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

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

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

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

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
Last Updated : 2024-08-20Broken 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
Last Updated : 2024-08-21Broken 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
Last Updated : 2024-08-22Broken 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 115: The road to redemption
GINA'S POV “Reina is back, she's back.” The words stumbled out of my lips, as tears filled my eyes.“This is bad, really, really bad,” Ria cowered.As I lay helplessly on the narrow metal-framed bed, staring blankly at the cold, cream-coloured walls of my prison cell, all I could think of was how I had been such a weakling and a fool.I couldn't even control my own mind and all this time, I thought I had been in control of a situation, whereas I had been a mere puppet. My father and mother had been the ones controlling my life, pulling the strings however they liked. I had my fair share of evil in my blood, but looking back, I wasn't always like this.I admitted that the first mistake I ever made was sabotaging Reina’s relationship with Arthur by setting him up with her cousin, Dahlia.I did it out of pure jealousy. I hated Reina. That was what I thought. The truth was I never hated her. No, I didn't. She was the best part of my life until she wasn't. I had the most fun with her whi
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 114: The witch and the Luna
LIORA'S POV Clearly, I was overthinking it. It was a door that led to the kitchen, and maybe the maids had to use it often. Okay, maybe it was a trap. As we entered the hallway, the darkness enveloping us, panic surged through me. The air was thick with the scent of savoury dishes that clung to me like a fish on a hook. At the end of the hallway, a door stood in the center, slightly ajar. Lights flickered above, and sent shadows dancing across the walls. The distant sound of faint voices, talking over one another, escaped from behind the door, filling the creepy hallway like haunted ghosts. As we marched onward, a few feet from the door ahead, we saw another wooden door by the side of the wall, old and rugged. It felt out of place compared to the others. Though wooden, the door we had just walked through and the one ahead were made of strong oak and had fine engravings of different patterns on them. Whereas this particular door was thin and as plain as day. Nas proposed we shoul
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 113: The Moonlight Pack's territory
LIORA'S POV “So this is the Moonlight territory? Not bad,” I said, impressed. “Hey, keep your eyes on the guards,” Anakiyus ordered. I wrinkled my nose in disapproval and mimicked him in a quiet, disturbing mockery of a voice, which sent Nas chuckling. “What is it?” Anakiyus asked, oblivious to the shenanigans going on behind him as we walked through the bustling street which led to the Alpha's house. “Nothing.” Nas croaked immediately. Anakiyus looked between Nas and me, his expression grim, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. As his gaze landed on me again, my shoulders rose and fell in a lazy shrug, my hands drifting up to accompany the notion, as if to say, “I swear it, I have no idea what's going on.” I flashed an innocent smile to convince him, and he still didn't buy it. He shook his head and slowly turned away, his eyes scanning the street ahead. Nas and I exchanged a quick amused glance. I let out a sigh, thanking the heavens I wasn't caught imitating the humourle
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 112: The devil in human form
NARAH'S POV The air seemed to vibrate with tension, and I could feel the weight of Gina's gaze on me like a physical touch that made my skin crawl.“Hope you've been well?”“You're the last person I thought I'd see,” she said, her voice soft as wool.“And yet, here I am.”“Isn't it a coincidence?” I've been doing a lot of thinking. Earlier, I was just thinking about you, and guess what? I found something weird.”I cocked a brow. “Really? What did you find?”“You're not just a stinky maid. When we first met, my intuition about you was right,” she breathed slowly, savouring every word. She seemed to find it interesting, basking in her own words, like a puzzle she had just solved. “And what intuition is that?” I asked dryly.She smiled in a knowing manner. “You're wolf-less, like someone I used to know, someone who you remind me of… someone DEAD,” she said. “You see, when I was a cub, about ten years old, there was something I read in a book once that fascinated me. I dreamt about it
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 111: The enchantment
