Chapter: EpilogueThe grand ballroom of the Lycan Kingdom was wall-to-wall with every noble, dignitary, and hanger-on that the new alliance could scrape from the edges of the world.I stood at the center of it all, holding my six-month-old daughter in my arms. Lyra was heavier than she looked, which was saying something, because she was already the size of a small badger and nearly as feral when she wanted to be. She slept now, jaw slack, a little bubble of drool catching the light on her lower lip.Darren’s hand was glued to my waist, fingers splayed like he was afraid I’d be snatched away. Not that I minded. Honestly, it was better he was close, so I could keep the ogling eyes from staring at him. He looked better than he had any right to. Unlike me, who had these milk jugs attached to my chest where my perky breasts used to be.I let my gaze drift over the crowd, picking out faces I recognized and cataloging their reactions to the baby. Most were polite, some envious, a few openly terrified. Lyra did

Chapter: Chapter 134AllissaI didn’t want to do this without Darren, but I didn’t have a choice. I looked around the room at the mess left over from the fight. The windows were gone, glass scattered across the stone floor like confetti. One of the tapestries had caught fire and was now a smoldering heap in the corner, probably from where Fury’s lightning had ricocheted during the last round of magical chaos. Honestly, it was perfect for the way things have been going lately. I had to laugh about it.Eira had a damp cloth and was pressing it to my forehead. A doctor and healer were in the room with me, and the time to deliver was now.“It’s almost time to push. Ready to meet your child?”I nodded. I was, but I wished Darren was here. Was he safe? Was he in trouble? There was literally nothing I could do. I was completely vulnerable.And then, like a shockwave through my bones, I felt Darren’s mindlink smash through the agony.Ally, I’m coming. I’m racing to the room now.I sobbed out a laugh, which turned

Chapter: Chapter 133DarrenI took my best squad and left. Time was of the essence, and I didn’t know how much I had. I wanted to be back for Ally, but we couldn’t let my half uncle escape. I sent a message to my father and told him I was going after his half-brother. There was no saving him. Even if he had been brainwashed later, he had acted out of revenge before that. I ended my message with clear instructions. ‘Don’t come after me. Don’t send anyone else. If I’m not back by nightfall, burn the woods until you find my body or theirs.’We headed to the mountainous region of our territory. Sharp jagged rocks and mountainous terrain made it difficult to navigate. We shifted, since our beasts were more agile. We moved in formation, silent and perfect, each step measured to keep the noise down to a whisper.We didn’t talk. Didn’t need to. Every man here could sense what was coming, like a migraine building behind the eyes. At the front, Tim and Rodney sniffed the air, every muscle coiled. My gamma and delta

Chapter: Chapter 132AllissaEira flung herself over me, her magic a last-ditch wall of icy blue, but Angelica’s attack punched right through. The pressure slammed me to the bed, pinned me by the throat, and for one long, surreal second, everything went quiet. I saw Eira on the floor, twitching but alive, her hands clamped around her body as she writhed in pain.Another wave of gold came rushing at me and I moved to protect my unborn baby. Just when I should have been hit, the world tore sideways.A sound like a violin string being pulled and breaking ripped the air. Time exploded, a million moments shattering into a new and terrible present. There was a woman standing at the foot of the bed who hadn’t been there before. She wore nothing but blue fire and the world’s most obscene sense of confidence. Her hair was a fuse, white as the moon and long, down past her waist. Her eyes were glowing, no color at all, just light, and her smile was the kind you wear when you’re about to blow the heads off every god i

Chapter: Chapter 131AllissaI was losing the war with my own body.Every contraction hit like a meteor, atomic and intense. My knees were up, my hands curled so tight I was gouging the tender skin of my own palms. Sweat slicked my scalp, pooled in the valley of my chest, and trickled down the sides of my face in slow, traitorous lines. I wanted to hang on as long as I could. I was hoping Darren would make it back in time, but it wasn’t looking good.Eira was by my side with her cool hands and gentle whispers. She asked if I wanted the doctor, but I was in denial that I needed one already. She pressed a cold cloth to my forehead and brushed the sodden hair from my eyes. “Remember to breathe.”I wanted to ask her if she could go look for Darren, but then everything outside went wrong. The light in the room stuttered, turning faint and blue. My vision blurred, then snapped into crystal focus as the world outside the glass froze, every leaf and bird and cloud locked in a moment of impossible silence. I could

Chapter: Chapter 130LyleI looked down at the shadow that followed below us. A thunder of dragons flew around us as we headed to war. I held onto Dayanara tight … maybe tighter than was needed. I wasn’t going to back down from her without a fight. I wanted to prove to her that I wasn’t like her last mate. I would be good to her, and I would love her deeper than she has ever known or could even fathom. I wouldn’t push her to be ready, but I would be a constant in her life. Gently breaking her barriers down.“Lyle … the demons use mimics and changelings, so be careful. Don’t be deceived.” Her voice was soft as her hair brushed over my face from the wind.“You wouldn’t be worried about me, right?” I teased as I inhaled the scent from her hair.“Of course I am.” Her answer shocked me. I didn’t anticipate she would answer honestly.“Don’t worry. I’m not going to die. Who’s going to take care of you if something happens to me? My job is to be with you and to make you smile. My life is no longer my own, but your

