Elara’s POV

The gate slammed shut behind me with a thud that echoed straight through my chest.

I stood still for a moment, like maybe the weight of everything would hit me slower if I just didn’t move. But it didn’t. It hit hard, fast, and cold—just like the way the council had looked at me when they ordered my banishment.

The wind tugged at the edges of my cloak as if trying to pull me back inside, but I didn’t turn around. I couldn’t. If I looked back, I’d fall apart. And right now, falling apart would be a luxury I couldn’t afford.

My fingers curled into fists as I stepped forward.

“Elara!”

I turned too quickly at the sound of Andrew’s voice. His boots kicked up dirt as he ran toward me from the side path behind the training fields. I didn’t want to see the desperation on his face, but I did. I saw it—and worse, I felt it.

“Please,” he said, out of breath. “Don’t leave.”

I swallowed hard. “I’ve already been banished, Andrew. It’s not like I’m going out for a stroll.”

“I know,” he

  • 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

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 221

    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

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 220

    Elara’s POVThe second I stepped into the heart of the pack grounds, something felt… off. It clung to the air like smoke. Thick. Unnatural. Unsettling.Andrew walked slightly ahead of me, tense, shoulders squared like he expected an ambush after what just happened.Michael and Lora flanked us, both on high alert. But I felt it before anyone said a word. The stares. The way conversations died the moment we appeared. Eyes followed us. No—followed me.My stomach twisted.“What the hell is going on?” Michael muttered under his breath.I caught a glimpse of Greg just outside the council building. He wasn’t pacing or yelling like I expected—he stood stock-still. Pale. Eyes glued to the courtyard.Then I saw why.Standing tall in the middle of the crowd, like queens returning from exile, were Rhea and Mara.Not in chains.Not guarded.Free.My breath caught. “What the—”Andrew stormed forward, voice sharp as a blade. “What the fuck is this?”All eyes snapped to him. But Rhea didn’t flinch. Sh

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 219

    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
