All Chapters of The Forsaken Luna’s Revenge : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Nyla’s POVThere was silence on the battlefield. Like a storm about to erupt, my power crackled as it raced through the atmosphere. The wolves around me shifted uncomfortably, dread and wonder in their eyes. A few of them bent their heads in submission and knelt. Others paused, burying their paws into the bloody ground as they resisted the unknown.Then the silence was broken by a voice."I'm not going to bow to her."I turned to look into Logan's (Killian's Beta) icy, defiant eyes. He took a step forward, breathing deeply and angrily as his chest rose and fell. His posture was stiff, his muscles taut, prepared for combat.Damon scowled and stepped next to me, saying, "You will bow." "Or she'll crush you under her weight."With his look flitting to Killian, Logan spat out, "I follow an Alpha, not a monster." "Killian, tell me you see it. Tell me you won't just watch her take all we've worked so hard to build.When he said it, my gut knotted. A monster. Did they witness that? After all

Nyla’s POVThe chilly night air brushed over my skin as I sat by myself in the thick forest, knees drawn to my chest. Everything was bathed in a gentle silver radiance from the full moon overhead. I ought to have felt calm. But the only thing I could feel was the weight of fear.Not my phobia. Theirs.Logan, the pack, and even Killian had it in their eyes, and I could see it.They feared me.I balled my fists up. Was I turning into just what they were afraid of? I kept thinking about what Damon had said. A queen is nothing without her pack.I tried to block it all out by tightly closing my eyes. The conflict, my tantrum, and how Killian had to restrain me before I lost all self-control.Was I becoming someone else?Behind me, footsteps rustled. I didn't look around. I recognized the person already.Killian.At first, he remained silent. He just sat quietly next to me and observed the night. He was solid and friendly. The only thing in the jumble of my mind that felt real.I said, "You

Nyla’s POVValric's weighty words were carried like a curse by the howling wind through the old ruins. I felt the weird energy still flowing through me, so I tightened my fists. I was unprepared for this, and my breath came quickly.Valric's bright eyes shone in the gloom as he stood upright. "A force that can either save or destroy us all has been awakened by you." Despite the calmness of his voice, there was an indisputable weight to each phrase. "You will be the end of all werewolves if you can't control it."With a dry throat, I swallowed hard. Doom? Me?Killian moved to stand next to me, his presence steady and reassuring. "She poses no threat," he snarled. "She is gaining knowledge."Valric's head cocked slightly. "Learning?" He gave a little laugh. "Have you noticed what transpired back there? In a single outburst, she almost destroyed the entire country. His eyes strayed to me. That gave you a taste of what's inside. If you are unable to master it— He stopped and moved in clos

Nyla’s POVAlthough there were storm clouds in the sky, the actual storm was on the battlefield. The air was filled with roars, growls, and the clash of steel. There was a strong smell of blood that blended with the smoldering smell of the war-torn communities.With my warriors standing behind me, their eyes blazing with resolve, I stood at the forefront of Silver Dawn.The mercenaries, traitors, and rogues who had pledged allegiance to Damon's army were arranged in formation across from us. Damon himself stood tall in the middle, a sly smile on his lips."This is your last chance, Nyla," he yelled. "Surrender now, and I might show mercy."I took a step forward and spoke steadily. "You don’t know the meaning of mercy."His smile got bigger. "Then let’s end this."The atmosphere stiffened.Then, anarchy broke out.Wolves moved, charging into combat. Swords clashed. Flesh was torn apart by teeth. Warriors clashed in a flurry of fur and steel, causing the ground to tremble.I sped across

Nyla’s POVThe voice of the beast slithered in my head. You can't prevail. If you give in, I'll spare them.I trembled all over, clenching my hands. Before me, a soaring shadow of devastation, Fenris loomed. The air pressed like a cage against my flesh, crackling with dark electricity.I snarled, tensing my knees to remain upright, "I am not afraid of you."A rumbling of deep laughter came from Fenris. You ought to be.Its ancient, weighty strength swirled around me. It was alluring. I could be stronger than ever if I gave up and let Fenris take over.However, I was aware that I would no longer be myself.I was knocked backward by a strong gust of wind and barely managed to catch myself before colliding with the ground. As Fenris moved forward, its red eyes glimmering with hunger, my heart raced."You expect me to simply bow down to you?" I wiped blood off my lip and spat. "All you are is a monster."With its enormous claws biting into the ground, Fenris snarled. Then pass away as an
