Chapter: Side story 11GWEN 10 YEARS LATER The pack house was filled with noise and movement from the early hours of the morning. Today was my second son, Alex's seventh birthday, and no one was allowed to sit still for long. I had been up since dawn, checking the decorations in the hall, making sure the cake had arrived, and giving instructions to the omegas who were helping with the food. “Please put the extra tables near the windows,” I said, pointing at the far end of the hall. “And bring out the chairs from the storage room. There will be more guests than usual.” “Yes, Luna,” they replied quickly, hurrying to do as I asked. The children were outside already, running and screaming with excitement before the party even began. I could hear their laughter through the open windows, and every few seconds my daughter Raya’s voice rang above the others, usually bossing her brother around. “Raya!” I shouted from the doorway when I caught sight of her hitting Alex with a stick. “Do not hit your brothe

Chapter: Side story 10ALPHA CONAN The cell was silent except for the faint dripping of water. Archer’s chains clinked when he shifted slightly, but he had no real strength left. He hung against the wall, skin torn and bruised, yet still smiling.That smirk was the last straw.I stepped forward and slammed my fist across his face. His head snapped to the side, blood flying from his mouth. He groaned but then gave a short laugh.I punched him again, harder, until the smirk vanished. His lip split open, and blood ran down his chin.“Laugh now,” I growled, grabbing his hair and yanking his head back.He spat blood at my feet. “This is all you can do?”I kneed him in the stomach, the air rushing out of him in a harsh grunt. While he struggled to breathe, I clawed at his chest, dragging deep lines into his skin until the blood poured freely. His scream echoed through the stone chamber, raw and sharp.I leaned close. “This is for every thought you had of her.”He groaned, trying to lift his head, but I smashed h

Chapter: Side story 9ALPHA CONANI had not spoken a word of this to Gwen. She thought Archer had disappeared without a trace, but I knew better. Men like Archer did not disappear quietly. They hid, they plotted, and they waited for a moment of weakness to strike.For weeks, I gathered pieces of information quietly. I did not question anyone directly inside the Mystic Pack, because word traveled fast and I could not risk Gwen hearing of it. Instead, when I traveled for meetings or border patrols, I pressed for answers from warriors of other lands. Some claimed they had not seen him. Others said he had crossed their territory briefly but left in haste. Then, one night during a meeting at the southern border, I got word from a man who dealt in supplies that Archer had been taken captive in Alpha Oren’s lands.I said nothing then, but the moment I returned to my office I began planning my trip. I had not told Alpha Oren about my visit, it was too delicate to talk about over the phone.Rian offered to accompa

Chapter: Side story 8GWENI woke up to the sound of thousands of voices filling my head. They overlapped and rushed through me like a flood, men and women, young and old, some laughing, some arguing, some worrying. It was unbearable, and I let out a groan, clutching my head with both hands.The sound was not outside…it was inside my mind. I could hear them all at once.Conan stirred immediately beside me, his hand reaching for me. His voice came sharp with worry. “Gwen, what is wrong?”I whimpered, unable to stop the sound that left my throat. “I can hear them. All of them. Every single voice. It’s so loud, Conan. Stop it please.”His tone softened instantly, filled with understanding “It is the bond. It opened completely last night. You are connected now, not just to me, but to the entire pack through me. It is too much at once. Look at me, Gwen.”I shook my head, rocking slightly, pressing my palms against my ears as though that would block it out. “It will not stop. It will not stop.”He sat up quickl

Chapter: Side story 7ALPHA CONANThe forest echoed with the sound of paws hitting the ground. I chased after Gwen, and every time I thought I was close enough to catch her, she pushed herself faster, her silver fur flashing between the trees. She wanted this chase, she wanted to test me, and I was more than willing to give her everything she asked for.I pushed harder, matching her speed, closing the gap between us little by little. She darted left and right, but I refused to give her the satisfaction of escaping. Finally, as she slowed to glance back at me, I surged forward and leapt. My weight pressed her down just enough to pin her before she twisted around and pushed me off, growling in play.We circled each other, snapping harmlessly, teasing, testing strength. She jumped forward and pushed me again before darting back with a playful bark. I followed, and soon we were running side by side, neither giving up ground, both filled with raw energy.When the teasing had gone on long enough, I huffed, telli

