The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 97
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

ROWAN'S POVRain lashed down on us like arrows, soaking us to the bone as we trudged through the forest which had now been enveloped in darkness. The canopy provided scant shelter above, and with each heavy step that we took, the mud sucked at our already worn out boots. My hold on Raven's hard tightened, practically dragging her as her energy ebbed away with every passing minute. Not one word had slipped out of her lips ever since we left the dungeon and it scared me. Her steps came in staggers, her breaths shallow gasps, but still I knew I couldn't stop. To stop meant to give up, and I couldn't afford that, not now or ever."Just a little bit further," I muttered more to myself than to Raven as we moved on. In truth, I had no idea how much further we did actually need to go, but it was said to soothe him. Still, even I heard the lie in my voice. I lifted my eyes, blocking the rain which seemed never-ending from hitting my eyes. Before us was just one endless forest: only a maze of

Selena's POVI finally felt peace. The battle seemed to be over. Walking into the royal courtroom, the high,vaulted ceiling room seemed to stretch up to the heavens,it's intricate stone carvings and gilded details glinting in the soft, golden light that poured in through the window. The rays of the sun stealing it's way into the courtroom served as a signal of relative peace,and I felt an inward relaxation.My wolf was pleased.Sitting on the throne, my fingers grasping the ornate armrests, I could imagine Zane sitting beside me. his eyes locked in mine.Oh, Zane.My wolf gave a chorus of howls at the thought of Zane,his strong jawline coming resurfacing in my memory, his broad shoulders seeming to envelope me, sweeping me off my present state. It all seemed like a dream that I was mated to him.My Zane.Just at the height of my imagination, a young lad, one I preferred to carry simply messages around the pack house burst into the room,his face flushed with the excitement of a young

Karen's POV"Stay away from me, you....Nitwit!!" I heard myself say, my wolf still being nothing but a heck within me.Zane at that moment took steps towards me, his eyes fixed on me. "This is strange," he whispered to my hearing, his face turning serious." You dare call me names Karen!!"I pulled on my hair, looking down and sideways again. " Yes!! and I'll call you more if you don't step away from me this instant!!"I struggled to maintain the anger I felt over Zane and the extra bolts of action and emotional instability my wolf provided.Was I going crazy?"Karen calm down!!" Zane commanded again, taking forceful steps towards. " Come on now, you need some rest!!"I saw myself taking steps backwards against my will. In good times I'd be very willing to take steps towards him, getting lost in his embrace.I still wanted to, but I just couldn't do that, I couldn't see myself doing that. I pulled on my hair again, trying to keep my self in a stable place for him to get close to me, b
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 189
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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 187
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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 185
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
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 184
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
