The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 95
Selena's P.O.V.Kael led me to the clinic, and I could see that Moonstone Pack workers were busy at work; the hammer on stone walls rang. The sound of sawing-chiseling, the scent of freshly cut wood and mortar wafted to the site.Kael nodded toward the great stone wall, upon which half a dozen laborers were well in hand, framing in the roof of the clinic. "We're making good progress, Seer," he said proudly. "The walls are going up quickly, and we should have the roof on soon."I bowed my head respectful to such skills and industry among these workers, while, at the same time, meanwhile, a boulder of no inconsiderable weight had been winched - with much taking of care - into its correct position. The countenance had buckled now in concentration as these men began their work.Others dug away- creating a well and laying pipes for plumbing the clinic as the ring of the earth as struck by the pickaxes rung in concert with the rumble of rocks that moved.As morning wore on, the sun beat dow

Selena's POVI had a growl rising in my throat, but before words could leave my lips, a voice cut through our little tete-a-tete."Rowan, stop this!" Elara, Rowan's mother, swept onto the scene, her eyes ablaze with angry fire. "You're not of your right mind, son. The Seer is no threat to your rule."Anger twisted in his features, but Elara didn't move an inch. "Hear me, Rowan," she commanded firmly. "The Seer means something to the pack, and we stand in need of him. Just because you feel a little paranoid and jealous is really just not worth it.Anger flashed in Rowan's eyes, yet somehow, Elara had her words pierce through the blind rage. He breathed hard, and with a certain amount of time passing, the contorted face evened out to that mask of normalcy."I'm sorry, Seer," he said finally, gruff. "I think I might have overreacted."I nodded, yet remained wary. "It's okay, Rowan, but let's try keeping the communications open at least, okay?"Rowan nodded, and a smile spread across Elar

Selena’s POVThe entire room went quiet and all attention was immediately directed back to Rowan. Sighing, Rowan relaxed into his seat, arranging the disarrayed papers on his table. I glanced at Raven who sat beside her brother, her gaze traveling through the elders. I knew that she stood by me but her voice didn't have the impact that I needed. I had to bring everyone else to my side. Lifting his eyes to meet mine, he exhaled loudly and leaned forward. "I know that there is something you're hiding Seer, and I know it is something deep if you're this willing to coerce and deceive the elders in your favor," he muttered, his gaze narrowed and fixated on me. "He's never done anything to deserve such accusations--" "Silence, Raven," Rowan shouted, his voice echoing across the room. "Your love for the seer has blinded you. You can't see what I see."My gaze shifted between Raven and her brother and I could feel the tension between them palpable. Raven's lust for me and Rowen's hunger f

Selena’s POV"Take him away from my sight," Rowan commanded. The guards hesitated, exchanging uncertain glances as they thought on Rowan's command. They knew obeying their Alpha would be risky-they were well aware of what I was capable of doing. "You don't want to do this, Rowan," I muttered under my breath my hands dropping to my side as I silently prepared a myriad of spells in my mind. "You're making a mistake." "TAKE HIM!!!" Rowan shouted, his voice cutting through the tension, ignoring my warnings entirely. The wolves behind me growled, charging towards me with feral intent. Sensing the brewing danger, I lifted my hands, my lips moving swiftly as I chanted spells, the guards getting closer with each step. The room crackled with energy as my voice grew louder. The spells poured from my lips like a raging storm, causing the very air itself to shimmer and twist. Bright lights surged from my hand, twirling round my body like a snake on its prey. The guards upon seeing the sudd

Selena's POV"Selena..." The name fell from Rowan's lips in a soft whisper, his voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and rage. The room fell dead still, the tension palpable as my name resounded in everyone's ears. I pulled Rowan's hands away from my hair-he no longer had his deathly grip on it-and stepped back, putting some distance between us. I half-expected him to lunge at me, scream or curse at me, but he remained frozen, his body rigid and his wide eyes locked on me as though he had seen a ghost. A faint smile played on my lips. "Shocked to see me, Rowan?" I asked, the smile growing as I shout out my claws and pressed then against his chin, digging it further until I saw them break the skin. Yet Rowan remained still, oblivious to the pain and the blood dripping down his neck with his gaze still fixed on me. My eyes left him and traveled slowly through the elders seated in their ornate chairs, their expression a mix of shock, disbelief and fear. Some shifted uncomfortabl

Selena’s POVThe sky was just right, painted with the pink shades of dusk. The sun had just begun to set below the horizon and the moon's silhouette was becoming more visible, casting a soft silvery glow over the pack grounds. It's been three days since I stopped down my Seer alias and revealed myself to the pack. The elders after hearing Rowan's secret, deemed him not worthy enough to lead the pack. After much consideration, they decided to make me-the rebel, the deceiver and betrayer-their Alpha. Not that they had any other choice. A large ceremonial fire crackled in the center of the clearing, it's wood snapping loud as the flame roared in time with the steady, pulsating beat of drums. The pack members ringed around it in a circle, faces aglow from the light, their eyes wide and full of a mix of shock and confusion as most of them still couldn't believe the sudden turn of events. I stood at the center, my cloak billowing in the gentle breeze. My heart pounded, not from fear, bu

