Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 7 - The truth revealed?
LyraAfter work, I decide to risk it and take a walk in the forest. The air is so crisp and clear, and it feels as if the colours are brighter. It has to be the hormones! It feels so good to be right there in the thick of nature. It feels right. It feels like home.I sigh. The forest was never really my home. I only feel this way because I spent so many years with the werewolves. Now I’m pregnant with a human child from a man that doesn’t even know and doesn’t look like he might want the responsibility.I told Mrs. Duncan that I was pregnant when I returned to work earlier. She was shocked, but she was really kind about it. Thankfully, she said that my job would be safe. I can’t see myself raising this baby without having a job.For the first time in a long time, I’m grateful I don’t have one of those high executive jobs in the city. In our small-town, things move slower, and I can give my baby what he or she needs. Financially and emotionally. At least, that is the hope.My thoughts

SilasI have never fallen for anyone. Never! Not this fast and this hard. She is absolutely mesmerizing, and I’ve only seen her twice. We aren’t destined mates or anything, but there is something … I could have sworn I heard … I shake my head as we drive out of the human town.I have tried to get some information about her, but it’s difficult to make inquiries about humans these days. Thanks to the world now believing in werewolves, we have to be more careful than ever. Fictional stories have given humans some idea of what and who we are, but also a lot of them are just make-believe.Some of them want to be us, and others want to dissect us. My mind drifts to the most beautiful woman in the world, and as I play our conversation through my mind, I realize something that makes me want to just protect her the way a wolf would protect their destined mate.Something in her look told me something deep inside of her is broken. I can only assume that her soon-to-be ex is the one who broke it.

LyraIt takes the old lady in the library a couple of minutes and some moving about, but after half an hour, she confirms it. The file is indeed mine. Or my information. She wasn’t very happy to find out that I took it out of the library.She is, however, kind enough to make me a copy and as I make my way back to the store, I feel lost. I have found out the one thing that has always been bugging me, but I feel more lost than I have ever felt before.The librarian was sure that the letter in the folder was from my mother, but after all the disappointment in my life, I’m still not sure if I should believe it. I tell Mrs. Duncan everything I found out in the hope that it would make it feel more real, but it doesn’t.For the next four days, I go back and forth on whether it is true and finally, I settle on that it is. I also believe that it is because of this that Eli never told me. He probably thought he was protecting me. Eli wasn’t a bad husband.He was always kind and loving. Well, mo

LyraMy mind is running at a mile a minute. I’m feeling dizzy and nauseous by the time Silas puts me down, and all around me his people are celebrating. I feel trapped for some reason. The sounds and smells suddenly make me feel really sick, and I burst through their small crowd and rush to the bathroom.When I finally emerge from the stall, the two females are waiting, and I’m a little agitated when they just try to help and make sure that I’m okay. I return to the table to find that Silas had somehow got his hands on champagne.“I can’t drink that.” I point at the glass that is clearly mine, and he grins at me.“That … is apple juice.” He winks, surprising me. “We can go and get your stuff in a couple of minutes. You should also resign from your job. I don’t want you working while in your condition. I will make sure Mrs. Duncan has help to replace you.” I gawk at how confidently he just informs me of my future plans.I know that he is a wolf, but dang! I have rights, don’t I? My bod

LyraWhat was happening was the one very strange thing about the werewolf world that, even after all these years, I still hadn’t gotten used to. Werewolves never moved slowly. Everything they do is always at such a fast pace.They meet their destined mate and the next day they are basically married and starting their life together and, usually soon after, they are expecting their first child and all before they are old enough really to know how life works.I shake my head as I make my way to the window. With my arms crossed tightly over my chest, I look out at the world below where werewolves of all shapes and sizes are going about their daily business. If the human world knew that the monsters were real …I sigh and decide to take a nap. It has been a long couple of weeks. I’ve been through the ringer and back, and it doesn’t seem as if my life will be a lot easier now. I am going to have a child with the man I had a one-night stand with.Who is also the enemy of my husband? I roll m

LyraI don’t understand why, but Silas has a very calming effect on me. I got the fright of my life when I opened my eyes, and he was standing there, but it only lasted for a moment. It even feels normal to make us a couple of sandwiches in the communal kitchen a short while later.Everything comes crashing down on me when we are in the doctor’s room and I hear our baby’s heartbeat. That is when the tears start to flow, and I can’t seem to stop them. Up to that point, I could avoid the fact that I’m having a baby with a man that isn’t my husband.Silas is clinging to the small picture as we walk back to our floor and I smile. I really did get a good guy this time. Which makes me realize that I still haven’t gotten rid of the previous one. I sigh deeply and Silas frowns at me.“I guess I had better get a divorce.” My words send shivers down the back of my spine and I note the slight shocked look in Silas’s eyes.“I didn’t want to push you, but I was going to suggest it. I would like us

LyraI catch a glimpse of Ben as he discreetly moves away, and I frown as I look at Silas. I’m not happy about having guards again, but I can understand why he is so protective.“I take it that you had fun.” I really wish I was one of them. I can just imagine the freedom they must feel. The power to be able to run at those speeds.“Yeah, running is always fun. Are you okay? Do you need anything?” He frowns, and I’m surprised yet again by how attentive he is. Eli was never this attentive, but it could just be because I’m pregnant. I shake my head, and we just sit there in silence for a couple of minutes while the pack chats about the run.“Time to go to bed. You need your rest.” After most of them have dispersed, Silas gets up and holds out his hand for me.“What if I don’t feel like …” I yawn, making him smile, and I roll my eyes as I take his hand. “Okay fine. I’ll go to bed.” I’m not showing yet, but I can feel that my body is changing. I’ve been really tired the past two days, and

Lyra“I’m sorry! I don’t even know why I’m crying.” I find my voice after Silas hands me a box of tissues. Wiping my face, I realize that I must look awful, but he sits down beside me looking so concerned that I completely forget about what I might look like.“It’s okay. I’ve told you. You are safe here.” Silas frowns. “I’m the one that should be sorry. I was just so excited that I didn’t think of how that kind of news might hurt you.”“I don’t want it to, but it does.” I shrug and sigh deeply, feeling a bit awkward under the circumstances. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt your meeting. We can have our lesson when you have some time.” I’m about to get up when his hand softly grips my arm.“You can never interrupt me. Besides, we have something important to discuss.” I see a lot of emotions cross his eyes as he seemingly tries to find the words to say whatever it is that he has to say. I patiently wait.“I want us to sign a contract. One that will protect both our rights. With re

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
