The Betrayed Luna Chapter 35 : Burned Bridges
Chapter 35: Burned Bridges*Delilah*“I want to take some time.” I got up and walked out of the conference room without looking back. My hands were shaking and my bottom lip trembled as tears threatened to spill. I took a deep breath, walking down the hall. I heard the conference room door open and footsteps running toward me.I turned to find Andrew, his face full of concern, coming down the hall at a trot.I stopped, waiting for him and when he got to me he immediately pulled me to him, hugging me tightly. I cried softly into his chest, gripping his shirt in my hands. He rubbed his hands up and down my back softly, not saying a word. Finally, I took a deep breath and pulled back, wiping my hands over my face. He ran his hands up and down my arms as he looked into my eyes. “What can I do?”I shook my head and laughed at the absurd situation we were in. “I have no clue. What I do know is that I need to find my father. We have a lot to discuss.”He no

Chapter 36: Meeting My Family*Andrew*I couldn’t believe after everything I’d done to bring her back to the pack I was on the brink of losing her again. My dad and I pulled up to the front door and I immediately walked in to find her. She was with the kids in their suite and they all smiled when they saw him. Their smiles never failed to make me feel like everything would be okay, at least for a second. “Daddy, guess what? I made a water tornado today!” Flora said, running and jumping, expecting me to catch her. I did effortlessly, of course. “Oh my gosh! That’s amazing! Boys, how’d you guys do?”I sat on the couch next to Delilah, setting Flora on her feet. I kissed Delilah on the cheek, draping my arm behind her on the couch. I could smell her shampoo and the scent of her underneath. She always smelled like home. “I made Miss Lenora confused. She forgot what we were even doing,” Kyle said softly.“I had to count leaves on a tree,” Cody said through a huff.

Chapter 37: Not Without a Fight*Andrew*Today was the first day of official negotiations between our council and the council for the Gallaway pack. I wasn’t looking forward to it at all. This had just started to come together for me and Delilah. We were finally together and acting like a family. They were my family, and I didn’t want them to go anywhere. I looked at all of them as we ate breakfast and drank in the sound of their laughs and the smiles on their faces. I knew that Delilah’s time with our pack had been anything but perfect, but it was better now. I was better now.Yes, she was stolen from the Gallaway pack, over twenty years ago. She was my mate now, and she would be the Lluna of the entire pack eventually. She belonged here, with me.The last time another pack was here I’d insisted the kids stay home from school, and they’d almost been kidnapped. I decided this time to just let them continue as normal. I kissed Delilah bye and took the kids to scho

Chapter 38: Going Back*Delilah*I picked the kids up from school, Andrew had come home around lunch but he was in a bad mood. He said negotiations got a little heated but didn’t really go into detail and I didn’t push. I didn’t even know how I felt about all of this. And I knew no matter what anyone decided, ultimately it was up to me what happened. This was all assuming I said yes to anything they talked about.As the kids piled in the backseat and buckled their seatbelts I felt my phone buzz. It was a text from Bethany. “We’d like to see you guys tonight for dinner if you’re up to it. No pressure.”I put my phone back into my purse and pulled out of the school parking lot. “So, my friend Zach said there are some people here from another pack. Who are they?”I sighed. I hadn’t told them much because I didn't really know what to say. It was all so dark and I didn’t want to traumatize them any more than this year already had. But they deserved to know too. “

Chapter 39: Ding Dong, The Witch is Back*Delilah*I pulled up to the house and saw a car I didn’t recognize in the driveway. The kids and I got out, making our way inside.“Andrew?” I called out but didn’t hear a response. I shrugged and the kids were already moving at a trot down the hallway to our wing of the house. I followed behind them and shot Andrew a quick text, asking where he was and who was here. “Delilah, so good to see you.”I came to a halt, and the kids did too. My blood ran cold at the voice and I hardened my gaze as I stared at the person I hated the most.“Kendra, what are you doing here in my house?”I said the last part with a bit of a bite and put my hands on the kids’ shoulders protectively.“I came to talk to you, I was hoping we could discuss some things. Hi kids, how are you guys doing?”She smiled at them but I felt Kyle flinch back against me. “Kids, go ahead and go to your rooms or the suite. I’ll be there soon.”They all no

Chapter 40: Out the Window*Delilah*Flying out the door, I raced down the hall. This couldn’t be happening again. And now, this was someone from my grandparents’ pack, it had to be. I seethed with anger as I approached the room. I heard the grunting and the sounds of my children fighting. I slammed the door open, taking in the scene before me. A man, who looked familiar, was holding Cody off the ground as Flora and Kyle launched themselves at his legs over and over. They were standing in front of the window, the man trying to pull himself that way. The kids held onto his pants as Cody kicked, trying to keep him from getting any closer to the exit. “Drop them!” I screamed and heard my children scream with relief.The man didn’t say a word, but pulled Cody closer to him instead, gritting his teeth at me. I knew I couldn’t shift and fight him with his arms around Cody. I had to figure out a way to get him free before I could even try to fight. But I was going to figh

