The packs outcast Luna (Kaia and Theo) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 004

The council doors slammed shut behind me and I was shoved into the cold night air.

Guards gripped my arms like iron, dragging me down the steps.

The crowd was already waiting. They erupted the moment they saw me.

“Traitor!”

“Murderous monster!”

“Get out of our pack!”

“Leave, or die!”

The pack’s fury rose like a storm, their faces twisted with hate.

Some hurled stones at my feet while others spat on my face.

I forced myself to keep my head high, though every step felt like a dagger to the chest.

This was the same pack I had healed, protected, bled for. Now they wanted me gone—or dead.

Then a soft voice stopped the chaos.

“Wait.”

Liora stepped forward, her face swollen from fake crying.

One hand rested protectively on her flat belly, she looked as pure as a dove , the contrast picture of me, who looked like a haggard criminal.

The crowd immediately quieted, bowing their heads slightly as if she were already their Luna.

“Stay away, my lady. She’s very dangerous. She might attempt to harm you and your baby” The Delta said, urging Liora back.

He looked at me with disgust, as if I was going to cut through my chains and kill her.

“I beg you,” Liora said, her voice trembling. “Let me speak with her… just once. She was my Luna, after all.”

Gasps rippled through the crowd when Liors spoke. They looked at her with admiration. They were moved by her facade.

The guards hesitated, glancing at Draven’s men for guidance. At last, one gave a reluctant nod.

My stomach twisted. I knew this was no act of mercy.

Liora approached slowly, eyes glistening with false tears. Her perfume is sickeningly sweet. She leaned close enough that only I could hear.

“You look so small like this,” she whispered, lips curving into a cruel smile. “Dragged in chains, your title stripped, your name ruined. And all because you couldn’t accept that he chose me.”

“Did you hear them? They begged for your head and I saved you. I told Draven banishment would be enough. You should thank me,Kaia…Afterall, without me you’d already be rotting in a shallow grave”

My throat burned, rage choking me.

Liora was deliberately provoking me to my limits, twisting the knife deeper into my heart. I can’t let her.

She wants to see me lose control and snap recklessly in front of these people.

Not like they think any better of me anymore.

“You thought he would fight for you? You thought they would believe you? ” Liora chuckled,mockingly. “Poor Kaia. You’ve lost everything —Your crown, your mate and your pack. So sad”

Pointing to her stomach, Liora reminded. “This child will carry the Alpha’s blood, the future of Silvermoon Pack. And me? Soon, I’ll be Luna in name, not just in heart. And you? You’ll be nothing but a forgotten shadow. By the time my child is born, nobody will remember you anymore”

The guards dragged me forward, jeers chasing me into the night.

I struggled against the chain piercing my skin like hot iron while they roughly dragged me away.

Once we reached the main exit gate of the pack, they flung me out like trash.

And above the noise, Liora’s soft, poisonous whisper lingered in my ears;

“Goodbye, Luna. You’ll die forgotten, while I reign in your place.”

The gates thundered shut behind me.

For a moment, I collapsed to my knees, the world spinning. The jeers of the pack still rang in my ears, cruel and merciless.

They hate me now. They forgot so soon everything we’ve been through together.

I pressed a hand to my ribs where the guards had shoved me, trying to breathe through the sharp sting of rejection that cut deeper than any wound.

I was no longer their Luna. No longer their Kaia. Only an outcast.

But as I lifted my head to the silver glow of the moon,my tears dried. Rage and resolve hardened in their place.

Clasping my ribs, I swore bitterly.

“This is not the end, Liora. It’s only the beginning. I will be back but not as the Pack’s Outcast Luna”
