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.

    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 agreement

    When they came to the western border, Thomas and Eleanor walked to the meeting point while the rest remained behind to take the agreed positions.Jonathan was already at the location when they arrived, accompanied by two burly warriors and Nessa. Her hands were bound in front of her, and the two warriors stood on either side of her.“Thomas!” she cried out when she saw her brother. She rushed forward but did not get anywhere as both warriors grabbed her arms and pulled her back.“Are you okay?” Thomas asked, assessing her body for injuries.She nodded, tears streaming down her face.Eleanor, whose hands were also bound, surveyed the area. Mia was nowhere to be seen. She had also not sensed any other scents on their way to the meeting spot.But she knew that did not necessarily mean they were alone. It was possible that the hybrids were masking their scents as usual.“Where is Mia?” Thomas demanded, looking around. “You said you would let both of them go if I brought her to you.”He ha

    Sophia’s gaze was focused on a spot about a hundred yards away. She had already shifted into her wolf form, as everybody else had, ready to ambush the hybrids when they appeared.They had separated into four groups divided among her, Miller, Henry, and Ethan. From her spot, Sophia had a direct view to one of the spots Eleanor had mentioned for Grace’s benefit.If the hybrids took the bait, Sophia and her group would spot them the moment they made a move. So far, they had been waiting for about half an hour, but there was still no news or instructions from Eleanor.“Any news from Alpha Eleanor?” she asked Miller through their mind-link.“No,” he replied back. He sounded way more calm than she felt. “If anything goes wrong, she’ll let us know,” he added.Sophia just wanted to know whether Mia was present or not. But she did not say that out loud. She knew Eleanor was not the only one who worried that she might forget the plan if she caught sight of the woman. The last thing she needed w

    It turned out that the poison the hybrid had used on Thomas was not fatal but had only been used to incapacitate him for a moment.By the time the powder cleared from the air, Jonathan and the hybrids were gone, taking Nessa with them.At that moment, Eleanor received a mindlink message from Miller letting her know that the hybrids had tried to escape but he had captured them.Eleanor and Thomas rushed back to the ambush point while the grey wolves gave chase to Jonathan and the two warriors.When they got to where Miller was waiting with his captives, the first thing Eleanor noticed was that Sophia was not with him.“Where is Sophia?” she asked, looking around. All of the warriors who had been in her group were back. However, none of them seemed to know where she had disappeared to.Quickly, Eleanor went to check the spot Sophia had been responsible for. There were many dead rogues and hybrids but no sign of her. According to the warriors who had been under her command, she had not b

    Once Ethan was done dealing with the hybrids he had been facing off, he ventured into the forest to look for Sophia. When he found her, she had her hands wrapped around Mia’s throat, strangling her.Mia’s eyes were bulging while her hands lay limp at her sides, too far gone to fight back. Her clothes were covered in blood and her face was badly bruised and swollen.Ethan shifted back to his human form quickly and ran to Sophia. “Stop!” he yelled at her. “Sophia, do not kill her!”Sophia’s eyes were full of hate and fury as she looked coldly at Mia’s face. “She deserves to die.”“She does,” Ethan agreed, hoping it wasn’t too late. “But not now. She can die after she tells us where the rest of them are.”Sophia’s brows pulled together, but she did not release her grip.“Sophia, listen to me. You’ll do whatever you want with her, but we have to question her first. We have her now, and she won’t get away again. She’ll pay for what she did, but we need her alive right now.”Sophia finally

    With a flick of his hand, Jonathan gestured to the man to stop whipping Nessa. He walked closer to Eleanor.“It’s all up to you now. You can make all this stop.” He cast a glance back at Nessa. “She doesn’t look like she can take anymore. Disappointing, because I’ve barely started. You can save her by giving me what I want. It’s as simple as that.”“I thought what you wanted was Thomas’s territory,” Eleanor told him. “What makes you think I can give you that?”He smiled. “Who said I only want half of it? I don’t care how you divided everything up, but I want all of it.”Eleanor looked straight at him, her expression blank. “And what makes you think I’m going to do what you want by doing this?” She scoffed and gestured towards Nessa. “She is just my ex-husband’s sister. She is a part of my history and has nothing to do with me now. You should have dragged Thomas here instead if you hoped to use her to get anything.”Jonathan’s eyes narrowed. “Is that so? Do you think I can believe that

    After searching the area around the border and not finding any signs of Jonathan or Eleanor, the others went back to Eleanor’s pack.They brought Mia back with them, determined to get the truth out of her before she had to pay for what she had done.They detained her in an interrogation room and Ethan and Miller teamed up against her first.“Has she said anything?” Henry asked when Ethan left the room later. He had been busy organising defence for Darkfall and hadn’t managed to watch the interrogation.Ethan shook his head. “Not yet. She maintains that she does not know where Jonathan took Eleanor.”Henry opened the door and walked into the room. Mia was sitting on one side of the table in the room. The room was like a concrete box with no openings once the door was closed. Mia looked up when Henry walked in, but only for a moment.“You are still not talking, huh?” Henry asked, standing on the other side of the table. “How much longer do you think you’ll be alive if you don’t talk?

  • 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

    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. 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

    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
