbelievably, shaking my head.“Are you seriously jealous right now?”He stepped forward, voice low, his face an inch from mine—his breath caressing my face. “I’m seriously trying to protect you, and it doesn’t help when you go moonlighting with someone who jokes about everything including his own life.”“I’m not a child, Luca. You don’t get to choose who I go out with.” I stood up to him.His jaw tightened. “I see." He stepped back and looked away. "He's been saying things to you, making you feel

Nathan slowed his pace, his eyes flicking towards me with something unreadable in them. “Not much.” He shrugged.“Only what I overheard Luca and Della say earlier.” He added, wiggling his eyebrows at me.“You were able to eavesdrop?” I gasped almost too excited about it for my own good. I was half impressed, half shocked.“Hey, I’m good at lurking, that’s what I do.” he smirked, spreading his arms in self defense.I chuckled softly, “So what were they talking about?” I inquired curiously.“It’s better your lover boy tells you himself.” He looked at me, the smirk still tugging at the corner of his lips.“He’s not my lover!” I protested, wearing a slight frown.“Yeah you can keep denying it all you want but we all see it, the way he looks at you…” he stops and stared at me. “It’s different.” He added.“Tsk!” I hissed. “That’s how flirty guys are.” I brushed it off.“So you really not going to tell me what you heard?” I cornered our conversation back to the reason I decide to stroll with
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 37 : I WAS SO SURE.
Before I could make a move to follow them, I felt a soft tap on my shoulders, I was shocked. My body stiffened before it started turning slowly towards the direction of the touch.Who could it be? Was I already discovered?I hissed, heaving a sigh of relief, I rolled my eyes… it wasn’t anyone to be scared of. It was just—Nathan.But what was he doing out here?He was just above me, crouching awkwardly, his face tense. “What the hell are you doing here?” I whispered loudly.He looked at me then back at Della and Luca, his eyes had a flicker of mischief. “Gathering the truth.” He replied.I looked over my shoulders nervously. “If you’re not careful, you’ll get yourself locked up like Falcon.”“Maybe.” He shrugged. “...but we both know why Falcon is locked up in the first place,” He shot back. “You saw the sword. It isn’t wasn’t ordinary.”I hesitated, then gave a slight nod. “It isn’t. It reacted to Luca. That’s not normal. We both know relics like that choose their wielder.”He nodded
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 36 : HE DIDNT STOP.
"When I pulled it out… the ground started shaking and I thought I was going to be swallowed up under the ground by the earthquake but shortly after the shaking stopped and I heard sounds… it was the sword, it spoke to me.” He said, his voice mischievous.“What did it say?” Luca asked, leaning forward.“I don’t know… Hums. Voices, ancient songs like a chant in hell!” he replied, exaggerating. “All I heard were these words ‘safe’ the ‘destroyer’ and twisted ancient satanic chants like that.” He grimaced.“They say it was owned by either a powerful sorcerer, a witch, a nine council member? A combination of all? Who knows?.” He shrugged and chuckled.“But whoever possessed this sword according to the legendary tales, had only one intention and that was to stop the rogue wolf from uniting the mythical creatures.” He explained.Luca sighed. “If you couldn’t wield it, why did you keep it?” he asked.“It’s a fucking reward for a fearless, skillful adventurer. The only proof! A monument to add
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 35 : HIS COURAGE!
Luca tilted his head, then smiled—not warmly. “Alright. Let me rephrase that." He sighed."Tell me the truth… and probably I might consider letting you leave." Luca said with a smirk on his face."Out of the village. Beyond the barrier. No more rules. Just total freedom.” He gestured, locking his eyes on Falcon’s face, wearing still, that cunning smirk on his face.Falcon’s eyes lit up faintly, curiosity piqued. He glanced at the sword again, and then back at Luca. “Are you kidding me or you're dead serious?” he questioned, doubt evident in his tone.“I'm dead serious,” Luca lied smoothly, crossing his arm as he leaned back on his seat. “No blade to your throat. No guards. You get your wish—adventure, the wild, the chaos outside these walls, everything!”*I walked by the barrier stealthily as the wind brushed past my face, my eyes narrowed in determination as the moon appeared in the evening sky.The hums and shimmers of the magical wall still flickered faintly under the fading sunl
