The Betrayed Luna Claimed By The Lycan King

Isabella's POV

[Flashback]

"A little more," I said to myself.

The loose soil squashed between my palms as I slowly eased the soil about a bunch of moonleaf herbs. Their green leaves were pale and delicate and stubborn by turns as I touched them. I had grown these plants myself, and I had seen them slowly rooting in the course of the last year.

This garden always was my solitary spot.

Since I was the Luna and healer of Shadowfang Pack, I spent most of my free time here. The plants of this garden were not purely decoration or hobbies. All the leaves and roots and flowers were useful. Some healed wounds. Some lowered fever. Others soothed agitated wolves in their painful transformation.

I dusted my hands, slowly caressing my tummy aso felt a little kick.

A slight smile crept upon my face.

"Hello, baby," I mumbled, rubbing my belly. "I'll go eat soon hm? Sorry for starving you."

The wind passed through the garden with the light smell of herbs and fresh soil. It was peaceful. Too peaceful.

"I wonder what you will be like," I thought to myself. Will you be like your father or like me?

I hesitated and reflected about Adrian.

My mate.

Alpha Adrian Blackwood of Shadowfang Pack.

A weight sunk in my chest.

Our relationship wasn't the typical Alpha and Luna relationship. Adrian was aloof since the night the moon goddess paired us together, I tried to make him warm but that was futile. After his mother fell ill. He had paid most of his attention to how she was treated and when she died he forgot that I existed.

Nevertheless, I had wished that this child would make a difference.

I turned  around and looked along the road and beheld a small pack messenger running at my direction. He breathed in an irregular manner and his pose was rigid with impatience.

"Yes?" I asked.

He bowed quickly. "The Pack Council want you to be at the meeting room at once."

I frowned slightly. "The council?"

"Yes, Luna," he replied quickly. "They said it is urgent."

My stomach tightened.

The council seldom summoned anyone without warning, more so not the Luna.

Still, I nodded. "Very well. I'll come."

The walk to the Meeting room was longer than it should have been. 

Two guards moved aside and allowed me to go through as I went close to the big wooden doors. Their faces were abnormally grave.

That queer pain in my heart was intensified.

As soon as I got into the hall, I knew that something was terribly wrong.

Elders of the Pack Council were already seated in their usual places. Their looks were hard and unintelligible.

And in the middle of the room was Adrian.

My mate.

Alpha Adrian Blackwood.

His pose was stiff, and
