The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 100
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

Selena's POV"What are you doing?" I mustered incredible courage to ask him, noting the defenselessness of my entire system. Noting a guard pass us seemed to have heightned my resolve to put myself together.With a subtle movement, I withdrew my hand, my fingers slipping out of his grasp, and my entire body too. He didn't utter a word, instead his eyebrow furrowed, his eyes narrowing slightly as he watched me.I knew he surely would fail to comprehend me."I'm really sorry Zane. It's just that I need time. "" Time? " he asked, my wolf happily growling as his bass voice echoed all through." Yes Zane. I need time. That's all I need from you at this point. "Selena," he called in a whisper, walking towards me slowly, in an intimidating manner. "Do you need time to heal? Heal with me then. I'll heal you here, and here, and also here, " he said simultaneously pointing at my head, my neck and my fingers. "Stop it, oh stop please.... Zane!!!" I called, giggling and turning around to avo

Zane's POVStepping away from Mystic shadow pack and away from Selena made my heart bleed. Riding my horse through the rolling heels and verdant forests, the feeling of emptiness that had settled within me was unshakable. All the memories was still in one piece. The memories of Selena's lips on mine, the feeling of her body against mine, her laughter and free spiritedness, all lingered in my mind likened to a ghostly presence.Glancing over at Thane my beta who was sitting beside me, I noticed that his eyes was fixed on my face, his expression blank."Troubled? I sense it," he asked, quicky reverting his direction and facing ahead.Clenching my fist and facing ahead, I tried to avoid the irritation that I felt at that question. I really didn't want to admit how much Selena had gotten under my skin. "I'll be fine, as much as I am," I said to him.Thane's eyes flickered with concern but he tried to maintain a neutral face. As we rode on, the silence between Thane and me was palpab

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
