The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 42
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

Selena's POV"This day you shall lose all your powers. You've committed the greatest of all atrocities, " I roared at Xaren, secretly hoping that this all was just a dream.Zane couldn't just die."You'd do no such thing, not in my lifetime," he replied, pacing around the cave, his face set for a battle. "He's dead, just face it. Soon enough we would attack and conquer the entire race. You're at a loss Selena, face it."I stared at the lying body of Zane, the only Alpha who stood against the rogues. He just couldn't die."You'll never win. You use dark powers and never would it overshadow the truth. Rogues would never outweigh the free born."" Oh yes they will, Selena. Infact they've already done that. Look around you and tell yourself the truth. Zane's dead. He was our only obstacle as in his pack resided the chosen seer, but now it's all over, he's dead... " he paused, his eyes locking with mine. He turned fully towards me, making me move back."Join us, Selena. Join us to conquer

Karen's POVI knew I had to get some rest, had to let my body and mind recover from the turmoil of the day. And so, I made my way to my bed, my movements slow and deliberate as I climbed under the covers.I lay there, my eyes closed as I felt my body begin to relax. Sara's presence was still there, still simmering just below the surface. But I knew I could control her, knew I could keep her at bay.As I drifted off to sleep, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I knew that tomorrow would bring its own set of challenges, its own set of battles to fight. But for now, I could rest.But my rest was short-lived. As I slept, I began to dream. And in my dream, I saw a figure, a female werewolf with piercing green eyes and a fierce determination etched on her face."You're playing with fire, Karen," she said, her voice low and husky. "Your plans will lead you to your grave, mark my words."I tried to respond, but my voice was caught in my throat. I tried to move, but my body was frozen in pl

Karen's POVI stormed out of the room, my anger towering to heights as I had watched the one I love sink into the hands of one I tried to kill severally, Selena.I could feel my wolf within me stirring strangely, and this caught me surprise."Easy now Sara, I'm trying to think!!" I commanded my wolf, louder than usual. As I did that I raised my head almost immediately, turning around to look at the guard who stood post around me. Their eyes were at me at first, but they turned their head away as soon as my gaze darted through.My wolf continued to stir, prompting me to try and force her down, but she was having none of it."Quit it now I say!!" I roared again, placing my hand at my mouth almost immediately. My actions were beginning to be uncontrolled, and this added to my fear. What was going on?My face became a mask of fury, my eyes blazing with anger as I continued to move towards my chamber. Was the effect of my fall out with Zane beginning to way off on me?Shaking my head viol

Rowan's POVI became desperate, my blood running fast as I took quick uncontrolled steps towards her."Look, your life lies in my palms," I began to say, signalling the warriors to let go of her hands as I stared deep into her eyes. "Tell me what to do, and I'll honor your stay here. "She gave out a loud laugh, her fangs visible. She looked deep into my eyes, squinting hers. "And how do you think I'll be interested in such an offer?"I was confused. " Wait, you hate your life?"She shook her head vehemently, taking steps away from me.Ignoring my question, she headed to the throne. The guards that stood with her were alarmed as they attempted to rush to her, their claws shot out, but I restricted them, watching her closely.She moved around strangely like one possessed of several wolves."You wish to fight against the principles of prophesy, Rowan, " she said, giving out a mirthless laugh and taking a quick turn to face me. "You'd lead yourself sooner or later to your own downfall."

Rowan's POVWell, well, well," Kael said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Look what we have here. The great Alpha Rowan, risen from the dead."I aimed the knife at Kael, my eyes locked on his. "You're not going to be the new alpha, Kael," I growled, my voice low and menacing. "Not while I'm still alive."Kael's expression changed, his eyes narrowing as he realized I was a threat to his plans. He sneered at me, his claws shooting out as he gave a hissing sound"We'll see about that, Rowan," Kael said, his voice dripping with malice. "Let's settle this once and for all."I smiled, my eyes locked on Kael's. "I'm ready for you, Kael," I said, my voice steady and calm. "Let's end this."And with that he rushed towards me, his fangs shooting out and his eyes turning blood red. I stood still, a smile still flickering on my face. This would be a very short fight, and I knew it.He got to me, wiping his claws as I expected directly on the cut part of my hand.I smiled, releasing the knife I

