All Chapters of Scorned Luna To Alpha Queen: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Lyralei's back hit the packed dirt so hard the air left her lungs in a rush.She lay there staring up at the open sky above the training ground, her spine screaming in protest and her shoulders aching from the impact. Three seconds. It had been less than three fucking seconds since she'd lunged at him and she was already flat on her back like some novice who'd never fought before in her life.What the actual hell?She blinked up at Joefrey standing above her, his pale eyes looking down at her with undisguised disdain. The expression on his face said everything his mouth didn't need to. Pathetic, weak and a waste of his time.She felt something hot surge in her chest. Not embarrassment, though that was definitely there. This was deeper. Envy, pure and simple. He was so strong it made her teeth ache with wanting that kind of power for herself.She pushed herself up on her elbows, then to her feet, and the movement sent fresh protests from her back and shoulders that she ignored completel

Lyralei thundered out of Joefrey's training grounds with rage colouring her features in a way that made every warrior she passed stop and stare.She didn't care.Her boots hit the stone floor hard enough to echo off the corridor walls and her hands were clenched into fists at her sides so tight her knuckles had gone white. The only thought in her head was finding Nessa and making her pay for every second of that humiliation.Blood pounded in her ears with each step she took. Her jaw ached from clenching her teeth. The mark on her chest flickered erratically beneath her tunic, responding to her fury in pulses of heat that spread across her ribs and down her arms.She'd been knocked unconscious. Left lying in the dirt like garbage while Nessa walked away smiling.The memory made her vision go red at the edges.Warriors flattened themselves against the corridor walls as she passed, their eyes tracking her movement with a mixture of wariness and fascination. Some whispered to each other bu

Nessa stared at Lyralei with rage burning in her eyes before lunging forward with fury driving every movement. Her first strike came faster than Lyralei expected. A punch aimed straight at her face that connected hard enough to snap her head backward. Stars burst behind Lyralei's eyes and she tasted copper on her tongue.She stumbled but managed to get her guard up just in time to block the next hit. Nessa's fist slammed into her forearm and the impact rattled through her bones all the way up to her shoulder. Then another punch came from the opposite side and Lyralei blocked that one too but barely. Her arms were already starting to feel heavy.Nessa pressed forward without giving her time to recover or reset her stance. A low kick swept Lyralei's supporting leg out from under her and she went down hard on one knee. The stone floor bit into her kneecap and pain shot up her leg. Before she could stand Nessa's foot connected with her ribs and air left her lungs in a rush that left her ga

Joefrey held Lyralei's body and felt totally confused with the emotions swirling in his heart. He didn't understand it but staring at the broken body of this fierce woman who wouldn't bow no matter what made him feel something in his chest he couldn't name. He knew he should move away and let someone take her but he couldn't stop himself from staring at her unconscious form.Her last words still burned in his mind. I lost didn't I? It had touched him because even beaten down she'd refused to give up until she lost consciousness. Despite himself he actually respected that. The stubborn defiance that kept her standing when she should have stayed down.He heard footsteps approaching. A feminine voice said "Alpha" and he turned to see one of his pack members. He recognized her as the one always moving around with Lyralei since she'd arrived. Keziah if he recalled her name correctly.Then he realized the whole pack was watching him. Warriors lined the corridor walls with their eyes fixed o

Lyralei felt herself tense up as Nessa stared at her with that crazed look in her eyes. Her muscles coiled and her mark flickered beneath her tunic in response to the threat.Almost immediately Keziah ran to stand in front of her. "What the hell are you doing Nessa?"Lyralei felt guilt churn in her stomach. Here was Keziah protecting her despite everything she'd said to hearlier. Despite the cruel words and the dismissal and the way she'd thrown their friendship back in her face.She took a step forward to stand beside Keziah. "What? The win you had wasn't enough? You still came here to meet me?"Nessa stared at her confused. "What?"Then she seemed to notice the swords in her hands. She looked down at them and scoffed. "Oh no no no no." She shook her head. "There's no way I am going to kill you over some stupid squabble we had earlier."Lyralei frowned. "Then what the hell are you doing here with weapons?""I'm only here to make sure you're okay.""What the hell are you yapping about
