All Chapters of I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Elara's POV He looked at me squarely, his eyes simmering with rage. "Kael’s been released." The silence in the room was suffocating the moment Gomez dropped those words. Kael? Released? No..... That made no sense at all. That was arrant nonsense. I blinked at him repeatedly like I misheard him or maybe he was the one who had made a mistake. Then my hand flew to my mouth as I laughed bitterly. "Nice joke, Gomez. Try harder next time." He has to been kidding, right? Because that is the only thing that explains his claims. But Gomez didn’t laugh. He didn’t even smile. His face was grave. No, he was angry even. Realisation hit me like a sledgehammer and my laugh died abruptly. He continued. "I heard it myself. From inside the palace. Damian released him," he said. "He reinstated him as Beta. He even apologized to him... publicly." The world spiralled into chaos. Released him! Reinstated him! Apologise to him! This was absurd. That can't be. That can't fucking be. My body was tre

Lyra’s POV After Kael's departure, it felt like the room walls were closing in on me. I sat on the edge of my bed, my hands trembling so hard I could barely keep my fingers together. Everything inside me screamed at me to run. To disappear. To escape whatever punishment Kael had obviously planned out for me tonight. But deep down inside me, I knew it was pointless. Useless even. Kael was everywhere and anywhere. He was watching me like a CCTV camera and he knows every steps I take. The guards who patrolled the palace halls? They weren't just guarding the palace— most of them were working for Kael. That bastard had more loyal servants than Damian, the king did . His eyes were in the shadows, in the silence, in every goddamn corner I turned. I could feel it. They were like invisible hands tightening around my throat. Hours passed and I was still pacing around like a lunatic, biting down at my lower lip until I tasted blood again. Maybe... maybe I could find a way out? Maybe if I s

Kael’s POV After carefully scanning around the palace hallways to make sure I wasn't followed, I made my way to the parking lot and the car engine hummed low under my grip as I drove through the dark roads leading to the old warehouse. Something felt... wrong. Something felt off. All through the drive, I kept catching flashes of headlights in my rearview mirror, just barely too far away to make out who was tailing me. My jaw tightened as I pressed my hands harder on the accelerator, weaving through the back alleys, taking sharp turns at random to lose sight of whoever the hell was trying to be a shadow. I couldn’t afford to be caught, especially not tonight. Not when every damn person, Damian, the Elders and even the pack members still had their filthy eyes glued to me, waiting for me to fuck up. Waiting for me to slip and then use whatever evidence they could get against me. Never. That was never going to happen. Tonight wasn’t supposed to happen. I knew I wasn't supposed to

Elara's POVI ran out of the palace which had become more suffocating than ever. And I didn’t stop running until I was well away from the palace. Away from those guards. Away from him. The man who had betrayed me yet and again.When I reached the outskirts of town, my legs gave out but thankfully there was a tree around and I collapsed against it, my body sliding down the rough bark until I was sitting in the dirt like some broken thing. I didn't care it was a bare floor, I just sat there, my chest rising and falling with rage.Then a sob tore from my throat before I could stop it, violent and ugly.I pressed my clammy forehead to my knees, fists knotted in my lap, trembling so hard it felt like my bones might shatter into pieces in the next minute.He chose Kael over Ethan. He chose a murderer over his own pack, over his own people. And over me. I knew I wasn't much of a relevance to him but I hadn't expected him to do this to me again.How could I have been so stupid? How could I ha

Elara's POV"Everything, Luna," she said. "Are you willing to go that far for a common guard?"A common guard? Ethan was no common guard. He was a friend. A family. And I was a bit pissed that she referred to him like that.I didn't want to snap at her and there was no reason to correct her so I just stared at her for a long, long moment, watching as her red painted lips were curling into a disgustingly annoying smirk.Clara. My old assistant. The last person I ever expected to see again, much less involved in something this deep.Clara has always been meek. Quiet as if she never existed but now this.... I wouldn't have believed her, right. But the mischievous look on her face gave her away. She wasn't always as innocent as she looked. Maybe she has never been and I have just been blind to see that.I shoved that aside, concentrating on the issue that really mattered."You," I breathed, my mind scrambling for answers. "How... How do you know everything about Ethan?"Clara tilted her h
