All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna's Second Chance: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ruby.I sighed, running my hands through my hair for what felt like the millionth time as I took a seat on my grandmother's old couch. I couldn't help but question whether the decision I made was the right one.Choosing to send Alex to the werewolf academy had been a difficult one, but oddly enough, that sharp slap on my face helped jolt my thoughts into place. It was a harsh reminder that sometimes the right decisions come with their share of pain.However, knowing that I would have to return there made my heart rate increase drastically. The place I never wanted to set foot in again—a place that took the life of someone I cared about and ultimately shattered me.The werewolf academy was built by my ex-mate's father as his contribution to the werewolf world, financially supported by other pack alphas. It was renowned as the biggest and most prestigious school out there.Yes, Alex receiving a full scholarship was a pretty big deal and significant opportunity, but what lingered in my m

Ruby:Throughout last night, I barely slept and ensured I had one of my eyes open. It would be foolish of me to let my guard down knowing that there was danger lurking.I managed to distract myself by reading the book about medicine and health given to me by my grandmother, but that wasn't sufficient to take my mind off things.There was an unsettling feeling permeating the air of this pack, as if the once-present light had been replaced by an overwhelming darkness.Alex's soft snores filled the room, and I found peace in the fact that at least he managed to get some sleep. However, the lingering thoughts in my mind centered on finding a way to be around him constantly and investigating the mysterious voice, now confirmed by my son."Good morning, sweetheart. It's time to get ready for school," I said, gently shaking Alex awake. He greeted the morning with a big smile, his eyes still heavy with sleep."Okay, nanny. I'm excited for my first day!" He exclaimed, hopping out of bed with e

Ruby:I was dragged through the familiar hallways of the pack house, and the memories of my haunting happy moments resurfaced with each reluctant step I took. "Please, I beg you, take the child and let me be. Take the girl, take the money, take the glory, but set me free." I pleaded, shouting desperately, for the rude man to hear me and spare me from facing Liam.A sense of dread washed over me, remembering the pain he had caused me in the past. I was done playing Super Hero. I was no super hero."There's no escaping from this now." The man barks back as he carries the little girl. Out of shame, I couldn't meet her eyes.Just as I prepared myself for the worst, the scent of authority lingered in the air as we approached the alpha's office, a place I never wished to revisit. The men pushed open the grand brown door, revealing the imposing figure of a person who was seated backwards behind an ornate desk.However, anger replaced my fear when the seat slowly turned around, revealing a w

Ruby:The heavy thud of the closing door sealed me within a chaotic whirlwind of emotions, triggered by the unexpected arrival of a man who I had never expected to meet—not in this life or next—and who was supposedly my second chance mate.Why moon goddess? Why.Memories of my past experience surged forth, stirring a maelstrom of conflicting feelings I had long buried and reminding me of the need to prepare myself for a second rejection and heartache of betrayal.It was inevitable.My heart raced erratically, torn between disbelief and a bizarre sense of recognition evoked by this unexpected alpha's presence, and I was taken aback trying to process everything that happened. His scent carried an unfamiliar twist, stirring restlessness within my wolf, a yearning for an unexplainable connection that now seemed to make sense.I didn't know when I had held the door in hopes for him to come back and take me along with me, but I was certain that my wolf had taken advantage of my vulnerabilit

Ruby"Wait. I thought my punishment was scheduled for tomorrow." I asked in confusion."Well, our Luna got impatient and wanted to deliver justice as soon as possible. You should be happy you aren't getting stoned to death, which is what you deserved, and only getting flogged while naked." He spat, pulling me roughly by the hair, and I struggled to my feet, my weakened legs barely supporting me.Lilith wouldn't be that cruel to strip me of the remaining dignity I had left, right?"Take it easy with her." Liam glared at Ben, who ignored him. He was really trying so hard to be a superhero in my life—at the wrong time."Stop being a weak bitch and move," Ben sneered, enjoying my evident suffering, and led me through the dimly lit corridor. The stench of decay and despair clung to the air, making each step feel heavier than the last.As we walked, I couldn't help but wonder what awaited me. The dread settled deep within my chest, but I refused to show any weakness. I had endured enough, a
