Author's POV

Damian's fingers tightened around the phone, his knuckles almost turning white. He had just set his eyes on something unexpected, something that is enough to change everything completely. Silence fell over the room as he took in the message, the gaze of the Elders fixed on their Alpha expecting him to speak..

"Elara...." He whispered, the air in his throat had vanished, his hands trembling slightly.

Elara's heart slammed against her ribs. This is over. He must have found Gomez's message. She had been caught red-handed and there was no escape route. But then, his next words caught her off guard.

"Your father is awake?"

Relief flooded her, but she didn't show it as she quickly answered. "Yes. He woke up this morning. Mother sent me a message."

Murmurs rippled through the room and the Elders exchanged knowing glances. Their expression shifted from suspicion into relief. Elder Seraphina lips even curled up into a small smile.

"Thank Moon Goddess," Elder Seraphina said, her vo

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 37

    Damian's POV I blinked repeatedly to be sure it was Lyra that stood in front of me and not some devil incarnate from the pit of hell. Kill the former Alpha? Elena's father? And even if it was part of my plans, he was once like a father to me in the past—a father-in-law. I shook my head, staring at her to confirm if this was the same fragile and kind woman that we grew up in the Rogue kingdom together, but unfortunately she was the one. She stood staring at me like she had just said the most natural thing in the world.Lyra. The woman I know was kind. While I was taken in by the Rogue king after my parent's death, I shut everyone out of my life. She was the only girl who would come everyday and offer me her toys to play with, her snacks to share with me, even though I would slap them off her hands and snap at her to stay away from me.But she never did. Her kindness and unrelenting effort pulled me out of my darkness. We grew up being there for eachother, our wolves running the clear

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 38

    Author's POV "I can't believe those bastards failed," Kael seethed as he paced the hotel room restlessly. "There were five of them. Yet they couldn't defeat just one man."Lyra lounged on the bed, a glass of wine in her hand, as she glanced up at him. "You said they were the best in the country. How come they failed after all the money we paid?"Kael let out a dark chuckle, turning towards her. "How would I know they were up to no good," he snapped. "Get another money. I need to hire another assassin again."Lyra face twisted with shock. She couldn't believe her ears. After giving him all her life savings that she had been getting from Damian, he still wanted her to get more. "I don't have any money.""What did you say?" He stepped closer, his face twisted with fury. "I don't care. Get the money. Fuck Damian or anyone else. Just get the money. We need to get rid of Damian and seize the throne before that old hag returns."His words pierced Lyra heart. Fuck Damian or anyone else? He d

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 1

    Elara's POV I sat quietly in the doctor's office, the pungent smell of antiseptic filling my nostrils as I cradled my trembling hands in my lap. The world felt unsteady beneath me. My mind replayed the doctor's grim word on a loop: "If you carry the baby to term, you won't survive and if you terminate the pregnancy there is a chance we can treat cancer."A chance. Not even a guarantee.I wanted to scream, cry — anything to expel the confusion and despair suffocating me. How could I choose between the fragile life growing inside me and my own survival? How could I? Just last week, my husband, Damian and I had hoped that the test results would come out positive. We have laughed, dreamed and planned a whole lot ahead for our future and that of the baby. But this? I have never imagined it would come to this.My trembling hands hovered around my phone as I debated calling Damian . When the call connected, I froze. How could I tell him that the baby we've hoped for, waited for —or myself

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 2

    Elara's POV Damian's smirk widened as he relished every bit of my outrage. "Are you trying to make me suffer?" Damian sneered. "Wrong choice. You’re just as stupid as your father.”My heart tightened as his words hung in the air. "How dare you insult my family," I hissed. "They accepted you, believed in you and gave you the chance to run a company. You ungrateful little rat, hiding your true identity like a coward. Who are you, really?”I met Damian at a high-profile gala four years ago. He was a Rogue. No pack. No family. While I was the Alpha's daughter. I was drawn to his charm, wit, and resilience—qualities that set him apart from the privileged men in my social circle. We started as friends, but our bond soon grew into something deeper. Despite my family’s initial objections, they eventually accepted him. My father, impressed by Damian’s knack for identifying business opportunities and negotiating deals, offered him a partnership in our family businessBut here he was, biting

