บททั้งหมดของ Betrayed Luna, Claimed by the lycan King : บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

Nyra VirellionMaybe it’s just me, or maybe it’s the people around me, but I don’t feel stressed or threatened by this selection trial at all. Keeping everything to myself has actually felt easier than usual. My younger self would’ve thrown a tantrum over something like this, but now things seem to be going smoothly. I’m just focusing on training hard for the trial tomorrow.I was walking down the corridor, head down and lost in thought, heading back to my room. The place was completely empty except for me.Then I suddenly bumped into the last person I wanted to deal with right now.“I’m sorry… oh…”My words died in my throat the moment I looked up and saw his face. It was Oryndor Blackveil.“Hey,” he said first.“Hey… hi. Um, I’m guessing you’ve heard the news, right? It spread like wildfire,” I replied with a small chuckle.“A selection process? Really?” He shook his head. “I get that Zephyros and Kaelith Noctyra don’t like you much, and neither do the elders of your pack. But this…

Nyra VirellionMeanwhile, back at the pack, Zephyros and the elders, along with a bunch of other spectators, were gathered around the witches’ globe, watching my every move from the moment I stepped into the wilds. They were picking apart everything I did.“Isn’t she feeling even a bit cold? She’s only wearing a leather jacket,” Zephyros muttered, clearly confused. Inside that jacket, though, I was actually starting to sweat a little around my stomach. Was something off with me?Beta Raelor paused while handing out printed reports and glanced at the globe. He and Alpha Vaerith shared a quick look. Whatever they knew, they weren’t saying it out loud.Alpha Vaerith gave a small nod, and Beta Raelor went back to his work.“She must be using some kind of potion,” Elder Vaelion said with that usual snide tone, like he’d already decided I was cheating. If I’d been there, I would’ve rolled my eyes so hard.“No, Elder,” an Alpha from another respected pack cut in. “She hasn’t taken any potion

VaerithI was eaten up by worry and every other feeling that came with it. Nyra Virellion had gone into that dangerous forest just to prove her strength to the elders of her own pack. I could understand the pressure she’d been carrying her whole life if these were the people who raised her. Complete failures, the lot of them.After mentally cursing them out, I turned to watch the woman coming down the stairs. She wasn’t wearing much, and she clearly didn’t know the rules around here. When I explained them, she just shrugged it off and didn’t bother with anything warmer. It was like she was fine with just a leather jacket and boots.“Nyra!” A familiar man’s voice suddenly cut through the air, making her stop in her tracks. Zephyros and Beta Raelor had already stepped away, giving the two friends some space to talk. I wasn’t about to budge though, not after Oryndor Blackveil and I had grabbed each other by the collar and basically challenged one another over her.From the way they spoke

NyraRight then, my body just took over on pure instinct.I needed to match the raw power and speed of this thing, so I dodged the first swing without even thinking. Barely. My heart slammed against my ribs as I gasped half my jacket was shredded and dangling from its claws. The fear hit me like ice in my veins. This creature was terrifying.The werebear roared right in my face, so I yanked off the rest of my jacket and hurled it at its snout to buy a second. It worked for a moment. I bolted, running faster than I ever thought I could, heading straight up the mountain instead of away. That flipped something in the beast. It started climbing after me, gripping the trunks of trees rather than the branches. This wasn’t some wild animal. It was a skilled hunter.These creatures can live thirty years or more, and this one had clearly been around long enough to master its craft.“AHH!” I screamed as it suddenly leaped onto my back. Its weight drove me straight down into the snow. Thank the

Nyra VirellionThe people who’d been watching me fight through the whole night finally rose from their seats.For the first time, the elders looked genuinely surprised. Everyone else could barely believe what they’d just seen. Almost three hours earlier, right before the pickup, I’d unlocked the most powerful energy my kind could possess. I’d finally gained my wolf.“…Alpha Vaerith. Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” Oryndor Blackveil stared at me through the globe, eyes wide. I’d already tossed the beast’s head far away just to be safe. I didn’t want the basilisk thinking it had won and going after the werebear’s head.“Yes…”Alpha Vaerith smiled. It was just as unexpected for him as it was for me. My wolf had awakened.‘Looks like we have to tell her, Vaerith,’ Tharok said in his head.‘When the time is right, we will. Until then, we need to be careful around everyone here especially the one who still can’t believe what he just witnessed.’ As he spoke, Oryndor and Vaerith turned to lo
