The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 41
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

Selena's POVGuiding the horse through the hidden entrance, the darkness enveloped me. I felt a shiver run through my spine as I wasn't in familiar grounds. I put my right hand round the amulet of Eldrid as I scanned the whole space. The air grew thick with a eerie, magical energy that seemed to vibrate in and out of me. The powers and magic round the place seemed to ignite the amulet of Eldrid, as it suddenly began to pulse with power, illuminating the path ahead. I felt a sudden sense of trepidation intertwined with determination. The determination to get back my powers from Xaren.A village suddenly appeared in front of me, one that was unlike any I had ever seen before. Buildings, looking strange seemed to grow organically from the ground, their walls gnarled like living trees. their roofs radiated a deep blue, shimmering with a strange glow.Turning round, I could see magical creatures moving about, wolves seperated from their bodies moved about, their forms blurring and shiftin

Selena's POVI closed my eyes, helpless and preparing for the end. But just as all my hope seemed to be lost, a fierce growl echoed through the whole village. A massive gray wolf burst into the fray. His first was bristling with rage. "Zane?" I called, quite surprised and relieved at the same time.He tore through the rogues effortlessly, his claws flashing in the quick light from the sun. His jaws snapped with deadly precision as he sent them all to the ground."You set me up!! You won't get away with this!!" Xaren cried, raising his legs higher as he attempted to step on my neck with full force.Zane, noticing this charged at Xaren. He reached us right on time, pushing Xaren away from me as they both stumbled on the ground near.I turned around, seeing no warrior from our pack.Zane came alone.I watched as Zane and Xaren clashed, Xaren's eyes widening in surprise. Their bodies locked in a fierce battle. The rogues scattered in their usual manner, fleeing in terror. The white wo

Selena's POVI charged at Zane, my wolf, controlled by Xaren, determined to kill him. "You can't be doing this, Selena. Think about all... " he paused as I reached him, striking him real hard with my claws. It tore his face again. "Think about the Aeges stone. Think about your role as the Seer of the pack. "" You must die! " I screamed, still controlled by the influence of Xaren."Look, the rogues are out again. You can't have them all see you commit such atrocity. Step out out of this, Selena. Think, think about the love we share," Zane pressured, still dodging all my attempts.His last words struck a cord, helping me reach out against my wolf."It's seems impossible Zane. I just can't help it. "" You can, just concentrate and you'll break free, " Zane replied, still dodging my attempts at his life. With a surge of effort, I pushed back against Xaren's magic, my wolf's instincts taking back its place within me as I regained control of my body."No.. this can't be.." Xaren murmure

Karen's P.O.VI bursted into the throne room, my heart beating hard against my ribs as the scene back at the forest kept on replaying in my head. I took in deep breaths as I felt like my lungs were about to fail me. I tried to breathe in but I did so too fast and ended up choking. I tried to compose myself, but what met my eyes blew away my last remnant of restraint.A shirt gasp escaped my lips as I froze in place. Selena and Zane.Not only had they left me behind in MysticShadow Pack, but they were also entangled with each other, right here in the sacred throne room!'No. this can't be happening,' I thought to myself as different thoughts raced through my mind. "Selena!! Zane!!" I roared as my voice echoed off the grand marble walls. "What the hell is going on here?!" They were wrapped in a passionate embrace, with Selena's fingers dancing around the locks of Zane's hair, while his hands clasped her around the waist as though wanting to never let go. They shared a passionate kiss
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 160
Selena's POVI sat on the throne reserved for the Luna of the pack, the long hair that was prepared for me cascading down my back like a river of sunset dues.Sitting just beside me was my heart throb, Alpha Zane, the grand and prosperous Alpha of Moonstone pack. He was all there could ever be to me, my epitome of strength and grace.His presence commanded power and strength all around, and I couldn't help but steal glances at him. His piercing blue eyes seemed to see right through everything he set his gaze on, and it sparkled with a sense of amusement that sent calm chills through all those he spoke with.I watched as his chiseled features were set in a calm and serene expression. But deep down I knew that beneath that tranquil surface lay a depth of emotion, a sort of passion that only I was lucky enough to experience.Seeming noticing my continuous stare at him, he sharply turned to me, a smile growing on his face.As I continued to gaze at him, I felt my heart swell in admiration

Karen's POVI couldn't surpress the anger and defiance I felt at the strange warrior's words. How dare him prophesy doom to my face? Who was he to tell my about my desires for lust and power? Only I knew what I wanted, and how I'd go far I'd go to get it."Your warnings and prophesies are not needed here," I blasted at him, my voice low and venomous. "I alone understand how it feels to see the one I love so dearly being snatched away from my hands by a mere.... werewolf. "The strange warrior laughed hard at this, raising his head up and shaking quite violently."She's the Chosen one, Karen. You can't do anything against her that won't return back to you," he said after the fit of laughter." You have no authority to prophesy doom to me, the one with the healing powers!! " I roared, taking steps towards him in rage.He stood still, his eyes till locked with mine. "You're blinded by your selfish ambition," he continued, his voice quite low and gravelly.I laughed at this, a cold and

