CAIUS

By the time I returned to the Alpha mansion, the sun had already risen, casting long golden streaks across the snow-covered ground. The crisp morning air still carried the remnants of winter, but the approaching spring was evident in the way the frost slowly retreated beneath the sun’s growing warmth. Birds chirped faintly from the treetops, a soft melody that accompanied the gentle crunch of snow beneath my bare feet.

My body hummed with leftover energy from the run. Fenrir was unusually silent now, as though he too was digesting what we had felt—what we had become. A part of me wanted to call it a blessing, the natural result of a completed bond. But deep down, a whisper in the back of my mind reminded me it was something more. Something not meant to be awakened.

I ascended the grand staircase of the mansion, each step echoing through the still halls. The fourth floor was quiet, the soft light filtering through the tall windows casting shadows across the stone walls. My hand re

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 88 – The Shadow’s Warning

    LIRA The sun barely kissed the horizon when I stepped onto the training grounds. The morning air carried the scent of damp earth and pine, mingling with the faint crackle of magic in the air. I stood across from Ivy, her green eyes sharp with focus. The young witch had been training with Morgana for years, and though she was still learning, her magic was already formidable. “Again,” Morgana instructed, her voice calm but firm. I took a deep breath, feeling the energy surge through my veins. Ever since my first shift, the power within me had grown stronger. It was no longer a whisper but a steady pulse, waiting to be wielded. Ivy raised her hands, a soft golden light forming between her fingertips. “Ready?” I nodded. “Go.” She flicked her wrist, sending a pulse of energy toward me. I barely had time to react before the blast hit my shield, a shimmering barrier that flickered in and out as I struggled to maintain control. Morgana hummed. “Better. But still unstable.” I clenche

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 89 – Whispers of Caution

    LIRAThe sun was warm against my skin as we stepped out of the Alpha mansion, but even its golden light couldn’t ease the unease settling in my chest.It hadn’t just been a trick of the light. I had felt someone watching me, their presence thick and oppressive in the air. And then, just as quickly as I’d seen it, it had vanished. My wolf, Sylara, had bristled, urging me to remain on high alert, but there had been nothing—no scent, no lingering energy—just the eerie silence of the morning.I glanced at Caius beside me as we walked, his fingers brushing against mine as if sensing my tension.“You’re still thinking about it, aren’t you?” he murmured.I nodded. “I know what I saw, Caius. There was someone watching us.”His jaw tightened. “I don’t doubt you. But whoever it was, he disappeared before I could sense him. That’s what bothers me.”We took our time heading toward Morgana’s cottage, walking at a relaxed pace. The usual chatter surrounded us—Elias and Ronan discussing the best com

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 90 – The Full Moon Rises

    LIRAThe sun had barely set, but the entire pack was already buzzing with anticipation. Tonight was the full moon, the night Caius and I would finally complete our bond. I should have been excited—this was something I had dreamed of, something I wanted—but a strange unease settled deep in my chest, like a whisper of warning I couldn’t quite hear.Morgana, Ivy, and Kora were in my room, helping me prepare. The ceremonial dress I wore was a deep crimson, the fabric flowing around me like a river of blood—bold, untamed, and alive. It clung to my form like it knew me, fitted at the bodice with delicate embroidery that shimmered like flame when the light caught it. Intricate patterns of gold thread traced ancient runes across the sleeves and neckline, symbols of unity, strength, and fate. The skirt fanned out in layers of silk and velvet, trailing behind me like a royal shadow, commanding attention with every step.The color wasn’t just for show. It was symbolic—red for power, for passion,

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 91 – The Marking

    CAIUSThe full moon stood high above us, bathing the clearing in its silver glow. The night was still, the only sounds were the hushed breaths of the wolves surrounding us, waiting, watching. This was the moment we had been waiting for—the moment Lira and I would complete our bond.She stood before me, her crimson ceremonial dress shimmering in the moonlight, her eyes locked onto mine. A wave of possessiveness surged through me. This woman—this fierce, powerful Luna—was mine.Fenrir stirred within me, his voice filled with pride. Make her ours, Caius. The bond will be unbreakable.I took a step closer, my hand gently caressing Lira’s cheek before sliding down to her neck, feeling the rapid pulse beneath my fingers. She wasn’t afraid, but there was tension in her body—a mixture of anticipation and something else.I lowered my head, pressing my lips to her shoulder before whispering against her skin, “Are you ready?”Lira let out a soft breath, tilting her head slightly, baring her neck

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 92:The First Run as Mates

    LIRAThe night air was fresh, the scent of pine and damp earth filling my lungs as I steadied myself. The raw power coursing through my veins felt… different. Stronger. Wilder.I turned my head slightly, meeting Caius’ golden gaze. Something shifted between us—an unspoken understanding.Then, a voice brushed against my mind.'Lira?'I stiffened. My breath hitched.I could hear him.Not just sense him through the bond. I could hear his voice inside my head.Caius’ brows furrowed, his head tilting slightly. 'Can you hear me? Can you hear my thoughts?'I swallowed hard, pressing a hand to my chest where his mark rested against my skin. 'Yes. I can.'Warmth surged through me—his emotions spilling into mine like a tide. I felt his relief, his joy, his steady love.'We are one now,' he said softly, through the bond.I gasped as another wave of sensation hit—his calm, his strength… and underneath, the way his heart beat for me.“I can feel you,” I whispered aloud, though we no longer needed

