All Chapters of The Ex-Luna's Revenge: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

/-Alora-/ Victor's words rang in my head like a bell that warned of death. It was hard to breathe because the air was so thick. The heart was beating loudly, drowning everything else, even the quiet, in its loud trumpeting—except those four words: He'll kill them.Randall's face darkened totally, and his hands were bunched at his sides. I could almost feel how mad he was; it was like a storm that was about to happen. But the feeling that stood out the most was fear. It's not often that Randall gets scared, but this scared him.“I’m not making any deals with Tyrone,” Randall said furiously, his voice quiet and serious. “If he thinks he can force us, he will be very surprised.”Victor leaned against the wall and smiled as if he was sure of himself. He pretended like this was going to be the longest wait of his life. "Randall, you can act tough, but we both know what's at stake." Tyrone has nothing to lose. He will ruin your pack if you don't help. Every one of them."My heart churned.

/-Alora-/The shockwave landed hard, quaking my bones. I swayed, squinting my eyes against the bright light that enveloped the battlefield. For that instant, everything was still while the chaos inside my head turned down the loud sounds of the fight. My wolf growled uneasily, willing and ready to launch an attack on whatever this was; I just could not clear my head.I could hardly stand.As the light vanished, it left in the air a shiny mist; my heart sank. Right in the middle of that battlefield, a huge crack appeared, dark and scary. It was as if reality tore it open, showing something different behind a world I couldn't fully understand."Alora!" Randall's voice cut through the muddle in my head.I turned to him. Still standing upright, he was covered in blood, his eyes wide with fear as shock and anger froze upon his face. "What is that?" he shouted, pointing at the rift."I don't know," I said, my voice hoarse. "But I just don't think we're ready for it."He laughed loudly fro

/-Alora-/Lucien spoke harsh words to the camp and hearing his voice twist the word cut through my guts like a knife. “You’ve lost.” The words he said sank deep in my ears, each word more painful than the prick of any knife. How could he say that? After everything?I clenched my hand around the air in front of me, and I felt the beat of the rip beneath me. The energy was wild, like the electric current kept reeled up, ready to leave. But there was something else, something in the way he stood there, too calm, too confident, that struck her as odd. This man already appeared to understand something I had yet to find.I noticed this and tried to breathe deeply to calm myself. Focus, Alora. Sometimes, I could feel my wolf—that animalistic urge that had always been a part of me but had always been so well hidden. But there was something else now—something more. One—a link that is strong and unbreakable—to the split itself. And that, I understood, I could shut it, to pull the plug on wh

/-Alora-/The moon hung high in the forest, above the trees and Randall's and my head. It gave off a pale glow. The air around me was tense, and the sound of the wind whistling through the branches made my heart beat faster. My heart was beating fast because of Tyrone, the choices I had, or maybe the truth that was slowly killing me.Randall was sitting next to me, but I could feel him a million miles away. I could feel how hot he was and how stiff his shoulders were, but his eyes were closed and looked like they were looking far away. When Tyrone's shadow showed up, it seemed like the connection we had made with him at the start of our meeting was instantly broken.I went over to tell him and asked him what he thought he was doing, but the words didn't make sense to me. I couldn't ask him to reassure me when I was completely lost in thought. When could I trust him when just being around him every day was a scandal that reminded me of how long I've been caught in a web of lies?Si

/-Alora-/It was clear that the atmosphere was tense: you could have heard a pin drop if the silence was any thicker. With each action, I seemed to be in a more profound state of drudge, as if the new claim of lineage, the understanding of what my father is and what he wants for me, had grounded me to the earth. My head was spinning with everything I had just learned, from the family to the power, the secrets that had been never spoken of for so long. But none of it seemed to matter as what was coming loomed. My father’s return helped me join a past I was unprepared for, but it is too late to leave now.The only thing and the person who kept me calm all the time was Randall beside me. He had his left hand on the grip of his sword though he kept his gaze on the trees surrounding us seemingly expecting an enemy attack at any time. I still felt that I knew a storm was brewing somewhere, something that would force me to take a choice I would not want to take.We moved further and dee
