Chapter: EpilogueFive Years Later Ronan’s POV: The orchards were full of fruit the branches were bending down because of the weight of the fruit. The air smelled like soil and freshly baked bread from the village down below. I was standing on the balcony watching a pup with black fur playing in the tall grass. He was making a pitched noise that made the guards at the gate laugh. He was a boy, very fast and when he changed back into a boy his eyes were a beautiful silver color. "He is trying to catch dragonflies, he has your stubbornness. " Lira said, coming to stand beside me. She looked very happy the purple stains on her hands were gone. She was wearing a gold ring that showed she was the Lunar Empress. "And he has your light," I added, kissing her temple. I put my arm around her. Pulled her close to me. The world was a place now. The Silver-Grip was a place where people could heal. It was the center of a new world where magic and people with wolf blood could live together in harmony. "L

Chapter: Chapter 41Ronan’s POVThe Great Hall of the Silver-Grip was silent. The air still suffocating to me as I go through my thoughts. I stood before the mirror in my room staring at a man I hardly recognized. The shiny light of the transformation had faded, leaving me in my skin but the scars looked different now.I looked at my hands. They were clean washed raw with cold water. I could still feel Kaels life slipping away from me.“The shadows were so loud " he had said.I closed my eyes. For a second I was back in the mountain pass feeling his heart stop beating against my blade. I had spent my life preparing to kill monsters. I had never prepared to kill the boy I used to race with in the orchards.I leaned my forehead against the glass of the mirror. I was the leader of the Silver Moon. I had won the Great War. So why did I feel empty?The door creaked open. I did not need to look to know it was Lira. Our connection. A steady golden-white thread vibrating in my chest. Told me everything. She was

Chapter: Chapter 40Lira’s POV The silence was the loudest thing about the Lunar Peaks. After the screaming of the Void and the clash of steel, the stillness of the mountain was almost physical. We didn't leave immediately. The wounded were too many, and the exhaustion was too deep. I sat on a flat stone overlooking the valley, my hands resting in my lap. They were no longer glowing, but a faint, pearlescent shimmer remained beneath my skin,a permanent reminder that I was no longer just Lira the servant. Ronan approached from behind, his footsteps heavy. He didn't say anything; he simply sat beside me and pulled my head onto his shoulder. "We lost a lot of good people," he said, his voice raw. He wasn't talking as an Alpha to his pack; he was talking as a man to his mate. "We did," I whispered, thinking of Kael, and the young guards, and the Hollowed who had faded into stardust to buy us time. "But they didn't die for a throne, Ronan. They died for the morning. Look." On the horizon, the first

Chapter: Chapter 39Lira’s POV The final confrontation isn't fought on the snow of the peaks, but in the shimmering, distorted reality of the Void. As the Solar Eclipse begins, the sky turns into a cloud of black and fire, signaling the end of the old world and the birth of the new. As our hands stayed locked, Ronan and I were pulled from the physical battlefield into a realm of endless mirrors and swirling violet mist. The Witch stood at the center of a dying star, her form flickering between a beautiful queen and a skeletal horror. Beside her, Dominic now a hollow shell of the Star-Iron and shadow snarled, his presence cold enough to crack the air. "You brought the sun to my doorstep," the Witch hissed, her voice echoing like a thousand dying screams. "But here, in the dark between worlds, the sun is just a memory." Dominic lunged, his movements jagged and unnatural. But Ronan, in his metallic platinum wolf form, met him mid-air. It wasn't a fight of teeth and claws; it was a collision of light

Chapter: Chapter 38Lira’s POV The base of the Lunar Peaks was not made of stone, but of calcified shadows. As our exhausted army marched into it , the crimson light from the summit turned the snow into the color of a fresh wound. Ronan stood at the front, his hand gripped so tightly around his sword that his knuckles were white. The death of Kael hung over him like a shroud, but there was no time for grief. The Witch stood upon the highest crag, her stag-skull mask replaced by a crown. She wasn't just a woman anymore; she was a flaw in our world. "The Key has arrived," her voice boomed, vibrating in our very marrow. "And she brings a graveyard with her." With a flick of her wrist, the ground erupted. Thousands of shadow-wraiths—the spirits of every Atoner ever sacrificed—rose from the earth. They weren't the "Hollowed" we had saved; these were twisted by centuries of hate. The battle was a slaughter. Silas and the Winter-Fang were being swallowed by the tide of shadows. Ronan fought like a god pos

