The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   MAKE HER OURS
Zade's POV"This Saturday," I told her, my fingers tracing idle patterns along her arm. "For Mrs Smith. For all of them that we lost in the fire. I'll finally lay them to rest." Her head rested on my chest, the soft rise and fall of her breath a soothing rhythm against my skin. We'd been talking for what felt like hours, mostly about the burial ceremony. This Saturday. I wanted to finally lay their souls to rest. âThat's good, Zade,â She whispered quietly. "I'm glad that you have chosen a date already." Then silence settled over us, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It never was with her. I took her hand, her skin warm and soft against my touch, and gave it a gentle squeeze. Her eyes, those captivating pools of warmth, met mine. She flashed me a small smile. My gaze dropped to her lips, the way they parted slightly as she exhaled. And as if drawn by an invisible force, I leaned in and captured her lips in mine. Her breath hitched. I expected her to push me away, but she didn't

Lenora's POV I sat before the vanity in my room, gazing at my image in the mirror, holding the test results on my lap as tears streamed down my face. My hands shook as I gripped the test results, the words ânegativeâ and âbarrenâ piercing my thoughts like a branding iron. As the Luna of the Pack, my responsibility was to bear an heir, yet here am I - infertile. I will never be able to bear children of my own. I have never considered myself a believer in miracles, but at this moment, I hope a miracle occurs and the test results reveal âpositiveâ. The weight had been bearing down on me for years, and with every month that went by, the Pack's demands became more intense. I can't help but feel that very soon I'll be sent away from the Pack and the Pack would force my mate to take another woman that can give him an heir. âOur mate loves us and he won't hurt us that wayâ My wolf whispered to me and I smiled sadly. If only that was the truth. He has fallen out of love with me just

Lenora I was still lost in my thoughts when a knock came. My heart sank thinking that it might be Axel, returning to demand my presence at the ceremony. I opened the door and I was shocked to see my step mother and Melissa. Anger washed over me as I glared at their faces. Matilda knew that her daughter was having an affair with my mate and she didn't scold her. Why was I even surprised? That was what she did to my mother. She was once my mother's best friend. My late mother was my father's mate, but he cheated on her with Matilda. My mother who couldn't bear the news about her mate's betrayal, committed suicide. My father blamed himself for his beloved mate's death. He couldn't live with the fact that he made my mother lose her life. Thus he killed himself too. I was only eight years old at the time and I was made to live with Matilda. Those times of my life were the worst. At some point, I wanted to leave, but I couldn't. I had nowhere to stay. Thus I just stayed in the hous

Lenora As I walked into the Grand Hall, I saw that it was already filled with Pack members, all dressed in their finest attire. The hall is decorated with balloons and ribbons, and a large banner reads âCongratulations to Alpha Axel and Miss Melissaâ and I just rolled my eyes. I was wearing a simple yet elegant black dress, my hair pulled back in a loose bun. My eyes were sunken and my skin was pale. I could feel everyone's eyes on me, but I ignored it as I walked towards the front roll. Anger washed over me as I saw that Melissa was seated on his right side. Well, I sat down next to my mate, trying to pretend to be happy for him and his mistress. No matter how hard I try, I can't pretend to be happy for them. I mean which Luna in her right senses would happily accept such betrayal from her mate? Axel stands at the front of the hall, a broad smile on his face. He's wearing a tailored suit, and his eyes are shining with pride. âI welcome you all to this ceremony. For those

Lenora I gradually opened my eyes, drowsily observing my environment. I saw that I was in the dungeon, the chill of the stone walls and the faint torchlight starkly reminding me of my situation. I tried to sit up, but a surge of dizziness overwhelmed me, making me lie back down. âHello?â I signaled the guards who were standing by the door and one of them rushed forward and bowed before me. âGreetings, Luna!â He greeted me and I nodded. âHow long have I been here?â I asked him. âYou've been here for two days, Ma'am,â He said gruffly. âYou've been unconscious the whole time,â I felt a wave of anger wash over me upon hearing the news. Two days? How could Axel keep me here for two days? I was the Luna for heaven's sake!! âThanks!â I said to the guard and he bowed and walked back to his duty post. At that moment, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching. I glanced up to find Melissa and her mother approaching me, wearing satisfied smiles. I noticed the other woman behind

