Chapter: Epilogue – HomeZephyra THREE YEARS LATER>>> I wake slowly, the way you do when there’s absolutely no reason to rush. The morning is calm, happy, and peaceful. Sunlight filters through the curtains, casting a warm golden glow over Theron, who is still sound asleep beside me. Usually he’s up early handling alpha duties, but he took some time off because I asked him to. Which I probably shouldn’t have. My legs are deliciously sore from last night. I bite my lip, replaying every moment, the sweet passion, the way he took every part of my body, and how I begged him never to stop. I always do that, no matter how sore I get. It’s inevitable when you have a mate like Theron. Blushing at the memory, I let my fingers gently trace the dark marks on his back from the poison. While I hate how he got it, I love how it looks on his skin. I press a kiss to his shoulder and quietly slip out of bed to get ready for the day. While he enjoys his well deserved break, I have a quick visit to make to the pack’s n

Chapter: Chapter 194- Judgment“You forced our people underground, turning our heritage into nothing but lie,” Chaol snarls at Zhodin.He turns to me and bows his head. “My Queen… pass judgment.”Zhodin lets out a loud, hacking laugh and spits blood at my feet. Even chained and beaten, he is still trying to control the atmosphere.He looks at me with those ancient crimson eyes, speaking as if we are old friends. “We are alike, you and I. They will never truly accept you. They only love you because you saved them from their pathetic cages. Eventually, they’ll fear you just like they fear me. Your little boy toy cannot protect you forever. You belong beside me.”He gestures toward the Crimson-born with his one good hand. “They are here today because of me. Without me, there would never have been a Queen.”My blood boils at how he offers not a single word of apology. He genuinely believes his slaughter was necessary.I stay completely silent, letting his words hang in the freezing air. But I don't look at him.Instead

Chapter: Chapter 193 – VictoryZephyraMorning comes again. Though my heart still feels heavy, the sun shining overhead makes today feel like it could be a good one.I haven't slept a single wink. I spent the entire week pacing the palace ramparts, giving orders as the newly crowned queen in Theron's absence.The war is over. It took less than a single night to undo centuries of Stoneheart tyranny. Theron didn't just defend our borders; he and Chaol marched their combined forces straight into the mouth of the beast.Stoneheart’s strongholds are burned to the ground. Many warriors fell on both sides, but Eboncrest and my people fought together as one army for the first time.News reached me yesterday that Eryc died at the hands of my stepmother, Mirella Elinton. She took advantage of the chaos during the fight to avenge Naya’s death. The remaining Stoneheart wolves either surrendered or scattered into the hills like ghosts. Once the experimented wolves were killed, they no longer had the upper hand.The war is fina

Chapter: Chapter 192- Take Back PeaceChaol places his hand over his heart. "My father used to be one of the keepers who watched over you when you were a pup, right up until Zhodin took you away. Most of the families you see here,” He gestures to the people behind him, “stopped believing we would ever find you. But our scouts returned from the borders months ago, swearing they saw you. We’ve been searching ever since we learned Eryc of Stoneheart had you.” “You know me?” I ask. “We all do, Queen of the Crimson Moon. We know Zephyra.” “I am no queen.” I look out at the sea of faces. “I cannot save you.” “We do not ask you to save us. We only ask that you let us serve you.” ‘They do not obey Alphas. Only their queen,’ Theron’s voice echoes gently in my mind. I turn to look at him. ‘And where would they stay?’ ‘Here.’ Theron raises an eyebrow. ‘You would really do that for my sake?’ He smiles faintly. ‘Because it is the right thing to do. They don’t deserve to be kept away from their queen, and they deserve better

