Chapter: Book 3 -Epilogue-[This Is Not The End] ARIELLA It took us a while to get there, but it was a pleasant walk. The trees were all in full bloom, and it smelled delightful. As we walked, I started feeling a little better. I felt lighter and happier. He was right, though. I didn’t need to worry about him. He was fine. And if he wasn’t, I would be there to take care of him. We reached the stream, and it was gorgeous, surrounded by a ring of tall redwoods and the sun setting behind them. The water glistened in the light. “It’s beautiful,” he murmured. “Yeah,” I agreed. I sat on the edge of the stream, watching the ripples in the water as the gentle breeze stirred the surface. Malik lay on his back next to me, his eyes closed and a contented expression masking his features. “I could get used to this. The tranquility here is unlike anything I’ve felt in a long time.” I rested my chin on my shoulder, watching him, feeling the butterflies flutter with glee in my stomach. Immediately, I felt better than I

Chapter: Book 3 -50-[Memories] ARIELLA “I have a better idea,” I murmured as I studied the guard. “Instead of repeating everything to my father, why don’t you tell him yourself? Or, even better, have my mother look into your memories.” “Look into my memories?” Malik’s brow quirked in question. “How is she gonna do that?” I flashed him a smile, confident in my plan. “Here’s what hunters don’t know about my mom. Unlike the other wolves, my mother was born a witch from another realm. A realm where only witches, wizards, and mages existed.” “That’s, uhm... that’s something,” Malik acknowledged, the wheels in his head clocking overtime as he processed the information. “Yeah, so recently I learned my mom has this cool ability to see people’s memories,” I explained. “Lucky for me, I was born with a similar power. Mine is to see the outcome of major events. At least that’s what I think. Which was how we had known to expect another attack.” “From the moment we met, I knew there was something special about y

Chapter: Book 3 -49-[A Favor] ARIELLA “All right, I can do that. I’ll tell you everything once you promise to do something for me in return.” He nodded, continuing to eat. “What will that be?” “I just need to know my family is okay. My cousin Amanda, the one I was here with recently, is pregnant. My mom is sick and—“ “Say no more,” I chimed in, cutting him off. “It is mainly my fault you are in this cell. Had you not been my mate—although you could’ve died in battle—you wouldn’t have been here.” He stopped chewing, looking at me with intense curiosity. “Are you sure you don’t want to know what I need you to do for me or the time to think it over?” I shook my head. “I doubt it’ll be worse than you locked in a cell.” “Okay.” He gave a brief chuckle. “I think this will be the first time I ever requested a favor from a wolf—a favor for a former hunter.” “A favor from your mate,” I corrected, which made him smile. “I will check on your family, Malik. If they’re okay, I’ll come back and tell you, an

Chapter: Book 3 -48-[Debatable] ARIELLA Infuriated, hands balled into fists, nostrils flared, and hatred burning in my eyes, I stormed after my father. “Was locking him away seriously necessary?” I called out, trying to catch up with my father’s long strides. “He proved he was a wolf, yet you locked him away anyway, like some rabid dog.” Ahead, my father stopped and turned halfway towards me, leveling a look that said he’d heard enough. I had crossed the line and was making things worse. “I have to be sure he’s not an imposter, a hunter pretending to be a wolf. It’s like Alpha Declan pointed out. Nobody knows what made him a wolf.” I shook my head in disgust. “Malik did nothing wrong. He’s not some test used to see how well we can protect our pack.” “You’ve got no clue what you’re talking about,” Dad said, returning to his earlier pace. “There’s a lot to do. I suggest you focus on that before you join your mate in the cells.” “Ugh!” I let out an angry growl and kicked a small stone in my path, sen

Chapter: Book 3 -47-[Not A Threat II] MALIK The moment I saw her face when I awoke after blacking out earlier, I realized how grateful I was to still be alive, even as a werewolf. Not just that. I also understood the severity of this werewolf bond Owen had told me about. The bond was more than just a physical connection. It was also both emotional and spiritual. It sure would take some getting used to. The love and concern in Ariella’s eyes, despite her efforts to hide it, told me she was also thankful I was alive. She was worried about me and hoped I would be okay. Little did she know how much effort it took not to kiss her then and there. Then, suddenly, the world got quiet. The wind rustling trees, the birds tweeting, and the insects chirping all stopped. Her breath was in my ear. I could feel her heartbeat, fast and steady. For a split second, my body froze, and my heart stopped beating. Just for a second, but once my body registered what was happening, it was everything and nothing like I imag

Chapter: Book 3 -46-[Not A Threat] ARIELLA I placed my hand on his chest and willed him to wake up. His skin was warm to the touch, but he didn’t stir. I glanced around frantically, trying to find something to help him. My eyes landed on a large tree branch lying on the ground a few feet away. On my feet in seconds, I grabbed it and ran back to his side. I placed the branch under his arm and tried to apply pressure to the wound, but it was gushing blood. I had to do something, and fast. Or he would bleed out. Ripping off a piece of my shirt, I tied it around the branch, hoping it would stem the flow of blood. Thank the goddess, it had the desired effect. The blood slowed to a trickle. “El!” Abby screamed behind me, her heavy footfall letting me know she was running towards me. “Over here.” I shouted, never taking my eyes off my mate. I stripped off my belt and wrapped it around his arm, compressing the wound. “Oh, thank goodness!” she said as she knelt down next to me. “What the hell happened?”

