THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED
“You wanted her, Trent."
My voice didn't shake.
"Now you can have her."
The entire hall fell silent.
For years, Elena Thorne suffered as the unwanted Luna of the Blackwood Pack. Her mate, Alpha Trent Black, never loved her. His family hated her. His pack mocked her. Yet she stayed, believing one day he would finally choose her.
Then his first love returned. And Elena realized she had spent years fighting for a place that was never hers.
So she leaves. What nobody expects is that the broken Luna they discarded is actually the daughter of one of the most powerful werewolf bloodlines in the world.
Now the pack that once looked down on her is forced to face the consequences of their cruelty. But Trent's regret comes too late.
Because another Alpha has already stepped into Elena's life. He is powerful, dangerous and possessive. And he is willing to burn entire packs to protect her.
As old secrets surface and enemies close in, Elena must choose between the mate who shattered her heart and the Alpha who is teaching her how to heal.
This time, she isn't begging to be loved. This time, they'll be the ones begging.

Chapter: Chapter 41: THE ROAD HOMECHAPTER 41 THE ROAD HOME XANDER’S POV The breach turned out to be nothing. Two rogue wolves, hungry and stupid enough to test our lines during the worst possible week. My warriors put them down in minutes. At this point, it didn't matter anymore because my mind was already three days south, standing in my mother’s kitchen, waiting for an answer I wasn’t sure I wanted. Elena saw me packing a bag by lantern light. “You’re not going alone,” she said. “She asked for me alone.” “I don’t care what she asked.” I zipped the bag shut harder than I needed to. “Elena, Talia’s gone. Isadora’s gone. My camp has a hole in it I can’t find, and you want to leave it wide open while we both ride south?” I turned to face her. The firelight caught reflected on the side of her jaw. “If I lose you on that road,” I said, “I won't come back from it.” “And if I lose you,” she said, “neither do I. So we go together, or neither of us goes, and you explain to your mother why you ignored her.” I di

Chapter: Chapter 40: AMONG USCHAPTER 40AMONG US XANDER’S POVThe forest was silent.No birds. No wind moving through branches. Nothing but our own boots crunching through snow and the ragged breath of eight warriors trying to keep pace with me.“Alpha.” Marcus’s voice, a bit lower than usual. “This isn’t right.”I already knew. I could feel it in my bones, the same way I felt a storm coming before the first cloud showed itself.“Stop,” I said.Nobody questioned it. The moment the words left my mouth, the trees exploded.An arrow took Dane in the shoulder before he even had time to shout. Silver, judging by the way he screamed. I threw myself sideways, claws already out, and caught the first attacker across the throat before he finished his swing.He didn’t scream when I hit him…didn’t even grunt.They came in pairs, moving the same way I used to drill my own warriors during years of training. Hand signals instead of shouting. Formation instead of chaos. When one fell, two others closed the gap without hesitatio

Chapter: Chapter 39: BLOOD I NEVER CHOSECHAPTER 39 BLOOD I NEVER CHOSE XANDER’S POV We walked back toward camp in silence, snow still falling around us, Elena’s hand warm in mine despite the cold. She didn’t bring back the question I asked about Corvin. She just let me carry it, walking close enough that I could feel her there without needing to look. Something felt wrong for sure. I could feel it deep down. I could see the camp in clearer view niw but something felt off. Wolves stood in silent clusters. Warriors ringed the clearing, weapons still holstered but bodies coiled tight, like they were waiting for permission to move. “Xander.” Elena’s held onto my hand. “Something happened.” “Stay close,” I said, already moving faster. We broke through the tree line just as two of my warriors dragged a figure into the center of camp, his arms pinned behind him, his knees buckling as he walked. He shifted mid-drag, fur receding into skin, and when his face came showed, my whole body couldn’t move as I kept staring in s

Chapter: Chapter 38: THE THING I DIDN’T SAYCHAPTER 38 THE THING I DIDN’T SAY XANDER’S POVThe snow kept falling. Elena kept waiting.“Tell me,” she said again.My throat felt off.. I just couldn’t speak, so I looked past her, toward the trees, because it was easier than looking at her face while I said this.“When I hit Trent,” I said. “That first night and when I fought in the valley today. I felt good, Elena. Not just strong but good.She didn’t say anything. She just waited.“I keep telling myself it’s protecting you,” I said. “That’s what I tell everyone. That’s what I tell myself… but there was a second, just a second, where I didn’t want to stop hitting him. Where some part of me wanted an excuse to keep going.”“That’s not the power,” she said quietly. “That’s just anger, Xander. Everyone feels that.”“Not like this.” I shook my head. “This felt like hunger. Like it wanted more than Trent had to give. So when the entity said I was carrying half of what’s in you, I wasn’t scared because it was strange. I was scared be

Chapter: Chapter 37: THE WEIGHT OF KNOWINGCHAPTER 37 THE WEIGHT OF KNOWING XANDER'S POV The fire went off a few hours ago but nobody moved to relight it. Marta's body was carried to a tent but her face kept appearing in my memory. The way her eyes stayed open. The silver pendant clutched so hard her knuckles became white. She knew something obviously.. I guess she tried to tell us but now she was gone. Elena sat across from me with her knees pulled to her chest. She didn’t utter a word since we buried Marta at the valley's edge. The others gave us space even her brothers who arrived with just the morning patrol kept their distance though I could feel Caleb's eyes on me. It felt like a hot blade pressed between my shoulders. I’m sure he blames me for this and honestly.. maybe he was right. Something moved in the dark between the trees. I was on my feet before my mind could process what was going on. The shift happened quickly because one minute ago.. I was sitting and now the next I was standing with my claws out and m

Chapter: Chapter 36: WHAT THE VALLEY SAWCHAPTER 36WHAT THE VALLEY SAW XANDER’S POVThe dead didn’t move toward Elena, instead they moved towards me.Dozens of eyes, moved as one, breaking away from the thing wearing Sloane’s body, and I felt every hair on my arms rise as their attention shifted on me like a weight pressing down from all sides at once.“Xander.” Elena’s voice filled with confusion. “What’s happening?”I didn’t have an answer for that.The thing in Sloane’s body moved slowly, its black endless eyes sweeping past Elena entirely, settling instead on me. And then, impossibly, it lowered its head.A bow.“No,” it said, in that same layered, ancient voice, though the reverence in it now made my skin crawl worse than any threat could have. “Not just her. Both of you.”“What are you talking about?” Elena demanded, stepping toward me instinctively, her hand finding my arm.The pale figures around us shifted closer, their hollow mouths no longer open in that silent scream. They watched me now, patient, curious, the
