All Chapters of Luna's Revenge : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

SELENE“Are you sure this is going to work?” I asked, standing barefoot in the center of Tibet's room, with my arms wrapped around myself. My voice sounded small, even to me, somewhere between cautious hope and flat out dread.Tibet didn’t answer right away, he was busy dropping clumps of dried herbs into a ceramic bowl that smelled like burned mint and wet wood. I watched as he sprinkled in something that looked suspiciously like crushed eggshells and then dug around in his bag for the next ingredient like he was a man possessed.Only when he finally lit the edge of the mixture and stepped back, letting the faint bluish smoke curl up into the air, did he look at me.“To be honest?” he said, adjusting the collar of his shirt with one soot-stained hand. “I don’t think so, but it’s worth a try.”“Wow…Inspiring.”“I like to keep expectations low. That way if we fail, no one’s surprised.”The ritual we were about to do was not really designed for something like Xercer. It was a witches ri

SELENE“I think… I think I’ve figured out a way to get rid of him.”Tibet’s voice sliced through the haze in my mind like a blade, wiping away the last few wisps of mental fog clouding my thoughts.I bolted upright in bed, the rough sheets tangled around my legs, my heart lurching with a jolt of something I hadn’t felt in days…hope, and it was bright enough to burn away some of the numbness that had wrapped around me since the failed ritual.Without bothering to fix my hair or straighten my wrinkled clothes, I threw off the blankets and scrambled for the door, nearly tripping over the pile of old clothes. The mess didn’t matter. Nothing mattered except the excitement I had heard in his voice.I yanked the door open and there he was.Tibet stood in the hallway, wide eyed and slightly out of breath, his hair was a little messier than usual like he had been running his fingers through it. A book was clutched under one arm, and a few papers stuck out at odd angles like he had grabbed ever

SELENETibet’s expression softened, the excitement in his eyes giving way to another emotion. “I get it, Selene, believe me, I do. No part of this is easy, but I already said we would be careful. I'm not going to let Xercer do anything to me, and I'm sure this will work." Tibet's voice was firm and steady as he tried to reassure me.Still, my heart was not buying it. Despite the fact that I was excited about the plan earlier, the doubts were beginning to creep in. I shifted on the couch, curling my knees up to my chest. My eyes were locked on the floor, but my mind was somewhere else entirely."I know you think it will work, Tibet, and I was excited too when you told me," I admitted, finally lifting my gaze to meet his. "But now? I…I don't know anymore. Too many people have died because of Xercer, I already have too much blood on my hands and I do not want more, especially if it would be you. And if this goes wrong….”"You're scared," he said softly, stating the obvious. "I get it, Se

TIBET"Hey," I said awkwardly, rubbing the back of my neck as I walked into the office.Tristan's eyes narrowed slightly. "Hey.""I just want to talk about… everything that's been happening. If you're free to talk, that is."He studied me for a moment, that unreadable Alpha expression on his face, before he gave a small nod. That was a good enough start.I let out a breath I didn't realize I'd been holding and made a beeline for the drink cabinet. My fingers fumbled with the glasses as I pulled them out and I told myself it was just nerves…just guilt."Want a drink?" I asked.He gave another nod. Of course he wouldn't say no, I was holding up his favourite brand.With my back turned to him, I poured two glasses and reached into my pocket for the tiny vial I had stashed in there. It was warm from sitting there all day, the weight of it a constant reminder of what I was about to do.The syrup shimmered faintly inside, like liquid glass. It was a colourless and tasteless almost gel like

SELENEA knock sounded on my door, sharp and sudden, causing me to flinch despite the fact that I had been expecting it, and my heart started beating loudly in my chest like it had forgotten what we were about to do. I did not have the luxury of hesitation now, not when Tibet was waiting on the other side.Tibet was here…it was time.I opened the door and there he stood, pale under the hallway lights and his eyes sunken with exhaustion despite the fact that he should have rested last night.He did not say a word, just gave a tight nod and stepped inside as I closed the door behind him. There was not much to say anyway and neither of us was in the mood to talk. After all we had already dissected the plan until there was nothing left to poke holes in. We had gone over every word I was supposed to say, every twitch of body language Tibet had to mimic. At this point, talking would just be the same thing as us stalling, now was the time for action.Tibet slowly walked over to my couch and
