Semua Bab Luna's Wrath: Reborn for Vengeance : Bab 11 - Bab 20

SELENE/MYRA Time seemed to freeze as the rogue's fingers dug into Nia's wrist. Every rogue nearby had gone quiet, watching. I could see panic flashing in Nia's eyes, though she was trying hard to hide it.I had seconds to act before everything fell apart."Oops!" I cried out, deliberately stumbling forward and spilling my entire cup of alcohol down the front of the suspicious rogue. The liquid soaked his shirt and splashed onto his pants.He released Nia's wrist immediately, jumping back with a string of curses."You stupid bitch!" he snarled, looking down at his drenched clothes.I covered my mouth with my hand, eyes widened. "I'm so sorry," I gasped, stepping closer and pressing my body against his arm. "Let me help you clean up."His anger faltered as I ran my hand down his chest, looking up at him through my lashes."I can make it up to you," I said, my voice deliberately husky. "Somewhere more... private?"

GRAYI stared at Reid, waiting for him to say something. The tension in his shoulders told me everything I needed to know before he even opened his mouth."What happened?" I demanded, my voice coming out sharper than I intended."There has been no communication from Myra's team," he finally said. "They were supposed to check in at dawn."A cold weight settled in my chest. "How late are they?""Three hours," Reid replied. "I've tried to mind link them. Nothing."Three hours. Protocol required check-ins every eight hours while on mission. Missing one could mean anything from a delay to… I shut that thought down fast."Maybe they're just out of range," Reid suggested."Or they decided to extend surveillance," I said, trying to convince myself as much as him.Reid nodded, willing to play along. "Possible."But we both knew better. Talon would never break protocol unless something had gone

MYRA/ SELENEDarkness surrounded me, suffocating me. Then came the pain: sharp and devastatingly familiar, piercing through my back while the blade was being twisted deeper and deeper.I was reliving it again. The nightmare that never seemed to leave me alone.The memory crashed over me, every detail as vivid as if it were happening all over again. I was Selene again, standing in my own chambers on what should have been the happiest night of my life. Tomorrow was supposed to be my wedding day. Tomorrow, I was supposed to become Luna of the SilverClaw pack.Instead, I watched in horror as Jace and his true mate, the woman he'd been sleeping with behind my back, stood over me with satisfaction on their faces. The wolfsbane dagger gleamed in Jace's hand, my blood still dripping from it."You were never meant to be Luna" Jace sneered, his voice feeling like a broken record I couldn't turn off. "Did you really think I could love someone like y

MYRA / SELENEThree days of staring at the same four walls was driving me insane. I pushed myself up from the bed, testing my back. The sharp pain has reduced to a dulled ache, which I figured was progress."You shouldn't be up yet!" the healer shouted while coming over. "The wound needs more time to…""I'm fine," I interrupted, standing slowly. "I can't stay here any longer."She frowned at me, hands on her hips. "Alpha Gray specifically said…""Alpha Gray isn't the one going crazy in this bed," I shot back. The truth was, I couldn't handle being alone with my thoughts anymore. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw flashes of my past life, of Jace's betrayal. And then there were Gray's frequent visits to check on my progress. Each time he walked through that door, it became harder to act normal around him, harder to remember that he was supposed to be just a means to an end.The healer threw up her hands in defeat. "Fine,

MYRA/SELENE I stared after Gray's retreating figure, my heart still racing from what had almost happened between us. One minute, we'd been having this intense moment, his hand on my cheek, him leaning closer and the next he was doubled over in pain, practically fleeing from me.This wasn't the first time I'd noticed something was wrong with the Alpha. It made my chest tighten. And somehow, I found myself caring more than I should.The next morning, the pack buzzed with activity as preparations for the celebration began. I tried to find Gray, needing to know if he was okay after last night's episode, but Reid blocked my path near his office."I want to see the Alpha." I asked directly. "Is he alright?"Reid's expression was guarded. "The Alpha is busy," he said coldly. "That's not what I asked," I pressed. "Something happened last night. He was in pain.""I don't know what you're talking about," Reid replied,
