A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL CHAPTER 41: TRUTH UNEARTHED
CHAPTER 41: TRUTH UNEARTHEDKael’s POVThe Mooncrest library smelled of charred parchment and cold stone. Smoke still clung faintly to the rafters where scorched books and scrolls lined the walls, a silent testament to the chaos Serena had sown. I ran my fingers over the edges of what remained, careful not to disturb the fragile fragments. Every record burned, every ledger missing or altered, whispered the same thing: deception. Manipulation. Lies crafted with a precision that could only have come from someone who understood the pack—and me—better than anyone should.I sank onto the edge of a ruined table, head in my hands, wrestling with a realization that weighed heavier than any physical burden. Ariana hadn’t left because she doubted me, or because she wanted to betray Mooncrest. She had left to survive. To protect herself, to protect the child growing inside her, and perhaps, to protect the pack from the chaos that threatened to consume it.Evidence lay scattered across the table
A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL CHAPTER 40: AWAKENING
CHAPTER 40: AWAKENINGAriana’s POVThe forest was alive with shadows, every branch a potential threat, every rustle a signal of movement. The snow beneath my boots had turned to ice in places, the cold biting, sharp as any blade. And yet, I felt warmth deep inside—a fire that had been dormant for so long, now raging unchecked.We had been tracking the rogue Alpha for days, following trails left by his pack, remnants of destruction marking their path. Liora stayed close behind me, ever vigilant, but I felt an almost magnetic pull, guiding me forward. The fire-blooded within me thrummed in rhythm with the world, sensing danger, calculating movement, anticipating attack before it arrived.And then I saw him.The rogue Alpha stood at the edge of a frozen clearing, taller than any wolf I had faced, shoulders broad, fur black as midnight, eyes glowing with predatory intelligence. His presence alone made the forest tense, the air thick with aggression and the scent of blood.“You should not
A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL CHAPTER 39: INTO THE WILD
CHAPTER 39: INTO THE WILDAriana’s POVThe wind tore at my hair, biting at my cheeks with a cruelty I had never felt within the safety of Mooncrest’s walls. Snow fell in fine, cruel shards, blanketing the rogue territory in a deceptive calm. Liora rode beside me, her hands steady on the reins, but I could feel the tension in every line of her body. We were fugitives now, moving into lands no pack governed, no law protected.The further we rode, the heavier the silence became. It wasn’t peaceful—it was alive, watching. The woods whispered in the wind, branches scraping like claws across one another, carrying sound in a way that made every crunch of snow under our horses’ hooves seem amplified, heralding our presence.I could feel it—their gaze. Wolves, rogues, hunters. I could sense their curiosity, their intent. Mooncrest may have turned against me, but out here, the stakes were no less deadly. The smallest misstep, the faintest hesitation, and we would be torn apart before the snow e
A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL CHAPTER 38: THE FALSE TRIAL
CHAPTER 38: THE FALSE TRIALAriana’s POVThe morning light had barely crested the horizon when I entered the council hall, my every step measured, my chest taut with resolve. The Mooncrest Pack awaited me like a predator lying in wait, the air thick with anticipation and suspicion. I could feel the tension clinging to the stone walls, winding itself around the elders, the guards, and the warriors who had once bowed willingly to my authority. Today, they did not bow. Today, they waited to see me falter.I kept my head high, letting my presence fill the room. My child stirred faintly within me, a pulse of life that grounded me, reminding me why I could not allow fear—or deception—to rule. I would face this trial with my dignity intact, my power undisguised, and my heart unbroken.The council chambers had been arranged differently for the trial. Every elder had a place of authority at the raised dais, the guards flanking the walls, and seats lined for witnesses. The room was suffused wit
A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL CHAPTER 37: BROKEN TRUST
CHAPTER 37: BROKEN TRUSTKael’s POVThe council chambers smelled of old stone, candle wax, and something I could not name—a tension that twisted my stomach into knots. I had been sitting silently, listening, watching, and measuring every word, every glance, every shift in posture of those present. And yet, the more I measured, the more I realized how dangerous silence could be.Ariana. My Luna. She had always been the storm contained, the strength steady and unwavering even in the face of chaos. And now, as the council gathered to discuss the accusations Serena had planted, I felt the weight of inaction pressing down on me.I should have spoken. I should have defended her openly, forcefully. My words could have reminded the pack of her loyalty, of her sacrifices, of the countless times she had risked herself for their safety. But I did not.Not because I doubted her. I never doubted her. But because I had no tangible proof. Because I knew that if I acted on instinct, if I leaned too h
A REPLACEMENT FOR ALPHA KAEL CHAPTER 36: POISONED SYMPATHY
CHAPTER 36: POISONED SYMPATHYAriana’s POVThe air in Mooncrest Pack had shifted without me noticing, like water quietly curling into a whirlpool. At first, it was subtle—glances that lingered too long, murmured words caught in the corners of the hall, warriors and elders who once greeted me with respect now stiffening as I passed. The scent of suspicion hovered in the corridors, faint but unmistakable, and I could feel the walls of my authority trembling, though I had done nothing to invite it.It began the morning after Serena’s public return. The pack had not forgotten her voice, her pale, delicate smile, or the way she had painted herself as the victim, the innocent who had been attacked and betrayed. Wolves whispered in the shadowed halls, and eyes that had once welcomed me now flicked away when I met them. Even the younger apprentices—those I had trained with care, the ones who had watched me rise through trials and combat—now hesitated to speak my name aloud.I tried to ignore
