The Betrayed Luna Chapter 64 : Do I Belong Here?
*Delilah*I woke up with Andrew’s arm wrapped around me, his gentle breathing told me he was still asleep. I slowly slid out from under him and walked silently to the bathroom, closing the door softly. I started the water, turning it to basically boiling and letting the steam build before I stripped my overlarge T-shirt off and climbed into the water. The hot water rolled over my body, soaking my hair through. It felt amazing and I stayed in longer than I meant to. I heard the door crack open as I shut the water off and saw Andrew standing there, staring at me unabashedly with desire in his eyes. I chuckled and wrapped a towel around my body as I walked toward him. “Like what you see?”“More than I can express,” he said, wrapping his arms around my waist. I blushed. I still wasn’t used to the way he wanted me, and the way I wanted him. Our bond was strong. I couldn’t deny it and I didn’t want to. But everything between us was all still so new. I’d been alone for so long

*Andrew*It had been two days since Delilah’s birthday and things between us were great. I really felt like we had started to turn a corner in our relationship. I played with the ring in my pocket under the table, anxious to give it to her.I was at the pack house for the day, working on negotiations with the Gallaway pack. We were discussing the best trade routes and I couldn’t keep my focus on our conversation. I already had arrangements made for tonight. I arranged for the park to be closed down for the night starting around dusk. A chef was going to set up an outdoor kitchen to serve us as well. I hoped it would be a romantic night for us both. I wanted her to have the world and I was going to show that to her with how I treated her tonight. Being Alpha had its perks. Our meeting finally came to an end and I tried not to sigh in relief. This tedious work was hard to focus on when I had a ring burning a hole in my pocket. I looked at my watch seeing it was time to head

*Delilah*I walked quickly down the path and kicked off my heels, holding them as I left the park and walked back toward Andrew’s house. My hands were shaking and I let out a pent-up breath as I walked, rolling my shoulders.Andrew was about to propose to me! The dinner was so romantic and the appetizer was to die for but I couldn’t stay. I just knew what was coming and I saw him reaching for his suit jacket I felt my heart leap into my throat. I hated the look on his face as I walked away but I couldn’t help it. I didn’t know if I was ready to be married. Yes, he was my mate and I felt drawn to him, extremely drawn to him. He had looked fantastic in his suit tonight and his scent was intoxicating. But was I really ready to take on a Luna role in this pack? Being with him was so much more than just being with him. It was committing to staying with the pack and making it my home. And beyond all that, I didn’t know if I even wanted that. Yes, we’d grown close and I did love

*Andrew*Delilah’s swift departure from our lovely dinner had left me confused but I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Delilah so if she needed space, I would give it to her.“Andrew,” Kendra said from the doorway of my office. I paused before I looked up at her. I wasn’t interested in dealing with her today. “I just spoke with Delilah,” Kendra said, not elaborating so I sighed and gestured for her to come into my office. She came in and sat down across the desk from me. She settled in like it was her home and the comfortability annoyed me and set me on edge. “What is it then?” I asked, wanting this conversation to be over soon. “We talked about what happened the other night,” Kendra said, continuing with her short and frustrating sentences. “Okay? I didn’t know you two were close,” I commented, looking back down at the paperwork in front of me. If she was going to take her sweet time then I had other things I could be doing. “Yep, super close now
Last Updated : 2024-09-11The Betrayed Luna Chapter 68 : Family time
*Delilah*With Flora and Kyle happily playing in the living room and Cody running around the house entertaining himself, I walked into the kitchen to fix myself a snack. I had to do so while they were distracted or else they would want something too. I didn’t mind making them a snack normally but it was so close to dinner, I couldn’t risk spoiling their appetites. Plus, I wanted a little treat for myself, something that they weren’t allowed to have. My feet pattered against the tile floor as I walked into the kitchen. I went to the cabinet to get a glass and my hidden stash of chocolates. When I closed the cabinet door, it groaned louder than I had expected. I paused to listen, just in case any of the kids had heard me. Thankfully, after a few seconds, no one came running so I knew I was in the clear. I grabbed an already-opened bottle of wine and filled the class a third of the way and took a sip before popping a delicious chocolate into my mouth. The flavors together were del
Last Updated : 2024-09-11The Betrayed Luna Chapter 69 : Nightmare
*Delilah*The nightmare wouldn’t let me wake up. I knew it wasn’t real and that I was asleep but I was stuck. I was stuck in this horrible sequence of events. I kept seeing the same thing happening. It was a warning, the most terrifying warning. Something horrible was coming and it was coming soon.I woke up with a start. My heart was beating out of control and I couldn’t find my breath. I jumped out of bed and started pacing the room. I spun on my heel and walked into the bathroom to splash water on my face. The water helped a little bit but I could still feel my heart beating out of my chest.I stood in the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked pale and I was shaking. I braced myself against the counter, my fingers gripping the edge of the sink. It felt cool against my skin but it made me shiver.The bathroom was dark and eerie so I decided to go back to the bedroom. Andrew was sound asleep and I wished I could join him in that slumber.I climbed back int
Last Updated : 2024-09-11The Betrayed Luna Chapter 70 : Infiltration
*Delilah*Everything had played out exactly like my nightmare. The other pack was sneaking in but now we knew. We could see them coming and after the first wolf was spotted, our pack had sprung into action. Thankfully, we were able to catch them mid-sneak attack. We weren’t as prepared as we would have wanted to be but once everyone knew what was about to happen, they were ready and they were not going to let another pack infiltrate ours and destroy everything Andrew and his family had worked so hard to build. They were not only fighting for everything Andrew’s family had built but for their family as well. The pack was starting to feel like one big family and I knew they would do anything to protect that family. I was still worried about our children though. They were at the forefront of my mind. I had spent so many years alone with them, protecting them all by myself, that I felt weird leaving them behind while I went to fight. It was so stressful but I knew I had to trust
Last Updated : 2024-09-11The Betrayed Luna Chapter 71 : Missing Children
*Delilah* The race to the children’s room feels like the longest distance I have ever had to cross. My heart was beating out of my chest as I shifted once again to get there faster. I bounded up to their room, taking on my human form once more as I arrived in the doorway. It was empty.I had to be sure it was empty. At first glance, there was no one there but the children were good at hiding. I began to frantically search the room.“Children!” I called out, my voice high and scratchy, showing off how worried I was.“Flora! Please respond,” I begged, needing to hear their beautiful little voices. “Kyle! Answer Mommy!” I tried again, calling for a different child. “Cody! Please, I won’t be mad. Stop playing games,” I tried to keep myself from sobbing as I called out, louder each time. “Please, someone answer,” I said with a quieter voice, looking around the room and searching the rest of the house for them. I called out each of their names, multiple times as I des

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
