Chapter: Chapter 114The white sterile light of the emergency medical wing cut through the dim room, casting long shadows across the polished floorboards.The steady, rhythmic beep of the heart monitor was the only sound keeping the heavy silence at bay.I sat in the metal chair pulled flush against the side of the raised bed. My fingers were locked around Rowan’s massive, cold hand, refusing to let go for even a single second. His shirt had been cut away, revealing thick white bandages wrapped tightly across his chest and shattered shoulder, where blood still seeped through the gauze."Luna, you need to sit down and let the doctors check your vitals," Marcus said softly from the doorway, his voice low and weary. His tactical armor was splattered with mud and dried blood, but his posture had finally relaxed."I'm fine, Marcus," I replied without looking up from Rowan's pale, stillness face. "My vitals are stable.""You've been sitting in that chair for four hours," Marcus pressed gen

Chapter: Chapter 113“Rowan!”My scream cut through the dying storm as Malakor lunged with his remaining strength, his hidden silver blade whistling toward Rowan’s exposed ribs.I didn't think. I didn't hesitate.I hurled my entire body forward, slamming my weight into Rowan's good side to shove him out of the blade's path. The sharp tip grazed the thick leather of my coat, missing my flesh by millimeters."Veda, no!" Rowan roared, his voice a terrifying, desperate sound as his large hand caught my waist mid-air, yanking me violently behind his back."I'm not letting him touch you!" I shouted, scrambling for purchase on the wet stone beside him."Stay behind me!" Rowan commanded, his silver irises blazing with an unhinged, frantic terror that surpassed all physical pain. "Don't you ever step between me and a blade again!""We fight together!" I snapped back, my hazel eyes flashing as I grabbed a heavy iron sconce from the balustrade wall.Malakor scrambled to his feet, hi

Chapter: Chapter 112“Because you made one mistake.”My voice carried straight through the howling wind, striking the quieted courtyard with the weight of absolute finality.Malakor spat a mouthful of dark blood onto the slick cobblestones, his trembling hands pressed against the gaping wounds in his chest. His rogue Enforcers stood completely frozen around him, their weapons lying abandoned in the mud, their faces hollowed by the sudden realization of his deceit."What mistake?" Malakor rasped, his dark eyes burning with an unhinged, poison-laced fever as he stared up at me on the terrace steps. "I calculated every variable. I bought your guards. I unspooled your border lines.""You calculated Rowan's rage, but you forgot his humanity," I said, my hand tightening around Rowan’s blood-soaked fingers as he stood tall beside me. "You built an entire strategy around the idea that his love for me was a flaw. You thought my presence would make him weak, reckless, and easy to corner.""It

Chapter: Chapter 111Camilla’s body crumpled onto the stone steps before her voice even faded.The gunshot echoed off the granite walls of the estate like a thunderclap, leaving a deafening, heavy silence in its wake. Malakor casually holstered his sidearm, stepping over her form without a single glance, his dark eyes fixed entirely on the upper landing."Veda, get back!" Rowan roared beside me, his hand tightening around my wrist like an iron clamp as he tried to drag me behind his massive frame."No, Rowan, let me go!" I insisted, twisting my wrist to loosen his grip. "Look at him! Look at his men!""Veda, he's a madman with an army!" Marcus yelled, his rifle pointed directly at Malakor’s chest. "We need to clear this terrace!""He's not a madman," I said, my voice cutting through the panic like an icy wire as I stepped up to the edge of the stone balustrade. "He's a coward who feeds on fear."Malakor let out a harsh, barking laugh, wiping rain from his scarred jaw as his rogue

Chapter: Chapter 110Veda’s POV “Julian…”The name escaped my throat as a breathless thread, completely drowned out by the metallic ring of clashing steel.I watched from the terrace alcove as Julian parried a rogue’s blade, his movements precise and lethal. He drove the attacker back down the wet stone steps, his twin swords raining down relentless punishment in the downpour."Veda, stay behind the pillar!" Marcus barked, firing a rapid burst down the flank to cover Julian’s right side."He's taking too much fire!" I shouted back, my hands flying over the glass terminal to route automated turret cover toward the lower landing.Julian spun through the rain, cutting down a second assailant before stepping back onto the upper landing. Blood—both his and the enemy's—splattered across his silver tactical vest.He didn't look back at Rowan. He didn't look at Marcus. His gray eyes met mine through the curtain of rain."I'm not asking for your forgiveness, Veda," Julian said, h

Chapter: Chapter 109She’s not leaving me. The thought anchored my fading pulse as thunder rattled the stone terrace beneath my boots. Rain washed warm, iron-thick blood from my torn shoulder down my left arm, pooling on the cracked floorboards. Malakor laughed from the base of the terrace steps, his voice echoing over the roar of the downpour. "Look at you, cousin! The legendary Supreme Warlord, bleeding out on his own porch for a female who won't even run when she's told!" "Shut your filthy mouth, Malakor," I rasped, forcing my trembling legs to lock into iron. "Your obsession was always going to be your downfall, Rowan!" Malakor sneered, raising his hand to signal his assault squad. "You made her your heart, and now I'm going to rip it right out of your chest in front of your broken men!" A rough hand clamped firmly beneath my uninjured arm, bracing my weight before my knees could buckle. Marcus stood flush against my right flank, his breath coming in

