The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 22
Selena's POVI hummed a song as I walked down the hallway leading to the meeting room. I had been searching for Zane to discuss with him how we were going to go about our next move, but I could not find him. Luckily, the guard at the front door told me that he was in the meeting chamber. I placed my hands on the wall, tracing an invisible line on the tapestries as I approached the door to the meeting room. I could hear voices coming from it and I recognized the loudest to be Zane's. He probably was meeting with some of the leaders down at the village in the eastern border. He did say they were going to have a meeting today.I opened the door and was about walking in when I saw the persons seated with Zane. My voice caught in my throat and I quickly rushed out of the room before they could turn to the door, my heart palpitating greatly.It was Rowan. What was he doing here? And why was he meeting with Zane?"What have I done?" I asked myself, worried that he sighted me. "This is it, I

Selena's POV"Enough," I said, rebuking Raven after seeing that she was being suspicious. "It takes a while to get the full effect of a change in wolf."Walking away from Rowen, I picked up the documents, the most important tool in regaining my pack from him. Pulling it open, I took out a pen and signed on it."There, seventy percent, all mine.... for the good of all wolf kind," I said, quickly adding the last part to disguise my pleasure at signing the document."Deal's done," Rowan said, stretching his arm a little and making to go out of the cave."Wait," I called and he stopped abruptly, turning to face me.Walking over to him, I said, "you have a war to fight, Rowen, and that war would surely end your rule... if you fight it alone." I said, turning away from him and walking towards the inner cave slowly."Wait, great one, what do you mean?" he asked, his voice laced with desperation."Oh, nothing to trouble you, only that you stand a chance of losing the throne if that war is fou

Selena's POV"Then we'll fight," I said, my eyes turning white in front of them all. They marvelled at this but Raven seemed to be the most excited."Gather the loyal warriors left," Rowen commanded a warrior nearby, moving into his inner chamber to get his armour ready. "The Seer is marching with us."The door closed with a soft thud, leaving I and Raven in the room. "Seer," Raven called, seductive walking toward me, her eyes loose as she leaked her lips in a weird manner.I took steps backwards, already sure what her antics were."Stay away from me," I said, moving backwards again and keeping my eyes away from her."Oh don't be old, Seer," Raven said, slapping my shoulder playfully. "I just want nothing but a favour from you.""Say it," I commanded, stretching my hands towards her and causing it to glow ominously. "But don't you come any closer." Her eyes on my hands, Raven hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly "Alright, then," she said, clasping her hands behind her back.

Selena's POVI turned back and said some incantations, my eyes instantly turning red this time. Suddenly the arrows froze up in the sky, turning ice. Muttering another incantation, the iced arrows turned and hit the wolves in the trees, sending them down to the ground. All the warriors, upon hearing loud thuds, stopped and looked back. Their war chants grew as all the bodies fell, painting the forest grounds red. "All hail the Seer!""Bless the gods for bringing him to our midst!"Words like these traveled through the crowds as they chanted their war cries louder. I searched the faces of the warriors, looking for Rowan, and then I found it. His eyes were narrowed and squinting. He was obviously envious of the chants."Enough!" he shouted as the last wolf in the tree dropped to the ground dead. He looked at the splattered body, as though it added to the effect of his envy. "We have a long fight ahead of us. Save your energy for that." The warriors promptly obeyed and moved on silent

Selena's POVI felt a sharp sensation in my chest as I stirred on what seemed to be a bed. A bright light shone on my face, preventing me from opening my eyes. I could hear faint sounds around me-the clatter of feet's, hushed voices, clinking of metals-but I just couldn't tell where it was coming from."Z-Zane," I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper as I turned on my bed, trying to ease the pain that I was feeling in my chest. "Zane... where are you?" "She's awake, thank the moon goddess," I heard someone say faintly from afar. My head hurt badly as I slowly regained consciousness."Where am I?" I asked slowly, unable to say out the words completely. Opening my eyes, I blinked rapidly. I gazed around, disoriented, taking in the environment gradually as my memory fell into place."The battle, Rowan, where am I?" I asked slowly in whispers, trying to get up."You're right with us," I heard a familiar voice say, pushing me back down on the bed. "What about the battle?" I asked, t

Selena's POV"I gave that as my last instruction before passing out.""And he followed it to the very core," Zane replied his face gradually easing off, "such a jerk he is.""Oh, stop it," I said giggling. "Now, tell me, what would be the story at the moment if he had insisted on giving an aid to me? "Zane stared blankly at me, not at the point knowing where I was heading to. "Of course it would have been discovered that I was fooling them all along," I added, making meaning to my whole suspense. "Tearing up my dress to get the arrow out would have revealed the truth to them." "Hmm," Zane muttered as he thought on my words. "So his foolishness was to our own benefit."I was about giving him a reply when I felt a sudden emptiness in my current dimension. My wolf suddenly seemed to stray out of me, stepping on the bed and jumping down. It looked back, locking eyes with me and giving a low howl. I felt the very strong urge to get up and go with it. "Selena..... Selena..... Selena!!!!

