The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 57
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

Selena's POVThe sound of my footsteps were hushed by the lush carpet under me. I pulled the hood of my cloak over my face, hesitating a little as I held my mask in my hands. Sighing, I shoved it back into the cloak pockets.I walked through the hallway, my mind wandered, unable to shake the feeling that Zane's eyes were still on me. I found it almost impossible to resist him back in the room, but as I thought about him. my mind drifted to another person.Rowan.I had thought I was long over him, that my feelings for him had long faded away and was replaced by anger and revenge, but the more time that I spent with him- the more I set my eyes on him-the more I was proved wrong."I'll end this all tonight," I whispered under my breath, my fists clenching tightly. My revenge on him still stands, for the sake of my dead child.My steps slowed as another feeling hit me. I could t deny that I still felt a pang of guilt as I thought about Rowan. I had moved on, or so I thought. Zane was the

Selena's POV"You said that the spell has to follow a certain pattern before the healing can be conjured perfectly," a student, Rayan, asked after I had pointed to him. "I once tried using a different pattern when using a spell on a rat that had a cut on its belly and it worked." "Just because it worked on an animal doesn't mean it would on a human," I explained as I walked towards the young boy. "Take for example, the doctor needed to treat an animal is not the same for treating a human. That goes for humans too." I muttered a spell under my breath and waved my hands in the air, causing an image to suddenly form m, suspended above us. Everyone awed and ooed at the sight, watching as I demonstrated to them what I meant with the image. "I once thought I could cut corners in using my spells one time when I was healing a fallen soldier during a battle," I said, waving my hand and causing the images floating image to play out in motion. It showed me kneeling beside a fallen wolf, his s

Selena's POVI stood there, feeling a sense of frustration and disorientation. All my previous thoughts and tribulations flooded my mind again, making me wonder if I was in another trance."No, no, no," I muttered under my breath as I placed my hands on the walls by my hand. Just a minute ago, I couldn't even touch them both at the same time, but now I could. It wasn't just me... I wasn't just imagining it-the walls were closing in on me.I closed my eyes as beads of sweat rolled down my eyelids. I tried my best to hone in on the problem and not panic but no matter what I did, my mind drifted to the walls surrounding me. I muttered a spell under my breath as I tried to connect with the Aegis stone but I felt nothing. Suddenly, I realized that my arm was bent. I looked at my right hand and found it arched up. The walls had moved when my eyes were closed."Oh, no," I whispered under my breath as I turned and ran back down the passageway, taking as many turns and bends as possible. "Hel

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
