Semua Bab LUNAR LEGACY : Bab 61 - Bab 70

“Are you ready for this?” Darius asked me one morning as I sat in front of the mirror and stared into the image reflected back at me.All I saw was a woman who had been through a whole lot. A woman who didn’t get the chance to grow up in a healthy environment with a family filled with love to give her.But even with all of that, I still saw a woman who survived. I saw someone who refused to give up through everything that had happened. Someone who was still pushing past all of the things my fate had to throw at me.“I don’t know,” I answered in all honesty. I had called for a gathering with all creatures. The witches had acknowledged that they would be there, but I didn’t hear anything back from Smith and the vampires.“I really have no idea what to do,” I said. “I don’t think the vampires will be there because I’ve already made them enemies without meaning to. And now that I’m about to revoke my help towards the witches, they’ll also think I’ve made them enemies as well. This isn’t g

“Lucas… Tracy…” The rest of the names got caught up in my throat as I watched them all step out of their hiding places one by one.It felt like a betrayal to myself to still feel almost the same way I felt for them after finding out the truth about them. They were the ones who betrayed me by lying to me my whole life. I should have hated them, but I didn’t.“You’ve come a long way, Zara.” My entire body froze when I heard the voice of the person who had trained me to be a soldier. The one person who had found strength in me when nobody else did.“Gray?” I called out as I finally saw him standing in the midst of the witches. Aera, his mate, stood right beside him with a look of disappointment on her face.“But unfortunately, you’ve lost your way. You’re not doing things the way you should. This isn’t how I taught you,” he said. “You’re betraying more people by the day.”I furrowed my brows at him, surprised at his audacity to act disappointed in me after what he had done to me for year

“You don’t want to play this game, Zara,” Janet said to me. Her hands were outstretched, but not in a manner that seemed like she wanted to plead with me. She was threatening me subtly, and I could feel it.“Then tell everyone with you to stand back.” I looked between her and Grey as I said that, my way of letting them know that I was talking to both of them.“You will have to agree to our terms before I do that,” she replied.There was a stubborn look on her face, one that told me she wasn’t willing to back down for me just like that. She seemed to have something up her sleeves if the threatening winds which were in my control didn’t faze her.“I already told you, the only people who have access to me are the vampires. As for you and the rogues you’ve called all the way out here to disrupt the peace of the pack, you can all return to where you came from.”As I saw that the witches and the rogues still stood there with their leaders, I had to make one final threat before I would do th

The last time I had to look up at the moon goddess before what would be a head-on collision between me and Janet, I did. I glanced up at the dark sky for only a moment so that Janet wouldn’t notice and catch me off guard.“Please, help me,” I said as quietly as I could.“I’m not going to wait for you.” As soon as Janet said that, the tip of her wand glowed right at me with a mean shade of green. Just then, the ground around me rumbled and I immediately knew what was coming.Vines shot out of the ground, but they weren’t ordinary vines. These ones had spikes and thorns all around them and were seeping with what could only be poison, and I was lucky to tell that they were coming and dodge as fast as I could as they came at me.Almost as if I knew what to do and was being led purely by intuition, I raised my hand and formed a slicing motion in the direction of the deadly vines, causing them to wither and die.“Well played. Where did you learn that little trick?” Janet asked, obviously tr

“A…Aeron?”I didn’t think I heard my own voice as my hand cupped his cheek with tears welling my eyes. I shook my head as he took a shaky breath and closed his eyes with a grimace that told me just how much pain he was in.“I can pull it out of your back,” I offered. “How much does it hurt? Let me see.”He turned around slowly to show me the silver knife lodged deep in his back up to the handle. His skin sizzled from contact with the silver blade of the knife, causing more damage than the stab wound itself.“Don’t pull it out,” he told me with a shaky voice. “It’s only going to get worse. I don’t…”I turned him around to face me. “Then what do I do? What do you…”I paused as I looked around to look for Janet. If she had stabbed him, surely there had to be a spell that she could cast to stop this from going any further than it already was.“Janet…?” I trailed off when I realized for the first time since Aeron had been stabbed, everything had become still. They were all staring, and nob
