Chapter 6

"You are pregnant," I repeated as I couldn't believe my ears.

Betty smiled brightly, radiant and glowing with happiness. The happiness that should've been mine.

I returned to my room in a state of disorientation. Sure, I was still Luna, but that title meant nothing. Adrian didn't respect me ever, and I had lost our child. To him, I was nothing.

And now that Betty was pregnant with his child? He will deem me as their enemy.

They took everything from me. The man I loved most and my best friend, together, betrayed me.

But, more importantly now, my pack and my parents. How are they doing now? I must go back and make sure nothing has happened to them.

But I had just had a miscarriage, and the succession of news made an already weak me even less energetic.

Before I could go out, I fainted.

When I was awake again , I heard someone call me.

"Miss? Are you OK? You need to eat something."

Someone spoke to me, so I looked up. I recognized her as Adrian's nanny. 

"What is it?" I asked weakly.

“I found you passed out in the foyer, I called the doctor, you need to eat something, you are too weak now.”

I looked at her. She was an older woman with dark hair without a single strand of grey hair. Her eyes were shiny and red with sparks of intelligence. I knew she had been in this family for a long time and helped raise both Adrian and Alvis, so she had been taking care of me as well. I wondered if she would still care for me once she knew Betty was Adrian's mate now.

"I am not hungry, how about my pack? Have they been attacked?" I said curtly, then lay my head down on the pillow. I was in bad shape since I lost a lot of blood during the miscarriage. So I probably should be eating, but I had no appetite. 

But I saw her looking at me, wanting to say something but not, with a sad expression.

It turned out I was too late because I heard the horrific news of our pack was attacked  that night. Adrian had successfully annexed their pack. 

How could he do this to my parents? 

Because of my capricious request, my parents gave him enough support to become an Alpha.

But now, he attacked my pack, he ruined my parents' life's work.

I did not care how weak I was, I rushed to the place where Adrian was spending nights with Betty. 

I passed by some of the wolves from the pack, gathering in the hallways, laughing and gossiping. How could they all act so nonchalant when my life was falling apart?

"Oh, look. Here comes the Luna! Where have you been? Were you taking a nap while your home pack was being destroyed?" One of the girls made a snide comment. 

I halted to face her. "What do you know about my pack? What happened to it?" I demanded to know. 

"Don't act like you have no clue about what happened! I bet you planned this all along, didn't you? You were the Alpha's daughter, and now that you've married our Alpha, you deemed your parents worthless? Wow, you two are a perfect match." The girl chuckled.

They think I was involved in this chaos, I thought bitterly. I didn't have the time to waste, so I continued down the hallways without answering the girl. 

Betty was standing in the middle of the dining room. She grinned as she saw me striding down the hallway.

"What do you want this time?" she barked.

"Betty! Where is Adrian? He should spare my parents!" I cried.

Betty looked at me intently before speaking to me again. "Oh, haven't you heard?" 

My chest constricted. The ominous tone in her voice told me that it wasn't good news.

"He...heard what?" I stammered.

"Your parents are dead."

I stood there quietly. 

The room was so silent that I could hear my own breath. Betty didn't say anything and just smiled and kept looking as if to give me time to gather myself.

"Dead? What do you mean dead?" I finally managed to whisper.

"Adrian and his army have taken over your father's pack, so they declared your parents rogue. Your father, the Alpha, didn't want to back down easily, so he tried to fight him."

"Did Adrian kill my father?" I sobbed.

Betty shook her head and looked at me as she pitied me. "It's a shame what happened to you, Lindsey. I feel bad for you. I really do. But this was a necessary step Adrian had to take."

"How can you say that, Betty! How can you tell me it was necessary to kill my parents?"

"Your parents and you are useless now." I heard Adrian’s voice.

I turned to Adrian. Anger fueled my brain as I saw his smug face again. He was so handsome, yet so evil. I can't believe I never saw his true colors before!

"How could you, Adrian? How could you kill my parents! You already got what you wanted. You took everything. You became the Alpha. You have all the money you want because they helped you get back on your feet. How could you take advantage of their kindness this way?" I said between sobbing. I was shaking like a leaf but somehow managed to stand my ground. 

"It's not that I'm not grateful to you for helping me, Lindsey. I am. You've been a valuable pawn in my strategies. If it wasn't for you, how could my brother give me this position, and I wouldn't have gained this powerful position. Everyone respects me now because of my rise to power," Adrian grinned.

Bitterness filled my mouth, and my heart throbbed in pain. "You used me. You knew my parents loved me, and you knew they couldn't refuse me when I asked them to let me marry you."

"Wow, Lindsey, smart of you to figure this all out, but too late my dear cousin." Betty said sarcastically.

I shuddered at Betty's hateful tone. She never considered me as a family, let alone a best friend. She hated me, I could feel it in my bones.

"That's enough talking. You've wasted a lot of our time already, Lindsey. It's time for you to leave," Betty hissed, then pushed me toward the door.

I pushed her as resistance, and it caused Adrian to flare in anger. He grabbed my arm, dragged me toward the door, and pushed me outside.

"BURN IN HELL, all of you!" I screamed and turned to leave.

But before I could take a step forward, I suddenly saw an arrow flying toward me.

"What..."

I didn't have the time to react as the arrow hit me in the chest and pierced through my skin and rib cage. 

I howled in pain as I fell to the ground. 

