The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 10
"A wolf." "The rogue's shifting." The murmurs from the crowd around me had begun to intensify, making me much more disoriented. I looked around, trying to hold onto something as the entire room began to spin."What's going on?" I screamed as i looked down at my hands, watching as the hair on it began to grow. "What's happening to me?" Suddenly, a deafening silence fell upon the crowd-so quiet that I could hear each heartbeat. But something told me it wasn't the silence that caused it. I tried to speak when I suddenly realized that I had lost the feeling of my mouth and organs. I knew I still had them on but... it was different."She's turned to a wolf, a white one," one of the pack members shouted, confusion and shock etched in his voice."Look, the mark of the crescent moon," a shrill voice said. I turned to see who had spoken and found the priestess pointing at me before bowing down. Suddenly, Alpha Zane did the same and soon, everyone in the hall had their heads bowed down towar

Selena's POVThe alpha stood there, staring at me, his eyes wide and unblinking, frozen in astonishment. "What do you mean, Selena?" he asked, disbelief and a hint of anger in his voice. "You're the answer to the plea of all, your abilities can take the entire werewolf race into a better place." He paused, taking his piercing eyes off me and staring at the werewolves behind. "All these werewolves gathered here...""....hoping that I would be executed," I said, interrupting him. "Yes, they really are here to see me scream in pain. They don't like me, they only like what I can do with the powers they think I possess." I was already in tears. I tried to stay strong in front of him, wiping the tears off my eyes. "If the stone had turned red, the whole scenario would have changed. I would be on my way to the beyond at the moment. " The tears were already pouring real hard. I couldn't control it anymore, my wolf couldn't control it. I cried, my face squeezing hard as I did. All the pain an

Selena's POVWe remained in the infirmary, Zane providing the comfort that I needed. He was like a shield for me against all my pain. I looked down at my belly and my rage instantly renewed again. "He must pay," I repeated, my eyes blazing with intensity, narrowed into determined slits. "Who," Zane asked, drawing my hands to his. He stood up at that point, wiping tears away from my eyes. I gave no reply to his question, my mouth set in a thin, resolute line. I was getting more depressed, considering the fact that Rowen could be living the life of his dreams as the Alpha of a pack that didn't evenbelong to him. Thoughts of him kept me pained, making me to resolve deeply at getting my revenge on him. "Raven," I called under my breadth. "She too must pay."At that moment Zane stood up, drawing his face to me and staring deeply into my eyes. "I'm sorry, Selena, but I must leave now," he said, standing upright. "I'll be back.""I'm leaving with you," I said, my eyes on his."What do you

Rowan's POVThe fire in the fireplace crackled as it rose, filling the entire room with a warm orange light. Shadows danced behind me as the heat in the room rose. I leaned back on my seat and turned to the painting that I had bought the other day, studying the intricate patterns on it when suddenly, the door behind me opened. "You called for me brother." I turned my head slightly and found my sister, Raven, closing the door behind her and slowly walking up to me. "Is there any problem--" "There's something I have to tell you," I said, cutting her short before she could finish speaking. "It's... something that I do not want to leave this room." Ravens brow knitted together as she crossed her hand, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and caution. She took a few steps closed to me, her gaze never leaving mine. "What is it, Rowan?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "You must keep this confidential, top secret," I continued, my eyes fixed sternly at her."I promise to

Selena's POVI took in a deep breath, the wind coming from outside my new shrine blowing into the cave, causing my dress to rustle. I ran my hands over the wolf laying down on the bed in front of me. My hand glowed white as my hand came over his chest and I felt a power surge through me into the wolf. The light from my hands rippled through his body and he let out a soft sigh. I had healed his wolf. "May the moon goddess bless the day you stepped into this pack," he said, sitting up on the bed. "Thank you.""It's a pleasure," I said with a smile as I watched him come down from the bed and head to the door. "And don't forget to pass your compliments to the Alpha. He made all these possible," I added as I waved gently at him.My mood immediately changed the moment he closed the door behind him. It's been four months since I started healing wolves in the pack and my name had spread quickly like wild fire across the breadth and depth of the entire pack and beyond. Yet I felt incomplete

Rowen's POV"Thank you," I said to the maid, watching as she picked up the tray that she had brought my food with and walked away. Sighing, I picked up the fork by the side of my plate and stabbed the meat in front of me with it.It's been three days since I revealed to my sister what was going on with me. She had sent word to a certain wolf in our pack that she believed could help, asking that he bring the news of my predicament to the wolf in Moonstone pack. We were waiting for his response. I plopped the piece of meat that I had cut off into my mouth and began chewing on it when the door in front of me suddenly opened. I looked up and found Raven entering the room, her eyes scanning the place. "There's no one in here," I said to her as I returned my attention back to the food on my plate. "The talk went well," Raven stated as she fully entered the room, shutting the door from the hearing of others. "He has agreed to help." My attention still on my food, I nodded as I cut out an

