Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return One last chance
Jonathan pinned her with a glare. “Lying is not going to save you,” he growled.“I’m not lying,” she claimed, digging her heels into the floor to keep the warrior from dragging her farther away. “I’m pregnant, and you are the father. But I told Thomas the baby is his. Think about it. When the child is born, we can use it as leverage to claim Blackstorm’s territory. He does not have another child. As far as he is concerned, this is his heir!”Jonathan gripped his chair hard, digging his fingers into the leather.Mia noticed the hesitance on his face and jumped on the chance to change his mind. “If you kill me right now, you’ll lose every connection to Blackstorm. I’ve made many friends and allies in the pack. I can still use them to get what you want. I promise you, Alpha, I’ll get back everything that has been lost. I’ll do whatever it takes to fix my mistake!”Jonathan got up from his seat and approached her. “If you are lying to me, I’ll make you wish you'd never been born,” he thre

After they were done making plans for how to look for Mia, Sophia ventured outside the packhouse and into the garden outside.It was a peaceful night, with a clear star-lit sky.But there was no peace for her. There would never be. Liam was gone, and it was all her fault.She had been so hopeful that she would find Mia at Blackstorm and make her pay for what she had done.But she had failed at that too.She had not only been unable to protect her little brother, but now, she could also not make his murderer pay.What kind of sister was she?She recalled Liam’s pained cries as he begged her to help him. He had thought she could help him because she was his big sister. But she had turned out to be useless. She had failed him when he needed her the most, and she could never make it up to him.She should have gone looking for him as soon as he went silent. She should have known it was all Mia’s plan–who else had a beef against them at the moment?Tears ran down her face as she cried bitte

That night, Eleanor could not sleep. She doubted she would be able to sleep well until she flushed Mia out of hiding and brought her to justice.Henry lay behind her on the bed, one arm thrown over her body. He had assured her that he would spare no effort in helping her look for Mia. She appreciated his help and support.But not even his assurances were enough to get rid of the guilt that weighed her down.All of this had happened because of her. Because of her cursed fate with Thomas and Mia. In her past life, they had managed to kill her.How far would they go in this life? What horrible things did they have planned for her?When the Moon Goddess gave her another life, it was not a guarantee that she would not go through pain and suffering. It did not mean her road to achieving what she wanted was paved.No.She still had the same enemies and the same obstacles.Her only advantage was that she knew their true intentions. She had known Mia’s true nature from the beginning, and that’

It was Henry holding her down. He was calling her name, begging her to wake up.“What’s wrong?” he asked when she opened her eyes.It took her a few moments to realise that she was no longer in the vision. Henry was not dead. He was here, with her. Alive.Eleanor threw her arms around him and held onto him. Tears flew from her eyes unbidden. The pain and panic she had felt seeing him dead was still with her, and she could barely breathe.“Eleanor, what’s wrong?” Henry asked, his voice overcome with worry.“Don’t die,” she sobbed, crying harder. “Don’t die and leave me.”“What are you talking about?” he asked, confusion mingling with the concern in his voice.Eleanor released him and pulled back to look at him. “I saw your death,” she told him, reaching up to wipe away her tears. “The hybrids killed you. I could not do anything to save you. I could not…” she trailed off, her voice catching.Henry shook his head and placed his hands on her shoulders. “Shh, it’s okay. It was just a bad d

Two days after their trip to Blackstorm, Eleanor received a call from Thomas. She answered the call, curious why he would be calling her.They were not on talking terms, and she doubted he would let her know if Mia had shown up.Despite looking in many places, they were yet to discover any information that could lead them to Mia’s hideout, or the hybrids’. Regardless, they were not giving up yet.The hybrids were not done with their attacks yet, and it was a guarantee that they were still somewhere, working on their schemes. Eleanor was determined to find them before they carried out their next attack.“What is it?” she asked impatiently into the phone.“Mia was kidnapped,” he told her right away.At the mention of Mia’s name, Eleanor turned around and walked away from the pack members she was with. She was foreseeing the setting up of the training complex for the warrior trainees. “What do you mean?”“Mia and Nessa were kidnapped. The kidnapper just contacted me,” he informed her.Ne

