All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Rowan's POV"Time's against us, we get back to him immediately," I said, arranging the documents and holding them tightly in my hands as I left the study."Think about all the revenue that would be generated if he builds a clinic here," Raven said, her voice filled with the lust and greed for money."Oh, that surely would be nice, but we need to act fast in order to win the war at hand," I replied hastily, working to the hallway and down the stairs."What's the rush about, my Lord?" a voice asked, causing me to stop short in my tracks, inches away from the car that'd take us back to Moonstone pack. I turned around and found Elder Thompson walking towards us, his hands behind his back.The fool still had not gone home?I gave no reply to him, ordering the guards to open the gates as I tried to get into the car. "Just came around to let you know that it's been decided by the joint elders of the council to surround the pack in readiness for battle tomorrow," Elder Thompson said as he app

Selena's POV"Enough," I said, rebuking Raven after seeing that she was being suspicious. "It takes a while to get the full effect of a change in wolf."Walking away from Rowen, I picked up the documents, the most important tool in regaining my pack from him. Pulling it open, I took out a pen and signed on it."There, seventy percent, all mine.... for the good of all wolf kind," I said, quickly adding the last part to disguise my pleasure at signing the document."Deal's done," Rowan said, stretching his arm a little and making to go out of the cave."Wait," I called and he stopped abruptly, turning to face me.Walking over to him, I said, "you have a war to fight, Rowen, and that war would surely end your rule... if you fight it alone." I said, turning away from him and walking towards the inner cave slowly."Wait, great one, what do you mean?" he asked, his voice laced with desperation."Oh, nothing to trouble you, only that you stand a chance of losing the throne if that war is fou

Selena's POVI turned back and said some incantations, my eyes instantly turning red this time. Suddenly the arrows froze up in the sky, turning ice. Muttering another incantation, the iced arrows turned and hit the wolves in the trees, sending them down to the ground. All the warriors, upon hearing loud thuds, stopped and looked back. Their war chants grew as all the bodies fell, painting the forest grounds red. "All hail the Seer!""Bless the gods for bringing him to our midst!"Words like these traveled through the crowds as they chanted their war cries louder. I searched the faces of the warriors, looking for Rowan, and then I found it. His eyes were narrowed and squinting. He was obviously envious of the chants."Enough!" he shouted as the last wolf in the tree dropped to the ground dead. He looked at the splattered body, as though it added to the effect of his envy. "We have a long fight ahead of us. Save your energy for that." The warriors promptly obeyed and moved on silent

Selena's POV"I gave that as my last instruction before passing out.""And he followed it to the very core," Zane replied his face gradually easing off, "such a jerk he is.""Oh, stop it," I said giggling. "Now, tell me, what would be the story at the moment if he had insisted on giving an aid to me? "Zane stared blankly at me, not at the point knowing where I was heading to. "Of course it would have been discovered that I was fooling them all along," I added, making meaning to my whole suspense. "Tearing up my dress to get the arrow out would have revealed the truth to them." "Hmm," Zane muttered as he thought on my words. "So his foolishness was to our own benefit."I was about giving him a reply when I felt a sudden emptiness in my current dimension. My wolf suddenly seemed to stray out of me, stepping on the bed and jumping down. It looked back, locking eyes with me and giving a low howl. I felt the very strong urge to get up and go with it. "Selena..... Selena..... Selena!!!!

Rowan's POVI sank into my seat with a hard sigh. The Seer was gone now, but still, I could hear that victory chants in his name echo across the courtyard, filling the night air with a chilling energy. The warriors revered him-no, they worshipped him. Why wouldn't they? He helped us during the war, repelling most of the attacks that would have killed us in an instant. I was grateful for what he did, yet, I had this unsettling feeling within me. Yes, I was torn between admiration and the bitter taste of jealousy, but there seemed to be something... more. I shifted my gaze to my open window where the cool night breeze blew into my room from. The blast of firecrackers, the bright lights of the fireworks and the book of cannonballs signalled the beginning of the celebration feast, all that were still done in the name of the Seer, the Chosen one. A low groan escaped my lips as I adjusted myself on my seat. Stretching my hands to the small stool by my side, I grabbed my gin bottle and pl
