Zariel's POV

“Talia?” I called out, my voice cutting through the quiet air of the cafĂ©. She spun around, her sharp eyes locking onto mine, brows lifting in a mix of irritation and curiosity.

“You are ten minutes late!” She hissed, her gaze darting to the delicate wristwatch on her wrist.

“Well, well, well,” I clapped slowly, a smirk tugging at the corners of my lips as I slid into the seat across from her. “Seems like someone couldn't wait to see me,” My tone was light, teasing, but her eyes narrowed. She didn't look amused at all.

“Why did you call me here, Zariel?” She demanded. I leaned back, feigning nonchalance even though her patience was evident.

“This isn’t a good way to talk to your brother-in-law,” I teased again, my smirk widening. She scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Cut the crap, Zariel. I don’t have all day. What do you want?”

I leaned forward, my elbows resting on the table, my gaze locking onto hers. “I want to help you,” I said, my voice dropping

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   TRAGEDY

    Zade's POV “How did it go?” My mother asked as soon as she saw me walk through the door. I couldn't even answer. I just walked straight to the couch and plop down. Her soft chuckle broke the silence. “Judging from the look on your face, I can tell that it didn't go well,” She said teasingly and I exhaled sharply. Fuck! Those old hags! They'll be the death of me. I should have just killed them, instead of letting them leave the courtroom alive.“They want me to send Lenora away,” I said, my voice low and strained. “All because she was once Axel’s mate. They are claiming that she could be a spy, working for Axel” My mother's eyes narrowed and her lips tightened into a thin smile. “And what makes them think they have the right to tell you what to do, huh?” Her voice rose slightly. She crossed her arms over her chest, her protective instincts flaring. “Since when do they dictate who stays and who leaves in your pack?”“It's Zariel,” I muttered, my jaw clenching. “He's behind th

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   TRAGEDY (2)

    Melissa's POV “Mom?” I called out as I stepped into my mother's room, but I was only met with silence. The room was strangely quiet, the bed neatly made and that would only mean that she didn't sleep here last night, because if she did, the bed wouldn't still be made up by this time. My heart sank! Where was she? I've searched every corner of the house, but she was nowhere to be found, not even in the garden, her favorite spot in the pack house. For the umpteenth time, I pulled out my phone and dialed her number again, but I was greeted with the same automated messages: ‘The number you are trying to reach is unavailable.” I've been trying to reach her through the mind link too, but it's not going through. My chest tightened. Something was wrong somewhere. I could feel it in my bones. None of the maids have agreed to seeing her. Not even Laura. Just where the hell could she be? Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of her room and into the hallway, my mind still racing wi

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   ACCUSATIONS

    Zariel's POV “What have you done, Zariel?” Talia asked through gritted teeth as soon as I picked her call and I creased my brows in confusion, wondering what she meant. “Hey, Talia? What do you mean by that?” “Zade's company is on fire. I just saw the news a while ago. Was it you? Did you set his company on fire because of your stupid anger and hatred towards him? Tell me you didn't do something this reckless, this insane” A frown crept its way to my face. “What do you mean by that? What are you talking about” “Cut the pretense and answer the fucking question. Did you set his company on fire?” She snapped. “And why would I do that? Why would I do such a thing?” I asked, confusion clearly written all over my face. Where was all these baseless accusations coming from? “You are the only one who would have the nerves to do such a thing. You are the only stupid enemy that he has. You wanted him dead after all. Setting his company on fire wouldn't be a big deal for you” She hissed

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   IT'S ZARIEL

    Zade's POV “I don't have time to figure that out right now, Mother. I need to get to the company right away. Stay here. Keep an eye on the pack till I get back. Keep Lenora safe.” She nodded, her eyes filled with worry. “Go son. I'll handle things here. Stay safe for me, please” I didn't wait for another word. I bolted out of the door, my heart racing in my chest like a stampede. Different thoughts ran through my mind as I walked towards the garage. How many workers were in the building? How bad is the damage? Who's responsible for this damage? I had two guesses; Zariel and those conniving elders. I couldn't help but feel that the person responsible for the fire outbreak was Zariel, my brother, who was also my rival and my enemy. He'd stop at nothing to claim the throne, to destroy me. And if I find out that this is his doing, I'd make him regret ever crossing me. I've always known that Zariel would do anything to get the throne. He would do anything to get to me. I'm gon

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   Did I interrupt something?

