Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 14: Breakthrough
NARAH'S POVAt the end of the field, I saw Van and Gina approaching. They stopped close enough to watch what was going on, and behind them, stood the man I had been longing to see–Chris Stevens.“Are you going to walk or just stand there like a statue?” Said the warrior who challenged me. His name was Axton. He giggled when I attempted to take a step but fell back into my wheelchair.“What a joke. A lone wolf can never be a strong wolf,” he said, shaking his head.There was an odd expression in Katy's eye as she glared at me; it was a hint of disappointment.She walked away, and then turned, seeing that I was in pain and my feet were hurting. “Maybe I was wrong. You should take your time to heal,” she said.“Sorry, Narah,” Hanadin whispered to me, but I brushed his hands off my shoulder. I looked over to Van, who was watching me intently, and Gina, who wore a sinister grin, laughing at my defeat.My feet were still hurting, but I managed to stay strong. The wheelchair creaked behind m
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 15: A game of fate
NARAH'S POV “I apologise for not fulfilling my promise. It was selfish of me to depart in that manner,’ Chris said. “I don't expect you to forgive me, but I'm still sorry.” He sounded believing. I had been searching for the right words to express how hurt I was, but they escaped me. With my head buried in my hands and tears in my eyes, I answered hesitantly, “I don't need your apology. I just need to know why.” He remained silent. Maybe I was being a little unfair, I thought— considering the look in his eyes, I suppose I could try to understand why he had left me even if he hadn't said anything. At the time I had no recollection of my past life as Reina, Chris was all I had until he abandoned me. And then, when the memories of my previous existence returned, I felt as if the moon goodness despised me. The woman who gave birth to me had a nine-year-old son named Chris. She lived with her husband and son in a lovely little cottage until she fell in love with a stranger who had come
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 16: The Rogues
ALPHA VAN Even I had to admit that Doctor Rowan was a handsome man with ocean blue eyes, pale skin, and long dark hair that he usually wore up in a bun. I was frightened. For some reason, I thought that he was attracting Narah.What made me fear that? With a gentle breath, Curtis remarked, "Van, I don't like the doctor."As I watched the Doctor leave the estate, I shot back, "We have got more pressing matters at hand at the moment." The words raced through my thoughts. For the previous four years, he has been my physician. I've been dealing with depression, insomnia from dreams, and seizures.Before Gina discovered Doctor Rowan, I had one Doctor Tally. She added that since I didn't seem to be getting better, Doctor Tally's prescription wasn't working.I was aware that I was having nightmares, but I didn't require medical attention. However, I had to remain rational to be the leader of the Pack, so I agreed to continue taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Rowan. My reality was b
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 17: Unraveling control
GINA'S POVMy mother and I were sitting across from one other in the living room when Alpha Van's dark presence enveloped the room.We were flipping through the latest magazines, making notes about things we loved and wanted to purchase, when he passed by.Tsk-tsk-tsk, she clicked her tongue and looked up at me, her doe eyes narrowed while she chewed on her strawberry-flavoured gum.She asked, "Is Alpha Van still having those dreams?" I gave a nod. "Yes, the woman he sees in them is the worst now.”“A woman?” She said abruptly, almost raising her voice.“Shhhhhhhh.” I put a finger against my lips, shushing her before someone would hear our conversation. We both glanced around to make sure we were the only ones in the living room.Then I leaned in closer to her; she edged herself out of her seat and I whispered, “Doctor Rowan told me that Van said he now sees a woman in a black hooded cloak. He also said Van suspects her to be a witch.”My mother’s voice quivered, “He's uncovering the
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 18: Promises and regrets
GINA'S POVMy mother shut her eyes in embarrassment. She couldn't contain the shame. First the disastrous dinner, and now this?I contemplated slapping Narah, but as I approached her, something made me stop in my tracks. Her piercing blue eyes, now ablaze with an intense fire, met mine. The authority in her gaze made me pause. Hanadin's chuckle in the background only added to my growing frustration. At that moment, I regretted ever bringing Narah into this house.My initial curiosity about the wolf I sensed in her, and the eerie connection I felt, seemed insignificant now. I wanted nothing more than for her to leave—immediately.Liam sat in silence, watching the scene unfold, while Sharon hid her face in her palms, snorting and giggling through her tears.The shame seemed too much for my mother to bear. My wolf had submitted to Narah's overpowering aura, leaving me unable to intervene. I could feel the same submissive energy emanating from my mother. She fled the room without utteri
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 19: Two girls and a freckled boy.
NARAH'S POVThe living room was profoundly silent. Eyes darted from face to face, accompanied by crooked, uneasy smiles that suggested everyone was uncomfortable and wished they could leave.Hanadin wrapped me in a warm and comforting hug. I wasn’t sure what gave me the courage to confront Luna Tauriel, though Gina's attack on Hanadin might have contributed. Deep down, I felt it was more than that.I felt like a changed person, similar to how I used to feel when I had Minisi—powerful. I felt a sense of strength and her presence within me. Perhaps she’s still with me.Kacy moved closer to James and removed something from his radiant, tangled brown hair. I was more interested in what they were discussing. I found it hard to look away from them even though Hanadin kept talking to me about what happened with Gina and me.Then, Beta Henry signalled Hanadin by waving his hand in the air and whistling at him like a dog. I thought it was a bit rude, especially because the look on Hanadin's fac
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 20: What is it I feel for the Alpha?
