Chapter: Chapter 105"I've got the originating node," Marcus said, his voice dropping into a razor-sharp wire. "It didn't come from the pantry or the lower barracks."Rowan’s large hand tightened on the back of my neck, his rain-and-ash musk turning instantly lethal. "Where is it, Marcus?""The secondary command console," Marcus whispered, looking up with wide, bloodless eyes. "Inside the main security office."I felt the air leave my lungs. "That’s... that’s Captain Vance’s personal workstation.""Vance," Rowan rasped, his deep voice carrying an unholy vibration that rattled the glass fixtures. "The bastard didn't join the rogue coalition in the ravine. He stayed inside my house.""He’s still at his desk," Marcus confirmed, pulling up the live internal feed. "He thinks the data burst cleared without a trace.""Move," Rowan commanded, his silver irises flashing with an unhinged, murderous fire as he drew his sidearm.We stormed down the marble corridor, our boots echoing like

Chapter: Chapter 104"Pack your things," Rowan commanded, his voice a low, terrifying growl that rattled the glass displays. "You're moving to the subterranean vault right fucking now.""No," I snapped, stepping back from his reach. "I am not hiding in a cellar, Rowan.""It wasn't a request, Veda!" he roared, slamming his heavy fist against the iron console. The display cracked under his knuckles. "Did you read the damn screen? They are targeting our child!""And moving me into a dark hole tells them they've rattled us!" I shouted back, my hazel eyes flashing with a fierce, stubborn iron. "If I go into hiding, we lose the upper hand!""I don't give a fuck about the upper hand!" Rowan bellowed, closing the gap between us in a single, terrifying stride. He grabbed my arms, his fingers trembling against my skin with a desperate, wild intensity. "I care about your breathing! I care about keeping you alive!""Rowan, listen to yourself!" I pressed, placing my hands flat against his heated

Chapter: Chapter 103The glowing red line across the screen burned into my eyes.I couldn't look away from the single crossed-out name. Rowan leaned over my shoulder, his massive body freezing into a wall of pure iron."Who the fuck is that?" Marcus demanded, his voice a tight, harsh wire."Captain Renee," I whispered.The name hit the small room like a dead weight.Rowan’s rain-and-ash scent turned instantly toxic, filling the cramped quarters with a heavy, suffocating cloud of rage. "Renee was crossed out.""Because he refused to join them," I realized, my heart hammering against my ribs. "He caught Davies in Sector Four. That’s why Davies had to run.""Or Renee is playing us," Marcus spat, his hands shaking as he adjusted his tactical belt. "Fuck, Boss! We can't trust anyone in this damn house!""Get Renee in the command room," Rowan growled low, his deep voice carrying a lethal, terrifying edge. "Quietly. If he breathes wrong, put a bullet in his head.""On it," Marcus snapped, turning sharply on his

Chapter: Chapter 102The cold metal door of Officer Davies’s quarters slid open with a sharp, heavy hiss.I stepped into the room right beside Rowan, my hand firmly tucked into his elbow. He had tried to order me to stay behind three separate times in the hallway, his rain-and-ash musk swirling in a suffocating, possessive storm. I had ignored him every single time."You shouldn't be down here, Veda," Rowan growled low, his slate-grey eyes scanning the dim room. His hand rested flat on his holstered blade, his entire frame coiled tight as a wire. "The air down here is fucking stale. It’s not good for you.""I have two legs and a working brain, Alpha," I replied sharply, matching his heavy stride. "I'm not sitting in the bedroom like an invalid while a traitor sells us out.""She’s got a point, Boss," Marcus muttered from the doorway, holding a flash scanner. "Besides, her eyes pick up details my scouts miss.""Shut up, Marcus," Rowan spat under his breath, though his arm tightened instinctively around my

Chapter: Chapter 101I woke slowly, my skin warm and heavy under the duvet. Rowan’s massive arm was draped over my waist like an iron bar, his broad, calloused palm resting flattened directly over my lower belly. His dark, cedar-and-bourbon musk wrapped around my senses, completely untamed, carrying a quiet, possessive heat that made my inner wolf let out a helpless, liquid sigh.For the first time in my life, the future didn't feel like a bloody execution ledger. It felt like something I actually wanted."I know you're awake, little wolf," Rowan rumbled softly against the back of my neck, his gravelly morning voice sending a delicious, electric jolt straight down my spine. His thumb traced a slow, agonizingly tender circle over my stomach. "Your heart rate picked up the second the sun hit the terrace.""I was enjoying the silence, Alpha," I murmured, turning in his arms to look up into the rugged topography of his face. I reached up, my fingers tangling in his dark, messy hair. "Before Marcus comes knoc

