The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 43
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

Selena's POV"Selena, think about all the powers you'd get if you... if you stop this and join us now, " Xaren tried to day amidst the draining of his powers to the Aeges stone.Walking slowly towards Zane's lifeless body, I replied him. "You know, Xaren. You really had the guts to think I'll join you against the free born werewolves." " Don't do this, Selena. The entire rogues scattered round the continent would come after you! That's a promise, " Xaren threatened, his powers being zapped into the Aeges stone."Let them come, we would be ready," a familiar voice replied him, sending a waving shock through me."Zane!" I called, lowering myself to him and planting a long kiss on his lips. "How... how did you?" I paused, planting another kiss on his face."The moon goddess, Selena. It simply wasn't my time to go. My destiny hasn't been fulfilled yet,"Zane replied, sitting up with an effort."I love you Zane, I've always did!" I exclaimed, slowly putting both my hands on his face."I've

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

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...

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

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

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
