All Chapters of Betrayed Luna, Claimed by the lycan King : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Vaerith“Ha… ha… ha…” I watched her drag in those shaky breaths. She was still way too weak to push herself up on her own. Every tear that slipped free rolled down her cheeks like tiny crystals. I hadn’t realized I could get this angry until I saw her crying. She clearly didn’t want to talk about whatever nightmare she’d just lived through. What the hell had she been hallucinating?“I-I’m fine, Alpha Vaerith,” she managed, pulling herself back together bit by bit. It was like she was rebooting into the real world after being stuck somewhere between nightmare and reality. I knew that feeling too well.My fist stayed clenched tight behind my back so she wouldn’t see. I was crouched right in front of her, one knee sunk into the damp, muddy ground. Her entire back was caked in dirt and whatever toxins had soaked into the soil. I’d carried her all the way to the far side of the forest, and it hadn’t been easy. Even for a Lycan Alpha of my strength, hauling her while my head spun had been b

Nyra VirellionDreams… dreams… dreams…They had become a nightmare for me after everything that just happened.After the vehicles showed up one for my medical escort, one for the investigation team and their gear, and the other two for security and backup I was sent straight back to the palace.On the ride there, my mind stayed sharp and aware of everything around me, but my body simply wouldn’t cooperate.“Hey, it’s okay. Oh Goddess, her heart is racing. She’s in shock, isn’t she?”“I’m afraid so, healer. And she doesn’t even have a wolf. Such a rare case. You’re strong, Nyra Virellion. You… you’ll be alright. Just stay with us.”A younger woman spoke first, then the older healer reassured me. Both of them wore uniforms that looked a lot like human doctors and nurses. The van rode smoother than I expected probably because it was one of those specially built vehicles.Huh…?My thoughts had never felt this detached before.I feel so weak…“I think it’s time we give her a dart.”Dart?W

Nyra“She’s not in a good state right now. We really shouldn’t bother His Majesty. He’s already swamped with canceling the Trial. Oh man, you have no idea the mess he’s dealing with. The other pack rulers and emperors are furious with him. But they need to understand Alpha Vaerith would’ve reacted the same way even if it wasn’t a woman. He can’t stand anyone trying to win by cheating. You don’t need to worry about him or the victim.”“What about the culprit, Beta Raelor?”“Oh, her? We’ve always had a bad feeling about that one. She never bothered hiding how much she hated Lun I mean, Contestant Virellion. She’ll be dealt with soon enough.”I leaned my head against the door, listening to their conversation.They were being ridiculously loud for no reason, especially Beta Raelor, who sounded like he was addressing a whole crowd.I didn’t dwell on it too much.Over the last little while, I’d picked up a lot about Alpha Vaerith just by eavesdropping.Other people passing by my room had be

Nyra VirellionI… smiled.When I opened my eyes after realizing he wasn’t going to say anything about me finally accepting his advances, he hit me with words no one had ever said to me before.Who would’ve guessed the Lycan Alpha of the Whispering Pines Pack was such a poetic, hopeless romantic?“Is that all you’ve got for me, Nyra Virellion?”“T-That’s all,” I said, accidentally stammering.He chuckled at my reaction and gently brushed a stray tuft of hair behind my ear. The simple gesture sent butterflies throwing a full parade in my stomach, marching off toward places I wasn’t ready to admit out loud.“You’re adorable, Nyra. Ever since I first saw you harsh facade and all you’ve always been the cutest little thing in my eyes. Maybe… I just see the innocence still in you.”“You’re way off on that, Alpha Vaerith. I’m nowhere near innocent anymore. I might have been… back when my parents were still alive. But after that night, everything in my little world changed. No one deserves the

NyraThe chaos from the incident had finally died down. The final list of contestants was out, and both Oryndor and I had made the cut. It was just five of us: Caelyra, Oryndor, two other guys I didn’t know, and me. I hadn’t managed to learn anything about those two men because a certain someone kept giving me vague little hints every time I tried to ask about their backgrounds.I needed real information so I could plan proper battle strategies. Knowing where they came from could seriously change how I performed.“Hey!”“Whoa!”I’d just stepped out of the library into the corridor when a heavy body suddenly jumped on me from behind.“The books might have fallen, genius!”“Does it look like I’d miss a chance to scare you with a pile of falling books? Nah, that’s not me, Virellion.”I rolled my eyes at him.“So? What’s your strategy?”“First rule of winning never let your enemies know your stance. Who knows? You might use it against me later.”I scoffed.“What a friend I have. And what
