The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 32
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

Selena's POVI turned around, carefully observing the dungeon and it's marks. It was definitely a labyrinth of abyss shrouded in darkness and despair. My mind drifted back to the strange unfamiliar figure sitting on the floor opposite me, his knee angled and his hand resting on it. He had blisters and sores on them, testaments to the time he had spent down here. His head was bent when he called my name. Walking up to him, I couldn't fail to recognize the chains that bounded his ankles. Iron cuffs circled his wrists, etched with runes. The chains rattled as they scraped the ground, following his every toss and turn on the ground. Clearly, he was discomforted."You've come as destiny permits," I heard him say said, his head still bent low. Somehow I could detect an aura of quiet power surrounding him. "Destiny? What destiny?" I asked him, feeling drawn as I squatted beside him. The air was heavy with a stench of decay, mold and forgotten centuries. It took an effort to stabilize in t

Selena's POV'W-what's this I see? What such great power can the rogues possess to wage such war against the entire wolf race?' I asked him.'The destiny of all the packs lies in your hand. You alone can reverse the trend, look, and you'll see,' he communicated, his eyes unblinking. 'What do you want me do?" I asked, my brows furrowed as different thoughts crossed my mind. 'Should I inform the alpha of moonstone pack?' The man's eyes unwavering, he replied, 'trust not me, but the fate of those packs. The rogue surge will not discriminate. Every pack, every life, will be lost if I remain captive.'As our gazes held, the dungeon's darkness seemed to recede, replaced by a sense of shared purpose. Feeling the weight of the man's words, the burden of the entire werewolf race filled me.Licking my lips, I adjusted my stance and repeated, 'I ask again, what do you want me do?''The obvious, let me go. I'll be free to work tirelessly against their plans. I just need to return to my pack,'

Serena’s POV"Wait," the leader called. Taking steps towards us, his torch danced, it's flames travelling before him. He raised my chin again, looking deep into my eyes. "What a fair lady we have here," he said, smiling and tilting his head towards me. His breath reeked of stale and decay. "Well, well, well," another sneered as I moved my head backwards to avoid the oozing smell coming from the firsts mouth. His voiced was laced with malice as he spoke. "Looks like we've got ourselves a little escape artist," he joked, laughing at the top of his voice. The other guards trembled as he made the joke, for at that point they must have recognized fully that I was the seer.My eyes flashed in defiance, but the guard's gaze lingered, his eyes filled with lust. "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" the first mumbled as he leaned in, his voice taking a menacing tone. "I like that.""My lord, perhaps we should lead her to the cell right away. The day is expired," one of the other trembling guard

