All Chapters of The Banished Luna Returns!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

•MARY• “Nothing has been fixed, Luna. Our houses are deteriorating, and it has been five years. Haven’t we made enough money through the great harvest last year to fix our housing structures?” A she-wolf asked during an annual pack meeting. “The Beta talked about a tertiary school that would get built so our children wouldn’t attend human colleges, but that hasn’t been mentioned ever since!” another member complained. “The only thing that has been done in the last five years is a training ground that has only been used by the Luna and her brother, Xander. This is unfair!” I fought the urge to roll my eyes because none of them were grateful for anything Leo and I were doing for them. They always found something to complain about, and that irritated me. So, I sat there with my hand on my cheek, wondering when the damn meeting would be over. “Isn’t the Luna supposed to serve us and listen to our pleas?” A scout stood up, and the crowd erupted in unison. “Yes!” “She is supposed to

•CATHERINE•“The hospital staff is chanting about how you saved another patient from cancer. This must be great news, Catherine!” Elias squealed when he fetched me after my shift.I smiled faintly, exhaustion tugging at the corners of my lips. “It’s… good news,” I murmured, settling into the passenger seat.He always waited for me, no matter how late I got off.As I sank into the leather seat, I scrolled through my phone, deleting the endless stream of congratulatory texts. My hands trembled slightly — not from pride, but from the weight of everything that had happened today.“You broke another record again!” Elias said, his voice brimming with excitement. “You don’t know how proud I am of you. We must celebrate this when we get home. I’ll cook dinner for you, and order the most expensive bottle of wine.”His enthusiasm made me laugh softly despite myself. “You really don’t have to do all that, Elias.”“I want to,” he insisted, glancing at me, eyes bright. “You deserve it.”Mabel’s ca

•LEO•“Don’t worry, babe.” She looked at me with a soft smile, taking my hand. “The wild flu won’t spread in our pack. I’ll call a meeting tomorrow to warn everyone to stay away from the northern forest. The animals there are infected, and if we’re not careful, it could turn into a disaster.”Her words calmed me a little. I didn’t know what I’d do if the wild flu reached us. Our people were already struggling, and many were still fixing their homes after the heavy snow last winter.“I really hope you’re right,” I replied, rubbing my temples. “I hate feeling useless in times like these. As Alpha, I should know what to do, but this—” I ran a hand through my hair. “This is out of my control.”She nodded and grabbed her phone from the dressing table. “I’ll message the Elders and announce a meeting for tomorrow. It’s better to prevent the flu than fight it later.”“Good thinking,” I answered with a sigh of relief, grabbing my jacket from the bed. “I’m going to take a shower.”She smiled ag

•CATHERINE• "Are you okay?" Julie asked when the car had pulled off outside the parking lot. I quickly snapped back and slid my cellphone into my pocket. "Yeah, of course," I smiled. "I'm fine. It's just nerves." I lied, trying not to let the call ruin the day I had been waiting for. "Let's go, then." She took her handbag and hopped out of the car. I took a deep breath and followed as well. The sun was warm on my face as I stood in front of the new hospital. My hands shook a little as I looked at the red ribbon. I couldn’t believe this moment was real. After all the hard work, long nights, and times I almost gave up — my dream was finally standing in front of me. People were gathered all around, clapping and smiling. Reporters had their cameras ready. Nurses and doctors stood in a line, their faces full of hope. Above the glass doors, the name ‘The Haven Hospital’ shone bright in silver letters. Julie stood beside me, her eyes already glistening with tears. “This is it, Cath

•CATHERINE•“That’s absurd!” I snapped, standing up from my chair. “You can’t shut down my practice because I healed a patient who came to my hospital seeking help. This won’t be allowed by the director!” I looked at him sitting in his chair at the top of the auditorium hall.“You tampered with our traditions, Catherine!” The man answered while the director just looked at us. “We follow rules, which you have admitted to bending for your selfish healing quests.”“If you don’t want your people to be healed by me, you must keep them from my hospital because it won’t shut down. If I must fight you to keep it running, then I will do that rather than let you take away the only opportunity people have to get help.”“The man you saved killed our Alpha and scarred me,” he answered, removing the hoodie over his face, and my heart skipped when I realized he wasn’t the rogue king. “The pack and I deserved justice for what he did, but because of you, he ran away, and who knows when he might come b
