《The Banished Luna Returns!》全部章節：第 161 章 - 第 170 章

•BRIAN• I waited outside the front porch for Alma. He was the only person who made it easy for me while waiting for my father to arrive. He was my best friend, and the only one who didn't treat me like I was different. With him, I was just Brian. We talked almost about everything without judging each other, and it hurt me whenever I thought I'd have to go home someday and might not see him again. I smiled when I heard soft footsteps behind the house, then a sharp whistle that I knew very well. “Brian,” Alma whispered loudly. “Come on. Before they see you.” I jumped up and followed his voice. He was standing near the side of the house, his dark hair messy as always, his eyes bright with excitement. He waved at me to hurry. “Where are we going?” I asked as I ran to him. The last time we went to play together behind the house, we were scolded by the older boys. “We will go to the playground,” he answered, and I knew we would be in trouble again. But I didn't mind. “Then the tr

•LEO•"The Luna demoted you?" I asked in disbelief while I was on the call with Bruce. I shook my head and couldn't believe what he was telling me. I had done everything before Catherine and I were taken to ensure that Mary would be punished for her crimes and banished from the pack. The only thing that remained was for her to sign the divorce papers and be done with the nonsense we called marriage for five years. I regretted every moment I had spent with her and wished she would be out of our territory by the time I returned home with my son. But alas, she had deceived the entire pack and made them believe she was still the Luna. The elders were even gullible enough to believe every word she said. It was as if they all believed I wouldn't return from the north. "Yes, Alpha," he answered. "The Elders sided with her and told us to await your return before she could be punished for the crimes she confessed in front of the entire pack. They believe she and Xander were under the inf

•CATHERINE• Chaos erupted in an instant. Leo's massive black wolf form charged through the shattered gates, and his red eyes glowed with fury, muscles rippling under his dark fur. The pack members scattered, gasping in shock. Some screamed, and others froze in place. Killian's guards rushed forward, shifting into their wolves mid-stride, but Leo was faster, stronger. He leaped onto the first guard, jaws clamping down on its neck with a sickening crunch. The wolf yelped and went limp. Another guard tried to flank him, but Leo spun, his claws raking deep gashes across its side. Blood sprayed across the courtyard stones. The air filled with growls and snarls. Killian shifted too, his body twisting into a large gray wolf with scarred fur. He bared his teeth, ears flat against his head. "You dare invade my pack?" he snarled through the mind link, but Leo didn't bother replying. He barreled straight at Killian, their bodies colliding like thunder. I watched from the pole, my bo

•CATHERINE•Aisha knelt on the ground in front of me, tears streaming down her face. Her hands shook as she reached out, but she didn’t dare touch me. The courtyard was quiet now, except for the soft murmurs of the pack and the distant sound of Killian and Uncle Benard being dragged away in chains.“Catherine,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “Please forgive me. I was wrong, and I was afraid. Killian promised me things. He said he would protect me if I helped him. And I thought if you were gone, everything would be better. But I was stupid. I betrayed you and brought you here to die. Please give me another chance to prove myself worthy of being your sister." I looked down at her. My heart felt heavy. I trusted her and believed she had changed. Even though I didn't want to see Uncle Benard again, I agreed to come with her because I thought we would fix things. I thought I would have my elder sister back, and things would be like they were before the pack run, when she loved me.

Killian and his father, Benard, were dragged down the narrow steps by four strong warriors. Silver chains bound their wrists, burning their skin with every movement. Killian’s broken leg dragged behind him, the wound from Leo’s bite still raw and slow to heal because of the silver.The warriors shoved them into separate cells. The iron doors slammed shut with a heavy clang that echoed through the halls. Killian pushed himself up from the damp floor and gripped the bars. “Let us out!” he shouted. “This is my pack! I am the Alpha!”Benard, in the next cell, rattled his chains. “We demand to speak to the elders! You have no right to hold us like this!”The guard outside said nothing. He walked away. Soon, three elders appeared; Elder Mara, Elder Tomas, and Elder Grace. They stood in the dim light, their faces stern.Elder Mara spoke first. “You asked to speak. Speak now.”Killian stepped as close to the bars as the chains allowed. “Release us. Catherine is gone. She left with Leo Thor
