Kira's POV.

"KIRA!" A familiar masculine voice shouted my name and I creased my brow as I looked at the entrance of the secret underground room in my room.

That was definitely Ashton, what was he doing in my room?

"Kira, where are you?!” he asked and I let out a loud sigh before heading to the exit, this had better be important.

The door to the underground room creaked as I pushed it open. Ashton stood in the middle of my bedroom, his chest heaving, sweat dripping down his face, and a wild look in his eyes. He turned sharply as the door opened, and relief washed over his features the moment he saw me.

“There you are!” he barked, striding toward me with such intensity that I instinctively stepped back.

“What is it, Ashton?” I asked, trying to keep my voice neutral despite the unease creeping up my spine.

His hands shot out, gripping my shoulders as he scanned me from head to toe, his gaze sharp and frantic. “Did you eat anything recently? Anything Isabella gave you?”

I frowned, shrug

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 90: His Blissful Hell.

    Kira's POV. Ashton’s question hung in the air, thick with tension. His intense gaze bore into me, and for a moment, I faltered. Fear wasn’t something I was willing to admit, not to him or anyone.I turned on my heel, determined to leave, but before I could take another step again, his hand shot out, grabbing my wrist and spinning me around. His strength caught me off guard, and in one swift motion, he pushed me back onto the bed.“What the hell, Ashton?!” I snarled, struggling to push him off me. But my strength felt like it had vanished, my body betraying me in a way I couldn’t comprehend. That damn wolf was responsible for this, I just know it deep in my guts! “Stop fighting me, Kira,” he said softly, his voice carrying an edge of command. His hands pinned mine above my head as he hovered over me, his face mere inches from mine. “For once, just stop.”The anger bubbling inside me collided with a strange, unwelcome vulnerability. I glared up at him, my chest heaving with frustratio

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 91: Sex Tape.

    Kira's POV. "Ma'am, Isabella is in the building, what should I do about it, should I send her back home?" Jonas asked as we headed to the meeting room but I just waved him away. I'm more interested in the meeting at hand, meeting with all the mafia Lords under me, I don't know the sudden reason why they'd called for a meeting but I'm pretty sure it was important. "Just let her play her game, I want to see what she's up to this time around, I'm intrigued by her attacks, let's see what she plans to do again this time." Jonas hesitated for a moment before nodding, clearly unsure of how to handle my casual indifference toward Isabella’s antics. "Understood, ma’am. I’ll keep an eye on her.""Good," I muttered, brushing past him as I stepped into the grand meeting room. The air was thick with tension, the kind that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. All the mafia lords were already seated, their expressions ranging from guarded to openly hostile. Something was definitely

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 92: Training.

    Kira's POV. "You can call Ashton to come help you with your training, you know." Mo suggested but I just rolled my eyes as I constantly kicked the dummy in front of me. I don't need Ashton, I can train by myself. "He's the only one strong enough to stand against you and you know that, the rest always give up, run away or end up passing out." She whined and I sighed."The last time Ashton came to this place, he used a gun to fuck me, it was a crazy experience, I need my focus and not some distractions!" I snapped at her and my face heated up at the thought of Ashton's last visit to the training room. It was impossible not to recall the smirk on his face as he teased me, completely unbothered by the chaos we created. My face flushed as the memory replayed itself in my mind.“Exactly,” Morana teased. “And wasn’t that just the kind of ‘training’ you needed? Maybe he can remind you how to relax and focus at the same time.”“Shut up, Mo,” I growled, delivering a hard kick to the dummy tha

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 93: Revelation.

    Kira's POV. Isabella leaped at me, her bloodlust thick and tangible in the air. Her massive form blurred as she closed the distance between us in an instant. I braced myself, Morana growling fiercely in my mind as she took control of our movements."She’ll regret this," Morana hissed, her voice dripping with rage.I ducked just as Isabella’s claws slashed through the space where my head had been a second earlier. The force of her attack sent a gust of wind past me, and I wasted no time retaliating. My claws extended as I swung upward, aiming for her exposed side.She let out a sharp yelp as my claws made contact, leaving a deep gash along her flank. Isabella’s wolf stumbled back but quickly recovered, her glowing eyes narrowing in fury."Is that all you’ve got?" I taunted in my mind and Morana growled, her massive form overwhelming Isabella's wolf who shifted back. Morana’s dominance surged through me as she fully took over. Her fury was high, a tempest roaring inside both of us. Is

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 94: Don't Want You.

