The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance Chapter 1 Chapter One
ELIZA’S POVAfter the final financial meeting of the day, I collapsed into the plush chair behind my desk, exhaustion weighing on my bones. As the Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack, my responsibilities stretched far beyond internal management—I had to ensure the pack’s economic stability, too.It wasn’t easy. No mentor. No guidance. And as a woman, every decision I made was scrutinized.But I had to be strong—because my husband, Derek, Alpha of the second-largest werewolf kingdom, was fighting on the front lines for our people.As his Luna and his strongest supporter, I had to keep the pack safe and stable in his absence.And so far, I’d done well.Then, a searing pain erupted at my mating mark.Since my father and brothers had fallen in battle, the scar had ached under stress—but this was different. This felt like claws raking through my flesh.I winced, pressing a hand to the burning skin—"Luna!"An Omega servant burst in, eyes bright with excitement. "Alpha Derek has returned!"Derek

ELIZA’S POVDerek's fury gathered like a storm, his hand twitching toward my throat—but Maya stopped him."Wait." She pushed past his arm, striding toward me with the smirk of a victor."Luna Eliza," she drawled my title like a taunt, "we both know you're just an Omega now. Your pack is gone. I'd wager the rogue wolves would tear you apart the moment you step outside these borders—""Maya, you're being too lenient," Derek cut in sharply, his gaze turning glacial as it locked onto me. "You should be grateful for this mercy instead of using stubbornness to seek my attention. Face reality."A dark chuckle rumbled from my wolf. My eyes widened slightly—Derek had been gone so long, he'd forgotten.Forgotten my family name.Forgotten who my father and brother had been.He'd forgotten that before I came, his people starved. That under my leadership, the Crescent Moon Pack had risen to become the second strongest in the kingdom. He hadn't even noticed the renovations to the Alpha's estate.My

ELIZA’S POVI frowned as I walked out the room and headed straight for my mother-in-law, Diana’s bedroom.I was pissed that this was happening to me.Not only did Derek want to dissolve our marriage for that bitch but he also planned on making me his mistress. The hell?I could feel my wolf coming out and baring her fangs, wanting nothing more than to tear those ingrates limb from limb.Derek for his betrayal and Maya for her sheer arrogance but I calmed her down. There was no point in attacking them and getting executed for my arrogance right now.I bit my lip, almost drawing blood as I approached Luna Diana’s room, my mind swirling with thoughts.I stopped at the door and knocked like I always did. Once I was given the go ahead to enter, I opened the door and stepped into the room.It was always the same.White pristine walls peppered with golden designs to give an ethereal look but these days the steady beeping of the ECG machine and the sight of a sickly and pale Diana hooked up t

ELIZA’S POVThe next morning had come by much quicker than I had expected, more so because I couldn’t sleep the night before.The act of betrayal and the blatant disrespect I got from not just Derek and his whore but also Diana was too much to bare that it ran through my mind constantly, depriving me of any rest.I huffed and stuffed the last clothes I had into my suitcase and zipped it up, ready to leave the building that Derek and I were meant to call home.I pulled up the handles and rolled the suitcase out of the room, on my way to the lobby below.Just as I got there, my heart set on leaving this place for good, the grating voice of a familiar face called out to me.“Finally, you’re leaving this mansion. It’s good that you know where you aren’t wanted.” Maya spat at me with a smirk on her face, causing me to come to a stop and frown.I wasn’t in the mood for her snarky remarks.I was leaving the pack and never looking back, I didn’t need to reply to her comments. She was nothing

ALEXANDER’S POVI tapped my right foot incessantly as I listened to my subordinates drone off about matters I already knew.I turned my gaze to nothing in particular, wanting to have some time myself but this had to be settled first. After all, military affairs on the battlefield came before my own life.The military camp had been my home for longer than I cared to remember.What began as a carefully orchestrated plan by my father, King Kyle, the Lycan King, to forge me into a capable leader had transformed into my entire existence.Under an alias, I had risen through the ranks, becoming the commander of an army that respected me not for my royal lineage, but for my combat skills and strategic mind.“Sir, the border is almost completely under our control. We’ve managed to push the forces back and regain our lost terrain. All that remains now is to push forward and claim theirs.” One of the men, Bolton, said to me, his eyes bright.“So what are we waiting for?” I asked them, already se

AUTHOR’S POVEliza got down from her car and walked up to the massive building in front of her.White marble walls with black trimmings and huge columns stared back at her, highlighting the power and opulence that this one building held.Its importance and stance was empowering and yet unnerving at the same time.This was the castle of the Lycan King. The centre of power of the Lycan Kingdom.She took a deep breath and calmed herself.Even though she wanted to go in there with guns blazing for the decision the king made concerning Derek and Maya, she had to keep herself in check.He was her king after all and she was not willing to die because of a reckless mistake.With a calm demeanor, Eliza walked up the stairs, wanting to go in to have an audience with the king but as soon as she reached the doors, she was stopped by the two guards who stood watch.“What is your purpose here?” One of the guards asked, his eyes narrowing at Eliza.“I am the Luna of the Silver Moon Pack and I reques

