Amara’s POV

I struggled against the darkness that was weighing me down, clenching my fists and digging my nails into my palms. The delusion was powerful, seeking to convince me to give in by whispering falsehoods into my ears.

"You lack strength. You're by yourself.

"No one is coming for you."

I didn't believe it, though.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on my child, the one thing that Viktor was unable to take away from me.

A tiny, fragile memory came to mind.

Tiny fingers were clutching mine. A quiet laugh. The warmth of affection.

My eyes filled with tears. I refused to be overcome by this gloom. I had to struggle.

With his silver mist swirling about him, the enigmatic figure took a step closer. He spoke calmly yet firmly.

"Amara, Viktor is after more than just you. He desires to rule over every wolf group.

I gasped. "What?"

"He has been preparing for years," the presence added. Your pain is just a part of his scheme. He will take control of the whole werewolf realm if you don't s

  • BETRAYED BY THE MOON    Chapter 78 : The Shadow’s Warning

    Amara’s POVBy morning, the courtyard was scrubbed clean of ash.Not the smell, it lingered in the stones, in the wolves’ fur, in the air we breathed. But the bodies were gone, swept into pits outside the walls, burned before the sun rose. The flames had eaten the evidence, yet no fire could devour the memory of what we had seen.Or what they had seen in me.Everywhere I walked, the weight of their stares pressed against my back. Mothers pulled children aside as I passed. Warriors lowered their voices to whispers, their eyes flicking to my wrist. Reverence and suspicion had twined into something more dangerous than either alone.They weren’t asking if I would fight Lilith.They were asking if I already belonged to her.I kept my head high, but inside, my chest ached with every heartbeat. I wanted to scream at them, to demand they see me, not the shadows. But I couldn’t. Not yet.Mira found me near the outer wall, her blade strapped across her back, her hair pulled tight. She didn’t bo

  • BETRAYED BY THE MOON    Chapter 77 : After the Ashes

    Amara’s POVThe courtyard still reeked of rot and smoke.Ash clung to my skin, coating my lungs until every breath tasted like dust. Warriors moved in frantic bursts , dragging bodies, dousing the fires, checking the wounded , but their eyes never left me.Not one of them.They watched as though waiting for me to crumble. Or for the mark on my wrist to blaze again and turn against them.My shadows still lingered across the stones, twitching faintly, restless, reluctant to return to silence. I clenched my fists until my nails bit deep, forcing them back into the mark. It throbbed in protest, hungry, alive.“Amara.”Darius’s voice was low but carried across the yard. He strode toward me, blood streaking his arm, his jaw tight. Every wolf moved aside for him, but their stares didn’t shift from me.When he reached me, he caught my hand, not gently, not harshly, but firmly, as if reminding both of us I was still tethered to him, not the shadows.“Enough,” he said, though his voice cracked

  • BETRAYED BY THE MOON    Chapter 76: When the Dead Break Through

    Amara’s POVThe courtyard was a sea of faces.Warriors ringed the circle, their armor glinting in the gray light of dawn. Elders lined the raised platform, their expressions carved from stone. And in the center stood me ,bare-armed, unarmored, every whisper pressing against my back.The trial.I could feel their hunger for it, not the hunger for justice but for spectacle. For proof. Some wanted me to fall so their fears would be justified. Others wanted me to stand so they could cling to hope. But all of them stared as if my skin might peel back to reveal Lilith herself.Darius stood to my left, silent, his shoulders squared, his jaw locked. His presence steadied me even when his eyes betrayed the storm he fought to hide.“Begin,” Elder Hanor intoned, his staff striking the stones.A warrior stepped into the circle opposite me. Broad-shouldered, scarred, a man I had trained beside before mistrust poisoned his gaze. His knuckles whitened as he drew his blade, and though his eyes flicke

  • BETRAYED BY THE MOON    Chapter 75 : Ashes Between Us

    Amara’s POVThe courtyard still echoed with voices long after the council had dismissed us. I carried their stares with me, heavy as chains. Every whisper, every doubt had followed me out of the chamber and clung to my skin like smoke.I left the firelight behind, needing the cold. Beyond the walls, the forest crouched in silence, but the wind carried an acrid sting that did not belong to night. It was sharper, bitter. The smell of rot and fire ,the kind that clings to ruins after battle.I wrapped my arms around myself, though the air wasn’t cold enough to bite. The mark on my wrist throbbed in rhythm with the distant howls. They were not our wolves. The sound was jagged, broken, unnatural.The Forsaken.“They come for you, daughter.”Lilith’s whisper curled into my skull. I flinched, pressing a palm against my temple. She always knew when I was weakest ,when fear hollowed me out and left space for her voice to slip in.“You won’t have me,” I hissed under my breath.“You already belo

  • BETRAYED BY THE MOON    Chapter 74 : The Trial of Eyes

    Amara’s POVThe murmurs didn’t die when Darius’s voice did.They followed me through the courtyard, a tide of whispers swelling louder until the council bell tolled. The sound rang heavy through stone and air alike, summoning every elder, every commander, every wolf whose doubts had already been sharpened into knives.I hadn’t even washed the dirt of the forest from my skin before they dragged me into the chamber.This time, no incense. No prayers. Just fire burning in the braziers and the smell of smoke clinging to cloaks and fur. The room was full to bursting , not only the council but warriors and servants pressed against the walls, craning for a glimpse.They wanted a spectacle.Elder Hanor leaned forward on his staff, his face gaunt, his voice thin but sharp. “You left the walls again. Alone.”“I was not alone,” I said evenly.The ripple of shock was immediate. They knew who I meant without me speaking his name.A commander slammed his palm against the table. “The Forsaken!” His

  • BETRAYED BY THE MOON    Chapter 73: The Eyes That Follow

    Chapter 73 – The Eyes That FollowAmara’s POVThe stronghold gates loomed like stone jaws waiting to close on me. By the time I reached them, dawn had broken, staining the sky in bruised shades of violet and gold.The guards stiffened as I approached, their eyes flicking to the mark uncovered on my wrist. It pulsed faintly, steady and controlled, nothing like the wild blaze it had been before.But instead of reassurance, I saw only unease in their gazes.They let me pass without a word. Silence was sharper than steel.Inside the courtyard, the world was already awake. Warriors drilled in formation, steel ringing against steel. Yet as I walked through them, the rhythm faltered. Movements slowed. Eyes tracked me, not with open hostility, but with something worse , wariness.They sensed it. The difference.The shadows no longer trailed uncontrolled from my steps, yet the air still thickened around me, humming with power. My body felt heavier, stronger, as though the forest had stitched s
