Luna's Revenge Chapter 9:TRIAL
9: TRIAL SELENE As I was led out of the cell, I could feel my heart beating faster as the guards sent to fetch me led me through the dimly lit halls. One of them gripped my hand firmly as though they were expecting me to run, and I could feel their eyes boring into my head. “This is your chance, let me kill them and we can leave this place.” Xercer said, his thin voice sounding louder due to the hallway. I stiffened slightly, despite the fact that I knew nobody except me could hear his voice, I was still worried whenever he spoke up. I ignored his voice since I didn't want to let the guards see me muttering to myself. Besides, killing them would make everything worse for me. If I could survive the trial like Alpha Tristan believes, then I would have the whole pack at my disposal to take my revenge on Lucas. With the guards grip on me, I was guided through the winding corridors of the pack house…just how big is this place? I thought to myself, before we finally stopped in front

10: PREPARATIONSSELENEI was led out of the hall, down another hallway…seriously how large is this place?…and into a smaller room.One of the guards leading me gestured towards a door, "Shower and change into something suitable for battle. You'll find clothes and weapons in the other rooms.”No maids to help me this time, I thought to myself as they shut the door behind me, before stripping out of my clothes and stepping under the shower.I might not be able to experience this for another week, I thought as I basked in the warm water. I would soon be drenched with blood and sweat, and I wanted to be as clean as possible before then.Stepping out of the bathroom, I chose a simple long sleeved shirt and leggings, fitted enough for movement but loose enough to keep me cool, suitable for fighting. I chose the leather boots because they looked badass, but they were also sturdy and comfortable.The guards were waiting for me in the weapons room, with it's array of weapons, swords, axes, sp

11: WAITING TRISTAN As I watched Selene being led away, my heart felt like it was being ripped from my chest. After turning twenty eight without finding a mate, I had long resigned myself to a life without ever feeling the mate bond.And now, after just a few hours of being granted my deepest wish, she was being ripoed away from me."Please, goddess, let her survive this. Let her return to me.” My mind raced with prayers.A hand on my shoulder pulled me away from my thoughts, and I turned to see Tibet staring at me with worry in his eyes."Tristan, are you certain this is the right thing to do? You're not thinking clearly, jusy rushing in head first like you always do.”My jaw tensed. "You really believe she would risk herself like this? That she would agree to a trial by the Goddess , a trial that no outsider has survived, just to play an elaborate game with me? Or do you think I'm so stupid that I cannot recognise a genuine mate bond? I know what I feel, Tibet. I know what the bon

12: SHADOWS SELENE “It's here.” Xercer said, echoing my thoughts. Something caught my attention from the corner of my eye and I turned, expecting to see a huge monster, but there was nothing, just the shadows of the trees twisting around in the invisible wind. “There's nothing there.” I muttered. But the hairs at the back of my neck were all standing upright, telling me that there was something, something I wasn't seeing. Then, it attacked. A whisper of movement, a flicker of darkness in the corner of my vision. My body reacted before my mind could even process what was happening. I twisted to the side just as something sharp grazed my ribs. A chill ran through me, not just from the pain but from the unnatural way it burned. It was cold and almost like I was cut with a pair of ice cubes. I looked down, half expecting to see my skin sliced in half, but I was thankfully quick, and it was just my shirt that got shredded. I turned, my hands already shifted into claws, but there

13: SKIN AND BONES SELENE “I wonder what the next monster would be.” I said, chewing on the hard piece of bread I got from my bag. It was already hours after I defeated the Shadow Wraith, and after a long but uncomfortable sleep, I was ready to take on the next monster. “Don't be too cocky. We may have defeated the wraith, but you wouldn't have had a chance without me. And the challenges are bound to get harder and harder.” Brushing the crumbs off my clothes, I got up and looked around before I started walking in a random direction. Everywhere looked the same, and I was already lost, so there was no point in trying to retrace my steps. The first sign of its presence was the strange rattling sound that suddenly filled the silence. I stopped in my track, waiting to hear where the noise was coming from, but it was so loud, I could not pinpoint it. The sound was a deep rhythmic clatter that sounded like a thousand rocks stumbling down a staircase, echoing through the forest

14: FINAL SONGSELENEThe monster moved again, and it felt like tiny invisible threads were wrapped around my hands and legs, tugging my limbs in multiple directions.My body froze, my muscles seized, and my arm twitched as it started moving up on its own without my control.“I refuse to let this thing control me.” I clenched my teeth, fighting back against the invisible threads trying to pull me apart. I could see the monster grinning as it felt me resisting.It had stopped controlling its army since it thought I was already under its control, and that was it's mistake.“What the hell are you doing?” Xercer screamed in my mind as I relaxed my body and let the monster pull me forward.And then with every ounce of strength I had left, I moved. The strings pulled tighter, but I didn’t care. I lunged forward, wrenching my arm free with a scream of defiance as I shifted my hand into claws.The monster's eyes widened as it realised my plan, but it was too late. I punched into its chest, ig

