ELIZA’S POV

I hadn't expected to run into Derek and Maya at all.

The mall had always been somewhat my sanctuary—a place where I could analyze business operations, browse quietly, and momentarily escape.

It was a place of peace especially since I knew that Derek wouldn’t ever set foot in the place.

However, it turned out today I was wrong.

When they appeared, I chose to ignore them first.

My mother had always taught me that dignity was a weapon more powerful than any harsh words.

But Maya, it seemed, didn’t learn such a lesson while growing up because her shrill voice called out to me.

"Look who's here," she sneered, her voice dripping with malice. “I didn’t think that you had enough money to shop in a place like this Eliza especially with the divorce so close at hand.” Maya jeered, thinking that she had landed a hit to my ego.

I still ignored her, dropping the purse in my hand and reaching for another item to check the quality. It seemed like my lack of attention angered Derek because

  • The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance   Chapter 162

    AUTHOR’S POV“Grandmother, please,” the young pup begged, tugging at the hem of her grandmother’s skirt. “Tell me the story again. The one about Luna Eliza—the Luna who changed everything.”The old woman smiled as she remembered. She sat down by the fire, lifting the small girl into her lap.Outside the cottage, stars blinked in the night sky like they were listening, too.“Ah,” the grandmother sighed. “The Luna who changed everything, hmm? Well then… let me take you back to a time when the world still doubted what a woman could do.”And just like that, Eliza was there again.Not as legend. Not as the Luna in someone else’s story. But as herself. A woman who once stood trembling in the shadows of men… and chose to walk forward anyway.*The first time Eliza saw her face in a hand-drawn portrait, she nearly dropped the scroll.It had arrived by a caravan bundled in with letters. One of the guards unrolled the scroll and grinned.“Looks like the entire east knows your name now, my lady.

  • The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance   Chapter 161

    THIRD PERSON’S POVRiding through the great stone gates on a white horse was none other than Princess Isabella of the Western Plains.But unlike the last time she’d come, today she rode with no army. Just a small, peaceful escort of five riders.She brought gifts for Alexander and Eliza.And standing tall at the castle gates, waiting patiently, was Eliza.She wore no crown, only a simple forest-green gown that hugged her figure and flowed with the wind. Her hair was braided down her back. She smiled as Isabella entered.When the princess dismounted, Eliza stepped forward.“Welcome back,” she said softly.Isabella smiled “This time, I come with peace.”Eliza chuckled. “Great. How is Edmund?.“He’s okay. He’s attending to business in the pack.”The two women hugged each other.“You have changed,” Isabella whispered. “You’ve inspired people.”Eliza pulled back just enough to look her in the eyes. “We’ve both changed.”*The Royal War Room was filled with activity later that day.Maps lin

    THIRD PERSON’S POVHooves pounded down the roads as messengers rode hard from the capital.In every village square, in every border outpost, the same headline resounded—“The Pregnant Luna Who Howled Against Death.”In the alley of a mountain town in the High Hollow Peaks, a group of young girls gathered with sticks clutched in their small fists.Their faces were smudged with ash as they fought and pretended to be warriors.They mimicked sword forms they’d only seen drawn in charcoal on the backs of news scrolls—stances taken from the Lunar Guard, now passed down to them.“Again!” one shouted, stepping forward and swinging her stick in a wide arc. “Strike from the side! Like Luna Eliza!”A younger girl stumbled and fell. She clutched her scraped knee and blinked back tears.“Don’t cry,” the older one said, helping her up. “Eliza fought with a baby in her belly. We can handle a little fall.”Even in local places where the news of the world hardly reached, the news had arrived on the bac

  • The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance   Chapter 159

    ELIZA’S POVThe sun was barely up when I made my way to the training grounds. I stood at the edge of the clearing.My heart was filled with so much pride as I watched the Lunar Guard move through their morning drills.We were over eighty strong now.Women of all shapes and ages were lined up in perfect formation.Around me, I could hear the sounds of clashing swords as they trained hard.“Hold your guard, Nia! Your elbow’s too high—expose your ribs!” Sergeant Vale’s said.The tough weapons master from the east was already in her element, pacing the ranks and barking orders that left no room for weakness.I watched the young she-wolf she addressed. Nia had potential. She showed no fear as she squared off against an opponent twice her size.Nearby, Asha, a widowed mother of two, dodged a blow with speed.Her movements were slower but measured. Watching her reminded me why this training mattered so much. These women weren’t just soldiers; they were survivors.“Don’t let him get the upper

  • The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance   Chapter 158

    ELIZA’S POVI stood in front of the new Lunar Guard recruits.A small crowd had gathered, mostly curious onlookers and elders with tight expressions. The recruits stood in front, curious to hear what I had to say.I stepped forward, "Too long have our sisters, mothers, daughters, and friends been denied the right to stand and fight beside their brothers. Too long have we depended solely on men to protect what is just as much ours to defend. That ends now."The air felt alive, electric."By Royal Decree," I declared, unrolling the scroll with the silver crest of the Lycan Kingdom, "I hereby establish the LUNAR GUARD officially. We will be an elite, all-female military unit dedicated to defending this land, this pack, and our future."I could see the girls straightening where they stood."Those who enlist will receive competitive monthly pay." I said.A few gasps.I knew the women were hesitant to join so I devised a new strategy – financial aid. This would encourage more women."An add

    ELIZA’S POVThe Lunar Guard pilot program had been approved and I couldn’t be happier.I stood tall at the edge of the training field. Behind me, a new banner had been raised—my symbol for the Lunar Guard.A silver moon, cradling a sword.It fluttered against the sky like a promise. I stared at it for a moment longer. I could feel my heart swelling with hope.Then I turned toward the field to see the women.Five.Only five.Five young she-wolves stood lined up in front of me. Their armor didn’t match.Some wore leather, others simple training gear.They shifted nervously under the weight of what today meant. One girl, barely seventeen, tried to hide how much her hands trembled.My smile didn’t falter, but inside… my chest ached.We’d expected dozens for the first day, at least.Something was wrong. I could feel it.But I wouldn’t let them see my disappointment. No.These five had shown up when everyone else stayed back in fear. These five were warriors. The first flames.I stepped for
