The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 12
Selena's POVWe remained in the infirmary, Zane providing the comfort that I needed. He was like a shield for me against all my pain. I looked down at my belly and my rage instantly renewed again. "He must pay," I repeated, my eyes blazing with intensity, narrowed into determined slits. "Who," Zane asked, drawing my hands to his. He stood up at that point, wiping tears away from my eyes. I gave no reply to his question, my mouth set in a thin, resolute line. I was getting more depressed, considering the fact that Rowen could be living the life of his dreams as the Alpha of a pack that didn't evenbelong to him. Thoughts of him kept me pained, making me to resolve deeply at getting my revenge on him. "Raven," I called under my breadth. "She too must pay."At that moment Zane stood up, drawing his face to me and staring deeply into my eyes. "I'm sorry, Selena, but I must leave now," he said, standing upright. "I'll be back.""I'm leaving with you," I said, my eyes on his."What do you

Rowan's POVThe fire in the fireplace crackled as it rose, filling the entire room with a warm orange light. Shadows danced behind me as the heat in the room rose. I leaned back on my seat and turned to the painting that I had bought the other day, studying the intricate patterns on it when suddenly, the door behind me opened. "You called for me brother." I turned my head slightly and found my sister, Raven, closing the door behind her and slowly walking up to me. "Is there any problem--" "There's something I have to tell you," I said, cutting her short before she could finish speaking. "It's... something that I do not want to leave this room." Ravens brow knitted together as she crossed her hand, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and caution. She took a few steps closed to me, her gaze never leaving mine. "What is it, Rowan?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "You must keep this confidential, top secret," I continued, my eyes fixed sternly at her."I promise to

Selena's POVI took in a deep breath, the wind coming from outside my new shrine blowing into the cave, causing my dress to rustle. I ran my hands over the wolf laying down on the bed in front of me. My hand glowed white as my hand came over his chest and I felt a power surge through me into the wolf. The light from my hands rippled through his body and he let out a soft sigh. I had healed his wolf. "May the moon goddess bless the day you stepped into this pack," he said, sitting up on the bed. "Thank you.""It's a pleasure," I said with a smile as I watched him come down from the bed and head to the door. "And don't forget to pass your compliments to the Alpha. He made all these possible," I added as I waved gently at him.My mood immediately changed the moment he closed the door behind him. It's been four months since I started healing wolves in the pack and my name had spread quickly like wild fire across the breadth and depth of the entire pack and beyond. Yet I felt incomplete

Rowen's POV"Thank you," I said to the maid, watching as she picked up the tray that she had brought my food with and walked away. Sighing, I picked up the fork by the side of my plate and stabbed the meat in front of me with it.It's been three days since I revealed to my sister what was going on with me. She had sent word to a certain wolf in our pack that she believed could help, asking that he bring the news of my predicament to the wolf in Moonstone pack. We were waiting for his response. I plopped the piece of meat that I had cut off into my mouth and began chewing on it when the door in front of me suddenly opened. I looked up and found Raven entering the room, her eyes scanning the place. "There's no one in here," I said to her as I returned my attention back to the food on my plate. "The talk went well," Raven stated as she fully entered the room, shutting the door from the hearing of others. "He has agreed to help." My attention still on my food, I nodded as I cut out an

Selena's POV"If I heard you clearly, you're here by the order of your Alpha, and you wish to secretly convey me to your pack?" I asked the man standing in front of me, my brows slightly furrowed. "Yes, my lord," he replied, his head bowed and his hand brought before him. A spell from the Pack's witch helped disguised me as a male whenever members of other packs come around for help. My true gender was a mystery to foreigners, as my pack members kept to their word that they wouldn't reveal my true identity to anyone, so I enjoyed the mystery that surrounded my reputation. "And what's the name of your pack again?" I asked him, noting his choice of dressing. "I was sent by the Alpha of Mystic shadow pack, my lord, and with me are the numerous gifts and presents he asked me to offer you," he replied, just as a guard brought bags of gemstones and carats of gold. He smiled as it was brought in, seemingly hoping that I would fall for all the brightness."Hmm," I grunted as I stroke my c

Selena’s POV"You will act on his desperation," Zane said. I looked up at him, not sure of what meant by that."What do you mean? He's an established Alpha that would certainly address me as a male wolf," I replied, moving shifting a little so that I could see his face. "So how do I act on his desperation?""Hmm," he said, his eyes leaving mine for a moment. Returning them back, he asked, "tell me, what do you think he likes the most? What gives him pleasure more than anything else?"I stood up from my seat and walked very slowly to the other end of the room, my eyes staring into the empty space before me. "Power, money.... but mostly power," I said, staring at the painting of Zane's father, clad in armor and sitting on a horse. "What he wants the most is the desire to rule.""Power, you say?" I turned back and saw a smile spreading across Zane's face. "He can't be the alpha if his wolf is dead. Surely he can't, can he?""Of course he can't. He would be seen as a weak tool, unable to