Omega:Claimed by the Alpha
Hazel never wanted to be sold, or to be a slave. But fate has a cruel way of twisting her life. After her mother’s death, she returns to the pack her mother was exiled from years ago, hoping to finally meet her father, who her mother promised was still alive.
Instead, Hazel finds herself trapped as a lowly omega, with nothing but memories of her mother and her skill with herbs.
Everything changes one fateful night when she does the impossible, and catches the attention of Alpha Alaric.
Alaric, cold and commanding, has never fancied a woman… until Hazel. Suddenly, he craves her, wants to protect her, and can’t ignore the pull between them.
But enemies lurk in every shadow, ready to tear them apart.
Can an apothecary fix more than just the body…or will she shatter his world entirely?

Chapter: Chapter 51 : EpilogueThree months later Three months later, snow was gone. Bridge was fixed. New stone, no loose one. Hazel made them leave one loose stone on purpose, over riverbank, marking tunnel entrance, so no one forgot. Cellar was clean. Not because slaves cleaned it. Because Ella cleaned it. Every day, on knees, no gloves, scrubbing wall where Mara carved. Greta said Ella cried first week, threw brush second week, then went quiet third week and started asking about herbs. Now Ella knew feverfew from night thorn. Knew river root fresh from dry. Greta said she might be good healer one day, if she kept scrubbing. Hazel was in Luna room, but not on bed. On floor, by fire, sorting herbs. Belly bigger now — just a little, but enough dress didn't fit same. Silver dress hung in wardrobe, she wore simple green dress now, pockets full of seeds. She didn't know she was pregnant until Greta told her — "You smell different, Luna, and you eat honey by spoon now," — and Hazel stared at Greta and said "What

Chapter: Chapter 50Hazel woke to blinding sunlight through shutters, snow piled so high it covered half of window. Cold but clear. Wind stopped. Alaric was already awake, sitting on edge of bed, pulling on pants. Shirt still off, scar from poison tea still red on chest, but eyes clear. "Where you going?" Hazel mumbled, tangled in furs, Aurella still asleep in cot. "To bring Luna to hall," he said, looking back at her. "If you can walk." "I can walk," Hazel said, pushing furs off. Her knees still purple, but not bleeding. Hands wrapped, but better. Alaric watched her stand in bloody dress, bare feet, hair mess, mother's box still on table. "You are not wearing that dress to your coronation," he said. Hazel looked down at dress. "What else do I have?" she said. "One patched dress on dresser. That's it." Alaric opened wardrobe in Luna room. Wardrobe Hazel thought was empty. It wasn't. Inside it was a dress. Not white. Silver. Like moonlight, like his eyes. Fur trim, but not heavy. Simple. No jewe

Chapter: Chapter 49 Storm locked packhouse. Shutters banging. Snow piling against doors. Guards said no one in or out till morning, not even council. They slept in hall downstairs on furs, grumbling. Luna room was only warm room upstairs because fire never stopped. Lucia kept feeding it, testing every log like logs could be poisoned, which made Hazel laugh for first time in two days. Alaric didn't laugh. He didn't let Hazel go. He sat on bed, back against headboard. Hazel between his legs, her back to his chest, his arms around her, her blue feet tucked under his thighs to warm them. He had wrapped her hands with clean cloth after healer put salve on cuts from ice. Aurella was finally asleep in small cot they brought to Luna room. Dominic said "She's Luna pup now too, she stays near Luna," and no one argued. Fire crackled. Wind howled. Whole packhouse quiet except wind. Alaric's chin rested on Hazel's head. He smelled her hair. "You haven't slept in two days," he said low. "You haven't either,"

Chapter: Chapter 48Alaric collapsed again an hour after he woke. Hazel was in Luna room. He'd carried her up himself set her on bed, said "Don't move," then went to wash blood off face in basin. He fell mid-wash. Basin cracked. Water everywhere. Hazel caught him before head hit stone. "ALARIC!" Dominic kicked door, Greta ran. Greta checked pulse. Faster now, but uneven. Like heart skipping. "Poison is still inside," Greta said, hands shaking. "First cure wasn't enough. Dose was too big. We need more river root. Fresh. Not dried from your box. Fresh from riverbank where it grows under ice. That's what Mara used for toddler Alpha, fresh, not dry. Stronger." "I'll go," Hazel said, standing. Knees still bleeding but wrapped. "No," Alaric said from floor, eyes half-open, hand grabbing her ankle weak. "No, stay.” "You will die if I stay," Hazel said, crouching, touching his face. "I need twenty minutes." Alaric tried to grip tighter. Couldn't. Fingers slipped. "Dominic, watch him," Hazel said. "If

