Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 11 : YOU ARE SUCH A TERRIBLE LIAR, MIRA.
“You howl beautifully, Mira.” He said while coming towards me and I lowered my gaze shyly. “Thank you.” I blushed.“Alright.” Cara cleared her throat, interrupting the building chemistry between us.“I’ll be on my way now, catch you two later.” She winked and I more than anything wanted to protest and swear on my mother’s grave that there’s nothing going between us let alone be couples but she trotted away before I had the chance to speak.We watched her brown wolf disappear into the woods Luca emerged from.I sighed and looked at the moon, our attention fell on each other again after she went out of sight.“Didn’t know you could howl so well.” Luca said circling me.I exhaled sharply. “I too was surprised at how good I howled.” I shrugged. “I guess they are things I’m still discovering about me.” “You’re indeed a book worth a read.” He commented. “So what brought you out here?” he asked. “Nothing… just wanted to be a lone wolf for a while, playing with my thoughts but Cara didn’t

“And so when everything was calmer, my mom and I scavenged through the forest helplessly until we found this village. It became our home.” He narrated.“We were happy to see people like us here.” He exhaled sharply. “Apparently most of them shared the same fate, casted away, rejected, unwanted folks and no matter our differences. We have learnt to stay in unity and peace for as long as I can remember.” He narrated.Tears gathered in my eyes and I felt their pain. Imagine if I didn’t have anywhere else to go or if he hadn’t rescued me from Thane’s men. What would have been my fate?Perhaps, one day I will read about the founders of this village or probably I could get someone to tell me about its history and then I would write it down in a book so everyone else who comes into this village would know how it became and appreciate those who had come together to make sure the outcasts have a place in the world.“Sorry about that, Luca. You and your mother have been through so much together

I couldn’t help the laughter that erupted through my lungs but I had to look ahead and focus on the race before me.I did my best to out run him but he still had a way to catch up with me. He slowed down and was now running at my own speed.“Who’s about to be the loser now, aye?” he raised a brow and sneered at me.I panted heavily, trying to catch my breath but I didn’t stop running. I laughed and shook my head, he wasn’t even putting half the effort I was putting in this race.For a kiss? That’s not gonna hurt, is it?It’s nothing, it's just a kiss. You can totally rest and catch your breath.Thoughts of giving up to catch my breath were more spontaneous than the thought of winning.“No!” I shook it off. “I won’t give up!” I muttered, building up courage, I increased my strides and fudged ahead.He was surprised at my sudden zeal and determination as I went five times more than my current speed. It so amazed him that he trotted behind while he watched me girdle up ahead.I only stop

Where exactly in Thane’s pack was this seal?My mind started searching every nook and cranny of the library wondering if I had mistakenly seen it around and then I recalled vividly.In the midst of the growing love between Thane and I, he had shown me something. Something he claimed was a heritage to his pack and had been kept safe since they had possession of it.Silence cut through like a sword. “Its okay!” Della sighed, her words cutting through my thoughts. She got on her feet. “Since you’re one of us now,” She started. “You will have to undergo training in order to be able to survive here and protect our village against intruders.” She announced.She turned to leave but suddenly halted and turned to me. “Perhaps you could learn to fight like a warrior or learn to wield your powers.” She ended and continued walking towards her bedroom.I and Luca exchanged glances but didn’t say a word. Luca left the room, and now it was just I and Cara left.She too left eventually and I was b

“So you think people who would hurt you would heal you of your wounds?” I questioned.He looked at himself that moment and oddly remembered that all his injuries were gone and scar free.“I didn’t check anything. All I wanted to do was get to safety.” He replied. His words seemed honest but I wouldn’t know for sure.My eyes squinted as I looked at him intently. There was something off about him—something familiar.“What’s your name?” I tried again, this time more friendlier.The man hesitated at first, then he gulped and exhaled. “Nathan.” He answered.“Alright, Nathan.” Luca took over. “Why were you sneaking off in the middle of the night? If you wanted to know where you were, you would have waited until morning to talk to someone.” He questioned.Nathan hesitated again, his eyes landing on me for a brief moment before looking away. “Because I don’t trust any of you.” He replied.Luca scoffed. “You don’t trust us? Even after we found you wounded in the woods, brought you here and tre

Nathan clenched his jaw as his eyes darted between Della and the rest of us. He inhaled deeply before answering, his voice clothed with frustration. "I woke up in an unfamiliar place, okay? I didn’t know what to do, I didn't know if I was safe or not. So yes, I tried to leave.""You tried to leave.” Luca scoffed, shaking his head.Nathan shrugged despite his bounds.Della examined him for a long while, her countenance was blank and unreadable. Then, she sighed sharply and turned to me. "Mira, you seemed interested in what he had to say. What was he telling you?"I hesitated. How could I explain it? How could I explain that the moment he said he knew my parents, a storm was stirred inside me? That for the first time in a long time, I felt like I was on the verge of understanding who I was."He told me he knew my parents," I admitted, my voice almost a whisper.Della’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she remained composed. "And you believed him?"Luca scoffed. "Of course, she shouldn’t, th

