The Betrayed Luna: Rise Of The Phoenix Chapter 31
Aurora’s POVAlaric froze, and his gaze flickered up to meet mine. It was a fraction of a second but I saw the confusion in his eyes.“We have to go,” I stated, keeping my tone as professionally as one would regard a colleague, not one’s husband and mate.His expression morphed from desire to frustration and fury.“You,” he spoke but cut himself off with a dark, mirthless chuckle. “You won’t even let me kiss you. What crime have I committed, my Luna?”My Luna, he said. Long ago when we were first married and I took up the position as Luna for the pack, he would always call me that. Those times we spent nearly every waking hour together, save for his meetings with the Elders. We worked together, and I even moved most of my documents to his study back then. When we were free, we would either stroll through the gardens and the pack together or read together, and sometimes even took a nap under my persistence.Back then I had loved him with all my heart. And back then I had assumed that h
The Betrayed Luna: Rise Of The Phoenix Chapter 30
Aurora’s POVThe evening party started at 4pm, three hours before the full moon run came.I exhaled, knowing I was about to settle into my role as Luna once again.An hour ago I had been too busy trying to choose dresses, each of which didn't appeal to me.I frowned as the maid took out another of my dresses, raising it up for me to look at.When did my style become so… matronly?I pursed my lips, shaking my head dismissively and stating, “Any other ones among the selection?”The maid, Carla, who was specifically good at handling my wardrobe, hesitated slightly.“Luna, these are the dresses you picked out the last tie. There aren’t any others.”Of course, I sighed.I had picked these dresses out over a month ago. I tended to fill my days with planning things months in advance, and that alone was a testament to my abilities. But this time I loathed my past self, because I was clearly of the mind that I had to present myself as a mother to the pack.But now, things are different. Now, I

Alaric’s POVShe didn't care.That hurt more than anything.What had happened to make her this way?I couldn't stop Aurora from leaving, my heart was heavy. Though I tried to not let it bother me, it was impossible.She was always good at enduring, but what else could I do? She hadn't ever acted like this before.I had assured her time and time again that nothing was truly happening between Seraphina and me. Was that not enough?“Ric,” Seraphina’s voice was soft and as I raised my gaze, I met her doe-eyed, red-rimmed ones.She wore a dress that made my brows furrow slightly. It was one of Aurora's gowns, one that I remembered for how good it made her hips look. Seraphina wore it splendidly, but as I looked at her I couldn't help but remember the way Aurora wore it to our fifth wedding anniversary dinner.“What happened?” I asked, still reeling from emotions that I didn't want the name.She paused, her eyes flickering to the ground then she bit her lip.“I’m sorry, I didn't mean for yo

Aurora’s POVI stiffened.Inside my head, I could hear myself shouting, ‘Don't say a word, don't say a word,’ because truly this woman was trying to provoke me and she was close to winning.“What do you know,” I spoke with the same level of calm, injecting curiosity into my voice. “About the love of a mother? Or the bond between a mother and son? Your petty actions don't do anything to me.”Her laughter was crackly, almost as if she wished to tear me apart. I gazed deep into her eyes, seeing the mire in them.She was truly angry now, but had I done anything to her?“Is that so?” She took a step closer to me. “So you mean to tell me that you aren't afraid of losing him?”“I’m not afraid,” I replied softly. “Of anything.”Then I felt it, a dark aura shooting towards me. It nearly made my heart skip, fear shooting in my nerves.So that was her plan, to get me to lower my guard and end up as her pawn. Her dark energy surged, poised to manipulate. I wasn't going to let her win.With only a

Aurora’s POVAssault?That word nearly made me want to laugh, because I could see the way her eyes darted towards me, a flickering, nearly dismissable action.If it were any other person, I would have defended them and ensured they got justice. But here I could tell she was simply trying to make a scene. And Alaric seemed to believe in what she said too.He took several steps forward, nearly reaching her, before he stopped and turned to me. This looked bad, I knew it, and he did too. If anyone saw him comfort her it would throw a wrench in his plans to keep his reputation as Alpha.So then, slowly he turned to me, a question in his eyes, a plea to step in.And I, true to my word to keep up his flimsy ruse, decided to help.It wasn't out of altruism, no. It was simply because I knew everyone could see through it, and I had no desire to entertain more questions than needed. I had 17 days to go before my divorce petition was finalized. I could afford to be a little nice. Plus, I wanted t
The Betrayed Luna: Rise Of The Phoenix Chapter 26
Aurora’s POVThe effect on Seraphina was sudden. She blinked once, twice, then her eyes reddened, and so did her cheeks. She looked embarrassed,and this time I knew it was sincere, because every time Eva hit, she always struck right at the heart.I had to admit though, I never expected Eva to come to my defense. She was always trying to one-up me, one would think she had suddenly gotten a brain transplant.“I’m sorry,” Seraphina looked like she could sink into the ground. And Alaric cleared his throat.“Lady Seraphina, please do not take it to heart. I’m sure you can enjoy yourself at this event,” It was a dismissal. And she knew it.With her head lowered, I could still feel the ire rising off of her in waves. She turned and made her exit, moving to the furthest corner, but as I watched her leave her back was stiff, and she no longer displayed the confident stride like a peacock that she always did when she had won. This time, it was clear that she lost.I turned, only to pause slig