15: RESCUE TRISTAN“I've spent enough time waiting…its the eight day already and she's not out. I need to go and get my mate.” Every second that passed was another second that Selene was down in that cursed place, alone and helpless, and I refused to delay anymore.I tightened the lace on my boots, my movements swift and efficient as Tibet watched me with worry in his eyes, but under my calm exterior, my pulse roared like an ocean as I thought about what I had to do. “Are you sure about this?" Tibet exhaled, shaking his head. "You have no idea what you'll fine there…or if she's even still-”"Do not say it," I snapped, my voice edged with warning. I refused to think about it…Selene was not dead, I was sure of it. “I will find her.”Tibet's eyes narrowed, but he knew better than to argue with me when my mind was made up. "Be careful, brother."With a deep breath, I steeled myself and entered the Hole, and the moment I did, the world shifted.The air was thick and oppressive, carrying

16: PASSION SELENEWhat the hell…? I thought to myself as I felt the pain rippling through my body. A dull, throbbing ache filled every muscle, even down to my bones.And yet… by some miracle I was alive.I forced my eyes open, but I immediately shut it again when the light filled my vision. Slowly, I opened them once more, trying to adjust to the light in the room.I recognised the room immediately, I was in Tristan's room, laying in his bed…. But how did I get here? The last thing I remembered was losing consciousness after fighting the wraith…I tried to move, but the moment I shifted, a deep voice cut through the quiet."Stay down." Tristan said softly.I turned my head, and there he was, seating on a couch next to the bed, watching me with a dark, unreadable expression on his face.His hands were clenched into fists on the bed, and, his jaw was tight like he was gritting his teeth. He looked furious. He also looked like he hadn’t slept in days."You’re lucky to be alive," Trista

