Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 24 - Finding out who I could be.
LyraI wake up feeling much better and instantly note an arm around me. As I carefully turn around, I’m not surprised to find Silas fast asleep. I take a moment to just study his face and I feel the passion I felt on that very first night.I don’t know if this is the mate bond or what I’m feeling, but I’m definitely feeling something. And whatever it is, it is strong. He stirs, but I don’t move and when he opens his eyes, he smiles at me and I feel as if I’m melting into a damn puddle.“Good morning, beautiful. How are you feeling? How did you sleep?” He sits up and frowns at me.“Good morning. I’m good. I feel good. I slept good. How about you?” I grin, wondering if good was going to be my word for the day. I really do feel good.“Well, much better now that you are awake. Do you feel up to telling me what happened?” He frowns as the omega knocks and enters the room without waiting for an answer. She looks shocked to see Silas in bed with me and disappears just as fast as she walked i

LyraMy mind keeps drifting to how close we’ve become while I stand there blinking at Silas. He kisses my cheek and wishes me a good night before walking down the passage to his room. I walk in to find my omega ready and waiting and before long, I’m curled up in bed.It’s all still so overwhelming. I was still processing what Eli did when I slept with Silas. Everything since then has happened so fast, it almost feels unreal. I drift off to sleep with the image of Silas in my mind and my dreams are full of things we do together.I wake up with a start in the middle of the night shouting his name after a horrible nightmare and within seconds he is beside me. Silas whispers calming words as I try to catch my breath. I realize that I didn’t shift, which is a good thing. I might just have destroyed the beautiful bedding if I did.“Did you have a bad dream?” Silas frowns as he wipes the tears from my cheeks and I nod. He pulls me into his arms just as the omega comes running with some tea a

Lyra“It’s going to be okay.” Silas moves fast and pulls me out of my chair and into his arms. He breathes in my scent and I feel the warmth of his chest radiate against my skin. He whispers sweet words that calm me while his hand strokes my hair.I believe him. I believe that even though Eli is threatening not just me, but Silas’s pack, it is going to be okay. Silas just has that confidence about him. Silas lets me go just enough to look into my eyes, and he strokes my chin softly.“You are stronger than you realize, beautiful. You also have me and the entire pack behind you. You are no longer alone.” His words mean more than I can say and when his lips touch mine, I respond. His kiss is soft and loving and when we break apart, it feels as if I’ve lost something.“Come on. I think you need to try to shift again.” He smiles, but I just look at him with wide eyes.“I can’t remember how I did it.” I sigh, but he takes my hand and leads me outside. We walk all the way to the edge of the

Lyra“Will you both shut up!” I shift back to my human form and ignore the fact that I’m naked as I glare at my ex-husband and my new lover. “The only person who can make a decision about my life is me!” I growl and they both take a step back.I feel the power surge through my body, and I’m not entirely sure where it comes from. I don’t focus on it as I glare at the two men in front of me. Eli dares to take a step forward, but when he takes my hand, I rip it away.“Don’t!” I growl. “You’ve lost whatever hold you had on me the moment you decided to betray me!”“She meant nothing! I told you.” Eli whines, and it’s the first time it really bugs me.“She meant so little that you moved her right back in after I left.” I close the gap between us and growl, forcing him to take a step back. “I’m done with you, Eli! Get that through your thick skull. I don’t need your damn permission to join Silas’s pack. I am a Lycan. I don’t need anyone’s permission to do anything. Now get out of here before