Chapter: Change 47Cellar was dark after guards left. No torch. They took torch because council said prisoners don't get light. Hazel sat against wall where her mother carved. Straw poking legs. Cold seeping up from stone into bones. Dress still bloody from Alaric's lip. Next cell, Ella cried. Not pretty crying. Sniffing, hiccuping. "Shut up," Hazel said quietly. Not mean. Just tired. Ella sniffed louder. "You, you pulled me. My nose" "Your nose was already ugly," Hazel said. She didn't even look over. That shut Ella up for minute. Hazel's fingers traced mother's carving again. MARA WAS HERE. I DID NOT DO IT. Under it, recipe carved small. She already knew recipe by heart feverfew, river root, honey. But under recipe, even smaller, almost worn away, more letters. Hazel brushed straw away, leaned close. No light, but fingers could read carving if eyes couldn't. M... TUNNEL... BEHIND LOOSE STONE... NORTH... Tunnel. Greta said Vincent built hidden ways. But mother found one first. Hazel felt

Chapter: Chapter 46Alaric didn't wake up for nine hours. Hazel didn't leave floor. They tried to move him to bed, Dominic and two guards but Hazel said no. She sat on cold floor, his head in lap, furs pulled from bed around them, Aurella curled against her back asleep again because she cried herself out. Greta kept checking pulse. Slow but there. Poison fighting antidote. Like twenty-two years ago. "He'll wake," Greta said. "Mara's cure works. It worked on him as pup. It works now. But he needs time." Hazel nodded. Didn't speak. Her mouth still tasted bitter almond and feverfew. Outside Luna room, hall was full. Whispers. Council arguing. Guards arguing. Maids crying. Then knock. Hard. Not Lucia knock. Hazel knew that knock. Council knock. Dominic opened door just crack. Gray-beard council man stood there with four guards. Not packhouse guards. Council guards. Old wolves who served Vincent. "Move," gray-beard said to Dominic. Dominic didn't move. "Alpha is unconscious. Luna is healing him. No

Chapter: Chapter NineteenEthan was coming up the stairs when he heard the water running in Ariana's bathroom, and it was 5 AM and the villa was still dark because Rose was sleeping and Victoria was not awake yet.He had woken up early because he could not sleep, and he had been sitting in his office looking at the garden camera, where there were new footprints again near the jasmine that Ariana kept watering.The water sound was strange because it was not warm water sound. Warm water in villa pipes made a soft hissing sound. This water made a hard splashing sound, like ice hitting a tub.He stopped outside her door without meaning to, and he remembered Leo's words from last week about heartbeat and thinking about a girl all the time."I am not stalking," he told himself. "I am just checking pipes. Pipes are company property."But he stood there longer than pipe checking needed, and the water kept running cold.Ariana was inside the bathroom sitting in the bathtub full of cold water and ice from the villa free

Chapter: Chapter EighteenAriana was sitting in the kitchen when Maya arrived with two lunchboxes in her hands, and she was wearing a bright yellow uniform that said ‘Delivery’ on the back, like she was really a food delivery girl.Victoria opened the door and frowned a little, because she did not know Maya, and Maya was holding the boxes like they were very heavy."Delivery for Miss Ariana," Maya said loudly, and she smiled at Victoria with a big innocent smile. “Village food cooked specially for her. She said she misses village food."Victoria's face softened immediately, because she liked anyone who cooked for Ariana. "Oh, you are from her village? Come in, dear. Ariana is in kitchen."Maya walked in and placed the two boxes on the table, and one box smelled like real stew and rice, and the other box had no smell at all, which was strange for a food box.Ariana looked up from her tea and saw Maya's eyes, and she understood right away."Thank you," she said, and she took both boxes. “Village cooking is the b

