The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 86
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

Zane's POVKaren had just opened her mouth to respond to my misgivings when a commotion at the entrance of the throne room diverted our attention. In strode a tall, towering figure in piercing blue eyes and jet-black hair, arresting all attention.Karen's eyes slitted as her gaze settled on the newcomer, curiosity and suspicion warring for dominance in her gaze. I, however, knew the emissary from the Moonstone pack, and I nodded in greeting."Hello, Zane," the envoy said in a deep voice that rumbled around the room. "I come bearing a message from the Moonstone pack's alpha, Rowan.Karen's eyes snapped to mine, a spark of interest igniting within them. "What does Rowan want?" she asked, her voice tinged with a hint of curiosity.Turning toward Karen, his manner was courteous but formal. "Rowan seeks the helping hands of your workers, Zane, to start the work of a new healing center, one for both our packs," he said. "He requests that you send a team of skilled workers to assist in the b

Zane's POVDeep in thought, walking further along the gardens, thinking deeply of Karen, then Selena and also the pack Moonstone. But somewhere somehow my consciousness urged and called for my appearance in front of the hidden cave which held Aeges.I had not been in the cave for ages, and I did not know why this sudden urge had overcome me to go there. Yet, something in the serenity of the garden and the quietness of the evening called me toward the cave.I made my way out of the garden and through the palace grounds, my feet carrying me with a sense of purpose to the cave. The sun was much lower now, casting long shadows across the ground, illuminating the trees in warm, golden light.As I walked, the trees grew closer together, and the air grew cooler and damper. I could hear the sound of running water up ahead, and I knew that I was getting close to the cave.Finally, I came out from behind the trees and had the entrance to the cave before me. The opening was a huge, yawning mouth

Zane's P.O.VI whirled, my heart racing as Karen's voice cut into the silence. "Zane!"Her eyes narrowed, her brow furrowed in worry as she took in my form standing before the stone Aeges. The calm after the storm."What are you doing here?" I tried to sound composed instead of surprised.Karen's eyes darted to the stone and back to me. "I might ask you the same thing," she said, an accusation laced into her tone. "You know this is a sacred place."A surge of wariness entered my mind as Karen seemed to stare into mine as if she could read into them. "I came to meditate," I said, trying to remain neutral.Karen raised an eyebrow. "Meditate? With the Aeges stone?" Her voice just oozed skepticism.I steeled myself and looked right at her. "I needed direction," I said matter-of-factly.Karen's face was a little softer then, but more of a calculative expression. "Direction?" she repeated. "From the Aeges stone?A prickle of apprehension rose as Karen drew closer, her eyes bright with curio

Zane's P.O.V.As I stared at Karen's entrancing stride toward the Aeges stone, a chill of dismay and confusion crossed my mind. What in the world had pushed my sister to such an extent of yearning for power?I thought back to our childhood, growing up together in the pack. Karen had always been ambitious, but a sense of loyalty and duty to our family and pack had tempered her drive.But as time wore on, Karen's ambition soured into a hungry lust for power. Karen became a cruel, anything-to-reach-her-goals kind of person who didn't value anyone else that stood in her way.Was this some dark magic she had been reading about, or was there more to this? Had Karen always been like this, and I hadn't seen it?I just stood there, frozen in contemplation, with Karen's words echoing through my head: "The power of the Aeges stone will soon be mine." I knew that I had to thwart her, but another voice within me asked what could make even my sister go that way.Was it for the validation, for the r

Selena's PovRaven's eyes glinted as she walked into the room, flashing her pearly whites in a brilliant smile. "I gotta say, Seer you are looking particularly handsome today," she said in that throaty, husky voice that sent shivers running down my spine. She came closer to me with confident fluidity.I felt my surprise surge with her words, and my heart skipped a beat. Raven was flirting with me, and I didn't know how to react. A she wolf disguising herself as a male wolf, I hadn't anticipated drawing any romantic attention.But as I looked into the glittering eyes of Raven, I couldn't but be drawn to her in small ways. She was so charming, energetic, and seriously appeared interested in getting to know me. Her black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night, green eyes sparkling like emeralds in the dimly lit room.I smiled back at her, coolly. "Well, thank you, Raven," I said, trying to sound smooth. "You're looking lovely yourself." I gestured toward a chair near her,

Selena's P.O.V.I trailed my way to the chamber of Alpha Rowan because my heart was going berserk with anticipation. Summoned by the alpha himself and oblivious about what to expect.As I entered the chambers, Alpha Rowan sat behind his desk, a look of seriousness upon his face. "Ah, Seer," he said, nodding at me. "Thank you for coming. I have some important news to share with you."I nodded and sat down in front of his desk. "Of course, Alpha," I replied with as much respect as possible.Alpha Rowan leaned further forward, his eyes meeting mine. "The first lot of workers from Moonstone Pack has arrived," he said, sounding excited for once. "And I have instructed that work on the clinic should begin.Impossible-the workers coming soon was expected, but so soon to start the building, I really wouldn't have thought."That's great news, Alpha," I tried to infuse some enthusiasm into my voice. "It will no doubt be quite an asset for the pack."A small smile that turned a bit wider as Alph

Selena's P.O.V.The more the day passed by, the more and more Raven hounded me to go to the hunt. With eyes aglow with excitement, she would pop up at any time and ask whether I was ready for that big night.First, I tried getting her off my back by informing her I had to attend to healer duties, but Raven was never one to quit and she'd only laugh it off, saying I needed a break, time to have fun.The sun had just about set, and before me again was Raven. But now in her eyes flashed the sharp gleam of mischief. "Come on, Seer," she whispered throatily, "time to prepare for the hunt. I'll see you at the rally point in 30 minutes."I blew a resigned sigh as resignation washed over me. At least, apparently Raven would not be content to let me avoid this hunting expedition, and quite honestly, I did feel a bit like the tide-being swept along."Fine," I said, aloud, in an effort to sound light. "I will meet you at the muster point. But do not depend on me for pulling a lot of weight for y

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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 208
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...
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 207
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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 203
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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 201
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