Selena's POVWalking along the pack's surrounding, I noticed that a lot of pack members failed to recognize me. "I've met that face somewhere, it looks so familiar," they would say, turning to face me but returning back to their path.Thankful for that, I kept on moving, the hood of the gown worm on by the healer covering my head. I walked and walked, following the tracks of my wolf, until I found myself outside the pack, quite close to the borders."And where to, ma'am?" a warrior, assigned by Zane to those crossing and entering through the border, asked me after finding me wandering about. My wolf instantly returned back to me."On an errand for the Alpha," I said without lifting my head."And may I see your face? " he asked, still standing put."You're going to miss your meeting with the alpha, all the warriors are... ""You won't leave here till your face is revealed, " he cautioned, walking closer to me and wrapping his hands by his sword. "Your face, miss."Slowly, I lifted my h

Rowan's POVI sank into my seat with a hard sigh. The Seer was gone now, but still, I could hear that victory chants in his name echo across the courtyard, filling the night air with a chilling energy. The warriors revered him-no, they worshipped him. Why wouldn't they? He helped us during the war, repelling most of the attacks that would have killed us in an instant. I was grateful for what he did, yet, I had this unsettling feeling within me. Yes, I was torn between admiration and the bitter taste of jealousy, but there seemed to be something... more. I shifted my gaze to my open window where the cool night breeze blew into my room from. The blast of firecrackers, the bright lights of the fireworks and the book of cannonballs signalled the beginning of the celebration feast, all that were still done in the name of the Seer, the Chosen one. A low groan escaped my lips as I adjusted myself on my seat. Stretching my hands to the small stool by my side, I grabbed my gin bottle and pl

Rowan's POV"Moonstone pack?" Raven asked, amazed as the read the writing on the arrow stick."Zane's fighting for Selena," I whispered, my gaze fixed on the wall before me, breaking the stick into two. "Buddy!!" the obese prisoner called as he leaned toward the old prisoner. He was already burning, his clothes ablaze with fire. "You'd always be in my heart buddy, always."I and Raven quickly sprang into action, the air filled with the acrid smell of burning flesh and straw."Quick!! What else did you see? Mysticshadow pack weren't the one attacking, it was Zane and his warriors, " Raven inquired desperately.The prisoner stood still, his eyebrows furrowed as he locked eyes with me. "I tell you all what I see!! Selena on a horse, her claws on fire as she rides towards Redmoon pack."I wanted to know more. "Did she win the war?"As he was about to reply a loud crash echoed through the dungeon, followed closely by that sound of scream and shouts."What was that?" Raven whispered. The w

Rowan's POVI took a look at the window, noting how small it was. It was the only source of ventilation to us there, and there was nothing we could do about it. "So what you gonna say huh?" the old prisoner asked his eyes locked at me, unblinking."So you tell me, that if you pee, you'd be slim enough to pass through this window? " I asked, desperation brewing slowly within me. I badly wanted him to see what's in for us outside and when the raid would take place."Well of course. But one thing. I'm too tall to pee on the floor. It's no fun at all, " he replied, pausing and grinning at me." So? " I asked, a hint of what he wanted to do already playing on my mind."It felt pretty good doing that stuff on your head the other time you know, " the obese prisoner said, " So what's the deal? "I stole a glance at Raven, who nodded slightly for me to do as he says. "Please you have to look through that window and tell us what you see, " I pleaded, hoping to kill them all after all this.The

Rowan's POVI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surrounding. Relieved that the nightmare about Selena and the dead child wasnt pushed into reality, I turned around to take in what I saw. I was in a damp, dimly lit cell, the surrounding made of decayed mold, rodents traveling to and fro. I tried to listen, but at first the only sound I could here was the constant dripping of liquid on a hard surface. As I struggled to regain my bearings, I looked around again, and then I noticed a figure sitting beside me.It was Raven, her eyes bold and red. "He's peeing on your head," she said, her eyes never leaving mine."Wait, what?" I whispered, the constant dripping of liquid making sense."You, better keep your head up boy!!!" a hoarse voice commanded, as he continued his act. With a single effort, my claws shot out and into space, but Raven held me back. "He's just a distraction, you wouldn't want to draw their attention, besides, he'll be of help later on " she said, pointing to

