Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 16: Breaking the Silence
LIRAFor weeks, I had kept my distance.For weeks, I had resisted.But I was tired.Tired of pretending I didn’t feel the weight of Caius’ gaze on me every time we were in the same room.Tired of pretending I didn’t notice the way he was always nearby, whether it was during meals, training, or even when I walked through the pack grounds.And most of all, I was tired of pretending I wasn’t… curious.Curious about him.About the mate bond.About why he seemed so certain that I was his, even when everything inside me screamed that I wasn’t like other wolves.So when I found him alone, standing by the balcony outside the main hall, I hesitated only for a moment before stepping forward.The wind was cold, carrying the scent of pine and snow, but he didn’t seem to notice. His hands were braced against the railing, muscles tense beneath his dark tunic. The moon cast a pale glow over him, highlighting the sharp angles of his face, the storm brewing in his expression.He noticed me instantly.

CAIUS“I’m going to ask you again, where’s your wolf? What’s her name?” I asked Lira, my voice hard, more demanding than I meant it to be.I knew my question had hit something deep, something fragile. Because the second I asked it, Lira tensed so hard she might as well have turned to stone. The shift in her posture was subtle, but it was unmistakable. Her back stiffened, her shoulders squared as if bracing for an impact that only she could feel. Her hands, which had been loosely folded in her lap, clenched into fists. A muscle ticked in her jaw.For a long moment, she said nothing. Not a breath, not a flicker of movement. I watched her closely, trying to read the expression in her face. But her eyes—those eyes—were shuttered, closed off in a way that made it impossible to get past her walls. And then I wondered if I had pushed too far. If I had asked something I wasn’t supposed to know.But then, to my surprise, she exhaled—not with anger, but with exhaustion, as though she had been h

LIRAI was not expecting this reaction. Not from him. Not from Caius.I thought he would laugh. I thought he would mock me, call me weak, or say something cruel to drive home the fact that I was less than a wolf. That I had no place in this world where wolves were supposed to reign.But instead… he looked concerned. Genuinely concerned. His dark eyes softened, brows furrowing in a way that made me feel like I was being dissected, but not in the cruel, judgmental way I had grown accustomed to. No, this was different. This was something entirely new.He wasn’t pitying me. He wasn’t looking down at me like I was some kind of monster or mistake. He was looking at me like I mattered. Like my struggle was worth understanding.And it made me feel exposed.My chest tightened, my fingers trembling against my own arms as I crossed them, trying to shield myself from the vulnerability I felt spreading through me. I had never let anyone in. I’d never needed to. My entire life had been about surviv

CAIUSI watched as Lira toyed with the edge of her sleeve, her expression unreadable, her eyes fixed on the fabric in her hands as though it were the most important thing in the world. We had finally broken the silence between us, but even though the words had been spoken, questions still remained, unanswered and unresolved. The tension between us lingered in the air like an unspoken challenge.If she wasn’t going to demand answers herself, then I would. She could avoid the truth, but I couldn’t. Not when I felt the weight of it pressing down on both of us."You can call him."The words came out of my mouth without thought, firm and unyielding, breaking the quiet like a crack of thunder. I didn’t look away from her, watching as her fingers froze mid-motion, the sleeve slipping from her grasp.She stilled completely, her body locking into place as though my words had caught her off guard. Her gaze snapped to mine, wary, as if I had just said something she hadn’t expected. I wasn’t sure
Last Updated : 2025-03-13Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 20: The Elders’ Council
CAIUSThere was only one group who could know the truth about Lira—the Elders.Fifteen ancient wolves who governed our kind, bound by duty, wisdom, and knowledge passed down through centuries. Their purpose was to oversee the laws of our kind, to ensure the balance between the packs, to keep the legacy of the wolves intact. They were as old as the very blood that ran through our veins, their existence a cornerstone of our world.Among them, one stood above the rest.Elder Aldric.The oldest and strongest of them all. His name alone commanded respect. Every Alpha knew him, feared him, and yet few ever dared to approach him unless they had no other choice. His age wasn’t just a number—it was a symbol of his dominance, a marker of the unfathomable depth of his knowledge. And he didn’t share that knowledge lightly.I hadn’t spoken to him in years. The Elders rarely meddled in the affairs of individual packs unless something drastic occurred. A rogue Alpha, a threat to the balance, a chall

LIRA I knew something had changed the moment Caius stepped out of his office.His expression was unreadable, his dark eyes clouded with something unfamiliar. Something tense. I had seen Caius angry before, seen him impassive, calculating—but this was different. This was something else entirely.A chill curled around my spine.“Who did you call?” I asked.He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he crossed the room in steady, measured steps, stopping only when he was directly in front of me. His presence was always imposing, but now it felt different. Heavier.Then, finally—he spoke.“The Elders.”I inhaled sharply. “The Elders?”Caius folded his arms, his jaw tightening. “Aldric wants to meet. In person.”The name sent another shiver down my spine. Aldric wasn’t just any Elder—he was the Elder. The one who spoke, and the rest listened. The one whose decisions shaped the future of our kind.“Why?” I asked, my voice quieter than before.Caius didn’t look away. His gaze bore into me, stead

