The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 44
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

Rowan's POVSurrounded by the familiarity scent of leather bounded books in the study, my eyes wandered around the room, my ears taking in the crackling sound from the fire place. The creak of the wooden desk, the musty scent of aged parchment, all so familiar yet odd.The wolf I was gifted by the seer was beginning to wane in it's duties, never ready for action. Words are beginning to go round that I'm no longer fit to be the Alpha of the pack."No," I muttered, striking my fist lightly on the desk. "I won't let that happen. I won't lose my place in this pack. Never."Still tangled in the thread of my thoughts, the door of the study creaked open."Rowen. What's this I hear?" Raven asked in her usual telling manner." And what, my dear, did you hear?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders."The elders and warriors now say in open without hesitation that you do not deserve to rule us. Tell me it's not true, is it? " she asked, her eyebrows shooting up towards her hairline as she did so.I to

Zane's POVI sat on my throne, my eyes fixed on my sister Karen as she paced back and forth in front of me. Her face was twisted with anger and hatred, her eyes blazing with a fierce intensity."Zane, you have to do it," she said, her voice low and urgent. "You have to sentence Selena to death."I nodded solemnly, trying to keep my expression neutral. I knew Karen had no idea that I was the one who helped Selena on that fateful night. And I was not about to let that secret out now."I understand your concerns, Karen," I said, trying to sound as serious as possible. "But we have to make sure that we follow the proper procedures. We can't just sentence someone to death without a trial."Karen's face turned red with rage. "You're not taking this seriously, Zane," she spat. "Selena is a threat to our pack, to our very way of life. She has to be stopped."I nodded again, trying to appease my sister. "I understand that you're upset, Karen. But we have to be careful. We can't let our emotion

Selena's POVAs I struggled to get a hold of my composure, Elara's voice cut through the silence like a knife, snapping me into reality. "So Seer," she said, her eyes slightly narrowing as she turned toward me. "What is your intended course of action in our pack?A feeling of wariness rose up, as though there was something not quite straightforward about her question. I didn't immediately answer, taking a little extra time with my choice of words."I plan on helping the pack however I can," I said, trying to be as vague as possible. "I have certain. abilities that may be useful to the pack."Elara's eyes seemed to bore into mine, as if rummaging for any hidden motives inside me. "I see," she said, her tone dripping with skepticism. "And what makes you think you can help us, Seer? We have struggled with certain issues, and we have not been able to find a solution for them.I sensed that Elara was trying to probe me, testing whether I knew more than I was letting on. So I decided to pla

Selena's P.O.V.As we rode through the pack on horseback, Rowan took the lead on his own horse while I was on my horse right after him. The pack watched as we passed, curiosity and reverie upon their faces.He led the horse along twisting pathways, showing me landmarks and various other features. I followed him on horseback, scanning the surroundings.We passed a huge stone fountain where some of the young wolves were playing and laughing with each other. We passed several cabins built of wood, every one of them having various wood carvings with colors and bright tapestry.As we approached the Great Pack House, I could feel the strange energy emanating from that building-a sense of power and history that seemed to seep from the very stones themselves.Rowan drew rein, stopping us in front of a large pack house. Turning to me, his pride showed in his shining eyes. "Welcome to the Royal Pack House, Seer," he said, proud, his voice low. "This is the centre of our pack, our family home wh

Selena's POV"You've master the art of horse riding, I can tell," Rowan complimented as we approached the large gates of his pack. "There's more to you than a seer."I gave no reply to him as I silently led the horse to into the pack, trying hard to avoid the gazes of the people."The Seer's here. It's him," the pack members murmured as I rode alongside Rowan into the pack."The Seer would bring fortune and good tidings, blessings to you Seer," a little werewolf exclaimed, waving at me with full energy. I smiled down at her little face, memories of the pack I was born and bred flooding me. A wave of nostalgia washed over me at that point as i still galloped on the horse. The familiar buildings, scent damp earth and wildflowers enveloping me.I was home.Still on the horse, I closed my eyes, letting the memories flood into my heart and consume a greater part of me. I instantly recalled running through these woods as a young werewolf of the royal lineage, my paws pounding against the fa

