All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*Delilah*The bell rang, causing students to lurch to their feet to get into the hall. I took my time; I didn’t want to be around most of them anyway. I had no best friend to talk to or boyfriend to speak of. I did my best just to keep my head down and remain unnoticed.I finally gathered all my things and stood up from my desk to walk out behind the last person. The hallway was full of people talking, laughing, and enjoying the break between classes. I only had to make it through one more class before I could go home and enjoy my solitude. I walked to a bench and rummaged through my backpack, switching books for my next class. I looked up saw a group of guys standing together, with Andrew at the center. His life was exactly what I wanted. He was normal. He had friends, his parents loved him, he was handsome, and he had never dealt with bullying a day in his life. People loved him.It was hard for me to admit but I wanted that more than anything. I wanted parents that didn’t t

*Delilah*The next day at school was uneventful, for once. I was grateful but nervous. I didn’t see Kendra at all. I also slept without dreaming for the first time in about a week. Maybe it was a birthday gift.I groaned and rolled over in my bed, not wanting to get up yet. It was my birthday. I was finally going to come into my full powers as a shifter.I stopped and lay still, trying to see if I felt any different, but I couldn’t tell if something had changed.A soft knock on my door broke me from my thoughts. “Come in,” I called out, hoping it wasn’t Kendra.My dad opened the door and poked his head through. “You decent?”I laughed. “Yes, Dad. That’s why I said come in.”He smiled at me and said, “I’m glad to see you’re already up. Happy birthday, Del. When you’re ready, we have some things to give you in the kitchen.”“Okay, I’ll be right out.”He nodded and left, shutting my door behind him. I lay back on my bed, not ready to face them all, even if they wer

*Delilah*I woke up feeling like I’d barely slept at all the night before. Even after I’d managed to fall asleep, I didn’t sleep well. I tossed and turned and woke covered in sweat like every other day. I went through the normal routine of getting ready for the day and walked into the kitchen to grab something to eat on my way out the door. Dad was sitting at the table, finishing up his coffee before he left for the day. I didn’t say anything to him, grabbing a banana and a granola bar and heading for the door.“Have a good day,” he called after me.I shut the door behind me as a reply. I never had good days it seemed, but he was oblivious to that.I walked down the familiar path, eating as I went. I didn’t want to be back at the school, but hopefully, Kendra would leave me alone today since it wasn’t my birthday anymore. I walked out of the woods and up the path to the school. Tossing my banana peel in the trash with the granola wrapper, I pulled the door open. The po

*Delilah*Andrew.I couldn’t believe my mate was not only in my pack–but it was him. He was from a prominent family in the pack. His dad was Alpha and he was next in line, a strong shifter, and though he hadn’t looked out for me, he had never done anything to hurt me either.He carried me further into the forest to a small clearing made perfect by a bed of moss. He knelt down with me still around his waist and kissed me softly as he lowered me to the ground with care.His strong hands braced my back as it made contact with the ground, running them down my hands until he gripped my ass hard with both hands. I released my legs from his waist, and he helped me lower them as well.He broke the kiss softly and leaned back, taking his shirt off.I’d never been so close to a man this way in my life. I stared at him openly, taking in the sight with my mouth slightly hanging open.The right corner of his lip rose in a grin. “Do you like what you see?”I sat up and reached my

*Andrew*My eyes shot open. I looked around, shocked to find I was awake. The dream I’d just had was so intense. I knew it instantly for what it was.Delilah was laying on my chest still, sleeping soundly. I breathed deeply, inhaling her scent. She smelled like lavender and mint, and something that had to just be her. She smelled divine, and she looked even better.I looked down at her, unsure how I’d missed how beautiful she was before this.I slowly rolled her over, holding her for just a bit longer. “Delilah, wake up.”She stirred, and I thought I saw her eyes open. “I’m going to head home. Do you want me to walk you home?”“No, just go,” she said sleepily.“Okay,” I said, and I kissed her cheek softly before slipping away and grabbing my clothes silently. I walked a short distance away and threw them on before making my way back to the path. Just as I emerged I smelled her–Kendra.“Andrew, what are you doing out here?” she said as she approached.“I was w
