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

Rowan's POVThe wind whipped through my hair as we emerged from the pack house, the sounds of battle growing louder with each step. I stood tall, my shoulders back, my eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of the enemy.The warriors flanked me, their massive bodies a testament to their strength and loyalty. Together, we formed a formidable force, ready to take on whatever Mysticshadow pack had in store for us.I glanced at Raven, who walked beside me, her eyes gleaming with a fierce intensity. "It's time to put our plan into action," I said, my voice low and steady.Raven nodded, her face set in a determined expression. "We'll take Selena down Rowan, together. I smiled, a cold, calculated smile. "We'll do more than that, Raven. We'll annihilate her, sending that as a warning to whosoever comes against.... "I had barely finished my sentence when there was a signal by the warriors who marched up front. "Incoming!!!"The warrior who had sent the signal turned back and ran towards me,

Rowan's POV"Your out of your mind Rowan," one of the warriors interjected. " We can't just sit here and fold our arms."I turned to him. "I've not said such. Sitting around and folding our arms would lead us to a more effective doom. No not that." I turned to to Nathan. " We have to fight smartly my lord."He was growing impatient, and I could feel it . "And how do we suppose to do that?" he asked." We need to use our warriors wisely, not just throw them into battle like a cannon fodder just like you intend to, " I replied, hoping that he would dance to my tone.And he did."How dare you question my style?" He thundered, taking steps towards me. The raised platform he stood on made him look tall and devouring, but I tried to picture an equal opponent. "I know them more than you do, believe it or not Nathan," I replied calmly.He paused, his devouring stance changing instantly to one of a dull child. His eyes widening in stunned silence, he whispered. "You do?"I stood confidently.

Rowan's POVAs we followed the command to return to base, the chaos in the dungeon slowly began to recede, thousands of prisoners and warriors fallen.Raven took notice of this, as her hold on my arm tightened. "They're attack from the front seem to have....""Receded, and that's a major tactics of mysticshadow pack. " I paused, taking a look at her. "Selena's here. "Raven and I pushed our way through the army of warriors that stormed towards the pack house. Silently I rehearsed the words I would lay before Nathan to convince him to accept me in his army. That would give me the right weapon of protection.Turning to a corner, we suddenly caught sight of Nathan standing in a raised up platform. His eyes scanned through all the warriors as he barked orders on them all."....... recall to take cover behind the Eastern wall. That's the easily penetrable part of the pack!! ," he yelled. " Hold up the warriors there until reinforcements arrive!!"His hands were behind his back as he walked

Rowan's POV"Moonstone pack?" Raven asked, amazed as the read the writing on the arrow stick."Zane's fighting for Selena," I whispered, my gaze fixed on the wall before me, breaking the stick into two. "Buddy!!" the obese prisoner called as he leaned toward the old prisoner. He was already burning, his clothes ablaze with fire. "You'd always be in my heart buddy, always."I and Raven quickly sprang into action, the air filled with the acrid smell of burning flesh and straw."Quick!! What else did you see? Mysticshadow pack weren't the one attacking, it was Zane and his warriors, " Raven inquired desperately.The prisoner stood still, his eyebrows furrowed as he locked eyes with me. "I tell you all what I see!! Selena on a horse, her claws on fire as she rides towards Redmoon pack."I wanted to know more. "Did she win the war?"As he was about to reply a loud crash echoed through the dungeon, followed closely by that sound of scream and shouts."What was that?" Raven whispered. The w

Rowan's POVI took a look at the window, noting how small it was. It was the only source of ventilation to us there, and there was nothing we could do about it. "So what you gonna say huh?" the old prisoner asked his eyes locked at me, unblinking."So you tell me, that if you pee, you'd be slim enough to pass through this window? " I asked, desperation brewing slowly within me. I badly wanted him to see what's in for us outside and when the raid would take place."Well of course. But one thing. I'm too tall to pee on the floor. It's no fun at all, " he replied, pausing and grinning at me." So? " I asked, a hint of what he wanted to do already playing on my mind."It felt pretty good doing that stuff on your head the other time you know, " the obese prisoner said, " So what's the deal? "I stole a glance at Raven, who nodded slightly for me to do as he says. "Please you have to look through that window and tell us what you see, " I pleaded, hoping to kill them all after all this.The

Rowan's POVI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surrounding. Relieved that the nightmare about Selena and the dead child wasnt pushed into reality, I turned around to take in what I saw. I was in a damp, dimly lit cell, the surrounding made of decayed mold, rodents traveling to and fro. I tried to listen, but at first the only sound I could here was the constant dripping of liquid on a hard surface. As I struggled to regain my bearings, I looked around again, and then I noticed a figure sitting beside me.It was Raven, her eyes bold and red. "He's peeing on your head," she said, her eyes never leaving mine."Wait, what?" I whispered, the constant dripping of liquid making sense."You, better keep your head up boy!!!" a hoarse voice commanded, as he continued his act. With a single effort, my claws shot out and into space, but Raven held me back. "He's just a distraction, you wouldn't want to draw their attention, besides, he'll be of help later on " she said, pointing to

Selena's POVI woke up to the same haunting image that had been troubling me for days, Rowan's lifeless body soaked in his own pool of blood. I killed him, my dead child still in my hands. I just couldn't seem to shake off the dreadful feeling. Zane was sitting beside me, his gaze far outside the window."Again?" he asked, for I had told him about the nightmare several times."Yes Zane. He's all over the place. I look around I see him, my child. Rowan's also there, in the pool of blood, " I said, giving him a quickly summary of the dream for the umpteenth time. He turned towards me, his eyes filled with concern. "You'll be fine, when this is all over," he said."When what's all over? " I asked, unsure of what he meant. " Don't worry Selena. Take your time to heal, " he said stroking my hair.I was about to insist that he explain what he meant when a warrior burst into the room. "Greetings Alpha Zane, greeting Alpha Selena. The warriors are ready for the attack."My eyes darted ac

Rowan's POV"You like what you see?" he asked, his eyes darting to and fro and his shoulders slightly puffed up with pride."Well I must say, this is grand.""Well it is of course. You see, Alpha Darius was never a king of wants and desires. He chose simplicity, and he died so. Take a sit. "" A seat? "" Of course Rowan. You're my friend and it's only right you join me for dinner, " Nathan said, his eyes fixed on the drink before him. "This is the finest wine in the continent, and it would be a pity if I consume it alone. "What was the Beta up to? I hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do. "Beta Nathan I wish to decline this grand offer of yours. I've got some reservations.... "" Say no more, for a friend of Nathan must merry with Nathan. You've proven yourself worthy of my presence, so you deserve a treat, " Beta Nathan replied, raising his glass cup for a toast.I was beginning to enjoy his company. Great food!!

Rowan's POV"Before this council I assure you that you would certainly have been released from your chains and enlisted as a warrior of this pack if you had succeeded in killing her," the beta announced.I swallowed hard at this revelation, still not knowing where the council were heading to."So you tell us that you took away her powers and she still lives?" one of the elders asked. " And how do you expect us to believe that?" I shook my forehead, not knowing what else to say to them."She died, my lords, I killed her personally in the battle," I heard a familiar voice say.All eyes turned to the direction of the voice.It was Raven, and I wondered what she was up to."She died, I struck her with my claws in her che Ist, and she let out a loud cry and stumped on the ground, " she said, her voice soothing and convincing. "Well, you have to keep to your words, Beta Nathan," one of the elders said, turning to face the beta with a knowing look.The beta cleared his throat, taking a lo
