Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Luna Trials: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Standing at the border, waiting for Logan’s wolves, was nerve-wracking. More so than thinking about the Trial she’d have to overcome in a few hours' times. She supposed that was because it was basically rigged so there wasn’t much to be anxious about. Meeting the Shadow Forest Gammas was far more stressful and had Cassy wringing her fingers together to stay calm. She saw Logan peer down at them from the corner of her eye, and stiffen, unable to touch her. Instead, his hand sat woodenly on Katie’s shoulder for the wolves around them to see. Jace and Alex were there, but a few of the High Guard had decided to attend as well, standing at their Alpha’s side as representatives from the supposed enemy pack arrived. Zac was among them, though he stood away from the others. Cassy couldn’t help but notice the way Jace didn’t speak to him or even acknowledge his presence, directing any question or conversation to his sister instead. Each time made a muscle jump in Zac’s jaw and when he caught h

Cassy didn’t dare look towards the stands at the King’s announcement. She could feel the stares of her mates and friends burrowing into her, but if she looked at them now, she knew she’d crumple. Jace’s plan to put her in the two-woman group with Jodie had been torn to shreds by her father’s intervention, leaving her to the mercy of Sarah and Cheryl – one of which hated her guts. Both were strong warriors, highly trained and determined. Against them, she had no hope. Hell, even if it had been Katie or Alex facing them instead, they would’ve struggled too. What the hell am I going to do? She asked herself, pushing away the probing mindlinks trying to connect to her.  There was nothing her friends or mates could

There was an odd feeling in the hall and Cassy couldn’t shake the notion that everyone kept glancing her way. Maybe it was the huge cast on her arm running from her bicep to her forearm, or maybe it was the blatant rule twisting that had her up on the stage alongside a pissed off Sarah that had them throwing doubt her way. Though Cassy was hopefully Jace could spin the results, so she progressed to the finals instead of Sarah, she didn’t see how that was possible. Sarah had beat her, there was no question she had. After Cheryl forfeited, it should’ve been a clear win for Sarah, and the pack were left confused why it wasn’t. Sweat beaded at her neck, her stomach rolling with every passing minute the King and Jace kept the room waiting. She felt like she was under a magnifying glass, each eye turned in her direction a beam of sunlight, scorching her throug

“I’m never going to make the mistake of trusting you again.” Cassy eyed Zac, but curiosity outweighed her unease. She’d never love him again, but she wasn’t lying when she said she thought he wasn’t evil. He was just a man whose loyalty wavered when a pack of women were suddenly competing to be his mate. An asshole but harmless. “But, you can tell me what’s going on.” Relief crossed the Beta wolf’s expression, before his eyes turned to the scenery. “It feels too exposed here. We should go somewhere else.”

The path to the packhouse was flooded with warriors. It was disheartening to see both Ash Mount and Silver Spear wolves standing side by side on guard, all watching her as she approached the packhouse. Its windows were still as lit up as when she had left the ceremony but the music had stopped. Had the King known about who she was then? Barely a couple of hours ago she had been on the stage with him as he pressed her to share her pheromones so she could be claimed by one of the High Guard. Is that why he had pushed so much? Had he wanted her to reveal herself in front of the pack? Even so, he must’ve already taken her mum by then. Was it all a game to him, pretending he didn’t know their secret? Cassy didn’t know. She had too many questions boiling inside her, and there was only one way to get answers. Nobody tried to stop her as she walked up to the packhouse and went inside the large building. There were less wolves inside, but Cassy noticed they were from the King’s pack and not
