Lahat ng Kabanata ng I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

Damian's POVI stared at him. Stared at my friend, and for a moment, memories of our time in the Rogue kingdom resurfaces. The times we used to hunt together, the times we used to train together and those times where we got into the same academy. Everything was going well until I remembered how manipulative he and his father had handled the relics situation.That single act traumatized me for years. For years I felt like I was cursed, felt like I would bring destruction to the people around me. It was only with the help of Lyra that I was able to regain my self confidence.And since then, I have grown careful of him and his father. Till date, they didn't know I knew the truth about the relics and they often wonder how I changed so much, not knowing that they changed me.“That’s what I’m trying to find out. Because the investigation on Ethan's corpse showed that he was hit with a silver bullet and his wound was infected because it wasn't treated. You can see that it sounds like you ha

Damian's POV“I did what I had to do,” he said with zero remorse. “To protect the kingdom. To keep the power from falling into the wrong hands. If I had told them that it was Kael who destroyed it, do you know what would have gone wrong? The kingdom would have fallen apart."“No,” I said through clenched teeth. “You did it to manipulate me. To make sure I was always in your debt. Always loyal. Always scared.”It was silent. He knew I was right. He has done it to have me wrapped under his fingers. To make sure to always stay in control of me.He folded his arms. “And yet you turned out exactly the way I needed you to.”The audacity of his words hit me like a slap. He didn't regret it. He didn't care about me at all and I wondered why I hadn't seen that all these years even before I found out about his manipulation."You don't care about me, Alaric," I said, my voice low and filled with disappointment. "Then why? ...... Why do you save me? Why did you take me in? Why did you have to go

Author's POVHis blood boiled over. But still he said nothing. He knew if he opened his mouth, he might do or say something he'd live to regret forever.Instead, he turned and walked away. Out into the grand courtyard, where the people were still gathered, curious and anxious about the Rogue King’s visit.Damian masked his expression into a neural one, his voice was steady as he faced them. “The Rogue King came to discuss a potential alliance between our kingdoms,” he lied smoothly. “A future of unity and strength.”His words made no sense. It had never happened before. Alliance? Of what use or benefit would that bring to the kingdom? And since when did the Rogues become that decent to want peace? But they did believe him anyway. They still trusted in his judgement even though everything with Elara had made them once doubted him in the past.There were murmurs, heads nodding, faces covered with confusion.“Did you accept, Alpha?” Elder Scrolls asked, his expression unreadable.Damian

Author's POVThe night was long and tormenting for Damian as he couldn't sleep. He kept tossing from one end of the bed to another, his mind reeling with strategic plans that could be used to justify Kael's release. And the disappointment of Elara and the pack members.Finally,when morning came, Damian summoned another trusted guard, Erik, and handed him a sealed envelope.“I want you to create evidence — letters, records, anything — that shows Kael was innocent,” he said, eyes hard.Erik’s eyes widened. “Alpha… why would.......?”“Because I said so,” Damian growled in irritation. Everyone now questions his rule, huh? “And no one else must know. Do it quietly. Fast. And make sure it’s convincing.”Erik sensing his mood, gave a reluctant nod, then retreated outside.After he left, he heaved a sigh of relief, hoping that everything went as planned. He walked towards the mini bar and poured himself a glass of alcoholic wine. He threw down a glass. Another glass and another glass, until h

Elara’s POV After leaving the palace yesterday, I had gone to a nearby hotel in the kingdom to spend the night. I couldn't afford to stay in the mansion nor the palace. The place was already suffocating enough and now that I knew that Ethan's corpse was somewhere in one of the rooms, I couldn't afford to spend additional minute there. The night was long and brutal, more than any other nights in my entire life. I couldn't sleep. Anytime I closed my eyes, I feel like someone, Ethan was inside the room with me. His deep blue eyes were staring at me fondly like he was still alive. Like he was still here. But anytime I opened my eyes, there was no one in the room, just thick darkness. All I did was toss from one end of the bed to the other. I stood up and cried at a point until I felt my tears dried up. I paced around the room a few times too until it was morning. When morning came, I made a decision to stay strong. Ethan was already gone and the next thing to do was to get justice fo