ZADE "Of course, I do. I can feel the mate bond," She replied in a robotic tone which indicated that she wasn't happy. She didn't sound happy at all. But that was the least of my problems. At least for now. What mattered now was that I've found my mate. My lips curved into a smile as the thought settled in my head. This had to be the happiest moments of my life. I never thought that a day would come when I would find my mate, but now she was right in front of me. Although I still have no idea what plans the moon goddess has up her sleeves to make Lenora of all people, my mate. I mean she is my archenemy mate. This is so forbidden! Besides, I've been in love with her for a long time now. Fuck, I've been in love with Lenora since the first time I set my eyes on her. That was four years ago and I had plans of chasing her and making her mine, but all those plans went down the drain when I realized that she was not single and worst of all, she was Axel's mate. I couldn't g
Last Updated : 2025-01-15The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   What if you change your mind?
Lenora What the hell is going on? Is he in his right senses? How can he say he doesn't give a damn whether I can give him children or not? I mean no Alpha in his right senses will want to be with a barren Luna for heaven's sake! He wants to be with a woman who will never conceive? EVERY Alpha wants a woman who will provide them with pups that can succeed them when they are no more. My barrenness was the main reason why Axel's attitude towards me changed. If I wasn't barren, I'd have still been in the pack and maybe Melissa wouldn't have come into the picture. âYou don't know what you are saying, Zade. We can't be together. I can't give you any pups at all, even if we have to wait foreverâ I said in a stern voice, hoping to make him change his mind, but he shook his head. âOf course I know what I want, Lenora. I want you and you alone. Like I said earlier, if the moon goddess gives us children, that's a bonus, but if she doesn't, we will adopt one,â He repeated the same wor

Lenora Zade took my hands in his as he led me to his car that was parked across the road. A man dressed in black suit rushed forward to open the door, but Zade shook his head, indicating that he'll do it and the guard bowed, before walking back to the car. With a huge smile on his face, he opened the car door for me and I got in, muttering my thanks. I didn't even realize that there was a driver inside the car already. He got in too and immediately, the driver started the car. A thought suddenly popped into my head. Even though he had told me not to worry about anything, I just couldn't help it. Clearing my throat, I started. âSo tell me, Zade, are you sure that your pack is gonna accept me?â I asked him. He took my hands into his and gave it a gentle squeeze. âWhy are you worried, baby girl? You don't have to worry about being accepted by them or not. They have no choice than toââ âNo, Zade. I don't think I can bear it if they don't accept me. What if they see me as a spy

