บททั้งหมดของ Betrayal under the wolf’s moon: บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

The shadows moved with an unnatural silence, their movements fluid and almost ethereal. Mira's group fought bravely, their swords clashing with the shadows' darkness. However, their valiant efforts seemed to be getting them nowhere.The shadows were relentless, pressing the attack with a ferocity that left Mira's group gasping for breath. Luca stumbled back, his sword arm trembling with fatigue. Nathan's face was set in a grim mask, his eyes flashing with determination.Lira fought with a fierce cry, her sword slicing through the shadows with deadly precision. But even she was beginning to tire, her movements slowing as the shadows closed in.Mira fought on, her sword flashing in the fading light. She was a whirlwind of motion, her blade slicing through the shadows with deadly accuracy. Yet despite her skill, she couldn't shake the feeling that they were fighting a losing battle.As the fight raged on, Mira's group began to take damage. Luca's arm was bruised and battered, Nathan's si

My chest felt empty. Yet, I was feeling everything and nothing, all at the same time.“Yes,” Alternate Mira stared at me, blinking once, then turning back to Lira, still lying on the floor.“What do you mean, ‘Mother’?” I blurted out before I could stop myself.She turned to me again, looking startled by my words. “My mother is back at the village.” She said simply.I parted my lips, my head bending to the side. “What village? You mean the pack?”She shook her head. “No.” More confusion filtered into her eyes, before she shook it off, saying. “Look, we have to get her back there as soon as possible. She'll get the help she needs, but we don't have time to waste. I'll tell you everything you need to know.”I bit my lip, swallowing the rock lump in my throat. “Yeah, you're right! You're right. Uhhh…” My words were failing me.Luca stepped in, probably sensing my apprehension… and the reason. “How far is it? The village?”His alternate gave an answer. “About 12 hours. If we leave now, th

Lira took a step forward, daring to close the distance between she and her mother. After the second step, her mother's smile faded away and an ugly frown took it's place.Her heart skipped. “Mother…”“You're such a failure, Lira,” her mother said. “You'll never amount to anything.”She took a step back, shock breaking through her. “Not you too, mother,” She mumbled, her eyes swelling with tears. “Please… not you too. You're the only good memory I have. Don't… please…”She knew she wasn't actually talking to her mother, that this was just some manipulation yet it still hurt like it was real. Her life had always been torture, her mother was her only reason to keep living. Hearing those words from her, even as a delusion, it cut open a deep wound that had never really healed.The woman sneered. “You really think you can save the world, huh? You're hopeless, you're helpless. Your powers are nothing, and you're just a child.”Her legs wobbled, her balance tipping dangerously. “No! That's n

The alternate version of Thane was not much different from the Thane of Mira's universe. His eyes were empty, no sparkle or sign of happiness, just a forlorn gaze.He had failed too.He had failed everyone. His pack who trusted him, and his sister. Alexa had manipulated him, and he had fallen for it, almost costing his sister her life. Now, he spent every second of his life seeking redemption, and awaiting the battle call to fight and defeat Alexa, or die trying.First, he had to seek forgiveness from his sister. That might never come, but he was not going to stop trying.His hand fell to his side as a sigh escaped his lips. “Mother summoned me.” he answered.Alternate Mira sneered. “And if she didn't? You wouldn't care that you have a sister. A sister who looked up to you all her life, a sister who almost died because of you.”Thane's chest squeezed. “I’m sorry, Mira. I've been haunted every second of my life. I couldn't get myself to return, to face you.”“Listen to yourself, Thane,

Most times, it's safe to say that one's mind is one's enemy. This was one of those times. The shadows were there, alright. Their aim was to bring out the darkness in her, from past, and present, but Mira's mind had definitely been waiting for an opportunity like this.Growing up, she had slowly forgotten the day she lost her parents. She was just a child, and with the influx of several other events as she aged, the memory had slowly began to fade away. Well, maybe it was just at the back of her mind, sitting prettily and waiting for this moment to torture poor Mira.She wasn't a child this time. She was grown, yet that didn't stop her from weeping furiously as she begged her father to not let her go.“Mira, I love you. Your mother and I love you so much. We won't forget you, please, don't forget us.” Her father said, his hands cupping her cheeks.She had forgotten them somehow, and now, this was her punishment. This torture…She shook her head. “No. No, father! You can't leave me. I'l
