Betrayed Luna's Second Chance Alphas
Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Alphas – Chapter 70

-Deidre-

I came back after I dropped Bella and Dean at the Red Watchers’ headquarters. My heart thundered as I tried to sense Reid. My body felt cold as I looked around. I finall found him sitting up, rubbing his bloodied head.

“What happened? Where is Riley?”

“Riley is with her mother,” Reid said.

“You are bleeding.”

“I am not. The wound is already healed. I am jist dizzy.”

I clung to his hands. My heart shuddered. “Do not leave me. We have things to do tomorrow. Important things. I know this is… this is serious, but Reid, I still want our ceremony to happen tomorrow. Am I selfish?” I whispered as I rubbed his chin and he leaned in closer to my touch.

“No you are not, because I can’t wait to mark you and have your mark on me. It is going to be so good. Your mouth on me…” I chuckled a little and gave him my hand when I heard a loud roar.

“Damn… what is that?”

“That is my best friend,” I said s I pulled Reid up. “come on, let’s see if she needs any help,” I said when Ashelene walked out of the building.

“Hey…”

“I have called the Red Watchers to come and clean the building. There were so many dead wolves,” Ashelene shuddered as another loud roar reverberated along the ground.

Ashelene and I shared a look.

“Who is winning?”

“Or course Riley,” we all said at the same time..

-Riley-

Nadia stumbled back as Rene whirled around towards, snarling, snapping.

“Rene? What are you-“

Rene snapped her sharp teeth as she pounced. I could feel her slight hesitation still, but I knew she would do what she had to. I trusted her.

“I saw it, I saw your memories, the bad ones and I- I am sorry. Why did I not know?” she whispered as she stalked Nadia. Nadia’s face was still morphed into one of disbelief and confusion.

“I think whenever they injected me, it brought back the red eyed thing in me, and it pushed you back.”

“Rene, you are making a mistake,” Nadia said with a growl. “You think you can take me out? You are still so young.”

“Not by herself,” Roman said. My warrior prince. He looked like an angry god ready to shower wrath upon whoever dared hurt us. I smiled a little as Rene’s eyes glowed as she met Roman’s. “Hey there Kitten, are you ready?” he said as he pounced, shifting mid-jump and I gasped. I had seen him a million times, and yet everytime, my body reacted to him the same way it reacted the first time.

Roman’s claws dug through her skin and b***d oozed out. Rene took the distraction and latched her teeth on Nadia’s leg, and pulled. Nadia growled in anger, and shifted within a second, knowing very well Rene wasn’t playing anymore. Her Panther was bigger than Rene, and the same yellow glow danced around the panther.

The morning sun glowed on her golden light, making it look ethereal.

But I was hardly impressed.

Roman’s white light pulsed around him as he let out a loud growl. Everything around us trembled. He was magnificent.

“He is,” Rene said shyly.

“I wish my mate is here now, too,” Gem said with a sigh. I still hold on to the hope that Adrian was alive. I knew he wouldn’t let me go through the pain of living without him. I knew I couldn’t. I already loved the both of them. They are as different as day and night, but they completed and complimented me.

Nadia let out a loud snarl as she barelled towards Roman. Roman was towering over her in his Lycan form, though, and he could easily avoid her advance.

A gust of wind stirred the driend leave around, carrying whispers of impending doom. I could see it, the anticipation of something massive.

I had a feeling that this would end only in death. Either I had to die or she had to, but I didn’t want to die. I had a lot to live for. For two years, I wasted my life with Hiran. Now that I had found amazing men, two wonderful, kind, caring, one slightly grumpy and other charming guy, I was ready to live my best life, and this b***h wasn’t going to take it away from me.

“No, she won’t take it away from us,” Gem said with a howl. I smiled.

As the tension surged, Roman’s and Nadia’s energy crackled around us, intertwining with the very essence of nature.

I could only see and feel the flash of the claws, the sound of the roar, but no one was winning yet. I was already burning to end this and get the f**k to Adrian.

I saw Nadia’s Panther ripping through Karl’s skin. He let out a howl of pain as he kicked the panther away from him. She rolled to the side before jumping up and quickly pouncing on him again. Karl was quick, but she was quicker. Her lean body was more agile than his.

I realized she was concentrating on attacking Karl more than Rene.

Did she really love Rene, in her own twisted, pathetic way?

I would never know, because my closure was this. She would never talk to me, or tell me why she did what she did.

“Oh no, she is hurting Karl,” Gem said with a hiss.

“No one is allowed to hurt my mate,” Rene said.

With lightning speed, the Rene lunged forward, her claws extended, her canines bared. Her movements were a quic blur as she aimed to strike at the Nadia’s vulnerable flank. I could feel her anger. She didn’t like that Nadia hurt Karl. None of us liked that.

But Nadia’s panther was no ordinary adversary. She felt Rene before Rene’s canines tore into her skin. So f*****g close. With a swift twist of her body, Nadia’s panther evaded the attack, and swiped her massive paw across Rene’s chest.

The impact reverberated through the forest, as Rene was sent sprawling backward. She howled as her body hit the tree. Karl roared and grabbed the Panther by the scruff of its neck. His claws dug into her neck as she struggled and then I saw it. I saw her power becoming instense. It was as if she was only holding back before. The full intensity of her power was blinding. Karl hissed and threw the panther dow. She quickly regained her footing, eyes gleaming with bloodlust. She wouldn’t back down, and she had the power to defeat the both of us.

