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 22: Silence of the wolves
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
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 23: The hunt
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!"
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 24: Love
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 25: Chores
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
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 26: Becoming fast friends
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
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 27: The garden
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
Broken 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 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
