The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 38
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

Selena's POV"Selena, is that you?" I heard someone call from outside the room. I turned my head towards the door, recognizing the voice immediately. It was Zane. " Selena?" he called again, this time louder as he pushed open the door to the room and rushed in. He searched the room as he entered, the tension in his expression easing as his gaze fell on me. "Xaren, Xaren," I called again, ignoring Zane as I briskly walked to the window in the room. My right hand covering my mouth, I looked down the window, several thoughts flooding my mind.Would I remain like this forever? How did Xaren get the ability to summon my wolf? The spell back at the dungeon... I had given him permission. I felt my stomach churn as my mind filled with more thoughts. What would he do with my powers in him? How would Zane react to this?"Selena," Zane called as he walked towards me. His hands rested on my shoulder as he pulled me gently away from the window. "We've tumbled the whole pack and beyond searching

Selena's POVIt's been more than three hours since Zane left me to myself. Different servant wolves had been sent to my room, asking that I come down to eat but I ignored all of them. I didn't need anyone to tell me the knock on my door was another. "Leave me alone," I croaked. It had been so long since I had spoken that my own voice sounded strange to my ears-perhaps because of the constant crying. "Alpha Zane asked to come let you know that dinner is ready," came the voice from behind my door. I had heard those words so much now that I practically mouthed it them along with the servant.My stomach rumbled, a testament to the fact that I had not tasted anything in a long time. I clutched my belly, ignoring the grumbles as I tried to take my attention off it. I knew going down for dinner would mean meeting Zane-and that was something I wasn't sure I was ready to do. My guilt would just eat me up more."I'm not hungry," I muttered as I turned on my bed. The servant outside hesitated

Selena's POVI wandered round the pack house, a ghost of my former self. My footsteps echoed round the almost deserted corridors, the recent events haunting me.A mirror hung in the hallway and I stopped to look at my image that formed in it. My eyes, once bright with purpose, now reflected deeply the turmoil that was within me. My shoulders were slumped, weighed down from the burden of the mistakes I made.A group of female werewolves passed by. I recognized them all, and I straightened my shoulders. They all passed without offering their usual greetings to me as the Seer."How news spread so quicky," I muttered to myself as I watched them walk by. Sighing, I turned, drifting outside and into the garden attached to the rails.In the gardens, the moon cast an eerie glow on the manicured lawns while my gaze wandered, lost in thought. My mind drifted back to the times when father was still the Alpha of my pack, how he always cautioned me to be careful when laying trust on others.'You t

Selena's POVSinking into the darkness of sleep, the mysterious message swirled in my mind. Pondering deeply on it, I got more perplexed. But as I drifted deeper into slumber, something shifted in me.In my subconscious, my mind began to weave the threads together.'Beyond shadows, seek the heart. "Xaren lived in the Shallow of the heart pack. At least I got to know that from the guards. "Shallow of the heart..hmmm" I murmured, getting up and sitting upright on the bed.I knew for sure that the words were not mere letters."The heart, the heart..." I repeated, a mental picture forming upstairs.The Heart Oak.That was the very tree marked as the symbol for the pack's strength, planted just opposite the cave wherein the Aeges stone was kept."What has this got to do with the Heart oak?" I asked myself as I pondered on the issue. Thinking about the tree, I slowly began to picture it's general appearance in order to possibly find more clues.Its gnarled branches seemed to reach out,

Zane's POVPacing the confines of my chamber, I watched as the shadows cast by the flickering candles danced like restless spirits.I made effort to take away my mind from the conflicting emotions warring beneath. Anger, regret and frustration topped the list, each tangling together like the thorns of a long forgotten rose. My thoughts, drifting back endlessly to Selena, pictured her eyes filled with the fire that had once drawn me to her. I had been harsh, too harsh on her. my words cutting deeper than intended. "Damn it," I muttered, hitting my fist against the wall. The memories of her hurt expression lingered deep in me, a constant reminder of my failings. I stopped pacing around after several hours through the night, walking to the window and noting the slow but steady ascension of the sun into the sky.It was morning already.I suddenly felt a pang of longing, a desire to get to her, to bridge of chasm that had grown between us.I turned away from grocery window, my eyes sc

Zane's POV"We're ready, my Lord, what are your orders?" the lead warrior asked, marching forward. I stopped pacing, my gaze sweeping through the hall and into the eyes of all the warriors. They all looked ready to lay down their lives for my cause. At that moment I felt an inner comfort, after a long time. I had warriors!!"We need to find Selena. She's in danger and I don't know for sure what lays in front of her."Murmurs broke out among the warriors, as each of them shared glaces among themselves to my uttermost surprise.I cleared my throat to call their attention to me. "What's going on?" I asked. "Is anything the problem?""Not at all, my Lord. Only that we thought Selena wasn't part of your concerns any more, " the lead warrior summoned up to say.I looks utterly surprise and innocent at this statement. "What do you mean?""We all heard the verdict by the elders, my Lord, and we thought she was no longer the Seer of our pack and therefore her concerns and whereabouts should

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

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 eyes snapped towards the door, and she took two steps backwards with haste just as a sea of warriors poured into the room. Th