Chapter: Side story 6ALPHA CONANWhen I entered the room, Gwen was already asleep. The moonlight came in through the window and rested on her. She looked so peaceful that for a moment I just stood there, watching her breathe. I asked myself how I could have been so blind before, how I could have taken so long to see what was in front of me.I walked quietly to the bathing room, took off my clothes, and let the water wash away the sweat from training. When I was done, I dried myself and came back to bed. I slid under the blanket carefully so I would not wake her, but she stirred almost immediately. Without opening her eyes, she moved closer to me, her body pressing against mine.A smile came to my lips as I wrapped an arm around her.“You are back,” she mumbled, her voice heavy with sleep.“Yes,” I answered softly. “I am done training.”“Good,” she whispered. “Now sleep.”I brushed my hand down her arm. “Go back to sleep, Gwen.”She let out a tired sigh, then the words came faintly from her lips. “I love y

Rejected Luna, Fated to the Exiled Alpha
"I promise you... when I return, I'll finally make you my Luna."
How could I have been so stupid to believe him?
For three years, I faithfully served as the acting Luna of Moonpeak Pack, holding onto my chosen mate's promise that he would make me his Luna when he returned. If I had known he would come back with another woman by his side instead, I would have walked away long before he ever returned.
Cast out, betrayed, and forced to survive as a rogue, Hannah loses everything she once believed in, until fate leads her to Derek, an exiled Alpha who has nothing left except a broken past and a heart still capable of love…Together, they begin to build a new life together as mates.
With no pack to call their own and danger closing in from every side, Hannah and Derek must fight to protect their love, their unborn child, and the future they refuse to lose even when old flames threaten to arise.
With two Alphas fighting for her, a pack waiting to be reclaimed, and a child on the way, Hannah soon realizes that the greatest battle is not for a title…but for the future she is determined to protect

Chapter: chapter 6HannahI stood inside the bedroom, my heart pounding against my ribs,as I tried to hear what they were saying outside, and the word "Alpha" still echoing in my mind. If Derek was just a lone wolf living in the woods, why did someone call him that? My curiosity won and I leaned forward, pressing my ear against the cool wood of the door to catch more.I strained to listen, but the door handle was old and loose. As I shifted my weight, my hand slipped, and the handle turned under my palm. I lost my balance. I stumbled forward, my feet tangling in my own legs, and I crashed through the door, landing hard on the wooden floor of the outer room.My face heated up with total embarrassment. I scrambled to get up, my hair falling into my eyes. I looked up and saw Derek standing there. Beside him stood a massive man with a thick beard and tired eyes. They both looked at me, surprised.My first instinct was to run. I did not know who this other man was, and I still did not know the truth about

Chapter: chapter 5HannahI woke up slowly. The air was warm, and the smell of fresh rain and the forest filled the room. I was lying in a soft bed with thick blankets tucked tightly around me. I looked at my hands and sat up quickly, my heart beating fast. Where was I?The room was small but clean. A fire crackled in the stone fireplace, casting a soft orange glow over everything. I heard a quiet sound near the door, and the man who saved me walked into the room. He carried a wooden bowl with steaming soup.He stopped when he saw me sitting up. He stayed near the door, keeping his distance to show he was not a threat."You are awake," he said. His voice was really deep. "I am Derek."I stared at him. Up close, I saw his dark, kind eyes and the strong line of his jaw. As he stepped closer, the scent of rain and pine grew stronger. My heart began pounding again. My wolf recognized him fully now. The bond pulled at my chest, warm and overwhelming.He was my true mate.Derek set the bowl down on a small

Chapter: chapter 4Hannah The cold was no longer just outside; it had settled deep into my bones. I had been walking for three days without a real meal. My body felt like it belonged to someone else. Every step was a fight against gravity. I was not just hungry; I was completely empty.I reached a small, rocky overhang near the base of a dark cliff. It offered little protection, but it was all I could manage. My legs gave out, and I collapsed onto the freezing ground. I curled into a ball, pulling my tattered dress tight around me, but it did nothing to stop the shivering.I stared at the dark forest ahead and I thought about the Moonpeak Pack. I thought about Brian, who had thrown me away like trash, and Ava, who had stolen everything I had ever loved. I remembered my brother, the last person who truly cared for me, and the way I had felt when his light went out.What was the point?I was tired of being hunted. I was tired of being chased away from every border like a disease. I was tired of the hung

