Chapter: 5Olivia grabbed my hand, pulling me into the crowd inside. The hall was huge, packed with people dancing and talking, their voices blending with the heavy beat of the music. The disco lights flashed overhead, making everything feel chaotic and alive. “Dance, Bella,” Olivia said, giving me a playful shove. “You look like hell.”Normally, I would’ve laughed at her bluntness, but not now. My mind was too tangled, spinning with questions about the pillar, the words, the guy who’d let us in. “Maybe I should’ve just stayed home,” I muttered, half to myself.Olivia shook her head, her curls bouncing. “No, Bella, you’re acting strange,” she said, her voice firm but not unkind. “This place is awesome. Stop overthinking and have fun.”“Maybe I am,” I said, my voice trailing off. “But did you see that guy? The way he…” I stopped, my words catching in my throat as my eyes landed on something across the room. There was another space, separated from the main hall by thin iron bars, like a cage but o

Chapter: 4“Oh my word, look at that!” Olivia squealed, stopping so suddenly I almost bumped into her. I followed her gaze to the side, where she was staring at something across the street. It was a new bar, or at least it looked new. The building had always been there, this old brick place we’d passed a million times, but it had never officially opened. Now, it was lit up with disco lights lining the outside, flashing in patterns that made the whole place look alive. You could feel the heavy beating of speakers coming from inside, a low thump that vibrated through the ground, even though we couldn’t hear any actual music. I figured the doors must be soundproof or something, keeping all the noise contained.“Wow,” Ethan said, his eyes wide as he took in the sight. “That place looks awesome.”“Let’s check it out,” he suggested, already starting to walk toward it. His excitement was infectious, and for the first time all day, I felt a spark of interest. I couldn’t even argue. I mean, I needed some

Chapter: 3“So,” I said, changing the subject before they could start bickering again, “what’s the plan for today? It’s Saturday, no school, no homework—well, not yet anyway.”Olivia perked up, her eyes lighting up. “We could go to the mall. I need new shoes, and there’s that smoothie place we haven’t been to in forever.”Ethan groaned, slumping back on the couch. “The mall? Really? That’s, like, the most boring place ever. Can’t we do something fun, like go to the arcade or sneak into that old abandoned house on Maple Street?”Olivia made a face, wrinkling her nose. “The abandoned house? Gross, Ethan. It’s probably full of spiders and, like, mold or something. I’m not trying to die of an infection today.”“It’s not gross, it’s adventurous,” Ethan said, sitting up straighter, like he was ready to defend his idea to the death. “Come on, Bella, back me up here. You’re not scared of a little dust, are you?”I laughed, shaking my head. “I’m not picking sides. You two figure it out. But if we’re voti

Chapter: 2They exchanged a quick look, and Ethan finally backed off, letting Olivia walk in first. His jaw was tight, like he was biting back a dozen snarky comments, but he kept quiet. Olivia, though, wasn’t about to let it go. She sauntered in, fanning her hand dramatically in front of her face.“Finally, fresh air,” she said, her voice dripping with exaggeration. “I hope you know your smell almost choked me to death.”Ethan’s mouth opened, then snapped shut as he took a deep breath, clearly trying not to take the bait. I turned away, heading toward the kitchen where I could hear my parents moving around, probably making breakfast. I had to get out of there before I burst out laughing and made the whole thing worse. Olivia and Ethan’s bickering was like a daily ritual, and as much as it made me roll my eyes, it was also kind of comforting. It was normal, unlike the dreams that chased me every night.As I already expected, I found them in the kitchen, Mom making breakfast and Dad fastening his

Chapter: 1I was standing at the edge of a cliff overlooking an endless pit, where there was nothing beneath, no life, no water, land, or any sign of life, everything was just still darkness when suddenly curling smokes started rising upwards out of the depth, I stumbled backwards but it was coming right at me, I opened my mouth but nothing came out, after what felt like forever of being glued to the spot I finally found the ability to move my legs, I turned around and ran without looking back, I didn't know if the smoke or whatever was controlling it was still after me, I didn't stop or turn to look I just kept running until my legs hurt so bad and wobbly like I was going to fall and pass out then suddenly I heard an ear-piercing scream ahead of me, I came to an abrupt stop and was met with two pairs of glowing silver eyes staring down at me, I screamed and tried to move back until I landed back first on the ground, and then it was gone, for a moment I just lay there before squinting my eyes op

Chapter: 38I spun around toward the sound so fast, my heart slamming in my chest, and froze when I saw it—a creature, shapeless like the others but so much bigger, towering over us like a living nightmare. Where its eyes should’ve been was nothing but a single, endless, hollow hole, soulless and deep, like it could pull you in and never let go. Its mouth gaped wide, canines jutting out on both sides, long and menacing, glinting in the dim light. The other creatures around froze, like zombies under its command, their twisted bodies going still at its guttural growl. My gaze darted to Alpha Alessandro, and I saw fear in his eyes, raw and unguarded, though he was fighting to keep it hidden, his jaw clenched so tight I thought it might crack. The creature roared again, a long, deafening sound that made my bones rattle, and the sky itself seemed to answer—thunder crashed, loud and violent, as dark clouds rolled in, swallowing the night. Then it charged, its long, shapeless hands—hands that looked lik

