All Chapters of The Alpha’s Betrayed Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

I stood in front of the mirror, my fingers trembling as I touched the diamond necklace around my neck. It was cold, but it felt like a promise. Harden had given this to me when I was just ten years old."Tonight, Sylvia," I whispered to my reflection. "Tonight, you finally become his Luna."For ten years, I had lived for this moment. I wasn't the prettiest girl in the SilverLine Pack. I was the "nerd" who spent too much time with my nose in books and my glasses sliding down my nose. But Harden was different. He was the future Alpha, strong, handsome, and brave. And he was mine.The door creaked open. My mother, Madame Helena, walked in. She didn't look happy. She looked like she was mourning a death rather than celebrating a wedding."You look beautiful, Sylvia," she said, but her voice was flat. She reached out and touched the necklace. "You still wear this trinket? I told you, Harden is not the man you think he is. Being an Alpha is better than being a Luna. You have your own streng

He didn't attack. He shifted right there in front of me, turning into a man with silver hair and a body like a god. It was the Lycan King, the man even Alphas were terrified of.He walked toward me, his scent filling the room. It smelled like rain and power. He pinned me against the wall, his eyes burning into mine."I've been looking for you for a long time, little wolf," he growled, his voice vibrating against my chest. "Did you think you could run from your True Mate?"I stood frozen against the wall. The Lycan King, Kaelen Thorne, was so close I could feel the heat coming off his skin.

My heart was thumping against my ribs.This couldn't be happening. I was a rejected wolf. I was supposed to be broken. But the way my body hummed when he touched me told a different story. My inner wolf, the White Wolf,

I lunged forward and bit down on his shoulder. Not deep enough to kill, but deep enough to leave a mark that would never heal. The Mark of the Outcast."You are rejected," my wolf's voice echoed in everyone’s mind. "You are nameless. You are nothing."I turned away from him. Kaelen walked up to me and placed a hand on my fur. He wasn't afraid of my wolf. He looked proud."My Queen," he whispered.But then, the floor beneath us groaned. A hidden trapdoor snapped open."If I can't have the pack, nobody can!" Harden screamed. He was holding a small remote in his hand.The walls began to glow with a strange, red light. Explosives. Harden had rigged his own home to blow up with everyone inside."Sylvia, jump!" Kaelen yelled, grabbing me.But the explosion was faster. A wall of fire ripped through the room, separating me from Kaelen. The ceiling began to collapse, and the last thing I saw was Harden’s twisted, smiling face as the floor fell away beneath me.I was falling into the dark, and
