All Chapters of BLOOD MOON BETRAYAL: A FORBIDDEN WEREWOLF ROMANCE.: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

That night, I had the worst nightmare I'd had since coming to Shadow Ridge.In my dream, I was back at the Harvest Festival. Damien was on the stage again, telling everyone how disgusting and worthless I was but this time, it was even worse."Look at her!" Dream-Damien shouted, pointing at me. "She thinks she has magic powers now! She thinks she's special!"The whole crowd laughed at me. Even the Shadow Ridge pack members were there, pointing and whispering about how weird I was."She's a freak!" someone yelled."An abomination!" shouted another voice.Then Kieran stepped forward, and my heart filled with hope. Surely he would defend me like he did before instead, he looked at me with cold, disgusted eyes."I made a mistake bringing her here," Dream-Kieran said in that a, flat voice. "She's not worth the trouble. Her magic is dark and dangerous. We don't want creatures like her in our pack.""Please," I begged in the dream. "I didn't mean to be strange." "Of course" Dream-Kieran

Two days later, I decided I was ready to try healing a person for the first time.Emma had cut her finger while preparing vegetables for lunch. It wasn't a serious injury - just a small cut that had bled a little - but it seemed like the perfect chance to test my abilities without risking someone's life."Emma," I said nervously as she wrapped a bandage around her finger, "would you mind if I tried something?"Emma looked up from her cutting board with curiosity. "What do you mean, dear?""I want to see if I can help heal your cut," I said quietly. "But only if you're comfortable with it and only if you promise to tell me if anything feels weird or wrong."Emma's face lit up with interest. "Of course! I'd be honored to help you test your abilities."Marcus, who had been helping in the kitchen, came over to watch. "This is exciting," he said. "Should I get Kieran?""Not yet," I said quickly. "Let's see if anything happens first. I don't want to make a big deal out of it if it d

After spending most of the day successfully healing three people with Dr. Martinez's guidance, I was exhausted but happy. The child's infection was completely gone, the elderly man's joint pain had disappeared, and the woman's wound had closed perfectly.But I was so tired I could barely walk straight."That's enough for today," Dr. Martinez said firmly when she saw me swaying on my feet. "Laila needs rest, food, and plenty of water."As we left the clinic, I noticed Elena waiting outside. Her arms were crossed and she had an angry expression on her face that made me nervous."Elena," Kieran said when he saw his sister. "Is everything alright?""We need to talk," Elena said, looking directly at me. "Privately.""If you have something to say to Laila, you can say it in front of me," Kieran said protectively."No," Elena said sharply. "This is between me and Laila."I felt scared, but I also didn't want to cause problems between Kieran and his sister."It's okay," I told Kieran qu

We'd gone to see Vivian at the pack borders but she wasn't there.Kieran sent some pack warriors to scout the borders to see if she was close by but they git nothing.This was so weird, Marcus said she came here to see me but then when i came out we didn't see her anywhere.This was suspicious. "Keep scouting the borders and report back to me if anything happens" Kieran instructed the pack warriors as we went back to the pack house."Are you fine?" He asked."Yes I am" I whispered"I don't want you out of my sight Laila...""No, it's fine I'll just be with Dr Martinez. I'm fine" I offered with a small smile but inside I was worried.What could have made her come here and leave after insisting to see me?After my successful healing session with Dr. Martinez the day before, I woke up feeling proud of myself for the first time in months and I didn't need anything to add to how I felt about Elena's hostility.I had actually helped people with my strange abilities instead of just causing

The guilt from letting the young warrior die was eating me alive. For three days after the Mountain View Pack left, I barely slept or ate. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his pale face and heard his uncle's crying.I was sitting in the garden, trying to find some peace among the flowers, when Marcus came running up to me with a worried expression."Laila," he said urgently, "there's a messenger at the gate. He has a letter for you specifically."My blood turned cold. "A letter for me? From who?""He won't say," Marcus replied. "But he's insisting that only you can receive it."I followed Marcus to the main gate, my heart pounding with fear. A rough-looking man on horseback was waiting there, holding a sealed envelope."You Laila Ashwood?" he asked in a harsh voice."Yes," I whispered.He tossed the letter down to me and rode away without another word.With shaking hands, I opened the envelope. The letter inside was written in handwriting I recognized immediately.'Laila, Did y
