Secrets Beneath the Moon
Aria Vale thought she could escape. Hidden in a quiet human town, she carries the one secret that could shatter the balance of every pack, the unborn heir of Alpha Kael Donovan.
Kael was more than a man. He was the Donovan Alpha, ruthless, unyielding, feared by all who stood against him. To love him was dangerous. To bear his child in secret was treason. But when the bond burned too hot, when his mark lingered on her skin and his voice haunted her dreams, Aria ran. Not because she didn’t love him, but because she feared surrendering her life, her freedom, her heart, to the Alpha who could break her.
But Kael Donovan does not lose what is his. To him, her disappearance is betrayal. To the pack, it is unthinkable. To rivals, it is a chance to strike. For Aria, it is survival, until his shadow finds her again.
Secrets Beneath the Moon is a story of hidden love and dangerous choices, of a wolf torn between freedom and destiny, and an Alpha who will stop at nothing to claim both the woman and the heir she carries beneath the moonlight.

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Five - Ashes Don't Stay Buried ( Aria's POV )The world didn’t breathe when the Circle went dark.For a heartbeat, maybe longer, everything was still. The last flickers of power sank into the stones, like fire retreating beneath cold ash. Only the echo of my scream remained, carved into the night air.Kael didn’t let go. His grip on me was steady, rough in a way that made it real. The ground was cold against my knees, the scent of burnt magic thick enough to choke.Lyra crouched near the edge of the Circle, her palms pressed flat to the earth. Her runes had dimmed, but her eyes hadn’t. They were sharp, cutting through the dark.“It’s over,” she said.But her voice didn’t sound like victory.Kael’s hand slid to the back of my neck, warm and grounding. “Can you stand?”I nodded, though it wasn’t entirely true. My body felt like glass held together by a whisper. When I tried to rise, the world tilted. Kael caught me easily, his arm a wall around my waist.“Easy,” he muttered. “You’re safe.”The words should have felt like relief.Th

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Four - Blood and Bone ( Aria's POV ) The forest didn’t sing when we returned.Even after we left the Shadow Keep far behind, silence clung to us like a second skin. The pack moved as one, alert, restless, half expecting Ronan’s shadow to rise from the trees and strike again. But nothing came. Not a whisper. Not a tremor.Kael led the way, one hand never straying far from his blade. His steps were steady, but I could feel the tension in the way his shoulders locked with every sound. Lyra trailed behind, hood pulled low, the faint light of her runes nothing more than a pale ghost against the fading dusk.And me...I walked between them, feeling both lighter and more hollow than I’d ever felt in my life. The Veilstone had stripped Ronan’s bond from me. I could breathe without the weight of him pressing down on my ribs, could hear my heartbeat without the echo of his.But something else had been taken too.The bond that had been woven between me and the child was weaker now. Not gone, but thin. Like a fraying thread stretche

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Three - Through the Veil (Aria's POV )The forest was still damp when dawn broke, a thin veil of mist clinging stubbornly to the trees. The storm had passed, but the air hadn’t lost its weight. Every breath felt thick with what had happened the night before, the echo of Ronan’s power, the shadow’s hollow laughter still vibrating somewhere deep in my bones.Kael was already up before the light touched the riverbank, moving with the restless precision of someone who hadn’t slept. He’d checked the perimeter twice, cleaned his blade, and given quiet orders to the others. The pack didn’t question him. None of us had the luxury of doubt anymore.Lyra crouched near the dying embers of the fire, murmuring incantations under her breath as she traced runes in the mud. Her face was pale, hair damp with sweat. Whatever she’d burned through last night to fight the shadow had left her drained, but she didn’t complain.I sat wrapped in Kael’s cloak, fingers resting lightly against my stomach. The child was quiet. Too quiet. That stillnes

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Two - The Echo Left Behind ( Aria's POV ) The storm broke at dawn.Rain fell in a steady whisper over the ruins, washing blood and ash into the cracks of the temple floor. Smoke still curled from the shattered stones where Ronan’s power had touched the earth, leaving black veins that pulsed faintly before fading into silence.Kael stood at the temple’s edge, shirt torn, shoulders slick with rain. The glow of the fight was gone from his eyes, replaced by something quieter, fear wrapped in fury.Lyra moved carefully around the altar, tracing her fingers along the cracks. Her runes no longer glowed, whatever power had answered her before was spent. “He’s not gone,” she said finally. “He’s tethered, pulled back, but not destroyed.”Kael’s jaw tightened. “Then we find him and finish it.”She glanced up sharply. “You can’t fight something that exists between worlds. What happened here burned through every protection I had left. If she hadn’t sealed the bond when she did...”Her voice broke off. Both of them turned when I stirred.T

Chapter: Chapter Thirty One The Gathering Storm ( Aria's POV )The fog refused to lift.It lay thick across the forest floor, wrapping around trunks and stones like something alive. Every sound was muted , the drip of water, the scrape of boots, the distant groan of shifting trees. Kael’s pack moved cautiously now, wounded and weary, the scent of burnt air still lingering from the fight with the Wraiths.Kael hadn’t spoken since we’d regrouped. He walked ahead, blood drying dark against his shirt, eyes fixed on some invisible point in the distance. I could feel the rage in him like heat rolling off a fire , silent, controlled, dangerous.Lyra moved beside me, her face pale but focused. The runes etched into her arms still glowed faintly, the residue of the spell she’d used to hold back the last of the Wraiths. Her voice was low when she finally spoke.“He knows where you are now,” she said.I didn’t ask who. We both knew she meant Ronan.Kael’s ears twitched at the words. He didn’t turn, but his voice came sharp and cold. “Then we make sure he do

Chapter: Chapter Thirty - The Weight of Dawn ( Aria's POV )The first light of morning was colorless, a dull gray that seeped through the trees like ash. The forest had gone still, unnaturally so. Not even the birds stirred. Every sound we made, the crunch of boots, the soft rustle of cloaks, felt like a violation of something sacred and dangerous.Kael led the way. His steps were steady, silent, his blade strapped across his back. But I could feel the storm inside him. The revelation from Lyra, the whisper that Jaxon, his most trusted Beta, might be the traitor, had changed something in him. His movements were sharper, his words fewer. He was the Alpha now, entirely, and the man I loved was hidden somewhere behind the steel in his eyes.Lyra walked a few paces behind me, hood drawn low. Her presence was quiet, almost ghostlike, but I could feel her gaze flicking around constantly, scanning the forest with some unseen sense. She’d said she could feel the threads of blood magic that bound the land, that Ronan used them to track me. The thought
