All Chapters of The Banished Luna Returns!: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

•CASSANDRA•I was in Viktor’s penthouse bedroom. The lights of the city were visible through the tall windows. The bedsheets were messy from the night we had spent together. And Viktor was beside me, asleep.Then something felt wrong. My chest tightened when I saw a huge figure near the windows. The Lycan King stood near the curtain, making the room appear smaller. And his eyes were on me.“Do you still think you can hide?" I sat up in bed, my heart racing. “You’re not real. This is a dream.”He stepped closer. “Then why are you afraid?”I turned and saw Viktor standing up from the bed. He was tense, already moving in front of me.“Catherine, stay back,” he instructed me.“No,” I snapped. “Viktor, don’t.”The Lycan King didn’t rush. He waited as Viktor attacked him, and it was over in seconds.The Lycan King grabbed Viktor by the throat and lifted him off the floor. Viktor struggled, gasping for air.I screamed and ran toward them, trying to pull Viktor away, but I couldn't. He was

•MARY•“Leo is slipping out of my hands, Xander,” I groaned over the phone, sitting on a chair near the training grounds, watching Brian run around the field. “The more I relax, the more my marriage is being jeopardized. Do you think he will keep you around once I’m gone?”“I thought the plan was already clear,” he answered. “We find Dr. Vale and Catherine and kill them. That’s all we need to end this entire madness.”“We need to kill Arya if the pack has to believe that Dr. Vale’s healing methods are unethical and dangerous. They’d let her go if there was nothing to support all the claims I made against her.”I stood up from the chair and paced. “We need to give them a reason to find her and get the job done for us. I don’t think Leo would want to work with her anymore if he found out she was behind another person’s death,” I added. “This is the only way, big brother. We don’t have a home anymore, so if we lose this one, we won’t have anywhere to go.”“I know that,” he sighed. “So, w

•CATHERINE•The fire should have killed us.I felt it before I saw it, a crushing wave of heat and pressure that slammed into the car and left me breathless. The explosion thundered through the fuel station, tearing metal apart as flames surged in every direction. The windshield shattered, glass spraying across the seats as Viktor shouted my name, his voice barely audible over the roar of fire.For a heartbeat, fear took hold.Then something inside me answered.It was not pain that followed, but release. The panic drained from my chest as if it had never been there, replaced by a certainty so frightening I wasn't even sure if it would work. I shifted before I could think if it would be possible. My vision was instantly tinted with an ice-blue shade, and all my senses were sharpened. The car groaned as metal bent outward. The doors were torn apart from the inside as my body expanded. I was no longer confined to the seat or the wreckage. I stepped forward, and the world seemed sudd

•LEO•The council hall was smaller than it had ever been. Luke stood in the center of the room, hands clenched at his sides, his jaw tight with disbelief. He wasn't bound or restrained because the council hadn't decided yet if he had truly stolen the money from the pack and framed Catherine. Catherine was framed for stealing money, which caused a stagnant growth in the pack. Sometimes I had to use money from my own pocket to fix a few things that needed urgent attention. Luke advised me during those times, and I was grateful to have him by my side. When I thought of those times, my heart tightened painfully because I had trusted him. I shared everything with him while he was stealing from us. But even as I looked at him, I couldn't believe he was the same person I had called a friend for so long. People looked at me with expectations, wondering if I'd truly punish my best friend of twenty years if he were found guilty. But I hadn't considered that possibility. I hoped more than

•MARY•"Leo, darling, is there anything wrong?" I asked as I turned and looked at him while Brian rushed to the house. I smiled, pretending as if it still didn't sting after what he said to me when he returned from his failed mission to find Catherine and Dr. Vale. His words still echoed in my mind as if he had said them a minute ago. They broke my heart more than I thought they would. Leo was the only man I had ever envisioned my life with, and if I lost him and the home he gave me, I'd lose everything and have nowhere to go. So, if I had to smile and pretend as if everything was normal and jolly, then I'd do that with no questions asked. "We need to talk about our marriage," he said as he turned his attention back to me after winking at Brian. "I think we shouldn't ignore the fact that we aren't working anymore. We've both said things we can't take back, and I don't want us to drag things on anymore." My heart hammered and was so loud in my ears that I was tongue-tied for a mi
