All Chapters of My mate's betrayal: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

SeleneThe day of the Festival of Destiny finally arrived.Everyone in the Eclipse Pack was excited for such an event because it meant integration, money coming in, and fun. The younger ones were the ones with more expectations than anyone else about the festival, the middle-aged ones enjoyed manning the stands, and the older ones quietly helped out, letting the joy of the youngsters overflow.For a moment I remembered the parties we used to have in Crescent, the fairs and recognitions we gave to the most important people, the prizes we gave out to the community, and the traditional games that took place.It felt the same, but it was completely different.In Crescent, each and every one of my decisions was questioned by the council, whereas here I just had the freedom to present, and people had the opportunity to listen and choose. There was a blind trust regarding me that had nothing to do with the fact that I was the Alpha's mate but rather was related to what I could bring to the t

SeleneThe Festival of Destiny turned out to be an absolute success. Unlike the opening day, I was helping out in the control tower.I sat next to Gabrielle watching the on-site cameras, so I had to keep an eye out for strange movements and report them, and the guards had to go and take a look.It was a very trusting job, and I won't deny that I was surprised.Bella looked like a weather vane as she whirled back and forth through the festival, while Ralf checked the crews, and Marco and Izan were the eyes on the outskirts. They had foiled an attempt at a practical joke at the festival, so they had taken the whole thing very seriously.I smiled every time I saw them.What I didn't expect was for Jhosep to show up on the final night.He took several healers to celebrate and came up to the control tower to say hello and leave us food. Everyone was immediately attentive to him to an odd point, so I frowned at that.Gabrielle noticed my curiosity and approached me.“This reminds him so mu

SeleneI didn't leave Izan's room until I put together a basic poultice with herbs I found in the kitchen to help diminish the beginning of the scars. He was embarrassed, and I just thought of all the ways I could change the concoction to enhance it and change the duration of the effect.It wasn't that I didn't trust Jhosep; I was sure the man had done everything to help his grandson. However, I knew that many times old-school healers didn't take as many risks when it came to preparing something new.At this point in the curse, and with my appearance, Izan needed something more radical.That was my thought the next morning.I had woken up too late; I knew when the kitchen was preparing lunch, and Bella saw me with a frown.“Are you okay, Selene?” She asked, and I nodded; I didn't feel like explaining anything.“Yes, did Izan leave early?” I asked carefully.“He's in his office chatting with his grandfather, Marco, and Ralf,” Bella said, and I sighed in relief.She noticed my change bu

SeleneThe magnificent sanctuary of the North was the ideal place for any healer.I had heard Raimon speak of this place, and that was what had inspired me to enact the Healer's Academy. However, Raimon's descriptions had been too simple for the majesty of Eclipse Sanctuary.The place was what I wanted for Crescent and the entire South.The Southern region needed quality healers and enough people to meet its needs. After the war, even though we were not isolated like the North, we had problems with relocation and distance.The bureaucracy was killing people's needs, and wanted to minimize it.I hoped that the sanctuary plan would eventually unfold in the South.And perhaps my wish was so clear that Jhosep looked at me seriously.“Was the idea for the Healer's Academy in the South yours or Raimon's?” asked Izan's grandfather, and I blushed.“It was mine,” I admitted with embarrassment. “We had very few healers; people didn't want to become a healer because it meant traveling East or We

IzanI looked at the mess the creatures made.I didn't know what kind of monsters they were, but I knew they were more than a problem. They were a fucking abomination.“I'm amazed by the headshot person,” Ralf said. “They were perfect shots. There were no mistakes, and if there were, they weren't noticeable. Are you sure the shots came from the same direction?”“Yes,” said one of the healers still standing.“Go, check everything to make a meeting,” I immediately told my inner circle.Gabrielle nodded, so she walked with haste, and Marco didn't hesitate to follow her; Ralf was the one who looked at me with a frown.“What do you think about it?” asked my Delta gently.“I think this is a creation of the vampires,” I said confidently. “I don't know how they managed to create this, but we need to have a general council meeting to figure out what actions to take. We don't know if these monsters are just a test.”“Vampires are not supposed to be a problem anymore,” Ralf said. “The general di
