Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 85 - An impossible situation - Part 1
FernI walk into our home, and suddenly everything has changed. It’s not our home anymore. It’s nobody’s fault. That is the worst part of all of this. It is nobody’s fault. They had a fling and I don’t know if she was trying to trap Jack into a relationship or if it was just an accident, but here we are.Jack is going to share that very special time with another woman, and I’m not going to be the first. It’s heartbreaking. I hear the front door open and smell Jack’s scent as he slowly walks into the house without a word.He finds me in the bedroom and my tears just start to roll the second he sits down beside me and pulls me into his arms. I slip my arms around his shoulders and cling to him. This wasn’t what I thought would go wrong, but I was kind of waiting for something to go wrong.I’ve never been lucky enough to have it all. This just proves that. Jack clings to me while I just let it all out. I’ve never cried like this before. I’ve never felt this hurt before. Jack lets me cry

FernWhen I wake up in the morning, I hear the shower running and moments later it stops. I close my eyes and listen as Jack moves around the room to get dressed. I hear him stop at the foot of the bed and sigh before he leaves.When I open my eyes, I see a note on his pillow, and I’m almost too scared to read it. I don’t want him to give up his son. I don’t want his son to grow up without at least one of his parents. This is the most impossible situation we could ever have been in.I’ve not asked what is wrong with her. Not many werewolves get sick. Our biology won’t allow it. Sadly, it’s not the same for rogues. Without a pack they aren’t as strong as they should be. I don’t believe that the girl is lying just to work her way into the pack and into Jack’s life.I turn on my back and just stare at the ceiling for a little while before getting up and getting into the shower. I hear someone in the kitchen when I’m done, and I can smell Isabella’s scent before I see her. I walk into the

FernI don’t just find myself missing Jack during the day. I miss what little we had before this girl showed up to turn our lives upside down. I spend the morning with my nose deep in paperwork, and I’m grateful that Isabella lets me be.I know how difficult it must be for her not to interfere. She’s the motherly type and interfering is part of her DNA. It’s probably one of the things I find most appealing about her. She’s not much older than me, but ever since she took me in, she’s been mothering me. Or it’s more like a big sister.“Fern, honey,” Her voice interrupts my thoughts and, when I look up, she is standing behind her desk frowning. “It’s lunchtime. Jack spoke to me early this morning, and he mentioned something about you two having lunch at your house.”I nod. I get up and sigh deeply, feeling as if I really don’t want to have this lunch. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I’m tired. I want a spell that can take all of us back in time so that I can meet Jack before he

Fern“I’m a father.” He sounds shocked. Where the hell has he been?! I gawk at him. I study Jack for a moment as our perfect world crashed down around us. Jack actually thought that the kid wasn’t his. He didn’t say anything to anyone, but he actually thought that.“Yeah.” I honestly don’t have the words. “Has she settled in?” I frown. My mind starts to run through how we are going to do this. The baby is Jack’s. Now there is no denying it anymore. Isabella received confirmation that morning from the girl’s doctor that she isn’t lying. She is living on borrowed time.“Yes, but she doesn’t hang around when I’m with … my son.” Jack sighs. The girl has been very respectful under the circumstances.“Okay, I think I need to talk to her.” I surprise myself. I didn’t plan on it. I was fully intended on ignoring her existence until she was no longer there, but something is pushing me to speak to her. Jack looks worried for a moment and then nods.“Now?” He frowns and I nod.“Yes. I think we s
Last Updated : 2025-04-13Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 89 - Forty days of bonding.
FernOver the next two weeks, I will try my best to bond with Jack’s son as far as I humanly can. It’s difficult. Each time I see him, I just think about Jack being with that girl, and although I know they didn’t cheat or anything like that, it’s really tough.The day that Riley’s mom dies, I stand by Jack as best I can, but honestly, although I will never say it out loud, I am relieved. Not having to see her makes things a little easier for me. Riley is moved into our home immediately and, all of a sudden, I’m a mother.I once again go through the motions and try my best not to show how I’m feeling, but I’m convinced that Riley and Jack can feel it. I have such a huge problem bonding with the baby. It’s not until Isabella finally corners me about it that it all comes to a head.“I can’t explain it. I’ve been trying to hide it, but it’s clear I haven’t been very successful. I just … I know this is going to sound horrible, Isabella, but how do I bond with a baby that isn’t mine?” My eye

FernThe first couple of days I feel like an idiot. I feel as if everything I do is wrong, and I’m convinced I’m going to do the long thing and kill Riley! Then finally, thanks to the guidance of Isabella, the omega and Jack, I start to get it right.I notice the different kinds of cries and I actually love taking time to just sit there and watch him sleep. Riley is slowly spending more time awake and, at first, I wasn’t entirely sure what to do with him then. I also wasn’t really sure what to do with myself when he was asleep.Days soon turn into weeks and before long the forty days are up. I wouldn’t say that I love Riley yet. I won’t say that I feel like his mother, but I have grown incredibly fond of the little ball of smush. Riley is a real fat and happy little guy.He is my little ball of smush and when nobody is around, I love blowing bubbles on his tummy and making him laugh. I love watching him sleep. I just love having him in our home and after forty days are up, I can’t imag

FernThis was not exactly what we planned, but Jack and I couldn’t have been happier. Sometimes life does not give you what you think you want. It gives you what you really need and after our little girl, Esme, is born, it feels as if our family is complete.The first couple of years are stormy as we navigate teething babies and terrible twos. Just as we think it’s safe, they hit puberty and soon after they become terrible teenagers! Riley knows that I’m not his biological momma, but we are both okay with what we are. Mother and son.Neither of us blames the other for anything. We have always just been mother and son. Riley and Esme are siblings and boy do they act like it sometimes. I swear I can get whiplash because of their moods. One day they are so close that you would swear they are twins.The next you have to physically pull them apart before they hurt each other. I’m relieved when Riley shifts on his sixteenth birthday. I never said it out loud, but I was worried there for a l

EsmeMy heart sinks. I didn’t think she would follow me! I was sure they were asleep. My parents were ancient. They always went to bed early, and then I had the run of the house! As I turn in the water, I note my dad and that just breaks my heart while my friends are still trying to scatter.Unfortunately, my parents aren’t the only ones there and as I make my way through the water to the little beach, I note how even Jason is being dragged back. I can’t believe he ran! He left me here to face the music alone.As I get out, I see my friends glaring at me, but what hurts most is the way Jason is glaring at me. I didn’t do this on purpose, but indirectly, I’ve betrayed my friends. My life is ruined all because my mom wouldn’t just let it be. All because she wouldn’t let me just have some fun.“It’s days like these that I wish I gave you more than one name!” She growls as I wrap a towel around me. I can’t look up. I can’t see the disappointment in my dad’s eyes. But worse is that I can’t

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