Rene jumped at the air, and somersaulted gracefully, her claws aimed at the panther’s belly. But the royal panther was quick, and it was as if she could somehow sense Rene’s every move. With a roll, she rolled around and sunk her teeth into Rene’s hide. Karl hissed in anger as he tore her away from Rene and threw her against the wall.

She didn’t stay down, though.

Claws cut through skin and fur, and roars resonated through the forest. Blow after ferocious blow. B***d gushed from tore skin and stained the floor. Everything was a blur. She was so f*****g powerful, even more powerful than Roman. They both had the same power, but maybe because she lived longer, she was more experienced than Karl.

“She is powerful…”

“And we are still thinking.”

Nadia wasn’t thinking anymore. She didn’t care who she hurt. Her movement had grown powerful, her eyes furious. She would win. I needed to focus solely on fighting her and not think about anything else.

“The hulk in you,” Gem said. “But it came only two time and we don’t know what triggers it.”

“The song,” I whispered as I started to mumble the creepy song Doctor Kaspar used to sing. Memories flashed behind my head, and both Rene and Gem g*****d. I felt the pain as if it was happening right now, but I also felt the burn in my b***d.

Seizing my distraction, my royal b***h of the mother’s panther pounced, her jaws aiming for Rene’s throat. Rene quuickly evaded the attack, but she wasn’t fast enough. The claws still cut through her skin and she winced.

The girls shrilly cry. The song floating in the air. The words that a girl shouldn’t hear from her mother. I didn’t know… but it still affected me. It hurt me more than it angered me, but anger was the one I needed now.

I thought about Adrian, my sweet, kind Adrian. The smile… I wondered if I would ever see his smile again, the one that made my world bright. Roman’s smile was like the first dawn, and Adrian’s smile… it was everyday magic.

She hurt him. My eyes grew blurry and an unexpressed rage filled me. It was the same as when I attacked Hiran, but it was also different. I kept thinking about Adrian, letting the pain and anger fill me.

It felt like somehow I was controlling this transformation. I didn’t know how. I saw Karl jumping in to protect me from Nadia. I felt my bones twisting and turning and then I was standing on two legs, maked, and my eyes glowed. Nadia’s panther was now only the outline of red and gray dancing shadows, but I knew where she was.

A loud roar left my lips as I felt my teeth growing over my lips. Nadia turned. Her eyes fell on my naked form and her eyes widened. She was stunned to see this, see me like this.

I shook my head and snarled at her before I pounced on her. She didn’t expect me to shift into this. A grunt left my lips as I glared at her. She made this. She should relish in the sight of this.

I kicked the panther down, and even her power didn’t put me off. The anger ran through my veins. I gripped the throat of the panther with my sharp talons and I felt the nails poking through fur and flesh with a soft, squishy sound.

Nadia howled. I punched the panther in its face.

YOU MADE THIS.

Somehow she understood my grunt and growl. She stood up and slowly back off. But I didn’t want to let her go.

She quickly shifted and looked at me. “I didn’t. It was an accident.”

“BUT YOU USED IT.” My body pulsed with hatred. The blur in my eyes were gone now, and I was back to myself, and my animals were inside me…

“I only did what I have to. I loved you, Riley. I love you.” She didn’t feel shame to lie to me like that. What was this woman?

I shook my head with a scoff. “You didn’t love me. You don’t love me. I am a tool. I am a means to an end as far as you are concerned. I don’t care anymore, Nadia, because you are not getting out of this.”

Karl and I flanked her form both the side and she looked cornered. She was powerful, but she was tired, too.

“I don’t want to miss all the fun,” a voice said, making me jump. I looked around to see Adrian. A quick laugh left my lips, as intense happiness filled me.

“Oh my God, he is here. My Adrian is here,” Gem almost danced in my head.

“You are alright,” I whispered as he walked towards me. He still looked weaker, and there were b***d on his shirt, but he was alive.

“I am, love. I am not going anywhere, yet, Red,” he said as he joined Roman and me.

Roman smiled. “If you had died, I would have killed you…”

“Yeah, makes so much sense. Let’s end this a*****e now,” Adrian said as Nadia shifted once again. We shifted into our wolves.

The fight was intense, and I felt every punch, every kick along with Gem. Gem ushed her down to the ground, and cut her thick black fur with her claws.

She stood up and leaped as energy pulsated around us. It glowed and gleamed before she jumped down and landed outside the circle. The panther looked at Gem one last time, and that was when we heared the engine roaring to life.

Was she trying to get away?

A car came to a halt in the distance”Get the f**k in, Nadia,” a man said and she glared at me before she slowly retreated and started running towars the car, leaping over the bushes and roots and boulders. She didn’t stop.

She was trying to get away.

NOPE.

The three of us ran. I fianlly reached her just before she entered the car. She was naked, vulnerable. I thrust my claws in to her back and pulled down. She wailed in agony as she fell from the car with an agonized scream.

I pushed my claws in to the iside of her neck and watched with satisfaction as b***d gushed out of the wounds. She shouted again, her body convulsing in pain, and there was no hesitation left in me. I was convinced what I needed to do. I had to end her. She deserved to die.

I prowled towards her, and raised my hand, ready to rip her off. Everything was quiet inside me.

“Riley? Let your mother go.” I snarled.

“Who the hell are -” I turned around and gasped. My heart stopped for a second before it started to thunder.

“Father?”
