Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim 50
Lykan's pov Snow crunched beneath our boots. Twelve. Only twelve of us remained. The silence after the battle rang louder than the clash of blades. The ridge was behind us now, bloody and scorched,, but the scent of death still clung to the wind. We made camp in a clearing sheltered by pine, the branches drooping low with the weight of snow. A fire burned, weak against the chill, and our warriors sat scattered around it, silent, nursing wounds they didn’t speak of. This wasn’t just a rescue mission anymore. This was a war. And whatever ruled Nytherra... it wasn’t something natural. I stood at the edge of the clearing, the night sky ink-black above me. The trees surrounding us whispered with things unseen. Dominic stepped up beside me, arms crossed, his expression unusually grim. “I thought I’d seen everything,” he said, his voice low. “But those witches… they weren’t creatures. They were forces. And we’re not prepared.” I didn’t respond right away. Because he was right.

Elena's pov The underground chamber was cold and damp, but the fire blazing in the centre of the stone hearth was bright, burning like the rebellion we were about to set into motion.I stood at the head of the battered table, Mira at my side, and the eyes of the rebellion staring back at me.They were warriors, yes, but not all with blades. Some were mothers with calloused hands. Elders with wisdom etched into every scar. Children who had grown too fast, too soon. But they all had one thing in common:Hope.And they were looking at me to lead it.Mira placed a hand on my shoulder before stepping back, letting the space belong to me.I took a breath and began.“I won’t pretend to have all the answers,” I said, my voice steady despite the storm within me. “I’m not here to play queen or saviour. I’m here because I’ve seen enough. I’ve bled enough. And I refuse to stand by while we’re treated like animals while our children grow up in chains. While we suffer day and night. ”Someone in t

Lykans pov I didn’t move.I wasn’t sure if I could.Everything in me wanted to believe what I was seeing—her soft voice, the glow in her eyes, the eerie calm she radiated. But logic screamed at me.The tree behind her groaned like it was breathing. Like it had birthed her out of memories long buried.She smiled again, gentler this time. “I know you don’t trust what you see, and that’s wise. This place twists the truth, turns longing into illusions. But I am not of this forest. I am of the blood it fears.”“Elena’s mother?” I asked slowly, Varyn pacing behind my ribs like a caged storm.She nodded. “Seraphine. The last true Moirea queen. And I know you, Lykan of the Black Mountain pack. Alpha. Mate.”“I’ve been trapped here,” Seraphine continued. “Not alive. Not fully dead. Bound to this tree by the same magic that curses this forest. That binds me here to this forest. ”“Then how did you appear?” I asked.“The tree let me out for a moment," she smiled. "Why did it let you out, tho?

Elenas pov The door to the dark room creaked open.For a moment, I didn’t move—afraid it was another trick, another illusion meant to play with my mind. But the air that drifted in was real. Cold. Soot-laced. Familiar.A guard stood in the doorway, silent. No words. Just a sharp nod before turning away.I pushed myself up, muscles aching, bones bruised from the cold floor. My limbs protested, but I ignored them.They thought keeping me in darkness would break me.But all it did was remind me of who I was.I walked out of the cursed chamber, back into the mountain that had stolen so many Moirea lives, and I didn’t look back. Not once.When I emerged into the dim cavern holding the other cells, everything was too quiet. Until “Elena!”Mira’s voice cracked with relief as she ran to me, eyes glassy with tears. She looked thinner, more worn, but her spirit was still unyielding.“Are you alright? What did they do to you?”I took her hands in mine. “I’m fine. They wanted me scared. I’m not

