She was killed.

Lenora's POV

I was currently sitting on the bench in Zade's balcony. I wasn't tense anymore. Not after Zade had woken up. Although he didn't stay awake for a long time before falling back to sleep.

Indeed Luna Ophelia and Karl were right when they said he was a fighter.

The doctor had told Luna Ophelia that she wasn't sure if Zade would survive the attack, but he did. He survived. He was indeed a strong man. I can't help but appreciate the moon goddess for listening to my cries. Ever since my time in Axel's pack when she didn't bless my womb with any child, I have decided to stop putting my trust in her, because she was always fond of betraying me. But from now on, I think I've found a solid reason to believe in her. At least she answered my plea this time when I called.

That's more than enough reason to trust in her again.

I was suddenly interrupted by a tap on my shoulders and I turned around to see Luna Ophelia. She had a huge smile on her face.

“Mother!” I called out. It

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   APOLOGY LETTER

    Hi guys. First of all, I want to take out my time to appreciate you all for the endless support that you've all been giving to my book, for never failing to read every chapter I drop. I am so grateful and I'm never going to take it for granted no matter what. 🥹🥹 And also, I've been seeing some of y'all's comments about Melissa and her wolf. I'm really sorry for causing confusion about that. Indeed Melissa killed her wolf and I'm really sorry for writing something else. I have taken note of that and I'll not make that same mistake again. I know that no amount of apology would make up for the confusion caused, but I am really sorry. Most times, I have to read through my outline to be reminded about where I stopped in a particular book. I hope this helps. Xoxo 💋💋

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   DON'T EVER SHOW YOUR FACE HERE

    Lenora's POV “What?” A sharp gasp tore from my throat, the sound echoing in the room. My heart clenched as her words sank in. Each syllable felt like a dagger to my chest. Her daughter was killed by Axel? The thought alone was unbearable. My hands trembled and I felt the weight of her pain pressing down on me. Her lips curved into a small smile, but it was hollow. It didn't reach her eyes. It was the kind of smile that spoke of years of buried pain and anguish. The smile was like a mask to hide the storm raging within her. “Yes, Lenora,” she said, her voice steady but laced with fury. “My innocent daughter was killed by Axel eight years ago.” My stomach churned, a mix of anger and disbelief swirling inside me. “That’s… that’s cruel,” I stammered, my voice trembling. “Why would he do something so monstrous?” Her gaze hardened, her fingers tightening around the edge of the table as if she was anchoring herself to the present “He’s a monster,” she said, in an icy tone. “He lost

    Talia's POV I was almost dozing off when I got a call from my phone and I groaned in annoyance. Who the hell is calling me at such a time? Past nine? I reached for the phone on the nightstand and Freda's name flashed across the screen. What could she possibly want from me at such a time? I had asked her to call me only when she had any important information to send across. ‘Maybe she did now.’ A voice whispered to me and I exhaled. Maybe she did.“Hey, Freda, what's wrong? Why are you calling me at such a time? Couldn't it wait until the next morning, huh?” I groaned as soon as I picked the call. “I'm sorry, Lady Talia. I shouldn't have called you at such a time, but I just couldn't help it. I have a very important message for you!” “Spill!” I gave a curt response. “It's about Alpha Zade's mate and Luna Ophelia. I overheard her discussion with our Alpha's mate. You won't believe what I found” I rolled my eyes when she paused. “Can you just go straight to the point, Freda? I

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   YOU KNOW EACH OTHER?

    Lenora's POV The guards didn't say a word as they led me out of the pack grounds. My mind felt blank, like it had shut off completely, and my body just moved on its own, like it knew what to do even when I didn’t. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. After everything I'd been through, after everything I'd tried to do, to make things right, it had all come crashing down. I glanced back at the pack house one last time, my heart aching. This had been my home, my sanctuary. And now, it is gone. I had no one. No pack. No family. No Zade. The guards finally released me, their expression unreadable. They didn’t say goodbye. They just turned and walked away, leaving me standing there, alone. I didn't know where to go. I didn't know what to do. But all I knew was that I had lost everything. I needed no soothsayer to tell me that. I lost everything and it was all because of Axel. Because of me. I sank to the ground, my legs giving out beneath me. The tears came then, hot and uncontr

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   WHY CAN'T I BE HAPPY FOREVER?