After the call with Thomas, Eleanor went back to the packhouse to discuss the new development with Henry.“You should not go,” he said as soon as she finished telling him the details. “You are right, it’s obviously a trap.”“But this is also the best chance to discover the hybrids’ hideout,” she told him. “We’ll hatch a plan and I’ll not go without backup.”“You are right, we need to find out where they have their base. But I still don’t like it. What if they ask you to meet somewhere else other than where they are hiding?”“Then I’ll use my backup,” she told him. “I have to take the risk. I have to try and save Nessa, and if there’s a chance I can find Mia, I have to take it.”During that night’s fight with Mia’s hybrids, Jonathan had ordered his men to take her to him. So she believed that his ultimate goal was to hold her hostage in his camp.As long as his objective was not to kill her, and she was certain it wasn’t, she would manipulate the situation to her benefit.“Fine,” he ag
Last Updated : 2024-03-06Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return A hot reminder
Henry fought back a smile as he detected the annoyance in Eleanor’s voice. She was trying to sound casual, but it was not working.Even the look on her face was giving her feelings about his revelation away.“Nothing happened between us,” he told her. He stepped over to her and stood behind her, then placed his hands on her shoulders. “The alliance did not happen because I did not want to marry her. I only wanted to be with my destined mate. You.”Eleanor’s body visibly relaxed beneath his touch. “Oh,” she replied, as if she was still trying to hide the effect his words had on her.“My father was angry,” he continued. “He said I was throwing away our pack’s future because of my stupid romantic ideas. He said my mate was probably dead and asked if I would remain unmated if I never found her.”“What did you tell him?” she asked softly.“Yes. I told him I didn’t want anyone who wasn’t her.”Eleanor chuckled. “He must have not liked hearing that.”He shook his head. “No, he didn’t. He sai

The location that Jonathan sent for the meeting spot was on the western border. As soon as Eleanor received the information, she held a meeting to discuss their plan.Remembering Grace’s betrayal in her former life, she was careful to only keep the information on a need-to-know basis.Things may have panned out differently in this life, but she suspected Mia had already recruited her personal maid to her side.The vision from the Goddess had also been a reminder to be more vigilant against her. Keeping that in mind, she had asked Sophia and Miller to watch her movements around the pack.With Mia out of the picture, Eleanor suspected Grace was her spy. Eleanor had to make sure that she did not leak crucial information about their plan. Even better, she decided they could use her to get one over Mia.She shared her thoughts with Henry, and they agreed to make a show when Grace delivered tea to the briefing room where they were meeting with the warriors to plan their ambush.Grace came a

Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return The beginning of a happily ever after
Eleanor woke up in the morning after the coronation ceremony to the sensation of Henry’s fingers stroking down her arm. Electricity skittered across her skin from the simple contact, waking her completely.“Are you awake?” Henry asked, as if he could tell without even looking at her face, which was buried in his shoulder.“Yes,” she mumbled.He hooked his fingers under her chin and lifted her face. He smiled at her softly before kissing her on the lips. It was a soft kiss at first, but before long, it intensified into their tongues tangling together and her hand rising to sink into his hair.His hand on the other hand went lower, slipping between her legs and seeking her warm centre. She moved her legs apart, granting him easy entry. His fingers teased her nub, rubbing her until she was panting against his mouth and humping into his hand.“Please,” she pleaded, wanting to feel him inside.He pulled his hand away and before she knew it she was lying on her back and he was positioning h
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return The coronation
was the culmination of Henry’s efforts in the past few months, which had seen him rise to the position of the Alpha King of the South.While Blackstorm started rebuilding and putting things back in order, Henry had gotten busy strengthening Darkfall’s territory.The alliance with Jonathan had left most of the rogue packs around Darkfall weak. They had sacrificed most of their warriors and funds in plotting against Darkfall and Blackstorm and helping Jonathan wage his war.They had been promised territories and titles, but with the hybrid’s defeat, all they had gotten were losses. This made it easier for Henry to conquer and absorb them without extending a lot of effort. He also took over Alpha Elroy’s pack, making it part of Darkfall.In the months that followed, he had not faced any serious threat, and Darkfall thrived and became the most powerful pack in the southern region. Soon, all the packs in the region selected him as the Alpha King of the South, asserting his dominance and Da
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return A new beginning
The next day, members from the two packs–Eleanor’s and Thomas’s–gathered in the square, awaiting Mia’s trial. Word about her involvement with the hybrid attackers had spread, and everybody was looking forward to her sentence.Her execution would close a chapter everybody wanted to forget and move on from. After that, it would be time to rebuild the pack, as one, to what it was before all the chaos.Mia was tied to a post, with wood arranged beneath her feet. She struggled against the rope around her hands and feet as she cried out, claiming innocence. “She is only doing this because of jealousy!” she screamed so that the people gathered could hear her. “She killed Alpha Thomas because he chose me instead of her, and now she wants to kill me and his only heir.”“Witch!” someone in the crowd yelled and pelted a stone at her. “Shut your filthy lying mouth!”“There were many witnesses present when you killed Alpha Thomas,” one of the warriors who were with Thomas that day said, “and even
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Friend or foe?
It was then that it occurred to Eleanor that she had not heard from Miller since she came back. She had been communicating with Sophia all along. If something bad had happened to him, Sophia would have told her, right?“Hey, have you seen Miller?” she decided to ask Henry. He had been at the pack before the attacks so she thought he might have an idea about her Gamma’s whereabouts. “I haven’t heard from him or seen him anywhere.”Henry sighed, his chest shifting beneath her. “Did you ever find it funny how he agreed to become your Gamma?”Eleanor frowned and shook her head. “What? Why? No, I…he had promised to support me no matter what, and he wanted the best for the pack. He knew Sophia would be my Beta all along and was okay with the position he got.”“So you think he was just being selfless, giving up his position as the Beta of Blackstorm to be your Gamma?” Henry asked her.Well, there was that, but there was also the fact that Miller had confessed to having feelings for her.Even
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Reconnecting
Henry deepened the kiss, his lips moving against hers with strong strokes. Their bodies, pressed against each other with nothing in between, lit on fire as a burning passion passed between and through them.Eleanor pushed him back into a tree, trapping him there while her hands roamed his muscular body. “Will anyone miss you if I lock you up in a room with me for the next one year?” she asked when they pulled back to catch their breaths.“They’ll just have to do without me,” he replied as she pressed her lips to his face. She trailed kisses from his temple and down to his lips, where she only teased him before moving on down to his jaw. He tipped his head back into the tree as she continued on to his throat.He groaned in pleasure when she wrapped her lips around his Adam’s apple and sucked. While she tormented him with her lips, he ran his hands down her back until they reached her ass.He squeezed her cheeks and pressed her forward, letting her feel his hot erection against her bell
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return At peace at last
Elroy cracked his neck as he smiled arrogantly. “Once you lose, your territory will become mine.”Good luck, Eleanor thought, wishing he would shut up already. Her wolf growled and hit her paw on the ground, letting him know that he was wasting time blabbering. He seemed to get the message because he shifted back to his wolf form and faced her.Henry got out of the way and the two rushed at each other, growling. They met mid-air and crashed into one another before falling to the ground. Elroy’s wolf lunged for her throat but Harper was quick on her feet and got away.She went straight for his hind leg and snapped it between her fangs. Elroy’s wolf howled and violently pulled himself away, the scent of his blood filling the air.Eleanor wished she could taunt him then, ask him whether he was sure he wanted to go ahead with this. Taunting him like that would make him see red and attack out of spite without caution. It would be a quick way to end this battle.She settled for regarding hi
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return The Challenge
Nessa fell to her knees beside her brother, tears streaming from her eyes. “Thomas! Thomas!” she called, holding onto his arm and shaking him. “Don’t do this. Don’t leave me!”A sombre mood engulfed the warriors who had accompanied Thomas and they watched helplessly as his sister cried over his body. It was such a sudden death, and none of them could have imagined that it would be the end for him.They had left Blackstorm determined to aid their former fellow pack members and fix the strained relationship between the two packs. Nobody could have foreseen such a tragedy.Eleanor wrapped an arm around Nessa’s shoulders and pulled her into a hug. The girl turned to her and accepted her embrace, crying into her shoulder.Eleanor wished she had been able to notice Mia earlier and stop her from hurting anyone. Nessa’s pain awakened the despair from losing Liam.She wished that the thought of bringing Mia to justice could do anything to erase the pain she had caused. It would not bring back
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return End of the road
Thomas’s warriors rushed towards him where he lay on the ground unable to move. Eleanor looked up from his body and to Mia, who had shot the arrow.Mia’s eyes were filled with rage as she faced Eleanor. There were about a dozen werewolf warriors baying for her blood, but she did not even seem to be bothered.After being sprung from the interrogation room, it had taken her a while to find her way to the east gate without discovery. Before she could make it there, the building she had taken cover in had blown up. She was lucky to get out alive!She was running on fumes from the anger she felt towards Jonathan. How dare he set off the bombs without first ensuring she was out of harm’s way? She was the one who had introduced the idea to him.She had delivered Henry to him on a silver platter, but he had botched that up to. How could everything go so wrong after everything she had done?She could not believe that he had allowed Eleanor to escape. Was this the she-wolf he regarded far above
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return A new friend
By the time Henry got to Eleanor’s pack, there were buildings up in flames.“What happened?” he asked Sophia when she came to meet him.“There was an explosion,” she told him, and then continued to give him a rundown of the situation. “Fortunately, we were able to evacuate most of the pack members successfully.” Worry took over her features. “However, there are a few Omegas trapped in the kitchen and basement. We are working on getting them out. Some of my warriors are holding off the attackers away from the compound.”“Where is Miller?” Henry asked.“He is keeping an eye on Mia,” she replied.“Coordinate the rescue for the Omegas trapped in the basement and I’ll go check,” he said. “That woman led me and my warriors into a trap, I don’t trust her.”He was already suspecting that she had a hand in the explosions. Jonathan had not had a chance to send a signal before he killed him–at least not one Henry was aware of. So if the explosions had gone off, it had to be one of Jonathan’s spi
