Semua Bab True Luna's Revenge: Bab 1 - Bab 5

Scarlett felt her heart race as she set foot again in a country once familiar and yet foreign to that of her old pack. And it had been five years since she'd last set foot in this place, and even now the memories have started. Towering pines, a howling of wolves in the distance it was like a nightmare from which she just couldn't wake up. But she hadn't come here for nostalgia. She was here to settle a score.The moon was low in the sky, throwing its weird light upon the woodland floor as Scarlett moved noiselessly, her footfalls measured. She had been training for just this moment, to be able to make Lucas pay for his sins. Her fists clenched at the thought of Lucas, the future Alpha, the boy she once trusted. Now he was a man she loathed.The pack was gathered at the edge of the clearing, partying over something she didn't give a damn about. Her eyes scoured the crowd for him, her heart hardening with each second that passed. Then she saw him.In the center stood Lucas, surrounded b

Scarlett lay on the ground. Heavier, Lucas pinned her, and she panted, gasping for breath. Her every instinct screamed at her to keep fighting, to push him off, but she was pinned. Her muscles burned, and her heart thumped in her chest to the primitive rhythm of anger and fear.Lucas's face loomed inches above hers, his eyes writhing with anguish, almost guilt, that Scarlett did not want to see.

"You betrayed me, Lucas. Betrayed each one of us."Lucas winced, as though she had struck him

As the echoes of battle died, Scarlett's heart pounded on. The Shadow Pack had retreated, taking Lucas with them as their prisoner. Eerie shadows were cast on the moonlit floor of the forest, with the tang of blood still fresh in the air."We've got to go," he said with a sense of urgency, his voice tight as he stood and tugged Scarlett to her feet. "Whatever's left of Lucas's pack could be regrouping. We're not safe."Scarlett nodded, forcing the gale of emotions inside of her. She had to put what had just happened about how close she had come to ending it all out of her mind. There was too much at stake.Rachel's eyes darted to where the Shadow Pack had disappeared into the trees. "Even so, do you trust them? They are creatures not easily given to honesty."Scarlett's jaw tightened. "We don't have a choice. We need them, and they know it. But we have to stay alert.
