No mercy
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The next day, Eleanor was brought to the square to face trial. Everybody bayed for her blood.
"What a wicked Luna, to kill the pack's only heir. It was nobody's fault that she hadn't been able to fulfil her responsibility as the pack's Luna! She should have been grateful that the Alpha kept her around even after finding his true mate!"
Eleanor watched numbly as the very people she had lived with all her life, the same people she had served wholeheartedly, threw all sorts of insults at her.
Why did they all so easily believe Mia's accusations? Not even one of them gave her the benefit of the doubt. Was everything she had done for the pack so far not enough to earn her that at least? Just because Mia got pregnant, everyone in the pack chose to believe her!
Eleanor felt as if her throat had been cut off, robbing her of her breath.Since she became Luna, she had put all her energy into making the pack stronger. She often worked late into the night, doing her best.
She knew her inability to conceive was a huge shortcoming on her part. Having an heir was important for the pack since it ensured stability. So she had tried to make up for it in every possible way.
She managed most of the pack's affairs, many which would have naturally been the Alpha's domain. For instance, Thomas didn't like socialising, so it remained up to her to engage with other Alphas from other packs.
Most times, she would have to drink excessively with them to the point of getting sick just so she could form connections and bring back investments to Blackstorm.
She had to act like them, show them that she was one of them even if she was not an Alpha. If she didn't, they would never take her seriously.
While the pack benefited from her sacrifices, her marriage suffered. Thomas thought she was becoming less of a woman. Eventually, he started spending less time at home.
She suffered greatly from it, often waking up in the middle of the night to question whether she had really done something wrong. Yet the pack was her and Thomas's responsibility, so she had to put away her tears during the day and continue working. However, Thomas ignored her more frequently. He changed. He no longer shared the amusing anecdotes he encountered in his daily training. He even stopped requesting her to fulfill his sexual needs. She had worked for it. Having been taught that excessive indulgence in desires was not fitting for a lady, she didn't want Thomas to suffer. So she bought sexy lingerie, even studied various ways to please men. But when she summoned the courage to enter Thomas's room, what did she see?
She saw Mia beneath him! Thomas's cock was thrusting in and out of Mia's vagina, clearly enjoying himself. She should have bitten this bitchy pair in their necks and pulled out their tongues!
But instead, she silently get dressed and continued playing the role of an understanding Luna. She knew that the pack needed an heir, if Mia could provide one.
She had ran away in tears, not able to face him. The mark on her neck hurt so much that she couldn't stand. She had to leave.
Since then, she couldn't fall asleep at night. Every time she closed her eyes, the image of Thomas and Mia having sex would reappear in her mind. The tenderness from Thomas that had once belonged to her was now Mia's.
So she managed to avoid them. When they brought the news of Mia's pregnancy, her joy outweighed her pain because the pack would finally be stable.
"Luna... I'm sorry, I... I couldn't resist the pull of my mate. Alpha told me that for the stability of the pack, I had to bond with him... I understand your anger towards me, but I hope you can accept the life growing inside me..." Mia approached me, using her signature tone of pity.
Mia seemed terrified of Eleanor, but when Eleanor tried to hug her to show her kindness, Thomas immediately stepped between them. He roughly pushed Eleanor away.
"Eleanor, as Luna, you must ensure the safe delivery of our pack's heir. Do you understand?"
Eleanor looked at Thomas in disbelief. Under the gaze of all the pack members, she pushed Thomas away and left. She had to, as she didn't want the pack members to see her tears. No! The Luna couldn't show weakness in front of the pack!
"I thought your anger was temporary, and you would remember your responsibility as a Luna to the pack! But you didn't. Ever since Mia told you about her pregnancy, you've been planning to kill her child!" Thomas's angry voice jerked Eleanor back from her memories.
She gazed at Thomas, his eyes as cold as an iceberg beneath the sea, lacking all warmth and filled with hatred. He had unjustly branded her as a criminal of the pack!
Eleanor laughed, finding it ridiculous for her to have blindly sacrificed to him, to fall fully in love with him. Also, she felt pity for him; he was cheated by Mia.
Thomas frowned at Eleanor's expression. "What's so amusing? Do you feel no guilt? You killed an innocent baby! My heir!"
Listening to his accusation, Eleanor felt even more ridiculous but she wouldn't tell him the truth!
If he didn't believe her, then, she was more willing to bury the truth and let him pay the price for his foolishness!
Eleanor looked down at the angry crowd below and then back at Thomas, keeping her back straight and stating firmly, "I said, I AM INNOCENT!"
"Still as stubborn as a malicious witch," Thomas replied coldly. He marched towards her with his sword in hand. "It seems only death can make you repent."
The crowd erupted in anger, shouting for Eleanor's sentence.
"Alpha, punish this vicious witch!"
"Kill her! Dig out her heart!"
Eleanor could not hear the cries of the crowd. Instead, she numbly watched as Thomas approached her with determination.
His steps steady, without any hesitation, until his sword pierced her heart.
Very precise, it hit her heart swiftly.
Her blood spurted out and splatter on his face.
Until this moment, her tears flowed out. She had been betting that Thomas would spare her life.
The man she had loved faithfully for years was now the one who took her life.
No mercy.
It was that moment that her heart truly broke, shattering to pieces. His betrayal pained her more than anything else, more than the false accusations. He was supposed to be by her side, always. To protect her and encourage her and love her.
All of that was in the past.
The crowd cheered.
Blood dripped down her shirt. She couldn't breathe. It was too painful. Thomas drew the sword back. Blood gushed from the wound.
It was really the end.
Before she went unconscious, she heard someone scream her name. She pulled her eyes from Thomas and towards the voice.
A man was running towards her, having broken through the crowd. He was handsome, she thought. If he was her knight in shining armour, she thought, he was too late.

