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

Chapter: 77Suddenly the scene changed and now I was standing at a battlefield. The soft warmth of the nursery was violently ripped away, replaced by a searing, choking blast of heat. The sound was deafening, a chaotic symphony of human agony and monstrous aggression that assaulted my ears. The air I breathed was thick and toxic, filled with the acrid stench of burning houses, flames, smoke and screams. It was pure, unadulterated war, a visceral nightmare that seemed to swallow the light. My paralysis was gone, replaced by a horrified immobility as I took in the devastating panorama of destruction. The world around me had gone from the quiet moment of creation to the desperate, final moment of its undoing. I felt myself instinctively pull my arms over my head, though there was no immediate physical danger, only the terror of being immersed in such violence. My eyes frantically scanned the chaos, seeking one small point of clarity, one island of recognition in the sea of violence. But among the

Chapter: 76Everything was making sense, yet nothing was making sense. This wasn't a memory; it was too vivid, too immediate. It felt like living a moment I had been excluded from, watching the most crucial instant of my history unfold without me. I was just a spectator of things that have already happened, like I'm watching it through someone else's eyes. It was a terrifying, invasive feeling. I wasn't just observing; I was in the experience, yet utterly unable to interact. I was a ghost in my own past, seeing the genesis of my life through the blurry lens of someone else’s perspective. It felt like being privy to a deeply personal secret, a beautiful, devastating truth that was both intimately mine and forever out of my reach. The fear of being powerless was replaced by the deep, mournful ache of exclusion. He walked to the bed. His steps were quiet, hesitant, as if the floorboards might suddenly shatter this fragile bubble of joy. Every muscle in his powerful body seemed to be straining, n

Chapter: 75Every step was taken against my better judgment, yet I couldn't stop. I matched their slow, measured pace, a reluctant shadow trailing behind their ominous form. He led me to another door and stopped abruptly. This door was different. It wasn't massive like the main entrance to the hall. It was darker, older-looking, and seemed to drink the light around it, yet I could sense a massive amount of energy emanating from it. It felt like a solid wall of magic, not wood or stone. The figure paused, their back still to me, and the air between us crackled with anticipation. This was the destination. This was where the answers, or the end, lay hidden. The moment I walked to the entrance of that door, something snapped in me. It was a sharp, distinct soundless fracture, like a taut cord breaking deep inside my chest. It wasn’t a pain, but a profound, instant release of tension, followed by a terrifying emptiness. The compelling force vanished, replaced by an internal chaos that was far worse.

Chapter: 74I quickly turned around and almost had a heart attack. There was another figure standing right there. My mind scrambled to make sense of the impossibility. They were silent, utterly soundless. They hadn't walked in. They hadn't followed. They had simply appeared. My eyes searched the floor for any sign of disturbance, a scraping sound, a displaced piece of grit, anything to explain their arrival, but there was nothing. It was like they were a part of the shadows, a form coalesced from the very gloom of the hall itself. How did they even get here? The question was more a plea for sanity than genuine curiosity. Magic. It had to be magic, something far beyond the simple manipulation of elements or energy I was familiar with. This felt like a fundamental bending of reality. I felt a sudden, dizzying sense of vulnerability, a profound realization of just how utterly outmatched I was in this place. I looked back to the entrance, but the other two who led me here are gone. The heavy door

Chapter: 73It came not from external fear, but from the internal instability left by the vision. It was the residual energy I'd felt stirring, the unsettling sense of a colossal internal change. The room tilted precariously, and a wave of nausea washed over me. The small, focused sight of my hands wavered. I fought to keep a neutral expression. I couldn’t let them see this vulnerability. I squeezed my eyes shut for a brief, controlled second, forcing the spinning to stop, forcing the nausea back down my throat. I breathed slowly, deeply, a silent exercise in self-control. Then, the moment was over. Without a word—their unbroken silence was more intimidating than any threat—they bent over in unison. It was a synchronized, robotic movement, emphasizing that they were not individuals, but merely components of a directive. Their large, gloved hands reached out. One figure reached for my left wrist, the other for my right. They secured my arms, not roughly, but with an absolute, non-negotiab

Chapter: 72Then came the telltale sounds of metal. Then chains clinging and unlocking sound of heavy iron doors. The clatter was unmistakable, the sound of massive, ancient mechanisms being forced into motion. It wasn't just a simple bolt; it was an elaborate system of security, emphasizing the importance of keeping me contained. I almost facepalmed at the thought of who ever my captor is , that they have to go through all of this just to keep me. A small, perverse twist of pride surfaced. I wasn't just some random prisoner; I was valuable enough to warrant this extraordinary level of security, these layered defenses. How fascinating, I thought, the sudden intrusion of pragmatic curiosity temporarily overriding the fear. It gave me something to focus on besides the painful memory of my Mother. Who might they be and what do they want from me? The questions were rhetorical. Deep down I already know the answer. My mind suddenly raced back to the battlefield. Is everyone else okay? Father, Silv

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

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
