All Chapters of Turning the tide: A Luna's Awakening: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Selina's POVI was so startled that I dropped those keys to the ground.Slowly, I turned back.Elise looked at me for a brief moment, bent down, and picked up those keys."So... What are you trying to figure out here?" She held the keys in her palm and arched a brow."Well, isn't it obvious? I was trying to compare those keys and to see if they are the same," I said bluntly."And... Have you got your answers?" There was a touch of mystery in her voice."Yes. And they're not." I paused for a second. "But that doesn't make you any less of a liar. So, just come clean and tell me what's going on between you and Luka! Are you seeing each other behind my back?!" I felt a surge of fury all of a sudden."Me dating Luka?" She gave me a wide-eyed, what-in-the-world look. "Why on earth would you think that?""Because I saw you and him meeting up in the garage the other day. So, what was that about?" I stared her right in the eye.She shook her head while looking down. "You know what? I met him b

Selina's POVSetting the navigation to Silver Star Co., I sped through my pack and then the ancient, dense forest beyond. With the car window down, the faint scent of pine drifted in, lifting my spirits. It felt almost the same as I was in my wolf form, dashing on my four white claws into the woods, into freedom.…I parked in the lot outside the office building, pushed the car door open, and strode toward the entrance in my silver stilettos.As I walked, the eyes of others followed me, a mixture of curiosity and appreciation in their gaze.There it was again, that familiar, yet long-absent feeling.This time, I walked past the receptionist without bothering to say a word. And from last time, she also learned that I was Luna of the Silver Moon Pack — "Luna Selina".I pushed the elevator button and waited.Soon, the doors opened, and I ran into someone I had just met a few days ago."Luna Selina..." Jake jumped a little when he saw me at the elevator doors.His eyes quickly swept over

Selina's POV"What?!"My mind went completely blank and began to buzz.I could hear her still saying something on the phone, but everything sounded muffled. I couldn't hear anything clearly."I'm on my way!" I didn't care what she was saying anymore, and I had to be with Nora right now.I dashed out of my office, got into the elevator like I was going mad.Getting into my car, I slammed on the gas pedal and raced toward Nora's school.Why would she pass out?What could possibly happen to her?Was it because of her head injury last time, and she had a concussion?No, no. Erick said that Nora was OK, and he gave her a thorough checkup.Or, did she get into a fight with someone again, and this time she was badly injured?My mind was flooded with endless possibilities.I dared not dwell on them, yet I couldn't make it stop.Nora was my everything now. Everything!Violet paced back and forth with a low growl rumbling in my chest. She wanted to take control.I knew, if I shifted in my wolf

Selina's POVI dashed through the dense, unfamiliar forest. A territory strange to me.My keen sense of smell helped me navigate the way to my destination.The evening sun bled its last light across the canopy, surrendering to the pale moon ascending in the twilight. And the air in the woods cooled down.It had been so long since I had experienced this pure, unchained freedom, racing between the towering pines.I could smell the crisp, cleansing breath of pine.My ears caught the faint babble of a creek somewhere in the woods.In that moment, with the wind in my fur and the earth drumming beneath my claws, I remembered what it was to be truly, utterly free as a werewolf.Slowly, I could smell herbs, lots of herbs. So, I know I was close.I hid behind one of those giant pines, shifted back to my human form, and got dressed.I looked around. My eyes caught a glimmer of light in the distance.It was a lone cottage, and its windows were glowing warmly against the surrounding darkness.I w

Selina's POVElise's eyes were blazing. She spat out, "What?!""He's really a piece of work, an absolute jerk!" she shouted.For so long, I'd been holding everything in.Now, watching my friend defend me stirred something inside me, and a small weight lifted."I will go and denounce him before the Alpha Council of the Realm, in front of the Circle of Elder Alphas." My voice was low but determined."It'll be a long way to go. I mean, to denounce an Alpha is like shooting for the moon. He will be exiled from the Realm and become a rogue." Elise looked at me seriously. "You'll need hard evidence to show the council.""The Werewolf Codex is clear: Betrayal of one's mate, seizure of shared assets, and acts of infidelity are strictly forbidden."Then, Elise was silent for a moment."Damn it." She drew a deep breath and said with unwavering certainty. "Count me in!""You don't have to..." I looked at her."No, but I do. You're my best friend, and we grew up together. And there's no way that
