Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Lovers to rivals
Eleanor wished Thomas would shut up and let her do her job in silence, but that proved to be too much to ask for.“Is this his plan? Did he convince you to do this when you stayed at Darkfall?” he asked.“Why do you ask? You don’t think I can make my life decisions on my own? Or do you believe we were in such a good relationship that it would take an outsider poisoning my mind for me to think about leaving you?” She sat back on her haunches. “Get rid of your jacket, it’s in my way.”He grabbed his jacket and pulled it off. “See? I’m even willing to protect you with my life. What else do I have to do to show you how much you mean to me?”He was so good at making her sound like the bad person in this situation. As if she was the one throwing away a perfectly good relationship, and he was the one fighting tooth and nail to save it. As if she couldn’t see how good she had it, and he wanted to help her see what a big mistake she was making.“Our marriage is over,” she reminded him, because
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Making wild accusations
Leaving Thomas behind, Eleanor walked into the hall and looked around to locate Henry. She found him and rushed over. He was helping an injured Luna with a bleeding wound on her upper arm.“How is it?” she asked, looking around the hall.“Bad,” he said. “Both Lunas and Alphas were attacked. Those who were near the site of the explosion did not survive. Some are unconscious, others with serious injuries. I also think the wolf poison is weakening them. Even those with minor injuries cannot help others because they are too weak.”As Eleanor looked around, she found that what he was saying was true. The explosion had occurred in the middle section, affecting both groups of the congregation. Everything near there was damaged, and several bodies lay on the ground.“No!” A loud scream came from a Luna who was holding onto one of the bodies as she cried for her dead mate. “Come back to me! Don’t die like this! Don’t leave me!”Painful cries of help and pain filled the hall from a dozen differ
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Mysterious Threat
Everyone was busy debating the credibility of Thomas’s claims that they did not even notice that the two Alphas were getting close to blows as they faced off.Eleanor, though, was watching them closely and stepped between them before their verbal fight could turn into a physical one.“I cannot believe you are supporting this man,” Thomas told her. “When his plot is uncovered, aren’t you afraid you’ll be persecuted alongside him?”Standing by Henry, Eleanor faced him with a hard glare. “If you have any concrete evidence to show that Henry is involved in all of this, present it to all of us here. But if you don’t, I suggest you shut up. This is a serious attack that should be investigated thoroughly. If everybody here decides to point fingers blindly, it will only benefit the culprit!”“Luna Eleanor is right,” the Chief Councilman, who had recovered from the poison’s effect, said as he walked over. “We will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not stop until we unearth who caused
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return A bad feeling
“I’ll support you,” Miller finally told her, giving her a firm determined look. “I’ll do whatever I can to help you accomplish your plan.”“Are you sure?” Eleanor asked. “It’s alright if you need more time to think about it.”Miller shook his head. “There’s nothing to think about. I promised that I would support you no matter what, and now it has finally come to this. This concerns the pack, and in the end, it will be one of you holding the Alpha position. I would rather it be you.”“I’m really grateful,” Eleanor told him. “Your support means a lot to me. I’ll get in touch when I need your assistance. For now, go back to Blackstorm with Thomas and stay by his side. Don’t let him know about our agreement. I’m afraid he’d do something horrible to punish you.”“Don’t worry about me,” Miller assured her. “I’ll not get in trouble. You should take care when you get to Darkfall.”She nodded. “I will. Wait for my return, I’ll be back soon.”After that, they said their goodbyes and parted. Mil
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Confessing her feelings
Watching the footage from the surveillance cameras and seeing how so many had been caught in the middle of the explosion brought back the emotions Eleanor had felt when it first happened.For a moment, she had been unaware of where the explosion had come from. And then there were the screams from inside the hall and Jonathan in the hallway.It had all happened so quickly, and when it registered to her that she had no idea where Henry was, the panic had hit.She had wanted to remain positive, telling herself that he was safe because he had moved away from the hall. But deeper, she had been freaking out that she wouldn’t see him again.Now, watching the footage, her fear was reawakened. That something would happen and snatch him away from her just when she had found him.“Hey, are you okay?” Henry asked, reaching over her shoulder to smooth her hair back. “What are you thinking so hard about?”Eleanor scooted over to his side, closing the distance between them. She wrapped her arms arou
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Hybrids
The next day, Eleanor and Sophia sat in the area outside the library having breakfast. It was a bit late in the day, around ten o’clock. It was a beautiful day, with the flower garden right outside glimmering in the morning sun.“I envy you, my friend,” Sophia said, grinning at Eleanor over the rim of her cup of tea. “Just one look at you and I can tell you had some good sex last night. Maybe this morning too?”Eleanor sputtered, not expecting the sudden onslaught. She placed her cup of tea down on the small table between them and raised an eyebrow at her friend. “What are you talking about?”Sophia tsked and shook her head. “Don’t you dare act coy with me. You are glowing. And I’m pretty sure anyone within ten feet of you can catch his scent all over you.”Eleanor bit the inside of her lip, fighting to keep her smile from breaking. Well, she couldn’t deny it if Henry’s scent on her was selling her out, could she?Sophia sighed, a look of longing crossing over her face. “I wish Ethan
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return The perfect heir
Eleanor had expected that Thomas would do such a thing to stop her from getting into the pack, so she had come prepared.Reaching into her bag, she brought out the documents she had brought along. They were divorce papers and orders from the Council giving directions about the property division.With them in hand, she opened the door and got out.“Here,” she said, handing them to the warrior who had approached the car. “These are papers from the Council showing that I have every right to be here. Alpha Thomas has no power to stop me.”The warrior took the papers and looked over them. He showed his partner the papers, and after a few minutes, they returned them to her.“We are sorry, Luna Eleanor,” the first warrior apologised. “We were only following orders. Please proceed.“I understand,” she told them with a smile. “No worries.”She got back into the car and they resumed the drive towards the packhouse. She was glad the warriors had not tried to complicate things. They too understoo
Rebirth And Revenge: The Betrayed Luna's Return Faced with options
Mia strutted towards Eleanor, a smug look on her face. “What do we owe the pleasure?” she asked, coming to a stop and crossing her arms over her chest.To her total chagrin, Eleanor did not spare her a look. As if she didn’t see or hear her, she walked right past her and to Thomas. Mia rolled her eyes and scoffed, hiding her embarrassment.“Why did you remove my access to the pack’s funds?” Eleanor asked Thomas, getting right down to business.Thomas arched an eyebrow, facing her with an otherwise passive face. It hid the loathing and anger swirling deep inside him. “Why, were you planning to use them to throw a party to celebrate getting your divorce?”“Thomas,” she said in a serious tone, “I’m not here to play games with you. I want my access back right now.”He made a mocking sound in his throat. “You humiliated me at the summit and concealed the fact that you found your mate. Taking away your access is the least I can do to teach you a lesson.”Eleanor stepped closer until they we

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