Chapter: 37It’s been two days since we got out of Iron Claw, and everyone else is trying to find some kind of normal, settling back into the cave house like nothing happened. But me? I’m a mess, stuck in my own head, unable to shake this feeling that’s been eating at me. Ever since Alexa, my wolf, said she felt a presence, it’s like something’s crawling under my skin, this heavy, twisting knot in my gut that says things are changing, or maybe they’ve already changed, and I’m just catching up. It’s not like anything I’ve felt before, and I can’t wrap my head around it, can’t find the words to explain it. I thought about telling Silvia—she’s been our rock, keeping us together—but every time I try to open my mouth, the words stick in my throat. It feels too big, too strange, like saying it out loud might make it real. So I’ve kept it locked inside, carrying it alone. I was sitting high up in a V-shaped tree just outside the cave house, my legs dangling over the branches, my hands gripping the roug

Chapter: 36Back in iron claw, the sun had completely disappeared into the horizon and night has taken over, patrols were out on duty when a sudden unnatural cold fell upon not only them but the entire pack. The standing patrols exchanged weary glances sensing the change in the air. They lifted their noses smelling for the threat when they burst out of the woods—unnatural twisted creatures. They were everywhere. Only one of the patrols made it back to the pack house to inform alpha Alessandro who had already sensed the change in the air and was marching out of the pack house with his beta.The patrol, panting hard, dropped to one knee in front of Alessandro. "Alpha, they're here—twisted things, like nothing we've seen. They overran us fast. The others... they're gone." His voice shook, blood streaking his arm from a deep gash.Alessandro's face hardened, his eyes scanning the distance where distant howls mixed with unnatural shrieks. He nodded once, sharp. "Sound the alarm. Get the fighters ready

Chapter: 35Katrina’s father stood frozen, his eyes fixed on her, waiting for her to laugh, to say she was joking, to take back her words. But her face remained set, her jaw tight, her gaze steady with determination. Minutes dragged on, the silence heavy between them, and finally, he let out a long, weary sigh, his shoulders slumping in resignation. He turned, his hands moving to close the shutters, each motion slow, as if he were still wrestling with her request. Then he walked to the small stool by the fireplace, grabbed his hoody, and slung it over his shoulder, the fabric hanging loosely. “Come with me,” he said, his voice low, tinged with reluctance, as he moved toward the door. He paused, his eyes scanning her face, lingering on her bare, unprotected features. “You can’t go there like this,” he said, his tone firm, his gaze narrowing. “You need to cover up.” Katrina let out a soft “oh,” barely audible, her eyes widening slightly as she realized her mistake. She hurried down the hallway, her

Chapter: 34After three long days, Adrian had finally stirred from his coma-like state, his eyes opening to a world Katrina had hoped she could shape to her will. She had been so sure that when he woke, she could make him see the truth—Ashley was the reason he’d nearly died, the reason he’d gone to Iron Claw and come back barely clinging to life. Katrina had planned to convince him to let go of Ashley, to turn away from her for good. But her hopes crumbled when Adrian’s wolf took over, a fierce, unyielding presence that shut her out completely, locking her out of his heart and mind. For three endless days, he’d been consumed by a brooding, aggressive state, his temper flaring at the smallest things. He refused to let her sit at the same table, his voice harsh when she tried to approach, snapping at everyone around him with a fury that left her shaken. She couldn’t stand it anymore—she told herself she had to act, and that meant going to her father. Clinging to a faint hope that Adrian might hav

Chapter: 33My heart was still pounding, my mind reeling from Alpha Alessandro’s words—*my children*—like a weight I couldn’t shake. I don't know if i was actually expecting an explanation or whatever but my lip felt like they've been glued together ,my eyes where still fixed on him. Silvia’s voice broke through, raw and fierce. “I don’t fucking believe this,” she said, her tone thick with disbelief, her eyes locked on Alessandro, burning with anger. “Let us go,” she added, her words low, carrying a warning that made my skin prickle with tension. Alessandro didn’t speak, his face still broken, that single tear glistening on his cheek, his mouth trembling. He gave a small nod to one of his warriors, who turned and ran off, moving quickly out of sight. My chest tightened, my breath uneven, waiting for what would happen next. Moments later, the warrior came back, and behind him were the rest of our girls, their faces tense, their eyes darting around, alert for danger. To my surprise, they weren’t

