Elara’s POV

The sound outside wasn’t normal.

Normally if someone was moving about by this time, their movements were usually loud no matter how they tried to control their movements.

It was too soft, too precise—like someone moving with intent. Someone trained in the art of sneaking around.

A predator. But they didn't account for someone like me.

My body reacted before my mind could catch up. I bolted out of bed, my claws extending instinctively, my breath shallow but controlled. My pulse hammered in my ears, but I forced myself to focus.

I couldn't afford to be out of control in this moment. I needed to be very careful with whatever I was about to get myself into.

Something was wrong. I could feel it deep in my bones, the same way I’d felt it when Andrew touched that cursed letter.

I shoved my feet into my boots, grabbed the dagger under my pillow, and threw open my door. The hall was eerily quiet, but the air was thick with tension.

Then I caught the scent—foreign, laced with somet

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 222

    Elara's POVI stood there, my hands clenched at my sides, the ache in my chest deepening as every second ticked by in silence. The silence wasn’t just around me—it was in them too. Andrew. Michael. Lora. Even Greg, who normally couldn’t hold back a word if his life depended on it. They were frozen, their gazes darting between me and the council.And Rhea.Rhea, who stood with her arms folded and a smugness so thick it made my stomach turn. Mara, standing just behind her like a guard, like she belonged here. As if she hadn’t betrayed us all.“For the good of the pack,” Elder Tobias said slowly, as if the words physically pained him. His voice cracked with the weight of it. “We must consider what is best. Not for one. Not even for the Alpha. But for all.”“This isn’t what’s best,” Andrew growled beside me. I could feel the heat from his body, the way his fists trembled. “You know damn well she didn’t betray anyone.”Tobias didn’t meet his eyes.“Your judgement is compromised,” Rhea spok

    Andrew's POVThe crowd didn’t move. Not a breath. Not a whisper. “That’s right, she betrayed us and can't be trusted.” Rhea agreed.I didn't say anything. Everyone was quiet just the echo of Rhea’s words hanging in the air like a poisoned dart.“Elara betrayed us,” she’d said. And the way her voice carried over the gathered wolves made me want to rip the truth from her throat myself.Elara didn’t move. She stood there, still and composed, but I could see the flicker in her eyes. The tightening of her jaw. She was holding back. Not fear—Elara wasn’t made for that. She was holding in her rage.“This is madness,” I said, stepping forward. “She fought beside us. She bled for this pack. For you.”Michael cut through the front of the crowd, his eyes burning. “We all saw it. She’s not the enemy.”Lora wasn’t far behind him. “Rhea and Mara were locked away for a reason. And now they stroll in with a crowd behind them and you’re just going to take their word over Elara’s?”The murmurs started

    Andrew’s POVI threw on my shirt, barely managing to button it as Elara rushed into her jeans. Her hair was still messy, cheeks flushed from everything we just did, but the look in her eyes had changed. Worry had replaced pleasure. She knew me too well not to read the tension in my voice.She didn’t even ask what Greg had said again. She just grabbed her boots.“Do you think it’s Dorian?” she asked as she yanked them on.“I don’t know,” I muttered, heading toward the door. “But Greg sounded...off. And if it’s enough to make him call mid-morning like that, something’s wrong.”I opened the door, and the cold air slapped us like a warning. I reached for the keys to the Jeep, but before I could even hit the button, I heard familiar footsteps. Fast. Urgent.“Andrew!” Michael’s voice carried through the trees, Lora right behind him.“Thank goodness you guys are here.” I asked as we met halfway across the clearing.“We were relaxing close to the lake,” he said, breathing hard. “Got the sam