Zariel's POV âI warned you, didn't I?â My wolf hissed as soon as I stepped out of the cab, but I couldn't even answer him. I couldn't. Not when my body hurts like I'd been hit with a sledgehammer. How could Zade have fooled me this way? The motherfucker was ready to give me the throne. He was willing to give it to me. Just like I'd planned, I made him know that I won't let him meet his mate unless he gives me the throne. He was ready to do it, but at that point, that bitch had to spoil everything. I could vividly remember the smirk on Zade's face as he stared at me, telling me that I'll never sit on the throne no matter how much I tried. He'd told me that he knew that his mate wasn't with me, but had just been playing along just so he could get a hold on me. Fuck! I growled in anger as I punched the wall closer to me. I ignored the sizzling pain that shot through my body. After all, it was not compared to the other pain coming from my body. How did I not realise that it was
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   GET READY TO DIE
Damien's POV I was standing on the balcony when my housekeeper approached, holding out my phone in her hands. âI'm sorry to disturb you sir, but you have a call.â She announced and I took my eyes away from the bikers racing on the field before turning to face her. âThank you, Grace.â I smiled at her as I took the phone from her. I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face when I saw the caller. Melissa⊠the mother of my son. Why could she be calling me at such a time? Shouldn't she be resting by now? I didn't answer the call. I just let it ring to the end. Almost immediately, a text message popped on the screen. âAnswer the phone, you foolâ The message read. I was about to respond to the text, but just then, her call came in. This time, I picked up the first ring. âHi, Lissa, do you miss me already?â âIn your wild dreams!â She hissed and the smile on my face deepened. âThen care to explain why you are calling me at such a time if you weren't missing me.â I teased a
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   I FORGIVE YOU
Lenora's POV âI'm sorry I came late.â I said to Zade, but he shushed me. âDonât say that, baby girl. You came right in time, okay?â He pulled me into his arms and rested his head in the crook of my neck. We were currently sitting on the couch. âIf you hadn't called me earlier, I'd have handed the throne over to Zariel and by now I'll be in deep regret because the woman he claimed to have in his custody wasn't you. It was a stranger. So trust me, you came right in time.â My lips curled into a soft smile. âYou are welcome, Zade.â I didn't realise how much I've missed him until right now. I'm glad that everything has been settled and Zariel won't have any means to blackmail him into giving him the throne anymore. âZade?â I called out, my voice breaking the comfortable silence. He hummed in response and I took that as a go-ahead order. âI'm sorry about your sister's death. I had no idea that Axel killed her just to get the necklace. You can reject me if you want, and I promise to
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   WE ARE DOOMED
Melissa's POV Oh goodness! I'm done for. What have we gotten ourselves into? Why did my mother have to lie that Damien was her son? Of all the lies that she could come up with, did it have to be this? And now Axel wants to make him his Gamma. Oh goodness! This is not going to end well. âWhat's wrong, Melissa?â He asked, his forehead knitted into a frown. âUhâŠ. Nothing actually.â I stuttered. It won't be a good idea if Damien is made the Gamma. That'll mean more trouble for me. How will I be able to cope with his presence in the pack house? I have to do something. I can't let this happen. âDon't you want your brother to be the Gamma or what?â Yeah, right. My brother. All thanks to my mother who couldn't come up with any other lie than this one. Not just any one, but a grave one. What would happen if Axel comes to know that Damien isn't my brother? The thought of what he'll do to us sent a chill down my spine. âOfâŠof course, not, my Alpha. You can make him your Gamma.â
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   I'LL MAKE HIM MY GAMMA
Axel's POV I was still in my study when my Beta entered and told me a man had been asking for Melissaâprobably her ex-boyfriend, he said. Without hesitation, I sprang to my feet and headed for the gate to see who it was. But just as I reached for the door, it opened, and Melissa stepped inside. Her cheeks were flushed, her expression unreadable. Something had definitely happened. I needed no soothsayer to tell me. âAre you cheating on me?â I confronted her the moment she stepped inside. A startled gasp slipped from her lipsâbut just as quickly, she composed herself. âAh, Axel,â she breathed as she placed her hand on her chest. âYou scared the living hell out of me,â she said, forcing a smile to her face. âThat doesn't answer my question, Melissa.â My voice tightened with frustration. âAre you cheating on me?â She let out a sharp scoff, anger flashing in her eyes. "What's wrong with you, Axel? How could you even ask me that?" âMelissaâŠ.â Her lips twisted in disbe
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME?
Melissa's POV "Tell me, sweetheart, how did it go?" my mother asked as soon as I walked into my room. I didnât reply. Instead, I moved to the bed and collapsed onto it. I was completely exhausted. "Did Axel tell you about the strange woman?" she pressed, her voice growing sharper. "The one claiming to be his mother?" But I only shook my head, too exhausted to form words. âI knew it.â She hissed. âOf course he wouldn't tell you.â I drew in a sharp breath. âWhat do you suggest I do, mom?â I asked quietly. âI really want to know about her. Judging from the way Axel's countenance changed when I asked about her, I knew there was more to their relationship.â âMe too.â She admitted truthfully. âI wanted to know too. He has never talked about her, nor have I seen or heard anything about her.â I was about to say something else, but at that moment, a sharp knock sounded at the door, cutting through the silence. I stared at my mother, âAre you expecting anyone?â But she shook her
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   STAY AWAY FROM HER
Melissaâs POV After what felt like forever, the car rolled to a stop in front of the mansion and before the driver could even park properly, I flung the door open and jumped out, ignoring my mother's sharp hiss behind me. âBe careful, Melissa, you are fucking pregnantâ she snapped, but I was already halfway to the door, my pulse racing with a strange urgency. I wanted to meet Alpha Axel badly. As soon as I got in, I found the new Beta. He stood guard in the foyer, his posture stiffening as I approached. âGreetings, my Luna.â He said with a slight bow. âWhere's Alpha Axel?â I demanded, ignoring his greeting. âIn his study,â he answered, hesitating. âBut, Luna, he gave strict orders not to beââ I didnât wait for him to finish. Turning on my heels, I marched towards the study, my heels clicking against the marble floor. When I reached the door, I knocked once.⊠just for the sake of formality, in case he was with any Alpha at the moment. I didn't want to appear
The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   IT'S A LONG STORY
Melissa's POV âSo tell me doctor, how's my grandson doing?â My mother asked the doctor as soon as she finished examining me. The bright smile on the doctor's face told me everythingâŠmy son was perfectly healthy. And judging by how much my bump had grown lately, he was thriving. By the gods, I can't wait to meet him, I can't wait to have him in my arms. âThe little one is doing wonderfully. In fact, he might just be the healthiest baby I've ever seen.â The doctor said, grinning as she took her seat. âOf course he is.â My mother chimed in, her voice brimming with pride. "His father is a warriorâstrong and resilient. That strength runs in his blood." She added with a smile."So, when can we expect his arrival?" she pressed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Mother?" I blinked in surprise. I can't believe that she's asking that. "What?" She frowned, tilting her head, to stare at me. âI'm only seven months along. He won't be here for another two months.â I reminded her an