Chapter: epilogue The late afternoon sun bathed the garden in a warm golden glow, casting long shadows across the vibrant flowerbeds and neatly trimmed grass. I sat on the balcony of the pack house, a steaming mug of tea cradled in my hands, my eyes fixed on the scene below. Darius was out there with our ten-month-old son, Rowan, his tiny figure a bundle of energy as he toddled around, mimicking his father’s movements. Darius, ever the patient Alpha, was teaching him the basics of fighting in his human form—simple stances, little punches that were more flailing than fierce. It was the most adorable thing I’d ever seen, Rowan’s chubby fists swinging wildly while Darius pretended to dodge, his deep laughter echoing through the garden. “Look at you, little warrior,” Darius said, his voice carrying up to me as he crouched to Rowan’s level, his massive frame comically hunched to match his son’s height. “Gotta keep your guard up, buddy. Like this.” He raised his fists, exaggerating the motion, and Rowan gi

Chapter: 114When I woke, I was back in our room, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. The bed was warm, the familiar scent of pine and Darius surrounding me. I shifted, realizing the space beside me was empty, and a flicker of panic sparked until I saw him standing by the window. His broad silhouette was outlined against the dawn, his shoulders tense, as if he’d been keeping watch over the world outside. He turned, sensing me stir, and his face softened. “Selene,” he murmured, crossing the room in a few strides. He leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to my forehead, his lips lingering. I squeezed his hand, my voice groggy but urgent. “Where’s the baby?” He smiled, pointing to a cradle nestled beside the bed, its soft white linens glowing in the dim light. “Right there,” he said, his voice low and reverent. I sat up, wincing slightly at the ache in my body, and peered into the cradle. Our son slept peacefully, his tiny chest rising and falling, his face relaxed in a way that ma

Chapter: 113I could feel him tensing, his moans growing louder, my name spilling from his lips like a prayer. I pushed him further, faster, until his release hit, his cum spilling as he gripped the bed, his body shuddering. I licked him clean, savoring the way he trembled beneath me, his chest heaving. But then, a sharp, searing pain sliced through my abdomen, and I jerked upright, a gasp escaping my lips. Darius’s eyes snapped open, his pleasure replaced by instant concern. He was on his feet in a flash, his hands steadying me. “What is it?” he asked, his voice sharp with worry. I clutched my stomach, the pain intensifying, stealing my breath. “Darius,” I managed, my voice trembling. “The baby… I think it’s coming.” “Shit,” he cursed, his eyes wide as he sprang into action, running around the room in a frantic search for clothes. I tried to stand, but another wave of pain hit, and I collapsed back onto the bed, a string of curses spilling from my lips. “Dammit,” I hissed, gripping the sheets.

Chapter: 112The pack erupted in cheers, their voices a wild, joyous cacophony that echoed through the night. I could feel their love, their pride, wrapping around us like a warm blanket.When we finally pulled apart, breathless and grinning, Darius kept his arm around me, his touch protective and possessive. “You’re stuck with me now,” he murmured, his lips brushing my ear.“Wouldn’t have it any other way,” I whispered back, my heart so full it felt like it might burst. The elder raised her hands, silencing the crowd. “Pack of Black Oak,” she called, her voice carrying over the clearing. “I present your Alpha and Luna, bound by blood and blessed by the Moon Goddess. May you thrive under their leadership.”Another wave of howls and cheers rose, and I felt a lump in my throat as I looked out at the pack—our pack. Their faces were lit with joy, from the youngest pups to the grizzled warriors, all united in this moment. Megan, Dianne, and Diva were at the front, clapping wildly, while Rhea bounced on

Chapter: 111The others fell into step behind us, their excited whispers and giggles trailing like a soft melody. My dress swished around my legs, the ivory silk catching the light as we descended, and I felt like I was floating—half from the moment, half from the weight of what was about to happen. I was about to become the Luna of the Black Oak Pack, officially bound to Darius in front of everyone we loved.We stepped out into the evening air, the sky painted in deep indigo with the full moon rising, casting a silvery glow over the pack lands. The grand hall’s outdoor venue was breathtaking, transformed into something straight out of a dream. Lanterns hung from the trees, their soft light dancing across tables draped in white linen, adorned with roses and ivy. Pack members stood in a semicircle, their faces bright with anticipation, their eyes following me as we approached. The air hummed with energy, the kind only a pack under a full moon could summon.And then I saw him. Darius stood at the

Chapter: 110“Not a chance. The pack’s got this. You go be a Luna and leave the kitchen to us.”I laughed, exchanging quick greetings with a few pack members who passed through, their faces bright with excitement for the ceremony. Their energy was contagious, but I could feel the weight of the day settling in. I was about to head toward Darius’s office to find him when the low rumble of an engine caught my attention. A sleek Hilux pulled into the driveway, its tires crunching on the gravel. I paused, curiosity piqued, and spotted Darius emerging from the hallway, his broad frame filling the space as he strode toward me, his eyes scanning the scene.The driver’s door opened, and Leon stepped out, his familiar lopsided grin lighting up his face. He circled the truck to open the passenger door, and out stepped Lissa, her eyes sparkling with a love-struck glow that made my heart squeeze. She looked radiant, her hand tucked into Leon’s as they approached, and I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of t
