All Chapters of Moonlit Betrayals: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LyraAfter getting a couple of outfits that would also work when my stomach starts to grow, we return home. Each time I refused to get something, Elise insisted, so I got far more than I planned on. After helping the omega to pack my things away, I go in search of Silas and find him in his office.“Hey beautiful, did you have a good time?” He smiles brightly and gets up. In one swift move, he closes the gap between us and pulls me closer, leaving a soft kiss on my forehead. I think for a moment what a lovely gesture it is, and my cheeks turn bright red.“Yes, thank you. Elise and I had a difference in opinion of what is necessary and what extravagant is, but I had fun.” I laugh when he grins at me.“As long as you didn’t come home empty-handed. I also want you to start thinking about the nursery and what you want to change. It definitely needs a new coat of paint, and I was looking at cribs online.” He grabs my hand and as soon as he is seated behind his desk, he pulls me onto his lap

LyraWe are about halfway through dinner when the alarm sounds again. Silas and I look at each other for a moment before I rush upstairs while he rushes outside. I’m pacing back and forth when the omega comes running in and closes the door.The poor girl looks so frightened that something inside of me snaps. I feel a stabbing pain shoot through my entire body and her eyes grow wide. The pain shifts from one part of my body to the next, and I’m convinced that I’m about to lose the baby.I try to tell the omega to get help, and it looks as though she understands when she finally runs screaming from the room. I take a step forward and when I see my reflection in the mirror, I feel as if I’m going to faint!I look like the werewolves, but different. I’m a bigger wolf! Is that really me?! My mind is racing, trying to figure out how, since I haven’t killed anyone, when Silas comes running into my room. His eyes are wide as he takes a deep breath and takes a step back.“Lyra, you have to cal

LyraMy mind keeps drifting to how close we’ve become while I stand there blinking at Silas. He kisses my cheek and wishes me a good night before walking down the passage to his room. I walk in to find my omega ready and waiting and before long, I’m curled up in bed.It’s all still so overwhelming. I was still processing what Eli did when I slept with Silas. Everything since then has happened so fast, it almost feels unreal. I drift off to sleep with the image of Silas in my mind and my dreams are full of things we do together.I wake up with a start in the middle of the night shouting his name after a horrible nightmare and within seconds he is beside me. Silas whispers calming words as I try to catch my breath. I realize that I didn’t shift, which is a good thing. I might just have destroyed the beautiful bedding if I did.“Did you have a bad dream?” Silas frowns as he wipes the tears from my cheeks and I nod. He pulls me into his arms just as the omega comes running with some tea a

Lyra“Will you both shut up!” I shift back to my human form and ignore the fact that I’m naked as I glare at my ex-husband and my new lover. “The only person who can make a decision about my life is me!” I growl and they both take a step back.I feel the power surge through my body, and I’m not entirely sure where it comes from. I don’t focus on it as I glare at the two men in front of me. Eli dares to take a step forward, but when he takes my hand, I rip it away.“Don’t!” I growl. “You’ve lost whatever hold you had on me the moment you decided to betray me!”“She meant nothing! I told you.” Eli whines, and it’s the first time it really bugs me.“She meant so little that you moved her right back in after I left.” I close the gap between us and growl, forcing him to take a step back. “I’m done with you, Eli! Get that through your thick skull. I don’t need your damn permission to join Silas’s pack. I am a Lycan. I don’t need anyone’s permission to do anything. Now get out of here before

LyraHelena takes us to a back room and my jaw drops. As we walk into the library, I’m shocked. The walls are covered in shelves filled with books. There are rows upon rows of cabinets on one side of the room and the other side has desks and chairs with small desk lamps.“The books have our history. The complete history that nobody else has. The cabinets have the files of each Lycan that ever lived. Which reminds me. I need to add your son.” Helena explains. I gawk as we make our way to the very last cupboard, and she pulls out three files.When we take a seat at one of the tables, I feel a huge knot start to form in the back of my throat when I open the first file and see a photograph of my parents with a baby in their arms. I just blink at it for a moment before I look at the next page.It’s so quiet that the silence is almost deafening, but I keep going while Helena and Silas watch me. After a couple of minutes, Helena disappears and a short while later, she reappears with some cof
