Chapter: RUBEN’S WEBPIPER’S POVThe rooftop bar hummed with music and distant city light, but all of it felt muffled under the weight pressing at my chest. Ruben had been oddly gentle when he first sat beside me…businesslike, then almost fatherly in a way that made my skin prickle. He didn’t pry; he didn’t ask the blunt, cruel questions that would’ve made me crumble. Instead he offered small, steady statements that, disturbingly, felt easier to accept than the honest rage I knew I should be feeling.“So,” he said after a long silence, watching my fingers toy with the band in my purse. “You’re not in the mood to talk about what’s wrong with you?”“No,” I said flatly. The word snipped the air like a blade. I didn’t have the energy to explain. Not to him, not to anyone.He raised his hands, palms outward, like a man trying to show he meant no harm. “Alright. Later then. If you want.”I nodded, thankful for the simple permission to be quiet.He took a sip of his drink and watched the city for a moment. “Yo

Chapter: EXPOSED SECRETPIPER’S POVHappiness is such a fragile thing. One moment you cradle it in your hands, the next, it slips through your fingers like water.That evening, I felt genuinely happy. I wanted to surprise Rowan by arranging his room myself instead of leaving it to the staff. It felt like a small act of love, a way to remind him of how far we’d come.I hummed softly to myself as I dusted the table, straightened the books on the shelf, and fluffed the pillows. Everything was going fine—until curiosity got the better of me.I pulled open one of his drawers, smiling to myself. “What are you hiding, Archer?” I teased softly, half expecting to find some forgotten cufflinks or an old notebook. Instead, my fingers brushed against something small and metallic.A chip.It looked ordinary, harmless, almost like it belonged to a camera. For a second, I thought maybe it held movies or documents from work. I shouldn’t have touched it..I know I shouldn’t have. But some part of me wanted to see a little mor

Chapter: SHORT-LIVED JOYROWAN’S POVI never thought those words would escape my mouth. Not to her. Not to anyone. But they had.“I love you.”It was out, raw and unpolished, but truer than anything I had ever spoken.Piper blinked twice, like she couldn’t quite process what she’d just heard. Her lips parted, her eyes wide and uncertain, searching my face for cracks, for insincerity.“Rowan,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Do you… do you mean that?”“Yes,” I said without hesitation, my chest tightening as I knelt there. “I mean every word. I didn’t expect this. I didn’t expect to care this much, to wake up thinking about you, to make your happiness my priority over everything else in my life.” My throat burned as the words tumbled out. “I’m sorry for not listening to you, for doubting you, for making you feel like your voice didn’t matter. I was wrong, Piper. I was wrong about everything.”Her eyes glistened, her face torn between disbelief and something softer.“You don’t have to say it back,” I added

Chapter: AN OUTBURST OF FEELINGS PIPER’S POVThe whispers came first, light as smoke yet heavy enough to settle on my chest.“Isn’t he the one who was drugged?”“How come he’s back already?”“Guess the Archer name makes miracles happen.”I could hear them in the hallways, by the elevators, and even in the breakroom. They thought I wasn’t listening, that I was too wrapped up in myself to notice—but I heard every word.I decided to ignore it. If I let gossip dictate my day, then I’d never get anything done. So, I lifted my chin, forced myself into my office, and buried myself in the avalanche of orders.The ads had worked…too well, almost. Calls flooded in, emails piled up like stacked bricks, and my phone vibrated constantly with updates. I barely had time to breathe, let alone dwell on rumors.By late evening, exhaustion sat heavy on my shoulders, but a small satisfaction warmed me. I handled it. I’d proved myself, again. But as I gathered my things, a quiet unease twisted in my stomach. Rowan wasn’t around. Normall