Selena's POVI woke up to the same haunting image that had been troubling me for days, Rowan's lifeless body soaked in his own pool of blood. I killed him, my dead child still in my hands. I just couldn't seem to shake off the dreadful feeling. Zane was sitting beside me, his gaze far outside the window."Again?" he asked, for I had told him about the nightmare several times."Yes Zane. He's all over the place. I look around I see him, my child. Rowan's also there, in the pool of blood, " I said, giving him a quickly summary of the dream for the umpteenth time. He turned towards me, his eyes filled with concern. "You'll be fine, when this is all over," he said."When what's all over? " I asked, unsure of what he meant. " Don't worry Selena. Take your time to heal, " he said stroking my hair.I was about to insist that he explain what he meant when a warrior burst into the room. "Greetings Alpha Zane, greeting Alpha Selena. The warriors are ready for the attack."My eyes darted ac

Rowan's POV"You like what you see?" he asked, his eyes darting to and fro and his shoulders slightly puffed up with pride."Well I must say, this is grand.""Well it is of course. You see, Alpha Darius was never a king of wants and desires. He chose simplicity, and he died so. Take a sit. "" A seat? "" Of course Rowan. You're my friend and it's only right you join me for dinner, " Nathan said, his eyes fixed on the drink before him. "This is the finest wine in the continent, and it would be a pity if I consume it alone. "What was the Beta up to? I hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do. "Beta Nathan I wish to decline this grand offer of yours. I've got some reservations.... "" Say no more, for a friend of Nathan must merry with Nathan. You've proven yourself worthy of my presence, so you deserve a treat, " Beta Nathan replied, raising his glass cup for a toast.I was beginning to enjoy his company. Great food!!

Rowan's POV"Before this council I assure you that you would certainly have been released from your chains and enlisted as a warrior of this pack if you had succeeded in killing her," the beta announced.I swallowed hard at this revelation, still not knowing where the council were heading to."So you tell us that you took away her powers and she still lives?" one of the elders asked. " And how do you expect us to believe that?" I shook my forehead, not knowing what else to say to them."She died, my lords, I killed her personally in the battle," I heard a familiar voice say.All eyes turned to the direction of the voice.It was Raven, and I wondered what she was up to."She died, I struck her with my claws in her che Ist, and she let out a loud cry and stumped on the ground, " she said, her voice soothing and convincing. "Well, you have to keep to your words, Beta Nathan," one of the elders said, turning to face the beta with a knowing look.The beta cleared his throat, taking a lo

Rowan's POV"Raven, you shouldn't have done that," I said, but she would have none of it as she ,snapped the servant's neck, making sure she had zapped life out of him before letting him go. His body crumpled on the floor with a sickening thud."Now what?" I roared, rising to my feet in rage."You're the Alpha, you have the right to give and take life," she replied. I stared at her for a moment, then I finally nodded, my mind reeling from the interruption. "Raven, I feel different, the wound hurts no more!! " I exclaimed, as I felt a new rush of energy all through my body."The healing process worked. It's power must be very strong. With this the entire werewolf race would be at your feet and you'd..... " Raven started but was cut short by the stumping sound we heard from outside. The ground beneath our feat trembled as the stumping sound got nearer. Raven eyes snapped towards the door, and she took two steps backwards with haste just as a sea of warriors poured into the room. Th

Rowan’s povAs she worked, I could feel a sort of subtle energy emanating from her hands, one that had an effect on my whole being."You'll be strong again in no time my lady, strong to take after where you've stopped, " the healer chipped in rather cheerfully."Thank you Elara," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "You've been most kind.""I learned from the very best, my lady, now lay back and enjoy the rest of the morning. You'd be back on your fit, ready to heal the pack of it's bruises with your healing power and the help of the moon goddess," she said, grinning from ear to ear.Her last words struck me like a hot metal in my heart.I've lost my powers, and they didn't know that yet. Rowan's POVI felt satisfied at last. With Selena's powers I was sure to conquer not only her pack, but other packs in the continent and possibly the whole werewolf world. Slowly, I opened my eyes, wincing in pain as I did so. The bright light of the sun pierced through my brain, sending a ba

Rowan's POVJust as I thought all was lost, I heard a faint voice, a voice that seemed to come from far away. "Selena, we have to get you out of here!" It was Zane's voice, and I felt a surge of anger. I heard the sound of fighting, the clash of claws and the snarls of the warriors. Zane and his warriors had arrived, and they were fighting to protect Selena.I was beyond caring. My world had narrowed down to a single point, a point of intense pain and darkness. I was vaguely aware of the battle raging on, but it was distant, unimportant.As the darkness closed in around me, I heard the sound of Zane's voice, faint but clear."He dared to take your powers?" he roared, then everything went blank again.Selena's POVI slowly opened my eyes, taking in my surroundings groggily. I noticed first the warm stream of sun rays streaming in through the window. In an attempt to clear the haze from my eyes, I blinked severally. Where was I?I shut my eyes again, trying hard to recall what happene
