The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna REUNITED
Lenora’s POV I couldn't believe my eyes. Standing before me was a woman I had thought I might never see again. Eight months had passed since that fateful day when I found her lying broken and battered on the side of the road, left to die by some unknown stranger. The memory of her frail body, barely holding to life, flashed vividly in my mind. I had rushed to her side, desperate to help and in that moment, I had felt a strange unshakable connection to her. Now, here she was, alive and radiant, her presence alone, commanding the room in a way I could never have imagined. “Ophelia?” I whispered, my voice trembling, barely audible over the pounding of my heart. “What are you doing here?” She tilted her head slightly, a soft smile curving her lips. Her eyes, warm and loving, met mine. “Lenora.” She said with that smooth voice of hers. “It's been a while, hasn't it?” I blinked, struggling to believe that the woman before me was the same fragile figure I had seen before. I

Zade's POV “What is she talking about?” My mother's voice cut through the air, her sharp eyes locking onto mine. I could see the confusion and suspicion in her gaze as she stared at me in close scrutiny. At that moment, I wished I could silence Talia forever and send her straight to the hell she deserved. She was really getting on my nerves. Talia walked forward, unaware of the tension in the air with a calm and self-assured attitude that was really annoying. “Yes, Ophelia,” she said, her voice dripping with a pretentious smile. “Zade and I are in a romantic relationship. In fact, we are almost done with our engagement ceremony. Zade can't be with any woman except me. That bitch…” she paused as she glanced quickly at Lenora, “Should leave. Her presence is not needed here, because, I, the rightful Luna is here to take my place as Zade's Luna” “Tell your mother about us, Zade.” She said as she reached for my hand, but I jerked away as if her touch burned. “Don't you dare
Last Updated : 2025-02-07The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna YOU ARE ENOUGH
Lenora's POV I stood there watching Zade and his mother exchange relieved glances, their bond evident in the way they communicated without words. It was a connection I admired, one I hoped to have with her someday. But I came to realize that despite the calmness that settled over the room, a nagging feeling gnawed at the back of my mind. Talia's words, her venomous tone and the way she had looked at me like I was nothing more than an obstacle in her path, one that she couldn't wait to destroy. It left me uneasy. Merely looking at her, I could tell that she wasn't the type to walk away quietly. And Zade's reassurances, though comforting in its own ways, didn't completely ease my fears. “Lenora.” Zade's voice tore me away from my thoughts, pulling me back to the present. He was standing in front of me now, his bright eyes meeting mine. “You are overthinking again, aren't you?” I forced a small smile, though it didn't reach my eyes. “I'm fine,” I lied, brushing off his concern, bu
Last Updated : 2025-02-08The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna MINE
Alpha Zade's POVI stirred awake the next morning, greeted by the golden rays of sunlight that poured into the room, streaming through the slightly opened windows. The light danced on the walls, illuminating every corner of my room and pulling me gently from the remnants of sleep. I tried to get off the bed and that was when I realized the weight on me. At first, I was confused, but then, I realized that it was my beautiful mate. A soft smile tugged at my lips as I gazed down at her sleeping form. Lenora looked delicate in the pale morning light, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Her dark lashes fanned against her cheeks and her lips, slightly parted, seemed to invite me to pause and admire her. She was an angel, pure and heavenly, yet here she was, lying in my bed. She was mine and nothing can ever change that. How could anyone let her go? How could that brute, Axel, cast her aside so callously, as if she were nothing more than trash, broken too?? The thought of

Zade's POV I had barely settled into the throne chair when the heavy mahogany door creaked open, breaking the silence of the Grand Hall and my Beta walked in. I was about to inquire about the task I had assigned him, to bring forth all the she-warriors, when the door swung open and they marched in, one after the other, their boots echoing against the hard ground. My jaw tightened as my gaze swept over their faces and I remembered the disrespect they had shown to my mate, their Luna. The memory of her hurt expression flashed before my eyes and a surge of anger coursed through me. My fingers twitched, itching to wrap around the hilt of the dagger at my side. The thought of punishing them for their insolence, of watching the life drain from their eyes, was almost too tempting to resist. "Easy, man. Don't let your anger get the best of you," Nathan's voice cut through the haze of my rage. His words, though soft, carried an authority that even I couldn't ignore. It was as if he
Last Updated : 2025-02-09The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna YOUR MATE KISSED ME.
