The fire crackled in the hearth of Alexa’s room, throwing soft gold over polished obsidian. She stood at the window in a robe of violet and black, sipping wine made from crushed nightshade berries and something far more expensive—hope.

Thane stood stiffly behind her, silent, still under the binding curse, mouth sealed by invisible chains. The moment he’d defied her, she’d twisted the spell tighter. Now, he could speak only when she commanded him to—and he hated her all the more for it.

Alexa loved it.

She turned slowly to face him, tilting her head as if observing a piece of art she had personally defiled. “You miss her, don’t you?”

His jaw tensed.

“Mira,” she said, tasting the name like spoiled fruit. “Your little puppet. She’s in the dungeons now, looks so broken. I almost feel bad.”

She laughed then. A full-bodied, cruel thing that bounced off the marble.

Thane’s eyes burned with silent fury.

“I know you want to speak,” Alexa teased. “To say something heroic. Maybe beg, ma

  • Betrayal under the wolf’s moon   Chapter 120 : HOPE IN HADES!

    Luca's attention was fixed on me. “Did you see something, Mira?"My tongue felt tied, like something within me was warning me to not disclose what I'd seen.I listened.Shaking my head, I said, “No… not really!”He didn't seem to believe me, so I looked away. I'd seen a lot, a whole lot. It clearly wasn't just a dream, this had to be a vision of some sort.But I wondered, what was I supposed to do with this? How was seeing everything I saw going to help me in the battle that was drawing near and near each day?I'd known Alexa was cruel and heartless, but I had no idea she'd been this way all along. I used to think she'd been traumatized as a child or something. I used to justify her actions with thoughts like that. Maybe she wasn't really a bad person, something bad probably just happened to her.Now, I realized that was wrong. The only thing bad that has ever happened to her is herself. I shuddered just thinking about it. She's the devil herself, she’s the one supposed to be in Hade

  • Betrayal under the wolf’s moon   Chapter 119 : PANIC ATTACK!

    MIRA'S POVMy heart thumped in my chest, over and over again, a very unsteady rhythm. I gripped my chest, the pounding making it difficult to take in oxygen.Breathe, Mira! Breathe!“Ughhhhh!" I groaned before I even realized it.Turns out I'd actually forgotten how to breathe. Lira appeared in front of me, almost immediately.“Mira, are you okay?"I shook my head, gripping my chest tighter. “Ahhhh! Fuck!" Those two words took a lot out of me to say them.“Woah! Woah! Heyyy… relax!”She knelt in front of me, gripping my shoulder. “Take a deep breath, Mira."I shook my head again. I can't, I wanted to scream but I could barely even part my lips without gasping like I was dying.Was I dying?It felt like there was just something standing in my trachea, try as I might, it didn't move. I gasped endlessly, doubling over. My chest had begun to ache, a subtle pain at first, now spreading like fire.“Mira… listen to me. You have to breathe. You're going to have to breathe, now.”My skin had

  • Betrayal under the wolf’s moon   Chapter 118 : A DEBT MUST BE PAID!

    NARRATOR'S POVHorror filled Alexa's big black eyes. "No… no! I… it wasn't me. I didn't… I didn't do it."She stared at the blood on her hands, the sight making her tremble. "No! No! Daddy…"Zephyr was in shock. He took a step back, grabbing something for support. Was this a dream? No! Not a dream! Was this some sort of created hallucination? Was this why his parents had asked him to stay in?He should have just listened to them. He should have remained locked up in his room, but how could he ignore the screams? How could he still sketch in his pad when his hands were trembling, and he could only think about what was going on in his parents' basement?Who would have thought that this was what he'd find?No! This has to be a hallucination. They promised they wouldn't die.He swallowed, a very huge lump forming in his throat. Groping for the door in the dark, he turned to leave.Alexa panicked, not internally. “Zephyr, please don't leave. You can't leave me here. You have to help me.”

  • Betrayal under the wolf’s moon   Chapter 117 : HER HEART'S DESIRES

    NARRATOR'S POV*FLASHBACK*The cabin rattled, the wooden walls shook. Alexa's parents, powerful sorcerer's, immediately sensed that something had gone wrong.Their little picnic was brought to an immediate end. The sun itself had disappeared underneath heaps of dark, gloomy clouds.They packed quickly, heading inside.“That wasn't just rain, was it?" Alexa's father, Colin, asked.Mary, Alexa’s mother shook her head. “I can feel a strange presence.”Colin nodded. "Me too. We better get the kids to safety first.”They exchanged one glance that spoke of their mutual agreement. With hasty steps, they went up the stairs to their children's room.Mary didn't bother to knock before she pushed the door open. However, she only saw one child. Where was the other?"Zephyr, where's your sister?”The 13 year old boy looked up from the drawing he was engrossed in."How am I supposed to know?” He said with a shrug.Studying the look on his parent's face, he raised his brows in confusion. “What's wr

  • Betrayal under the wolf’s moon   Chapter 116 : LET THE DARKNESS IGNITE!

    NARRATOR'S POVThe look in Alexa’s eyes was pure fear, like no one had seen before. Zephyr smiled in satisfaction, releasing her neck.She backed away, gripping the wall so as to gain balance. She held her chest, rapid coughs coming in quick succession as she choked. Her eyes watered up.“Who would have thought the Alexa could shed tears?” Zephyr said, his hands disappearing back into the sleeves.Alexa remained bent over. “Why are you doing this to me, Zephyr? I'm your sister. You're supposed to help me."His smile faded away, a stern frown appearing on his face. “And when I help you, what happens next?"Alexa didn't respond, so he continued. “More innocent souls die? Your greed makes you hurt someone…hurt people who did nothing wrong to you? The question should be, why are you doing this? What did these people do to you?”She took another step back, her face contorting with fury. "Who are you and what have you done with my brother? You're not the Zephyr I know.”"Oh really?”She str

  • Betrayal under the wolf’s moon   Chapter 115 : ZEPHYR!

    NARRATOR'S POVLuca didn't hesitate to follow when Mira began walking away. However, he was stopped abruptly.Lira appeared in front of him, her eyes cold and glaring. "That's enough, Luca. Stand back.”He sneered. "Oh, you know my name! Pretty! Now get out of my way, child.”Lira frowned. In one swift move, her fist flew out, landing on his stomach. Luca bent over, eyes popped open.A loud groan filled the air.It was Lira's turn to sneer. “How pretty is it to be punched by a child, huh?"Luca couldn't respond. He collapsed unto the floor, holding his stomach.“You lied to her. Now give her some space." She said sternly. She turned to Nathan. "You too."Without another word, she walked out on both of them.Luca remained on the ground, groaning like an injured man. Nathan watched him. His expression was mixed, so were his emotions. Was he angry, or did he feel guilty?He definitely had not wanted things to turn out like this. He had lost it in the heat of the moment. Did he regret it?