Karen's POV"Well spill it you!!" Rowan roared, already getting desperate.The guard stammered. "Getting to the gates I saw another letter the same paper making with the last... "I pulled it from his hands and glanced through it before he finished."Meet me at the Crescent valley of blood or I'll expose you all!! You stole her powers Karen, now your wolf is insane. If you want to get back to your r former state, meet me there by dusk. Perhaps the healing power would return... just perhaps."I read it loud." The powers Karen, think about it!! We'd kill the bloody messenger as soon as we get what we want, and this all would end!!" Rowan exclaimed as soon as I dropped the letter." Then what about the attack? " I asked him. Something just didn't feel right about all this, and I couldn't point it out.Rowan scoffed, a cloud of desperation hovering around his eyes. "What damn attack Karen? With the healing powers back we would rule the werewolf world and beyond!!" he roared, his claws sh
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 208
Karen's POVHaving been in Redmoon pack for five days, hunting and eating with them, I was beginning to feel sick of it all.I waited, day after day and night after night for news from the party of packs that attacked Moonstone pack, but nothing was coming forth."Battles take days, sometimes weeks," Rowan would always say. " Give them time Karen. Moonstone pack would be in our palms in just a matter of days, Selena dead!!"I always felt relieved whenever he talked about the death of Selena, but on the morning of the fifth day, I couldn't take it anymore."We need to get to them Rowan!! I can't stand this anymore," I said to him as soon as I got to his chamber.Still with his pipe, he turned his attention to me and puffed."Tell me Karen. What chance does Moonstone pack have to win the war waged against them? " he asked, taking in some more from the pipe.I shot a gaze at him, trying all I could to restrict the joyful smile that tried to form on my face."They have no chance Rowan...
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 207
Karen's POV"You have no goddamn right to attack any one here!!"That was the first sound I heard, my head spinning like a canon ball had hit me hard.I slowly opened my eye, me head throbbing with a a dull headache."You heard me right you bitch!! Never must you attack anyone here in Redmoon pack, " the voice repeated, louder than the last. I was still trying to open my eyes but I felt a surge of confusion as I did so.The voice was familiar, and as I struggled to make out who it was, I finally looked up.It was Rowan. What was he up to this time, I wondered within me.His face was twisted in a snarl and as he raised his hand, my eyes dilated."You!!!" he started to roar as his hand descended towards me.As if in cue, my wolf stirred almost immediately and before his hand could get to me, I had already grabbed it in a quick reflex.Fully awake, I roared at him. "Don't you dare!!" I got up from what I figured out to be a bed and stared at him, wondering where all that came from.My
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 206
Chapter 206The battlefield was filled with chaos. The entire place was filled with the cry of my men as they fell to the ground, bloodied, bruised and some dead. Growls and the sound of flesh being cut tore through the thick air and the scent of blood and churned earth filled the entire atmosphere. My gaze swept over the field, my claws withdrawn from my hands as I watched the rest of Rowan's deserters close in on us, large swords, axes and arrows by their side, the sharp metal gleaming in the weak light of dawn. That was why they seemed endless. They were just dying, but more were diverging from the war with Zane go come here. A low growl escaped my lips, my face squeezing into a deep frown as I jumped down from my horse. One of the warriors rode towards me, a bow and arrow in their hand. The arrow was shot towards me but I quickly grabbed it midair and threw it back at him. Before he could register what was happening, the sharp metal sunk into his head and he dropped down dead.
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 205
Selena's POVBefore the sun had even begun to rise, I had already rounded up the warriors who had pledged to fight with me. The morning air held a stale scent that seemed fresh of combat and blood, a harsh reminder of the war that still laid ahead of us. I stood at the center of the packs training fields, and with me were the warriors—men and women who had previously been divided but now were with me. They had a mixture of determination and skepticism in their eyes. I knew there were those who still doubted, but I could not allow skepticism to take root among us."Mount your horses," I commanded, my voice firm. "We ride out now."They took their places, marching to the stables where our horses already waited saddled and prepared. I had ordered the stable lads to ensure that each horse was in prime order for the forthcoming long ride and they had toiled all through the night to do so. Fresh hay mixed with morning due, the sound of waiting hooves, and the sweat of warriors fastening
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 204
Selena’s POVAs we approached, the guards stationed at the gates of Mysticshadow Pack immediately tensed, their hands tightening around the weapons they held by their side. The lit torches hung on the wall flickered in the night, casting ominous shadows on their stern faces. I could see the hesitation in their eyes. They seemed like new guards as I didn't recognize them, but from their scent, I knew they were one of us.I knew they recognized me, but there was some underlying tension in their gazes as they stared at me. I knew something had happened since I had last stepped foot here.But they still knew better than make a move. “Halt!” one of them commanded, stepping forward, his claws half drawn. His sharp gaze scanned me from head to toe. “State your business.”“Are you dumb?” I muttered through clenched teeth as I walked towards the guard. “I came to gather alliances. The Moonstone Pack is under siege, and we must unite to stop the war.”The guard hesitated for a moment when he

Zane's POVIt was a scene from a battlefield, the packhouse transformed into a killing ground. And I, Zane, was powerless to stop it. All I could do was watch in horror as my pack, my friends, and my family were slaughtered before my very eyes.The flaming arrows seemed to come from everywhere, a relentless barrage of fire that seemed to never end. It was as if the very stars themselves were falling from the sky, each one a deadly missile aimed straight at our hearts.And I, Zane, was the only one who could stop it. But how? The question echoed through my mind, a desperate cry for help that seemed to go unanswered.I wished at that point that Selena would just walk in with her warriors.We desperately needed them. I sighted a flaming arrow travelling towards an elderly werewolf who used his back to protect his offsprings. It was travelling towards him with speed."Look out!!" I roared, but he was too old to move, to weak to. Rushing towards him, I stretched my hand and grabbed the ar
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 202
Zane's POVI took a step forward, my eyes burning with intensity. "We will not go quietly into the night. We will not roll over and surrender to our enemies. We will fight, with every ounce of strength we possess. We will fight for our pack, for our families, and for our very lives."The crowd erupted into a chorus of cheers and applause, their faces set with determination and their eyes burning with a fierce hunger for battle. I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and purpose wash over me.We would fight, and we would win. We would defend our pack, and our way of life. We would emerge victorious, or we would die trying.I was still filled with such encouragment and purposeful passion that I hadn't felt since I was a young child when a warrior from the borders ran up to one of the elders.I knew that something wasn't right, and as I waited for words to reach me, I looked up to the sky. My mind suddenly drifted to a distant past,very distant."You can tell it all by looking up in the nigh
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 201
Zane's POVAs I watched Selena walk away from me, I gasped softly, my heart palpitating. Karen was no longer considered as a sister, and she would dearly pay for all these,but first, I have several battles to win.I walked back to the large hall, and I watched as the healers tried all they could to revive the fallen warriors."We're nothing without the seer," one of the healers said softly as I approached her, her eyes fixed pleadingly on me."What's the situation?" I asked, squatting beside her and paying a dead ear to her earlier complaint."I've found his pulse Alpha," she said in a whisper, placing her hand on the guard's wrist and shutting her eyes slowly. "His wolf is fully alive!!""So?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows as I stared at her. " What stops you then?"She looked down dejectedly, her face long. "We all have tried, but it just doesn't work!! It's a strange art of healing to trigger his wolf to charge a pulse in his heart. "I let out a breath, glancing at the guard and
