Chapter 12 – Ghosts in the Moonlight

Kael’s POV

The dungeon still smelled of iron and blood when I left it behind. The echoes of the rogue’s voice followed me up the narrow stone stairs, each word dragging behind like a curse I couldn’t shake.

She didn’t want to see you.

The torchlight flickered along the walls, shadows stretching long and thin across the corridor, but all I could see was that damned smirk—the way the rogue said her name. Serena.

He’d spoken it like it was sacred. Like it belonged to him.

My hands clenched before I even realized it, the phantom sting of rage burning my palms. The guards had to drag me off him before I tore his throat out. But the damage was already done. His words had sunk deep, festering where reason couldn’t reach.

Serena might be alive.

I’d buried her in my heart years ago. Mourned her until the pain turned into something sharp and cold. Until I learned to live with the silence she left behind. And now—now this filthy rogue claimed she was o

  • A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL    CHAPTER 16 — A Respected Luna

    CHAPTER 16 — A Respected LunaAriana’s POVThe war room could wait.I told the guard I needed a few minutes, but really, I needed air — space to breathe, to think. The world around me felt different this morning, as if some invisible thread had been pulled tight overnight.When Nira came back into the room, she looked pale and restless, her fingers twisting the edge of her apron.“What were you going to say earlier?” I asked, lowering my voice.She hesitated, eyes darting toward the door again. Then she took a shaky breath and leaned in close. “You weren’t supposed to know, Luna,” she whispered, “but… the Alpha is the reason everyone changed.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”Her gaze softened, guilt flashing across her face. “Last night, after the feast — after your trial — he called the pack together. All of us. The warriors, the maids, everyone. He was furious. He said if anyone disrespected you again, they’d be punished. Banished, even.”My stomach dropped. “He said that?”She nodde

  • A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL    CHAPTER 15 — Whispering Secrets

    CHAPTER 15 — Whispering SecretsAriana’s POVMorning crept into my room like a shy visitor — soft, golden light spilling through the curtains, painting the walls in warmth I didn’t quite feel.I blinked awake, eyes gritty from too little rest. For a long moment, I just lay there, tangled in the sheets, my body heavy but my mind restless.The events of the previous day flooded back — the whispers, the humiliation, the crack in the earth that shouldn’t have been there. Kael’s voice. His eyes. The silence that followed.I groaned softly, pressing the heel of my hand to my forehead. “Great,” I muttered to no one. “Another day to feel like a freak.”Dragging myself upright, I shuffled toward the bathroom, feet bare against the cold floor. But halfway there, I stopped — frozen in place.Something tugged at the edges of my memory.It was faint, like the echo of a dream I couldn’t quite reach.For a second, I could almost swear… someone had been here last night.The room had felt different wh

  • A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL    CHAPTER 14 — Respect to a Luna

    CHAPTER 14 — Respect to a LunaKael’s POVThe morning air was razor-sharp, cutting through the courtyard as Kael strode into the gathering hall. Every conversation died the instant his boots struck the marble floor. Wolves who’d been lounging against pillars straightened, their laughter strangled in their throats.They’d all heard what happened at the training grounds. Word spread like wildfire — the Luna had fought, bled, and burned silver. And some of them, fools that they were, thought it was something to mock.Not today.“Everyone,” Kael said, voice low but carrying like thunder through the hall. “Gather.”They obeyed, forming a half-circle before him — warriors, servants, and ranked members alike. The tension in the air was so thick that it was almost palpable.“I’ll make this simple,” he began, eyes cold and gold. “Whatever happens between me and Ariana stays between us. But outside these walls…” He paused, gaze sweeping over them. “She is your Luna. And she will be respected as

    Chapter 13 – Unnerving SecretsKael’s POVDawn came too quickly.The first rays of sunlight slipped through the cracks in the curtains, painting faint gold lines across my desk. I hadn’t slept a single second. Not after leaving her room.The night had been long, the silence heavier than armor. And no matter how many reports I tried to read, how many tasks I buried myself in, her face kept cutting through the haze.The streaks of dried tears on her cheeks. The way she whispered my name in her sleep.I’d stood by her bed far longer than I should have — a foolish, dangerous thing for someone like me. But I couldn’t help it. Seeing her like that... it had cracked something I thought was unbreakable.Now, as I sat in my office overlooking the eastern courtyard, my chest felt like someone had poured fire into it and locked it tight.You’re losing control, Kael.The thought burned as much as it mocked.I shoved back the chair and stood, needing to move. To breathe. Anything to get the image

  • A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL    Chapter 11 – The Ghost That Breathes

    Chapter 11 – The Ghost That Breathes Kael’s POV The night reeked of blood and smoke. Rogues had come from the eastern ridge—fast, silent, and vicious. We’d taken most of them down before the moon reached its peak, but the stench of betrayal lingered long after the fight was done. Now, in the stone chamber below the fortress, I stood before the last one breathing. He was on his knees, wrists bound in silver chains, skin blistered and raw where the metal touched. His head hung low, hair matted with dirt and blood, but the moment I entered, he raised his gaze. And smiled. “Alpha Kael,” he rasped, voice hoarse yet mocking. “I was wondering when you’d come.” I crossed the distance in three strides, grabbing a fistful of his shirt and yanking him up. “You came into my lands. You slaughtered my guards. Tell me why before I rip the answer out of your throat.” The rogue’s smirk widened, teeth flashing under the dim torchlight. “You wouldn’t kill me. Not when I’m the one carrying her mes