NARAH'S POV The night crawled in quickly and quietly. Hanadin threw his denim jacket over my shoulders to protect me from the cold as we continued our little gossip with Sharon.She talked about how she was secretly trying to earn a living as a bartender in order to clear her student loans. Liam was able to find out, and he offered to help her.A message came in through the Pack’s mindlink, warning about the rogues and also calling for some warriors. I listened. Hanadin confided in me, telling me they were going on a hunt tonight, and Alpha Van would be going too.The reason they had chased us from downstairs was because they needed to call in the warriors to discuss their strategy, and outsiders weren't allowed in on the conversation.Alpha Van would be going out for a hunt tonight, and I couldn't help but feel worried. My heart couldn't stop yearning for him. It was my least favourite new feeling, the emotions I experience when he's not near.“What is it you feel for the Alpha?” T
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 21: Into the woods
ALPHA VAN'S POVThe trees' long and eerie shadows cast on the ground, some branches reaching out like thin, scrawny fingers that dragged damned souls to hell.I was sitting in the passenger's seat, watching the woods from left to right. It looked normal, though ominous, but I couldn't detect any sign of a wolf, let alone a rogue.“We need to park here. You'll go by foot for the rest of the journey,” said the driver as he gently parked the car by the side of the road.The other vehicles behind us stopped as well, and ten of my Pack’s finest warriors, including Kacy, Axton and Rachael stepped down, their eyes glowing with the spirit of battle– a hope that we would win tonight.They gathered around me, waiting for my order, but my mind raced with anxiety. I was afraid we didn't have enough time to prepare for a better strategy.“Beta Henry was able to track the rogue's hideout. If we launch this surprise attack on them like we had planned, then we'll gain victory over our enemies tonight

Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 101: A day to not make decisions
ALPHA VAN’S POV“I don’t believe Gina should be allowed to roam around freely the way she is.”I raised an eyebrow, the corner of my mouth twitching into a half-smile. “I’m pretty sure she isn’t helping much by being detained either. She insisted she didn’t help Anakiyus escape.”Not that I entirely believed Gina, but she seemed sincere. “Liars be sincere until they're caught,” Curtis chimed in, his voice a low growl at the back of my mind. “All evidence proves guilty. Guards wouldn't lie.”I dismissed his voice in my head. Briefly, I glanced at Jeremiah, feeling the familiar tension between us, but he only gave me a deadpan expression. "Besides, she's not allowed to leave the estate. So, her roaming is limited," I added, trying to push the conversation to lighter ground.Jeremiah chuckled, but it was a hollow sound. A short, fanciful laugh that made my skin crawl. “The Luna is under house arrest,” he said with an exaggerated sigh. “How will the Alpha live!”I shot him a dry look. “W
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 100: The bride is always late for her wedding
NARAH’S POVOphelia’s final memories unravelled in my mind, jagged and raw, like shards of glass cutting through my consciousness. I felt everything she had. The coldness of her rage. The weight of her grief.The relentless power that surged through her as she slaughtered the entire Pack in the woods. The rogue Kings fell before her, their blood staining the earth as they crumpled in the dirt. Hendrix was last. She had saved him for last.I could feel the moment she tore his throat open with her claws—her eyes deathly cold and unwavering as his life’s blood gushed out, and the earth drank to its own satisfaction. It was a massacre, brutal and swift.She was unstoppable. The power of the silver wolf coursing through her veins made her a force no one could withstand.But what haunted me the most was how she didn’t hesitate. She didn’t flinch as she watched Hendrix’s body slump to the ground, his blood mixing with the dirt.Ophelia’s heart was a fractured thing, but she didn’t show it. A
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 99: The Pack, the silver wolf, and the witch
NARAH’S POV (Still trapped in Ophelia's body, Ophelia's consciousness overpowered Narah's in this chapter, meaning everything that happened occurred exactly as it did in the past) A sort of hysterical laughter surged up in my throat, and I choked it back. I couldn't believe Hendrix's betrayal. I could taste the bile that had formed at the back of my throat as anger, frustration, and severe despair coursed through my veins. Still, I said nothing, my eyes fixated on Hendrix. He stood tall and proud at the front of the Pack, the rogue Kings behind him. I didn't know what to make of the situation. I just couldn't believe it. “Hendrix, how could you?” Jenna snapped, her brows furrowing. “Shut up, witch!” ordered one of the rogue Kings. “Hendrix has told the truth to all of us. Your atrocity is a disgrace. You are an abomination.” I listened to every word, and they rang like a tolling bell, ripping my heart out. But nothing hurt more than seeing the expression on Hendrix's face.
