The chosen luna

CHAPTER 1 Selene POV I learned that pain doesn’t come from the claws or the fangs of hungry predators. It doesn’t come from the cold stares of the pack nor from the cold night pressing in around me. No, true pain is betrayal. And right now, it’s staring right at me in the face. “Selene Blackwood, you are accused of treason against Blue moon Pack,” my mate, Alpha Killian, said, his voice cold. I raised my head to look at him. The eyes that once looked at me with affection now hold nothing but ice. My body froze in place. This isn’t happening. I shook my head refusing to believe what he just said. “Treason? Killian, you know I would never—” “Silence!” He said abruptly, sending shivers down my spine. “You were found meeting with rogues beyond our borders. What other reason would you have, if not plotting against your pack?” he glared at me and I swallowed hard. I looked around to see the pack members all with hatred written on their faces. I shook my head, “That’s no

Selene POV They fully accepted me into their small group, taking me as one of them. Dara apologized for referring to me as a stray. She narrated her experience with other pack wolves and I wouldn't blame her if she had still refused to take me in.Riven was relentless, pushing me beyond my limits. Every morning, before the sun even broke through the trees, he forced me into drills — striking, dodging, countering. If I hesitated, he knocked me down. If I make mistakes, he makes me start over.“Pack life makes you soft,” he said after slamming me into the dirt for the third time that day. His breath was steady, while mine was ragged. "Out here, you have to be sharper, faster. You can't hesitate. Else you die.” He kept using the word, die, like it's some kind of situation he often encounters.I spat blood and dirt from my mouth and stood up, “I am not soft.”He smirked. “Then, prove it.”So I did.Day by day, I learned to move faster, to strike harder, to anticipate rather than react.

Selene POV Once, I was a leader, a title given by blood and tradition. I had been Killian’s Luna, standing beside him as his equal—at least, that’s what I had believed. I had led by his side, trusted his judgment, and cared for our pack as if they were my family.And they had thrown me away.Riven leaned against a fallen log, his arms crossed, his sharp eyes assessing Caleb sternly. Dara sat beside him, flipping a dagger between her fingers, staring keenly at him. Caleb knelt on the ground, watching me as if waiting for judgment.I wasn’t sure when they had started looking at me for answers.Maybe it had been the night I first stood my ground against a rogue attack. Or the day I refused to let any of us go hungry. Maybe it had been happening all along, and I had been too focused on surviving to notice.Now, survival wasn’t enough.Killian was preparing for war, and he wanted me dead.But we had a choice.I exhaled, stepping closer to the fire. “We can run,” I said, my voice even. “D

CHAPTER 7 Selene's POV The sky turned gloomy as the rain dropped in bits. We all gathered around while I stood in the middle. The twenty rogue I had gathered including I, Silas, Dara and Riven. We all prepared for the mission ahead. The mission I staged as MISSION ONE. The plan has already been drawn out and everyone knew their task. We were little compare to Killian's men, but our confidence was no match for our numbers. I had changed my name and was always on cover up to avoid been recognized. I was dead to Killian.I never know if he's people are around me. I couldn't risk telling the other rogues the truth. “Lady S,” Silas walked towards me, sending me a message through our eye contact. I had informed them to call me Lady S as that's the name I preferred. “Gather yourself around.” I ordered. They all stood up and covered their faces with black shawls. “You all know what to do, Killian's men will soon be at the river, kilometers away from here. You wait for my or

CHAPTER 9 Selene's POV I sat quietly under the tree lost in my thoughts and only turned when Riven tapped me. “I've trying to get your attention, but it seems you were thinking of something else. What's bothering you?” he asked sitting next to me. I sighed wondering if I should just escape the question or simply say I was tired. “Where do you think those twenty rogues will be? Do you think they would have been caught?” Riven shrugged hitting my shoulder lightly. “Why are you bothered about them. They made their decisions. They were arrogant looking down on you. So, I careless about them right from.” “Oh come on Riven. You shouldn't say that. They were only scared. They've been in pain, and we're not just patient enough. That's all I see. I don't blame them, they were just desperate to have revenge.” I muttered. Riven picked up a stone throwing it playfully. “So any plans? Because according to Caleb, Killian will be attacking in two days. Have you thought of a way forwa