Selena's POV"If I heard you clearly, you're here by the order of your Alpha, and you wish to secretly convey me to your pack?" I asked the man standing in front of me, my brows slightly furrowed. "Yes, my lord," he replied, his head bowed and his hand brought before him. A spell from the Pack's witch helped disguised me as a male whenever members of other packs come around for help. My true gender was a mystery to foreigners, as my pack members kept to their word that they wouldn't reveal my true identity to anyone, so I enjoyed the mystery that surrounded my reputation. "And what's the name of your pack again?" I asked him, noting his choice of dressing. "I was sent by the Alpha of Mystic shadow pack, my lord, and with me are the numerous gifts and presents he asked me to offer you," he replied, just as a guard brought bags of gemstones and carats of gold. He smiled as it was brought in, seemingly hoping that I would fall for all the brightness."Hmm," I grunted as I stroke my c

Selena’s POV"You will act on his desperation," Zane said. I looked up at him, not sure of what meant by that."What do you mean? He's an established Alpha that would certainly address me as a male wolf," I replied, moving shifting a little so that I could see his face. "So how do I act on his desperation?""Hmm," he said, his eyes leaving mine for a moment. Returning them back, he asked, "tell me, what do you think he likes the most? What gives him pleasure more than anything else?"I stood up from my seat and walked very slowly to the other end of the room, my eyes staring into the empty space before me. "Power, money.... but mostly power," I said, staring at the painting of Zane's father, clad in armor and sitting on a horse. "What he wants the most is the desire to rule.""Power, you say?" I turned back and saw a smile spreading across Zane's face. "He can't be the alpha if his wolf is dead. Surely he can't, can he?""Of course he can't. He would be seen as a weak tool, unable to

Selena's POVAs I struggled to get a hold of my composure, Elara's voice cut through the silence like a knife, snapping me into reality. "So Seer," she said, her eyes slightly narrowing as she turned toward me. "What is your intended course of action in our pack?A feeling of wariness rose up, as though there was something not quite straightforward about her question. I didn't immediately answer, taking a little extra time with my choice of words."I plan on helping the pack however I can," I said, trying to be as vague as possible. "I have certain. abilities that may be useful to the pack."Elara's eyes seemed to bore into mine, as if rummaging for any hidden motives inside me. "I see," she said, her tone dripping with skepticism. "And what makes you think you can help us, Seer? We have struggled with certain issues, and we have not been able to find a solution for them.I sensed that Elara was trying to probe me, testing whether I knew more than I was letting on. So I decided to pla
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 84
Selena's P.O.V.As we rode through the pack on horseback, Rowan took the lead on his own horse while I was on my horse right after him. The pack watched as we passed, curiosity and reverie upon their faces.He led the horse along twisting pathways, showing me landmarks and various other features. I followed him on horseback, scanning the surroundings.We passed a huge stone fountain where some of the young wolves were playing and laughing with each other. We passed several cabins built of wood, every one of them having various wood carvings with colors and bright tapestry.As we approached the Great Pack House, I could feel the strange energy emanating from that building-a sense of power and history that seemed to seep from the very stones themselves.Rowan drew rein, stopping us in front of a large pack house. Turning to me, his pride showed in his shining eyes. "Welcome to the Royal Pack House, Seer," he said, proud, his voice low. "This is the centre of our pack, our family home wh

Selena's POV"You've master the art of horse riding, I can tell," Rowan complimented as we approached the large gates of his pack. "There's more to you than a seer."I gave no reply to him as I silently led the horse to into the pack, trying hard to avoid the gazes of the people."The Seer's here. It's him," the pack members murmured as I rode alongside Rowan into the pack."The Seer would bring fortune and good tidings, blessings to you Seer," a little werewolf exclaimed, waving at me with full energy. I smiled down at her little face, memories of the pack I was born and bred flooding me. A wave of nostalgia washed over me at that point as i still galloped on the horse. The familiar buildings, scent damp earth and wildflowers enveloping me.I was home.Still on the horse, I closed my eyes, letting the memories flood into my heart and consume a greater part of me. I instantly recalled running through these woods as a young werewolf of the royal lineage, my paws pounding against the fa

Selena's POV"Why do you look bothered?" Rowan asked, peering into my eyes intently as he leaned closer to me."There's something I feel I should know, Seer."I couldn't hide my surprise at his question, and I quickly looked away, trying to compose myself. "I'm fine," I said, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just a little...preoccupied with the construction plans."Rowan raised an eyebrow, his eyes glinting with skepticism. "I see," he said, his voice dripping with doubt. "Well, if you're sure you're okay...then I'll let it drop. For now."I felt a shiver run down my spine at his words, and I quickly looked away, trying to hide my reaction. But as I glanced back at Rowan, I couldn't help but feel like he had seen right through me.And as I turned my horse around, preparing to leave, I couldn't shake the feeling that Rowan was watching me, his eyes boring into my back like a brand.I urged my horse forward, feeling a sense of relief wash over me as I put distance between myself and Rowan.

