All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna's Second Chance: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Ruby:"Darling, what were you doing?" Mrs. Smith asked the moment I entered the living room, her gaze flickering between me and her husband like a hawk assessing its prey.Her voice carried an edge, thinly veiling an accusation that unsettled me. After discovering the truth about Mr. Smith moments ago, I understood her behaviour and why she acted like a jealous wife. It was clear that whatever had occurred between Mr. Smith and Lilith had left Mrs. Smith feeling deeply insecure.I met her gaze squarely, refusing to let her intimidating demeanour shake me, and, even with the accusations lurking beneath her words, I tried to maintain a calm exterior, determined not to give her any reason to doubt my professionalism. But as I trailed behind Mr. Smith, her piercing stare felt like a weight on my shoulders, as if she were attempting to see through me.The hostility in her eyes sent chills down my spine. It was unnerving, to say the least, to be the target of such intense scrutiny, and desp

Ruby:Unconsciously, I found myself heading towards Damian's office, like I had been possessed by a spirit. Pausing outside the door, I hesitated, unsure if I should intrude on his space. But the worry gnawing at my gut pushed me forward, and I gently pushed the door open."Damian?" I called out softly as I stepped into the dimly lit room. The familiar scent of cedarwood and old books enveloped me, offering a sense of comfort.My eyes scanned the room, searching for any sign of him, and there he was, seated behind his desk. His brow furrowed in concentration as he sifted through a stack of paperwork, but when he looked up and saw me, his expression softened with surprise and warmth."Ruby, hey," he greeted, his voice soft and welcoming. "What brings you here?""I... I was just passing by," I stammered, trying to mask the nervousness in my voice. "I thought I'd check in on you."Damian's smile softened, and he gestured for me to take a seat opposite him. "Care to join me? I'm finalisin

Ruby:After closing the door behind me, I wandered through Damian's house, my mind still reeling from the tense exchange I had just witnessed.I hadn't anticipated feeling so uneasy during my first encounter with one of Damian's family members. His sister turned out to be quite different from what I had imagined—she bore no resemblance to him whatsoever. Instead, she exuded an air of arrogance and intimidation, and I couldn't shake the peculiar scent that seemed to linger around her.She didn't have the scent of a typical werewolf or an ordinary human, and her manner of speaking clearly indicated her dislike for me and her opposition to any woman being with her brother. I couldn't help but wonder why.Was she fond of Ava? I sighed as I glanced around and noticed that my feet had carried me to an unfamiliar spot. A portrait caught my eye, depicting a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Anna. The only person who could fit that description was Ava, Anna's mother. It was weird to se

Ruby;"Who's your mate?" I asked, attempting to mask the ache in my chest beneath a veil of nonchalance."Ruby, I understand you're upset, and you have every right to be. But trust me, it's not what you think. There's an explanation for all of this, but before I get into it, Damian's voice trailed off as his gaze shifted to the other men in the tent."Out!" His command was sharp, sending the men scurrying out of the tent,leaving us alone in the bloody aftermath."Ruby," Damian began, but I cut him off before he could say anything more."Don't say my name. Just make this madness stop, please, because it's all your doing," I breathed out, feeling the pain in my core intensify."Are you giving me permission to touch you?" His question held a hint of mischief, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. All I could manage was a reluctant nod.His lips curved up in a half-smile, and his eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint, like they had stars sending an unexpected flutter through my ches

Ruby:"Selene was right. I came at the perfect moment." The beautiful lady wearing a similar white dress to mine laughed loudly, and a shiver of discomfort ran down my spine as her words sank in. I closed my eyes briefly, trying to quell the frustration rising within me, before running my hands through my hair in embarrassment.It felt like the universe was conspiring against me, and Ava's mocking laughter only added fuel to the fire burning in my heart. I shot her a glare, hoping to silence her, but she just smirked back, enjoying my discomfort.Turning to Damian, my jaw clenched as I watched him stand there like a statue, his eyes locked on the resurrected figure of his dead mate, a look of disbelief etched on his face. I reached out to him, my fingers trembling as I hoped to break through the invisible barrier that seemed to hold him captive."Damian, snap out of it!" I yelled with desperation as I fought to get his attention. But he remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on Ava as if sh