Luna's Revenge Chapter 70: DISBELIEF
TRISTAN My hands were trembling as I pulled Selene gently into my arms, trying to shield her body with mine. “Selene,” I whispered, pressing my forehead to hers, “Selene, what the hell just happened? What was that?” My brain was racing. None of this made sense. I had left her sleeping in our room not long ago. I had kissed her forehead, brushed her hair back and promised her that I would be back before she even noticed I was gone. So how the hell was she here now? Naked, unconscious, inside the remains of the night ripper? Was she…was she the one controlling it? Had it been her all along? No…that couldn’t be…right? Or had it tried to kill her but we got it before it could? But how had it gone up to my room, the pack was guarded and warded too…. Thoughts swirled around in my head, faster than I could keep up with, and I had no idea what to do. But how else could this make sense? The white smoke had formed her. I clutched her tighter, trying to shield her as the footsteps of my
Luna's Revenge Chapter 69: EXPOSED
TRISTAN The monster stared right at me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine, but I straightened and held its stare, refusing to flinch, a tight smirk curling my lips. “You are in my trap now,” I said under my breath, just loud enough for myself. “Your little reign of terror ends tonight.” It started moving again, slow and almost sluggish, like the runes were doing their job. Each step it took flickered more of the silver light around it, and I could smell the acrid burn of smoke where its misty form brushed the poison laced lines. Good…that meant our plan was working. Without a single hesitation, I ran towards it, my poison coated dagger already in my hand, cool and steady, coated in that rare venom we had spent a ridiculous amount of money to acquire. But now, as I closed the distance, I could feel its effect on the creature, and seeing how it flinched when I got close to it, its body coiling tighter in defense - made it all worth it. “You messed with the wrong pac
Luna's Revenge Chapter 68: TRAPPED
TRISTAN “You all know the plan,” I said, my voice steady, there was no room for doubt. “We may not have the full team, but the strategy holds. Do all you can to get it to the trap, and I will be at the end waiting.” Dorian exhaled hard through his nose, then lifted his chin. “We’ve got this.” “We do.” I met the gaze of every man there. “We finish this... tonight.” They nodded, one by one, every last one of them. There was no single hint of fear on their faces despite the fact that we were not prepared for this, they were all determined to see this through. That was why I knew that I could trust them with my life. “Do not let it double back,” I added. “Keep it moving. If you need to slow it down, do it, but do not get cocky. It’s faster than it looks.” “Yes, Alpha,” they echoed as one. I watched them melt into the trees, quiet as shadows, spreading out just like we’d trained. All our planning came down to this moment. I stood alone for a second longer, drawing in a slow brea
Luna's Revenge Chapter 67: END THIS
TRISTAN I walked ahead of my men, scanning the trees like I had a hundred times already, and there was nothing there, no footprints…no scent…no movement…just the same quiet tension pressing down on us. The Ripper was still out here, I was sure of it. But the bastard had gone quiet…too quiet. There had been no attacks in weeks, just silence, and while I should have been happy about that because it meant I did not lose any more pack members, something told me that whatever was coming was big….It did not sit right with me. It was almost like it had vanished into thin air, but I knew better, I knew that it was still in my pack and it would fall into my trap soon. All we could do now was wait and hope he was arrogant enough to fall into it. I rubbed the back of my neck and sighed. It was hard to focus today. My head kept drifting back to the pack house…back to Selene. She had still been asleep when I left, curled up under the blankets, one leg sticking out like she was fighting the
Luna's Revenge Chapter 66: FAIR PLAY
SELENE I got serious this time, with Tristan and I silently exchanging blows and none of us refusing to give in to each other. You’re not the only one who can play foul, I thought to myself as my heart pounded loudly. The moment I saw an opening, I moved quickly, stepping into his space and closing the distance between us until our noses were almost touching. I could feel the heat rolling off his body, the rise and fall of his chest. And then, in a tone I knew would undo him, I whispered in the most seductive voice I could, “I’ve missed you in bed.” Tristan's eyes went wide in shock as he stumbled a little and lost his footing, just like I hoped. That single second of hesitation was all I needed, I used the opportunity to grab his shoulder, twisting my weight, and taking him down hard onto the mat. He grunted as his back hit the floor, and before he could recover, I straddled him, my knees braced tightly on either side of his thighs and my hands pressed to his chest. “Got you,”
Luna's Revenge Chapter 65: FOUL PLAY
SELENE Tristan stepped into the ring without taking his eyes off me. “You may not see it…” he said, his voice smooth and calm as he began bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet, loosening his shoulders, “...but that boy looks at you like you hung the stars.” What!?? I didn't even know what I was expecting from Tristan, but that was the last thing I expected him to say. “I need him to not get any ideas about my mate,” he added, flashing that grin again…the one that showed a hint of fang, just enough to make my heart start beating faster. “Now, are we doing this or not?” “So…” I began as I raised my fists, “you’re really here just to spar? Or are you here to mark your territory?” “Maybe both,” he said, meeting my eyes with a glint that made my stomach flip. “What can I say? I don’t like sharing.” “Who says you have anything to worry about?” “I know I don’t,” he said as calm as ever. “But that does not mean I will not remind the entire pack that you are mine.” I raised a brow
Luna's Revenge Chapter 64: CLEAR THOUGHTS
SELENE “You seem pretty distracted. Is there something on your mind?” Eli grunted just before his fist came flying toward my face. I barely dodged his blow in time as I twisting to the side, but the movement threw off my balance. My foot slipped, and before I could recover or find my footing, I landed flat on my ass with a hard thud with the impact sending a jolt up my spine. I needed to focus or I would get hit. “Ugh…” I groaned, glaring up at him from the mat. “Remind me again why I agreed to spar first thing in the morning?” Eli laughed, already extending a hand toward me. “Because you said you would get rusty if you did not move. Your words, not mine.” I grabbed his fingers and let him haul me up, brushing dust off my training clothes as I caught my breath. The morning air was cool against my skin which was still sticky with sweat. My muscles ached in the best way…but my mind was all over the place and I could not get myself to focus. “I’m fine,” I muttered, turning away f
Luna's Revenge Chapter 61: PLANS
TRISTAN“Whatever it is can’t wait till tomorrow?” I asked Tibet, my voice showing my irritation.I had planned…needed, in fact, to spend the rest of the night holding Selene…I had a feeling we both needed it, but it seems like pack duties would not let that happen.“It’s about the Night Ripper,” he said. His voice was quiet, but urgent. “There… there might be a way to catch it.”I froze in shock as Tibet's words caught my attention, and all my feelings of annoyance fled away from me. Finally…finally we were getting somewhere. I looked back, worried about Selene…she was probably still under the shower, vulnerable and fragile, and I hated the idea of leaving her alone tonight especially after everything that happened…but I could not ignore this…I hoped she would be fine without me.“Are you sure about this?” I asked as I blew out a slow breath and ran a hand down my face.Tibet nodded, and I shit the door behin
Luna's Revenge Chapter 63: MAKE A DECISION
SELENE“He’s gone again…” I murmured to myself under my breath as I stabbed at a piece of bacon with my fork. It was perfectly crisp and smoky, but I barely tasted it.The plate in front of me was half full, but I was already losing interest in eating.I stared at the seat next to me as if Tristan would suddenly appear in it despite the fact that I knew he would not.Recently, Tristan had been busy…busier than he had been since I got here…and for some reason he refused to tell me why.I guess I got used to his presence. The way he would drape his arm around my waist when I sat beside him. The way his eyes softened whenever he looked at me, even when he thought I was not paying attention…it felt lonely eating all my meals alone with nobody but myself to talk to especially when I barely had any friends here.I missed him…and I hated that I missed him. How did I let myself fall for him, despite all the walls that I tried t
