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

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 49 - The conference.
LyraSilas helped me to set up a profile of each leader and their entourage, and we send it to Fiona so that she is kept in the loop of whom to expect and what traditions might be important. When we arrive at the bar, I get out and look at the building while taking a deep breath.I note a couple of very expensive cars, and it makes the locals wonder what might be going on. Helena and some pack members have booked into the local hotel and, according to the humans, there is a conference happening about conservation of some strange bug.I thought it would be the most inconspicuous, but now that I see some of the cars, I wonder if that was the best subject. Silas appears beside me, and we make our way inside. We are met by the waiter, and he takes us through the tunnel to the sanctuary bar.As soon as we walk in, we can feel the tension in the air. We are right on time, and it’s clear that most of our guests were early. Fiona sent out a notice to all guests informing them of the subject o
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 48 - The plan.
SilasIt breaks my heart to see her so pale. A machine is beeping behind her and there are tubes everywhere. I lean and softly kiss her forehead, almost too scared to touch her. She’s never looked this frail, and I am once again furious that I didn’t protect her.It doesn’t matter how many people tell me that it’s not my fault, I still feel responsible. I should have sent more guards with her. I shouldn’t have let her out of my sight. I rest my head on her hand on the bed and feel how cool she is.From what the doctor has told me, and the little that I saw of her, Helena is in much of a similar state. What the hell did the hunters do to them? Helena mentioned something about examinations and what I take it. She could only explain as experiments.It’s torture waiting for Lyra to wake up and tell me. My mind is going to very dark places and what’s worse is that I’m probably right about some of it. I spend the night beside her bed, and wake up when I feel something stroke my hair.“Lyra
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 47 - Rescued!
TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENCELyraI finally see my gap when the doctor speaks to my captor. After they took this venom they wanted so badly, they stepped away from my bed and left the rest of the instruments close enough for me to reach. I knew that if I just waited, they would make a mistake.I can’t run now. I grab the first thing I can get my hands on and hide it underneath my body just in time before my captor returns to the bed. He pushes me back to the room and as soon as he is gone, I pull the scalpel out from underneath me.I make quick work of my bonds and then rush to free Helena. She’s stopped crying, but I’m scared they might come back for her next. We try the door, but it won’t budge and, finally, I lift her so she can try the window.I don’t know what it is, but she finds the strength and pulls one of the bars free. We look at each other only for a second before she hits the glass with her full force. The moment it shatters, we know that we don’t have any more time.I push
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 46 - The hunters - Part 2
TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENCELyraWhen I wake up, I’m tied to something. The cold steel behind my back almost burns my skin. It takes a moment for my vision to clear, and I can hear voices somewhere in the darkness. A huge light is shining on me as I try to free myself from my restraints.My head is pounding, and I can’t see Helena anywhere. I have to find her. We have to get out of here. I hear footsteps coming closer, and I close my eyes in the hopes that they will leave me alone, but I feel someone tying something to my upper arm.“Let go of me!” I growl, making the man in the white coat jump back.“Go ahead, doctor. She can’t do anything.” I hear the voice of my captor and snap my head in that direction. He is standing to one side with his arms crossed and that damn smirk on his face.“My husband will come for me. You will die.” I growl. I don’t know if they know anything about Silas and the pack and suddenly, I realize that I just put all of them in danger by trying to scare him.“O
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 45 - The hunters.
Silas“Alpha! There’s been an accident!” The voice of one of the warriors that left early this morning with Lyra echoes through the pack link, but when I try to speak to him, there is nothing. We rush to the library, but it’s all locked up.I’m going out of my mind as we make our way back. Then something on the road’s surface catches my eye.“STOP! STOP THE CAR!” I growl and jump out as soon as we come to a stop. The scent of fuel is thick in the air the moment we get out, but there is no sign of a vehicle. As I walk closer to the spot, I note a small piece of glass.The road surface is wet. I smell the air and catch Lyra’s scent. She was there, and she was out of the car! What happened? Where is she? How on earth did they clean up the scene so quickly? There weren’t any signs of the accident when we drove past to go to the library.LyraI wake up to a pounding headache and when I touch my head, I can feel the dried blood.“Lyra, oh, thank the moon goddess.” Helena rushes to my side a
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 44 - A way forward ...
