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

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

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

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

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

ALPHA VAN'S POVThe rogue wolf positioned itself beside its Pack members, who were still in their human form, its eyes radiating with an otherworldly energy.Through our mindlink, I said to my Pack warriors as they attempted to advance, “Hold on. They've caught on to us.”The rogue wolf began to transform, its body twisted and contorted until it stood on two legs, its lips curling into a satisfying smirk.“You ought not to have come here, Van. You're so predictable.” Together with my pack warriors, we shifted into our human form. My skin crawled with dread as I recognised the voice who spoke, and the moonlight revealed the face, confirming my suspicions“Anakiyus, you snake,” I bared my teeth as buried memories resurfaced, peeling through my mind like the reopening of an old wound. I almost charged forward but restricted myself.With a glint in his eyes, he laughed. “You should have gotten rid of me when you had the chance, man.” “What do you want?” I asked, still restraining Curtis

ALPHA VAN'S POV The moment Curtis forced his way to the surface, a flood of raw emotion surged through me, and the roar of the battle around us faded as our focus narrowed solely on Anakiyus. The sight of his wolf, once our comrade, but now a monstrous embodiment of betrayal, fueled Curtis’s relentless rage.“I make you have painless death,” Curtis offered through a mindlink to his opponent.Anakiyus's wolf stood firmly once again, oozing with confidence, its gaze watching Curtis's every step calculatively. The old wound of our shattered friendship throbbed painfully, mingling with the primal rage Curtis unleashed.As fangs bared and the earth trembled beneath us, my mind raced with the weight of past failures and unheeded warnings.Anakiyus's wolf dashed towards Curtis, launching a surprise assault by slithering under him and scratching into his stomach. The cut would have been fatal if Curtis hadn't jumped the instant he felt Anakiyus's wolf's claws against his skin."Let's go!"

NARAH'S POVBeta Solomon stood at the entrance, his bald head radiating in the sunlight that streamed through the door.His sharp brown eyes scanned the room with an unsettling intensity. His eyes peered through mine.Alpha Van and I sprang apart, our gazes darting around awkwardly. I didn't know what to say, everything seemed to happen too fast.Beta Solomon cleared his throat, breaking the silence. “I apologise for the intrusion, Alpha. I merely came to check if you were awake.”Alpha Van, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, replied, “It’s fine. You can come in. I’m awake now.”Beta Solomon’s gaze landed on me, and a wry expression crossed his face. I cleaned the sweat trickling down my forehead, unsure of how to respond. I offered a hesitant smile, which quickly faded as his features hardened into a stony mask.The man wasn't particularly fond of anyone, least of all me.“Important matters need to be discussed,” he said coldly, his eyes silently urging me to leave.I

Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 136: Power
NARAH'S POV I wiped my tears, smiling and nodding, but it was only for a split second before the creature pounced on me, pinning me to the ground. It seemed to be fighting with the voices in its head, staggering back, growling, and throwing punches at its own head.My heart hammered in my chest as my shuddering legs managed to find the strength to support me. Frantically, I dashed through the clearing once more. However, Beta Bernard was no longer in sight. The creature—Van— was hot on my heels again, a twisted shadow of the man I loved. Each desperate step felt like it could be my last, but there was no time to stop.No! I couldn't stop. Not now, not when Beta Bernard was still out there, controlling everything and planning to destroy people's lives.I glanced over my shoulder just in time to see Alpha Van stumble again, his paws pounding the earth, his body fighting against the unnatural force that gripped him.It was as if a part of him, deep inside, was beginning to take charge,
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 135: The cursed wolves
NARAH'S POV The monsters surrounding us snarled, their eyes empty of recognition, all of them bound by the same cruel will. “So that which was cursed may never be cursed again,” witch Verusia whispered, staring at Jeremiah. Then I understood what she meant. The reason Jeremiah hadn't changed along with the others was that he had been cursed by the Moon Jade, and now the curse Beta Bernard had placed on the other werewolves could not touch him. The air grew thick, making it difficult to breathe, as we shifted back slowly while the creatures approached. My eyes were locked on them, thinking of how to win this battle without hurting them. “Beta Bernard is controlling their minds,” I said, my voice firm. “I'll see how I can get the Moon Jade from him, while you guys handle our friends.” “Our friends?” Liora snapped. “Look at them. I bet all they want is to sink their teeth into our plump flesh and use our bones as toothpicks.” Jeremiah sneered, his eyes flashing with defiance.
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 134: The Beta's appetite for power
NARAH'S POV I could see the feral grin on his face as he rose from the ground like a phoenix rising from its ashes. I expected nothing less. Beta Bernard's appetite for power seemed to know no bounds. His eyes blazed with an intense white light that radiated like a flashlight pointing in all directions until they finally rested on me. I caught Liora's body in midair just before it slammed onto the ground.“Oh my! Thank you,” she mumbled, catching her breath, disbelief etched on her face.“Are you okay?”She nodded instinctively; then her eyes darted toward Beta Bernard, scanning the clearing. His guards were getting back on their feet, along with Luna Tauriel. The flames they had held were now extinguished and the sticks tossed aside.“That old man just won't quit. Motherf**ker!” Liora cursed bitterly, glaring at him.“He looks pretty mad and happy at the same time,” I retorted.Instantly, Liora's amber eyes grew large with surprise as they focused behind me, gawking at something—or
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 133: The curse of the Moon Jade
NARAH'S POV When I created a portal to lead us to where Liora and the others were, I thought I had conjured the right destination. I was dumbfounded when it led us to a part of the woods where I saw Gina. She was holding on to dear life…barely.It broke my heart to see her like that—battered and broken beyond saving. I could sense the silver mixing like a drug in her blood. It pulsed through her veins like the rhythm of a mourning song.When I held her, the things she had done since my return were quickly erased from my mind, replaced by a gaping wound of regret and sorrow which scared my heart deeply.For the first time, I caught a glimpse of the sister I had once known and loved. The Gina that had filled my childhood with her elegance. Her sultry green eyes had lost their sparkle. They were bleary with tears, and her pupils were dilating.For Corolla—I didn't exactly know what to feel. Hurt, betrayed, and beneath it, a genuine love for a friend whom I had thought was true. What a t
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 132: Sisters at war
GINA'S POV “How pathetic! You think you can fight me?” Corolla spat, “You should just go back to your stupid, glittering life, being pretty and useless.”I scoffed, the sound tearing from my throat like a challenge. “I don't care what happens here, but I won't let you go, not after what you did to Liam.”I held back tears as I recalled how my Liam had died in Corolla's cruel hands. For a moment, I let the memories wash over me—the pain, the unbearable grief, the anguish. There was no way in hell or on earth that I'd let her live even if it would cost me my life. I'd fight until the very end.“Do you think father would be proud to see us at war?”“I don't f***king care what he thinks.”“What about your mother?”“Go to hell, Corolla.”Corolla's laughter filled the night's air. I felt a shiver run down my spine. Still, I remained bold and alarmed in case she would pull one of her dubious moves.“How could you work with our enemies? You f**king traitor.”“They're not my enemies. My only
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 131: Threads of a twisted fate
NARAH'S POV“I might know a way to get there faster.”“Is there a shortcut?”“You can call it that. I’ve just never tried it before, but I think I might be able to do it,” I mumbled doubtfully. “I know you're thinking of creating a portal,” Minisi said. “Since you have witch's blood in your veins now, I'm sure you can give it a try. But don't forget that creating a portal is a complex and unpredictable magic. If you lose control, it could rip apart the fabric of space and time, or worse, trap us in a never-ending loop of dimensions.”“Wow, thanks a lot for reminding me of the consequences if I fail. It's a nice way to say ‘don't do it, but hey, might as well go ahead and doom us all,’ Yeah, thank you,” I quipped, releasing a gush of air and blowing a strand of hair out of my face.“I'm just saying,” Minsi added. “I’m glad you understand, though.”“I want to create a portal,”I said to Alpha Van. His brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed.“A portal? I've read of powerful witches creati
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 130: The bleeding heart of the silver wolf
NARAH'S POV The music stopped at once, and the musicians ran haywire behind the curtains. The guests watched in horror as the intended sacrifice was released from the trap they had captured her in.Corolla's eyes were dark and her brows furrowed in anger and confusion. But before she could react, a deafening crash from the side of the building echoed through the walls.Gina, flanked by Zander and Isolde, strode into the hall, their eyes scanning the room until they settled on me and my rescuer—Alpha Van, my love.It was he who drew the blade out of my chest. He had managed to come from behind the stage just before Bryan even finished climbing up the stairs. Bryan approached, disbelief masking his features as he accessed us. My glowing eyes reverted to their ocean blue as they locked onto Alpha Van’s. How did he get here? Corolla had been expecting him, and here he was, without her knowledge, I presumed. Here he was— saving me.He scooped me into his strong, muscular arms and lowered
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 129: The party
NARAH'S POV I felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over me, and my stomach churned with nausea that seemed to come with cramping that came out of nowhere. “Reina, I don't know how much longer we can go on like this before… Reina” “Please, Minsi, don't give up on me now,” I groaned. My skin was deathly pale, and my eyelids could barely lift. It was too much of an effort to even try. The air was rich with the scent of delicacies and a mixture of various colognes. It felt as if I was being pricked by a needle, and as if blood was rushing to my brain. I felt bad for having to put Minisi in this situation just when she finally came back. “I have to protect you at all cost,” she said, her voice coming in soft murmurs. “If we can get the dagger out, we can easily break free from these cuffs.” “But my hands are bound. How can I pull the dagger out?” How long had it been since Corolla drugged me? Just then, a beam of what felt like sunlight projected into my partly opened eyes
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 128: The cost of love is betrayal
NARAH'S POV “You're mine.”“Am I?” “Yes, my love,” Alpha Van admitted. “Forever and always, you're mine.”The whole space was bright and white. There was nothing I could see, only whiteness stretching in every direction—endless, like our love.It was magical and pure, but then a scowl appeared on my face at the thought of a forever that might soon come to an end. So I asked, “When is this forever? You know forever does come to an end sometimes.”“Okay, how about eternity?” Alpha Van asked, pinning me to the white wall. “You're mine for eternity.”My breathing hitched as his chest pressed softly and firmly against mine, heaving with every breath we took. The touch of his hands on my skin erased all my thoughts and left my brain as blank as the space we were in. “Eternity sounds even better,” I said, my gaze flicking between his eyes and lips.“I'll love you for eternity,” he said. I stared blankly at him, my heart racing. Quietly, and in a swift motion, his hands moved from my wa