Selena’s POVOur eyes met and a low, bitter chuckle slipped from Rowan's lips, the sound echoing down the cold, narrow corridor. He leaned back against the damp stone wall, his lips twisting wryly as his laughter died down. "So," he croaked after a while, heavy contempt lacing his voice. "Have you come to gloat, 'Alpha' Selena? Have you come to rub my defeat in my face?"I met his gaze squarely, not rising to his bait. "No," I answered calmly. "I did not come to gloat, Rowan. I came only to ask you a few questions."Rowan's smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, but he masked it so quickly with a scoff that I could have convinced myself I'd merely imagined it. "Questions?" he asked, his brow arched. "What could you possibly want from me now?""I want to know the truth," I muttered, my face void of any emotion. "I want to know why you did what you did."Rowan paused for some moments before laughing again, the sound empty and mirthless. His face clouded over and his smile faded as

ROWAN'S POV I stood at the lack borders, my fists clenched so tightly that my knuckles turned white and my shoulders slumped from the humiliation and rage that weighed down on it. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. The Seer-I still couldn't believe it was all a lie. And when Selena revealed herself, I had miscalculated and underestimated her resolve. She had been hurt, yes-broken even-but I had thought I could still manipulate her, twist the remaining feelings that she had for me to my advantage. But instead, she had turned the tables on me, bared my plan in front of all, and then cast me out as rubbish.I once had been their Alpha, their leader, their protector. But here I was now, about to be tagged as a rogue, to be stripped from everything that I had built. My name was about to be dragged through the mud and the shame of it all was much stronger than the rage inside of me.The cold forest wind bit at my skin, and whispering murmurs from the crowd that had gathered behind me

Karen's POVI watched with amazement as the scene played before me. The servant kept insisting that the door was locked."Karen tell me everything. The door was locked, wasn't it?" Zane asked me, his eyes softening as he walked towards me." I swear that the room was locked Alpha.... "" Enough!!! " Zane roared, turning to face the guard as he did so. "I ran all the way to this place all because of this??"" Karen," he called, turning to face me again. " Was the door ever locked?" I looked up at him for a while and then to the guard. I could remember that I struggled once with the door before the revelation from father, but it was part of the trans. And I wasn't willing to tell him what I saw or what father said.Not now at least."No Zane, it wasn't locked," I said, trying to keep my voice firm. " I'm positive. I wouldn't have forgotten so soon if the door was locked. Zane's eyes furrowing, his face became slightly skeptical. "Are you sure? " he pressed softly, carrasing my cheek

Zane's POVTharen's eyes darted back and forth as he tried to avoid direct contact with my eyes, yet he sounded most convincing."Believe me my lord, I have your best interest at heart," he said, adjusting his clothing and standing erect.I chuckled in an attempt to break a mistrusting ice that I felt was brooding between us. "Don't get me wrong, Tharen. Indeed I have fallen for your convincing gift again."" I perfectly understand, my lord. It's the duty of the seer to stand by the alpha at all times, even using the best of his talents to support his goals and drives. "" Very well said, Tharen, well said, " I replied, turning to shake hands with an elder moving outside.I watched with surprise as Tharen's hands turned into fists, his smile, previously charming and effortless, stiffening."When do you plan to leave, my lord?" he asked, his eyes darting to the side before regained composure. I turned to face him sharply, his gaze meeting mine with an unnerving intensity."Why so tro

ROWAN'S POV Three nights before the war arrived and it blurred past in the haze of tension, strategy, and anticipation. It was filled with activity at first over the night. Whispering commanders in huddled clusters all concocting a means of making the most out of any weakness in enemy defenses. As everyone hurried about, getting themselves busy with one thing or the other, I stood at the center of my tent with my eyes focused on the map lying right across my feet. For the time being, I had been made General to Darius, so they had asked for me to lay out my plans to the commanders again-to strike at the weak eastern flank of the Mystic Shadow Pack.Cain, lead scout, returned with good reconnaissance-the routes the enemy patrolled were predictable, and though their numbers were formidable, they were spread thin across the territory. "We have the advantage," Cain assured me with sharp eyes that gleamed with confidence as he walked out of my tent. Yet a feeling of gnawing unease could n

