Rising Of The Dark Luna: A Tale Of Revenge & Redemption

Mabel.After uttering those words in unison, Lydia lunged at me, but I swiftly dodged to the left, narrowly avoiding her strike.“You’ve become faster, Little Wolf,” she taunted with a wicked smile. “But you won’t evade the next attack.”She was right. Before I could react, her claws tore into my flesh, slicing my thighs and drawing blood. With a yell of pain, I collapsed to the ground.Above me, Lydia mounted, raining heavy punches down on my face. I tried to shield myself with my hands, but the pain of her blows was unbearable.The forest echoed with their roars, celebrating my demise. Why wouldn’t they? I—an abomination was chosen by the Moon goddess as Trevor’s mate. The elders protested, saying an abomination wasn’t fit to be their Luna. According to our law, the Luna must be either the Alpha’s mate or attained through duel of honor—killing the Luna. Alpha John had always prevented the duel of honor from taking place, saying it goes against the moon goddess wishes and it is only

Mabel Cora’s eyes were fixed on me as I devoured the food. I was starving, perhaps I hadn’t eaten for days. We were back in the room where I had first woken up.“Are you going to keep staring at me like that?” I asked, feeling increasingly uncomfortable under her intense gaze.“Are you going to leave once you’re better?” she asked.“Of course.”“Where will you go?”The question hit me hard. I realized I had nowhere to go. None of the territories were safe for me, and you couldn’t just cross into the human realm without going through certain procedures, one of which required permission from the great elders.I dropped my spoon. “I don’t know.”“Exactly. You have nowhere to go,” she retorted. “But you can stay here.”“Your brother doesn’t want me here,” I interjected.I knew she was only keeping me here in hopes that I’d become her brother’s mate. If I didn’t, she might throw me out herself.“I’ll talk to him, I’ll convince him,” she said, slamming her hand hard against the table.Cora

LevI stood still as the threatening creatures surrounded us.“So, this is what Nightingales look like?” I scoffed.Unlike other cane-wolves that, when transformed, stood on four legs like normal wolves, the Nightingales stood on their hind legs. Their canine heads rested on nearly ten-foot, humanoid bodies covered in fur. Aside from the dark aura they emitted, they looked exactly like my beast form.For the impending battle, I smiled and slicked back my hair, which complied effortlessly.I turned to Mabel. “Run and find a place to hide,” I commanded.A wolf without its beast form had no place in this battle. Her strength would be just a little above that of an average human.The battle began with a sudden lunge from one of the three Nightingales. I sidestepped with agility, causing it to miss, then gripped it by the tail and swung it into another. They kept coming, each taking turns to attack. Like a beast I am, I took them down, beheading them one by one.The last one was exception

Mabel.I am by no means a virgin, I was once mated to that bastard, but this kiss was felt deep in my bones. He was hitting depth in me that I didn't know existed and he wasn't even kissing me deeply.I placed my hand on his chest to steady myself but he took it as a sign to stop. I wanted to scream but I would rather swallow a live snake before I did that.“I'll inform the elders of our decision. The mating ceremony will be soon and I would prefer an intimate ceremony. Family only. It's not that special, we have waited for such a long time to find each other,"Alpha Lev said to me and I nodded my head yes.I wanted to lean upwards and take his lips with mine but I stopped myself.Alpha Lev turned to leave and hatred began to brew in my heart. Images of him lying dead army feet began to flash behind my eyes. Then it seemed like I was holding a heart in my hand “What are you waiting for?" I heard Alpha Lev, his voice broke through momentarily and gave me the strength to subdue whatever

Mabel.“It started ten years ago” I heard a familiar voice speak behind me. The voice was clear and feminine, I spun around to see her as my heart skipped a beat.Cora stood by the bookshelf as Lev stood up from his seat with so much effort, but he clearly was not surprised to see her. Lev would always say Cora was the clingy kind of sister who was overly obsessed with her brother and I found it to be cute though.“You don't have to poke your nose into a business that doesn't concern you Cora. Just back out of it right now” Lev muttered and I felt as though he was warning her, his voice filled with exhaustion.“I’m sorry Lev but this matter concerns me because you are my brother and I figured it out. You'd still be too proud to tell her the rest. But she should hear the truth from someone who isn't drugged up and half dead” Cora said, strolling closer as her heels clicked against the polished stone floor and her gaze never left mine.“Cora, do you always barge into private conversatio
