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

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

NARAH'S POV Before I got out of Alpha Van's room, I made sure he was already laying in bed as he had promised me that he would get some rest I wasn't able to confess my newfound feelings for him, nor was he able to confess to me. But that was okay. I just hoped that someday I'd be able to.As I walked down the hallway, I noticed Gina emerging from her room. My attention was drawn to a small brown paper bag that she quickly hid behind her as she noticed me approaching. What was she trying to keep secret?She offered a nervous smile, turning slightly as I passed, maintaining eye contact while her hand remained behind her back, hiding the paper bag.I greeted her and continued to pass by, then she called out my name.“Narah,” her voice dripping with an unsettling sweetness. I really wasn't expecting anything less. I rolled my eyes and turned, giving her a fake grin.“What do you want?” I asked tiredly, instead she smiled even more.“How's my husband doing?” Husband? I had almost forg

NARAH'S POV As we walked towards the shopping district, Vanessa briefed me on the specifics of what she needed to purchase for the upcoming event.I listened intently, making mental notes as she and James discussed everything from decorations to catering.Despite the busy nature of our task, Vanessa’s cheerful attitude was somewhat uplifting. She chatted about her experiences with high-profile events, offering me brief glimpses of a world far removed from her own current struggles.My mind wandered as we shopped. I couldn’t shake the image of Luna Tauriel’s troubled face if we dared get what she hated.Hours later, with our shopping complete, Vanessa thanked me for my help and wished me well. James and I got a taxi and returned to the mansion with the bags. We barely had time to drop them off before I was called to help prepare for a small dinner gathering Luna Tauriel was hosting. The evening’s tasks seemed endless.As the day wore on, exhaustion took its toll. I managed to complete

NARAH'S POV After finishing my dinner, I stepped outside the mansion, feeling the cool air on my hair and skin, but I couldn't escape the sense that Gina's anger was about to catch up with me at any moment.I shrugged off my concerns, trying to muster some semblance of confidence, and headed towards the small garden where the family was gathered.The garden, encircled by a vibrant array of flowers, had a distinct atmosphere. Unlike the building, which was filled with artificial scents, the garden was permeated with the natural fragrance of sweet flowers and freshly cut grass.It was decorated with stunning yellow lanterns that illuminated the path from the steep stairs and around every corner.Luna Tauriel and Gina were sitting together, enjoying drinks and laughter, while Alpha Van was accompanied by Beta Henry.As soon as I entered the scene, Alpha Van's gaze met mine, and he gave a small smile, directing his full attention to me. Noticing this shift in focus, Beta Henry, who had b
Last Updated : 2024-08-29Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 28: The Unseen threats
GINA'S POV My eyes burned with rage, but I tried my best to keep it at bay. I glanced at the exquisite colours of the wallpaper that covered the walls and inhaled the fresh scent of roses and strawberry mist that filled the air.The elegance of her room's decor stood in stark contrast to the chaos and messiness of my own life at the moment.My mother stood near the large closet, her back against it. Absent-mindedly, her thin fingers ran through her dark, curly mane that was tucked behind one ear while the other fell over one side of her slim face.I was pacing the room, shifting my gaze from one corner to another, struggling to still contain my anger. I understood my father had a plan, but this? I definitely wasn't expecting it to be so dangerous.“Why did Father have to do that?” I demanded on the verge of tears. “I almost lost Van!”My mother clicked her tongue and scowled. “You don't love him, so why do you even care about him at all?”“I don't care about him personally, but he’s

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
