All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna: Rise Of The Phoenix : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Aurora’s POV“I never expected I would see this happen in my lifetime,” Elder Miriam stood, picking up the caramel coloured stone. My lips quivered.I forced myself to ask with a hoarse voice, “Elder, what do you mean? What is wrong with my son?Asher shifted by my side, pressing his body against me.Elder Miriam raised the stone to me, saying, “This is a stone I caught from a large canyon. A gemstone of immense quality. Very high pure energy.”Then she stopped it on the table with a thud.I waited, knowing whatever she was about to say was important.“Your son seems to hold a very high amount of essence,” she stated, slowly, like she was speaking to a child.My heart skipped a beat.“What do you mean?” I asked. “He has powers too?”“Yes,” She nodded with a small smile. “He does. And it seems I misunderstood you, young heir.”“Explain,” I forced out. “No more riddles, Elder. Please tell me.”Elder Miriam sighed.“Reember what you read about runes, Luna. How do objects of pure energy re

Alaric's POVShe cast me a sidelong glance, brows furrowed slightly.“Of course, why wouldn't I?” She moved to stand beside me, tugging on our son’s arm as she placed him between us. “I have already checked the supplies and availability of rooms in the pack houses. It's a tight fit but it will be fine.”“I have already arranged for temporary homes to be built,” I unwittingly explained. “If the space in the pack houses is too little, we prioritize women, children and elderly first. The able bodied men can join our people in building.”“That’s a great idea,” she remarked, and I saw her lips curve upwards, eyes brightening. “I was actually talking to Mina before about having the female refugees aid in providing meals and other work. This is a safe zone for them but it shouldn’t stop them from working. In fact, it’s right for them to.”We continued to talk, and I noticed Asher was not fidgeting like most children his age were. Instead he stood still, eyes glancing between me and Aurora,

Aurora’s POVI gasped awake, my heart still beating far too quickly.My vision swam, focusing and unfocusing for several seconds and my nostrils were filled with the scent of seawater…Wait, seawater?I blinked several times, slowly rising to my feet from the bed, stumbling towards the bathroom in an indescribable haze.On autopilot, the tap was flicked on by my hands and I pooled some water into my cupped hands. Warm.But when it came time for me to wash my face, I hesitated.The dream of choking on seawater was too vivid in my head.My eyes flickered, and I finally met my reflection’s gaze, my chest still heaving.This was different.It wasn't merely a dream but a memory, one that I regretted ever knowing.The binds once more seemed to loosen, or rather, I felt the well of my energy within swell, with an accompanying rush that soothed my heart just a little.I looked down at my hands, feeling the water spill over my palms and down into the sink, and I finally washed my face.It was

Aurora’s POVThe girl didn't seem bothered by my question, in fact my voice seemed to make her smile tilt higher on her lips.“My name is Sylvia. You may know my teacher, the Priestess of the Kyrian Pack,” she explained. “I just didn't expect to be attacked before I got a chance to see you properly, Mistress.”She said that word again.Mistress.Like it was a matter of fact.It was similar to the reverent way Zephyr said ‘My Lady,’ only that tbis time I didn't feel as confused as I had back when I met Zephyr properly for the first time.It was clear to me now that this girl definitely knew of my Royal bloodline or something to do with it. It was one thing for her to bear such rich and controlled energy, and another for her to call me that, but her obvious familiarity with Zephyr settled it.But the puzzle was… how did she also bear a connection to the Kyrian Pack?I recalled the invitation that Eva had given me on behalf of the Priestess of the Kyrian Pack.And this girl was her disc

Alaric’s POVI walked out of the prison cells with clenched teeth.Another group of rogues, who had come to rescue Rosalie Blackwood. It made me wonder what exactly that watch had done to cause them to be so desperate to rescue her from our clutches that they would sacrifice multiple teams of rogues.“Execute them all,” I ordered Declan with a cold countenance. The air itself seemed to freeze.“Are you sure?” Declan asked, his brows furrowed. “We could try to get some information from them–”“There is no point to it,” I shook my head, pressing my lips thinly. The excitement of the battle had brought a sharp quiet to the entire pack. The longer this went on, the more serious everyone would take this. “Those rogues do not have much information that I would need.”Besides, I thought, after tonight, the blood oath would be undone and Rosalie Blackwood would be executed tomorrow at the earliest light.And then… we would deal the rogues a killing blow.Declan appeared to understand what I w
