The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 29
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 POVSlumping back into my chair, my eyes locked into Raven's. Her expression was calm, but her eyes couldn't help betray a flickering of concern."A she?" she asked, her eyes narrowed and her voice measured. "Maybe you didn't hear him well." I shook my head. "Or maybe he addressed her as such as a mistake," I waved my hands gently in the air, dismissing her words. "No, not at all, Raven," I muttered, sucking in air through my teeth. "I know it can't be. An Alpha making a mistake twice?!! Nahhh." I gulped down the remaining drink and tossed the empty across the room. It landed on the floor with a soft clink and rolled away. I still was very much a clear contrast to what I had picked the bottle up for. Rowan's gaze drifted towards the bottle, her mind obviously filled with everything I had said. Walking to the other side of the room, she grabbed another gin bottle and a glass from the wine shelf. "The name of the Seer is being celebrated by our pack members for helping them

SELENA'S POV "Limited?" I muttered, the fine on my face deepening as I looked around the forest, still searching where the voice was coming from. "What do you mean by that?" Just then, I heard loud chatters come from behind me. A small gasp escaped my lips as I soon realized that I was without my masks. Luckily, I brought it with me, hidden in my gown. The voices were getting closer. Hurriedly, I placed the mask over my face and muttered some spells, sealing the disguise in place and causing my entire features to change. I turned right after to see three warrior wolves walking towards me. They had their claws shot out and we're covered from head to toe with blood. "And the rogues thought they could get me," one of the warriors said with a laugh, causing the others to join him. "The fool came at me and I swiped my claws at him..." he swiped his claws in the air, staining some of the trees around him with drops of blood, "... and it didn't take too long for him to drop dead."

Selena's POVAs we walked into the pack house, I tried to avoid Zane's gaze. His gentle talk as we walked and genuine interest in my affairs only made me more determined to conceal my fears.Telling him about what the warrior wolf said before leaving would surely cause a dispute between the two and I wasn't sure I was ready to do that all because of a feeling. "Selena. What's eating you up?" he asked, seemingly jolting me out of my inner struggles.My eyes widened, and my jaws clenching in surprise. "Oh, nothing, I just didn't hear your call," I said, my mouth parting only slightly."I can see that you're really deeply worried about something but you decide to hide it from me." He stopped abruptly on his tracks and looked around suspiciously. "Tell me," he whispered, "are you fed up with their faces?" He pointed at the faces of the guards and werewolves around. "At the slightest command any one of your choice would be slain."I forced myself to chuckle slightly at his attempt at a jo

Selena's POVIt all all happened so fast. The stab, the blood."Zane!!" I screamed, running up to him. His hands were wrapped expertly on the cut as he tried to wade off the masked intruder of the room.Grabbing a nearby candelabra, I hurled it at the assassin, striking him off balance. Zane took advantage of his position, landing a decisive blow on him and tearing the mask off his face.The intruder stumbled backwards, his hood falling away. He tried to cover his face with an arm, the shadows playing a role in obscuring his face.Zane landed another fatal blow on him, sending him finally to the ground. The force of his blow however caught him off balance, causing him to fall beside the intruder, the impact of the cut weighing him down."Zane, no!" I exclaimed, running towards him and dropping on my knees beside him. Blood seeped between his fingers, staining his shirt. The cut had really left a deep gash.Without hesitation, I placed my hands gently on the wound, trying to concentra

Selena's POVAll eyes turned towards the entrance as a figure emerged from the darkness, walking steadily towards us. All the warriors stood up, their claws shooting up simultaneously as they prepared for defence against the intruder."Gentle now, friends, I've not come to harm you," he paused, then added, "not yet at least. "Rowan!!I recognized his voice instantly, jolting as I did so. "No, he must not see my face," I said, bending my head and putting on my hood. "You just walked into our council, our most secret gathering. You must leave at this instant." Zane's brow furrowed as he said this, his fangs shooting out."Now, now, Alpha Zane. I've not come all the way here for you to send me out. You must hear me. " He walked towards the throne, walking past me be stopping."Hmm, you smell familiar.""Cut to the chase and leave, we are in the middle of a serious meeting that would determine the safety of our pack!! " Zane roared."Of course," Rowan replied, passing me and walking ste