    Kira's POV. My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the magnificent wolf in front of me, "Our mate is a wolf Kira, can you believe this, he's a fucking werewolf!" Morana pounced excitedly in me but I was too mad to acknowledge her, too mad and surprised at the same time, her constant shrill voice in my head made me cuss, " Shut your trashy mouth Mo, I can clearly see he's a damn werewolf, do you have to scream my head down?!" I fired angrily, hot unwanted tears leaving my eyes and I wish I knew why those tears were falling from my eyes. The huge wolf before me stood tall, powerful, with sleek black fur that shimmered under the dim light. His piercing red eyes locked onto mine, and for a moment, the room seemed to shrink around us. It was Ashton. My supposed human bodyguard. My…mate.Morana let out a gleeful howl in my mind. "Our mate is perfect! Look at him! So strong, so..."“SHUT UP!” I screamed aloud, cutting her off. The sound echoed in the room, but Ashton didn’t flinch. He st

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 95: Ashton.

    Kira's POV. "Pouring your anger on a poor dummy wouldn't change the fact that our mate is out there, doing goddess knows what, we don't even know where he is, you hurt him Kira, you really hurt him and I'll not forgive you if anything happens to him!" Morana growled angrily at me and I punched the dummy harder, I needed to unwind."He's gonna be fine, he's a damn werewolf, nothing will happen to him, besides, he's his own man, just like I'm my own woman, stop annoying me!""You're so frustrating, Kira," Morana hissed. "He’s not just a werewolf...he’s our mate! Do you even understand what that means? It’s not just about you, it’s about us!"I rolled my eyes, punching the dummy with even more force. "I’m not having this conversation with you. Not now, not ever. He’s fine, Morana. Probably out there plotting his next move or finding someone else to annoy."Morana growled in frustration, her energy pulsing within me like an uncontrollable storm. "You’re heartless! You know he’s hurting,

    Kira's POV. I searched the weapon room for some of my weapons, I have no idea where I had kept them last, "Will you act fast, our mate is in danger!" Morana screamed angrily and I just sighed, I was confused and didn't even know what to do. Suddenly, the door swung open, "we're ready ma'am, we're waiting for you." Jonas informed me but I just nodded."Where are my favorite daggers and guns?"Jonas raised an eyebrow, his expression a mix of urgency and confusion. “You left them in the training room last week, ma’am. I’ll have someone fetch them if you’d like.”I let out a frustrated huff, my patience thinning. “Forget it. I’ll find them myself.” I brushed past Jonas, my focus solely on preparing for the mission.Morana was a storm in my mind, her growls and snarls relentless. “He doesn’t have time for your disorganization, Kira. Move faster!”“I’m moving, Morana! Stop pushing me!” I snapped back internally, clenching my fists as I stormed into the training room.There they were...my

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 97: Sweet Entertainment.

    Kira's POV."Can I tear them apart?" Kira pounced excitedly and there was anger in her too. "Calm down my love." I chuckled and began to move forward, my sword gleaming, halting, I looked at the men with weapons pointed at me and sigh softly."You idiots never learn not to mess with me, how many more examples do I have to make? How many will I have to kill?!" The men hesitated, their guns trembling slightly as they aimed at me. I could see the uncertainty in their eyes, the flicker of fear that even their bravado couldn’t mask. I took another step forward, dragging my sword along the ground, the sharp sound grating against the silence of the room."Drop your weapons," I ordered, my voice cold and commanding. "Unless you want to join the corpses outside."One of them sneered, his confidence faltering. "You're just one woman," he said, but his voice wavered. "We outnumber you."I let out a low, humorless laugh. "And yet, you're shaking." I pointed the bloodied tip of my sword at him.

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 141: Too Late.

