Chapter: Chapter 21Blood stained my shirt. My hands. My skin. It didn’t matter that the wounds on my side had already begun to heal. The stains remained, a reminder of the chaos I’d just dragged us out of. I couldn’t let Raina or the little girl see me like that. So I washed it off, scrubbing harder than I needed to, as if the water could erase the questions running through my head. When we finally arrived at the lake house, the silence weighed heavier than the night itself. The house was my escape—my most private space, far from the noise of the packs, far from Selene. No one but me ever came here. But tonight… it wasn’t just me. I stood outside their room, guarding the door, every nerve awake. My mind wouldn’t stop spinning. Who was this little girl? Why did she carry my mark—the same crescent that’s been etched into my chest since birth? And what the hell did Selene have to do with this? Was I losing my mind? Or worse… had I been played all along? My wolf prowled inside me, restless, demanding

Chapter: CHAPTER 20Kael’s POVIt took me weeks to find her.Every false lead only stoked the fire in my chest. Every dead end, every whisper from rogues and old healers, every wrong turn—I followed them all. I told myself it was for closure. Maybe an apology. But that was a lie.I needed to see her. I needed to make sure she was okay.And then I saw Tara.Tara was always near Raina.I didn’t approach them. I knew I wasn’t welcome. Instead, I followed from a distance. I watched from behind the trees as they laughed, cooked, danced barefoot under the twilight.I had never seen Raina so… happy.She looked free. Full of light. She smiled without restraint, her eyes bright with joy I hadn’t known she could hold. And for a second, I almost turned away. I didn’t want to disturb that peace. I didn’t deserve to.Then the dogs came.Three massive ones, growling, foaming at the mouth.But they weren’t dogs.They shattered the kitchen window and leaped inside.Rogues.My blood turned to ice.I ran before I could ev

Chapter: CHAPTER 19LUCIEN POV “To love her is to burn and never want the fire to go out.”---Immediately I saw Thorne off, I didn’t even head inside. My body moved on instinct.I saddled the horse and rode out, my mind already ahead of me—racing straight to her. To Raina.Maybe I’d give her the horse. She deserved a gift. She deserved the damn world.She made me feel… like a man again. Not a title. Not a throne.Just Lucien. Hers.The thought alone had me smiling like a fool.“Shit, I need to piss,” I muttered to the horse, chuckling. I pulled the reins gently and dismounted. “Stay here, yeah?” I patted the horse's side and tied him to a tree near a bush.I walked in, unbuckled my belt, and relieved myself.The trees rustled slightly. Then a twig snapped.My head jerked around. My eyes narrowed. Another low grunt came from my horse—agitated.I zipped up and stalked back.“Who’s trying to steal you?” I whispered, scanning the thicket.No one.But then, something caught my eye in the grass. A glint. A s

Chapter: CHAPTER 18SELENE POV I adjusted the soft pearl pin in my hair as I stood just beyond the council chamber doors, a poised smile on my lips. My palms, however, were damp. I'd been waiting all day for the meeting to end.Any moment now…I could already hear their footsteps approaching. The heavy wooden doors creaked open, and the Elders began filing out in their long robes, each offering me warm smiles and nods of approval.“Lady Selene,” Elder Morak said, stopping before me. “That was an impressive speech you gave last week. I must admit, we’ve all been quite taken by your composure and poise.”I smiled demurely. “Thank you, Elder.”Another Elder stepped forward. “We believe you’ll make a fine Luna beside King Lucien. Very soon, we hope.”“I would be honored,” I replied sweetly, lowering my eyes.Elder Morak patted my shoulder. “Don’t worry, child. The formal announcement is only a matter of time. We cannot wait to see you seated where you belong.”Their words danced around me like golden music.

Chapter: CHAPTER 17RAINA POV The darkness pressed in tight around me. The air was still, heavy, too quiet. I took a cautious step back, my voice barely above a whisper. “Who’s there?” No answer. My heart thundered in my chest, and I turned, ready to bolt— A heavy weight slammed into me from the side. “Ah!” I gasped, my body colliding with the ground. I fought back instinctively, claws partially shifting, panic rising—until I heard a voice. “Damn girl, chill! It’s me!” I froze. “Tara?!” She rolled off me, laughing, her wild curls bouncing as she sat up. “Hey girl, wassup?” “You scared the living hell out of me!” I swatted her arm, then pulled her into a tight hug. We both burst into laughter, clinging to each other like two long-lost souls. “Where the hell have you been?” I asked, pulling back. “I should be asking you that,” she grinned. “But let me go first. I came back from Las Cruces.” My eyes widened. “Las Cruces? As in, the pack near the border? You were serious abou

Chapter: CHAPTER 16KAEL POV The silence in my room was too loud. It always was these days. I sat at the edge of my bed, fingers gripping the edge of my knees, eyes fixed on the empty space in front of me. Nothing made sense anymore. Not my heart. Not my choices. Not even the woman I thought I loved. Selene. We had history. Real history. Love carved into time itself. Everyone knew it. We were the perfect pair. So why did it all feel wrong? Why did my wolf feel… incomplete? Why was Raina still crawling through my mind like a ghost that refused to leave? I ran a hand down my face and leaned forward, elbows on my knees. Where did it all go wrong? --- I was nine when I arrived at the Frostfang Pack. Filthy. Angry. Alone. I don’t remember my parents' faces. Just smoke. Screams. Blood. The rogues tore through our village like fire, and I was the only one left standing. Dazed. Burned. Starving. Gamma Darius found me and took me in. Said I had the eyes of a survivor. War school harde