Chapter: chapter 3HannahBrian finally released his grip, and I collapsed onto the cold kitchen tiles. Air rushed into my burning lungs, fast and painful. I clutched my throat, coughing until my chest ached. I looked up at him, pleading for a shred of mercy from the man who had promised to love me, but his eyes were flat, cold stones."Brian, please," I rasped. "I did not do it. She lied to you.""Shut up!" he roared. He turned away, his voice dripping with disgust. "Get her out of my packhouse. Throw her out of the territory immediately.""Brian, no! This is my home!" I screamed, but it was useless.Three guards lunged forward. They pinned my arms, their fingers digging into my skin, and dragged me toward the back exit. I kicked and fought, but I was weak from the shock. As I was dragged out, I glanced back. Ava stood behind Brian. She cradled her hand, but her eyes were fixed on me with a sharp, triumphant smirk. The memory of her voice echoed in my head: “You will leave when I say you leave”.They

Chapter: chapter 2HannahLater that evening, I walked to Brian's office. I needed to speak with him alone. I knocked on the heavy door."Come in," Brian called out.I walked inside. He sat behind his large desk, buried in paperwork. "Brian, we need to talk," I said.He sighed and put his pen down. "What is it, Hannah? I am very busy.""I am teaching Ava as you asked," I started, keeping my voice steady. "But I want to talk about my future. Even though I am hurt, I do not think I should have to leave the pack when I am finished. This is my only home. My friends are here. I will step down from any authority, but please, do not force me away."Brian frowned. "We already discussed this.""I know," I said. "But you broke your promise to me. I deserve to stay in my home.""You cannot stay, Hannah," he said coldly. "My mate is not comfortable. Ava knows about our past, and she wants you gone. I agree with her. It is better for everyone if you leave."I stared at him. This was the man I planned to spend my lif

Chapter: chapter 1Hannah"I promise you... when I return, I'll finally make you my Luna."I remembered Brian’s exact words. He said them to me two weeks ago in front of the whole pack before he left for his meeting and today, he was finally coming back home.I felt so excited I could barely stand still. I woke up very early this morning. I put on my blue dress because I wanted to look perfect for him. For three years, I worked as the acting Luna of the Moonpeak Pack. I managed the food, helped organized the patrols, and assisted the pack members. I loved the pack, and I loved Brian. We planned to lead the pack together and my dream was finally coming true."Good morning, Hannah!" Mark, a young warrior, called out as I walked through the main hall. He bowed his head to show respect."Good morning, Mark," I replied with a wide smile."The Alpha is coming back today. We are all very excited for you," he said. "You will definitely be our official Luna by tonight.""Thank you, Mark," I said. My heart felt

Chapter: chapter 116TamaraI pushed myself off the freezing floor, wiping the cold water from my eyes as my chest heaved with anger. I stood tall, staring right at him through the rusty iron bars."I knew it," I said, my voice dripping with disgust. "I knew you were a lying, backstabbing traitor."Victor’s lips curled into a smug and arrogant smirk as he casually moved forward. "Do you honestly think I care what you think, Tamara? Did you really think I was ever trying to hide it?"He stepped closer to the bars, his eyes flashing with bitter resentment. "North is not a good Alpha. He never was, and he sure as hell doesn't deserve to lead Nightsword. I should be the Alpha! I am going to take our pack back to the way it used to be, back to its true glory. Not this pathetic, soft rubbish North is trying to push on us! Scrapping the traditional Luna trials? Trying to make us 'modern' and weak? It's stupid! It's completely useless! He isn't fit to wear the crest, and I'm going to make sure everyone sees that.

