Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 63: The council’s decision
NARAH'S POVHow could Liora come to the mansion? She should know she'd be in danger if she dared to show her face here. I didn’t think she’d be reckless enough to leave Chris’s place.The guards began to roam the room, scanning for anyone suspicious. I was certain Liora had masked her witch’s aura whenever she came to town just like Chris had been doing, but anxiety gnawed at me. What if she hadn’t?The compass in Jeremiah's hand must be guiding him to where Liora should be in the hall. My heart pounded as I navigated through the nervous crowd, inspecting their anxious faces for a glimpse of her.Jeremiah moved through the gathering, his gaze sharp as a hawk hunting for a doomed prey. “Remain silent!” a guard barked, striking a pack member on the back.“Be still. No one moves. Stay where you are,” Jeremiah commanded, his voice resonating in the tensed hall.A hush fell over the room, amplifying the sound of my heartbeat. I edged closer to the front row, hiding behind a few pack membe

NARAH'S POV As Chris and I stepped outside the estate, my heart pounded in my chest. Did Bryan actually know something, or was he just being suspicious of me? The weight of his probing questions lingered in my mind, gnawing at my nerves.“I’m glad you’re okay,” Chris said, glancing at me with that familiar intensity that made my heart race. “I was worried.”“Thanks, Chris. I appreciate it,” I replied, trying to steady my voice. Yet, the tension from the council meeting felt suffocating, tightening around me like a noose.We reached his car, and Chris leaned against it, his expression shifting to something more serious. “Narah, I found Liora.”My breath hitched. “What? Where is she?”“She’s at my place. She told me she went out to get some fresh air in the woods.”Relief washed over me, quickly followed by a wave of concern. “Is she safe? Does she know about the council meeting today?”What was I thinking? How would she know? Even I didn't know about the meeting until Cindy told me ab

NARAH'S POV Mate?Did he just call me that?I stood in stunned silence, trying to process Alpha Zander’s unexpected declaration. I heard Cindy gasp and it brought me out of my head and back into—I didn't know if I should call it reality because it was so freaking hard to believe at that moment.Zander’s piercing gaze felt like a magnetic pull, tugging at something deep within me.“Mate,” he repeated, his voice low and confident, the smirk still lingering on his lips.The word sent a shockwave through me, a mix of exhilaration and fear. The scent from him—could that be me sensing a mate bond, but too busy to notice?“Wait,” I finally managed to say, shaking my head slightly to regain my composure. “Who are you?”Like I didn't already know his name.Zander’s expression shifted to one of intrigue. “Zander Cage. I'm surprised you don't know.”I definitely wouldn't have known that if it weren't for a girl in the hall who had gossiped about it to me. Cindy cleared her throat and asked to b

ALPHA VAN'S POV My mood was sour throughout the entire day after seeing the woman that I loved with another man—not just another man, but Zander. Zander, for crying out loud. We had a history that I would rather not talk about. I knew there were things I never spoke of. My father was one of those things I had shoved on a shelf and locked up. Dead as he was, he was dead to me before he even died.My mother was another because I didn't like to remember anything that concerned her. Even though she still walked the earth freely and breathed air, she was long dead and forgotten, just like she forgot about having children. I paced around my office, the sharp scent of leather mingling with the stale air. The tension in my chest felt like a weight, pressing down with every step sharper and more painful than the last.With a surge of rage, I slammed my hands across the table, scattering the files onto the cold floor. The papers floated momentarily, catching the dim light before drifting dow

NARAH’S POVThe soft glow of the morning light filtered through my window, and slowly, I opened my eyes and thought, was it a dream?I opened my eyes wide when the realisation hit me—it wasn't a dream. No, it really wasn't a dream.I hurriedly sat up, searching my body for marks. I knew Alpha Van had been in my room last night; his scent still lingered in here and on me. That's how I knew. And gosh! The throbbing in between my legs.“What have I done?” I cried in a soft voice, my heart racing as my mind replayed the events of last night.“He marked me,” I whispered under my breath, not completely stunned as my fingers ran over the bite behind my left shoulder.I had let Alpha Van mark and claim me. I wasn't so completely different from Gina now, was I? A tear rolled from my eyes. Why did something so beautiful hurt?Was it the fact that he wasn't mine and I had given him this chance despite what had transpired between us in the past?Or was it the fact that I was actually in love wit

GINA'S POV “What was Narah talking about you killing your sister?” Van asked, slamming the door behind us, the sound bouncing off the walls in my room like thunderclap. “I don't know what she was talking about. She was falsely accusing me of something she didn't even know. She just wanted to provoke me.” “To provoke you by accusing you of murder? Of all things, Gina, MURDER!” His voice echoed as he punched the wall behind me with a great thud, almost grazing my face. I quivered beneath him. “Does that even make sense to you, Gina?” he continued. I pushed him off and started to pace back and forth, replaying the scene from the living room. How the f**k did that serving b**ch know about Reina. How did she know that I murdered her? I'd never spoken about it with anyone and besides, Narah wasn't born in Vaelothor. She's from another town, so how did she know? The night of Reina's Lunar bonding flashed through my mind. I bit my lower lip, trying to keep calm. Yes, I murdered her
Last Updated : 2024-10-09Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 69: A leap of faith to new beginnings
NARAH'S POV The sun reflected the gold in Zander's hair, casting away the shadows, and his smile radiated as his eyes sparkled like diamonds. He seemed so energetic, and I didn't want to spoil his mood with my gloom, so I faked a smile. Was he always this lively? Zander was wearing a white T-shirt and black denim trousers. His shiny black shoes completed the look perfectly. God! He looked dashing from every angle, and he smelled great too. He helped me pull out a chair and ushered me to sit like a gentleman before sitting down himself when we arrived at the café. I gulped hard as he took off his black leather jacket, revealing his muscular arms. “Are you good?” He asked. “Yes, thank you. I appreciate that you agreed to see me. Thank you so much,” I responded. And thank the heavens that you had arrived in time to pick me up. It would have been embarrassing had I walked all the way to the gate, I thought, but didn't say it. “Babe, I'm all yours, and you're the reason

GINA'S POV The café buzzed with chatter and the rich aroma of fresh coffee enveloped me, but I barely registered it as I slipped through the front door. I was here at that bastard's beck and call, just like every other time, caught in the web of my past choices. He had called at the wrong moment, and suddenly, I was reminded of everything I’d tried to bury. If only I hadn't been so f**king careless eighteen years ago, Arthur wouldn’t have known about Reina's death or Van's enchantment. Just because he had attached himself to me like a leech, sucking me dry for years, he was able to discover my affair with Liam as well. Arthur knew basically everything that could implicate me. He held the threads of my life in his hands; he knew about my involvement in the dark choices I had made. He knew I had enchanted Van to reject Reina and choose me as his wife and Luna. He knew I had poisoned her before the Lunar bonding ceremony so I could take her place. (Flashback) (Eighteen

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