Chapter: SILENCE ROWAN’S POVWhen Father asked me how Piper had known I was in trouble, the question lodged in my skull like a splinter I couldn't pry out.I stared at him, searching his face for impatience, for a smirk, for any hint that he was playing a game. He simply watched me with that cold steadiness he always wore…like a man who had seen every type of human fail and, strangely, learned to wait them out.“I don’t know,” I said finally, because I didn’t. I grasped at every possibility—had she followed me? Has someone told her? Had she been watching me secretly? Each possibility felt both plausible and impossible. “Maybe she followed me last night. Maybe she heard something. I’m not sure.”Father sighed in a way that meant he was disappointed. “You keep falling into mistakes, Rowan,” he said quietly. The words weren’t venomous; they were factual. Like an observation. Like a conclusion he’d reached after weighing the facts and finding me wanting.“I…” I started. I wanted him to tell me what to do

Chapter: EYE OPENING ROWAN’S POVThe weight of guilt filled up my chest so hard it felt like breathing was a chore. I kept replaying the scene in my head, the moments where I dismissed Piper, brushed off her instincts, told her she was overreacting. And now….now that the dust has settled….I realized she had been right all along.I leaned against the bedroom wall, staring at the dim light filtering through the curtains. The silence in the room wasn’t peaceful…it was punishing.“Piper…” I whispered, my voice cracked, my throat heavy with regret.But she didn’t respond. She just lay on her side, her back to me, her breathing slow and even. Either she was asleep, or she was doing what I deserved…ignoring me completely.I rubbed a hand over my face, frustration and shame colliding. How could I be so blind? I’d been so certain, so arrogant, convincing myself I was the rational one, the level-headed one, when in truth I was the fool. She had seen the danger, felt it, lived it..and instead of listening, I’d mad

The Slave Who Owned The Moon
She was a slave to the pack that slaughtered her family. A rogue Omega, broken, but set for revenge.
Amaya’s world was turned upside down when the Grayhide Pack wiped out her rogue clan, taking her captive. Forced to serve under the Alpha who commanded the attack, she hides her pain beneath a mask of obedience, until fate takes a cruel turn in the darkest way.
Rejected in secret at the mating ceremony, the bond should have broken. But it didn’t.
Every whisper, every touch, every graze the Alpha gives his betrothed, waves of agony meet Amaya. She is forced to watch. Every dream she has is permeated by his presence; he is at every corner she turns to.
Haunted by vengeance, Amaya begins to work in secret, but the more she moves, the more shattering truths are uncovered. What if everything she has been made to believe was a lie? What if she isn’t the only one set out for revenge? What if the person her soul truly craves is totally different from the mate the moon goddess has fated for her?
As her forbidden powers awaken, rewriting the very fragment of fate itself and creating a forge between the past and the present, Amaya must choose between blood and destiny.
Because in the Grayhide Pack, some secrets are deadly, and some bonds refuse to be broken.

Chapter: CHAPTER 83DARIANThe alarm still echoes in my head long after the horn’s last wail dies into silence. The corridors are buzzing like a hive kicked open, servants whispering and warriors rushing in and out of formation. I can feel the unease spreading through the pack like smoke. Something happened in the woods. Something no one can explain.I stand at the head of the council table, fingers pressed flat against the polished wood. Lucian sits opposite, his arms folded casually but his eyes alert, following every word. Theron is pacing, his robes whispering around his ankles, the smug set of his mouth already promising trouble. Evelara is perched near him, her posture graceful, her smile thin, her eyes darting toward me far too often.“Reports say light was seen deep in the northern woods,” Theron says, his tone already sharp. “Bright enough to wake half the patrols and send the guard dogs into frenzy. Warriors claim it was no lantern, no torch. Some swear it tore the sky itself.”Murmurs ripple a