    Kira’s POV"Wrong information, madam. I'm sorry for bringing you out here because of the fake lead." Jonas bowed deeply, guilt written all over his face.I waved it off lazily, my expression calm but my heart anything but.“It’s alright, Jonas. Call Ashton. Let’s head back home,” I said with a small smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “We’ll get those two soon. I can feel it in my blood. Tell the men to retreat.”He nodded quickly, grateful, and disappeared into the corridor with urgency.But I didn’t move.I stood perfectly still, in the middle of the grand hall of the old mansion we’d just torn apart with runes, spells, and steel. The place reeked of age and dust, but beneath all that... I caught it. Faint. Subtle. Familiar.And enraging.They were here.Not long ago either.Jonas thinks it was a bad lead. He thinks it was a waste of time. But he’s wrong. Nicolas was here and he had one of my sons with him.I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply.Yes.There it was.The faintest edge of my

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 140: Little Thunderstorm

    Kira’s POV"Mommy!" Trisha’s voice rang through the halls like a siren, high-pitched, dramatic, and way too powerful for a five-year-old.I groaned, sinking lower into the bathtub where I had been hiding, yes, hiding, for the last two hours. No meetings. No mate. No Ashton. No chaos. Just bubbles, silence, and my sanity desperately clinging to the last five percent of peace I had left in my life.“Trisha, focus on your homework with Alex!” I shouted back, loud enough to echo through the entire estate. “Mom’s busy!”Crack!Thunder snapped outside the window, rattling the tiles around the tub.Oh hell no.I sat up, blinking through the rising steam. “Was that…?”"Yes," Morana deadpanned. “That was thunder. Your daughter just summoned a localized lightning bolt.”I slapped water. “What the fuck is wrong with her?! Who the hell does she think she is...summoning storms over homework?!”"You." Morana answered simply. “She thinks she’s you.”“Why does everyone in this house have attitude pro

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 139: The Ache

    Kira’s POVMy whole damn body was thrumming with need.Not just a passing wave of heat...no. This was a full-body ache that pulsed beneath my skin like fire licking through my veins. My thighs clenched on instinct, and I hated it. Hated how weak it made me feel. Hated how this morning's little… incident had wrecked my entire internal system.One look. One growl. One whisper of “shoot if you can,” and now I was sitting in the middle of a boring, gray-as-hell meeting, grinding my teeth and silently begging for the clock to move faster.Damn Ashton.That smug bastard had no idea what he’d done. Or maybe he did. Maybe he knew exactly what he was doing when he stood there naked, all toned muscles and confidence, looking like sin and smirking like he’d won a damn war and goddess, his mouth working on me was bliss. And I let him get to me.I let him turn my morning into this...an uncontrollable storm of hormones and heat I couldn’t shake."Just allow him to mark you and all this shit will r

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 138: Morning Games

    Ashton’s POVThe scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, rich, dark, and sinful. My eyes snapped open on instinct. Kira. It had to be her. No one else dared wake me up with my favorite roast unless they had a death wish ...or a death wish and a death glare, which she carried equally well.I blinked through the sunlight and found her already dressed for the day, standing by the window like a goddess in a fitted navy suit that clung to her curves and screamed danger with every line. Her hair was tied up in a sleek twist, not a strand out of place. Red lips. Smoky eyes. That gun strapped to her thigh? Pure art.“Hello, sleepyhead,” she purred, sauntering over to my side of the bed with a cocky grin. “Looks like I wrecked you last night.”She winked.I grunted, sitting up slowly and taking the mug she handed me. “Thanks,” I muttered, still trying to blink the images of last night’s chaos from my head. She was trouble. Soft, deadly, addictive trouble.“You look like shit,” she comme

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 137: Trust and Claws… Bound and Owned

    Kira’s POV“And you trust him enough to tutor Trisha?” Ashton asked, voice calm, too calm, the kind of calm he used right before someone got mauled.I didn’t flinch. I knew that tone, knew him.He was pissed.But trying to be polite about it.I leaned back in the armchair, swirling the champagne in my glass lazily before taking a sip. “Yeah, I trust him. Enough, at least.”Ashton’s jaw flexed. His eyes hadn’t left me once since I’d finished explaining everything. The kidnapping. The rescue. The healing. The werewolf reveal. And finally… the part where I decided to make the walking mystery our daughter’s personal tutor.“I’ve run every kind of scan on him,” I added, keeping my tone light. “Magical, physical, blood lineage, you name it. He passed them all. Even his memories were clean. No ties to the brothers. No curses. No shady backdoor deals with witches or warlocks. Just a regular lone wolf trying to live a boring life teaching about ancient wars.”Ashton didn’t blink.I pressed on.