NARAH'S POV “The Alpha has fallen into a coma, but there's nothing wrong with him scientifically. There’s absolutely nothing I can determine,” I heard Doctor June confirm. “That's because it's a witch's enchantment,” I said, stepping into Alpha Van's room, my footsteps echoing in the stillness. They all turned back to look at me. Miss Kiara's eyes narrowed. “An enchantment?” she asked. She was sitting beside Alpha Van, her hands clasped around his. Tears had dried on her face, and her eyes had turned red as velvet. She had been away for a long time, so she definitely didn't know anything about her children or the things they were going through. “Yes, an enchantment. Alpha Van had complained about this to Doctor Rowan, and it's not new that he's been having seizures and needed medications to stay well.” The words escaped my lips freely, and I didnt even care to stop there until Kacy interrupted. “Narah's right,” she declared. “Van talks about a woman in his dreams and voices in h
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 110: The price of deadly secrets
GINA’S POVAs Jeremiah carried Van on his back, Beta Solomon, Kacy, Kiara, and some of the Pack guards went along with them. Jeremiah was taking him into the house, while Kacy was outside on a phone call with Doctor June.The heat of the tension pulsed through my veins. I thought Van suddenly passing out was an excellent distraction from the bone of contention—Liam and me.“What's going on?” my wolf, Ria, asked, afraid. “Gina, did you feel that? Van has broken free from the enchantment. How's that even possible?”Nothing was impossible. I was scared he would have broken free sooner, and that was why I had Chris as a backup plan, giving him those stupid magic pills to keep him in check. Although, since Van had stopped the medication, he was bound to break free from the spell sooner or later. He was tremendously strong, after all. I hated to admit that I was impressed.He whispered something to Narah while struggling to breathe. What did he say to her? At that instant, her eyes met mi
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 109: Unveiling the truth and a betrayal at the altar
NARAH'S POV “He didn't tell you the truth?” “No, he didn't,” Sharon said, wiping her tears. I didn't expect Liam to actually tell her, but when Sharon had a slight change of mind about proceeding with the plan, I asked her to speak with Liam. If he told her the truth about him and Gina, then she could leave peacefully, as she wanted. However, since he didn't tell her, the plan was still on. The entire wedding party would have to see who the Luna had been having an affair with, and for Liam… well, he'd have to deal with his brother afterward, just as Gina would have to deal with him too. I held Sharon's hand, squeezing it gently, I said to her, “Let's go. You've tried your best to give him a chance. Whatever happens now is not your fault.” She blinked several times, fighting back tears that stung her eyes. It was time to go downstairs. The guests were already waiting, and so was the groom. The weather was nice today. The cool wind carried on peacefully, and the birds sang their
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 108: The human between MY ALPHA and me
GINA'S POV Today was the day I finally gave my love away. The thought of it alone sent a shiver down my spine, and I slammed my fist on the headrest of the bed, making the frame creak in protest. “I hate my life,” I groaned sluggishly, sitting up right. Last night was f**king hell, and today was… was there anything worse than hell? If there was, you could f**king bet I was living in it. I squeezed my face at the strong stench of booze that danced particularly around me. My mouth felt parched. My tongue was sticky, tasting the lingering flavour of last night's cigarettes and alcohol, a failed attempt to drown and set my sorrows ablaze. All that alcohol doused with wolfsbane and I still couldn't get drunk. The sun filtered through the curtains, and as my eyes drifted across my room, squinting, all I could think of was how miserable my present situation was. Rufus was lying next to me. I gently stroked his fur, and he opened his eyes before shutting them again. I lazily got
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 107: The rough-edged road to healing
NARAH’S POVMy heart was still pounding in my chest when I pulled away from Van.“I'm sorry to interrupt, but I found the gloves,” Corolla said with a knowing smirk, though her expression was vaguely flustered.I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease settle deep within me. She was putting on a bra top, tights, and sneakers. Her red hair was tied up in a ponytail. She must have been working out with Alpha Van before I arrived.“You're not interrupting anything, Corolla,” I whispered, my breath catching in my throat.She took a step forward, her gaze never leaving mine. “I heard about your wedding. I'm sorry it went south.”I blinked, trying to steady my breath as I shook my head. “Thank you. I guess... It was for the best—”“Was it?” she interjected, her voice gentle yet firm as he stepped closer, closing the distance between us.Her scent—fruity, with a hint of something more primal—wrapped around me like a blanket, but her appearance darkened—something between concern and somethin