Rowan's POV"We have to!!!""No we can't, especially not with the papers," Raven retorted, folding her hands. We had already tidied the place up, discarding and burning the second body the previous day."Come on, Raven, we surely do not know what his intentions are, and to stay back here without a wolf is more deadly than taking the risk," I said calmly, trying to make her see the sense in what I was saying."Do you wish to lose your position as alpha of this pack?""No one is losing any position!!!" I was already getting furious at her insane taste for power.A knock on the door of the study sent a cold shiver down my spine. I shared a glance with Raven who was equally astonished. Had another guard eavesdropped on our conversation again?I walked towards the door, my sword behind me. The knock came again, this time more intense."Greetings my lord," a guard said with a low bow as soon as I pulled the door open. "It's time for the council meeting with the elders of the pack.""Alright

Rowan's POV"No, my Lord, I refuse to be part of this!!" Elder Thompson protested, getting up. "We can't afford the time of staying idle and letting them gather alliances...." He paused, obviously weighing his next words. "Permit me to say this, my Lord, but you seem to be dull in all your decisions today and it's...""Oh, I won't take that from you, Elder Thompson," Raven said, getting up and pointing at him, her eyes turning blood red. He didn't budge, not even looking towards her direction as he continued. "You know what I mean, Alpha Rowen. Your approach to a pressing matter such as this is unfound. I believe that something is wrong somewhere." He paused, looking around. I observed as all the other elders nodded in support of what he said."Enough of all these, Elder Thompson," I said, trying my best to die the entire thing down. "I understand what you mean fully, but you have to see that we need to have all the rights by our side. Things like this require time and strategic thin

Rowan's POVI became desperate, my blood running fast as I took quick uncontrolled steps towards her."Look, your life lies in my palms," I began to say, signalling the warriors to let go of her hands as I stared deep into her eyes. "Tell me what to do, and I'll honor your stay here. "She gave out a loud laugh, her fangs visible. She looked deep into my eyes, squinting hers. "And how do you think I'll be interested in such an offer?"I was confused. " Wait, you hate your life?"She shook her head vehemently, taking steps away from me.Ignoring my question, she headed to the throne. The guards that stood with her were alarmed as they attempted to rush to her, their claws shot out, but I restricted them, watching her closely.She moved around strangely like one possessed of several wolves."You wish to fight against the principles of prophesy, Rowan, " she said, giving out a mirthless laugh and taking a quick turn to face me. "You'd lead yourself sooner or later to your own downfall."

Rowan's POVWell, well, well," Kael said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Look what we have here. The great Alpha Rowan, risen from the dead."I aimed the knife at Kael, my eyes locked on his. "You're not going to be the new alpha, Kael," I growled, my voice low and menacing. "Not while I'm still alive."Kael's expression changed, his eyes narrowing as he realized I was a threat to his plans. He sneered at me, his claws shooting out as he gave a hissing sound"We'll see about that, Rowan," Kael said, his voice dripping with malice. "Let's settle this once and for all."I smiled, my eyes locked on Kael's. "I'm ready for you, Kael," I said, my voice steady and calm. "Let's end this."And with that he rushed towards me, his fangs shooting out and his eyes turning blood red. I stood still, a smile still flickering on my face. This would be a very short fight, and I knew it.He got to me, wiping his claws as I expected directly on the cut part of my hand.I smiled, releasing the knife I

Rowan's POVI broke the surface, gasping for air, and that's when I saw them. Three giant crocodiles, their eyes fixed on me, their jaws open wide. They were heading straight for me, their powerful tails propelling them through the water.My heart skipped a beat, and I felt a wave of panic wash over me. I was trapped, stuck in the water with no way to defend myself. The crocodiles were closing in, their teeth bared and ready to strike.I knew I had to act fast, or I would be dinner. But my mind was a blank, my thoughts frozen in fear. I was paralyzed, unable to move or react.And then, just as all hope seemed lost, I felt my wolf surge to the forefront. It was a primal, instinctual response, one that took over my body and mind.I snarled, baring my teeth, and prepared to face the crocodiles head-on. It was a desperate, last-ditch effort, but it was all I had."We're gonna die!!" the flippant warrior screamed in panic, his eyes completely shot." You have to stay strong!!" I roared bac