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 3

    Elara's POV The tension in the hospital room was palpable as Damian's cold gaze landed on my father's pale, unconscious figure. His cruel and mocking voice sent a chill down my spine."Did you ever think about what would happen the day you killed my family? He asked, his tone devoid of any emotion.My heart stops. "What are you talking about? My father would do no such thing."Damian's lips twisted into a cruel smirk. "You really don't know, do you? The Alpha you admire so much is no saint. He crushed so many lives to build his empire. My family was collateral damage."Before I could respond, mother lunged, throwing a kick towards Damian , her face contorted with rage. "You are lying," she screamed, but Damian's bodyguard restrained her with practiced ease."Save you theractics," Damian sneered. "If you want your precious husband to survive, you'll do exactly as I say."He turned to me and threw a stack of paper onto the bedside table. "This is your only chance, Elara. Read it carefu

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   CHAPTER 4

    Elara's POVThe mansion was eerily quiet, save for the occasional distant footsteps of guards patrolling the halls. I sat on the massive bed, staring at the ornate ceiling. Despite its grandeur, the place felt suffocating, like a beautifully crafted cage. My hand instinctively wrapped around my stomach, a small comfort against the storm brewing inside me.But when I remembered the doctor's words, my heart sank. My health is failing. I could feel it in the constant headache throbbing my head. And soon, Damain would soon find out that I was pregnant. I don't know how he was going to accept the news yet, but I'm determined to protect my baby from that bastard.The reality of my situation hit me harder than ever —I was alone. My mother's tear-streaked face haunted my thoughts, and I wondered if my father was even awake yet. Was he in pain? Was he fighting for his life? Did he even know that my life had gotten harder, just because I loved and married the wrong man.I squeezed my eyes shut,

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   CHAPTER 5

    Elara's POV I stared at him, swallowing hard, my body betraying me with every breath.Damain chuckled, dark and knowing. "And no matter how much you fight me..." He leaned in, his tongue grazing my pulse."....your body will always betray you."I hated that he was right. I hated myself even more for knowing it. A satisfied smirk plastered on his face, his eyes lingering on me longer than necessary."Damian."Lyra's voice cut through the tension, light but laced suspicion. I turned to see her striding towards us, her face masked with barely restrained fury. Kael, Damain’s best friend, was beside her, his presence only worsening the sick feeling in my gut.Kael's sharp gaze scanned me before turning to Damian. "Congratulations, Damian. You did it," he said, as he extended a handshake towards Damian.Seriously? I had known that Kael was up to no good. We've never gotten along in the past, but I didn't realise he was such an asshole. So, he knew about Damain's schemes to steal my family

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 6

    Elara's POV I walked away from them without another glance, my head held high despite the turmoil swirling in my chest. My steps were steady, but beneath my skin, anger burned, hot and unforgiving.Damain!!! That insufferable bastard! Look at the humiliation he had subjected me to. Kael? Kael of all people dare talk to me in such a condescending manner. Well it wasn't his fault though. If I take back everything that Damain has taken from me, Kael and Lyra would definitely be the first people I'd settle scores with.As I moved through the corridors, I felt the Pack's eyes on me. Low doubtful and suspicious whispers drifted through air."This takeover happened so fast," someone muttered."I don't trust it," another chipped in. "Elena was supposed to lead after her father. How did Damain take control so suddenly?""Isn't that how it works since he's her mate?""Maybe. But still... something doesn't feel right."I kept my expression neutral, but every word made me feel a surge of happin

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 35

    Elara's POVThe other Elders nodded in agreement, murmurs rippling through them.My gaze fell on kael and this time his smirk has completely disappeared, replaced by anger. Elder Seraphina had just put him in his place. What a shock.Then I shifted towards Damian, who had a flicker of doubt in his eyes. Damian was foolish. After everything I had done for me, even if I did try to kill, I hadn't expected him to believe so easily."Its true," Elder Gregory chipped in. "The Luna has been nothing but supportive. We must be careful while dealing with a matter as delicate as this." I heaved in relief, letting myself relax for a bit. Doubts. It was growing in the mind of the Elders. And they didn't know that everything I have been doing was an act I had to put on to save my father, the real Alpha.I stepped closer to Damian, whispering loud enough for only him to hear. "Convenient, isn’t it?" I pressed. "The moment you get attacked, someone suddenly accuses me of plotting your murder?" Becaus