Lenora's POV I woke to the sound of the door creaking open. My hands instinctively rubbed my eyes, brushing the fog of sleep. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the person who had just barged in. Standing in the doorway was a figure I hadn't expected to see. Ever! It was none other than Alpha Zade's brother. What's his name….. I trailed off as I tried to recall it, but it was out of reach. “Zariel,” Zoey whispered in my head and I nodded faintly, my heart pounding and racing with different questions. I thought Alpha Zade had told the guards never to allow him here. How had he gotten here without anyone noticing? The pack’s security was supposed to be impenetrable, yet here he was, standing as if he owned the place. “Look who we have here,” Zariel drawled, his voice dripping with amusement. He stepped further into the room after closing the door behind him. My instincts screamed at me to move, to defend myself in case he had any plans to attack me. Therefore, I shot up
Last Updated : 2025-02-11The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna YOU ARE A MONSTER
Lenora's POV “What the hell is going on here?” He repeated in a low but dangerous voice, each word dripping with barely contained rage. Before I could even open my mouth to defend myself, Zariel stepped forward, his smirk widening as if he had been waiting for this moment. “Oh, brother, you are just in time,” he drawled. “Your little mate here was showing me how affectionate she can be. Isn't that right, sweetheart?” He turned to me, his eyes glinting with amusement. My blood boiled. “That's a lie!” I snapped my voice trembling with anger. “Zade, he's lying. He forced himself on me! I didn't…..” Zariel cut me off with a laugh. “Don't be shy, Lenora. You were practically begging for it. Isn't that why you called me here? To entertain you while your mate was busy playing the good and perfect Alpha?” I felt my stomach churned, bile rising in my throat. How could he twist the situation like this? How could he make it seem like I had wanted any of this? My hands clenched into
Last Updated : 2025-02-11The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna SEND HER AWAY
Zade's POVWith a scowl on my face, I walked in, following my Beta as he pushed open the heavy oak doors of the courtroom. The elders seated on the high-backed chairs, looked up at me. Then in unison, they rose from their seats. “Greetings, Alpha. Greetings Beta,” They chorused in unison but I didn't bother to acknowledge their greetings. Instead, my scowl deepened as I strode towards the throne chair. I sank into the chair, my fingers drumming against the armrest as I surveyed the room and their faces. “What brings you here?” I asked, my voice low and filled with an irritation that I wasn't even trying to hide. My raised eyebrows dared them to waste my time. Pedro, the council leader, stood, his aged frame trembling slightly as he cleared his throat. “Greetings, Your Majesty…..” “Skip the formalities, Pedro.” I cut him off in a sharp tone. “Get to the point. Why are you all here?” I asked even though my Beta already told me their reasons for being here. He hesitated, his e

The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna HE'S DEAD
Zariel’s POV “How did it go?” I asked the men standing before me. I had asked them to disguise themselves as rogues, to hurt Zade. And of course, I asked them to hang around the pack, around the woods and be ever ready in case they sight Zade, so they'll attack him. I really hope they were able to succeed with it. Else, I'll kill them all. They wouldn't dare fail me. A smile broke out on the leader’s face. “It went well, Zariel. We attacked him.” My lips curled up into a smile. Good! This is what I want to hear. “You all deserve accolades for a job well done.” I winked at him and his smile broadened. “So when are we getting our payment?” I rolled my eyes. “Relax, man. I was about to come to that sooner!” “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound that way. But you know, people can't be trusted one bit. They'll always want to take advantage of….” My lips curled into a smile. “It's fine!” I should be mad at him for generalising me with other people, but I didn't. Not when he had just
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna I'LL MAKE SURE NO ONE FINDS OUT.
Melissa's POV “Your guesses are right, Alpha Elijah!” I winked at him again. “Tabitha!” He let out a low guttural growl. “That old hag! She's going to regret this!” He said through gritted teeth and I just let out a small laugh. “Exactly how you are going to regret it if you ever tell Alpha Axel about our little secret!” I said in a low whisper. I couldn't tell where the courage to stand up to him came from, but I was glad that it did. “You won't dare!” He hissed and I just smirked. “Won't dare, huh?” I chucked. “Come on, sweetheart, I'd dare to set your ego on fire just to watch it burn. But don't worry, I'll let you keep your delusions. They are the only thing holding your fragile little world together!” “Melissa!!!” My mother yelled at me through the mind link and I rolled my eyes mentally. “What?” I shot back. “He's an Alpha. Don't talk to him that way. It'll only piss him off the most and we'll both be in trouble” She said again and I shrugged. “And that's exactly w
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna HOW DID YOU KNOW THIS?
Melissa's POV “Answer me!!” He repeated when he didn't hear any words from my mother. The air grew thick with tension as Alpha Elijah stepped closer. My mother and I stood frozen, our face pale as if we had seen a ghost. Alpha Elijah was Axel's best ally and there is no tendency that he wouldn't tell Axel what he has just heard. Goodness! We are done for. “Don't make me repeat myself, Matilda!” He growled. My mother's lips trembled but no words seemed to come out. It was as if she had suddenly gone dumb and I couldn't blame her one bit. “Alpha Elijah,” my mother finally managed to answer, her voice shaking. “I…I can explain. It's not what you think. I didn't mean….” “Didn't mean what, Matilda?” His voice was low, but it carried a dangerous edge. “Didn't mean to confess to murdering Tricia? Didn't mean to lie to the entire pack about her death? Or didn’t mean to let Lenora suffer for years, knowing full well her mother was innocent?” My heart pounded in my chest as I watched
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER DEATH?
