All Chapters of Betrayal under the wolf’s moon: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

I whipped my head around, and there he was.Luca was staring at me with the most unpredictable look in his eyes. I shuddered from the way he made me squirm under his gaze. When I blinked, I saw the look in his eyes switch to something else so quickly I almost thought I was hallucinating it.This one was almost consumed by hurt, it held this emptiness that came from knowing you had lost in a battle you thought you'd definitely win.I don't want to classify myself as a “battle", but I know for sure that he hasn't lost. One can only lose a battle when there's a competition. Without one, it couldn't even be called a battle.I had doubted it time and time again, but Nathan's words made me realize it. And staring into Luca’s tempting eyes at that moment only made it as clear to me as the night sky above. The realization did me no good, I almost hated myself for it. Like I said, it sucks to have your world revolve around someone you can't trust.Nathan rose to his feet first, and I was force

The sun seemed very very beautiful to me the next morningBut don't lie to yourself, Mira.I cringed at my thought. Fine! I wasn't here because I loved the sun, I just really needed to escape Luca.Don't you dare ask why.Last night had ended with me pushing him away, even after everything. I couldn't entirely place my hand around it, but a part of me was unable to fully let this go, to just forget what had happened and let it go.Which is why I'm here, standing in the same hill where he kissed me like he hadn't wretched my heart apart.“Mira," I heard a voice call.I turned abruptly to see Lira standing there. I let out a relived sigh. If that had been Luca, I would panic.“Hey!" I said.She was beneath the hill, staring at me with a blank expression."Get down here, Mira.” It wasn't a command, her voice sounded empty of any emotion.I did as she said. Effortlessly sliding down the little hill to meet her.“Hey," I said again.Staring at her up close, I realized there was indeed an

My heart skipped and stilled for the longest minute ever. And when it began beating again, I almost wished it didn't.“Luca, what the actual fuck?” I screamed the minute my legs found the ground.I turned to see an amused expression on his face, and boy, did my anger just quadruple!“You need to see your face right now," he said just before his snickers turned into full blown laughter.I clenched my fists beside me, the anger surging through my veins at that moment was quite unhealthy.“What the fuck man? How is this even funny?" I barked at him.He held his stomach as if desperately trying to keep the laugh in.“I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Mira. But this has to be the funniest thing that has happened in a while.”I let out a snort, turned and began walking away. He held my hand."Hey, wait!”Angrily, I snatched my hand from his hold, meeting him in the eyes. “You're sick!"“It was just a joke, Mira. Don't overreact now."I scoffed in disbelief. “I'm overreacting? Dude, you scared the s

The world was a hazy blur when my eyes opened. It felt like I was floating, and it took over a minute to register that I was standing.How…I looked around, another shock dawning on me when I realized that I was at our camp. It was night, the sky was devoid of both moon and stars. Even the fire was burnt out, leaving only a trail of smoke where it had been. The night was cold as well, with an eerie silence.I took in a deep breath, shuddering from the cold. I looked around again, squinting so I'd see through the darkness. I saw Lira asleep on her sheets, her small frame curled up and covered with another piece of clothing.Nathan was asleep too. His body was stiff, and there was tension visible on his face even while asleep. Luca was half awake, half asleep, constantly stirring and his eyes barely even closed.I took a minute to stare at him. It was then I realized that this was how he always slept, like he was always ready to sprang up on danger instead of it happening the other way

NARRATOR'S POVAlexa stood in front of the shattered mirror which she had refused to get rid of for no just reason. She was unusually calm, her dark eyes were lifeless but not empty.A loud knock sounded on the door, opening only when she responded.“Luna,” the voice revealed a man dressed in an armor the color of blood. His head was bowed, his hands gripping his sword stiffly.“The room is ready.” He finished.Alexa nodded without sparing him a glance. He turned and walked away, his movements monotonic.Her eyes were fixed on the orb. It was cracked here and there, yet the small pieces which remained still held an image of her prey.Mira, and that girl! And those boys who were sticking to her like glue. They would all meet their end. Tonight!With outstretched arms, she touched the mirror. Her eyes snapped shut, the concentration on her face intense.Her breathing increased, and all of a sudden, it stopped. She pulled back, her eyes opening in a painstakingly slow motion.A wicked sm