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   CHAPTER 34

    Elara's POV Damian's words rang in my ears like a bad music on a loop, taking away all the happiness I had felt minutes ago from mother's news about father's health. My body stiffened, my heart pounded as I stared at him, confused and shocked."Why did you try to kill me, Elara."The world around me tilted for a moment, but I forced myself to remain calm. I, Elara? Kill him? Where did he get the nonsense from?I turned towards the seated Elders, hoping that Elder Seraphina and Elder Gregor who had watched me since I was a child and capable of what I could do, would stand up and counter Damian's nonsense but they didn't—their eyes was filled with a mix of curiosity and doubt. The silence was suffocating, pressing against my chest.I opened my mouth, and surprisingly my voice was steady. "What did you just say?"Damian's gaze was cold, filled with unrestrained fury. "Don't play dumb, Elara," he spat. "I know everything."Everything? What the hell did he mean? Did he know I wanted to kil

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 33

    Author's POV Damian's face twisted as he stared at Kael, his heart pounding. Kael sounded so sure—he can't be teasing him. But he was afraid to ask for Kael's evidence. What if it was true? What if the woman he was still holding onto actually wanted him dead?Kael smiled inwardly. Yes. He got him. He had never expected that after everything, Damian would still be holding onto Elara, which was ruining their plan.The plan was simple. Kael's father, the Rogue king raised Damian and pretended to be in full support of him, but what Damian didn't know was that the Rogue king actually wants the throne for his son, Kael. His plan was for Damian to take Lyra as his Luna, then eliminate him and Lyra will pass the throne to her mate, Kael.Lyra and Kael have always been entangled with each other but Damian was too blind to see it.Finally Damian opened his mouth and asked, "What evidence do you have?" Kael dropped the kit carefully, his tone smooth and highly manipulative. "I know you might no

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 32

    Damian's POV Since I became the Alpha of the Cadman Pack, I had barely had time to let my wolf, Storm and go on a run, and he had been snapping at me in frustration because of his confinement and also for the way I treated our mate—Elara. So, this morning I decided to let him ran as much as he wanted, maybe that way I'd be able to clear my head. Alone, I made my way to the forest and without wasting time, I shifted into my wolf form, my paws echoing against the floor as I ran around the clearing. The morning air should have been refreshing, giving my wolf the freedom he longs for, but it did absolutely nothing to stop the raging storm inside me.Elara.I couldn't sleep all through the night because I was thinking of her, worried about her.Even I had failed to acknowledge it, I had noticed for sometime now that the strong, fiery and unyielding woman I know was gradually disappearing or maybe she was losing herself. She had gotten more pale, her body always trembling with fear and exh

  • I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON   Chapter 31

    Damian's POVShe hesistated but eventually obeyed. I walked toward my drawer, pulling out a small bottle of pills that I had gotten from the infirmary earlier, and a glass of water: the doctor had told me she had a severe headache so I ordered a very experienced healer to prepare a potent pill for headache. When I turned back to her, she was staring at me, suspicion laced in her gaze.Fuck! Did She think I would stoop so low and poison. C'mon, I may be an asshole who took back everything that truly belonged to my family, but I'm not that heartless. Besides, I already have the upper hand and resorting to poison was cowardice."What's this?" She asked, eyeing the medication in my hand.I placed the pills in her palm, crossing my arms. "Medicine. You've been sick. You need to take this."She scoffed, attempting to push the pills back at me. “Why should I trust that this isn't poisoned?" She said, and her distrust made my heart twist painfully. "And besides I don’t need it. I’ll be fine.”

    Elara's POV How was that even possible? His presence loomed over me and yet I couldn't perceive the scent of the man I despised the most. A werewolf's sense of smell was one of the strongest, and yet I was losing that too.No.I squeezed my eyes shut, my nails digging into the blanket as if that could erase the reality playing out before me."Elara," Damian's voice was annoyingly soft. "Are you feeling better now?"His hands reached out, moving towards my forehead but before he could touch me, I slapped his hand away with as much strength as I have left. "Don't," I snapped, my voice sharp. "Don't you dare touch me with those filthy hands. It's not your fucking business."His jaw tightened, but his expression still remained. "You collapsed, Elara. I have every right to be worried about you."I scoffed. "Worried? No, you aren't. You can fool everyone else but not me. You worry because you need me alive to serve your purpose."I saw something unreadable in his eyes. Guilt? Annoyance, may