The Alpha’s Shadow Luna
Leah gave him everything, her trust, her heart, even the future she thought they would share. But Shane's smiles always found her sister, Mary, and the man Leah loved never loved her back. Broken and humiliated, she leaves to the ruthless Northwind Pack, determined to bury the past and build a life where no one can make her feel invisible again.
What she doesn't expect is Darien.
Cold, dangerous, and the Alpha's advisor, Darien is nothing like the wolves she's known. He sees through her walls with unnerving precision, challenges her at every turn, and refuses to let her fade into the background. But Darien carries secrets of his own, and the pull he feels toward Leah doesn't fit into his carefully laid plans.
Caught between a bond she never asked for and a destiny she doesn't understand, Leah must decide: will she guard her heart behind the walls she built to keep her safe, or will she embrace the power rising within her and become the wolf she was always meant to be?
In the North, not everything is what it seems. The Northwind Pack remembers its legends, and some bloodlines refuse to stay buried.

Chapter: Chapter 63DarienI couldn't stop smiling.Here I was, the Lycan King, sitting in my office reviewing intelligence reports about potential Raven Witch sightings, and I was grinning like a fool.But I couldn't help it.Leah sat across from me at my desk, her hair falling forward as she read through the documents I'd given her. Historical records about the Lycan Kingdom, our customs, our laws. Information she'd need as my mate, as my queen.The thought made my chest swell with pride. My mate. My queen. She was mine.I stretched my leg under the desk, letting my foot brush against hers. She glanced up, catching me watching her, and a smile curved her lips. She didn't pull away. Instead, she hooked her ankle around mine, the playful gesture making warmth flood through me.This was everything. This quiet domesticity, this easy companionship. Working side by side, touching without thinking, existing in the same space with perfect contentment.I'd known waiting for my fated mate was the right choice. H

Chapter: Chapter 62Chapter 38LeahThe warm water had washed away the remnants of our night together, but nothing could wash away the contentment that had settled deep in my bones. Darien wrapped a towel around me, his movements gentle and reverent as he dried me off.I closed my eyes, reaching inward for Andromeda. She was still dormant, still silent. But there was something different now. A sense of peace, of satisfaction, emanating from where she slept. Like she was content to rest while I experienced this happiness. I think she knew our plan was for him not to mark me and she was afraid unmarked I might run again. The fastest way to end the heat is to be marked. It wasn’t the plan we had in mind but I think both Darien and I were happy about it. We were both content … happy. Too hell with the Raven Witch. Darien was mine now and I wasn’t about to lose him to anyone. No one would steal this happiness from me.“What are you thinking about?” Darien asked softly, the towel moving across my shoulders.“

Chapter: Chapter 61LeahDarien lifted me effortlessly, carrying me toward the massive bed. The heat still pulsed through me, demanding and insistent, but I fought to keep control. I wanted this to be special. Wanted to remember every moment clearly, not be lost in a haze of instinct.He set me down gently at the edge of the bed, then gave me the most endearing, shy look I’d ever seen on his face.“I should probably tell you,” he said, his voice rough, “not to judge me too harshly. I’ve never done this before."My heart swelled. “I haven’t either. Shane never touched me like that.”Relief and something hotter flashed in his silver eyes. He cupped my cheeks, his thumbs

Chapter: Chapter 60DarienThe moment I stepped into the hallway, my feral nature roared to the surface.Mine. Claim. Mate. MINE.The beast inside me was taking over. It consumed me, filling every thought with primal need. Leah’s scent called to me through the door, sweet and intoxicating and made infinitely more potent by her heat.I pressed my back against the wall, my claws digging into the side. Every instinct screamed at me to go back in there. To claim what was mine. To complete the bond that had been pulling at us.My mate was in pain. In need. And I was standing out here doing nothing. Because I couldn’t.No. I gritted my teeth, forcing my lycan back. Not like this. Not when she couldn’t think cl

Chapter: Chapter 59LeahAfter dinner, Darien led me through the compound to his quarters. Our quarters now, I supposed. The weight of that realization settled over me as he opened the door. “This is our room, so feel free to change anything and everything to your liking.” I turned to face him, and he must have seen something in my expression because he crossed to me immediately, taking my hands in his.“Leah.” His voice was gentle. “We don’t have to do anything tonight. Or tomorrow. Or any night until you’re ready. There’s no pressure. No expectations. I just want you by my side. The rest will come when you are ready."My heart swelled at his words, at the sincerity in his eyes. But that’s when the doubts crept in. The ones I’d been pushing down all evening. The ones I promised myself that I would fight.This was too perfect. Too good to be true. The Lycan King was my mate, and he was looking at me like I was his everything. It was everything I wanted. I was waiting for the ball to drop.Time’s up, Le

Chapter: Chapter 58LeahThe flight was smooth but felt eternal. I watched the clouds pass outside the window, my mind racing with everything that had happened.From leaving my home to finding out I was an Asena wolf with a Lycan King as my mate, and there being a spirit parasite in my sister's dead body, sent by an ancient titan who wanted to claim me.Life had a strange sense of humor."What are you thinking about?" Darien's thumb traced circles on the back of my hand."How much has changed." I looked at him. "How different everything is now.""Better or worse?" For a moment, his eyes took on a vulnerable look.I smiled. "Better. Infinitely better."