    Lenora's POV Standing before me was none other than Jeremy, the same man who had hit me with his car some days ago. I had almost forgotten about him. “You know each other?” Lucia repeated when she didn't hear any words from either of us. I turned back to face her. “Yes, Lucia. I know him. We've met some days ago” I answered her, my eyes still fixed on her face. I didn't tell her about the part where he hit me with his car. That information wasn't needed after all. “Oh!” She mouthed. “I see! Jeremy is my son and my only child!” “Hey mama!” I watched as Jeremy walked closer to his mother and wrapped her with his big arms. “How have you been?” It didn't get past my notice how Lucia's face was suddenly beaming with smiles. Genuine smile. The same smile that any mother would have once they meet their children, especially the ones who have been away from them for a long time. Too bad I'm never going to experience such a genuine smile no matter what I do. I won't ever be able t

    Lenora's POV “I could say the same for you, Lenora, what are you doing here?” Beta Derek asked as he walked closer to where I was. “Do you know her, Derek?” Jeremy asked, his face knitted into a frown. “Isn't it obvious, Jeremy? We know each other. Else, I wouldn't have known her name!” Derek replied, even though his eyes were still fixed on my face. “How have you been, Lenora?” He asked. He tried to pull me into his arms, but he stopped himself. It was as if he was scared to do it. No, not scared. He was shy. Well, since he couldn't do it, I took the initiative and wrapped my arms around him, but when I tried pulling away, he held me firmly, like his life depended on me. “How are you doing, Derek? It's been a while.” I asked as soon as I pulled away from the hug. “Yeah, it is! I've missed you.” I didn't say anything to that. I couldn't. How could I answer that? It's not a bad thing for him to say he's missed me, but for someone like Derek, it was a bad thing. H

    Lenora's POV “Unbelievable!” I let out a small laugh. “This is totally unbelievable, Derek! How could you kill her? What has she done to deserve all of that, huh?” “I wanted Charlotte Morgan, but she turned me down. Therefore I did what I know best. I ended…..” Before he could finish his statement, my hands collided with his face. He looked stunned, but who cares? “You fool.” I hissed in annoyance, especially at how he sounded so plain. One would have thought that he was talking about a casual topic like the weather. “You are such a murderer. How could you do that to an innocent girl? When a woman rejects you, you have no right to force yourself on her. You have no right to become aggressive with her just because she rejects you. Get that into your head!” “No!” He shook his head. “A woman has no right to reject a man's advances. If she rejects us, we are free to do whatever we want with her and that's exactly what I did.” I let out a loud scoff. “I’ve always thought that you

    Talia's POV “How's he doing now? And when is he going to wake up?” I asked the doctor who had come to check on Zade. “Well, I must say there's an improvement….” “Of course there should be an improvement. Zade is not a weak Alpha. He's a true Alpha!” I answered like a mother who was proud of her child's victory. She nodded her head. “He should be awake any moment from now.” She answered and I sighed in relief. I couldn't help but be happy that he'll be awake soon. I can't wait to see him again. I can't wait to break the news to him that his mate was responsible for his sister's death. I can't begin to imagine the disappointment and the pain that'll be on his face. “I just hope he believes you….” My wolf started, but I cut her off with an eye roll. “Why wouldn't he? Do you know how much he loves his sister?” “Yes, I do. I know how much he loves her, it's just that we don't know if he'll ever believe that his mate had a hand in his sister's death. I just don't think he

    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

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   ZADE WILL BE FINE

    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….our lifeline….remained silent, no matter how desperately I reached through the bond. Where are you? Every second stretched into an eternity. If the rogues had ambushed him… if they’d found a way to sever our connection… 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
