Selena's POVAs the pack's members watched in silence, Rowan's eyes bored into Zane's daring him to disagree."This can't be, Rowan. There's no such thing as poison in any food here," Zane said, his expression turning sour as he thought of the possibilities of such."Then the chefs should check the food, nothing more, nothing less," Rowan said."Rowan stop all these," Raven said, seemingly getting irritated at her brother's incessant demands."If we're going to check the food," Rowan started, his voice firm as he ignored his sister, "then we need to do it properly. I suggest one of the chefs try the food, that's pretty much not a big deal, is it?"I just sat there, watching as the drama unfolded. Did he eavesdrop on any of my conversations with Kato? What gave him the 'hunch' of poisoning, on Raven's meal to be specific?Zane who was already standing took two steps backwards, his eyes widening in surprise and disgust."What?" Zane exclaimed. "You can't be serious! We can't just ask on

Selena's POVAs I looked around the table, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Rowan's eyes seemed to bore into mine as he murmured some strange words. Raven's eyes, on the other hand was sparkling with a mixture of curousity and concern. And then there was Zane, his expression serious, but I could still sense unease beneath it all. He was a good leader, but he was also a cautious one. He didn't seem ready to take any chances on the safety of any pack member.Just how the meal that was meant to be one of unity and peace quickly turned sour, thanks to Rowan and his inquisitiveness."Very well then," Rowan started, his voice firm." Let's get on with it. Who's going to test the food? "We all paused, sharing glances with each other. Some of the chefs present turned down their faces. Then Kato walked in, as Innocent as ever."You there, Kato. We need your expertise over here," Zane called, stretching his hands towards Kato.At that moment my wolf grumbled inside me. I

Selena's POVDuring it all, I just focused on measuring its intensity, on trying to understand its power and its reach. I determined to uncover the truth behind this sinister attack, and to bring the perpetrator to justice.As I stood there, my eyes closed and my senses focused on Kato's energy, I could feel the weight of the warriors gaze upon me. They were all watching me, waiting for me to do something, to say something. But for now, I just stood there, my mind racing with thoughts and my senses focused on the task at hand.The silence in the room was oppressive, heavy with tension and uncertainty. The warriors seemed to be holding their collective breath, waiting to see what would happen next. And I, the Seer, was the only one who could provide them with any answers.But for now, I just stood there, my eyes closed and my senses focused on Kato's energy. I was determined to uncover the truth behind this sinister attack, and to bring the perpetrator to justice. And I was willing to

Selena's POVAs soon as Rowan and his warriors left the dining venue, the room seemed to hold it's breath for a while, as if waiting for the next shoe to drop.And it did.Without warning, Karen burst into the dining room, her face contorted with a mixture of rage and grief. She seemed to put in a mask of emotions all through."You!" she screamed, her finger pointing accusingly at me. "You did this, Selena. You decided to put our pack to shame! You poisoned Kato."The room fell silent, with all eyes turning towards my direction, expecting more or less a form of defence from me.I stood there, frozen in stunned silence as I tried to lean on Zane for support."What's the meaning of this accusation?" Zane asked his sister. "Selena had nothing to do with Kato's death."But Karen seemed to be beyond reason, as her eyes blazed in anger, her voice rising in a hysterical pitch. "Don't try to defend her Zane!" she screamed. "I know what I saw. I saw her arguing with Kato earlier today. I sa

Selena's POV“You're not as clever as you think you are, Selena," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "I always knew you were unworthy to be our pack's Seer. And now, it seems that you're not only unworthy, but you're also a murderer."The pack members gasped, their faces reflecting their shock and horror. I felt as though I had been slapped in the face, my cheeks burning with shame and anger.But I knew that I couldn't let Karen's accusations get to me. I had to stay calm, to think clearly and defend myself against her lies."I didn't kill Kato," I said, my voice firm and steady. "I would never hurt him, or anyone else in this pack. You know that, Karen."But Karen just laughed, a cold, mirthless sound."We'll see about that," she said, her eyes glinting with triumph. "We'll see who's telling the truth, and who's lying."" Enough! " Zane roared, raising his hand towards Karen. Looking up at his face I could see disappointment etched all over it. "Zane... I... I" I began, but h

Selena's POVThe guards pushed the door open, revealing a set of steep stairs that led down into the darkness.One of the guards gestured for me to precede him down the stairs, and I did, my heart heavy with despair. As we descended deeper into the dungeons, the air grew colder and damper, the smell of mold and decay filling my nostrils.We reached the bottom of the stairs and found ourselves in a long, narrow corridor, lined with cells on either side. The guards led me to the end of the corridor, where a single cell stood, its door open and waiting.The guard gestured for me to enter, and I did, my heart sinking with despair. As I stepped inside, the guard closed the door behind me, the sound of the iron door clanging shut echoing through the corridor.I was alone, trapped in the darkness of the dungeons, with no way out. I leaned against the cold stone wall, my eyes adjusting slowly to the darkness. I could hear the sound of scurrying rodents, the creaking of the old wooden beams, a

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

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

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