Lykan povThe forest twisted the deeper we rode. It didn’t look like it belonged to this world anymore, as if we had crossed into something older, something that had never known light. Even the air changed, thick and metallic, like blood had soaked into the soil long before we ever arrived.Sylvester didn’t flinch. His horse moved without hesitation. He knew this place.Dominic and I followed, our warriors silent behind us, their eyes alert but unsettled.None of us spoke.Because here, even our voices didn’t feel like our own.The trees bent in ways they shouldn’t. Their trunks pulsed faintly, like heartbeats. The snow on the ground was tainted with black streaks, like ink spilt through the frost.The wind carried whispers.Not from mouths.From memory.My memory.They called my name.They whispered Elena’s.Each step further cracked something inside me. I was walking into my own mind, into my own fears—and the forest drank every ounce of it.Then we hit the clearing.It was wide and

Lykans pov The cold bit deeper the moment we passed through the boundary stones. The woods here didn’t breathe like normal forests. They listened. Our horses kicked up snow as we rode into the shadowed trees, every breath turning to smoke in the air. The snowfall wasn’t heavy, but it was constant drifting like ash instead of flakes. Sylvester led at the front, his hood drawn up, reins held firm as his black stallion trudged ahead. Dominic rode beside me, scanning every tree with the eyes of a soldier expecting war. But this wasn’t war. This was worse. Because the enemy here was invisible. Old. And smart. The Mountains of the Dead didn’t kill with claws or teeth. They broke you with memory. With fear. With illusions. And already, I could feel them watching. The trees curved overhead like ribs, enclosing us in a skeletal tunnel. Mist rolled over the path, thick and shimmering like it carried voices. And maybe it did. “Don’t speak to anything that talks first,” Sylvester

Elenas pov Eira looked majestic.The ginormous wolf stood proud before me, her white fur gleaming under the silvery moonlight. The air shimmered with stillness around us, the forest quiet, sacred, ancient. Her violet eyes met mine, not just powerful, but knowing.She was beautiful in a way that demanded reverence. And for the first time since I’d been taken, I didn’t feel afraid.I felt like I had come home."Eira," I breathed, stepping forward. "You're here. You came back."Her deep voice echoed through the space, more felt than heard.“I never left, Elena. You were just too close to the edge to hear me.”I swallowed the lump in my throat. “That place… that Alpha. What is he?”Her ears flattened slightly, and she turned her massive head toward the sky.“Not just wolf. Not just man. He’s become something else… something that feeds.”“Feeds?” I asked, heart pounding.“On fear. On pain. On despair. The stench you smell clinging to him—it’s not just blood. It’s rot. The residue of centu

Lykans pov The war table in the strategy room was cluttered with open scrolls, brittle maps, and hastily scribbled notes. The fire crackled in the chimney, but it did nothing to chase away the cold anxiety in my bones. Dominic leaned over the northern quadrant of the map, his brow furrowed. “If we take the High Ridge pass, we’ll hit the border in six days. But the terrain’s brutal. Too many ridges, and not enough cover.” I ran my fingers along the paper, tracing the jagged outlines of the Barren Lands. “If we go west through the frozen hollows, we can avoid most of the Nytherra scouts. That’ll buy us time.” “Time we don’t have,” Dominic muttered. "She might not necessarily have 6 days.” His words echoed my thoughts. Every second we hesitated was another second she spent suffering under that monster. The door creaked open behind us. I didn’t look up until the scent hit me: ancient pine, blood, and something I couldn’t name. Sylvester. The old wolf stepped inside,

Elena’s pov I didn’t move. I couldn’t. My body trembled not from weakness but from the effort of holding back the wildfire surging under my skin. His words echoed in my ears. “I let your mother escape because I needed a cub to feast on.” I felt Eira recoil inside me. My knees locked, fists clenched at my sides. But I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. “You’re lying,” I gritted through my teeth. “You didn’t create me. You don’t control me.” The Alpha’s expression didn’t change. He simply tilted his head to the side, studying me like a scientist with a specimen pinned to a slab. Cold. Detached. “How adorable,” he murmured. “The pride. The defiance. Just like Seraphine. And look where it got her.” A thousand blades of grief pierced through my chest at the sound of her name in his mouth. His voice was venom. It coiled around the memories I didn’t have and tainted them, replacing them with cruel, fabricated truths. “She escaped you,” I spat. “She ran because