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 218

    Andrew's POVThe moment I whispered those words into her ears I was greeted with goosebumps on her skin where my lips were and a shiver.I smiled at the effect that I was having on her. I can't believe I managed to survive so long without spending every waking moment beside her.With a hunger that rose deep from my stomach, I shifted and captured her mouth with mine eliciting a moan from her as she adjusted practically climbing into my lap.Without any much resistance, she opened her mouth to me as my tongue slipped into her and I groaned my delight as I enjoyed the taste of her.Her hand rested on my shoulder while the other wound around my neck drawing my head as she intensified the kiss almost making it bruising.But I loved it. Every single fucking moment. I nipped on her bottom lip and sucked it into mouth as she grinded against my hard on.“You're going to be the death of me Elara.” I muttered as I broke the kiss for a moment to catch my breath as I leaned my forehead against he

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 217

    Elara's POVBy the time we all made it back to the cabin, it was well into the day. Bone tired, we all fell into position on a piece of furniture or the floor as we thought back to how the night had gone.I sat in the the couch with Andrew beside me. He drew me close to his side as he was scared that I would evaporate from his side.Michael and Lora took the other sofa in the room, practically sandwiched together. Greg chose the floor close to the wooden walls.“I can't believe we actually survived that.” Michael muttered as he looked between me and Greg.“Why will you say that?” I asked “I didn't know you had little faith in us.”“Oh c’mon, that's not I meant and you know it.” He replied giving me his full attention.I knew that wasn't what he meant. It was just that the look on his that still held disbelief just unsettled me and I wanted to tease him a bit.I sighed. “I know exactly what you mean.”“And?” He urged.“It was a miracle. What with the god rising and the way he was deter

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 216

    Elara’s POVThe first breath I took was like drowning in light.Not air—light. Thick and sharp and everywhere. It filled my lungs, my veins, my mind.Then I came back.And everything hurt.My eyes snapped open. The world rushed in too fast. The ruins. The silence. The blood on my hands. The echo of Andrew’s voice still whispering my name.He was holding me.His arms were wrapped around me like he was afraid I’d disappear again.“Andrew,” I croaked. My voice didn’t sound like mine. It was softer—richer. Like something else had laced itself through me.He jerked back just enough to look at me, his face streaked with blood and ash and tears. His lips parted in a shaky breath.“You’re awake,” he whispered. “Elara, you’re awake—”“I’m okay.” I wasn’t. But I had to say it for him.He exhaled and pressed his forehead to mine. “You scared the hell out of me.”I touched his jaw. “You offered your life.”“I’d do it again.”He kissed me, quick and desperate. It wasn’t gentle. It was real.I clun

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 215

    Lora’s POVThe world cracked.Not metaphorically. Not in the dreamy, nice and poetic way people say when things fall apart.I mean the altar—centuries old, cursed by blood and time—split down the middle with a sound like the earth itself had screamed.I flinched as shards of stone flew past my face. One grazed my cheek, warm blood sliding down before I could even register the sting. But I didn’t stop moving.“Elara!” I shouted, weaving between the broken stones and bodies. I saw her in Andrew’s arms, limp and deathly still, and something in me nearly shattered too.Not her. Please, not her. She was my best friend and the last thing I wanted was for her losing her life in this wretched place.Then Greg—no, the thing that had been Greg—turned toward me. His eyes weren’t his anymore. Red and empty. His smile too wide, very wrong and completely twisted.My heart pounded, fists clenched. The god had taken him. It had used him.But now?Now even that thing was looking like it wanted to devo

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 214

    Andrew’s POVThe moment Elara expended her power trying to keep the god locked, it seemed like everything had stopped to focus on this particular moment. I stood screaming her name as she tried to do the impossible. But when I watched her falling, I couldn't take it anymore."Elara!" I tore through the red-glowing haze that had blanketed everything. My feet slammed hard into the ancient steps, sliding as I reached her. She was limp. Her skin had gone pale, almost gray, and her eyes fluttered like she was on the edge of leaving me. “Stay with me, dammit. Elara, breathe.”She didn’t respond. Her lips trembled, breath catching in shallow bursts.The air cracked above us—the sky splitting as the Blood Moon hit its peak. I looked up.And saw it.The gate was open. Not just some door or portal. This was ancient, raw, and alive. It was jagged light framed by black mist, spinning slowly in the heavens above the altar. And from it, something moved, a hand reached out.The forgotten god.Did