Chapter: Chapter 191 – HomeZephyraMy eyes find Theron’s again. As he walks closer, the same smile is still on his lips, and he links me, his voice soft in my head. ‘I scared you, didn’t I?’I'm not even sure what Khaisha mutters next to me before I take a step forward. Then, I run.I almost stumble on the floor, but I keep going, my heart pounding so hard it hurts. Theron opens his arms wide right before I reach him, and I crash with his chest.He catches me like I weigh nothing, wrapping his arms around me so tightly I can hardly breathe. I bury my face against him, breathing in his scent, which is now mixed with sweat and his blood.I knew it. I knew he was in danger and that he was hurt. But now he is right here, and that is the only thing that matters to me.Neither of us speaks. His hand goes to the back of my head, bunching his fingers into my hair as he presses soft kisses to my temple, then right onto the top of my head.“I’m home,” he whispers.I pull back just enough to look up at him. My hands fly t

Chapter: Chapter 190- What Happened?Instead of turning back, my right foot lifts. I take one step forward, then another. No, this isn’t what I want. I want to go back to Khaisha’s quarters, back to anywhere people can see me, but my legs keep moving in the wrong direction.I don’t understand why. I’m not the one making the decision. My body simply obeys. Without realizing it, I walk past the patrol routes, beyond the trees and the muddy bank, my body guiding me straight toward the river.The water reaches my ankles, then my knees, then my waist. The current grows stronger and my dress turns freezing cold against my skin. Still, I keep walking deeper into it.The voice returns, echoing inside my skull. “Come to me.”Scar is screaming at me, desperately trying to seize control and pull me backward, but nothing works. My eyes are wide open, but completely blank, like I’m sleepwalking.The water reaches my chest, and then my shoulders. I want to swim back. I know I have to, but all I want to do is obey that voice and listen

No Longer Yours, Alpha
“You’ve already lost our babies twice, Daphne. What exactly do you expect from me?”
Those were the words that destroyed Daphne Auburn completely.
As a human living among wolves, Daphne always knew why Alpha Storm Larsen brought her into Blood Shadow Pack—to be a breeder chosen to carry his heir. But somewhere between his touches, his kisses, and the nights he held her like she mattered, Daphne made the mistake of falling in love with him.
After two devastating miscarriages, Storm brings home his pregnant ex girlfriend, Katerina, and publicly shatters what’s left of Daphne’s world.
In a single night, Daphne loses her place in his bed, his home, and his heart. Humiliated before the entire pack and blamed for a crime she didn’t commit, she finally realizes the painful truth: She was never Storm’s lover. Only the human he kept around until something better came back.
So Daphne decides to leave the wolves behind forever with a secret that could change the fate of the pack.
She’s pregnant again. With Storm’s twins.
Now the ruthless Alpha who discarded her is hunting her across the city, desperate to drag her back. But Daphne is no longer the broken girl who once begged for his love.
When Storm finally discovers the truth, will his regret be enough to heal the heart he destroyed… or has he already lost the only woman who could save him?

Chapter: Chapter 33Katerina had barely stepped away from the bookshelf when the rumble of an engine came through the window glass. Storm? He couldn’t be back already. The abandoned van was too far out near the border of wild howl, and not even Orion’s reckless driving could get them there and back this fast.Curious, Katerina crossed to the window and eased the curtain aside. A sleek black sedan rolled through the security gates. It wasn’t one of Storm’s usual vehicles. Four guards rushed toward the car before it even stopped, adjusting their suit jackets and speaking into their earpieces.Hearing movement downstairs, Katerina hurried out of the study, locked the door behind her, and hid the duplicate key in her pocket just as Morwen appeared at the far end of the corridor.Morwen gripped the wooden stair railing so hard her knuckles bleached white. Her face was tight with anger that seemed to be brewing each second.She stared down toward the foyer where the household staff was scrambling in a panic

Chapter: Chapter 32Katerina entered the date of Storm’s birthday first. The keypad flashed an angry red.INCORRECT CODE. FOUR ATTEMPTS REMAINING. She pressed her lips tightly together, getting irritated. Obviously, it wasn’t going to be that simple. Storm wasn’t the sentimental type. If this compartment held something important, he would have secured it with a code much harder to guess.She entered the date Demetrius officially became Alpha but the device flashed red again. Frustrated, she tried the official founding date of BioMind Labs. Another red flash. Damn it!Her mind raced through every significant date she could remember, the day Storm became Alpha, his father’s birthday, even the launch of major projects at the company. But what if those failed?Her finger hovered anxiously over the keypad before she punched in Demetrius Larsen’s birth date, but the red light appeared once more.INCORRECT CODE. ONE ATTEMPT REMAINING.“Come on,” she whispered. One more wrong entry and the entire system migh