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 136: Fractures and Facts

    Kira’s POV"Well, he's telling the truth, ma’am," Jonas reported, his voice crisp as he tucked the clipboard under his arm and stepped back. “His ID checks out. Staff records confirm he’s been here for years. No known criminal affiliations. And… Yes, he’s a werewolf, but he’s registered under the neutral pack treaty. Low threat level.”I exhaled through my nose, glaring at the man slumped on the infirmary bed like he personally offended me by existing. My jaw ticked as I crossed my arms, hating the way he just laid there...alive, breathing, and smugly intact despite nearly bleeding out an hour ago.Alex glanced over at me with a faint grimace, one side of his mouth twitching in what might’ve been a sarcastic smile if he wasn’t half-dead. “You always treat your heroes like this, or am I just the lucky one?”I narrowed my eyes. “You’re not a hero. You’re a man I badly want to kill.”Jonas looked like he wanted to evaporate from the tension in the room, but I waved him off. He gave me a

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 135: Truth or Bones

    Kira’s POVI checked my wristwatch for what had to be the fiftieth time in the last ten minutes.Any second now.Trisha would come bursting through those classroom doors, ponytail bouncing, cheeks flushed, her little feet thumping excitedly against the polished floors.She’d scream “Mommy!” like we hadn’t seen each other in years, threw herself into my arms, and talked a mile a minute about every crayon, cupcake, and classmate she encountered.I missed her.A lot."You're just being silly," Morana grumbled in my head. "It’s barely been four hours since she left. Stop being stupid."I smirked. “You miss her too.”"I do not."“You cried last night when she hugged us goodnight.”"I sneezed. Shut up."I chuckled softly, arms crossed as I leaned against the school’s outer wall, blending in with the other parents.Well, not entirely. Most of them wore business suits or yoga pants. I wore a black leather jacket over a pastel-pink sundress (thanks, Trisha), and combat boots. One mom looked at

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 134: A Lesson in Fear

    Kira’s POV“Where are those bloody rascals?” I snarled, my voice sharp and cold as I shoved open the reinforced door to Ashton’s office.It slammed against the wall with a satisfying bang.Ashton didn’t even flinch. He was leaning against his desk, arms crossed, like he’d been expecting this exact explosion.Probably had.“Three attacks,” I hissed. “Three. On her first day. If you think I’m going to sit here and let this slide, Ashton.. ”“You’re going to kill them, aren’t you?” he asked, calm as ever.I grinned. “Why the fuck wouldn’t I?”Because really, what kind of idiot tries to attack my daughter, inside a warded, high-security school, within hours of her arrival?The kind who doesn’t value their life. That’s who.“They were intercepted before they got close,” Ashton said, pushing off the desk. “She doesn’t know anything happened. The guards did their job.”“I don’t care,” I snapped. “She shouldn’t have been a target to begin with.”His gaze met mine, serious now. “You knew this

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 133: The Choice

    (Few Weeks Later)Kira’s POV“School?” I repeated, blinking as I stared at Ashton across the kitchen table.He nodded casually, sliding my favorite coffee mug toward me like he wasn’t currently suggesting one of the biggest, scariest decisions of my life.“Yes,” he said. “I’ve done all the necessary arrangements. All that’s left now is your approval, and she’ll be in school by next week.”I curled my fingers around the warm mug but didn’t lift it.Instead, I just stared at the swirling steam like it held the answers."I don’t know, Ashton," I muttered, my voice low. "Trisha going to school with all these dangers hovering around… I’m scared. I was thinking of home-schooling her."He leaned forward, his voice soft but firm. “I know you’re scared. I am too. But she needs more than just protection. She needs normal.”I scoffed. “There’s nothing normal about our lives.”“She’s not just your daughter, Kira. She’s a child. She deserves to experience childhood.”I flinched.Damn him.He alway
