Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 8 - A piece of the puzzle!
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
Last Updated : 2025-02-16Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 11 - Precious moments ...
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

Lyra“I’m so damn sick and tired of this!” I pull away from Silas. “What is it with werewolf men? Women aren’t porcelain dolls, you know? We actually know how to take care of ourselves.” I glare at him feeling furious.“I know that.” He sighs. “I just meant that as the alpha of the pack, it is my duty to request your transfer. That is the law.” I can swear that I see a smile start to form in the corners of his mouth, but he looks away for a moment and when he looks at me again, it’s gone.“Oh. Fine.” I sigh feeling really silly. “It doesn’t change the fact that your laws are really stupid.” I puff and he laughs this time. “How long do you think all of this will take?” I frown.“We can find that out right now.” Silas smiles and makes his way around his desk. He picks up the phone and calls Eli. I recognize the voice of that traitorous woman instantly, and I have to fight the urge to scream at her when she tells Silas that Eli is busy and will call back.It’s hardly five minutes later w

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