DEREK’s POVI had always pursued Eliza for two fundamental reasons: her substantial wealth and her undeniable beauty.Not that her beauty meant much to me. It was nothing more than a superficial attribute.She was merely a trophy, a means to an end. A means that I had no choice but to use.The truth was, I despised everything about her role as a housewife.What contribution did such women make to the Lycan Kingdom? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.Luna’s like her were decorative at best and a burden at worst.Eliza was the epitome of everything I found frustrating about traditional pack dynamics—women who existed in the shadows of their husbands, contributing nothing to the pack's strength or survival but yet reaping the rewards of where they did not sow.The only thing they were held on a pedestal for was siring heirs to the throne or just as the children of the Alpha of the pack.That mentality had made Eliza unbearable.We didn’t spend a day together since we got married but I couldn’t

ELIZA’S POVI hadn't expected to run into Derek and Maya at all.The mall had always been somewhat my sanctuary—a place where I could analyze business operations, browse quietly, and momentarily escape.It was a place of peace especially since I knew that Derek wouldn’t ever set foot in the place.However, it turned out today I was wrong.When they appeared, I chose to ignore them first.My mother had always taught me that dignity was a weapon more powerful than any harsh words.But Maya, it seemed, didn’t learn such a lesson while growing up because her shrill voice called out to me."Look who's here," she sneered, her voice dripping with malice. “I didn’t think that you had enough money to shop in a place like this Eliza especially with the divorce so close at hand.” Maya jeered, thinking that she had landed a hit to my ego.I still ignored her, dropping the purse in my hand and reaching for another item to check the quality. It seemed like my lack of attention angered Derek because

The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance Chapter 22 Chapter Twenty Two
ELIZA’S POVMy first curled around the head of my knife ready to be unsheathed as I ran to the middle of the battlefield.My heart, pounding like the war drum sounding some miles away.An arrow, almost immediately, flew over my head piercing into the throat of the man standing before me and I watched as he fell to ground knees first as blood gushed out from his throat.'Run Eliza. Run!' I turned my head to the direction of the voice but the primal and brutal snarls surrounding me prevented me from seeing who it was.'Eliza! By the goddess run!' It was Mom's voice.This time, I didn't need any confirmation to know it was her.But what was Mom doing at the battlefield?I quickly turned to the direction of her voice and saw her standing in the middle of fallen warriors, her dress soaked in blood; blood so thick I could taste the coppery thang in my throat.'Mom, run!' I yelled but my shouts barely escaped my throat. Two men from her left and right were approaching her fast and she was un
The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty One
ELIZA’S POVI wandered aimlessly through the pack grounds, trying to calm my racing heart after that encounter with Alexander.His scent still lingered in my nostrils, making it impossible to think clearly. I shook my head, trying to clear my mind and focus on what is actually important to me. Saving my pack."You're acting like a teenage pup with her first crush," my wolf teased, her tone light and playful. "We're a strong, independent Alpha female. We should be enjoying our freedom, not running away from an attractive male.""I'm not running," I muttered, though my hasty retreat said otherwise."Oh? So what do you call that graceful sprint just now?" She laughed. "Face it, his Alpha aura affects us. Affects you. There's nothing wrong with that.""It doesn't affect me. I just need to stay away from him for some time." I retorted, not liking what she was hinting at."We're single Eliza. We have no mate. Isn't it unfair that Derek has a new plaything and we are left to wander through t
The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty
ELIZA’S POVMy heart constricted as I stood before what remains of my childhood home.The pack house, once proud and magnificent, now stood in haunting ruins.Crumbling walls told stories of neglect, while weeds thrust through cracks in the courtyard stones like nature's slow-moving revenge.The sight brought tears to my eyes, but I forced them back. I couldn’t show weakness, not now. I walk through the ruins until the pack members and I reach a suitable place in the middle of it all, my back turning to the home I left behind to address my new pack.The gathered wolves watched me with expectant eyes as I began to speak. My voice trembled at first, but grew stronger as I recounted the tale that had haunted my dreams for years."It happened on a night like any other," I told them, the memories fresh as yesterday's wounds. "My father was holding council with the pack elders. My brother was training the younger wolves. None of us saw the Western Plains attack coming."A young wolf, barely

