All Chapters of Return Of The Betrayed Luna: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Chapter Title: A Year Without You*(Laura’s POV)*It’s been one year since I last saw or heard from Maxwell. An entire year of silence, no letters, no telephone calls, no messages—nothing. The weight of his absence clings to me like a heavy fog, suffocating my every thought. He promised to keep in touch, to let me know he was safe, but it’s been too long. I can’t help but wonder if something terrible has happened to him. Has he forgotten me? Or worse, has he been captured?I sit on the edge of my bed, staring out of the small window of the golden pack I now call home. It’s a far cry from the freedom we felt when we first escaped the Black Pearl Pack together. I remember every moment as if it were yesterday—the way the moonlight lit up the forest as we ran through the trees, hearts pounding in sync, the thrill of escaping that hellhole. Those were some of the best days of my life.The memories flood back to me, bittersweet and beautiful. Maxwell was my anchor, my strength when I though

Chapter Title: Realizations and Revelations*(Augustus' POV)*I stood by the window, staring out into the dark expanse of the forest, the weight of the truth pressing heavily on my chest. The room was dimly lit, casting long shadows on the walls, but I hardly noticed. My mind was racing, replaying everything John had told me about Laura—her true identity, her tragic past, and the vengeance she was seeking.And now, as I pieced everything together, something else began to surface, something that had been bothering me for weeks. The day Lawi—or Laura, as I now knew—had mentioned that name in her sleep. It hadn’t meant anything to me at the time, but now, in the light of all this new information, it made perfect sense.“Laura,” I murmured to myself, testing the name on my tongue. “The Alpha of the Black Pearl Pack. The same Laura who’s been hunting down rogues across the region.”I clenched my fists at my sides, the pieces of the puzzle falling into place. There had been rumors for month

Chapter Title: The Calm Before the Fury*(King Augustus’ POV)*The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a golden hue over the room as I sat behind my desk, going through reports from the previous night’s patrol. The pack had been unusually quiet lately, but I knew better than to let my guard down. There was always something brewing, especially with the rogues lurking around, and I needed to stay ahead of it.Still, my mind kept drifting to Laura—no, *Lawi*, as she insisted on being called. She had been a mystery since the day she arrived, and despite our countless encounters, I couldn’t figure her out. She was brave, undeniably so, but she carried secrets, layers she refused to peel back, no matter how much I pressed. And yet, there was something about her that unsettled me, something that made it difficult to focus on anything else when she was around.The knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts.“Come in,” I called, setting the papers aside.The door opened, an

Chapter Title: The Unplanned Fight*(Laura’s POV)*“Are you sure this is the right place?” Troy asked me again, his voice filled with uncertainty.I sighed, rolling my eyes. “You’ve asked me this same question seven times already, Troy, and I keep telling you yes. Dumbass.” I couldn’t help but smirk at him as we walked into the dimly lit hall. The air was thick with tension, and the scent of sweat and blood hung heavy. This place was exactly the type of underground gathering I’d expect from rogues.As we entered, I spotted a group gathered around a makeshift ring in the center of the room. All eyes were on a girl, standing nervously beside a brute of a man—Mr. Hilfiger, from the sounds of it. The crowd was buzzing, eager for the next challenge.The referee’s voice rang out, cutting through the chatter. “Is there anyone who wants to challenge Mr. Hilfiger? If no one steps forward by the count of ten, the girl becomes his.”He started counting, and I felt my blood boil. That girl clearl

A Shifting Alliance*(Laura’s POV)*The fire crackled between us as we made our way back from hunting for food. The sun was setting, casting an orange glow over the horizon. I could feel Troy's eyes on me, always watching, always analyzing. Ever since we started working together, he had been trying to figure me out, but he was wasting his time. No one could truly know what was going on in my head, especially not Troy. I liked it that way."Where did you leave the girl?" I asked as we approached the cave where we had hidden her earlier.Troy motioned to the west. "In that cave over there," he replied, gesturing with his chin.I shook my head, suppressing a sigh. "She’s not there anymore."Troy paused, a frown creasing his brow as he stared at me. "How do you know?""Common sense," I replied flatly, not willing to tell him the truth. The real reason I knew she was gone was because I had seen it in my vision. But I wasn’t about to reveal that little detail to him. The less he knew about