This was it, wasn't it? This was the end of me. I thought to myself as the pain overwhelmed my entire body. 

I felt myself slowly fading away before I saw him.

A large silver-white wolf was running toward me in the distance. Who was it? I wondered as all my strengths diminished. 

I closed my eyes as I drew my last breath.

  • Luna Rebirth: Back Before Engagement    Aurora part 7

    My mind couldn't process what Cresil was saying. My brothers? How could that be possible? I had grown up with them, thinking we were just cousins.“What? How would you know that?” I asked.Cresil's expression turned serious. "I have my ways of finding out information," he said cryptically. "But more importantly, you need to understand that this doesn't change anything. You and your brothers are still family, and you still love each other just as much as before."I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. "I know that," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "It's just a lot to take in."Cresil nodded. "I know it is. But I kept the end of my bargain and told you the secret. What you want to do with it is up to you.”I need to talk to my mother, I thought you myself.Cresil seemed to sense my thoughts. "It would be a good idea to confront your mother about this.Taking a deep breath, I got up from the bed. “Take me back to my house.”Cresil nodded and stood up, taking my

    I sighed, feeling a mix of annoyance and attraction towards Cresil. I knew he was trying to push my buttons, but I couldn't deny that I wanted him too.I stood up and slowly began to undress, letting my clothes fall to the ground one by one. Cresil's eyes roamed over my body, his gaze hungry and possessive."Beautiful," he breathed, reaching out to touch me.I stepped away, feeling a sense of defiance growing within me. "You still haven't told me what I need to know," I reminded him.Cresil smirked. "Always so focused on business. I still haven't gotten everything I wanted from you.""Why do I get to be the only one standing here naked? That's not fair," I said. Cresil chuckled. "You have a point there. Come here," he said, pulling me towards him.I kept my eyes glued to his body as he began to undress. His human form was sculpted to perfection but that's not what attracted me about him. "I want you to change back to your true form," I said in a hoarse whisper.Cresil looked at me w

  • Luna Rebirth: Back Before Engagement    Aurora Part 5

    When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dimly lit room, sitting on a plush couch. My head was pounding, and my body felt heavy and sluggish. I tried to get up, but my limbs refused to cooperate. Panic set in as I realized I was trapped. I turned to look for Cresil, but he was nowhere to be seen."Cresil, where are you?" I called out, my voice echoing in the empty room.A moment later, the door opened, and someone walked in, a smug grin on his face. "Welcome to my humble abode," he said, gesturing around the room. "I hope you find it to your liking.""Err...who are you?" I looked at him with confusion. "Where is Cresil? He was the one who kidnapped me." I observed him closely. This man had long hair too, but his skin didn't have the greyish-purple hue, and his eyes weren't Amber. They were bright blue."I see you don't recognize me in my human form," he laughed.The sound of his voice...it suddenly dawned on me. "You are Cresil!"He chuckled. "Look who figured it out."“You look….”

    I stood there, stunned and unsure of what to do next. Part of me wanted to run away from him, to forget about the dangerous and alluring demon that stood before me. But another part of me was drawn to him, like a moth to a flame.I knew that I should leave, but I couldn't bring myself to move. He must have sensed my hesitation because he reached for me again. "I said get out of here," he growled, but there was a hint of desperation in his voice as if he didn't really want me to go.I closed my eyes and leaned into his touch, feeling a strange sense of comfort in his rough fingers against my skin. "I don't want to leave," I whispered. "I want to help you."He let out a bitter laugh. "Help me?" he repeated. "I don't need help. I'm a demon, remember?""And I am a dragon. We aren't all that different," I said.He looked at me for a long moment, his amber eyes piercing into my soul. "Perhaps you're right," he said finally, his voice low and gravelly. "But you need to understand that I am n

    As we made our way back to the main area of the pack, my mind was racing with questions. What was Rhys hiding from me? And why was this demon so intent on causing trouble?I decided to take Rhys aside and get some answers. "Hey, can we talk for a minute?" I said, pulling him aside.He looked at me, his expression guarded. "Sure, what's up?""I just wanted to know what you're not telling me," I said, crossing my arms. "You said you and the demon had a history. What did you mean by that?"Rhys sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's complicated," he said. "Let's just say that I made a deal with him a long time ago, and it didn't end well."I raised an eyebrow. "A deal? What kind of deal?"Rhys hesitated before answering. "He wanted something from me, and I agreed to give it to him. But he didn't hold up his end of the bargain.""What did he want?"Rhys sighed, his shoulders slumping. "I know," he said, his voice quiet. "But it's complicated, and I didn't want to burden anyone els

    I stared at the deer, dumbfounded.Did Fae deer know how to speak too?But my questions were answered immediately as the deer started shifting.As I watched in amazement, the deer's body began to morph and contort, its limbs elongating and twisting into something that was definitely not natural. Within moments, the deer had transformed into a strange man.My jaw dropped as I took in the transformation before me. His features were almost otherworldly. His hair was long and tangled, and his eyes seemed to glimmer with an ethereal light.The man seemed unbothered by my shock and awe, "nothing to say?" he said in a calm and measured tone."Um...are you a werewolf? Wait, no. Werewolves can't shift into another animal. So you are no dragon, either. So what are you?" I asked.He glared at me. "None of your business.""It is too my business. You are trespassing. Um...Andrew and Rhys said you were a Fae deer. But you are a human?" I stared at him in amazement."No, I am not a human either," he