Chapter: Chapter SeventeenAriana was standing in the back row of the city design hall when Chloe walked onto the stage, and she was wearing a simple black cap and a mask so no one would recognize her as Designer A or as Ethan Knight's wife.The hall was full of bright lights and loud music, and there were twenty designers waiting backstage with their boards, and the judges were sitting in the front row with their pens ready. It was the first round of the City Fashion Cup, the same cup that Ariana had won two years ago under the name A before she disappeared and became Ghost's shadow.She had not come to compete. She had come to watch, because Maya had told her that someone had registered with a sketch that looked exactly like her old trash."Boss, it's your 2023 unfinished sketch, the one you threw away at Cole house because you said it was too soft," Maya had whispered on the phone that morning. "The one with jasmine sleeves and hidden pockets. Chloe submitted it."Ariana had said nothing, and then she had ta

The IT team was calling Ghost a miracle, and Leo was calling Ghost a ghost who did not want money, and Ethan was supposed to be working on the final bid price.But his eyes kept going to the small monitor on his desk that showed the villa garden camera, where Ariana was sitting on the floor with Rose, doing acupressure for the third time that morning."Why are you on the floor again?" he heard Victoria say through the camera speaker, and he heard Ariana's voice answer, rude and soft at the same time."Because your mother likes the floor, and the floor likes me."He turned the camera off and rubbed his face, because he had never check

"And?""Nothing," Leo said. "Her laptop was offline. No browsing, no streaming, no drama site. The router shows no device connected from her room at all during that time."Ethan frowned.

Under His Watchful Eyes
"I thought I was escaping a monster. I didn’t realize I was walking straight into his lair."
After ten years of living in the shadows of her obsessed ex-boyfriend, Elena Vance finally has a chance at a real life. The prestigious role at Vane Enterprises in Las Vegas isn't just a dream job.
Her new boss, Julian Vane, is everything the headlines say: cold, calculating, and breathtakingly beautiful. He’s also a ghost from her past,the untouchable "Senior King" from St. Jude’s Academy who shouldn't even know her name.
But as the "mask" Elena uses to protect herself begins to slip, the coincidences start. A box of childhood candy on her desk. A necklace she lost a decade ago returned to her hand. Anonymous gifts that feel less like gestures of affection and more like evidence of surveillance.
Elena is convinced her ex has found her, and when he finally corners her in the office, Julian is the only one there to save her.
By the time Elena moves into Julian’s private penthouse for her "protection," the truth begins to unravel. The room he’s prepared for her is a perfect, brick-by-brick replica of her childhood bedroom.
The security cameras aren't just for her safety,they’ve been tracking her every breath since she was thirteen years old.
Julian hasn't just cleared her path; he’s dictated every tragedy and lucky break she’s ever had. He has a ring on another woman’s finger and a father determined to see Elena destroyed, but Julian has no intention of ever letting her leave. He didn't just find her. He created her.
He’s not just watching her life. He’s owning it.

Chapter: Chapter Seventy: EpilogueOne year later. Friday again.We go back to the garden on the same date we got married. Thomas Vance Garden.It has thirty chairs now, not ten. The star-yellow banner is permanent. There are bowls of lemon drops everywhere. When we first built it, it was for my father. Now families sit there while their parents sit in the private wing, in those chairs by the windows, and watch. They watch weddings. Birthdays. Even bad afternoons. No one has to die alone anymore.Sarah meets us there. She isn't crying this time. She runs the garden charity now. She found a purpose after finding my dress in one day. She has a clipboard and she looks happy. Real happy.We sit in our two chairs. The same ones from the wedding.Julian wears the same suit. It still fits. I wear a black dress this time, not white.

Go get a real honeymoon!"We shout back, "It's a same-room honeymoon, Dad!"And he laughs. Not the tired laugh he had in the private wing. The real one. The one from before prison, before he got sick.Then comes the bad afternoon.The machines start to beep. Not loud at first. Then faster. A nurse looks in and then the doctor calls us. Not in an emergency way. In a soon way. The kind of soon we tried to outrun by getting married on a Friday.We go in. Same ritual as always. His blue blanket. Our hands holding his.

Julian Vane is never nervous in board meetings, but he is nervous about wedding in garden outside private wing window.I wear white dress Sarah found in one day because Sarah can find anything in one day. Simple. Not Vivienne's Birkin dress.
