All Chapters of The Last Luna Standing : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Tamara As we arrived back in the pack, I could clearly see pack members stopping in their tracks to stare at us. Their eyes were dripping with judgment. Of course they knew. Word had already probably spread that the outsider had spent the night alone in the woods with their precious Alpha.North ignored them as he marched straight toward the door of his office. I kept my head held high, forcing my trembling legs to keep moving, while Beta Kain closed the doors firmly behind us to block out the prying eyes and voices of the pack.Standing inside the spacious office was Elder Miko. The elderly female elder looked up the second we walked in, her face twisted into a mask of pure disappointment and anger."What is wrong with you, North?" Elder Miko asked. "You are not a child, and you are surely not so stupid that you do not know the severe repercussions of your actions! Do you have any idea what you have just done? You have made a mockery of the trials, and you have made everything ten t

NorthIMMEDIATELY TAMARA LEFT…The heavy wooden door swung shut with a bang that vibrated through the entire office, leaving us in silence with Tamara’s exit. I stood frozen by the edge of the large desk, my hands clenched into tight fists at my sides, my eyes fixed on the empty space where she had just been standing. The raw pain in her voice and the shattered look in her eyes lingered in the room. I still couldn't believe she said she loved me… and I had pushed her away again, driving her further into isolation when all my wolf wanted to run after her to pull her back into my arms."She is getting stronger and stronger by the day," Elder Miko said quietly, breaking the silence.I turned my head slowly to look at the old woman. She was standing near the window, watching the door with a strange expression on her wrinkled face. There was no anger in her tone now. "That makes me happy," Elder Miko continued, turning her sharp eyes toward me. "A true Luna of the South cannot afford t

TamaraMy mind was spinning in circles, completely confused about everything that had happened. North telling me that he loved me, but still feeling the big distance between us left an ache in my chest. Nothing made sense anymore, and the only thing I knew for certain was that from tomorrow, everything would change forever.When I finally pushed open the door to my room, an overwhelming wave of homesickness crashed over me and I needed to hear a familiar voice so I called someone who loved me without conditions or pack laws.Without thinking twice, i went to my box and picked up my phone and dialed her line. After a few long rings, my mother's face shimmered into view."Tammy?" my mother's voice echoed softly through the phone, her eyes filled with immediate concern the second she saw my face. "Are you alright, my sweet girl? You look exhausted."."Mom," I whispered, my voice cracking slightly. "It is finally time. The trials begin tomorrow morning.""Sweetheart," my mother breathed

Tamara I had been running for hours, keeping to the shadows and avoiding the main paths where other candidates might be hunting. Eve didn't tell me anything else after our last conversation. She just told me to stay low today and tomorrow if I could. I knew something was wrong. There was something everyone was hiding from me, and if the goddess let me survive this, I would find out before the end of the trials. Finally, just as the light began to fail completely, I spotted what I was looking for.Tucked away behind a thick wall of hanging leaves was a small, narrow cave-like opening in the side of a rocky ridge.Even better, as I cautiously approached the entrance, I was lucky to spot a bag pack sitting half-hidden in the brush nearby. I dragged it closer with my snout and held it in my teeth. I knew that Inside was a simple set of dry clothing provided for the trial candidates. Relief washed over me, but it was cut short in a single instant.Out of nowhere, a heavy body slammed i

TamaraI bared my teeth, letting out a low growl as I shifted back into my human form and glared up at her. I was battered, bleeding, and definitely exhausted, but I was ready to fight her right then and there if I had to.Serena just laughed and crossed her arms over her chest, looking down at me with obvious irritation."Oh, relax little princess," Serena mocked, shaking her head. "I have no intention of fighting with you here in these woods. Dirtying my own hands on someone as pathetic as you here is a waste of my time. The other girls will do that dirty work for me."She smiled, her eyes flashing with amusement. " But I actually hope you manage to stay alive long enough to make it to the final trials. That is where I want to defeat you. I want to break you completely in front of the entire pack, so everyone can see once and for all that you never belonged by North's side."I swallowed the bitter taste of rage in my mouth and answered, “if you do not want anything to do with me rig