Rowan's POVI broke the surface, gasping for air, and that's when I saw them. Three giant crocodiles, their eyes fixed on me, their jaws open wide. They were heading straight for me, their powerful tails propelling them through the water.My heart skipped a beat, and I felt a wave of panic wash over me. I was trapped, stuck in the water with no way to defend myself. The crocodiles were closing in, their teeth bared and ready to strike.I knew I had to act fast, or I would be dinner. But my mind was a blank, my thoughts frozen in fear. I was paralyzed, unable to move or react.And then, just as all hope seemed lost, I felt my wolf surge to the forefront. It was a primal, instinctual response, one that took over my body and mind.I snarled, baring my teeth, and prepared to face the crocodiles head-on. It was a desperate, last-ditch effort, but it was all I had."We're gonna die!!" the flippant warrior screamed in panic, his eyes completely shot." You have to stay strong!!" I roared bac

Rowan's POV"It's your turn, your majesty," Kael called out loud, and I couldn't help but notice a ting of envy and animosity lying beneath his voice.I shot a quick glance at him, noting with the moonlight how a flicker of smile had spread through his face. But was that the case or was I only seeing seeing things?I breath in real hard, turning to glance at the other two warriors standing with me. The faithful lad who helped tend my cut was ever scared, taking a step backwards and shivering in complete fright."You're the Alpha aren't you? Think of a way out of this mess!! " the flippant warrior chipped, running his eyes over me and taking fearful steps backwards all the same. I knew for sure he felt I couldn't win him in a fair fight with one hand chopped off.But he'd live to see that, or so I hoped."We must be strong, young ones," I managed to say. taking steps again towards the water bank. "If they on the other side could do it, then surely we can!!"I turned around to them, rea

Rowan's POVI could feel the pain coursing through my body, but it was nothing compared to the shock and unbelief that I felt.How could this have happened? I was the Alpha, the strongest and most powerful werewolf in the pack. I was supposed to be invincible, not some maimed and crippled creature.I looked up at my warriors, who were staring at me in shock and horror. I could see the fear in their eyes, the doubt and uncertainty. And in that moment, I knew that everything had changed. I was no longer the invincible Alpha, but a wounded and vulnerable creature."Alpha Rowan!!" three of the young warriors among the rest of the warriors called, taking quick steps forward to me.As they walked up to me, I looked up at the warriors scattered before me, noting with pleasure that most of the old generation of fighters were killed in the just ended battle with mysticshadow pack.I still had a chance to the throne, a chance to control them all and lord over them.With expert hands and a sense
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 182
Rowan's POVI had managed to rally my warriors back to my side, and as we trudged through the forest between mysticshadow pack and Redmoon back, my mind and thoughts travelled back to the words and prophesies of the werewolf I held captive."We must get to her... quick," I whispered to no one in particular, but my lead warrior caught the sound of my voice, as he ran towards me with utmost speed and devotion."To who, my lord?" he asked, his unusual aura of loyalty and complete devotion making me to turn to him with a quick glance."The prisoner," I replied dryly, halting at the same time. We had gotten to the river bank that crossed over to the boundaries of Redmoon pack, and noting the darkness of the night, I understood that if we were to cross over the water, then we'd do so with utmost care to avoid being eaten by the crocodiles. The warriors with me halted too, understanding the situation at hand."Warriors, If we must to cross this body of water, then we must do so with our liv

Selena's POVIt was getting all intense, as Karen brought herself so low in Zane's presence."I refuse to believe this!! You're my sister, my flesh and blood," Zane said, placing his hands on the desk adjacent his large bed."On the 22nd of May 1956, Karen was born into the noble family of Ethan, the lead councillor to Alpha Steve,"Karen read, her voice as calm as the summer waters.Zane looked fed up Karen and it caused him to turn around slowly. "What's that? I've had enough of your antics and schemes Karen, won't you give up already?"" Look!! This here contains the emblem of the ancient healer of Cyprus pack, the very last one to prophesy that the Chosen one would come from our continent!!"I watched in awe, noting from where I hid that the emblem looked authentic, a true seal from healers and infirmaries.Zane took the paper from her hands with a rush, peering through it and dilating his eyes in awe."No," he whispered, "this can't be, this just can't be."Karen became sultry aga