Karen's POVZane's eyes locked into mine with a sudden look of seriousness. "Selena a needs to get to the Aeges stone as soon as possible. It's the only source of her recuperation, and you know that. "I felt a surge of confusion as I stole a glance at Selena. How would this affect my already laid out plan? There was no time to think."I'll come with you all then," I finally heard myself say. "We'll all go together, and I'll stand by your side."Selena beamed with smile as I said this, and I couldn't help but wish that I could just pierce her neck and end her at that point.She walked up to me. "Elara," she called, her eyes filled with all sense of gratitude.I stole a glance immediately at Zane, and then stared back at Selena. "I'm not Elara. I'm Karen," I replied in correction."Oh, I've been mixing up names lately," she replied, tapping her forehead gently. " Thanks for your offer, but we'll be fine.""No Selena. I love you dearly and I'm willing to take it all up on myself to see

Karen's POVI raised an eyebrow, my gaze travelling from the powerful stallion to the chief guard."You've got to be kidding me," I repeated, my voice laced with surprise and skepticism. "This is the best available you say?"The chief guard took a glance at me and then at the powerfully built beast, his fade etched with concern and wonder at my expression."You don't like it?" he asked calmly. "This stallion is the best in the entire pack. It was trained specially for speed and agility, and it's the best recommended for such a long journey. "I snorted, still filled with anger that I was left behind in the pack. "I highly doubt that," I muttered, taking gentle steps towards the beast. Once getting to the stallion, I ran my hand over it's mane. It turned it's face to me and nickered, it's eyes gleaming with intelligence. I smiled this."I think we'd work," I said out loud, the chief guard chuckling at this. He had always wanted us both to work things out between ourselves, hoping that

Karen's POVRowan took slow predatory steps towards me, his fangs still visible and his claws strangely shot out. "This changes everything."He was obviously consumed with an inner fire, consumed more with the desire to unleash complete destruction, but he still kept me in suspense."Speak!!" I roared in anger, tired of all his acts.He stared at me for a while, possibly wondering what had come over me, then he walked to me, putting his hand on my shoulder. It felt like he dug his claws into my skin, but I stood there, staring at him. He kept on, his hand still dug into my shoulder. No longer able to bear the pain he inflicted anymore, I shook my shoulder in an attempt to take he claws off my skin, but that was a pretty bad idea, for as soon as I did so, I felt his claws tearing my skin the more."Aarrgggh!!!" I screamed, stretching my hand towards him in an attempt to push him away from me violently, but he held my hand, spinning me around in a single point."How do you feel about
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 155
Karen's POVI turned to him slowly. "So that's it? Sounds so perfect to be true Rowan. You know how reality is don't you? "His lips slowly gave way to a large grin. " Of course my dear Karen. When nature wishes to play foul," he paused, his eyes fixed on me as he moved backwards, getting to his warriors. "We'd always be ready to strike if necessary."I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine as I watched all these unfold. I've always known Rowan to be cruel and evil, but never in time past have I seem him in this form, so consumed with hatred and anger. He seemed to be simmering on the surface of the anger he felt for the death of Raven in the battle front. It was terrifying, and for just a brief moment I regretted aligning myself with him in the very first place.But then the love I felt for Zane and my lust for the position of the chosen one and the powers associated made me stand firm.I was doing this for the right reasons and I knew it. I would stick with him to the end."You'

Karen's POVI stormed along the river bank, my feet pounding fiercely against the damp earth. Rowan was already standing in there, his hands behind his back as he viewed the horizon across the sea."You lied Rowan," I spat,. my eyes burning with fury. " The portion I was given was meant to kill her, not to help her regain her memory!! "He turned to me sharply, and I jolted as I saw his eyes red with anger. "Today marks it a year since Raven return back to the soil, and you keep me company with this awful trash of a complain? How dare you!!! "As he roared, other warriors which I later identified as members of Redmoon pack walked out of the surrounding forest, their claws out. He was their Alpha, slowly plunging them into the darkness of rogue life, but they couldn't help it."That's your burden to bear Rowan. The portion was meant to kill her!!" I roared, not even minding the presence of his warriors. "You have no right to lie to me Rowan!!"Rowan's eyes flashed with anger again. " Y

Selena's POVAs I finished the meal, Karen's excitation reached a fever peak. "Yes... yes...yes..." she whispered, her eyes wide and still rubbing her palms as a gesture of her excitement.Still watching her with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, I handed the tray back to the healer."Thanks again Karen," I said. "I'll forever be indebted. "" Yes indeed Selena, you will be, " she whispered loosely, getting hold of herself almost immediately and adding. "I mean.... there's not much of a problem Selena. All for you."Her behavior was beginning to unnerve me greatly, and I almost began to regret taking the food. Her strange actions were all too bizare.Her face beamed with smile once more as she took the tray from the healers and turned to leave. I felt glad to see her go.I relaxed back on the bed, and just as I was starting to relax,I heard the sound of familiar footsteps towards the room from outside.Zane walked in, his eyes scanning the room again before coming to me. "Hey S
