All Chapters of The Luna's Rebirth (Awakening of the betrayed Omega): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I watched the Kyrexi fall, who never even stood a chance against the masses and ferocity of the werewolves with all their magical and technological power. I had watched the defeat and devastation of the Kyrexi-entire civilization in ruins.Arachne's voice cut through my visions, her eyes aglow with excitement. "You see, Derek," she said, "you are the last of the Kyrexi, the son of the ancient ones. And you have a destiny to fulfill."Confusion and agitation reeled inside of me. A Kyrexi? Me? I had lived my entire life as a werewolf, and now suddenly I was something completely different?Arachne's smile broadened. "The ancient ones were all-powerful, magical beings," she said. "They were known to be the race of beings that had with them the powers of controlling elements and wielding magic. They were the rulers of this land and the werewolves their servants."I listened with horror as Arachne kept telling me, "But soon, time after time, the werewolves took their being uncomfortable wit

The poor girl swallowed hard before continuing. "His friend mentioned that Arachne was a witch. I thought you should know, sir."I lifted one eyebrow, my interest piqued. "You're telling me this because?"The little maid ducked her head; her tone turned sheepish. "I just want to make sure our Alpha's in good hands, sir."I growled low in my throat as warning. I wasn't sure if the little maid was a spy for Derek or if she was really worried for the pack."Why did you decide to tell me?" I asked, my eyes boring into hers.The maid finally looked up, her eyes locking onto mine. And then, she did something that left me dumbfounded.She burst into tears; her small body shook with every labored breath. I watched her, taken aback by her sudden outburst. I hadn't expected her to break down like that."S-since -since he became Alpha." she stuttered out, her voice shaking in fear. "The pack -it's been falling apart. No one likes him -they're all afraid of him."I leaned forward, my expression s

I thought long and hard. I didn't come in contact with chestnuts today. Then I remembered something, that sneaky fogwart. I cursed inwardly, I should've given her a dirty slap but I was still confused, why chestnuts? I tied them all in a nylon, making sure to empty my pockets completely. I even put two small tangerines I saw on the table in my pockets to eradite the smell of chestnuts.I was going to show her what it meant crossing the path of someone who had faced death twice. As I got to the dining hall, I spotted her and rushed over pretending not to see her "Sorry, I was just in a hurry to find out what was happening."She sneered and rushed to Gina's side.Apparently, Gina couldn't breath. She looked bloated like a pufferfish but her face was covered with large red spots. The make up on her face made it less scary but I could still see them. Everyone was in a frenzy but soon the doctor had arrived, administering an injection that instinctively calmed her.It didn't take ten minut

The smile fell from the Alpha's face, replaced by a gaze of steel. "Then you will find yourself in a very unfortunate position. I don't like loose ends, Aurora."I swallowed hard. There was no way out of this, not right now. If I refused him outright, I wouldn't make it out of this room alive. But if I agreed, I would be walking a tightrope with no safety net. But what happened to the Cida that looked like he recognized me? I was so lost right now."I will need time to think over it," I finally said confidently, though fear was gnawing at my insides.The Alpha nodded with a tinge of satisfaction in his eyes. "Fair enough. But don't take too long. Time is a luxury you can't afford."He waved his hand, dismissing me, and I wasted no time leaving his chambers. Out of sight, I leaned against the wall and took some deep breaths, willing my heart rate to settle. My mind struggled for any way out of the mess that had just got worse.I couldn't trust Cida outright, nor refuse him outright eit

As I stared into her eyes, I felt some form of familiarity. Not because I had met her once but because I had seen her many times. The- the woman in my dreams!"You're the woman in the garden.. you-""The truth is within you," she said suddenly cutting me off. "But first, you must face the lies you have been fed. The Alpha's plans, the Luna's constant criticism-they are but pieces of a puzzle. To see the whole picture, you must step outside the frame."I knew she was right, even as her words spun my head. I couldn't continue to react to the moves others made; I had to make my own.As I left the chamber, a sense of resolve fell into place. Tomorrow, I would begin to amass information-real information. I needed to know who was playing what game and how I might be able to tilt the odds in my favor.But as I reached my quarters, a chilling thought struck me: the only way to find out the truth could very well be to become the thing I feared the most.A spy.The moment I closed my door, ther