ELIZA’S POVI caught Lily's eye across the room as the settlement papers were signed. A subtle nod passed between us – it was time.My heart pounded as I stood, knowing what came next would change everything."I request all pack members to gather immediately," I announced, my voice carrying the authority I'd earned.I watched as Derek's face contorted in confusion, clearly not expecting this turn of events."You don't have the right to request such a thing. You are no longer the Luna of the pack and therefore the pack no longer answers to you.""I never addressed the pack when our marriage was annulled. It was my right and since I never did that, I request to do it now." I shot back, but Derek scoffed."You lost that right when you...""You mean when you had an affair and brought back another woman to the pack?" Alexander butted in. I was thankful for the backup but he needed to let me fight my own battles.Due to these words, Derek's lips went into a straight line, the poke at his ow
The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen
DEREK’S POVI paced in my quarters, my hands shaking with barely contained rage.This wasn't how today was supposed to go.When I had walked into that settlement meeting, I had expected Eliza to grovel at my feet for mercy, to show some kind of desperation.Instead, that bastard Alexander had swept in like an avenging angel and turned everything on its head.I was the one who left empty-handed and with shame hanging over my head.Three million dollars.The number echoed in my mind like a death knell. I sucked at my teeth, wondering how this had happened.I was an Alpha of the pack for God's sake.A celebrated general, personally praised by the king for my efforts in the war, and yet I found myself in debt to the woman I had cast aside.It wasn't fair.If Alexander hadn't shown up when he did, then I might have been able to convince the auditor.The memory of Alexander's arrival made my blood boil.The way he had strode into that room, emanating power and authority, had immediately shi

ELIZA’S POV"What is going on here?!" The commanding voice filled up the room, making us freeze in our tracks but still turn to see who stood there.It was Alexander.He stood in the doorway, his broad shoulders filling the frame.His grey eyes, sharp as steel, took in the scene before him – Derek's aggressive stance, my defensive position, Lily's reddened wrist, and the scattered documents between us.His gaze held authority, the kind that made even the most dominant wolves yield.A gaze that made even me stop in my tracks."I asked a question," Alexander's voice dropped lower, more dangerous as he looked between us."Would someone care to explain why a simple property settlement meeting has devolved into this?"The air had thickened with authority the moment Alexander entered the room.My wolf stirred, releasing a pleased rumble deep in my chest at his arrival.I hadn't expected him here at Crescent Moon Pack, but I couldn't deny the sudden feeling of security his presence brought.
The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen
ALEXANDER’S POVHOURS EARLIERI stood at the top of the stairs watching Eliza’s retreating figure as well as Derek and his new woman as they walked away, leaving the castle.As soon as Eliza got into a car and drove away, I turned around, entering the building once more with my thoughts running through some things.As I walked through the hallways back to the throne room, I reflected on recent events.Pride swelled in my chest when I thought of Eliza's growth.She had evolved into everything I'd hoped for in a mate - her strength and determination apparent in every calculated move she'd made against Derek's corruption.The punishment from the King for Derek was disappointingly mild in my opinion compared to what he had done to Eliza but it was something.Letting Eliza move forward with her plans to rebuild her pack and also sharing the assets that they shared as he saw fit was a good blow to Derek’s ego.Yet I couldn't deny that his hubris had presented an unexpected gift - a chance t

ELIZA’S POVI felt a familiar presence brush against my mind as I initiated a mind link with Lily.If the financial auditor wanted to see the evidence that I had then he would get it all.The connection from the link with my former assistant hummed with urgency as I sent my silent command."Luna Eliza. What do you need me to do?" Lily asked me as soon as she felt the link, not wasting time to question why I was even contacting her in the first place."I need all the financial documents that record how much of my money and investments that I have put into the pack," I told her."You mean the secured documents?" She tried to confirm. I feigned a nod and replied."Yes. Those documents.""I'll have them up shortly," Lily informed me before I ended the link and paid attention to the scene in front of me.I didn't bother to tell Lily where I was because within minutes, she appeared at the door, clutching a thick folder of financial records to her chest.The link worked in a way that whoever

ELIZA’S POVMy heels clicked across the tiled floor as I entered the damned building once more.My last home in the Crescent Moon Pack.Yes, I had come back to fulfill some rites and although it was needed, I couldn’t fully say that I wanted to be here.I walked through the lobby, getting some looks and or greeting from some of the staff that passed.I was about to make my way to the guest room when one of the staff walked up to me, her head bowed in respect.“Luna, uh, I mean…” She stuttered, not really sure what to call me again when the news of my annulment from the Alpha had spread far and wide in the pack.“Eliza will do.” I informed her, not wanting to put her in such a difficult situation. She seemed to calm down with my words and looked up at me.“Alpha Derek’s mother, Mrs. Diana, wishes to see you in her chambers.” She told me.“Now?” I asked her, frustrated that I was being summoned when I just got here.The woman gave me a nod that made me frown.“Very well then.
