Lahat ng Kabanata ng Luna's Rules for a Counterattack: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

A sharp scream from Lilian Wolfhart cut through the chatter, bringing the entire room to a sudden halt.Alicia Wolfhart's face turned ashen. Alicia was Lilian's sister, and her mate was Lucas Nightshade, one of the Elders of the Scarlet Flame pack.With one arm wrapped around the visibly shaken Lilian, she snapped at me, "The Alpha hasn't even spoken yet. What gives a worthless she-wolf like you, who's lost her wolf spirit, the right to interrupt?"For seven years, Alicia had made no effort to hide her contempt for me, often humiliating me in front of the entire pack.I had endured it for seven years for Evan Stormhowl's sake, but today, I'd had enough. I wasn't going to put up with it anymore. Ignoring her, I stared expressionlessly at the stiff-faced Lucas and said, enunciating each word clearly, "If Lilian wants to give birth to Evan's pups, either Evan and I break the mate bond, or there's no way it's happening."As soon as the words left my mouth, Evan, seated beside me, sc

I slipped off the bed, my bare feet meeting the icy floor. Then, I unrolled a sheet of parchment and hurriedly scribbled a letter.After I was done writing the letter, I summoned my most trusted confidant, a loyal servant who had followed me here to the Scarlet Flame pack all those years ago. "Deliver this letter to Ayden personally, as fast as you can."He took the letter, nodded solemnly, and vanished into the night.I threw on an outer robe and headed to another room to pack my things. As I turned a corner in the hallway, muffled moans drifted from the guest chamber."Evan… It's been seven years… I've finally waited long enough…" It was Lilian's voice.Something compelled me forward. The door was left slightly ajar, and through the narrow gap, I saw an unsightly scene.Lilian's legs were spread wide, suspended in the air, swaying lewdly with the intense rhythm of Evan's thrusts. Her cheeks were flushed, and her moans unrestrained. "Deeper, Evan… Don't stop…"Evan's back tense

The full moon hung high overhead. The Forest Shadow pack warriors lay in wait, hidden among the trees just outside the Scarlet Flame territory.I stood at the very front, eyes fixed on the distant glow of flames in the Moon Goddess' Square. The place was alive with voices. The pack was celebrating, waiting to watch their Alpha mark his new Luna.Through the mind-link, Ayden's voice came through. "Ready?""Yes.""Remember, you have only one task tonight," he said. "Capture Evan alive.""Got it."I raised my hand and swept it forward.The warriors shifted instantly. In their wolf forms, they surged toward the Scarlet Flame pack's gates like a black tide. Though the sharp cracks of shifting bones echoed through the night, not a single whimper of pain escaped them.The two sentries at the entrance barely had time to register what was happening before they were tackled to the ground. Their screams were cut short just as the sound left their throats.We poured into the territory and

Late that night, after finishing my patrol, I returned to Alpha Estate. As soon as I stepped through the front door, I saw Evan standing at the end of the hallway. Though he was under house arrest, he was allowed to move freely within the compounds of the estate. I stopped and looked at him. He, in turn, looked back at me too.Moonlight streamed through the windows, falling across his face. He had lost a lot of weight. His eyes were sunken, and his face unshaven. He barely resembled the Alpha he used to be. His clothes hung loose on his frame, like they were draped over a pole."Erin," he called out to me.I didn't respond and instead turned to leave."Wait!" he cried out, catching up to me. "Please, hear me out."I stopped in my tracks but didn't turn around. "Speak."He stood behind me for a long time in silence. Finally, he spoke. "I know nothing I say now will make a difference. But I still need to say it. I was wrong. I was really, truly wrong."I turned to face him. "Do

The day after I returned to the Scarlet Flame pack, I gathered everyone in the Moon Goddess' Square. It was the exact spot where Evan had once planned to mark Lilian.Wolves streamed in steadily, males and females, young and old, filling the square until it was packed. Some stood, some crouched, and some leaned against trees.I stood on the platform and looked out at the sea of faces below.Evan was escorted to the front with his head hanging low. Lilian stood off to the side, also with her head down. She had been released from the holding area and was now doing menial tasks around the pack."I've called you here because I have an announcement to make," I said.Every face lifted toward me. "Starting today, I, Erin Bloodmoon, officially take command of the Scarlet Flame pack as its new Alpha."The words had barely left my mouth before the crowd erupted. "On what grounds?"A male wolf shoved his way forward. He was the one I'd beaten up before. "You're a she-wolf! How dare you cla
