All Chapters of The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Melissa's POV “Mother!” A startled gasp escaped my lips, but she just shrugged. “Don't judge me, baby girl. I am a woman who always does everything to get what she wants and whoever stands in the way of me achieving my goals would have to be sent straight to hell. There are no two ways about it.” She said those words like they were the most casual things to say. I just can't believe what I heard. I can't believe that my mother was responsible for Tricia's death. It was too much to take in. Didn't the autopsy report state she took a dangerous poison that killed her? Does that mean that the reports were fabricated to cover up the true cause of her death? “Wait a minute, mother, what about the autopsy report…..” I trailed off and she scoffed. “Isn't it obvious? I did what needed to be done. Those reports were fabricated by me. I couldn't let your father know that Tricia was murdered. Therefore, I paid the doctors to have it done” “Wow!” I mouthed in disbelief and she shot me a

Lenora's POV I sat curled up on the cushioned chair of my balcony, my fingers lightly gripping the edges of the book I had gotten from the library. My favorite book by my favorite author, Marietta. The words on the pages blurred as my mind drifted, replaying the events of yesterday. Heat rushed to my cheeks as the memory – Alpha Zade, standing bare before me, his chiseled physique full on display. I could vividly remember how I had turned on my heels and fled faster than I had ever moved, even though the image had already burned itself into my mind. And now, as if summoned by my thoughts, I heard the door open and just then, I heard the unmistakable sound of footsteps entering into my room. My heart leaped into my throat. Even without turning, I already knew who it was. Alpha Zade. My powerful mate. I stiffened in my seat, gripping the book as if it could shield me from the presence of the only man who had been occupying my thoughts since yesterday. I didn't dare look

Lenora's POV I stared at Alpha Zade's wrists in shock, my breath hitching in my throat as a thin line of blood welled up from the shallow cut he had made. “Where is your first aid kit?” I asked, but he shook his head as he placed his hands over mine. “You don't have to….” He started, but I shook my head. “Where is it?” I asked in a firm but polite tone. “It's in the bathroom. The biggest cabinet over the towel rack.” Immediately, I turned on my heels as I walked into the bathroom. Since he had described it for me, it didn't take long before I found it. And shortly, I was in the room with him. I placed the box on the table and quickly brought out everything I needed. My hands trembled as I reached for the bandage on his desk, my mind racing with different thoughts. I couldn't believe that he had gone to such lengths to prove his commitment to me. The sight of his blood, which was spilled for my sake, was overwhelming. “You didn't have to do that, my Alpha.” I whispered i

Lenora's POV The evening air was cool and quiet as I sat with Lucia on a bench. We didn't talk and the silence felt awkward. I had things I wanted to say, but I couldn't. The mean things the warriors said still hurt me and I didn't want to bother Lucia with my problems. Lucia had already done so much for me – confronting them, defending me — and I didn't want to burden her further with my pain. “See you later, Lucia,” I finally said, breaking the awkward silence. My voice sounded hollow, even to my own ears. It was better to go back to my room alone than to sit here and risk boring her with my thoughts. “Is there a problem, my Luna?” She asked, her tone laced with genuine concern. Her eyes searched mine, but I quickly shook my head, forcing a smile onto my lips. How could I explain the storm raging within me? The guilt, the anger and the grief. It was all too much to put into words. “Not really, Lucia. I'm just feeling sleepy,” I lied, the smile on my face feeling more lik

Zade's POV “What is she talking about?” My mother's voice cut through the air, her sharp eyes locking onto mine. I could see the confusion and suspicion in her gaze as she stared at me in close scrutiny. At that moment, I wished I could silence Talia forever and send her straight to the hell she deserved. She was really getting on my nerves. Talia walked forward, unaware of the tension in the air with a calm and self-assured attitude that was really annoying. “Yes, Ophelia,” she said, her voice dripping with a pretentious smile. “Zade and I are in a romantic relationship. In fact, we are almost done with our engagement ceremony. Zade can't be with any woman except me. That bitch…” she paused as she glanced quickly at Lenora, “Should leave. Her presence is not needed here, because, I, the rightful Luna is here to take my place as Zade's Luna” “Tell your mother about us, Zade.” She said as she reached for my hand, but I jerked away as if her touch burned. “Don't you dare
