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

*Delilah*The bell rang, causing students to lurch to their feet to get into the hall. I took my time; I didn’t want to be around most of them anyway. I had no best friend to talk to or boyfriend to speak of. I did my best just to keep my head down and remain unnoticed.I finally gathered all my things and stood up from my desk to walk out behind the last person. The hallway was full of people talking, laughing, and enjoying the break between classes. I only had to make it through one more class before I could go home and enjoy my solitude. I walked to a bench and rummaged through my backpack, switching books for my next class. I looked up saw a group of guys standing together, with Andrew at the center. His life was exactly what I wanted. He was normal. He had friends, his parents loved him, he was handsome, and he had never dealt with bullying a day in his life. People loved him.It was hard for me to admit but I wanted that more than anything. I wanted parents that didn’t t

*Delilah*“I saw you roll your eyes. I won’t tolerate it,” Dad said, looking at me sternly.I looked him in the eyes, calmly. “She’s lying. If you want to believe her, fine. But I won’t fake being happy about it.”I saw Kendra smile at this. Dad’s face grew ten shades redder, and if shifters could produce fire, he would’ve been breathing it at that point.“Delilah, you will respect Kendra. Just because you’re older, that doesn’t give you the right to bully her or to lie about her.”I chose to remain silent. I wanted to eat, and if I kept going, he’d send me to my room without food. I was too hungry to fight at this point.I started putting food on my plate from the various dishes on the table. I put my fork into my piece of meatloaf when he said, “Do you understand me?”I looked at him before putting the food in my mouth. I nodded rather than speaking because I couldn’t trust myself to hold my tongue.That settled, the three of them went back to the normal routine of
Last Updated : 2024-09-11The Betrayed Luna Chapter 3 : Happy Birthday to Me
*Delilah*The next day at school was uneventful, for once. I was grateful but nervous. I didn’t see Kendra at all. I also slept without dreaming for the first time in about a week. Maybe it was a birthday gift.I groaned and rolled over in my bed, not wanting to get up yet. It was my birthday. I was finally going to come into my full powers as a shifter.I stopped and lay still, trying to see if I felt any different, but I couldn’t tell if something had changed.A soft knock on my door broke me from my thoughts. “Come in,” I called out, hoping it wasn’t Kendra.My dad opened the door and poked his head through. “You decent?”I laughed. “Yes, Dad. That’s why I said come in.”He smiled at me and said, “I’m glad to see you’re already up. Happy birthday, Del. When you’re ready, we have some things to give you in the kitchen.”“Okay, I’ll be right out.”He nodded and left, shutting my door behind him. I lay back on my bed, not ready to face them all, even if they wer

*Delilah*My father stole me when I was just a day old. He knew he’d be labeled a rogue, but his mind was broken by grief at the time. He felt responsible for my mother’s death and felt that the pack would hate me for taking her from them. So he ran and took me with him.My first memory from when I was about two was of him teaching me how to pack my own bag to carry. He made me a small pack out of one of his that had holes in places. He sewed it and taught me what we needed most. First, I’d need a fire starter of some kind. We always needed to be able to make a fire; it was his most essential tool. The next thing was a small tarp. He taught me how to roll it so it would fit in there well. Then, I’d need an extra change of clothes, with two extra pairs of socks. Everything we owned could fit in our two packs. For the first few years of my life, we camped and lived like nomads. We roamed through many different wooded areas, careful to stay away from other pack territories, a
Last Updated : 2024-09-11The Betrayed Luna Chapter 5 : Are You My Mate?
*Delilah*I woke up feeling like I’d barely slept at all the night before. Even after I’d managed to fall asleep, I didn’t sleep well. I tossed and turned and woke covered in sweat like every other day. I went through the normal routine of getting ready for the day and walked into the kitchen to grab something to eat on my way out the door. Dad was sitting at the table, finishing up his coffee before he left for the day. I didn’t say anything to him, grabbing a banana and a granola bar and heading for the door.“Have a good day,” he called after me.I shut the door behind me as a reply. I never had good days it seemed, but he was oblivious to that.I walked down the familiar path, eating as I went. I didn’t want to be back at the school, but hopefully, Kendra would leave me alone today since it wasn’t my birthday anymore. I walked out of the woods and up the path to the school. Tossing my banana peel in the trash with the granola wrapper, I pulled the door open. The po

*Delilah*After the long week, I was glad that it was finally the weekend. I’d done homework all day Saturday. On Sunday morning, my nightmares hadn’t kept me up too much the night before, and I was able to sleep in until after noon. I lay in my bed scrolling on my phone for a few hours before I decided to get up and shower. Being clean always made me feel better. I walked to the kitchen to make some lunch, and my dad was sitting at the table, eating a sandwich.“Hey,” he said through a mouthful of food.I chuckled. “Hey, Dad.”Kendra was gone with her friends. She had banged on my door earlier to let me know when she was leaving, laughing as she always did. I couldn’t wait to be out of that house and away from her.I made a sandwich and sat with him to eat it.“So, Kendra said she learned about mates yesterday. Did you?”I chewed my food slowly and swallowed, waiting until I knew I’d have control over my voice before answering.“Yeah, we did.” I took another bite so

*Delilah*Andrew.I couldn’t believe my mate was not only in my pack–but it was him. He was from a prominent family in the pack. His dad was Alpha and he was next in line, a strong shifter, and though he hadn’t looked out for me, he had never done anything to hurt me either.He carried me further into the forest to a small clearing made perfect by a bed of moss. He knelt down with me still around his waist and kissed me softly as he lowered me to the ground with care.His strong hands braced my back as it made contact with the ground, running them down my hands until he gripped my ass hard with both hands. I released my legs from his waist, and he helped me lower them as well.He broke the kiss softly and leaned back, taking his shirt off.I’d never been so close to a man this way in my life. I stared at him openly, taking in the sight with my mouth slightly hanging open.The right corner of his lip rose in a grin. “Do you like what you see?”I sat up and reached my

*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
