All Chapters of Moonlit Betrayals: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

LyraWe are woken in the early hours of the morning and I can’t help but giggle when the ladies basically chase Silas out of his own room. His very masculine room is turned into a beauty salon within minutes and our day starts with snacks and champagne.I get apple juice and a lot of reprimanding for not telling them sooner. While my hair and make-up are being done, the ladies start planning what they call the next big event for the pack. My baby shower. I take a moment to just watch them, and it is such a long way away from the life I had with Eli.Every now and again, one of them disappears and when they return, we are all informed of who has arrived. Our guests have a special floor and the ladies want to make sure that everyone is happy and taken care of before the event this afternoon.Time really flies and before long, I’m being helped into my dress. There are “oohs” and “aahs” and then the time has come for me to make my walk down the aisle. I watch as all of them rush out to ta

LyraI can feel Silas’s fury and I instantly know who is causing it. Getting out of bed, I feel some pain, but not much. I tuck my son closely to my chest and make my way in the direction that my body leads me. Dressed in only a gown.All eyes turn to me the moment I come closer, and I can see Silas panic, but I keep going. I come to a standstill beside Silas, and he pulls me under his arm. The warriors want to circle around us and I stop them.“What do you want, Eli?” I growl. I know I probably shouldn’t have done this, but I want him gone. I want him out of our lives for good. My instincts told me he wants to see the baby for himself. His eyes scan the boy and then Silas and his face becomes bright red.There is nothing more to say. It’s not his son. There is nothing for him to claim. He already knew about my one-night with Silas. Eli whips around and storms off, shifting halfway, and I smile at Silas.“I have never met a female that can silence a male like that before.” Silas laugh

LyraHelena and I spend three days sorting out the boxes filled with books and as we stand there proud of our handy work, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Not that we’ve accomplished something huge, but we did turn an old storeroom into a small library.We each grab a book and find a seat and I immediately get to work. Sadly, life intervenes and I have to rush off to sort out a problem between two omegas. I have just returned and started reading when Hunter starts to cry, and I have to take care of him.I try my best to stay calm, but life as a mother and luna is more demanding than I realized it would be. I remind myself that I just have to adapt and that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Taking a deep breath, I focus on my baby while he feeds.Once he is settled back in bed, I make my way downstairs and I run into Silas, who isn’t looking happy.“What’s wrong?” I stroke the side of his cheek, and he leans into my touch. Taking a deep breath, before he kisses my palm, and it sends shivers

Lyra“Mistress Fiona will be with you shortly.” I only notice the young man’s pointy ears when we sit down at the table that he shows us. Silas nods and a young woman puts two drinks on our table.“What is this place?” I whisper as soon as we seem to be alone and Silas laughs.“It’s the sanctuary. It’s a gathering place for supernatural creatures to discuss important things as well as a place to hide from humans. Here they can just be in their natural state without having to use spells to hide who they are, and I suspect this is where Eli got his information.” Silas sits back and looks far too relaxed for my liking.“How long has this been here?” I frown, trying not to gawk, but it’s nearly impossible. Every creature I believed didn’t exist is walking around clear as damn day!“Centuries. Lyra, you have to understand that we’ve been here all this time. You grew up in the human world where they tell you that monsters aren’t real, and that is what we want humans to believe for our safet

Lyra“What are you saying?” Silas looks worried.“I’m saying it’s time we draw our enemies out into the open.” I turn to look at him. “If I have to wait for them to attack for one more second, I’m going to go out of my mind. If we draw them out, we can set the terms. We set the stage.” He starts to shake his head.“No. I’m not going to put you in that kind of danger. There are just too many risks. Too many things that could go wrong.” He shakes his head and closes the gap between us. His hands on the sides of my arms normally calm me, but not this time.“Fine. If you won’t do it, I will do it on my own.” I growl softly, and I can see the pain in his eyes. We go to bed with things still unsettled between us. I don’t know how I’m going to do this, but I know I’ve had enough.I’ve been hiding since the day I was born. I might have known that I was at one point, but now I do, and I’m done. In the morning, I start working on a plan. Silas is out all morning and I have enough time to figure