The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 81
Selena's POVAs I rode alone on the horse, the rhythmic thud of the horse's hooves on the earthly terrain lured me into a state of deep contemplation.My mind seemed to be in a conflict between my desires for Zane and Rowan. Earlier on I thought my mind had been long occupied with nothing but my planned revenge against Rowan, but seeing him this past few days, all my mind could think of was the way his attention on me sent shivers down my spine.Zane, ever loving and caring, also occupied my mind, the feeling of his flexible muscles on me whenever he wraps me with his arms, his gentle deep commanding voice and his tall stand. His piercing blue eyes and chiseled features etched on my memory as the trees seemed to close in behind me, it's branches tangling together in it's own pattern.One thing was for sure, Rowan would get what's coming to him. Raven too. But it would take a greater courage than I thought to fulfil my long desire of revenge and complete conquer.I sat still on the sad
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 80
Selena's POVAs we walked silently through the corridors, the howling of long condemned prisoners rented through the air. I paid attention to the sounds they made, hoping to perhaps hear the familiar growling of Xaren.But I heard none."We need to get you disguised," Zane said, turning towards me and cutting through my thought process. "We can't have Rowan see you as you are, your true Identity."I nodded, understanding fully.Surprisingly, Zane reached into his cloak and pulled out a small bag."Take, this would be enough disguise while you are away," he said, handing me the bag.Taking the bag, I zipped it open, pulling out a pair of male fits. I quickly went into an enclosure and changed into them, feeling an odd sense of familiarity as I dressed into the male clothes. I was already getting use to the male's perspective.Zane handed me a cloak as soon as got out, which I wrapped round my shoulders. "One more thing," he said, putting his hand into his pocket and pulling out a sma

Selena's POV "But Zane," I started, looking into his eyes. "The Aeges stone cannot be wielded without the authority of the Seer. " " That's what we thought, but she insisted that there are other ways of using it to determine the truth," Zane replied. "No, that can't be true," I said, taking a step backwards. Things were just happening so fast. "Take it easy Selena, come," he said, drawing me closer to him, the metal bars our only demarcation. "Whatever happens, I'll make sure your life and existence comes before mine." That was so sweet of him. At least I felt protected, but not from the Aeges stone I knew. If wielded wrongly it could harm or kill even an innocent werewolf. Then I remembered. "Zane. There's something I think you should know. The Aeges stone, " I paused, looking into his eyes. " The last time I observed it, it looked... fake." I had expected him to flare up, to react, but he kept calm, his entire being in rapt attention. "We'll get to the bottom of that. But
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 78
Selena's POVAs the day passed by, the silence in the cell became more and more oppressive, it's thickness seeming to overshadow me. Pacing back and forth in the cell, my mind raced with thoughts and doubts. Would Zane ever come for me? Would I end up here forever?Karen would surely desire that greatly. As the hours passed by, my thoughts quickly turned to desperation. I was hungry and thirsty, and the cold, damp air was starting to seep into my bones."Help, anybody," I managed to cry with the last breath that I could possibly muster. But there was not reply from anyone.I wrapped my hands around myself, trying to warm myself up, but it was no use. The darkness seemed to press around me, prompting me to close my eyes and try to focus on breathing. At least that was the only process I could hold on to for survival.I slowly began to lose hope. Maybe I'd be left to die here. Maybe it was my fate, written in the stars.But just as I was about to completely give up, I heard the sounds
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 77
Selena's POVThe guards pushed the door open, revealing a set of steep stairs that led down into the darkness.One of the guards gestured for me to precede him down the stairs, and I did, my heart heavy with despair. As we descended deeper into the dungeons, the air grew colder and damper, the smell of mold and decay filling my nostrils.We reached the bottom of the stairs and found ourselves in a long, narrow corridor, lined with cells on either side. The guards led me to the end of the corridor, where a single cell stood, its door open and waiting.The guard gestured for me to enter, and I did, my heart sinking with despair. As I stepped inside, the guard closed the door behind me, the sound of the iron door clanging shut echoing through the corridor.I was alone, trapped in the darkness of the dungeons, with no way out. I leaned against the cold stone wall, my eyes adjusting slowly to the darkness. I could hear the sound of scurrying rodents, the creaking of the old wooden beams, a
