Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 28 - My true lineage ...
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

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

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

LyraWe are woken in the early hours of the morning and I can’t help but giggle when the ladies basically chase Silas out of his own room. His very masculine room is turned into a beauty salon within minutes and our day starts with snacks and champagne.I get apple juice and a lot of reprimanding for not telling them sooner. While my hair and make-up are being done, the ladies start planning what they call the next big event for the pack. My baby shower. I take a moment to just watch them, and it is such a long way away from the life I had with Eli.Every now and again, one of them disappears and when they return, we are all informed of who has arrived. Our guests have a special floor and the ladies want to make sure that everyone is happy and taken care of before the event this afternoon.Time really flies and before long, I’m being helped into my dress. There are “oohs” and “aahs” and then the time has come for me to make my walk down the aisle. I watch as all of them rush out to ta

LyraSadly, our peace doesn’t last long. A week after the mating ceremony, the attacks start. I want to know how many of them were at the mating ceremony. I want to know how many of them shared that beautiful day with us, only to turn around and try to kill us.In the meantime, I also wanted to find out about my kind and my past. Since attacks only happen at night, I’m confident that I can take time during the day to visit Helena. Now that I know as much as there is to know about my parents, I need to find out who this mysterious enemy is.I have to protect not only the three of us, but also the werewolves from this threat. My belly grows by the day, which makes it difficult to move, and even more so to shift and go on pack runs, but I push through. Silas and I have not been as in love as we are right now.The months tick by, and the attacks keep coming. Thankfully, Silas is incredible when it comes to fighting, and I don’t feel the need to rush out and fight again. As the baby grows,

LyraI can feel Silas’s fury and I instantly know who is causing it. Getting out of bed, I feel some pain, but not much. I tuck my son closely to my chest and make my way in the direction that my body leads me. Dressed in only a gown.All eyes turn to me the moment I come closer, and I can see Silas panic, but I keep going. I come to a standstill beside Silas, and he pulls me under his arm. The warriors want to circle around us and I stop them.“What do you want, Eli?” I growl. I know I probably shouldn’t have done this, but I want him gone. I want him out of our lives for good. My instincts told me he wants to see the baby for himself. His eyes scan the boy and then Silas and his face becomes bright red.There is nothing more to say. It’s not his son. There is nothing for him to claim. He already knew about my one-night with Silas. Eli whips around and storms off, shifting halfway, and I smile at Silas.“I have never met a female that can silence a male like that before.” Silas laugh

LyraAfter breakfast, Silas has an important meeting, and I show Helena and her grandfather around the pack house. We find an empty storeroom and I wonder if we would be able to convert it into a library. I don’t like going to the graveyard to get books.At least, for now. It’s not safe for any of us to be out in the world while there is a threat we don’t know anything about. Then there is also Eli to consider. I can’t leave Hunter with the pack and go off to do some research.“Hi, beautiful. What are you up to?” Silas joins us a little later in my office and I sigh deeply.“We’re trying to figure out where we can go with all of this.” I point at the piles of books on my desk. Silas laughs and stands beside me.“You have a library. I’m sure we can make it work.” His smile turns to a frown when he sees my face. Helena and I take turns to explain and by the time we are done, he is nodding. “Okay, so the way I see it, the graveyard is your territory, right?” He frowns at Helena and she n

Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 111 - Alpha Noah's son!
EsmeLunar and Summer are the light of my life. Lunar just doesn’t want a mate, which kind of drives me a little insane. He is the heir. He should have a mate and procreate.“The boy is still young, my love. His opinions will change as he grows older. Give him time.” Gabriel comes to his son’s defense. “Males are usually a little older than their mates.” Gabriel always distracts me as he pulls me into his arms and my darling Lunar escapes the conversation.Summer, on the other hand, planned for her mating ceremony from the moment she could walk. Everything was planned to the last detail before she even turned sixteen. Summer has a thick file that contains everything she wants for the day, and it is literally growing by the day.“You do realize that this is not going to be a human wedding, my dear?” I sigh each time she shows me what else she found. Summer would just roll her eyes at me, and continue. All Gabriel has to say about our daughter’s flights of fancy is that she has to remem
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
