All Chapters of The Broken Wolfless Luna : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Rael's Pov The full moon ceremony was in full swing by the time the sun set and Haven was alive with music and laughter. Fire pits burned bright in the center of the settlement and people danced around them with cups of mead in their hands.I stood near one of the tables helping Clara arrange the last of the food but my mind wasn't on the celebration. I kept looking around for Eryx but he still wasn't here.He had told me yesterday that he needed to leave tonight. That he had personal business to handle and couldn't explain it. I had agreed to let him go but now that the moment was actually here I felt uneasy about the whole thing."Stop looking for him," Clara said without glancing up from the bread she was slicing. "He's not coming.""I know. I just thought maybe he would at least say goodbye before he left." I said."He probably didn't want to make a big deal out of it. You know how he is.""No I don't. That's the whole problem. He's keeping secrets from me and I don't understand

Rael's PovThe Lycan's head turned sharply to the left. Its ears perked up, and its whole body went still, like it was listening to something far away.Then I heard it too. Howling. Multiple voices calling out from somewhere in the wasteland. They were distant, but getting closer.The Lycan's grip on my throat loosened more. It was distracted, now focused on whatever those howls meant."Lucky," it growled at me. Its yellow eyes flicked back to my face for a second. "You are very lucky, little wolf."Then it dropped me.I hit the ground as a sack of rocks, and pain exploded through my injured shoulder. I gasped and coughed, trying to get air back into my lungs. My throat felt crushed, and every breath hurt.The Lycan stood over me for another second, just staring down at me with those glowing yellow eyes. Then it turned and ran off toward the howling. Its heavy footsteps faded into the distance until I couldn't hear them anymore.I lay there on the cold ground, trying to understand wha

Rael's Pov I turned and saw Eryx standing there. He had put his clothes on, but they were torn and bloodied. His face was pale, and he looked exhausted.He saw my shoulder, and his eyes went wide. "What happened? You're hurt."I just stared at him and didn't say anything.He came closer and reached out to help me, but I flinched away from him."Don't touch me," I said.He stopped, and confusion crossed his face. "What's wrong? Let me help you.""You don't remember, do you?""Remember what? Rael, what are you talking about?"I pointed at his shoulder where the cut was. "That. Do you remember how you got that?"He looked down at the wound and touched it gently. "No. I never remember what happens during the transformation. I told you that.""I gave you that cut."His hand dropped, and he stared at me. "What?""Last night. A Lycan attacked me, and I cut its arm with my knife. Right there in that exact spot. And now you have the same cut."Understanding dawned on his face, and he looked h

Eryx’s PovFour days had passed since the attack and Rael still wouldn't talk to me. She stayed in her room most of the time and when she did come out she made sure I wasn't around.I knew because I was watching. Not in a creepy way but just making sure she was okay. Making sure she ate and that her wound was healing properly.Clara told me Rael was recovering well physically but that was all she would say. When I asked about anything else she just shook her head and told me to give Rael space.So that's what I did even though it was killing me.I stood near the training area watching Rael from a distance. She had finally come out of her room and was doing light exercises. Nothing too strenuous because of her shoulder but enough to start getting her strength back.She looked tired. There were dark circles under her eyes like she hadn't been sleeping and she moved slower than usual. But she was still trying and that was good.I wanted to go over and help her. Wanted to adjust her stanc

Rael's PovIt took me two more days to work up the courage to find Eryx. I kept telling myself I would do it and then chickening out at the last minute, but finally on the seventh day after the attack I decided I couldn't put it off anymore.I found him near the training area working with some of the newer fighters. He was showing them defensive moves and correcting their stances, he looked tired like he hadn't been sleeping well either.I stood at the edge of the area and watched for a few minutes. He hadn't noticed me yet, I wasn't sure if I should interrupt or wait until he was done.But then he turned and saw me. Our eyes met and for a second neither of us moved, then he said something to the fighters and walked over to where I was standing."Hey," he said quietly."Hey.""How's your shoulder?""Better. Almost healed.""That's good."We stood there in awkward silence for a minute. I didn't know how to start and apparently neither did he.Finally I said "Can we talk somewhere priv