Chapter: CHAPTER 82AMAYAThe woods are darker tonight. Clouds cover the moon, the air heavy with the damp scent of moss and pine. Every rustle of leaves sounds louder than it should, but still I push deeper into the trees. My heart pounds, but it isn’t from fear of what lurks in the forest, it’s from what I’ve chosen to do.Harken’s warning echoes in my mind. But I can’t ignore it anymore. The surges inside me are growing stronger, harder to control. If I don’t understand them soon, they’ll swallow me whole.I stop in a small clearing, far from the house. My breath forms a white puff in the chill air. I rub my palms together, remembering the patterns I traced from the healing texts, the circles, the symbols. My hand still aches faintly from the last burn, but tonight I need answers.“All right,” I whisper to myself. “Slow. Careful.”I press my palms outward, imagining the warmth gathering in my chest and flowing down through my arms. At first, nothing happens. Just the soft sway of branches above me and

Chapter: CHAPTER 81AMAYAThe clinic feels like stepping into a different world. It always has. The smell of herbs clings to the air, sage, mint, lavender, and something sharp I can’t name. Shelves run along the walls, lined with jars of roots and dried flowers, glass bottles catching the dim lamplight. It’s quiet here, tucked away from the noise of the main house, and that makes it easier to breathe.Harken looks up from his workbench when I push the door open. His hair is grayer than I remember, his hands stained faintly green from crushing herbs. He studies me the way he always used to, like I matter. That almost undoes me right there.“Amaya,” he says, setting down the mortar and pestle. “It’s been a while. You don’t usually come here anymore.”“I… needed to talk. And I need it to remain between us.” My voice feels tight, too small in the stillness of the room.He wipes his hands on a cloth and gestures toward the stool across from him. "Then talk. The walls don't listen, and I know how to keep my m

Chapter: CHAPTER 80AMAYAThe corridors of the estate at night had their own rhythm. The servants had long since retreated to their quarters, the echo of footsteps fading into silence. Only the occasional creak of old wood or the sigh of wind through narrow windows broke the stillness.I carried a tray down the hallway, my hands steady, my face blank. Just another errand, I told myself, just another task to keep me invisible. The truth was, I'd taken the long way back to the kitchens, hoping for a moment of solitude.But then I heard voices.I froze mid-step, the sound sharp against the hush of the corridor. I heard two women, their voices were soft but cutting, like silk drawn across glass. Instinct pulled me closer, my body pressed to the cool stone wall as I strained to listen.In hindsight, I really needed to stop eavesdropping on conversations since the things I've heard had the potential to put me in trouble, but I guess I never learned.“…he’s wasted on this place,” Lirra’s voice said, sweet and

Chapter: CHAPTER 79LUCIANThe council chamber was thick with the weight of too many unspoken words. Shadows clung to the vaulted ceiling, disturbed only by the flicker of torches lining the stone walls. Murmurs passed like restless winds between the elders, their eyes sharp and calculating, always looking for weakness.At the head of the chamber sat Darian, spine straight, jaw locked in that familiar iron mask he wore when the pack was watching. He was every inch the Alpha, commanding, immovable, but tonight I saw something else in him.His gaze.One of the things that made Darian such a commanding alpha was his gaze. He had a gaze that would make even the strangest soldiers cower in fear. His gaze commanded respect.I have heard a lot of the servants say that they avoided looking him in the eye because they don't want to fall under his gaze, especially when he's in a bad mood.During council meetings, he liked to move his gaze from one member to another, especially the speaking member of the council.T

Chapter: CHAPTER 78DARIANLately, my days have been quite uneventful, which was a nice change in pace from the things I've been dealing with.Having a few moments of peace where I don't have to worry about the territories or the borders was always welcome. It made me feel like I was at least doing something right with my pack, even though my personal life was currently in shambles.Speaking of reprieve, Evelara seemed to have gotten tired of me, considering she hasn't disturbed me in a while.But I should have known it was too good to be true because Evelara is waiting for me when I step into my chambers.She’s perched in my chair near the fire, back perfectly straight, her silken robe sliding just enough to bare a shoulder she knows most men wouldn’t ignore. The flames flicker across her hair, turning it to polished gold. Her expression, though, is anything but warm.“You’re late,” she says, voice sharp.I shut the door behind me with more force than I intended. "I had work."Her lips curl. “You always
