All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Selena's POVWith a newfound sense of purpose, I turned and walked back out into the dining hall, ready to face whatever lay ahead. The music was still playing, the laughter and chatter of the pack members still filling the air. But I knew that I had changed, that I had grown. I had faced my demons, and I had come out on top.As I walked back to my seat, I caught sight of Raven, sitting across from me with a smug look on her face. But I didn't feel any anger or hatred towards her. Instead, I felt a sense of pity, a sense of sadness. She was so consumed by her own hatred and anger, so blinded by her own desires that prompted her to act against me back then.I shook my head, feeling a sense of disappointment wash over me. As I sat back down in my seat, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The night was still young, and I knew that there were still many challenges ahead. But I was ready, I was prepared. I was a seer, a healer. And I would always stand by my principles, no matter

Selena's POVAs I looked around the table, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Rowan's eyes seemed to bore into mine as he murmured some strange words. Raven's eyes, on the other hand was sparkling with a mixture of curousity and concern. And then there was Zane, his expression serious, but I could still sense unease beneath it all. He was a good leader, but he was also a cautious one. He didn't seem ready to take any chances on the safety of any pack member.Just how the meal that was meant to be one of unity and peace quickly turned sour, thanks to Rowan and his inquisitiveness."Very well then," Rowan started, his voice firm." Let's get on with it. Who's going to test the food? "We all paused, sharing glances with each other. Some of the chefs present turned down their faces. Then Kato walked in, as Innocent as ever."You there, Kato. We need your expertise over here," Zane called, stretching his hands towards Kato.At that moment my wolf grumbled inside me. I

Selena's POVAs soon as Rowan and his warriors left the dining venue, the room seemed to hold it's breath for a while, as if waiting for the next shoe to drop.And it did.Without warning, Karen burst into the dining room, her face contorted with a mixture of rage and grief. She seemed to put in a mask of emotions all through."You!" she screamed, her finger pointing accusingly at me. "You did this, Selena. You decided to put our pack to shame! You poisoned Kato."The room fell silent, with all eyes turning towards my direction, expecting more or less a form of defence from me.I stood there, frozen in stunned silence as I tried to lean on Zane for support."What's the meaning of this accusation?" Zane asked his sister. "Selena had nothing to do with Kato's death."But Karen seemed to be beyond reason, as her eyes blazed in anger, her voice rising in a hysterical pitch. "Don't try to defend her Zane!" she screamed. "I know what I saw. I saw her arguing with Kato earlier today. I sa

Selena's POVThe guards pushed the door open, revealing a set of steep stairs that led down into the darkness.One of the guards gestured for me to precede him down the stairs, and I did, my heart heavy with despair. As we descended deeper into the dungeons, the air grew colder and damper, the smell of mold and decay filling my nostrils.We reached the bottom of the stairs and found ourselves in a long, narrow corridor, lined with cells on either side. The guards led me to the end of the corridor, where a single cell stood, its door open and waiting.The guard gestured for me to enter, and I did, my heart sinking with despair. As I stepped inside, the guard closed the door behind me, the sound of the iron door clanging shut echoing through the corridor.I was alone, trapped in the darkness of the dungeons, with no way out. I leaned against the cold stone wall, my eyes adjusting slowly to the darkness. I could hear the sound of scurrying rodents, the creaking of the old wooden beams, a

Selena's POV "But Zane," I started, looking into his eyes. "The Aeges stone cannot be wielded without the authority of the Seer. " " That's what we thought, but she insisted that there are other ways of using it to determine the truth," Zane replied. "No, that can't be true," I said, taking a step backwards. Things were just happening so fast. "Take it easy Selena, come," he said, drawing me closer to him, the metal bars our only demarcation. "Whatever happens, I'll make sure your life and existence comes before mine." That was so sweet of him. At least I felt protected, but not from the Aeges stone I knew. If wielded wrongly it could harm or kill even an innocent werewolf. Then I remembered. "Zane. There's something I think you should know. The Aeges stone, " I paused, looking into his eyes. " The last time I observed it, it looked... fake." I had expected him to flare up, to react, but he kept calm, his entire being in rapt attention. "We'll get to the bottom of that. But