LIRAThe scent of cedarwood and crisp mountain air filled my lungs before I even opened my eyes.I inhaled sharply, blinking against the morning light as I sat up. The familiar dark walls of my room were… different.I frowned.The once cold, imposing stone was now softened by rich fabrics—deep blue, silver, and cream draped along the walls. A large, fur-lined rug covered the floor, and at the foot of my bed sat a new chest, slightly ajar.Curious, I slipped out of bed, shivering as my bare feet sank into the thick rug. I crouched before the chest and gently lifted the lid.'Clothes.'Not just any clothes—gowns, tunics, warm cloaks, and boots, all clearly tailored to fit me perfectly. Every stitch and fabric choice spoke of care, not just practicality.'Who…?'The answer struck me instantly.'Caius.'I pressed my lips together, my heart doing something stupidly warm in my chest.A knock interrupted my thoughts."Come in?"The door swung open, revealing Ava, one of the omegas.She carrie

CAIUS"This is ridiculous," I muttered, running a hand down my face.Across from me, Elias and Ronan grinned like a pair of fools."You," Elias snickered, "argued with a tailor over fabric.""She needed something comfortable," I said gruffly. "The tailor was an idiot."Ronan leaned back in his chair, smirking. "And what about the clothes? The cloaks? The boots? Did he force those on you, too?"I scowled.The truth was, I had chosen every piece myself.I had watched Lira closely, noticed the way she hugged herself in the cold, the way her clothes were still the ones she had been taken in—torn, worn, and unsuitable for the North.So I hava to fix it.Because it was my duty to take care of her.Not because I wanted to see her smile.Not because my wolf rumbled in satisfaction every time she grew more comfortable here.'Definitely not.'Elias crossed his arms, amusement flickering in his sharp eyes. "You do realize the entire pack sees it, right?"I exhaled through my nose. "Sees what?""T

Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 130: The Warning in Silence
MORGANA I didn't walk. I ran. The vision still echoed behind my eyes like lightning that refused to fade. I had no time to waste, no room for caution. I clutched the edge of my cloak and stormed through the halls of Grimhowl, the weight of destiny—and dread—pressing down on my shoulders like an avalanche ready to fall. Caius. Lira. They needed to know what I saw. The future was still uncertain, a thread split in two. One path led to fire, ruin, and death. The other—hope. But both required a choice. A sacrifice. A weapon. And time, we had little of that left. I reached the dining hall, heart thudding in my chest, relief washing over me as I spotted them all inside. Lira stood beside Caius, her hand resting gently on his. Tobias and Thoren sat nearby, deep in conversation with Seraphina and Dain. Deanna and Elowen were seated next to Ronan and Kora, who looked up the moment I entered. Elias stood at the far end, arms crossed, eyes alert. Even the Elders Council had g
Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 129: Blood and Binding
MORGANA The moment I stepped out of the war room, scroll clutched tight to my chest, I felt the weight of centuries settle on my shoulders like a cloak spun from memory and magic. The Map of the Bloodseer. I had heard of it in whispers—in forgotten tomes and fragmented chants. A myth, they claimed. A tale told by seers too old to trust and too mad to be believed. But it was real. Right in my hands, pulsing faintly with the tangled threads of fate itself. This could be the turning point in the war. Or a trap we were too desperate to ignore. I moved quickly through Grimhowl’s stone halls, ducking into the small chamber I’d claimed as my study. Candles flared to life with a flick of my fingers. Runes on the walls shimmered, reacting to the old magic now saturating the space. I laid the map out carefully across the old table, heart pounding not with fear—but with urgency. Because this time, it was personal. My hands hovered over the parchment, and I whispered an incan
Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 128: The Bloodseer’s Map
CAUIS I stood at the head of the hall, my hand resting lightly on the back of Lira’s chair, listening to Ronan speak. His voice echoed just enough to remind us all why we were really here. "Alright, as beautiful as all these long-lost family moments are,” Ronan began, flashing a small grin, “we didn’t come back just to cry and sniff each other’s hair.” A few chuckles rumbled through the hall—Kora rolled her eyes, Seraphina smirked into her cup, and even Tobias cracked a grin. But I could feel the shift in Ronan’s tone even before the humor faded from his face. “We come bearing news from the Village of Enomenos,” he said. Just like that, the air changed. I straightened. “Then we need to meet. We’ll keep this here brief and move to the war room.” “Thoren, Tobias, you and your daughters stay,” I added, catching my mate’s gaze and brushing my fingers across her hand. “You deserve the time to catch up.” “But unfortunately for Elias,” Ronan smirked over his should
Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 127: The Scent of Fate
ELIAS The warmth of the dining hall clashed with the tension humming beneath my skin. We’d only just returned—Thoren, Ronan, Kora, and I—bringing news from the nearby village. We hadn’t been gone long, but in war, every hour stretched thin. Every moment was weighted. And yet, in the middle of it all, I found myself rooted in place—not by dread, not by urgency—but by a scent. I froze near the entrance, my breath catching. It drifted through the air, cutting through the aromas of roasted meat, earth, and fire. This scent was different. Unmistakable. Fresh rain on wildflowers. Sweet… and wild. Mate. My head snapped toward the far end of the hall. And that’s when I saw her. She stood beside Dain, half-shielded by the curve of his arm. Her gaze was already on me. Wide-eyed. Curious. Like she felt it too. No—she knew. The world narrowed. Sounds dimmed. I took a step forward before I even realized I was moving. My heart thundered in my chest as I closed
Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 126: What Remains of Valenwood
SERAPHINA The warmth of familiar arms still lingered on my skin. I was wrapped in it—reunion, laughter, tears. The scent of my mother, the comforting cadence of Tobias’s voice, even Morgana’s sharp, dry wit—it all created a fragile kind of joy, stitched together by disbelief. I was home. Somehow. Even though the walls were different, the ground colder, and the people scarred by what had come before, I was here. After so long, I let myself breathe again. Because suddenly, something cold twisted in my gut. My father. The joy faded from my face like ash on the wind. I turned sharply, searching the faces around me—Tobias, Morgana, Dain. Dain. He stood near the fire, his arms crossed, face half-cast in shadow. “Dain,” I said, stepping forward. “Valenwood… what happened to it? Where’s my father? Is he still—” I couldn’t finish the question. My voice cracked, and the unspoken horrors hung between us like smoke. His jaw tightened, lips pressing into a thin l
Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 125: The Two-Souled Truth
THOREN Ysara’s words clung to the air like a spell. “Yes, I am a Bloodseer, and only few of us are left. I’m the only one in Enomenos. We are not simply part witch and part wolf—we are two complete souls living as one. One soul bound to the craft of magic, the other to the wildness of the wolf. Balanced. Powerful. But vulnerable to corruption. And once turned, a Bloodseer becomes the perfect servant of darkness.” Her voice held both strength and sorrow. For all her wisdom, there was weight behind every word—weight that had settled into her bones from carrying the burden of truth for far too long. Her gaze drifted across the room, landing briefly on Kora, then Ronan, and finally me. “That is why I remain hidden,” she continued. “I'd rather die righteous than live twisted. But these people…” she gestured subtly to the villagers gathered in the shadows, “they need me. So I walk a thin edge.”I swallowed hard, the scent of smoke and ancient herbs thick in the cavern air. The fir
Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 124: Secrets of the Stone Caves
THOREN The girl’s name was Elianna. A quiet strength pulsed in her steps as she led us deeper into the woods, through a narrow trail flanked by thick underbrush and twisting roots that reached like hands from the forest floor. The silence of the village had followed us, replaced now by the occasional crackle of twigs and the distant hoot of an owl, despite the sun still shining overhead. Ronan walked close, eyes scanning the shadows. Elias brought up the rear, her steps light but cautious, her hand never far from the hilt of her dagger. The rest of our warriors followed closely behind. Eventually, Elianna paused in front of a large outcropping of moss-covered stone. She placed her hand on its surface, whispering something in a tongue I didn’t recognize. The stone shimmered, then split down the center with a soft groan, revealing a narrow entrance, just large enough for one person at a time to slip through. "After you," she said, offering a small smile. Inside, the passage wa
Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 123: The Silence of Enoménos
THOREN The dirt path that led away from Grimhowl wound like a lazy river through the thick woodland, eventually opening up to reveal a sight that should’ve brought comfort—quaint homes, flowering vines curling over wooden fences, laundry lines swaying gently in the breeze. But as we stepped past the old stone sign that marked the village of Enoménos, unease settled heavily over my shoulders. It was too quiet. Not the peaceful kind of quiet, the kind you find in a small village taking an afternoon nap. No birds, no dogs barking in the distance, no chatter of children or clang of pots in kitchens. Just... nothing. Ronan, walking beside me, scanned the rooftops with narrowed eyes. His fingers flexed at his sides, brushing the hilt of his blade. “This place is dead,” he muttered.“No,” Elias said behind us, his voice low. “It’s not dead. It’s hiding.” He wasn’t wrong. The village wasn’t destroyed. There were no signs of struggle—no broken doors, no burn marks or blood on t
Alpha's Eclipse Chapter 122: The Wind Beyond the Walls
CAIUSI stood near the edge of the dining hall, leaning slightly against one of the carved wooden beams, my arms folded across my chest. Around me, the low hum of conversation continued—tearful reunions, long-overdue laughter, names spoken with awe and reverence. But I only had eyes for her.Lira.She was glowing in a way I hadn’t seen before. There was a joy on her face so radiant, so fiercely pure, that even Fenrir stirred inside me, watching her through my eyes with silentreverence. I felt it—the happiness that surged through her like warm spring water after a long frost. A daughter was finally reunited with her mother. A family mended after years of silence and pain.And yet, underneath that joy, I felt her sorrow too. A quiet grief pulsed in her chest, one that clung to the edges of her smile. Her heart ached for Deanna, for Elowen, for the twenty years robbed from them. Lira’s empathy ran so deep that it swallowed everything. The walls of her heart had never been built to keep