Lyra“Silas, I want to know everything about my kind. I want to know everything about my parents. I know we probably won’t get all the details, but I have to know.” I know that he can see the determination in my eyes because he nods without hesitation.It takes almost three weeks to finally stumble onto something. I am beginning to lose hope when Silas ends a call with one of his connections, and he smiles at me like the cat that just stole the cream.“What?” I feel a little unsettled. We’ve grown closer by the day and that smile usually means he wants something. Something I’ve been a bit hesitant about doing lately since I’m concerned about how it might affect my pregnancy.Strangely enough, I am not concerned about shifting …“We have a lead on your parents.” Silas beams, pulling me right out of my ridiculous line of thinking. I gawk as he explains that, according to his source, both my parents are dead but that they are buried nearby.“Are you sure it’s them?” My voice is barely a
Last Updated : 2025-03-02Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 29 - The hunt begins.
LyraHelena takes us to a back room and my jaw drops. As we walk into the library, I’m shocked. The walls are covered in shelves filled with books. There are rows upon rows of cabinets on one side of the room and the other side has desks and chairs with small desk lamps.“The books have our history. The complete history that nobody else has. The cabinets have the files of each Lycan that ever lived. Which reminds me. I need to add your son.” Helena explains. I gawk as we make our way to the very last cupboard, and she pulls out three files.When we take a seat at one of the tables, I feel a huge knot start to form in the back of my throat when I open the first file and see a photograph of my parents with a baby in their arms. I just blink at it for a moment before I look at the next page.It’s so quiet that the silence is almost deafening, but I keep going while Helena and Silas watch me. After a couple of minutes, Helena disappears and a short while later, she reappears with some cof
Last Updated : 2025-03-03Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 30 - Heart of the hunt.
LyraEach shift happens easier. Silas takes the lead and I follow with the pack behind us in rank order. It feels good to be out in the night air. The stars are bright. The dirt is soft under my paws, and a soft wind blows through my fur.The pack slowly breaks off piece by piece as they find tracks and, before long, Silas turns, and I follow him again. Only when we are staring down an animal in a clearing do I realize what they were doing. Silas looks at me only for a moment before he sprints forward.There is total chaos for only a second as the buck tries to get away, but Silas quickly takes him down. As soon as its heartbeat disappears. Silas steps back and looks at me. I’m confused. He takes a bite before looking at me again, and I get it.I’m not sure if I will be able to do it, but I walk closer and the strong scent of blood fills my nose. Instantly, I lean forward and take a bite and it’s delicious. It’s weird, but it’s delicious, and I’m not nauseous at all.I eat my fill, fo
Last Updated : 2025-03-03Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 31 - I'm free! I'm free from Eli!
LyraThings between me and Silas are just perfect. It has been a couple of weeks since I moved into our room, and I’m actually in love with the guy. I’ve also made some friends with some of the high-ranking ladies. We get together once a week to discuss things the pack needs, and then we just gossip.I have almost forgotten that Eli still has to give permission for me to move to Silas’s pack. When Silas finds me in my office trying to make sense of one of the orders, I have to get out for pack supplies.“We got it.” He grins and I frown.“Got what exactly?” In my mind, I no longer care whether we get his permission or not. I am a Lycan. The only living royal Lycan. I don’t need anyone’s permission to do anything.“Your transfer papers. Eli signed them.” Silas is leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed over his taunt chest and his legs crossed at his ankles. He is looking relaxed, but his body is showing the strain.“Oh? Is that good news?” I try not to smile. I’ve been te

Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 110 - An amazing start of two new lives.
EsmeOver the coming weeks, the gossip about Jason and Camile eventually die down as life at the pack house becomes very busy. It’s Gabriel’s birthday soon, and I want to have a huge party and invite everyone. Literally everyone.My hope is that a celebration will pull everyone out of the slump we’ve all seemed to be in. It’s very rarely that a one pack member kills another, which has kind of forced a dark cloud of depression over our entire county.Gabriel’s birthday finally arrives and everyone seems to be having a good time. I can literally feel the doom and gloom lift as the evening continues and even Gabriel, who very rarely smiles when others are around, is laughing.His birthday party is exactly what we all need, and I can feel it in the air. Once his birthday is over, however, I feel a little lost. There was total chaos while I was trying to arrange everything and now that I spend my time on what are my normal duties as Luna, I find myself wandering around the house aimlessly
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 109 - A sad ending to two sad lives.
EsmeOver the coming days, there is a lot of back and forth of information, and it’s clear that Jason killed Camile. The only question that nobody seems to be able to answer is why. They didn’t have the perfect friendship, but I just couldn’t see why Jason thought killing Camile would solve anything.The day the trial starts, the square at my old pack house is packed with people wanting to find out what happened. I hear people whispering, and it seems everyone believes that Jason is guilty. It still astounds me that nobody is asking why.I listen to the court case, which is pretty straightforward, and I watch as the video footage they got from us is played. The entire time, Jason keeps his head low and I have to admit, although not out loud, that I’m surprised.He was never the kind of guy to just keep quiet when he was accused of anything. After two days, the trial is over and my cousin announces that he will have his final decision about Jason’s fate in a couple of days.People disp
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 108 - A horrific morning after ...
EsmeMom and I are in my office discussing my ideas when Gabriel and my dad walk in looking very grim. I frown, tilting my head to one side and wondering what on earth could have gone wrong so early.“Esme, we have some bad news.” Gabriel sighs and then looks at my dad before they sit down in my little lounge area in my office.“Camile is dead, honey.” My dad sounds hesitant, and I just stand there gaping at them like a fish out of water for a moment. “Jason has been arrested.” Shock runs through my body, but deep down, I kind of expected that last part.I sit down beside my mom feeling dizziness suddenly hit. I might not have been that close to them in recent months, but for a long time, they were the only friends I had. I just process what I have been told while my dad gives me the gory details they just heard from my uncle.“We don’t have to go to the funeral if you don’t want to go.” Gabriel sighs when my dad is done, and I just sit there in shock. Mom hands me a drink and I reali
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 107 - A beautiful night ...
EsmeWe do the rounds and spend just enough time with each group so that nobody will feel left out. The only group I have a problem with is my old friends. The first thing I notice is that Camile isn’t there. I’m not sure if she decided not to come to the ceremony, or if she just isn’t there right now.“We can’t avoid them, my love, but I can make an excuse for you if you like.” Gabriel pulls me closer and kisses my cheek.“No, I want all of them to see how happy I am.” I look into his eyes and smile before we make our way over to the group of people my age. At first, everything is incredibly uncomfortable, but Gabriel has this way of just making people feel comfortable.The only one that doesn’t seem to relax is Jason. He keeps glaring at Gabriel, and I just know that is never going to change. Jason will just have to accept that his mate is a lower-ranked wolf. We don’t stay as long as we did with the other groups and I breathe a sigh of relief as soon as we are away from all of them
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 106 - Mated.
EsmeThe day of the ceremony isn’t any better! I’m woken in the early hours of the morning and the omegas quickly start to move my things to my new bedroom. I’m a little disappointed when I walk into our room and I can smell that Gabriel had been there just moments ago.It smells of soap and I know he has taken a shower. I really want to see him before the ceremony. I need to see him, but my mom keeps telling me that it’s bad luck. My anxiety slowly builds as the day is spent on waxing and whatever is needed to make me look pretty.Right before I put on my dress, I’m completely freaking out, and I lock myself in the bathroom. My mind is all over the place. I know I want to be with Gabriel. I don’t understand the anxiety all of a sudden. I am sitting on the floor when I hear his footsteps coming closer.“Esme, it’s me.” He softly knocks on the door and I can feel it. The floor was cold, and I hoped that sitting on it would just calm my anxiety a little. I lean against the door and try
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 105 - The enormous mansion!
Esme“But this house is too big for two people? Where does everyone else stay?” I feel incredibly confused as he climbs the stairs with me in his arms. He stops before the door and looks into my eyes.“It’s big enough for our family. Now, will you give me a moment to welcome you to your new home before the pack arrives.” He grins and I nod. I have a lot of questions, but they can wait for now. He steps over the threshold and I burst out laughing.“Welcome home, my love.” He kisses my forehead and I slowly turn around. I gasp at the sight of it. The house is filled with what looks like only the best. The enormous grand staircase is clearly the centerpiece in the foyer.I note as Gabriel takes me on a tour that the materials used to make the furniture wasn’t cheap. The chairs look like they have been handcrafted out of wood. The cushions are covered in thick lush velvets and the curtains draped in front of the windows look heavy.The bottom floor consists out of the kitchen, a dining ro
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 104 - The big move.
Esme“Mom, are you okay with all of this?” I put some of the living room things down on the coffee table while she wraps them and puts them into the box.“All what, honey?” She stops wrapping and frowns at me. I sit down beside her trying to find just the right words. That is really difficult to do when you haven’t gotten along with your mother for most of your life.“Moving to a new pack. Me being mated.” I shrug, hearing the hesitation in my own voice and knowing that she is going to hear it.“Well, honey …” She sits back and studies me for only a moment. “Are you okay with all of this? That is really the big question. None of this makes sense if you aren’t okay with it.” She frowns.“Yeah, I’m okay with it.” A shy smile starts to form, and my cheeks turn bright red.“Then we are all okay with it. The time has come for your brother to take over, which means we won’t have much to do around here.” Mom shrugs and carries on wrapping. “Hey, did you get your robes for graduation yet?” Th
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 103 - Preparing for the big move.
Esme“I … Uhm …” I look from mom to dad to Gabriel, and I’m at a complete loss for words for the first time in my life. Honestly, it’s been nice to have Gabriel there, but I’ve been so focused on just trying to get through the exams that I kind of didn’t think about leaving with Gabriel.“I think we should get through graduation first before any of us make any plans to move.” Gabriel saves the day and I literally breathe a loud sigh of relief, making them all laugh at me. Later in the evening, after dinner, Gabriel and I walk out to the lake.As we get into the cool water, I think how this could be the last time I ever see this lake. I will come to the pack territory to visit my brother, but I can’t imagine us coming here to swim. My next week is going to be filled with finding a dress for graduation and all that, so I can’t see us coming out here.We swim out in silence, each trapped in our thoughts. When Gabriel closes the gap between us, I don’t even notice until he pulls me into h
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 102 - Jason isn't Camile's mate.
EsmeBefore long, the horrible written exams are over. I’ve fallen into a new routine and have even grown used to having Gabriel in my space literally all the time. He left to check on his pack a couple of times, but he has never been gone for more than two days at a time.Jason and Camile have clearly become closer, and I’ve even heard rumours that they could very well be mates. Camile’s birthday is right in the middle of our physicals, which means my uncle has limited the celebration a little.Gabriel pulls me into his embrace while we wait for Camile to make her entrance. She tried her best to outshine me, but thanks to my uncle, her party isn’t nearly as big as mine was. Camile finally makes her entrance and I shove my face into Gabriel’s chest to cover the laughter as soon as I see her.Camile is dressed in the biggest dress I’ve ever seen. She is wearing an enormous crown, and all I can think is that she doesn’t even realize how ridiculous she looks. Her dad has the hardest time