Selena's POV"Why do you look bothered?" Rowan asked, peering into my eyes intently as he leaned closer to me."There's something I feel I should know, Seer."I couldn't hide my surprise at his question, and I quickly looked away, trying to compose myself. "I'm fine," I said, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just a little...preoccupied with the construction plans."Rowan raised an eyebrow, his eyes glinting with skepticism. "I see," he said, his voice dripping with doubt. "Well, if you're sure you're okay...then I'll let it drop. For now."I felt a shiver run down my spine at his words, and I quickly looked away, trying to hide my reaction. But as I glanced back at Rowan, I couldn't help but feel like he had seen right through me.And as I turned my horse around, preparing to leave, I couldn't shake the feeling that Rowan was watching me, his eyes boring into my back like a brand.I urged my horse forward, feeling a sense of relief wash over me as I put distance between myself and Rowan.

The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 81
Selena's POVAs I rode alone on the horse, the rhythmic thud of the horse's hooves on the earthly terrain lured me into a state of deep contemplation.My mind seemed to be in a conflict between my desires for Zane and Rowan. Earlier on I thought my mind had been long occupied with nothing but my planned revenge against Rowan, but seeing him this past few days, all my mind could think of was the way his attention on me sent shivers down my spine.Zane, ever loving and caring, also occupied my mind, the feeling of his flexible muscles on me whenever he wraps me with his arms, his gentle deep commanding voice and his tall stand. His piercing blue eyes and chiseled features etched on my memory as the trees seemed to close in behind me, it's branches tangling together in it's own pattern.One thing was for sure, Rowan would get what's coming to him. Raven too. But it would take a greater courage than I thought to fulfil my long desire of revenge and complete conquer.I sat still on the sad
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 80
Selena's POVAs we walked silently through the corridors, the howling of long condemned prisoners rented through the air. I paid attention to the sounds they made, hoping to perhaps hear the familiar growling of Xaren.But I heard none."We need to get you disguised," Zane said, turning towards me and cutting through my thought process. "We can't have Rowan see you as you are, your true Identity."I nodded, understanding fully.Surprisingly, Zane reached into his cloak and pulled out a small bag."Take, this would be enough disguise while you are away," he said, handing me the bag.Taking the bag, I zipped it open, pulling out a pair of male fits. I quickly went into an enclosure and changed into them, feeling an odd sense of familiarity as I dressed into the male clothes. I was already getting use to the male's perspective.Zane handed me a cloak as soon as got out, which I wrapped round my shoulders. "One more thing," he said, putting his hand into his pocket and pulling out a sma

Selena's POV "But Zane," I started, looking into his eyes. "The Aeges stone cannot be wielded without the authority of the Seer. " " That's what we thought, but she insisted that there are other ways of using it to determine the truth," Zane replied. "No, that can't be true," I said, taking a step backwards. Things were just happening so fast. "Take it easy Selena, come," he said, drawing me closer to him, the metal bars our only demarcation. "Whatever happens, I'll make sure your life and existence comes before mine." That was so sweet of him. At least I felt protected, but not from the Aeges stone I knew. If wielded wrongly it could harm or kill even an innocent werewolf. Then I remembered. "Zane. There's something I think you should know. The Aeges stone, " I paused, looking into his eyes. " The last time I observed it, it looked... fake." I had expected him to flare up, to react, but he kept calm, his entire being in rapt attention. "We'll get to the bottom of that. But
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 78
Selena's POVAs the day passed by, the silence in the cell became more and more oppressive, it's thickness seeming to overshadow me. Pacing back and forth in the cell, my mind raced with thoughts and doubts. Would Zane ever come for me? Would I end up here forever?Karen would surely desire that greatly. As the hours passed by, my thoughts quickly turned to desperation. I was hungry and thirsty, and the cold, damp air was starting to seep into my bones."Help, anybody," I managed to cry with the last breath that I could possibly muster. But there was not reply from anyone.I wrapped my hands around myself, trying to warm myself up, but it was no use. The darkness seemed to press around me, prompting me to close my eyes and try to focus on breathing. At least that was the only process I could hold on to for survival.I slowly began to lose hope. Maybe I'd be left to die here. Maybe it was my fate, written in the stars.But just as I was about to completely give up, I heard the sounds