    Zade’s POV I pulled out my phone, my fingers hovering over the screen as I prepared to dial my Beta's number. But before I could, the device buzzed in my hand and his name flashed across the screen. “Alpha.” He called out. “I'm currently at the company, but I can't find you.” “Meet me at the east wing.” I commanded and without waiting for a response, I ended the call. In a few minutes, he appeared before me. His eyes locked on the ruins, his jaw tightening as his fists clenched into a ball. “Who the fuck is responsible for this?” He growled in a low voice. “Zariel,” I replied curtly and he gritted his teeth in anger, his nostrils flaring. “That punk!” Karl snarled, his voice rising in anger. “How could he be so reckless? He knew there were people inside!” His fists clenched at his sides. He did nothing to hide his urge to strike out. “I'll kill him. I'll fucking kill him myself.” “That's the plan, Karl” I chirped in. “I've let him live too long. This time, there's no mercy.

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   I HATE YOU, ZADE.

    Lenora’s POV “Please, Lenora, you have to listen to me
.” Zade pleaded, his hand reaching out as he took two steps towards me. His eyes were pleading but I wasn't having it. I took two steps backward, my heart pounding hard in my chest. “Don't” I snapped, my voice filled with a mix of anger and hurt. Don't come any closer, Zade. Go back to your lover. I won't bother you anymore.” I said through gritted teeth as I continued moving backwards. I couldn't believe what I just saw. There he was, standing in the middle of a chaos like this, his arms wrapped around her
. Talia. His ex. The one he swore meant nothing to him anymore. And here I was, at home, pacing around the house like a worried wife, worrying myself sick over my mate and how he was taking the news of the fire outbreak. When his mother told me about the fire outbreak, I didn't even think twice before telling her that I wanted to come meet him, to comfort him like the good wife I was. She had even asked me to stay b

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   SAVE HER

    Zade's POV“What the hell have you done?” I snarled. My fists clenched at my sides as I stormed toward the man who had rushed out of the car. His face had gone pale, his hands trembling as he raised them in an attempt to pacify me. "I'm sorry." He pleaded but I scoffed. If only he knows that nothing would calm the raging storm within me. He had hit her. My mate. My woman. “I swear to the moon god, it wasn't my fault. I didn't see her coming.” He stammered, but I didn't let him finish. I shot him a glare that was enough to silent him and he snapped his mouth shut, shrinking back as if he could hide from me. “Pray to whatever god you believe in that she's okay,” I hissed in anger. “Because if she's not, I swear, I'll rip you apart with my bare hands.” He exhaled slowly, his breath shaky. It was filled with fear, but I didn't care one bit. My focus was on her, the one fragile figure lying almost motionless on the ground, her chest rising and falling in uneven breaths. My eyes

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME?

    Lenora's POV My eyes fluttered open and I found myself lying on a bed. The walls of the room were white and the room was filled with the scent of antiseptic and at once I knew that I was in a hospital. Wait a minute! How did I end up here? The only thing I remembered was going to Zade's company to meet him, immediately Luna Ophelia told me about the tragedy. Then I remembered coming to the company to see him hugging his ex-girlfriend, the one person he had sworn that he had nothing to do with. Anger washed over me immediately that image flashed in my head and even though I didn't want to be angry, I couldn't. How could he do such a thing? Hugging his ex girlfriend while I was at home worrying my ass about him. “Relax, Lenora. You just got out of treatment. You should rest.” Zoey chided me softly and I creased my brows in confusion. “What treatment, Zoey? How did I end up here?” I asked her, because I knew that she was the only one who would give me the answers that I needed.

