บททั้งหมดของ I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Author's POVThe king kept cursing under his breath as he thought of the way to get Kael out of the mess he had put himself in. Then a thought crossed his mind. Since when did Damian start to care about Elara? He knew all about Damian schemes. He knew how he took over the throne and the company. Was he trying to act like some filial husband now? He had raised Damian like his own blood and he dared bite the finger that fed him. No. He should be grateful to him for the rest of his life.“But Damian,” Alaric growled, “locking up my son over a woman?” His voice dripped with disdain. “That bastard dares to side with Elara over bloodlines and loyalty? After everything I have done for him?"He turned toward his steward. “Send him a message. Let him know that my son mustn't spend another night in that prison. Don't forget to remind him of what would happen if he fails to comply."His eyes glimmered with menace as he added. “Let him know I will tell the entire world how he got the throne. How h

Elara's POVBefore he could try to say more, the door opened again.“Elara,” Mother’s voice came in a rush, her face glowing with tired hope. In her hands was a small clay vial wrapped in silver cloth. “The potion. The healer gave it to me this morning. He said it must be taken before sunrise.”I looked at her, then at the vial, and for the first time, a flicker of hope sparked in me—but it was quickly buried under the weight of everything else. Ethan was missing and right now I had bigger concerns. “Mother, I have to go. Ethan, he's missing. I think something happened to him.”She stepped forward, her eyes pleading. “Please, just take it first. Then you can go. You said you're tired—how can you help him if you collapse along the way?”She was right. Dammit, she was fucking right. I needed to stay strong. I needed my strength, my sharp senses—everything working perfectly.I nodded and took the vial from her hands. It smelled like earth and crushed sunflowers. I threw it in one gulp, w

Elara's POV“I didn’t think you had it in you to come back,” Lyra continued, her lips curling into a smirk. "After all the humiliation and embarrassment. You have developed a thick skin, haven't you?"I looked her up and down, unaffected by her words. “I’m not back. If I were, you wouldn’t be able to stand the heat, Lyra darling. The moment I come back here, get ready to burn."Burn? Lyra’s expression darkened, her heart racing with fear at my words. And from the way she sounded, she knew I wasn't bluffing.I didn't give her the time to recover or react. Instead, I took a step closer, my tone sharper now. “Tell me, Lyra… did you know about Ethan?”The fear in Lyra increased and she quickly raised an eyebrow, her expression looked like she was just hearing about Ethan's disappearance for the first time. “What about him?”“He’s missing,” I replied coldly. “And I have a feeling you’re involved. You and Kael, I wonder what's happening between you both.A faint flicker crossed Lyra’s face,

Elara’s POVToday, I felt warmer, stronger. I didn’t feel the usual cold or weakness like it had the past few days. I could practically feel the renewed energy surging through me. It was exhilarating, my wolf was awakened and I could feel my abilities returning.Maybe it was the potion. Yes...it should be the potion. Or maybe… just maybe I was healing. I might have found favor at the sight of the Moon Goddess.“Your vitals are stronger than ever,” the doctor said with a gentle smile, handing me the printed report. “It’s unbelievable. The pregnancy is stable, and we might not even go through the procedure to deliver the baby. Your body is recovering at a miraculous rate. Whatever remedy you’ve been using—it’s working, Luna. If it continues at this rate, then maybe the cancerous cells too might reduce," he added, his voice alight with hope. "This is nothing short of a miracle."I stared at the paper in disbelief. For so long, I thought I was losing everything. But now… there was hope.

Elara's POVThe guards at the dungeon entrance stiffened the moment they saw me approach. Fear etched on their faces as they exchanged glances. But I was unbothered.“I need to see him,” I said. “Now.”One of them who seemed to be courageous enough stepped forward, blocking my way. “Luna, we have orders from Alpha Damian. No one goes in without clearance.”“Move,” I growled, voice deadly low.They didn’t. My hand tightened around the dagger. I took a step forward, chest heaving.“I said. Move.”Still, they didn’t budge. They didn't care if I lunged at them or not. They were willing to die. Damian must have issued them a strict warning never to let me in at all costs.Then, behind me, a deep familiar voice broke the tension. “Elara. Stop.”Damian. I turned slowly, not bothering to hide the fury on my face. “He’s dead,” I spat. “Ethan is dead and I know Kael had something to do with it. And you’re protecting him?”“I’m not protecting anyone,” Damian said quietly, approaching me. “I’m tr