Chapter: chapter 115Tamara"Your... daughter?" Eve whispered, her voice barely a breath in the damp freezing dungeon.Alpha Nolan let out a low laugh, "I was quite surprised myself when I first heard that my beautiful mate was pregnant when she ran away all those years ago," he said, his eyes gleaming with a twisted satisfaction. "But it's fine now. She’s right back where she belongs, with me. And she is never leaving my side again.""You're completely out of your mind," I spat, gripping the cold iron bars until my knuckles turned white."Crazy?" Nolan growled, turning his gaze back to me. "Try being separated from your true mate for almost two decades, little Luna. Try leading a damned pack without your other half, feeling that hollow rot in your chest every single day... all because two filthy lunatics lied straight to my face and told me my mate never crossed their borders!"My eyes widened as the realization hit me. He was talking about North's parents. They had kept Sarah, hiding her from Nolan all

Chapter: chapter 114NorthThe fight hadn't lasted as long as I expected. Despite being caught off guard, the Nightsword warriors had adapted quickly, turning the tide and completely wiping out the Frostbane attackers.Yet, as the last enemy wolf hit the dirt, a cold dread settled deep in my gut. Something was terribly wrong. Nolan wasn't among them. He hadn't shown his face once during the attack, and there was no way a man as arrogant as him would miss an opportunity to watch us bleed.I turned my head toward Kain, who was wiping blood from his forearm. "Kain! Is everyone accounted for?""Everything is under control," Kain called out, taking a deep breath. "The perimeter is clear. We pushed them back, Alpha."I nodded slowly, but the gnawing anxiety in my chest only grew louder. Reaching into our private bond, I opened the mindlink.“Tamara? Are you alright? It's over.”Silence.“Tamara?” I called again, my heart starting to hammer against my ribs.Nothing. I pushed my senses out further, straining to f

Chapter: chapter 113Tamara I was deep in sleep when I was violently jolted awake as North’s hands gripped my shoulders hard. His green eyes were wide, staring down into mine in the dark."Tamara! Listen to me," North ordered, his deep voice cutting through my panic, "I need you to move now. Get the women and children down to safety. Everyone knows where the bunker is, so you lead them there immediately.""North—" My heart slammed wildly against my ribs as I tried to sit up. "What's happening?""Frostbane attacked," he growled, his body tense and ready to burst through the door. "You stay in that bunker. Understand me? I will come back and get you when it's over.""I can fight, North!" I argued, my voice rising as panic threatened to choke me. "I can stay out here and–!""Listen to me!" he cut me off, grabbing both sides of my face, forcing me to look directly into his eyes. "I know how strong you are, Tamara. I know you can fight. But I cannot fight out there if I am constantly terrified that you aren'

Chapter: chapter 112 Tamara Two days had passed since then, but the silence around us felt too much. It was almost too quiet, like something terrible was waiting to happen. I still could not forget Eve’s mother, trapped in her battered wolf form and lashing out in fear. That evening, North called a private gathering in the war room. Instead of a normal number, it was a tight-knit circle composed only of those closest to the center of the chaos, Kain, Serena, Elder Miko, and myself. I stood right next to North, my hand resting against his arm as we reviewed the pieces we had managed to pull together. I broke the silence in the room, letting my thoughts finally spill out. "I think Eve's mother is Nolan's mate." I let the words settle in between all of us. Everyone turned to look at me, surprise showing across their faces. Elder Miko was the first to speak, her wise eyes narrowing slightly as she considered my words. "I agree with Tamara," she said slowly, leaning on her cane. "Looking back... years ag

Chapter: chapter 111TamaraThe wind whipped through the trees as Serena, North, and I rushed back into the pack territory. As we burst into the clearing, the first thing that caught my eyes at a distance was two wolves locked in a standoff.One I instantly recognized as Raven. He was big and brown and the other wolf was much smaller, its fur bearing ragged, ugly marks of old claw swipes, angry burns, and strange, patched skin. I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth in pure shock. I had never seen a wolf in such a terrifying, mutilated state.Standing right between them was Eve, her arms spread wide, trying desperately to keep them apart. Not a single pack member dared to step forward or interfere.North let out an authoritative growl as he pushed his way directly between the two beasts, his eyes flashing dangerous gold. "What the hell is going on here?"Eve turned her head, her face pale and streaked with tears. "Alpha, I don't know!" she cried out, her voice trembling violently. "I was inside when I sud
