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 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

Chapter: Chapter 32: Patterns in the Shadows[EMRYS]First light brought a routine that felt wrong.I organized patrol rotations in the armory, reviewing routes Kael had approved the night before. 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. Call it the itch between my shoulder blades that meant someone was watching.The morning patrol departed in coordinated groups. I watched them disappear into tree cover, then headed east alone.The boundary stretched for miles—dense forest transitioning to rocky outcrops that made infiltration difficult. Our pack had held this territory for generations. Every tree, every

Chapter: Chapter 31: Control Versus Care[KAEL]The council chamber felt smaller every time I entered it.Elder Thalos spread maps across the table, pointing to disputed hunting grounds. "The northern party claims they were there first. The southerners insist their markings predate—""Split the territory," I interrupted. "Alternate weeks. Both parties get equal access. Problem solved."Thalos blinked. "That simple?""Leadership usually is when ego isn't involved." I moved to the next issue. "Winter stores?""Adequate but tight," Elowen reported. "We'll need increased hunting rotations.""Schedule them. Next?""The eastern patrols need reinforcement," Apollo insisted. "Those incursions—""Already handled." I signed the rotation schedule. "Next issue."The morning progressed through routine decisions that required authority more than thought. Border patrol rotations. Supply distribution. Minor disputes that escalated because no one wanted to compromise.I resolved each efficiently, mind only half-present.The other half kept d

Chapter: Chapter 30: When Safety Shattered[RHIANNON]The manor halls felt less foreign each morning.I navigated corridors with growing confidence, no longer counting steps to my room or memorizing escape routes. Three months, and the stone walls had stopped feeling like a cage.Progress. Small but real."Rhiannon!" Cora's voice echoed from the kitchen. "Need your hands!"I changed direction automatically, drawn by warmth and the smell of baking bread. The kitchen was chaos—omegas moving in coordinated disorder, preparing meals for over three hundred wolves.Cora pressed a knife into my palm without ceremony. "Vegetables. That pile. Go."No asking if I minded. No checking if I was capable. Just immediate inclusion that felt more like acceptance than any formal welcome could have.I settled at the worn wooden counter and started chopping. Onions made my eyes water. The repetitive motion steadied racing thoughts I hadn't realized were spiraling.Useful. I was being useful without expectation or judgment."Your cuts are getting

Chapter: Chapter 29: The Weight of Leadership[KAEL]The council room smelled like old wood and territorial tension.I stood at the head of the long table, maps spread across scarred oak, ledgers stacked in precise columns. Elders Thalos, Elowen, and Silas occupied their usual positions—faces weathered by years of pack politics, eyes sharp with assessment."Border reports," I prompted.Thalos unrolled a marked map. "Eastern tree line. Three minor incursions in the past week. Nothing overtly hostile, but scouts report unfamiliar scent markers."My jaw tightened. "Rogue or organized?""Difficult to say." Elowen tapped a section of border. "Too deliberate for random wandering. Too cautious for direct challenge."Testing us. Probing for weaknesses."Double patrols on the eastern sector," I ordered. "Pair younger warriors with veterans. I want eyes on those markers every six hours."Silas nodded, making notes. "Sigil checks?""Every ancient marker. Quietly. Don't alarm the pack unnecessarily."The meeting continued through routine mat

Chapter: Chapter 28: When Shadows Watched[RHIANNON]The training grounds felt different in morning light.Less intimidating somehow. Softer edges, gentler expectations. Emrys waited near the weapons rack, arms crossed, expression patient in a way that made my shoulders relax fractionally."Ready?" he asked.No. Not even close. My body still ached from yesterday's session with the pups—muscles protesting movements I'd forgotten how to do properly. Three months of barely surviving had stolen strength I'd spent years building."Ready," I lied.He smiled like he knew better but wouldn't call me on it. "We'll start light. Footwork and balance. Nothing fancy."Relief flooded through me. I'd been terrified he'd expect warrior-level drills I couldn't possibly complete. Terrified I'd embarrass myself in front of someone Kael trusted.We began with basic stances. Weight distribution. Center of gravity. Fundamentals I should have mastered years ago but felt foreign in a body that had forgotten what safety meant.My legs trembled after

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

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?”
