All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna: Rise Of The Phoenix : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Aurora’s POV: Someone. A chill ran down my spine. She meant Seraphina.“This is bad,” I whispered.Because it meant that she wasn't only after my family, not only after my life and the goal of replacing me.“It is,” She nodded. “That is why I need your help, to destroy as many as we can. The one I found couldn't have been the only one. And what better time than the nights around the full moon?”I pursed my lips.Lyra shifted.“Does this mean she would plant these anywhere? Even in a hospital?” Lyra asked suddenly.I turned to my best friend, brows furrowed.“What do you mean?” I asked.Elder Miriam spoke, cutting off Lyra briefly, “Yes. In fact, a hospital is a place that’s rife with chaotic energy. Life and death occur there at any given time. And even in times of peace, most doctors have intense pure energy. Placing one of those objects there is simply a given.”My chest ached.So she was also likely to act in the hospital.I recalled that Asher had fallen sick the day before and s

Aurora’s POVI went out to see Alaric.He stood out, tall and strong, with an air that made most intimidated. Not I. I was his wife for nearly a decade, and had grown to view him as less of just an Alpha and more of a force of nature, one that I used to revolve my entire life around. I loved him, but now I wasn't so sure if I did.His eyes met mine and I saw discontent in them, and a bit of anger. But underneath I could have sworn I also saw worry within them.“Aurora, where have you been?” he asked, his tone tight. “You didn’t come home last night.”So that was why he was here.I sighed.“I had some overnight tasks to finish at the hospital,” I replied.“Overnight tasks,” he repeated, his brows knitted slightly.He didn’t sound pleased, but the events of my past life had made me used to it. With Seraphina around, he never even bothered looking at me before.“Yes,” I said. It wasn't like I could inform him of the fact that I was currently involved with purging the entire pack of d

Aurora’s POVAlaric sighed, like I had said something to cause more trouble, like I was the one that had to understand and lacked common sense.“Aurora, that's not what is going on really. Seraphina, she… she has nightmares–”“Nightmares that require her to keep a bed with another woman’s mate, it appears,” I shrugged, finding their act funny. Alaric’s was partly pitiful as well, because he was really so blind, affected by dark magic that he didn't even know he was throwing away his life. And Seraphina, she was insidious to the end.I made to walk away, only for Alaric to reach out a hand to stop me. I pulled away like his touch burned. Briefly, I couldn't help my lips curling up in disgust.“I have work to do at the clinic. I will not be here long,” I said with an edge to my words. “You two have the place to yourselves for now.”I walked away, heading towards Asher’s bedroom. Because I still had some work to do.I entered the bedroom to find Asher wasn't at home.It was relieving. B

Aurora’s POVThe next morning I was exhausted once more. The previous night I had spent at least an hour meditating, followed by channeling that latent energy within me to make more sachets. This time, Elder Miriam had said, we would plant them in public spaces around the pack as a protective measure.I arrived at the clinic on time, and clocked in. Lyra greeted me, the ease one of colleagues and best friends who knew each other more than anything. But just as I sat down to enjoy my steaming breakfast in the staff room, there was a knock on the door.“Come in,” I called out, exchanging a confused glance with her before the door opened.The one person I didn't expect to see walked in.“Luna,” Beta Declan bowed, his brows knitted together with obvious concern that made my heart jolt.Beta Declan was not only the Beta of the Pack but someone that Alaric trusted, his loyalty was implicit in everything he did, from his missions to his work on internal affairs. I recalled that in my previo

Aurora’s POVIt was 6pm when we headed out. The evening was filled with joyful shouts, many pack members greeted me, making me feel like I was on edge the entire time. The sachets we had made were in the bags, each of us holding one. Elder Miriam and I led the way. Thank theGoddess that the entire pack was busy with preparing for tomorrow’s party and festival. Even though I was preparing, in a different way.Not by decorating, but by ensuring the dark energy never got a chance to strengthen in intensity under the power of the full moon.I had a sigh of relief, relaxing entirely when the paths before us became empty of people. We had reached the edge of the forest, close to where the western gate was located. When we got to a point we stopped. I looked around, slightly confused by why Elder Miriam had stopped.“What’s wrong?” I asked the Elder.“This is our starting point Luna,” Elder Miriam turned to face me. “I found the purple thing right there,” She pointed at a tree, “hidden und