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   GET LOST

    Talia's POV “My fiance? What are you talking about, mother?” I really didn't want to believe what she said. I really hoped it was some prank. How could she even say that? “Oh, Natalia,” she crooned, as if speaking to a child. “Must I spell it out for you? You are getting married. And you should be on your knees thanking me for it.” “You must be joking, mother. I never agreed to any marriage. And besides, I didn't have any man in my life apart from Zade,” Her breath hitched, just for a second, before her voice turned to ice. “Natalia, haven't I warned you to stay away from Ophelia and that son of hers, huh? Haven't I warned you to stay away from them? But you never listen, do you?” “Because you don’t own me,” I snapped. “I decide who I love.” A sharp inhale, then her voice dropped to a low whisper. “Zade is your brother, don't you get it?” All I could do was roll my eyes. The same old lie and I knew she was only telling me that so I could stay away from Zade but that'

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   YOUR FIANCE

    Talia's POV The steering wheel groaned under my grip, my knuckles white with fury. That bitch actually hit me with those filthy hands of hers. And Ophelia
. Ophelia fucking had the nerves to take her side. The humiliation I felt earlier burned hotter than the slap itself. Those snickering maids, their whispers cutting through my mind like a sharp poison. I swear to the moon god, I'll make them regret it. I'll make them feel every humiliation I felt. “Arghhh!” My scream tore through the car as I slammed my fists against the wheel. The sharp pain barely registered over the storm raging deep inside me. "Don't think too much about it, Talia. Just take—" My wolf started, but I cut her off. "Shut. Up." My voice was like a blade, slicing her off mid sentence. "This is your fault." If she hadn’t pushed me into taking that damn photo, I wouldn't have gone to Zade's house and none of this would’ve happened. "Give me a break, Talia. We both know that I was only trying to help you.

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   LITTLE TEMPTRESS

    Lenora's POV All I wanted at that moment was for the ground to open up and swallow me. I can't believe that he's been standing there and listening to our conversation. I really had no idea that he was there. Heck! I didn't even hear him walk in. And I'm sure as hell that Luna Ophelia didn't hear him walk in either. “It's not a good thing to eavesdrop, Zade.” Luna Ophelia scolded, though her face beamed with smiles. “I'm sorry, mother, but I couldn't help it, but I was glad that I did.” He winked at her, before taking his attention back to me. “So tell me, my Luna, do you love me?” I tried to duck my head behind my hair like I always do whenever I was blushing, and as if sensing my next action, his hands came under my chin to stop me. “Do you love me?” He sneered. He wouldn't give up easily, therefore I decided to answer him. “Yes, Zade.” I whispered quietly. This wasn't the first time that I was confessing my love for him, but it felt different because Luna Ophelia was right

    Lenora's POV “Shut up, Talia.” Luna Ophelia hissed through gritted teeth before taking her attention back to me. She took a step closer. “Tell me the truth, Lenora, did you kiss him?” I cleared my throat before starting. “First of all, Luna, it's not what it seems. I can explain if you want me to
.” “There is nothing to explain, bitch. You kissed him. I saw everything. I even brought a proof, because I know that you were going to lie about it. You are a two-faced whore. You
.” Before she could finish her statement, my palms collided with her face. She looked stunned. “Did you just slap me, bitch?” She hissed through gritted teeth as she roughly caressed her face, her eyes almost glistening with tears, but it was gone the moment she blinked her eyes. “Of course, Talia and I will do it again and again if you don't stop talking. Now get out of here.” I snapped. “You can't send me away. This is Zade's house and I am his first love.” She snapped and all I could do was roll my eyes

