MasukThe night had fallen strangely silent.The smell of blood still lingered in the air as Gary's body lay motionless on the ground.No one spoke.The revelation about Elder Marcus had stunned everyone.Luciano silently ordered two warriors to secure Gary's body while the others rounded up the surviving men.Only one person held Kane's attention.Elara.She stood frozen where Gary had left her, staring at the ground.Kane walked toward her.Slowly.His wolf's possessiveness still pulsed beneath his skin.Tyrant howled proudly, the sound carrying a long way.Elara swallowed hard, still standing in the same position.Slowly, Tyrant shifted back into Kane. Without saying a word, he untied the ropes around her wrists.The angry red marks immediately caught his attention.His jaw tightened. He looked up, and their eyes locked.He pulled her into a tight hug, showering kisses over her face and hair. Elara lost all self-control and hugged him back with teary eyes, not caring that his robe was co
★ BLOOD MOON PACK ★"He took her?" Kane said slowly in a deep, terrifying voice."Calm down, I—" Before Luciano could finish, Kane had already left the room at full speed.Luciano ran after him and immediately mind-linked the warriors."Oh, Goddess!" Luciano muttered as he watched Kane speed out of the castle. As he ran, he began shifting, and soon enough, Tyrant took over completely."What the fuck," he muttered, almost in fear as Tyrant burst out of the castle with a thunderous growl.The growl caught the attention of everyone in the castle.Everyone ran out and surrounded Luciano."Babe," Selene called, her hands roaming all over his body. "Are you okay?""I'm fine... but Elara...""What about Elara?" Selene panicked."Alpha Gary took her!""Alpha Gary? Who's that?" Selene asked."I need to go after Kane. I'll explain everything as soon as I'm back." He pressed a kiss to her forehead, jumped onto his horse, and went after Kane.Mira, Lizzy, Lady Claribel, Evie, and some maids immed
Dark clouds rolled across the night sky, swallowing the moon.A cold wind swept through the Blood Moon Pack, rustling the towering trees that surrounded the palace.Something about the night felt...Wrong.The warriors felt it.The elders felt it.Even the wolves hidden deep within the forest had gone unusually silent.It was the kind of silence that came before a storm.---Inside the palace...Elara lay awake on her bed.Sleep refused to come.Ever since the strange feeling in the gardens and the attempted intrusion, she couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her.She sighed and sat up.The room was quiet.Lizzy and Mira had already fallen asleep."I need some air," she whispered.Carefully, she wrapped a blanket around herself and stepped outside.The corridors were empty.Only the soft glow of torches lit her path.She slowly made her way toward one of the palace balconies.The cool breeze brushed against her face."So peaceful," she yawned.---Across the palace...
Blood Moon Pack had never felt so restless.Since the sightings near the western border, warriors had doubled their patrols.Every entrance to the palace was heavily guarded.No one was allowed to leave the pack without permission.Even the servants had begun whispering among themselves.Something was coming.They just didn't know what.---The first rays of sunlight spilled across the palace courtyard as warriors prepared for another patrol.Luciano tightened the straps of his leather armor while Kai checked the supplies."We've searched almost every inch of that forest," Kai muttered."And found nothing."Luciano frowned."That's exactly what worries me.""They're hiding."Before Kai could respond, Alpha Kane strode into the courtyard.The chatter stopped immediately.Every warrior straightened."My Alpha."Kane acknowledged them with a brief nod."Any reports?"Kai stepped forward."None since dawn.""They've gone quiet."Kane's silver eyes darkened."No.""They've become patient."
Morning settled over the Blood Moon Pack, but the palace felt unusually quiet.Everything looked the same.Yet...Something had changed.Everyone could feel it.Rumors spread through the palace like wildfire.Some whispered about the strange rogues seen near the western border.Others whispered about how Alpha Kane had defended Elara.No one dared speak too loudly.Not when palace walls always seemed to have ears.---Elara carried a basket of freshly washed linens through one of the palace corridors.Her movements were slow.Her eyes remained fixed on the floor.She hadn't slept.Every time she closed her eyes...She saw Kane.His cold expression.His rejection.His words.She swallowed the lump in her throat.No.She wouldn't cry again.Not over someone who had made it clear he didn't want her."Elara."She looked up.Mira stood a few steps away, offering her a gentle smile."You should rest.""I'm fine.""You don't look fine."Elara forced a smile."I'll survive."Mira knew better
The heavy doors of Alpha Kane's office swung open one after another as the elders answered the summons.The atmosphere inside the chamber grew tense almost immediately.A large parchment map covered the center of Kane's desk, its edges held down by polished daggers. Small wooden markers had already been placed along the borders separating the Blood Moon Pack from the neighboring territories.Luciano stood beside the table with his arms folded while the elders gathered around.No one spoke.They knew better than to interrupt the Alpha when his expression looked this cold.Kane rested both palms on the desk, his piercing silver eyes fixed on the marked location."Explain."Luciano stepped forward."An hour before dawn, our western patrol discovered fresh tracks near the Dark Fang border."He pointed at the map."They weren't ours."One of the older elders frowned."Dark Fang warriors?"Luciano shook his head."No.""The tracks belonged to rogues."Another elder looked surprised."How ma
********"Is this how I'm going to live for the rest of my life? A sex slave?"Her thoughts were interrupted by the presence of Lady Anika; five maids walked closely behind her, and Elara wondered who she was. "His mistress?" she swallowed. "Why would his mistress come here?"**To be with t
She glanced at the rumpled bed, at his shirt still lying there where she’d folded it. Part of her wanted to crawl back under the covers and pretend the morning hadn’t happened yet. The smarter part knew better.The walk to her room felt longer than usual. A couple of maids passed her in the hall; o
9PM, BLOOD MOON PACK, ALPHA KANE'S CHAMBER* The rain was falling so heavily,the wind blowing so loudly as well.Kane stood by the window, staring at the rain drumming heavly against the window flames,his thoughts filled with his decision to confine Anika.**" Did I go too far,buddy? **He asked his
KANE'S CHAMBER"You want to do what? Luciano asked."I want to send Anika away ", Kane said calmly.“You’re pushing too far,” Luciano said, arms crossed, jaw tight. “Stripping Anika completely? That’s not just punishment—that’s a declaration.”Kane didn’t look up from the table