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 93: The Warning

    CAIUSThe forest was alive with the sound of paws thundering against the earth, the crisp night air carrying our howls through the trees. I had never felt this powerful before—not just physically, but in every sense of the word. Marking Lira had completed something within me, something primal, something ancient.Fenrir ran beside Sylara, our wolves moving in perfect unison. I could feel Lira’s exhilaration through our bond, her wild joy as she embraced her newfound strength.'You’re incredible,' I told her through the link, feeling a swell of pride.'You’re not so bad yourself, Alpha,' she teased back.I growled playfully, nipping at her flank before she sped up, laughing in the way only wolves could. The entire pack followed behind us, their energy electrified by the full moon, by the ceremony, by the thrill of the night.Then, a voice cut through the rush of wind.'Fenrir. Bring Sylara here. Now.'Sylara slowed beside me, her ears twitching as she turned to meet my gaze.'Did you he

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 94: The Presence in the Dark

    LIRA The air was thick with tension, every breath laced with the weight of what Morgana had just revealed. The Dark Lord was here. Watching. Waiting.I could feel Caius through our bond, his fury a simmering storm barely restrained. Sylara shared his rage, our wolf ready to fight if it came to that. But Morgana’s voice was clear—not yet.Then, from the distance, the sound of pounding paws echoed through the trees. The pack was closing in, returning from the run, unaware of what had just unfolded.Morgana acted fast. She whispered an incantation, her fingers tracing a sigil in the air. A soft shimmer surrounded her, and in the next second, she vanished from sight.“Ease up,” her voice floated through the air. “If you look on edge, they’ll sense something is wrong.”Caius exhaled sharply, forcing Fenrir to relax his stance. I followed his lead, though every instinct in me screamed to stay alert.Are you sure this is the best way? I asked, my voice laced with concern.“We can’t let the

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 95: The Calm Before the Storm

    LIRAThe atmosphere inside the Alpha mansion buzzed with energy. The grand hall was alive with laughter, the clinking of glasses, and the rhythmic beat of drums as the pack celebrated. The scent of roasted meat and freshly baked bread filled the air, mingling with the familiar smell of my packmates. This was a night of unity, a moment of triumph.I stood beside Caius, his warm hand resting possessively on my waist. Everywhere I turned, I was met with smiles and words of congratulations. It was overwhelming yet heartwarming.“Luna,” Elias grinned as he approached, holding out a goblet. “You look like you need a drink.”I chuckled, accepting the cup. “That obvious?”Ronan appeared beside him, his golden eyes gleaming with mischief. “You marked each other. Officially mated. What did you expect? The pack has been waiting for this moment for months.”Caius let out a low chuckle. “Let them celebrate. Tonight is a night of joy.”Kora suddenly threw her arms around me, squeezing me tightly. “

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 132: A Light for the Shadowed Soul

    MORGANAThe scent of rosemary and dried bloodroot clung to my robes as I pored over the fifth tome of the morning. My fingers trembled—not from age, but from urgency. It had been two days since we discovered the truth.Two days since I learned that Malakar had not merely touched Caius’ mind… but had laced himself into his very shadow.A tether. A slow poison.A curse older than most witches alive today.I hadn’t slept. The fire in my chamber barely flickered anymore, kept alive only by the pulse of my magic and the constant rustling of pages. On the table before me, scrolls lay scattered, ink smudged by my hurried notes. I’d summoned wind spirits for answers. Brewed insight draughts. Called on the ancestors through the Oracle’s Mirror.Nothing had given me what I needed.Because this was no ordinary corruption. Malakar wasn’t just feeding off Caius—he was waiting. Waiting for the right moment to seize full control.And that moment was drawing near.Caius hadn't said much in the last t

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 131: The Shadow Beneath

    CAUISWe scoured the halls until our feet ached and our patience thinned.Every wall, every crack, every space in the packhouse was searched—twice. The talismans Ysara gave us were sensitive, humming lightly in our palms whenever they neared even the faintest trace of cursed energy. But for hours, they offered nothing but silence.Until Kora stopped dead in her tracks."Wait… the old stone hearth," she said, her voice sharp with realization. "The one in the original east wing kitchen. No one uses it anymore, but it's still there."The east wing. Of course.No one cooked there now. The kitchens had been rebuilt on the other side after the fire years ago. But the room remained accessible—used occasionally for storage, sometimes by pups playing hide-and-seek. A forgotten relic of our home’s past.And the perfect place to hide something no one was meant to find.We rushed to the hearth, the talismans growing heavier with each step.As soon as we crossed the threshold, the symbols on the 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

    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

    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