Chapter: Chapter 100The pale winter sun dragged itself across the library floorboards, but the warmth never reached my skin.Every single hour of the day felt like a countdown toward an execution. I spent the entire afternoon staring at the encrypted asset registries, my fingers hovering uselessly over the glass interface while Marcus and the secondary vanguards ran defensive sweeps through the western sectors. The secret beneath my heart felt heavier than the titanium reinforcement plates locking out the world. Twice, Marcus had walked into the room to deliver resource manifests, and twice I had forced my scent into a flat, clinical wire to hide the golden, molten sun density blooming in my vanilla frequency."The northern ravine is sealed, Luna," Marcus said, stepping into the room as the dusk began to bleed a bruised, deep crimson across the terrace glass. His beta scent was laced with a sharp, high-stakes panic. "But the southern maritime lines are blinking. The rogue coalition is pool

Moon Goddess, I Choose a New Fate
"An alliance isn't enough," I breathed slowly as I stepped directly into his path, forcing him to look at me fully.
Hassan raised a thick eyebrow, his gaze dropping to my palms, then rising back to my silver eyes. "Then we have nothing left to discuss."
"We do," I said, my voice dropping into a deadly, unyielding register that vibrated with absolute certainty.
The slow-burn fire of revenge ignited in my soul, obliterating every ounce of fear I had left.
Instead of letting him leave, I looked straight into the eyes of the monster.
"Then marry me."
~
I died as the Luna who gave everything to the wrong Alpha.
I loved my husband with everything I had. I believed he loved me too. Together, we united our packs, strengthened his claim as the most powerful Alpha, and built the future I thought we both wanted.
The night I died, I learned the truth.
His former fated mate revealed that I had only been a pawn—a temporary Luna whose only purpose was to hand over my pack. Once I had outlived my usefulness, she murdered me without mercy.
But the Moon Goddess gave me another chance.
I woke up days before our wedding, carrying every memory of my past life.
This time, I refuse to marry the Alpha who led me to my death. I refuse to let history repeat itself. My fate is no longer his to decide.
To protect my pack, I enter a contract marriage with the most feared Alpha in the werewolf world—Hassan Blackthorn.
I thought my second life was about escaping my tragic ending.
Instead, it leads me to a powerful Alpha I never expected... and a truth that could change everything I thought I knew about fate, love, and the price of becoming Luna.

Chapter: Chapter 20 A Different Kind of AlphaKATNISSTrust wasn’t built in a single moment. It was built in all the little moments when someone chose not to hurt you.I sat on the wide stone balcony overlooking the misty pine forests of the Blackthorn estate, clutching a steaming mug of black coffee between my cold hands. The morning air was sharp and bitter, but it was nothing compared to the chaotic storm raging in my head.Damien would have used me by now, I thought bitterly, staring out at the rising sun filtering through the towering trees.In my previous life, Damien loved to play the role of the devoted, protective lover, but every single action he took was a calculated maneuver to strip me of my agency. He dictated what I wore, who I spoke to, and how I represented my pack. He treated my authority like a temporary inconvenience he’d absorb the second we swore our vows.Hassan was the exact opposite.The man was a terrifying, blood-soaked warlord who could drop an entire room of Alpha e

Chapter: Chapter 19 Dangerous FeelingsHASSANMy teeth were centimeters away from the soft skin of her neck.The sweet, intoxicating scent of her vanilla and wild berries was a violent poison in my veins. My inner wolf roared, thrashing against my ribs with a feral, terrifying demand.“Hassan?” Katniss whispered, her voice trembling slightly. Her silver-gray eyes locked onto mine, wide with a sudden, breathless confusion. She didn't pull away, but the sheer vulnerability in her posture was a cold bucket of water dumped straight onto my burning soul.Control, you fucking animal, I scolded myself fiercely, forcing my muscles to lock up.I clamped my jaw shut, my fangs scraping against the inside of my lip until I tasted the sharp metallic tang of my own blood. With a brutal exertion of sheer willpower, I dragged myself backward, breaking the suffocating contact.“You should go to your room,” I rumbled, my baritone unnaturally low, raspy, and completely stripped of composure.Katniss blinked