Melissa's POV “Mother?” I called out. Right now, we were currently sitting on a mat in the park and I was resting my head on her lap. It was hard, especially as my baby wouldn't let me stay peacefully, as he kept kicking me repeatedly, but I was determined to try. “Mhhmm?” She answered. “Is something bothering you, my child?” “Do you think I went too far?” I asked her as I watched her face intently. “And what are you talking about?” Her brows were knitted in confusion. I took a deep breath and exhaled. “It's about Lenora. Do you think I went too far ....” “Oh, Melissa.” She cut me off. “Not again please. Let's not talk about that bitch here. We came out here to cool our beautiful heads and not worry about some barren bitch. Don't talk about her, please.” I let out a deep breath. “No mother. I really want us to talk about this. You've been avoiding this conversation for a long time and you never let me talk about it.” She hissed. “And that's because there is nothing to talk a
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR
Lenora's POV Us? What the hell was she talking about? Apart from Talia, Zade had never mentioned another woman in his life. The question lingered in the air. My stomach twisted into knots, but I kept my face impassive, refusing to let her see the growing tension on my face. “No,” I replied, my voice steady despite the turmoil brewing within me. “He hasn’t.” Taylor's smirk widened like a predator toying with its prey. Her eyes glinted with a cruel satisfaction that made my skin crawl. She was enjoying this, whatever game she was playing. But I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction of seeing me break. Not now. Not ever. “Well, Zade and I are together,” she said, her tone dripping with a faux sweetness. She let the words hang, savoring the moment as if they were a weapon meant to break me. My jaw tightened but I refused to flinch. “What do you mean?” I asked, my voice low and measured, though my heart pounded in my chest. She rolled her eyes, her smirk never faltering for once. “
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna AXEL'S REJECTED MATE
Lenora's POV Taking a deep and shuddering breath, I forced myself to meet Luna Ophelia's gaze. Her eyes, usually so full of warmth, now held a strange intensity that made my stomach churn. “I’m sorry, Luna,” I began, my voice trembling slightly. “We were attacked by rogues, and it’s my fault….” “Lenora!” she cut me off, her voice softer than I expected. It sounded almost tender. “How can you say it’s your fault?” Her words caught me off guard, and I stared at her, bewildered. Just moments ago, her expression had been furious, her anger evident. But now she looked at me with a gentleness that made my chest tighten. “My Luna…” I stammered, unsure of how to respond. The shift in her demeanor was a bit confusing. Her anger had melted away, and now it was replaced by a calm, almost maternal concern. “You are not responsible for what happened to my son,” she said firmly, her voice steady. “You didn’t ask the rogues to attack him. Or did you?” She raised her eyebrows slightly, her
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SON?
Lenora's POV The guards moved swiftly, and lifted Zade with care as they carried him back to the pack house. I trailed behind them, my steps heavy, my mind consumed by fear and guilt - the fear of losing him, and the guilt for being the reason he was in this state. I shouldn't have suggested that we walk in the woods. I should have agreed when he proposed that we go home. If I had agreed, none of this would have happened. He wouldn't be here fighting for his life. He wouldn't be on the verge of “Get the doctor!” Karl's sharp and commanding voice cut through the chaos. I couldn’t tell which maid he was addressing not when my vision was blurred by tears. I just followed them like a lost puppy into Zade’s room, where they laid him gently on the bed. “Is he going to be okay?” I asked Karl, my voice laced with concern, though my eyes never left Zade. His face was pale, his eyes shut tight, his body burning with fever. What else could those rogues have done to him in my absence
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME
Lenora's POV “Axel threatened me that he was going to cut the mate bond if I didn't get King Zach to forgive him. You know, when a lady is in love, she'd do anything to please her man, she'd do anything to keep him and that's what I did. I was stupidly in love with Axel and didn't want to lose him.” I paused to take a deep breath. I noticed the way Zade was watching me intently. He must be eager to know if I did it or not. “Therefore I went to meet King Zach in the hotel that Axel had chosen. When I got there, he didn't only want me to pleasure him with my mouth. He wanted me to have sex with him. At first, I wanted to do it, but at the end of the day, I realised that I couldn't let Axel define my worth. That day, I was ready to lose Axel. I didn't care anymore if he wanted to break the mate bond or not.” I paused again. He was still staring at me. It was as if with each passing minute, his anger deepened. This was the kind of reaction I expected from Axel when I told him tha
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna YOU DID IT?
Lenora's POV Even though I was sad that Zade wasn't taking me with him to the upcoming annual ball, I was glad that he cared about my safety and didn't want to take me with him, so he wouldn't lose me. Of course I was no stranger to the ugly events that take place in the annual ball. I was suddenly reminded of when Alpha Ryan, one of Axel's allies, lost his mate right before his eyes and he couldn't do anything to save her. He didn't try to save her. He just sat there and watched her get killed by King Zach the lunatic and now it got me wondering if he ever loved her or she was just a means to an end for him. I mean how would he sit back and watch his mate killed right before his eyes just because she refused to pleasure King Zach? If it were Axel, he wouldn't mind taking me there with him. After Ryan's mate lost her life right before my eyes, I had pleaded with Axel to get me out of the room, especially as I'd seen the way King Zach, the host of the annual ball was staring
