All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

He pulled me into his arms and lifted my chin to look at him. “Shante and I are over,” he said. “You understand that, right?”I nodded. Now it made sense. They weren’t together anymore they were just close friends with history.“I’m glad I met her,” I said honestly.“I’m glad too,” he said. “I didn’t want to hide anything from you I just didn’t know how you’d react.”I smiled. “You were nervous.”I wrapped my arms around him. “You’re calm in fights, but when it comes to your past ”Before I could finish, he kissed me.The kiss started soft, then became deeper and more intense.I kissed him back just as strongly.He lifted me easily, and I wrapped my legs around him.He stopped for a moment and looked at me. “Are you sure you don’t want to stay in Moonblessed and choose a mate ”I stopped him with another kiss.I didn’t want anyone else. I wanted him.He let out a low sound. “Upstairs.”He carried me, holding me close as we moved.I felt safe in his arms.He had protected his sister. H

And for the first time since all of this began I didn’t know what choice I was supposed to make.Cassius POVThe night of the equinox had finally come.We arrived at the alpha’s home in a Jeep. Selena and I sat in the back, Luca drove, and Lucien stayed quiet in front. As soon as the car stopped, the mood changed. It became tense and serious.Lucien turned around and looked straight at Selena.“This is a test,” he said. “For all of us. Especially you.”Luca also turned to her, speaking calmly.“Your heat is coming soon. That means many wolves will try to get close to you. Be careful and don’t trust them too easily.”Lucien’s tone turned harder.“This deal matters. If you break it tonight, you won’t go back with us. You’ll stay here in Moonblessed, whether you want to or not.”Selena raised her chin and looked him in the eye.“I made this deal. I will keep it.”Luca gave her a small, kind smile.“You’re safe here. No one will hurt you. Just stay close to us.”I took her hand and gentl

Luca POV I’ve never pretended to be a perfect man. I know my flaws. But when Selena smiled at me while I held her, something changed inside me. For the first time, I wanted to be better and that feeling scared me. Orion’s words about her had made me angry earlier, and I took that anger out on Cassius. It only made me feel worse and more confused. I carefully put Selena into the car and helped buckle her seatbelt. “You always take care of me,” she said softly. “Even in the car.” I smiled a little. At this point, the seatbelt was just to keep her from slipping around. She thought I was a gentleman, but I wasn’t. Cassius was the real gentleman between us. After closing her door, I moved to the driver’s seat. Just then, Shante came over and quickly handed me a container of food. 

Still, the thought of other wolves being near her especially at that gathering filled me with irritation. I didn’t like the idea of anyone else getting too close.I slowly ran my fingers through her hair while she slept. Maybe it looked strange, watching her like that, but I told myself I was only making sure she was alright.I stayed by her side, finding a strange sense of peace just being near her. Something about Selena had changed me, even if I couldn’t fully explain how.One thing was certain what she decided to do next could affect everything for our pack. If she made the wrong choice, it could all fall apart.She saw herself as weak, but that wasn’t true. She held more power than she realized.Once her heat was over, Cassius should be the one to claim her. That would be the right path. But I wasn’t sure if my wolf or Lucien would agree to step aside.Keeping control was getting harder by the moment.Things would have been easier if she had joined Moonblessed or simply chosen Ca

This was the same Luca who once grabbed me by the throat and pinned me to a tree, speaking coldly about the people he had killed from my old pack. He was the same alpha who chased me through the forest, killed those sent after me, and told me I was the one in danger when Lucien showed up. He also claimed others were too dangerous for me.Now, as he moved with force against me, I realized something clearly this wasn’t about my pleasure. His actions made that very clear.Would he treat me gently like Lucien did? Or would he take what he wanted and leave me unsatisfied, not even letting me finish on my own?If that was his plan, I would wait for the right moment and take care of myself. I wouldn’t let him control what I could do with my own body.But still the thought of finishing because of him was very tempting. The way he moved, trying to find the right angle, made that feeling even stronger.Suddenly, he pulled away with a low growl and let go of my wrists. I gasped and quickly sat u