Rowan's POV"It's your turn, your majesty," Kael called out loud, and I couldn't help but notice a ting of envy and animosity lying beneath his voice.I shot a quick glance at him, noting with the moonlight how a flicker of smile had spread through his face. But was that the case or was I only seeing seeing things?I breath in real hard, turning to glance at the other two warriors standing with me. The faithful lad who helped tend my cut was ever scared, taking a step backwards and shivering in complete fright."You're the Alpha aren't you? Think of a way out of this mess!! " the flippant warrior chipped, running his eyes over me and taking fearful steps backwards all the same. I knew for sure he felt I couldn't win him in a fair fight with one hand chopped off.But he'd live to see that, or so I hoped."We must be strong, young ones," I managed to say. taking steps again towards the water bank. "If they on the other side could do it, then surely we can!!"I turned around to them, rea
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 183
Rowan's POVI could feel the pain coursing through my body, but it was nothing compared to the shock and unbelief that I felt.How could this have happened? I was the Alpha, the strongest and most powerful werewolf in the pack. I was supposed to be invincible, not some maimed and crippled creature.I looked up at my warriors, who were staring at me in shock and horror. I could see the fear in their eyes, the doubt and uncertainty. And in that moment, I knew that everything had changed. I was no longer the invincible Alpha, but a wounded and vulnerable creature."Alpha Rowan!!" three of the young warriors among the rest of the warriors called, taking quick steps forward to me.As they walked up to me, I looked up at the warriors scattered before me, noting with pleasure that most of the old generation of fighters were killed in the just ended battle with mysticshadow pack.I still had a chance to the throne, a chance to control them all and lord over them.With expert hands and a sense
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 182
Rowan's POVI had managed to rally my warriors back to my side, and as we trudged through the forest between mysticshadow pack and Redmoon back, my mind and thoughts travelled back to the words and prophesies of the werewolf I held captive."We must get to her... quick," I whispered to no one in particular, but my lead warrior caught the sound of my voice, as he ran towards me with utmost speed and devotion."To who, my lord?" he asked, his unusual aura of loyalty and complete devotion making me to turn to him with a quick glance."The prisoner," I replied dryly, halting at the same time. We had gotten to the river bank that crossed over to the boundaries of Redmoon pack, and noting the darkness of the night, I understood that if we were to cross over the water, then we'd do so with utmost care to avoid being eaten by the crocodiles. The warriors with me halted too, understanding the situation at hand."Warriors, If we must to cross this body of water, then we must do so with our liv

Selena's POVIt was getting all intense, as Karen brought herself so low in Zane's presence."I refuse to believe this!! You're my sister, my flesh and blood," Zane said, placing his hands on the desk adjacent his large bed."On the 22nd of May 1956, Karen was born into the noble family of Ethan, the lead councillor to Alpha Steve,"Karen read, her voice as calm as the summer waters.Zane looked fed up Karen and it caused him to turn around slowly. "What's that? I've had enough of your antics and schemes Karen, won't you give up already?"" Look!! This here contains the emblem of the ancient healer of Cyprus pack, the very last one to prophesy that the Chosen one would come from our continent!!"I watched in awe, noting from where I hid that the emblem looked authentic, a true seal from healers and infirmaries.Zane took the paper from her hands with a rush, peering through it and dilating his eyes in awe."No," he whispered, "this can't be, this just can't be."Karen became sultry aga
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 180
Selena's POVThis just couldn't be. I felt my heart and love for Zane shatter into a million pieces right in front of me."You'd lose the love of your life too," Karen had whispered into my ears earlier. It made much sense now. But she was his sister.What the hell was going on?I couldn't take it anymore I thought, but somehow I still felt drawn and attached to the scene. I couldn't make up much from there I stood, but it made nothing but sense to me. Their face was just too drawn to each other, their lips enveloped in each other's.Judging rather quickly, I turned around to flee. I would leave them to their disgusting affair. Yes. I'd flee back to my pack, where my werewolves await me and are willing to love me as much a I love them.Sealing up my mind and heart to do such and readying my feet to move away from Zane's room, something happened that changed it all."Away from me, thou slut!!" Zane roared, pushing Raven away from him.This made me turn back to face them, wondering wha
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 179
Selena's POVAs I concentrated, a flood of memories burst forth in my mind's eye. I saw myself back as a young and lost werewolf when I first touched the Aeges stone.The surge of power filled me again, followed by a good chunk of my memory.And I saw myself healing this guard, my hands moving deftly over his wounds, channeling the power of the moon goddess to mend his broken flesh.The guard's eyes widened in amazement as he felt the healing energy coursing through his body. "I'm being healed!" he exclaimed, his voice full of wonder.I smiled, my eyes still closed, as I felt the guard's wounds begin to close. I could sense the pain and inflammation receding, replaced by a warm, soothing sensation.As I finished the healing, I opened my eyes to see the guard looking at me with a mixture of gratitude and awe. "Thank you, Selena," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "Thank you so much!! Oh, I'm alive again!!"I beamed with smile and sense of satisfaction as he said this, the joy of a