The Alpha's Plump Luna
Rhiannon never believed the Moon Goddess hated her—until the night her first mate shattered her world. Public humiliation. Cruel rejection. Banishment. Left for dead in the forest, she stopped fighting for her life. Then an Alpha she barely knew tore through the darkness and changed her fate forever.
Kael wasn’t supposed to be her second chance, but the bond struck between them with staggering force. He didn’t look at her with disgust. He didn’t hesitate. He claimed her as his mate and Luna in front of his entire pack, promising her a home she never thought she’d deserve. With Crescent Moon behind her and Kael at her side, Rhiannon began to rebuild herself—slowly, painfully, beautifully.
But shadows don’t stay buried.
Kael’s enemies rose again, fueled by old lies and deeper betrayals. A jealous she-wolf. A vengeful witch. A fallen Alpha with blood ties to Kael’s past. Their schemes twisted together until everything Rhiannon loved was threatened all over again.
When the attacks escalated, when trust began to crack, when fear pulled her and Kael apart, Rhiannon had to decide whether she would run again—or stand and fight for the life she’d built.
Everything came down to the Bloodshade ruins, a cursed fortress where every secret finally surfaced. A stolen child. A broken marriage. A bond tested by grief, obsession, and war. Rhiannon and Kael would either walk out stronger than fate intended…or not at all.

Chapter: Chapter 37: The Bond He Refused to Name[KAEL]"Isn't it?" She tilted her head. "What happens when caution becomes paralysis? When protection becomes abandonment? When fear of future loss prevents present connection?""Unresolved bonds attract instability." Elowen's tone shifted to warning. "The pack senses uncertainty at the top. Melissa's behavior is only the beginning if ambiguity remains unaddressed. Nature abhors a vacuum, Kael. And pack hierarchy especially.""I'm handling it.""By waiting? By hoping time will make the choice easier?" She shook her head. "Claiming isn't dominance. It's protection. Clarity. Choice made public so others stop testing boundaries. The pack needs to know their Luna. Rhiannon needs to know she's wanted—not just tolerated, not just protected, but chosen. And you need to stop punishing yourself for surviving when Lyra didn't."The final observation cut deepest because it was true."What if she rejects it?" The fear spilled free. "What if the bond isn't enough? What if I'm not—""Enough?" Elowe

Chapter: Chapter 36: When Restraint Becomes Fear[KAEL]The Elder chamber's authority still echoed in my bones long into the corridors.Pack members dispersed around me; voices low with speculation about the hearing. Melissa's humiliation. Rhiannon's vindication. The subtle shift in social standing that would ripple through Crescent Moon for weeks.My attention fixed on Rhiannon's retreating form—shoulders tight despite victory, chin lifted in composure that cost more than anyone watching would understand.She'd stood before the Elders and told the truth without embellishment. Had faced judgment with the same quiet strength she brought to everything. Had proven herself worthy of respect she still didn't believe she deserved.I caught up to her before she reached the guest wing."Rhiannon."She stopped and turned. Her hazel eyes met mine with exhaustion she couldn't quite hide."Alpha.""Kael." The correction came automatically. "Just Kael."A small nod. Uncertainty in the gesture."I'm sorry."

Chapter: Chapter 35: When Truth Demands Witness[ELDER THALOS]The council chamber felt wrong before anyone spoke.Sixty years of service taught me to read pack energy like weather patterns. This morning carried the particular tension that preceded fractures—not violence, but something equally dangerous to cohesion."The air feels uneven," I observed, settling into my chair.Elowen nodded from across the table. "Strained. Like something's been pulled too tight.""Third disturbance involving the same wolf," Zelda added, fingers drumming on aged wood. "Melissa. Always at the center, never quite culpable."Apollo leaned back, expression thoughtful. "Pattern or coincidence?""Patterns don't apologize." Silas' voice carried the weight of someone who'd witnessed too many manipulations disguised as accidents.We'd convened earlier than planned. The incident last night—Melissa's theatrical accusation, Alpha Kael's careful handling—required Elder attention before gossip solidified into faction."Summon both," I decided. "Not for punishment.

Warriors muttered about border patrol fatigue wearing them down.I stood at the front, shoulders squared, listening with half my attention while the other half tracked something I couldn't name. Unease without source. Tension without origin."Alpha." Marcus stepped forward. "About the eastern sector—"Snickering interrupted him. Two younger warriors exchanged glances, grins poorly hidden."Something to share?" I asked coldly.One elbowed the other. "Nothing, Alpha. Just—pups notice things faster than adults sometimes."More laughter rippled through the group. Knowing. Amused.I didn't ask what they meant. Already knew.Rhiannon. The classroom.

Chapter: Chapter 33: When Being Seen Felt Like Safety[RHIANNON]The pups' classroom was chaos wrapped in laughter.Clay covered every surface—tables, floors, small hands, and my apron. Ten young wolves worked on mask-making with more enthusiasm than skill, creating lopsided wolf faces that barely resembled anything canine."Mine's Nyx!" A small girl held up a creation with crooked ears and fangs the size of her fist."That's not what Nyx looks like," another pup argued. "Nyx is beautiful and scary. Yours just looks scared.""Does not!""Does too!"I moved between them before the argument escalated, kneeling to examine both masks. "They're both fierce. Different styles of fierce."The girl beamed. The boy grudgingly accepted the compromise.This had become routine over the past week. Help with pups in the morning. Kitchen work in the afternoon. Training with Emrys when energy allowed. Building belonging through consistency instead of declaration.The kitchen incident still haunted my thoughts. Three days had passed since Melissa's "accid

Standard assignments. Expected coverage. Nothing unusual on paper.Everything felt off anyway.Twenty years of service taught me to trust instinct over documentation. When something looked too perfect, it usually was."Eastern sector," I told Marcus. "Take the new recruits. I want fresh eyes on those markers."He nodded without question. Good soldier. Better friend.I'd walk the eastern boundary myself before the day progressed. Call it paranoia. Call it thoroughness.
