All Chapters of The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ELIZA’S POVI wandered aimlessly through the pack grounds, trying to calm my racing heart after that encounter with Alexander.His scent still lingered in my nostrils, making it impossible to think clearly. I shook my head, trying to clear my mind and focus on what is actually important to me. Saving my pack."You're acting like a teenage pup with her first crush," my wolf teased, her tone light and playful. "We're a strong, independent Alpha female. We should be enjoying our freedom, not running away from an attractive male.""I'm not running," I muttered, though my hasty retreat said otherwise."Oh? So what do you call that graceful sprint just now?" She laughed. "Face it, his Alpha aura affects us. Affects you. There's nothing wrong with that.""It doesn't affect me. I just need to stay away from him for some time." I retorted, not liking what she was hinting at."We're single Eliza. We have no mate. Isn't it unfair that Derek has a new plaything and we are left to wander through t

ELIZA’S POVI took a deep breath, willing myself back to saneness. I had a reason for coming back to Alexander and his sexy, gorgeous, manly body was not going to make me loose my plot.“You know, you didn't actually tell me why you are out here by this time.”He shrugged, doing his last button. “I didn't think you wanted to hear it. You skipped out before I could assimilate the response you gave to me.”He had a small smirk on his face as he looked at me from the corner of his eyes. I chuckled, Alexander was a lot of things but being bold topped the list.“The river calms me.” Alexander said in response to my question. “Large body of water in general. Swimming in it, listening to their little trickle as they flow, observing the ripples and the little ‘thump’ when you throw a rock in it.”I looked up at him. "That's-" Who knew the charismatic prince had an element of surprise

ELIZA’S POVMy fists balled by my sides as we walked up to the dining table.What was I thinking? What were we thinking?Alexander may have proposed to me a few days back but that wasn't enough reason to get... unprofessional with him.My thoughts were spiraling and with the ensuing silence between us, I was certain the thudding of my heart could be heard a million miles away.I peeked over my shoulder and our eyes met. He opened his mouth to speak but as if deciding against it, he chewed on his teeth and looked straight ahead.'Me too, Alexander. Me too.’ I muttered to myself not knowing how to express or assemble the thoughts in my head.It wasn't often that Alexander was at a loss for words but last night's events had clearly thrown him off balance.As we neared the dining room, the familiar chatter in the room enveloped me, throwing me back to the memories I have missed; me, my parents, my brother, my father's beta, my mom's right hand woman and a few other warriors from our pack.

ELIZA’S POVMy wolf began moving restlessly giving me this unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something was wrong, my wolf could sense it, I could too.I kept my head up, following Maggie before concluding on anything. If something was wrong, it was only a matter of time till we figured it out.My wolf began bristling with anger as we got into the hall. I gritted my teeth trying to keep the anger surging inside of me in check.Maggie hadn't done justice to the explanation she gave, heck! She hadn't explained anything at all.A long crack ran from the base of the wall all the way to the middle, the impact so deep it could collapse the building.I looked at Alexander and found him as puzzled as I was. “What did you say happened again?” I asked Maggie.She adjusted her jotter pad in her hands as she darted her eyes between me and Alexander. “As I said, I noticed the crack and began monitoring it only to find out it grew bigger. Today, I was doing a general inspection around the

ELIZA’S POVIt's been three days since the incident in the training halls, since every activity in the pack came to a sudden halt.Over the last few days, Maggie, the engineer and I -and Alexander - have been testing and examining the building materials and have come to the conclusion that they were all weak and expired materials.Maggie and the engineer who I came to learn his name was Ronald, insisted that the conductor was deceitful and had supplied us with fake materials but I couldn't shake off the feeling that it wasn't done single-handedly. I knew someone was backing him but I wasn't certain who it was."This is the receipt for our wood purchase, that cost us about two hundred thousand," Lily said, sliding a receipt to me. We were in my office going over our bank affairs to check how bad we were damaged and how much damage control we could make."This one here is the receipt for steel and concrete. We paid for them at the same time and that cost us six hundred and fifty thousan