Chapter: Chapter 18 The Kiss That Meant NothingHASSANThe Maybach pulled up to the estate’s illuminated portico, but I didn't move.Katniss was still sound asleep against my chest, her soft, warm breath fanning against the skin of my collarbone. For two solid hours, I hadn't shifted a muscle. Every instinct I possessed screamed at me to protect her sleep, to keep the brutal realities of the world away from her for just a few more minutes."Alpha," Beta Kael whispered, opening the heavy car door with careful slowness, his amber eyes darting to the sleeping woman in my arms. "We have a problem.""Quiet," I rumbled in a deadly, low whisper, carefully slipping my arms beneath Katniss's knees and back. I lifted her effortlessly out of the leather interior, cradling her against my chest as I stepped into the cool night air. "What problem?""A delegation from the High Council arrived fifteen minutes ago," Kael murmured, walking briskly beside me as I carried her through the private side entrance. "Elders Vance and Marrok.

Chapter: Chapter 17 My AlphaHASSANThe smoke had barely cleared from the marble floor before my instincts took total control.I stood in the center of the ruined ballroom, my massive frame shielding Katniss completely behind me. The shattered crystal and silver fragments of the chandelier lay scattered across the polished floor, reflecting the harsh light of the hall. The nobles were still screaming, scrambling toward the exits like terrified sheep, but I didn't care about the panic.I cared about the coward who dared to throw a blade into my shadow."Hassan," Katniss whispered behind me, her small hand reaching out to touch the heavy fabric of my jacket. Her voice trembled slightly, though she fought fiercely to hide it. "Hassan, look at me."I didn't turn around. My eyes were glowing a bright, predatory gold, my inner wolf snarling behind my ribs, demanding blood."Stay behind me, Katniss," I growled, my deep baritone carrying a lethal, suffocating power that instantly silenced the trembling nobles nearby.Ac

Chapter: Chapter 16 One Dance Too CloseKATNISS"I don't dance," I muttered under my breath, my hand tightening on Hassan’s sleeve as we stood near the edge of the polished marble floor.The grand ballroom of the Northern Ridge Summit was suffocatingly bright.Crystal chandeliers hung low, casting a sharp, golden glow over the crowded floor. Music swelled from the orchestra, a slow, elegant waltz that pulsed through the room like a heavy heartbeat.Hassan down at me, his dark gray eyes unreadable, though a faint, wicked tilt touched the corner of his jaw. "You signed a contract to be my Luna, Katniss. You think Lunas just stand in the corner looking lethal?""I'd prefer that, yes," I shot back, my silver eyes flashing. "Preferably with a knife.""Too bad," he rumbled softly.Before I could protest, his large, warm hand slipped around my waist, pulling me firmly against him. My breath hitched instantly. The sudden, overwhelming heat radiating from his massive frame hit me like a physical wall, sending a chaotic tremor stra

Chapter: Chapter 15 The Alpha They Never KnewHASSANI have spent my entire life being the monster under the bed so my people could sleep in peace.The towering crystal chandeliers of the Summit Hall cast long, sharp shadows across the marble floor. Around us, dozens of high-ranking Alphas and territorial leaders stood in clustered circles, sipping blood-red wine and whispering behind gold-embossed masks. To them, I was Hassan Blackthorn: the cold-blooded Shadow King, the ruthless warlord who swallowed eastern territories whole.They thought I accepted Katniss Ashbourne's contract out of sheer, opportunistic greed. They thought I saw a fractured heiress with a silent wolf and decided to steal her father's land before Damien Ravenscar could claim it.They didn't know a damn thing."Alpha Hassan," Beta Kael muttered, stepping up to my right side, his amber eyes scanning the perimeter with a lethal, hyper-vigilant focus. "Ravenscar just entered through the south foyer with the Nightvale girl. He’s already making eyes at the Counci