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 98: And then there was me
NARAH'S POV How would I tell Ophelia? Was there even a way for me to inform her about Hendrix’s plan? History had already taken place, and there was no way that I could change it. There was no turning back the hands of time. Just as I ran out of the cottage, the weird teleportation thing happened again, and this time, I found myself plunged into darkness. No—my eyes were closed. I just had to open them. When my eyes finally opened, I noticed I was lying on a hard, rough surface—hay, scattered around the floor like a crude mattress. My body ached all over, every muscle screaming in protest. The pain was so intense that I wondered if it was the side effect of being teleported multiple times. The confusion muddied my thoughts, and I tried to push through the agony to sit up. As I struggled to rise, a jolt of pain shot through me, more intense than before, and I collapsed back into the hay. A groan slipped from my lips. What in the world had happened to me? My mind raced as I
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 97: A nerve-wracking revelation
NARAH'S POV “What do you mean by that?” Hendrix asked, his voice calm but edged with something darker.“Only silver wolves can use the Moon Jade. I thought everyone knew that?”“Everyone? That's in the old times,” Hendrix sneered, his gaze hardening as he leaned closer to Ophelia. His fingers dug into her arms, a subtle but firm grip that made my stomach turn. “Isn’t your mate supposed to have access to the Jade? Isn’t the Jade supposed to make me powerful enough to wipe out an entire city?”His eyes turned completely dark as he spoke. His voice became awfully sinister, sending nothing but dread through me. Looking at Ophelia, the terror in her eyes and the quivering of her lips and the way her body flinched beneath his touch, I could tell he had that same effect on her.It was terrifying to watch this man who she was to marry inflict physical pain on her, and he wasn't aware that he was hurting her. Did the Moon Jade really have that kind of power, though? To annihilate entire citi
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 96: A shocking revelation that proves history might just be wrong
NARAH'S POV As I stood by the edge of the woods, the wind blowing through my hair, I sighed deeply. How was I supposed to know where the girls went? I was literally in the middle of nowhere. Now, the name “nowhere zone” was beginning to make sense.Suddenly, my ears picked up the rustling of leaves behind me, and I quickly turned. A man was standing right behind me, barely three feet away. Darkness shrouded his face, making me shift back in fear.Was he staring at me? I wondered. But then I noticed that he wasn't. He couldn't even see me.He was young, handsome in a way that made him seem both dangerous and alluring. His short black hair framed a sharp face, but it was the way he looked at the empty space in front of him, where the portal had been—those deep brown eyes—that told me everything I needed to know.He was a werewolf. I could feel the wolf beneath him, restless and watching, waiting for something.Wait! Had he been hiding in the trees, watching Jenna and Ophelia before the
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 95: Finding the truth
NARAH'S POVMy heart was pounding in my chest, and my breath came in shallow bursts. I wondered how this empty room had become a forest. The nowhere zone felt more like the “not making sense” zone.Whatever it was, it was making my skin crawl and it pricked every damn nerve. Gosh! It wasn't a good feeling.“When you learn the truth, find me and defeat me. Then you can get your wolf back,” the voice echoed, its words fading into the distance like a haunting memory.“What truth am I supposed to…”Before I could finish my statement, the door slammed shut behind me. The room was plunged into complete darkness. I couldn’t see a thing any longer. Not even my own hand when I waved it in front of my face.“Please, wait, come back,” I screamed, spinning toward the door, but realising it had vanished.Then, without warning, the lights flickered back on. But this wasn’t the soft glow of overhead bulbs. It was the natural light of the morning sun, pouring through the canopy of trees that now surr
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 94: A dream or a nightmare, either of it is unsettling
NARAH'S POV“I'll rather take a sip,” I said, looking away from James. “I'm going to take a sip, people.”I took a cup of alcohol and downed it in one gulp, feeling the burn slide down my throat. Disappointed gasps echoed around me. They’d been waiting for me to finally do a dare, to break out of my shell, but this—this wasn’t what they had in mind.“You’re getting married tomorrow, Narah,” Kacy teased, laughing. “Have fun now, while you still can.”“I knew she wouldn’t kiss him,” Sharon murmured, resting her head on my shoulder, her voice tinged with something like pity or amusement.I thought I saw the lights flickering—then they went off, only to instantly turn back on. I looked at James, his expression unreadable for a moment before he forced a smile— awkward, and tight as if he were hiding a pain only he could feel.My heart twisted.“I can't kiss a married woman. She's married already,” James said.“That's tomorrow, dude. She's not married until tomorrow,” Isolde quickly added.
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 93: A daughter's costly mistake and expectations
GINA'S POV “You failed your father miserably. How could you?” my mother snapped, anger edging her voice, biting into her words as they struck me.The scent of her perfume filled the air, making my stomach turn. I didn't know what the f**k to say to her, or if I could even think of anything to say at all.“This is all that stupid girl's fault. That whore, Narah,” Ria groaned bitterly.Was it really Narah's fault that my life was a f**king mess? My father wouldn't even speak with me, let alone see me. I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat growing larger. What was there to say?“I'm sorry, mom...I just need more—”“More what?” “...” Panic surged through me, and my voice shuddered in my throat, locked up by fear and shock. I'd fiercely wished that I had the courage to defend myself right now, but I cowered like the coward that I was at the mention of my father.I wished I could find the f**king courage to defend myself, to scream at her that I wasn’t the one who had failed—I wasn’t t