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   CUT THE PRETENSE

    Lenora's POV The world narrowed to the heat of his mouth, the roughness of his grip, the shock that froze me in place. It wasn’t just an ordinary kiss
.it was a claim. A brutal and unapologetic one. “What are you doing, Lenora? Come to your fucking senses!” Zoey's screams pulled me out of my head and almost immediately, I tore my lips away from his. And the next minute, my palms collided with his face. “Are you fucking crazy?” I hissed through gritted teeth. He didn't even look remorseful at what he did. Instead he took his hands to his face and palmed it in a tender way. “How dare you kiss me?” “Fuck, that was new!” He winked while licking his lips. All I felt was anger. I wished I could slap him again. “The next time you lay those filthy hands on me, Derek, I'll make sure you never use them again.” I spat again and I tried to walk away from him, but he held my hands in a way that I couldn't move it. “Let go of me, Derek!” I yelped in pain, but he didn't bulge. Instead

    Talia's POV “Are you going to let that bitch go, after embarrassing you before Lady Lydia and that shop attendant, huh ?” My wolf asked me for the umpteenth time, but I couldn't answer. Heck, I couldn't form any words. How could I answer when I was still seething with anger? I was fucking furious and I wished I hadn't walked away without hitting her. That bitch! How could she do such a thing? Well, it's not too late. Was I going to let her go easily after what she did to me? No fucking way! She embarrassed me before Lady Lydia and other people in the mall and I'm gonna make her pay for everything, but how? Zariel has been unreachable for the past few days! He's the only one who can help me out with the best idea for a punishment, but the fool is nowhere to be found. Anyways, it'll be better if he's dead. He's driving me crazy every minute."How about taking a quick break in the meantime? Maybe stop at that canteen? You know, sometimes stepping away is the best way to clear

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   ARE YOU DEAF?

    Lenora's POV The scent of paper and ink wrapped around me like a cloak as I stepped into the bookstore, a quiet refuge from the noisy city outside. The bell above the door chimed softly, announcing my arrival. My fingers trailed along the spines of well loved novels as I made my way deeper inside, my heart already thrumming with anticipation of getting my favourite book. I had spent weeks counting down to this day. Marietta, my favorite author, had announced her newest release on social media, and the moment the announcement went live, I marked the date in my calendar, already eager to get it. “Auctioned To My Alpha Professor.” The title alone sent a thrill through me. Heaven knows I couldn't wait to read it. I couldn't wait to read another masterpiece from her. And now, finally, it was here. The thought alone sent a wave of pleasure and excitement through me. Behind the counter sat an elderly woman, her silver hair pulled into a neat bun, and a pair of medicated glasses pe

    Lenora's POV “Good day, ma'am, and welcome to Chrome Heart Shopping mall.” The sales representative said to me as soon as I got into the mall and I smiled softly at her. “Good day to you.” I asked, my eyes darting around the mall in search of anything that might catch my attention. “What would you like to get?” She asked me and I took my attention back to her. I might just trust her to show me the best gifts they have here. “Well, I'd like to get some bags, shoes and dresses too.” I answered with a smile as usual. “Trust me, ma'am, you are at the right place.” She smiled warmly at me. “Come with me.” She gestured and I walked behind her. Mara had long gone to the other section to get what she needed. “Awwwn!” I cooed as I saw a necklace that was out on display and immediately it caught my eyes. It reminded me of the Mountain Heart Necklace, the same one that Axel had ‘stolen’ from Charlotte. “Do you like it, ma'am?” The young lady asked and I nodded. “Of course

    Lenora's POV Two hours. That’s how long it had been since the guard burst into Zade’s study, breathless with warnings of a rogue attack. Two hours since he’d vanished into the day without a backward glance. I paced the room, my fingers twisting together. The mind link

 I swallowed hard. He has to come back. I walked towards Luna Ophelia's direction. “Do you think he's fine?” I asked her for the umpteenth time and she took my hands into hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Come on, Nora,” she chuckled lightly. Somehow, I've come to love the fact that she addresses me as Nora. It reminds me of my mom. She was the only one who has ever called me that name. And whenever someone else tried to call me that name, I always got angry, but right now, I wasn't pisse
