All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Selena's POVI wandered round the pack house, a ghost of my former self. My footsteps echoed round the almost deserted corridors, the recent events haunting me.A mirror hung in the hallway and I stopped to look at my image that formed in it. My eyes, once bright with purpose, now reflected deeply the turmoil that was within me. My shoulders were slumped, weighed down from the burden of the mistakes I made.A group of female werewolves passed by. I recognized them all, and I straightened my shoulders. They all passed without offering their usual greetings to me as the Seer."How news spread so quicky," I muttered to myself as I watched them walk by. Sighing, I turned, drifting outside and into the garden attached to the rails.In the gardens, the moon cast an eerie glow on the manicured lawns while my gaze wandered, lost in thought. My mind drifted back to the times when father was still the Alpha of my pack, how he always cautioned me to be careful when laying trust on others.'You t

Zane's POVPacing the confines of my chamber, I watched as the shadows cast by the flickering candles danced like restless spirits.I made effort to take away my mind from the conflicting emotions warring beneath. Anger, regret and frustration topped the list, each tangling together like the thorns of a long forgotten rose. My thoughts, drifting back endlessly to Selena, pictured her eyes filled with the fire that had once drawn me to her. I had been harsh, too harsh on her. my words cutting deeper than intended. "Damn it," I muttered, hitting my fist against the wall. The memories of her hurt expression lingered deep in me, a constant reminder of my failings. I stopped pacing around after several hours through the night, walking to the window and noting the slow but steady ascension of the sun into the sky.It was morning already.I suddenly felt a pang of longing, a desire to get to her, to bridge of chasm that had grown between us.I turned away from grocery window, my eyes sc

Selena's POVGuiding the horse through the hidden entrance, the darkness enveloped me. I felt a shiver run through my spine as I wasn't in familiar grounds. I put my right hand round the amulet of Eldrid as I scanned the whole space. The air grew thick with a eerie, magical energy that seemed to vibrate in and out of me. The powers and magic round the place seemed to ignite the amulet of Eldrid, as it suddenly began to pulse with power, illuminating the path ahead. I felt a sudden sense of trepidation intertwined with determination. The determination to get back my powers from Xaren.A village suddenly appeared in front of me, one that was unlike any I had ever seen before. Buildings, looking strange seemed to grow organically from the ground, their walls gnarled like living trees. their roofs radiated a deep blue, shimmering with a strange glow.Turning round, I could see magical creatures moving about, wolves seperated from their bodies moved about, their forms blurring and shiftin

Selena's POVI charged at Zane, my wolf, controlled by Xaren, determined to kill him. "You can't be doing this, Selena. Think about all... " he paused as I reached him, striking him real hard with my claws. It tore his face again. "Think about the Aeges stone. Think about your role as the Seer of the pack. "" You must die! " I screamed, still controlled by the influence of Xaren."Look, the rogues are out again. You can't have them all see you commit such atrocity. Step out out of this, Selena. Think, think about the love we share," Zane pressured, still dodging all my attempts.His last words struck a cord, helping me reach out against my wolf."It's seems impossible Zane. I just can't help it. "" You can, just concentrate and you'll break free, " Zane replied, still dodging my attempts at his life. With a surge of effort, I pushed back against Xaren's magic, my wolf's instincts taking back its place within me as I regained control of my body."No.. this can't be.." Xaren murmure

Selena's POV"Selena, think about all the powers you'd get if you... if you stop this and join us now, " Xaren tried to day amidst the draining of his powers to the Aeges stone.Walking slowly towards Zane's lifeless body, I replied him. "You know, Xaren. You really had the guts to think I'll join you against the free born werewolves." " Don't do this, Selena. The entire rogues scattered round the continent would come after you! That's a promise, " Xaren threatened, his powers being zapped into the Aeges stone."Let them come, we would be ready," a familiar voice replied him, sending a waving shock through me."Zane!" I called, lowering myself to him and planting a long kiss on his lips. "How... how did you?" I paused, planting another kiss on his face."The moon goddess, Selena. It simply wasn't my time to go. My destiny hasn't been fulfilled yet,"Zane replied, sitting up with an effort."I love you Zane, I've always did!" I exclaimed, slowly putting both my hands on his face."I've