Chapter 41: Family History*Delilah*I stared at Jamie, the man claiming to be an old friend of my father’s with disbelief. “What do you mean you’re a friend of my father’s? He doesn’t have any friends outside this pack.”Jamie chuckled, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms over his chest. “We were friends before he brought you to this pack.”I stayed silent and looked at him, hoping he would just continue on his own. I didn’t know my dad well as it was, I had no idea who he was friends with honestly. I didn’t even think he had many friends now. “Before you guys went on the run and became rogues, he was friends with me and the other guys you met tonight as well. Back when he was still part of the Gallaway pack.”Jamie looked at me then, clearly hoping he had piqued my interest. And he had. I wanted to know more and I wouldn’t deny it.“Are you guys part of the Gallaway pack then? Is this some poor attempt to bring me back into the fold?” I glared a

Chapter 42: Confronting the Past*Andrew*It had only been a day since Delilah was kidnapped but already I was wondering how she managed to handle everything. The kids didn’t go to school and they were anxious. Unfortunately, I wasn’t what they wanted to comfort them. They’d always run to Delilah for that and realizing they couldn’t do that only made them more upset. We’d just finished breakfast and I was supposed to meet with Logan and Bethany shortly but I didn’t see how I would do that while watching the kids. And I didn’t want to let them out of my sight. I sent a text to Bethany asking her and Logan to come to my house so I could keep an eye on the kids while we discussed what to do next. I was outside watching the kids play together when my dad walked out.“What’s the plan for today? I know we’re supposed to meet with the Gallaway pack council but it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen.” He looked out toward the kids, smiling slightly.When I’d call

