Lahat ng Kabanata ng Luna Awakening - The Rebirth of a Warrior's Heart: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Liam’s POV Adira had fallen asleep in my arms, and I couldn’t help but stare at her while she peacefully slept. It was the first time I had ever stayed with a she wolf afterwards and it felt so nice to have this first with my mate. Now after being with Adira, I felt like all the other she wolves before her meant nothing and a part of me wishes now that I would have waited like she had. The connection between the two of us is undeniably a gift from the Moon Goddess and I was not going to deny this gift that she bestowed upon us. Decades have passed since a mate bond has been gifted from her and for her to gift us, I felt honored. As I look at her now, I wonder how I ever thought that I could stand by and let another make her his. I know at the Mating Ceremony that I now may suffer the consequences of taking another’s betroth and this may cause problems for me and my pack, but once I can prove that the Moon Goddess gifted us with a mate bond, I was sure the elders would side in my

Liam’s POV Lyra took Adira back to her room to get ready for the Mating Ceremony while I gathered my warriors to inform them that I had taken Adira as my mate last night and explained to them about the mating bond and that the Moon Goddess had blessed us with. None of my warriors questioned what I had told them but instead they all congratulated me on finding our Luna and said that our pack has been blessed and they too hope to be blessed like me at the Mating Ceremony today. The only problem was that our pack needed to be on high alert in case the elders didn’t accept the union between Adira and me and that would limit their abilities to socialize with the other unmated wolves. Knowing that this was the case, I decided to call in some extra protection and Blaze who was to show today was going to be joined with some of our mated warriors of our pack, for added protection. Everything was now put in place and there were only now hours that stood in front of us before I presented A

Liam’s POV What the hell was going on? This was getting even more confusing to me. The girls at the restaurant had called Adira, Aira, and she was the one to be betrothed to this Alpha Zane. But standing here now hearing him say that he had chosen Adira to be his mate made no sense. Plus, there was the fact that the she wolf on the stage looked identical to my mate. There was no doubt in my mind that the two of them were related and I knew that we had found my mate’s past that her wolf was keeping from her. Alpha Zane began to leave the stage as whispers began in the room and I overheard one of the she wolves say, “I thought Aira said she was to be mated to the Alpha.” Something was wrong here and I was determined to get to the bottom of this. Releasing Adira from my arms, I look at Blaze and say, “Don’t take your eyes off her. I need to speak with Alpha Zane.” Adira gave me a look of surprise that I was leaving her in his care but I didn’t want her present for what I was about

Liam’s POV My Adira didn’t hesitate to get into the ring, but Alpha Zane’s Adira did, and it was apparent that she was the twin sister that he spoke of, Aira. It all made sense now who had trained Adira to fight, but the question was why did her wolf bring her to my pack lands and what was her wolf hiding from her? “Adira, get in the ring and show his Luna what I have taught you.” Alpha Zane now says to whom I am now assuming is Aira. “I won’t do that. There are too many eyes around here and if I am caught, we will both pay the price for that.” She now says to him and I can clearly see that is an excuse, not to get into the ring. “What’s the matter Aira? Are you worried that Adira would kick your imposter ass?” Lyra now says taunting her. “I’m going to kill you!” Alpha Zane’s Adira said as she leaped towards Lyra with her claws out, but Alpha Zane was quick to step in front of Lyra to protect her and I could clearly see that the mate bond that the Moon Goddess had given them

Liam’s POV My warriors surround us not letting the guards near us. I knew that me being here might cause a bit of a problem. Now I see that Nightshade was never going to be accepted by the council of elders because we don’t conform to their beliefs and laws set by them. But I had hoped when my parents signed me up for this, that things had changed, but as I can see now nothing had changed. Nightshade was an outcast and we would always remain an outcast as long as the elders controlled everything. The Mating Ceremony was just one of the many things that they controlled and I was done allowing them to dictate everything. “As you can see, I came prepared for your decision.” I told them as they were all now surrounded by my warriors, both male and female. “Yes, Nightshade has never conformed to your ways, and we have kept the values of our original ancestry. I will not abide by your rules, and neither will my pack. My members are free to be with who they choose not who you decide is
