Lahat ng Kabanata ng Betrayal; Savage Luna: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Nora Wyatt woke feeling light and refreshed. Sunlight cut through the sheer curtains and warmed her bare skin. The scent of expensive linen and Brad’s cologne lingered in the air. It was a new day—a lovely one—and she was set to have fun, just as she always did. She lived a healthy, carefree life. This was how she'd been living for the past five years, ever since she'd left those who had once meant everything to her. People had proven to be nothing more than a betrayal waiting to happen. So she'd chosen solitude instead—a life with no one to bother her, no complaints from others, no disputes to settle. This was the kind of life that soothed her restless soul. Life was simply vanity, after all. If the people she'd loved, trusted, and protected could turn against her in an instant over fabricated lies, then anything was possible. Anything could be taken from her. That's why she lived life on her own terms. Her sex life was no exception. It was entertaining and always on her schedule

The meeting room in the palace was heavy with tension. Hunter sat at the head of the table, the Alpha King, while nine elders surrounded him in a semicircle. The atmosphere crackled with unspoken words, and he could already feel a headache forming. The way their eyes sparkled with barely concealed intent told him everything he needed to know—they were here to nag him about something, and he wasn't going to like it. “Another lecture about finding my true mate or a second mate,” Hunter muttered, rubbing his temple, his gray eyes darkening with clear irritation. How could he look for a second mate when he hadn't even rejected his first one? She'd practically begged him to release her, to let her go, but he'd refused. Part of him had still loved her then. Part of him—selfishly—had hoped she would somehow stay, despite everything he'd done to her. "Your Highness, it's been three months since the news about the beast's sudden movement spread throughout the kingdom," one of the elders fina

Nora didn't believe she would be back here so soon. After she'd refused to return home with Beta Maverick a few weeks ago, these damn werewolves had made sure to frustrate her life to get her back. They showed up at every one of her events and meetings, and her mother even went as far as threatening to take her own life. Can you imagine that? Nora had to quickly organize her things, especially assigning her men to oversee her business until she returned or contacted them. It wasn't easy leaving her men either, especially the clingy Steven. These are men Nora trusts with her life. How could they betray her when she has them under her control? ‘Bite me once and I become wise’, Nora chuckled as she put on her sunglasses before getting down from the car. Maverick and his entourage had come to pick her up from the airport, and it took them almost a day and night to get here. She was so tired at this point, and equally not ready to dabble in politics. She would just take h

As Nora returned to her old chambers, her mind was locked in an internal argument with Leah, her wolf. "He smells different," Nora insisted. "Before I left five years ago, Hunter had smelled like cedarwood with amber—warm and distinctive. But now the amber seems to have faded." "You're wrong," Leah countered through their mental link. "He still smells exactly the same to me. You're just irritated by your hatred for him." "Whatever," Nora shrugged, deciding to drop the conversation. Obviously, her wolf still had some softness for its mate. Her wolf was being stubborn, and she had more pressing concerns. The room was exactly as she'd left it. Every detail, every memory, every piece of furniture remained untouched. As her eyes scanned the familiar space, she found herself drifting backward into the past. Memories of happier times threatened to surface. She shook her head sharply, dismissing them. There was no room for nostalgia now. She needed to refresh and sleep. A run th

Beta Maverick was panting heavily as he morphed into his human form and bowed slightly at his Alpha King."She really did call you over," Hunter chuckled in spite of himself. "Alpha, what's wrong? Luna sounded worried through the pack bond," Maverick said. He took one look at Hunter and saw that he was perfectly fine. So why had Luna called him over with such urgency?"Nora was worried about me?" Hunter couldn't believe what he'd just heard. "How many times have I warned you not to call her that in front of me?"Maverick bowed once again. "I'm sorry, Your Highness.""Always apologizing. I just can't get through to you." Hunter shook his head in irritation as he turned to grip the terrace railings, his fingers so tight his knuckles turned white."I can feel the emotions from our mate. Leah's heart is shattered," Magnus whimpered."Get over it, Magnus. The fact that their hearts are hurt doesn't mean they will ever accept us."At this point, Hunter was getting pissed at his wolf. He