When Eleanor came to, she was in a void that seemed like an endless canvas of white. Was this what heaven looked like?She looked down at herself. She was barefoot, wearing a white dress. She touched her chest. There was no wound. No pain.She looked around. There was nothing but white. Where was she?"Eleanor."She turned around, shocked by the sudden voice. There was a woman standing in front of her. There had been no one there a few moments ago.The woman was tall, with curly golden hair that fell past her shoulders and to the small of her back. She was the most beautiful woman Eleanor had ever seen. She seemed to radiate brilliance, and Eleanor had to squint as she looked at her.Was she an angel? Was she here to lead her to the afterlife?"Who are you?" Eleanor questioned."Selene, the Moon Goddess."Eleanor blinked. She had to be dreaming. Or she had to have died and... Right. She was dead. She was truly dead. "The Moon Goddess?" she whispered.The deity who was responsible for w

Thomas's face creased in confusion. He hadn't expected Eleanor to say no to his suggestion. She had never resisted him before and always supported his decisions unconditionally. What was wrong?He let go of Mia and approached his Luna. He took her hands and noted how she looked at him with stubborn eyes, as if nothing he could say would change her mind."Ella," he called her softly by the nickname he used with her, "I know you might think she'll take your position as Luna, but that will never happen. You are my Luna, the only she-wolf I want by my side. You don't have to be worried about that."Eleanor lowered her gaze. The way he sounded and the way he looked at her, no one would imagine that he would eventually betray her in the most cruel way.Anger, disappointment, sadness - a mix of emotions swept over her, making her nose tingle and eyes ache with unshed tears. But she gritted her teeth, telling herself she couldn't let them go this time!"Come on, Eleanor," he coaxed. "We've gro

"Harper, are you there?" Once outside, Eleanor called out for her wolf."Harper?" Eleanor called again."Yes... I'm here." Finally, Harper responded on the third call."It hasn't been easy, Eleanor, we both know what we've been through," Harper said sadly."Fortunately, the Moon Goddess has pitied our experiences and given us a chance to rewrite our lives..." Eleanor continued, picking up the conversation."But..." Harper hesitated, and Eleanor sensed something was wrong. "Harper, what's wrong?""Ah..." Harper sighed and finally said, "Thomas's betrayal has weakened me. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to appear whenever you need me. Worse still, after we break the bond with Thomas, we must find our true mate, or I will fade away forever."What?! This was shocking news. Finding a mate was a difficult task, and she hadn't found one in her previous life. "So we must speed up the process of reclaiming our pack," Eleanor said, her pace quickening. She needed to clear her head. As they e
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Pack's invader
The Darkfall PackThe Darkfall Pack was the most powerful pack in the northern region. No other pack had ever survived a confrontation with them, thanks to their formidable Alpha Henry. As a cold and domineering Alpha, only those who wished for death dared to cross his path. He trained his warriors rigorously, treating every training session as a real battle. He reminded his warriors not to have any false hopes in any war. He also gave she-wolves equal opportunities for training. Although physically, she-wolves might not be as strong as males, they possessed unparalleled judgment and focus that males lacked. With enough desire, they could defeat male wolves of the same rank.His bold approach had made his pack increasingly formidable.At the moment, the training grounds resounded with the huffing and puffing of punches, like the thundering of thousands of horses. The warriors' feet were soaked with sweat.Beta Ethan stood alongside Alpha Henry, both satisfied with the training results.

