All Chapters of Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Elena POV The moment I stepped out of my room and started down the silent corridor, a slight chill raced across my skin. Even before I reached Sophia’s chamber, I could feel something shifting in the air, as though fate had finally begun to rearrange the pieces of its long-awaited plan. Somewhere deep inside me, I had always known this day would come. From the very first second I heard what happened in the Black Mountain Pack, I knew Dino would come for her. It wasn’t just a wild guess, it was the kind of certainty that came from instincts sharpened by the blood of an Alpha and the eyes of a sister. Still, seeing him standing there waiting felt strangely surreal. I exhaled quietly and placed my palm against Sophia’s closed door before pushing it open. She was sitting on the edge of her bed, her hair falling loosely around her shoulders, staring at nothing in particular. There was exhaustion in her eyes, a weariness that reminded me of how long and dreadful her journey to this

Elena POV The moment Dino’s voice travelled softly through the corridor, asking Sophia to be his Luna and rule side by side with him, a strange kind of stillness settled inside my chest. I had signalled Lykan for us to leave and allow the two lovebirds to enjoy their private moment, but my feet betrayed me. They wouldn’t move. Every fibre in me wanted to stay to listen to savour the fragile beginning of something so pure. Lykan’s fingers brushed against mine lightly as we both stood by the doorway, secretly eavesdropping. We exchanged a stolen glance like two mischievous children, silently agreeing that this was too beautiful a moment to walk away from. My heart beat slower and then faster again when I saw Sophia’s lips tremble as Dino spoke the life-changing words. I want you to be my Luna, Sophia, Dino had said, his voice hoarse with sincerity. Stand with me and rule by my side. The air thickened almost sacred. For a breathless second, Sophia was stunned. Then her head bowed a

Lykan POV The sun was already dipping behind the towers when I took Dino out for a walk. The air carried that gentle evening breeze that often swept through the Black Mountain Pack, calm yet warning. Somehow, the silence of it reminded me that peace, no matter how thick in the air, always came with a shadow behind it. Dino walked beside me, hands tucked behind his back. His eyes were filled with a kind of wonder I recognized immediately, the kind only someone in love carries, that soft look of certainty and fear all at once. This is really beautiful, he said, glancing around at the training fields, the stone-walled armory, the watchtower standing proudly in the distance. I nodded. It is. But beauty in places like this only lasts because we protect it fiercely. Never forget that. He looked at me, a small smile at the corner of his lips. Thanks a lot for everything, Lykan. For letting me stay, for the advice. I kept my eyes forward. It’s nothing, Dino. That’s why we are here for

Lilian POV The night had never felt this long. I stood by the tall window of the council chamber, my fingers wrapped so tightly around the folds of my gown that I could barely feel my hands anymore. The torches on the walls were shining restlessly, casting shadows that danced across the stone floor and made the room look far bigger than it was. Normally, I found comfort in their quiet glow but tonight, they only made me more uneasy. Dino should have reached the Black Mountain Pack by now. That was the thought pounding in my chest for hours. It refused to leave me, no matter how many times I reassured myself that he was no longer the carefree boy who once hid behind my knees. He was a strong man now, determined, brave, and capable. But a mother’s heart never forgets what it once tried so hard to protect. I turned away from the window and began pacing the length of the chamber again. The faint echo of my footsteps did little to drown out the storm inside me. Every time my ey

DINO'S POV As we rode down the slopes of the Black Mountain, I felt a sense of peace settle over me, a feeling I hadn’t known in a long time. The air was crisp, the sun stretching its golden arms across the sky, and beside me rode the woman I had risked everything for.... Sophia, my Luna. The one that the moon goddess herself had blessed me with. Looking at her now, I felt that all the scars I carried from battle before emerging as the Northern range pack Alpha, both physical and emotional were worth it. It prepared me for a day when I will have to fight, not on the battlefield of war, but on the battlefield of the heart, where love meets love. Her presence beside me, her laughter carried by the breeze, and the shy glances she gave me were all the reward I needed. Looking at her made memories flash right before my face, all ma'am Lillian's prayer of getting a beautiful Lady was all coming to pass. Sophia, I said softly, nudging my horse closer to hers. She turned to me, her smile