LyraSadly, what I want is still in danger from the hunters thanks to Eli. Even worse, Lisa somehow escaped during the night. I pace back and forth in my office while Silas questions the guards on duty. How she escaped is clear.One of our guards is also missing. We know he must have helped her, but we just don’t know if she killed him or took him with her. Lisa doesn’t have a pack anymore. I watched as she slowly turned rogue in our cells.You can smell the wild wolf when someone turns rogue and, although it’s a first for me, I could smell it clear as day. I’m still getting used to some of the things I’ve been able to do all my life, but never understood why.While I was married to Eli, he just told me that it was wishful thinking. That I wished I was one of them and imagined I could do all those things. In the meantime, I was far stronger than he was and he knew it. I glare at the guards and turn away before I kill someone.“She’s going to go straight to the hunters, Silas.” I sigh
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 43 - I love you.
Lyra“Silas, I didn’t think about it at the time, but how expensive could this favour of Fiona’s become?” I start worrying on the way home, and he smiles.“She is going to demand energy. I can promise you that, and she is going to demand it from you. She won’t kill you, but she will probably come close. Don’t worry about it. We aren’t going to give it to her.” He tries to reassure me, but his words do the opposite.Waiting for Fiona’s news is nerve-wrecking. Hours turn into days and then into weeks. I’m just about to have a coronary when I get some news. It’s not the news I’ve been waiting for, but at least it will keep my mind occupied.“What do you want Lisa?” I sigh as I walk into the basement where she is being kept. Eli’s mistress is the only one from his pack that we locked up. She is the only one that Silas believes is dangerous. We believe that she knows the hunters thanks to Eli.We don’t want her running to the hunters to make a new deal. Not that she has anything to give th
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 42 - Where are the hunters?
LyraThankfully, Silas doesn’t take long to heal and within two days he is back home ordering people around. He seems happy with everything I’ve done while he was out, and now he is the one who has to make the arrangements for Eli’s old pack to join ours.Although I’m their alpha according to werewolf law, they will be swearing their loyalty to Silas. At first, I wasn’t happy about it all, but Silas convinced me that it is for the best. Our numbers should scare off the Hunters and if it doesn’t, we will have more than enough people to fight whatever they bring our way.“I still can’t believe you replaced our son with cabbage.” Silas laughs as we sit in front of the fireplace in his office. I smile, thinking back to what is probably one of the worst and best days of my life. I found my strength that day. I also saw what I could be, and I didn’t like some of it.“Helena and I had to think fast. I didn’t want to put Hunter in danger, but I wanted Eli to think it was him. I’m surprised no
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 41 - Luna ... Alpha ... Queen.
LyraI can’t think about the werewolves around us. All I see is the blood spilling from the man I love. Helena comes running toward us as Silas crumbles to the ground.“Hunter! Where is Hunter?” His eyes are filled with panic as a smile starts to form on my face.“At home. Safe. It was cabbage. I brough cabbage with me.” I press down hard on his wound while Helena runs back to the library for the first aid kit. Our warriors are rounding up Eli’s wolves that survived the fight.Minutes later, our doctor appears, and I sit back, but I stay close. Silas has lost consciousness a couple of times and, from the look of things, he’s lost a lot of blood. I want to go with him when they load him into the ambulance, but our beta stops me.“Luna, he is in good hands. You have responsibilities here.” He looks at the wolves gathered just a few meters away. I nod and tell Helena to go with Silas and to keep me updated. She nods, and I watch as the love of my life is driven off before I turn my atten
