All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna: Rise Of The Phoenix : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Alaric’s POV“Alpha.”The knocks on the door of my study roused me from the reverie I was in.I had spent so long staring out the window that I was unsure of how much time had truly passed.When I turned my head, the first thing that caught my attention were those papers, laying on the carpet a few feet away from me.The divorce petition.It was a reality I couldn't accept.However, when I thought of Aurora’s words at the clinic earlier that afternoon, there was a pressure in my chest that I found hard to settle.She was leaving me.It was a bitter truth, something I found I could not, for the life of me, swallow comfortably.But it was true.‘It’s not final yet. There's still time to convince her otherwise,’ a voice in my head stated.I slowly stood, listening to the knocks on the door. I had locked the study door from the inside. I had needed time to think, time to process. But it wasn't enough.Seeing the sunset carve its path across the sky and stream in with radiant orange rays

Rosalie’s/Seraphina’s POVDrip. Drip. Drip.My eyes flashed, though my head remained lowered.My skin felt like ants were crawling over it.My lips moved, curses and rambling on the tip of my tongue, but there was no sound that left my lips.It was that damned Elder. She was more skilled than I expected. She had bound me after Aurora, that bitch. Had ruined my plans and set Alaric free from my hold.Everything had gone downhill after that.The dull ache at the back of my head sharpened, and I gasped, curling on the stone floor as a hand, invisible, wrapped around my neck and my heart, squeezing with venomous rage.‘Failure! You fail and fail! That’s all you do!!’Asura raged in my head and I coughed out, copper on my tongue and my blood spilling from my lips, dripping onto the floor.The sounds of dripping continued in the background, and it was maddening.I was going insane.‘Your fault. You should have told me she was that powerful,’ I couldn't help but snap,, my patience already w

Aurora’s POVI had not expected to be attacked tonight when I thought it was all nearly over. The sentencing would be tomorrow, and I was ready to get things over with. For the first time I had let go of all my inhibitions and slept like a baby after retiring for the night.I was only grateful that things had not gone so far that I could not overpower this woman.The two men in the room growled at Seraphina’s words as if on cue. It was a clear threat to me. I pursed my lips.I didn't want her dead yet. If she was to die, her dealings with the rogues truly needed to be exposed.“Then I will kill you first,” Zephyr tightened his grip on her neck, leaving her wheezing with a pitiful expression on her face.“Zephyr, no,” but before I could continue, the rogue leader cried out,falling to his knees.“Oathbreaker,” Seraphina chuckled hoarsely, as Zephyr was left a writhing mess on the ground.I froze. That voice. It didn't seem to come from Seraphina (or Rosalie Blackwood) herself. It cam

Aurora’s POV“Calm enough yet, child?” Elder Miriam asked with a raised brow. “You do realize you practically brought the Alpha back from the brink of death with those reckless moves of yours.”“I did what I had to,” I insisted. Meanwhile my mind raced.Two days, then that meant– today was the day of the divorce finalization.I glanced at the clock, seeing it was a few minutes past midnight, and relief struck me.I still had about 12 hours to go.Enough time for me to sort out everything.“Well,” Lyra spoke up, finally stepping back from my bedside. “You are fine. Mostly. Your blood pressure is quite high, though I reckon all that would clm down in a couple of hours. Any headaches?” She asked me.“More like a deep body ache,” I responded with. Then I turned to Elder Miriam again with another barrage of questions to ask. “Elder Miriam, what happened while I was out?”That was when I learnt everything.Elder Miriam took the seat that Asher had occupied beside me.“For one, Rosalie

Alaric’s POVHer indifference hurt a lot more than anything else ever could. Even though I could see it was all an act, I still knew that I had caused this.And fuck, that was a hard pill to swallow.My words seemed to have garnered a bit of a reaction.Though her back was to me, the tremor through the mate bond did not lie.When she spoke, her voice was hoarse.“A lot has happened. It cannot,” she paused, and I heard her audible inhale and exhale, ‘it cannot be taken back. Not now. Accept this once and for all, Alaric. There’s nothing that you can do to change it.”My jaw tightened, and my hands clenched into fists.I felt like the air had been knocked out of me again.And what was worse, I had heard the exhaustion in her voice, the plain tiredness.I wasn't sure if she was merely physically exhausted but I was not intent on putting more pressure on her.I still had 12 hours left.Once daylight broke, I promised myself. Even if it meant finding a way to keep her in the mansion, I wou