The Betrayed Luna Chapter 80 : The Proposal
Months Later*Andrew*The gardens looked perfect. The gazebo was decorated with fairy lights and had flowers scattered around the edge of it. I paced the gardens, double-checking everything to make sure everything was in order. Flora had corralled the boys and sent them to work on finalizing touches. Kyle and Cody argued a bit, but Flora kept them in line. I watched them work with a smile on my face. I was so grateful that they had been able to participate, and I know that all three of them were thrilled by today’s event.“Okay, everything looks perfect,” my dad said with a slap to my back. He had a grin on his face as he looked around at the work we had put in. Dad’s grin grew as he watched my mom work with Flora, Kyle, and Cody. “Do you think she’ll like it?” I asked, worried as my nerves started setting in.“I think she will love it,” Mom said, coming to join us. “Now, come on. We are going to go have dinner at our house and we will be back before you propose. I will t
The Betrayed Luna Chapter 79 : Taking Our Time
*Delilah*“Mom, Zach told me today that we are basically heroes now,” Flora said as we walked inside together. I smiled, making sure not to laugh and discourage her. “Did he really? I mean, you guys kind of are.” Andrew shut the door after he and the boys walked in behind me and Flora. “Yeah, I mean how many kids can say they could get away from a full-grown wolf?” Andrew asked. I looked over my shoulder at him adoringly and he winked at me as he quirked the corner of his mouth up in a smile. We had been spending as much time together as a family as we could lately and tonight was no different. We had plans to have a movie night and watch the kids' favorite animated movie. I took them outside to run off some energy before dinner. They managed to pull me and Andrew into a game of hide-and-seek. I was able to find him every time but nobody could manage to find me anytime I hid. Kids were never great at hiding or seeking and I could only help so much. I stepped away
The Betrayed Luna Chapter 78 : Back to Normal?
*Delilah*“Mom, we’re fine. You and Daddy beat all the bad guys.” Flora looked at me with irritation in her gaze. “I just want to make sure you guys are ready for this. You have all been through a lot and–”“Mom, we want to go back to school,” Kyle said in a serious tone. I glanced at him through the rearview mirror and saw that they all looked eager, excited even. I sighed and nodded, smiling to myself. “Okay, okay.” We pulled up to the front of the school and they all unbuckled and grabbed their bags in seconds. They all told me bye as they flew out of the car, happy to be back with their friends. I watched them go into the school before I drove off. It was so hard to watch them walking away, even if I knew they would be safe. “Mom … moooooom?”Cody’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts and back to the moment. “Sorry, babe. What’d you say?”“I asked if we could have a feast for dinner?”I chuckled. His version of a feast was just having multiple pl
The Betrayed Luna Chapter 77 : Saying Goodbye
*Delilah*I fixed the back of my earring and sighed as I looked in the mirror. My injuries from the various fights I’d been in were finally healed but I couldn’t say the same for my mind. Today was the day we all said goodbye to Kendra. Despite what she’d done, I still mourned for her. She was like my blood and at one time, I’d loved her dearly. I remember being a child and being so excited to have a younger sister. I thought we’d be best friends and that I’d always have someone there for me. And someone I could be there for. Our lives hadn’t ended up that way, but for a while there I thought we were finally getting close to that. I still had a hard time believing that she had been so nice to me and to the kids all while planning to have them kidnapped. Andrew said that the only reason they attacked was to be a decoy for Kendra to get the kids, and then eventually me. One of the prisoners had easily given up the information after the battle was over. The Carter pack wasn’t e
The Betrayed Luna Chapter 76 : Aftermath
*Delilah*After the fight ended, I stayed huddled with my children, fingers linked together. I vowed never to let go of them, at least for the rest of the week. I knew I would have to let them be away from me for school and pack activities but I wasn’t ready to let go of them any time soon.“Delilah,” Andrew whispered, “Delilah, it’s over. It is all over. Everything is alright.”I didn’t respond, knowing it wasn’t alright but scared to face the reality of what happened. So instead, I buried my head into the bundle of children. They smelled so delicious; like shampoo, sweat, dirt, and soap. I couldn't imagine if I had lost them. They still smelled like babies to me, so I inhaled deeply. Andrew approached us and wrapped his large arms around all four of us. I felt a sense of calm fall over me. The safety of his arms was powerful and I knew our children could feel it too. They had all stopped shaking and crying and we all silently held each other. “What about Kendra?” I asked
The Betrayed Luna Chapter 75 : It’s Over
*Delilah*I quickly whirled around, scooping the kids with my back leg and tail and flinging them as gently as I could behind me. My attacker pulled up quickly, snapping her jaws shut short of my neck as I bit down. Shock coursed through my veins like ice as I took in the sight of the snarling wolf that was my sister. I crouched low and growled, gnashing my teeth at her. She backed up and shifted into her human form. “Why did you have to come back?” she all but screeched at me, desperation filling her eyes.I shifted as well and looked at her with wide eyes as I threw my hands in the air. “Why are you doing this, Kendra? Was tormenting me in high school not enough for you, you had to try to hurt my children?” I roared at her. I was done being nice to her, done trying to reason with her. She’d gone too far and I would make sure that after this day, she never thought about even looking at my children again. I chanced a glance at them and she took that opportunity to sh
The Betrayed Luna Chapter 74 : Mom to the Rescue
*Delilah*I fled away from the fighting as fast as I could. I smelled the children in the forest that bordered our lands. What on earth were they doing there? I picked up another familiar scent as I ran but I ignored it. The only thing that mattered to me at that moment was my kids.I sprinted, leaping into the air as a wolf tried to attack me and landing on his back, sprinting away as another member of the Blackwell pack came up and finished off the wolf.My nightmare had prepared me for this happening and it at least had managed to help me remain calm. This was the second or third kidnapping attempt on my children in less than a year. I couldn’t imagine what they must be feeling at that moment. The thought spurred me on and I increased my speed as I cleared the battlefield and darted down a trail. As I ran the kids’ scents got stronger and stronger and I knew I was on the right path. Whoever was trying to take my children better have an army because I was ready to run like a
The Betrayed Luna Chapter 73 : Saving My Luna
*Andrew*I focused on the wolves around me. The Carter pack wasn’t small, and it seemed like they’d brought a large force with them. I had to admit I was impressed by their determination to defeat us. But it wouldn’t grant any of them mercy. I didn’t care why they were here, only that they learned that they would pay for daring to invade my territory. I didn’t know how many wolves I’d downed at that point, but it wasn’t a small number. I whipped around as a wolf tried to attack my hind leg. I jumped, pinning his back with my front paws as I leaned down and snapped his neck in my jaws. I dropped the wolf to the ground and looked around, snarling. My wolves were doing well, and it looked like we had very few casualties. Some wolves were dragged away from the battle by others and healers were quick to attend to their injuries. It seemed like the Carter pack might have been retreating. I was slowly but surely moving toward the leader, making sure to take out whoever came into my
The Betrayed Luna Chapter 72 : Run for it
*Flora*Walking through the woods, following Aunt Kendra, had grown tiring. I wanted to go home to sleep. She had woken us “Flora.” Kyle nudged me. He had been the quietest during our journey through the woods but I don’t think he was playing the same game Cody way. “Flora.” Kyle nudged me again and I shot him a look before glancing back at Aunt Kendra.“Shh, Kyle,” I said to him. I wanted Aunt Kendra to like me and if she was trying to help keep us safe then I needed to listen to her and keep quiet. “Flora, listen to me,” Kyle insisted with a harsh whisper. I grumbled but let him pull me back, slowing our pace to distance us from Cody and Aunt Kendra. When we were far enough away from them, Kyle leaned toward me and I leaned into him. “I don’t know how to explain it,” Kyle started.“Just try, Kyle,” I encouraged, smiling at my brother. “Aunt Kendra,” Kyle paused again, thinking about how to phrase it for me. “Aunt Kendra, well, her colors are off.”“What do y