Chapter: Chapter 31She ordered a close watchman to keep an eye on Daphne's movements that night since she couldn’t risk going herself for obvious reasons. While her man remained hidden in the shadows following Daphne, he recorded everything that transpired.Oh, how delighted Katerina had been, replaying the footage later, a smile curving her lips as watched Daphne struggle when they shoved her into the van.Yet, while she felt triumphant at the time, she also felt a knot in her stomach. If another player had the nerve to snatch the breeder from right under Blood Shadow’s nose, it meant she had to be careful. She spent too many years climbing her way toward the Luna position. She wasn’t about to let some unknown enemy ruin everything now, even if their goals happened to line up with hers.“What if Alpha Storm finds out who arranged it?” her contact asked.“Then he’ll be doing us a favor by removing a threat,” she hissed. “I won’t send my own people blindly after someone capable of pulling this off ins

Chapter: Chapter 30What was Daphne doing in Wild Howl?As soon as the study door slammed shut beside her, Katerina’s tears stopped like they had never existed.Orion was already walking down the hall, not sparing her a single glance, clearly eager to leave since Storm dismissed them both. Once the irritating beta was entirely out of sight, she cast a last look at Storm’s door, then continued on her way. Only when she reached the silver framed mirror decorating the wall near the staircase did she stop. She lifted a finger and carefully wiped away the last traces of moisture under her eye.“That was exhausting,” she murmured to her reflection, smoothing a small wrinkle from her dress sleeve.Servants greeted her as she passed. A few offered soft, sympathetic smiles, probably talking about the ‘poor future Luna’ and everything she had endured lately. Katerina nearly laughed out loud at them. Ridiculous.Entering her bedroom, she closed the door calmly. But that calmness shattered the instant she turned

Chapter: Chapter 29Rosalind opened the door only halfway, keeping her body angled like she was ready to slam it shut if things went sideways.From the space she left, Daphne could see a woman in a khaki green uniform standing on the porch, clutching a thick sealed envelope to her chest. Two pack officers waited behind her on the steps, both in the same official green and black that Daphne had learned meant serious Wild Howl business.What were pack welfare officers doing here?“Miss Veilla Auburn?” the woman in front called out politely.Rosalind glanced over her shoulder at her. Daphne forced herself up from the kitchen table and headed toward the door. “Yes?”The woman offered a smile. “Officer Agatha Miller from the Welfare Evaluation Office. I’m here about your residency assessment.”Rosalind stepped aside, letting Daphne come forward. “Is something wrong?”“No, quite the opposite, actually.” Officer Miller held out the envelope. “I’m here with the pack’s final decision on your residency applicatio

Chapter: Chapter 28The smell of something burning dragged Daphne out of sleep before the morning light even had a chance. She wrinkled her nose into the pillow. “…Rose?”From the kitchen, Rosalind was swearing under her breath, along with the frantic sound of her fanning the air. “Oh, come on! It wasn't even on that long!”Daphne couldn’t help smiling. She dragged herself up from the old mattress, rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and padded barefoot toward the tiny kitchen.Rosalind stood at the stove with one hand on her hip, waving at a piece of toast so black it looked charred beyond saving.She glanced over her shoulder. “Oh good. You’re awake.”Daphne eyed the smoking pan. “Should I call the fire department now, or give you another five minutes?”Rosalind gasped, all dramatic. “Excuse me? This is artisan toast.”“It looks cremated.”“It’s seasoned.”“It has ashes, Rose.”Rosalind looked down at the sorry thing, letting out a loud sigh. “Fine.” She tossed it into the bin. “I just got distracted.”Dap
