All Chapters of Moon Fire Reborn : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

SELENA’S POVI knew she was up to something the second I set my eyes on her.No one with hair that shiny and eyes that innocent could be real—not in this world, not in this pack, and definitely not standing that close to my mate like she belonged there.“Selena, stop staring.” Celestia hisses sharply, her voice ringing my head annoyingly,like she was already tired of me when we had barely made it past breakfast.“I’m not staring,” I muttered, which was a lie, obviously. “I’m…analyzing.”“Analyzing what? The way she’s breathing? The way Kai hasn’t even noticed you’re glaring literal daggers at her back?”I ignored her. Mostly because she was right, but also because Sedna—yes, Sedna, as in some ancient snake-goddess name straight out of a horror movie—was still talking to Kai, and he was still smiling at her like she didn’t make my skin crawl.“She’s suspicious,” I said under my breath, the word curling off my tongue like poison. “She shouldn’t even be here, she should be in her pack.”

KAI’S POVThe second he opened his filthy mouth to speak gibberish, I should have punched him. No, seriously. If there was ever a time to throw fists instead of words, it was now. Because standing in the middle of the training field, surrounded by the rest of my pack—emphasis on my pack—and hearing Jared sneer, “Maybe Selena needs a real mate,” made my fingers fold into a ball and my wolf snapped his teeth like he was seconds away from taking over.But I didn’t punch him despite the need to. It wasn't the right time yet.Because as much as I wanted to wipe that irritating smug look off his ugly face, I needed to keep my head clear. I was the Alpha. I had a war to prepare for. I couldn’t afford to lose control now, not when my pack was already looking at me like I had lost it.“Say that again,” I said in a low voice that sharpened every hearing sense.But Jared didn’t flinch. Of course, he didn’t. He was bigger than most of the pack youths, older than most of the soldiers, the command

KAI’S POVSelena was missing.Not just the “gone for a walk” type of missing. Not even the “taking some time off to cool down” type of missing. No, I meant she had been missing for three days now—three freaking days—and every second of searching for her felt like someone was slowly twisting a knife into my stomach.Even my wolf, Nyx, wasn’t handling it well either. And the was past of it all was that, we only had one more night to the full moon? How could a battle commence without the reason for the war in the first place be present?“She’s dead,” he growled in my head for the hundredth time today as I pushed my way through some underbrush in the woods, branches snapping under my boots in the process. “I can feel it.”“She’s not dead,” I snapped back, not wanting to believe his words.“You don’t know that.”“You don’t know that either!”His grumble echoed in my chest, vibrating through my ribs. Nyx wasn’t usually this dramatic or emotional, but there was always something about Selena

ELARA’S POVI didn’t know which one was more ridiculous. Was it the fact that Seraphina actually thought she could deceive me, or the fact that she failed so miserably in front of me.Like, really? Was this how powerless we were becoming? or how low we were going?Seraphina was supposed to be my winning card during battle, my secret weapon to ruin Kai’s pack from the inside before the war, but instead, my snake puppet had messed it all up. Useless!I could feel that familiar irritation biting against the insides of my skin, and crawling up my spine as I watched her stammer like some terrified little rodent. Her failure was practically screaming at me, and I had no patience for it.Seraphina was sitting just an arm's length away from me, muttering all sorts of messy excuses as she tried to justify her existence. But none of it made sense. None of her excuses mattered. She had one job—one freaking job! Wreck Kai’s pack from the inside. And what did she do? She couldn’t even seduce hi

SELENA’S POVHave you ever gotten that sickening kind of feeling where you think the universe was playing some sick joke on you? Like, the kind of tiring feeling that no matter how hard you fought, something, or perhaps someone, would always be there to knock you back down? Yeah, exactly. That was how I felt when I woke up this morning.Except in the real sense, it wasn’t just the universe playing games with you, It was the freaking Moon Goddess herself.“So she planned it all?” Celestia asked, hissed inside me before I could even respond. “The betrayal. The heartbreak. All of it. So she had set us up to bleed, just to see if we would rise?”I clenched my fists so tight that my claws dug into my palms, sharp enough to make me bleed. Very well. I needed the sting. I needed the anger. I needed anything to distract the sick feeling crawling under my skin.“She wanted us to suffer,” I muttered, pacing back and forth across the training grounds that I somehow found myself in. The spars
