The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 54
Selena's POVThe figure I saw in the mirror was perfect. It was almost the exact combo Raymond had always seen me on. The wig was perfect, the close loosely fit bit not too baggy, and the boots seemed to add a nice touch of ruggedness to my overall appearance. "Hmm," inhaled, taking a thorough look round myself in haste. The warrior was standing just outside the door, waiting to lead me to the injured."Not too bad," I said to myself, sniffing around. Something was still wrong. The perfume.I knew for sure that Raymond might start to develop doubts if the smell changed. Surely he would.Quickly moving to the other side of the trunk, I rummaged it again. "One more minute. Won't take more time I promise! " I cried out to the warrior outside." All good my lady, all good, " he replied, his voice betraying his words and showing the sense of urgency.A life was involved.Finally finding the bottle of perfume, I removed the stopper, inhaling the rich, earthly aroma coming from it. I app

Selena's POV"Her wolf is gone. I'm so sorry," I said to them, getting up to my feet. "No, that can't be. She's to be my mate!!" Rowan's lead warriors ranted, his eyes filled with rage. "You can't do this. She wasn't dead before you came around. You can't leave her in this manner!!" He tried to move forward towards me but was held back by his men."You did this to her!!" he continued, struggling in the hands of his men.I gave reply to him as I turned and headed to the chariot where Rowan sat. "I'm sorry, I tried all I could," I said to him. His face was covered in the royal cap he wore."She was all I've got. All," he managed to say to my hearing, his face still covered. "How do I live without her?" I couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for him. "You can live without her. You've lived without someone you...." I paused, structuring my words properly. " loved once."He sat upright almost instantly. "Who do you refer to, Seer?" " You know of course. Your first mate. You've lived

Rowan's POVHe cleared his throat, but I noticed the added depth in his voice. "I think it's time I built the Lupercal," the seer said, looking away from my eyes and taking an authoritative posture, his head up and his hands behind his back."Hmm, why do you think so?" I asked, turning to the Seer fully."Well, with all the appellation I've gained among your warriors and eventually all your people, I can say that this surely is the best time to fix a healing facility amongst them," he explained, his gaze strong and assertive, with raised eyebrows. I studied him the more after noticing a slight crack on his chin. "What do you say?" he suddenly asked, his voice suddenly bringing my attention back to his eyes. "Alright," I muttered, adjusting my pose to look more authoritative. "I'll see what I can do about it. I'll surely get back to you later." "No Rowan," the Seer quickly interjected before I could even turn my back on him. I looked back at him, a shocked expression on my face. "The

Selena's POVAs I walked through the forest, the trees loomed above me like sentinels. My mind, more like a rumbled of thoughts, played back the whole events with precision.The disguise was perfect, it's part played with pure expertise, although I felt his gaze travel down my chin for some reason. Left for that, Rowan saw nothing but a male seer who had his personal interest in front. As I walked, the trees seemed to close around me, their branches tangling together above my head as I walked back to the pack house. I tried but failed in taking my thoughts away from Rowan, his piercing eyes and strong jaw. Sometimes I just thought that the weight of my disguise was bearing down on me. I just wanted to pull them off and run to him, feeling once again his masculine pose and muscles.But no, I could not let these stupid feelings take over. They are and always will be remnants of my past. Rowan and his sister, their sins against me must be paid back for. He threw me out when I needed hi

Rowan's POVThe shrill cry resonated through the forest trees again, causing the birds around to flee from their nest. I looked around, trying to determine the direction from where it was coming from but it seemed to be coming from all around. A low growl escaped my lips as I drew my claws out and stood in a fighting stance. "Did you hear that?" I asked the lead warrior, my wolf on high alert."Yes I did," he replied, his claws shooting out as he began to move."Not again," I muttered to myself, following quickly behind him. Again Raven's safety was threatened and I just wished we could go back to our pack and all these would end.After running for more than two minutes, I found Raven standing by a tree, her hands on her chest and her breathing heightened. She had a certain look on her face, one that I could not tell what it meant. "Rowen," Raven called upon sighting me and Thane, her voice surprisingly calm and reassuring. Wasn't it she that had just let out that scream not too lon

Selena's POV"What do you mean?" Kato asked surprised. "Oh Kato," I called gently without looking up at him. He got the signal, putting down the salad that he was dressing and pushing the bowl to the side. "Don't you think it's time to sleep? Go on now, chicà," he said in his local dialect to the young girl and we watched as she hopped happily out of the kitchen."I need you to let me handle some of the cooking tomorrow," I told him, my eye fixed this time on him."Oh, not to worry, Seer," he said with a dismissive wave and a low chuckle as he shook his head slowly. "I know how much you care about us down here, but I've got all this covered. This... " he paused, pointing all over the kitchen, "this, this is my life. I'll handle whatever grand dinner there is to be tomorrow."I tried to think of a better way to convey my thoughts to him. "That's not the point Kato, certainly not," I muttered, dropping my spoon on my plate and looking up at him with as serious an expression as I could

Selena's POVZane's arms tightened around me, his eyes narrowing as he gazed out the window. "What was that?" he whispered, his voice low and cautious.I shook my head, my heart racing with anticipation. "I don't know," I whispered back, my eyes fixed on the window.And then, just as we were about to investigate, a figure emerged from the darkness outside. A figure that made my blood run cold, my heart skip a beat."Xaren," I whispered, my voice barely audible.Zane's arms tightened around me, his eyes flashing with warning. "What is he doing here?" he growled, his voice low and menacing.But before either of us could react, Xaren's eyes locked onto mine, and I felt a jolt of electricity run through my body."Selena," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "We need to talk.""You should be in the dungeon," Zane growled as he placed his hands in front of me, pushing me back gently. "Guards!!" "Oh, not to worry about that. They've all been settled accordingly, see," he paused, bringing

Selena's POV"I've seen the way some of the pack members look at us," I said, my voice barely above a whisper as though someone close by was listening to our conversation. "They're not all loyal to us, Zane. Some of them may be secretly working with Xaren. I'm... I'm sure of it."Zane's expression turned grim, his eyes flashing with anger. "We'll investigate," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "And if we find out that anyone is working with Xaren, they'll be dealt with accordingly."I nodded in agreement, my heart pounding with anticipation. We were in for a long and difficult fight, but I was ready. I was ready to defend our pack, our home, and our way of life.As we sat there, discussing our plan of action, I couldn't help but feel a sense of determination and purpose. We would face whatever challenges lay ahead, and we would emerge victorious.But as I looked into Zane's eyes, I saw something there that gave me pause. A flicker of doubt, a hint of uncertainty."Zane, what's w

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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 188
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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 183
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