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 30 My HusbandKATNISSI had once died as an Alpha’s wife. Today, I became one again.The grand reception hall was a loud, glittering sea of obsidian banners, silver lanterns, and hundreds of celebrating guests. Music thrummed off the stone walls as the united packs drank, toasted, and cheered.In my previous life, my wedding reception had felt like a suffocating parade where I was the main exhibit. Damien had paraded me around like a prize pony, ensuring everyone knew I was his subordinate.Now, standing at the center of the upper gallery, I looked down at the exact same high-society faces."You're drifting, Kat," Elara said softly, stepping beside me with two glasses of sparkling wine. "And your jaw is clenched so tight you're going to crack a tooth.""I'm fine," I replied, taking a glass and letting the cold liquid cool my burning throat. "Just... processing.""You're allowed to breathe, you know," Elara teased, nudging my shoulder gently. "You actually pul

Chapter: CHAPTER 29 Vows We Never PlannedHASSANI had signed a contract with Katniss Ashbourne. I had never expected to stand before her wanting to give her everything the contract could never demand.The central hall of the Blackthorn fortress was bathed in the warm amber glow of flickering torches and silver chandeliers. Banners of dark obsidian and silver crests hung from the stone pillars, framing the crowded room.Members of both packs sat in the carved wooden pews, Ashbourne nobles on the left, my Blackthorn warriors on the right."Everything is locked down, Alpha," Beta Kael muttered, leaning into my shoulder as we stood near the raised marble altar. "Perimeter sweeps are clear. If anyone twitches the wrong way during the vows, my enforcers will put them down quietly.""Keep it discreet, Kael," I rumbled softly, adjusting my dark ceremonial cuffs. "I don't want a single blade drawn in front of her."Gareth stood nearby, quietly reviewing the legal registry documents with the High Council prie

Chapter: CHAPTER 28 The Choice I Wasn’t ExpectingHASSANI had prepared myself to lose Katniss. I hadn’t prepared myself for her to choose me.The sun had barely crept over the frost-covered peaks of the Northern Ridge when I walked down the deserted stone corridor leading to the private conservatory. The estate was dead quiet, save for the faint hum of security drones sweeping the outer courtyard.I was fully dressed in my dark ceremonial dress suit, the silver obsidian crest of the Blackthorn pack pinned tightly over my heart. Every muscle in my broad frame was locked like iron, my stomach churning with a cold, suffocating dread.I pushed open the frosted glass doors.Katniss was standing near the center fountain, framed by blooming winter orchids. She wore her completed wedding gown, a breathtaking masterpiece of structured black silk and silver-tech embroidery that hugged her form with lethal elegance. Her dark hair was swept up, leaving the delicate, bare line of her neck exposed.My breath co

Chapter: CHAPTER 27 If She Says NoHASSANI could command an army without hesitation, but one woman’s answer had become the only thing I couldn’t control.The grand armory in the subterranean wing of the estate was silent, save for the rhythmic metallic scrape of my sharpening stone against a silver-steel blade. The scent of gun oil, polished leather, and cold stone surrounded me, but my mind was miles away, locked on the third floor where Katniss was currently preparing for our wedding."Boss, you're going to grind that dagger into dust if you press any harder," Kael said, leaning his broad frame against an weapons rack with a smirk."The edge is uneven," I rumbled, not breaking my rhythm, my dark gray eyes fixed entirely on the gleaming metal."The edge is sharp enough to split a hair in midair," Gareth chimed in, walking down the stone steps while reviewing a stack of ceremony logistics on his tablet. "You've been down here for three hours, Alpha. The tailors are waiting upstairs to perfor

Chapter: CHAPTER 26 The Woman I Cannot TouchHASSANTomorrow, Katniss would become my wife, and I had never wanted anything more—or feared wanting something more.The strategic command office was quiet, save for the hum of the monitors displaying security feeds around the estate perimeter. I stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass window, holding a crystal glass of bourbon I hadn't touched in twenty minutes.Outside, snow dusted the dark pine needles, casting a pale glow over the courtyard where Katniss had walked earlier.My fated mate.The words burned in my chest like a brand. I had known the truth from the exact second she stepped into my study with a handwritten contract and fire in her eyes. My inner beast had roared in recognition, recognizing her soul instantly. Yet, every single day since then, I had forced myself to play the role of a cold, pragmatic warlord. I kept my hands to myself. I respected every boundary she drew around her heart.Because if I pushed her, if I tried to claim what

Chapter: CHAPTER 25 The Night Before the VowsKATNISSTomorrow, I would become Hassan Blackthorn’s wife. Somehow, that frightened me less than the thought of what I was beginning to feel.The private fitting salon was quiet, illuminated only by the warm amber glow of the marble fireplace. White silk, obsidian embellishments, and gold-trimmed invitations were stacked neatly on the vanity table. The formal ceremony was less than twelve hours away, and the entire territory was holding its breath."Hold still, Kat," Elara muttered, carefully pinning up the lace train of my rehearsal gown. "If you keep pacing like a caged beast, I'm going to stick you with one of these needles.""I can't sit still, Elara," I shot back, rubbing my temples as I stared at my reflection in the full-length mirror. "Everything is moving too damn fast. The Council press feeds, the border security deployments... it's a total circus.""It's a wedding," Elara corrected softly, stepping back to hand me a glass of iced water. "And
