Semua Bab I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Elara's POV“Lyra and Kael are having an affair. And the baby is not yours.“My fingers hovered around the send button, but then I deleted it. I shouldn't tell him something this serious over a message. I know Damian. He might be irrational in his actions and ruin everything we've worked hard for.“Let's meet in your study. Coming over now.“I typed back instead, and quickly changed out of my night gown into something more decent. Then I hid the manila envelope inside my robe.I stepped out of the room and made my way towards the study. I stood by the door for a minute longer, exhaling a shaky breath that managed to calm my nerves a little and then twisted the doorknob. He was standing tall by the window facing the pack house with his arms folded over his chest.Without a word, I approached him. My heart racing, each step heavier than the last.“Funny how I was ten then… and I had no memories of the Cadman pack except the colour of the warriors uniform,” he said in a low voice withou

Damian's POVThe room stilled. The picture and paper fell off my hands. I don't know for how long l was out. Seconds? Minutes? It felt like eternity. Then my chest tightened with immense pain.The child I had looked forward to it's arrival is not mine? The same child that I have overlooked all her crimes for? Even when she killed Elara's baby, I acted blind to it all because I was waiting for her birth the baby safely before she pays for her crime.“No….. this can't be true, Elara,” I said, shaking my head frantically as though that would somehow deny the reality of what is unfolding before me. “It's true, Damian. That baby isn't yours.“My legs grew weak and I stumbled backward to the wall, then slid down and sat on the cold bare floor, my mind spiraling with unrestrained rage.Not only because the baby isn't mine. But because of how much she's manipulated with this baby. Because of this baby, the Rogue king manipulated me into releasing Kael for Ethan's murder even when he knew the

Author's POVBut just as the blade descended toward her chest, adrenaline rushed through her veins. Elara’s hand shot out blindly. Her fingers wrapped around the base of the flower vase on the nightstand beside her bed. With all the strength she could muster, she brought it crashing down against his skull.Crack!The vase shattered.The assassin staggered back with a hiss, and Elara screamed, her voice ripping through the silence.“GUARDS!”Heavy footsteps thundered down the hallway.Panicked, the assassin turned and bolted. He dove toward the window, smashing through it just as the door burst open.Damian and four guards charged in, weapons drawn. Two of the guards, jumped out of the window and chased after the assassin.Lyra was just a few steps behind, confusion written all over her face. “What’s happening?”Elara was on the floor, breathing heavily, her robe slightly torn, her fingers still trembling as she clutched the edge of the dresser.Damian rushed to her side, kneeling besi

Author's POVAdam bowed and left swiftly, blending into the day like a shadow.That night, the palace slept under the illusion of peace.But beneath it, war brewed.Elara and Damian met in the secret passageway that led out of the palace walls. Dressed in black and moving in silence, they passed through dark tunnels carved centuries ago for escaping royalty.When they emerged from the other side, the moon was high, and the wind sharp.Elder Gregory’s mansion loomed ahead—ancient, grand, and shrouded in silence.One by one, the Elders arrived, ushered in with whispered greetings. They sat around the long mahogany table in Gregory’s council room, their expressions a mix of confusion and unease.They had not expected that the duo would be together especially as they were still seething from Lyra's enthronement. Elder Seraphina was barely holding back from storming out of the room, because of Damian's presence. But out of respect for Elara, she decided to stay back and listen to whatever

Author's POV Kael snarled and struggled against the cuffs. “You bastards! You think you’ve won?! I’ll kill every one of you!”A guard punch him on his face, trying to silence him. Damian stopped him with a single flick of his hand. “Let him speak,” Damian said coolly, “So everyone can hear the monster for themselves.”Kael’s voice became louder, more venomous. “This pack was never yours, Damian! You’re a weak bastard sitting on a throne that doesn’t belong to you. I’ll take it back. My father and I will burn this place to the ground!”“You’ll rot before that ever happens,” Elara hissed, stepping closer. Her eyes was blazing with unrestrained anger. “And if you think I won’t personally end you if you try again, then you truly don’t know me.”Then she turned towards Lyra. “And you, I promise to make you pay for what you did to my child,” she spat, through gritted teeth. “You'll suffer so much that, you'll beg me to kill you yet I won't because that would be too merciful.“Lyra's eyes