Eleanor looked at her phone in frustration. Alpha Henry had hung up on her!It pissed her off, but she wasn't surprised. After all, his reputation as cold and without compassion was not just hearsay.Her shoulders slumped. Without Alpha Henry's support, her chances of victory would be halved! She was about to dial Ethan's number again, but then she saw the text message from him."Alpha Henry will attend the Alpha meeting. I'll arrange for you to meet. Beta Ethan."Eleanor's eyes brightened. She needed to think carefully about what she would do to convince Alpha Henry to support her once they met. But before that, she needed to prepare a perfect outfit. Who could resist the tears of a sexy woman?As she dialed Sophia's number, Sophia's shed sad tears. She knew Eleanor was a strong woman who was accustomed to protecting others, which made her hesitant to call Eleanor. Sophia couldn't resist cursing Thomas again.

Eleanor was in her room preparing to go to bed when the door opened without a knock. Thomas walked into the room, his expression showing that he was about to start a fight.Eleanor stood from her seat at the vanity and faced him. "What do you want?"He had not shown up in their bedroom since that day he announced he would be taking Mia to the party."What's wrong with you?" he asked, giving her a disgusted look. "Why can't you just leave Mia alone? Why do you insist on causing trouble for her?"Eleanor crossed her arms over her chest and paced. So it was about what happened at the store. Of course, the rogue had gone crying to her mate and now he was here to scold her."What do you mean? What have I done?"Thomas moved to stand in her way. "Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. Mia ran into you at the store today, and you humiliated her in front of everybody."Eleanor arched an eyebrow. "I gave her the dress I'd chosen for myself because she liked it so much. How does t
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Unexpected meeting
Ethan looked around, searching for his Alpha's position. He was on the other side of the room, conversing with two other Alphas. His eyes, however, were directed at Eleanor.Ethan's brow dipped slightly as a troubling thought crossed his mind. Henry was looking for a red-haired she-wolf he had come across in Blackstorm's territory.He didn't often ask about she-wolves. Could it be that he had recognised her? Was Eleanor the she-wolf his Alpha had been searching for all along?"She is the Luna from Blackstorm pack who called wanting to see you," Ethan told him honestly.Luna from Blackstorm pack? Alpha Henry felt like he had been struck by lightning. The mate he had been waiting for had been marked by another Alpha! But how could he smell her scent?The moment she had walked into the room, he had recognised her as the red-haired she-wolf he had come across in Blackstorm's territory. But he had assumed she was just a high-ranking she-wolf from Blackstorm, as her partner wasn't Alpha Thom
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return I want you
"Calm down!" Henry had to silence Kai and he forcibly severed the link between them. He needed to understand the reason behind Eleanor's actions."Tell me, why? From what I've heard, you love your husband, Alpha Thomas." As Henry spoke the word 'love', his heart ached uncontrollably. He couldn't accept the fact that his mate had chosen another Alpha, instead of waiting for him."Yes, I love him. But I have to break our mark because my husband, Alpha Thomas, has found his mate." Eleanor answered in a sad voice.Upon hearing Eleanor admit that she loved Alpha Thomas, Henry felt as if his heart had been punched hard. He couldn't contain his anger and said, "Is this your reason for wanting to replace him as the Alpha of Blackstorm? You should have seen this coming. Werewolves always choose their destined mate unconditionally. You have no reason to hate him or even be so malicious as to usurp his pack."Eleanor fell silent. She knew, but she thought that her bond with Thomas would overcome

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