Rowan's POVThat smell, it was just too strong. I stopped halfway through the hallway. Trying hard to recall where I had seen that wolf, I felt a part of me bonded partially to the wolf."Now I miss my old wolf," I said, my eyebrows slightly furrow, conveying a hint of longing. I walked past the hallway, my mind drifting to memories of my former mate.Selena.Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. I stopped, stretching my hand towards the fire torch and putting it off. I masked myself with the darkness around the hallway, reducing my breathing.The sound of the footsteps became louder as I stood there. I sniffed slowly, perceiving a similar smell with what I perceived back in Zane's chamber."Time to unmask the wolf behind the cloak," I said to myself as I stood there in the darkness.The sound of the footsteps suddenly wasn't heard again, and I took a deep breath. The werewolf must have noticed that it was being stalked.Without thinking much, I stepped out with speed out of my hidin

Selena's POVThe trees and leaves were all scattered around as I trekked through the dense forest, trying to find the right path. I had walked for hours, the urge from my wolf inconsistent. Whenever I tried to turn back or reverse my footsteps back to the pack the urge to find whatever I was to find would come back, stronger and more refined than the previous. The forest grew darker, the sounds of nocturnal creatures intensifying. As I trudged deeper, I stumbled over roots and fallen branches, the strange silence in the forest boarders swallowing me. I thought about the guards that were assigned at the boarder, and a sudden tension gripped me. "They'll be fought if the need arises," a sudden voice whispered. Obviously noting that despair had begun to overwhelm me, the voice broke out into a melodious song, one that was hauntingly beautiful, with a gentle soothing quality that seemed to calm my frizzled nerves."You sing too?" I said, more to myself as I didn't expect a reply from

Rowan's POV"Your out of your mind Rowan," one of the warriors interjected. " We can't just sit here and fold our arms."I turned to him. "I've not said such. Sitting around and folding our arms would lead us to a more effective doom. No not that." I turned to to Nathan. " We have to fight smartly my lord."He was growing impatient, and I could feel it . "And how do we suppose to do that?" he asked." We need to use our warriors wisely, not just throw them into battle like a cannon fodder just like you intend to, " I replied, hoping that he would dance to my tone.And he did."How dare you question my style?" He thundered, taking steps towards me. The raised platform he stood on made him look tall and devouring, but I tried to picture an equal opponent. "I know them more than you do, believe it or not Nathan," I replied calmly.He paused, his devouring stance changing instantly to one of a dull child. His eyes widening in stunned silence, he whispered. "You do?"I stood confidently.

Rowan's POVAs we followed the command to return to base, the chaos in the dungeon slowly began to recede, thousands of prisoners and warriors fallen.Raven took notice of this, as her hold on my arm tightened. "They're attack from the front seem to have....""Receded, and that's a major tactics of mysticshadow pack. " I paused, taking a look at her. "Selena's here. "Raven and I pushed our way through the army of warriors that stormed towards the pack house. Silently I rehearsed the words I would lay before Nathan to convince him to accept me in his army. That would give me the right weapon of protection.Turning to a corner, we suddenly caught sight of Nathan standing in a raised up platform. His eyes scanned through all the warriors as he barked orders on them all."....... recall to take cover behind the Eastern wall. That's the easily penetrable part of the pack!! ," he yelled. " Hold up the warriors there until reinforcements arrive!!"His hands were behind his back as he walked

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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 128
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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 127
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 eyes snapped towards the door, and she took two steps backwards with haste just as a sea of warriors poured into the room. Th