Nathan sat speechlessly, staring at Cara as though she had placed him in a tight spot.“What?” Luca cut in. “Cat got your tongue?” Nathan sighed and readjusted himself in his seat. “After the fall of Ethan's pack.” He began. “I ran away for safety and joined a new pack but it was difficult to fit in. I disguised myself into a lot of things in order to make a name for myself but each one I ventured into was horrible, I had difficulty gaining acceptance.” He said.“That doesn’t answer our question!” Cara interrupted.“I stole something valuable, okay?” he half yelled then regained his composure, he exhaled deeply and continued. “I’m sorry.” He apologized.“Go on.” Della said, not feeling offended by his outrageousness, after all his apology was nothing compared to the information she was about to get from him.“I took something valuable, I saw something I shouldn’t have seen too so they came for my head.” He replied. “… but I wasn’t lucky enough to escape. I was betrayed and they disco

He chuckled at first. “If there’s anything I don’t do, it’s lie.” He said leaning on the threshold.“I could say half truths or conceal the truth but I would never lie. Why would I?” he spread his arms.I murmured inaudibly. I wasn’t sure if to ask him this, but perhaps I should and get it off my chest.“So was my mother from this village?” I spoke.“That, I do not know.” He replied genuinely.“ I only know about her marriage to Alpha Ethan and her duties to the pack. I don’t know anything else before that.” He replied and I could sense honesty in his voice.“It’s okay.” I nodded. “Have a goodnight then.” I said moving away from him.“Thank you.” He smiled and got into his room, closing the door behind him.On my way to my room, I saw those same familiar red dazzling eyes looming in the dark. “Oh my gosh!” I screamed in fear immediately it lunged at me but my fear subsided the moment I realized it was Luca, a faint moonlight shone on his face. I held my chest and tried to control my

Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 52: MOMENTARY AFFECTION
“Let me see your wounds,” I said, reaching for the towel on a flab beside the tub and a small jar of healing herbal ointment I found there as well, he must've kept them there to use them on himself. He lifted his arm first—scratches, a gash on his side, purple bruises forming along his ribs and collarbone. I bit the inside of my cheek as I gently dabbed at the injuries, cleaning them with care.Then his back.“You know,” I said quietly, focusing on the gash near his shoulder blade, “you didn’t have to fight him because of me. I was already going to stop talking to him. Besides…we are just friends. I bet he fought you to spur you.” I didn't know when I chuckled to myself.A spark of frustration flickered in his tired blue eyes as he turned his head to look at me.“You don’t see what I see, Mira,” he said in a hush whisper. “He was slowly winning your heart. I couldn’t just wait around and watch that happen.”I sighed, pausing for a second before resuming with the ointment. “No. But y
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 51 : MIXED FEELINGS!
She said the words I so much dreaded, and my heart stopped."Luca and Nathan are fighting over you!” She blurted out.“What?” I half yelled in surprise. “Why?” I asked.She shrugged, “I don’t know—I bet over who should be your mate!” She replied.“Oh my god!” I exclaimed, feeling so ashamed on their behalf. I lunged myself into any outfit I saw. “Where?” I asked, ready to go.“By the clearing, hurry!” she yelled, snapping her fingers at me and I jumped into a coat and a boot and headed out with her dragging me along.“Calm down, Cara.” I begged but she heard none of it.We pushed through a crowd of ready watchers and my eyes dilated when I saw them, my jaw dropped and I could only use my hands to cover them.“Stoppppp!” I yelled. My voice thundering across the clearing like a wounded kitten. Snow flurried around me, my eyes glowing with disappointment and shame.The air crackled, they both turned to me. Neither of them moved for a moment. Then—slowly, their hands dropped away from e
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 50 : THE LONG EXPECTED BATTLE.
I looked away and exhaled softly, "Doesn't matter what I want, I just want peace. I don't want any trouble.” I spoke, putting myself in an innocent position. I was indeed innocent, I didn’t have to be dragged into their boyish fight.“Okay.” he nodded slowly and turned to go.I stood still, winter chills brushing over my skin, my chest began to tighten with unspoken words. “Nathan…” warm air escaped my lips.I could tell he was hurt, by me? Or Luca’s new orders.I was the only person he was close to since being brought here and even I was pushing him away now.He didn’t look back. He just walked into the midst of the field and kept going, his shoulders a little hunched, like he was carrying a heavy load .Where was he going?I had no ideaBut the way he moved—the way he didn’t even glance back at me—told me he wasn’t okay. He was deeply hurt.Probably he would confront Luca.Or maybe… something else was stirring inside him.*NARRATOR The sky burned orange against a steel-gray horiz
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 49 :FOLLOW THE ARMY!
Thane sat quietly in his room—speaking was something he could no longer do anyways.He sat still, unable to believe that his own people could turn on him. The council members, his father. No one cared to look his way or believe him. None of them read the signs he was trying to pass, signaling them that all was not well.Marrying Alexa had become a very expensive mistake. Sadly, he was only beginning to realize this. She was turning his own people against him in order to ride on—undisputed with whatever agenda she had in mind.His amber eyes glowed faintly in the dark, his mouth magically sealed by Alexa, punishment for trying to defy her.He wasn't the same again, well... not after seeing her consume all those people's energies from their core and render them as good as lifeless.She could seal his lips and they could take away his powers and position but he wasn't completely powerless. He wasn’t going to sit here doing nothing. His wolf was awake.He glanced upwards towards the glass
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 48 :TRAPPED!
“Is this true?” The Head of the council asked, leaning forward, his voice was livid and strict.Thane could only shake his head, his lips open but no words were coming forth, his eyes begging for mercy. “Thane, speak!” the head exclaimed, loosing his cool over Thane's childish character.Thane's fist clenched and his jaw tightened, his face reddening when the pressure became unbearable and worse of all—they didn't see him suffering. They didn't see what she was doing to him, to them. And those that knew, the guards… she had them all wrapped under her fingers like a thread. Now she was here making him look like a fool in front of all of the council members and the people! Couldn’t they tell? Had he ever behaved this way before?She was playing all of them like a pack of cards!All heads turned to the dark haired man. His fists clenched violently on the table.Inside, Thane burned with fury.He wanted to scream no! To tell them Alexa was twisting everything. But she had him trapped.
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 47 : THE STORY CONTINUED.
“Ethan held her hands, then engulfed her in a warm hug. No anger. No blame. He just held her.Awwwwwn. I wish for a life as theirs. I couldn't hold back a giggle.‘“Let’s figure this out together.’ He whispered. She slowly broke free from his embrace and stared up at his face. Her eyes locked in his as if she was looking for answers there. ‘I don’t care how long it takes. Just don’t run away from me again.’ he said, his voice warm and soothing. He wrapped his arms around her and engulfed her in his arms again.”I blinked repeatedly, trying to keep my tears at bay and emotions in check.“From that day,” Della said softly, “They started again. And soon not as mates. Not only as Luna and Alpha. But as two people… who chose to try. And love bloomed the way... it always does—in quiet moments, in laughter, in the way they protected each other when no one else would.” She smiled at the memory.She allowed silence to sit with us for a while, then added, “They were far from perfect, but they w
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 46 : WE ARE JUST FRIENDS!
I wanted to scream the words in his face, wondering if that would make a difference.But I didn't!I bit my lower lip, trying to hold in the guilt that was creeping into my chest.“I trust you, Mira,” he continued. “Not just as a guardian of the seal but as… someone I thought I could be real with. But every time I see you with him, it’s like he's slowly taking my place and I don’t matter to you anymore.” His words pierced my heart like a sword, sharp and deep, tears pricked the corners of my eyes. “Luca, that’s not true. You mean something to me. I just… I’m confused. There’s so much happening, and—”“No.” He started walking backwards, hands raised slightly like he couldn’t take any more of my words. “I don’t want to be an option, Mira. I won’t stand in the shadows while you run back and forth between us.”A heavy pause settled.He turned his gaze toward the woods. “If you’re going to keep seeing him… then don’t come to me anymore.”My heart stilled.“Luca—”“I mean it,” he said, voi
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 45 : WAS IT THAT OBVIOUS?
Cara smiled—a knowing smile, one that didn't reach her eyes. “I didn’t have to find out, I know,” She smiled, but her face was still straight. “Luca keeps watch over the village most of the night." She said softly."Oh!" I pinched myself. "I did not know." I muttered. "I get it, that's why he is so pissed at me.""Yeah but also, you... I feel your energy’s been… mixed lately." She sighed."What do you mean?" I asked with furrowed brows."You're carrying pieces of someone else's emotions, Mira. Someone who shouldn't be that close to you.”I wore a frown, confused. “What are you talking about?”She edged closer, her eyes narrowed slightly as if she was trying to see beyond me. “You’re being pulled in too many directions, Mira. The seal... the dreams... Nathan… and now Luca. It’s unraveling something inside you. Can’t you feel it?”I gulped hard, lowering my gaze. “I don’t know what I feel.” I muttered. "I just know sometimes I feel restless and can't sleep at night or when I do, I ge
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 44 : MIRA'S POV MY SOLITUDE WAS FILLED WITH WONDERING.
Who could the man in my dreams be? The Rogue Alpha? The nine elders? Why would he appear to me? Or they?The fire, the seal, the sword—everything seemed tangled. And it all led to the same root. The Aurora’s Seal. The one I had seen in the man’s hand, and now, the very sword Luca wielded too.I closed my eyes, rubbing my arms as the night wind brushed past my skin.A twig snapped behind me.I turned quickly, my body on edge—but I relaxed the moment I saw him.“Nathan?” I sighed, surprised.He walked up to me, his hands tucked into the pockets of his coat, his eyes possibly wondering why I'm out here. Why was he out here?“You’re out here again tonight?” he asked, a quiet concern in his voice.I dropped my gaze, ashamed at how predictable this had become. “Yes… again.”He gave a short sigh and stepped closer. “You haven't been sleeping well for the past few days, Mira. You need rest.”“I know,” I said, more bitterly than I intended. “But I can't help it.”He watched me. "Why? What's t