Zane's POVIn the meeting, I was able to convince the elders that lending a helping hand to mystic shadow pack was the right thing to do at the moment."We have to help them regain stability. That, as you all know would help up in turn have a strengthened alliance," I said, looking at all the elders on their faces."True to word, Alpha Zane, but how do you with to accomplish that , considering the distance between the two packs? " Elder Rhodes who sat opposite me asked, his face ladened with concern.I took a deep breath. "I'll have to go there.""Oh you truly don't mean that Alpha Zane, do you? " Thanos asked, sharing glances with other elders around him.I knew it would be hard to convince them to see reasons with my suggestion, but I had to give it a try."The newly coronated Alpha of mysticshadow pack is no other than our very own Seer, Selena."As I said this, I watched as the expression on their faces changed from surprise on my earlier suggestion, to a greater surprise at the d

Karen's POVMy eyes could properly carve out the intricate contours of his face. At first he seemed to be smiling, the with a more intense view, I was dead sure that the cloud wasn't smiling, not at all. His mouth seemed to be open as he looked down at me, his face more like he was about to scold me for doing something out of place.I looked down again, noting the wonderful pack members once more. Trying as hard as I could to place away his face from my memory.Father lied to me, and that's what seemed to have mattered at the moment. I just couldn't believe that my whole life was one of lies and deceit. How could he do that to me? No one gave him the right to do so.No one.Looking up at the sky again, the cloud had disappeared and all I could see were different patches of white across the wide blue sky.I quietly pondered on the frowning face, hoping that it wasn't a revelation or something, for truly, I cared less. He lied to me and that's enough reason not to fret at any damn revel
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 110
ROWAN'S POV The tension in the air was palpable and every single person could feel it. The firelight from the torch danced like a specter across the walls, adding an effect that only made the tension rise. The cold air from outside blew hard into the tent, yet beads of sweat races down my face.Before me stood Darius, his stance rigid and his hands behind his back. He has ordered for the guards to take off the ropes so I was no longer bound. Still, my shoulders slumped, weighed heavy by the situation. The once-dominant Alpha paced about the room in firm, sharp steps, set ablaze with unspoken hot calculation.Finally, Darius stopped and turned to me, his glare cutting. "If I let you walk out of here, it's not because I trust you," he muttered as he took a some steps towards my direction. "I let you walk because because your hatred for the... Selena burns almost as hot as mine." I had explained to him the story of how Selena really was the Seer so his pause and correction before saying

Karen's POV"Talk to me Karen, what's truly wrong with you?" Zane asked, getting up from his sit and walking towards the bed."I said I'm fine!" I cried loudly. Tears were begining to well up in my eyes as I faced the window.I was hurt and in intense pain. Mother's painful death took a toll on me as I sat in the hospital bed, sobbing within me.Zane, obviously staring at me for a while, said nothing as he stood up from the bed."I've always known."The words were like a bombshell to my ears. I sat up on my bed, my ears twinging. I watched as he folded his hands behind him, his back on me."You do?"He slowly turned to face me, his face plane and his eyes unrevealing."Strange right?" he asked, his hands still clasped behind him." Of course it's strange!!" I yelled, placing my hand immediately on my head as my head began to ache. "How long have you known about it?"His face turned serious as he walked towards me. "I felt the same way too, Karen. I couldn't believe it. It was just too
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 108
Karen's POVThe effect of the information was too much to bear. As I paced around the room, my mind was racing with thoughts and emotions, and began to feel like I was going to collapse. My legs felt more like a jelly, my breath coming in short gasps, and I felt my heart racing like a wide animal.Looking around the study room, images of my dead parents and other old servants began too appear around me, taking very familiar positions. It was more like a picture, only that this time they were moving and creating the very conversations that I cherished the most."No, Zane. She's your sister. Give her some of your bread,"I heard mother say as she leaned to read out a poem from a book."Yes. We attack by sunrise!!" the chief warrior said, emphasizing on the last words, but speaking in a bit of a whisper.Father only nodded, his eyes fixed on me. A wide smile escaped his lips as he locked eyes with me."Karen, my dear. Come now," he called, gesturing for me to come closer to him. "I'll be
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 107
Karen's POVWatching Zane walk around the pack house, his broad shoulders coming and leaving view, a pang of sadness usually enveloped me. We've always been siblings, or at least thought we were. Not until I discovered the letter.The letter that changed it all.It was on a cold night, all the guards had retired to their place of sleep. Still assuming that I would eventually become the next seer of the pack, I took a walk of discovery.As I walked, I couldn't help but notice the way my feet seemed to draw along the floor, as if heavy with the weight of the whole pack.Little did I know that I would discover something that would eventually change my entire perspective about Zane.The darkness of the might had enveloped me like a shroud as I wandered through the dimly lit corridors. I knew I was into something interesting, as my wolf kept drawing me out of my room and along the way to the study. The soft glow of the candelabras cast eerie shadows on the walls as I moved towards the st
