The door clicked shut behind Jace.

Rayne didn’t move.

She stayed in the cooling water, arms tight around herself, breath trembling in her throat. Her mind spun too fast to keep up—racing through a thousand possibilities, every memory of every moment she could’ve slipped, could’ve been seen.

And now she had been.

Seen. Exposed. Vulnerable.

She hated that word.

It wasn’t supposed to be her. Vulnerable was weak. Vulnerable got you killed. She’d spent years becoming anything but that. She trained harder. Ran faster. Learned quicker. She broke herself into someone new—someone worthy.

And in two seconds, with one wrong lock and one dumb bath, it all unraveled.

She wanted to scream.

But she didn’t.

Instead, she stood. Toweled off. Dressed quickly in the spare uniform she always kept tucked away in the back cubby of the locker room.

Her hands trembled the entire time.

Not from fear—but from fury. From the ache of knowing she no longer had full control of the game she was playing.

And now Jace

    Rayne’s heart thundered at Cain's words.“Then we make another exit.” She turned toward the nearest stairwell leading up along the outer wall. The higher they went, the more they could see—the entire Ironfang fortress sprawled below them, a sea of armored wolves converging on their position.They burst onto the battlements, the wind slapping cold against their faces. From here, the forest stretched endlessly beyond the cliff’s edge. But between them and freedom lay a gauntlet of soldiers.The first wave came fast—four guards in tight formation. Rayne met them head-on, blades ringing as she parried, ducked, and countered. Cain fought beside her, a whirlwind of claws and steel, his growl rumbling in her bones.More poured from the towers.“We’re boxed in!” Cain shouted.Rayne’s back hit the parapet. Her eyes darted over the edge—she could almost taste the forest air, but the drop was lethal without a clear path down. The wolves closed in, their breath misting in the cold night.“Rayne V

    Xavier’s eyes darkened as he stepped closer, his voice dripping with that cold, deliberate arrogance that made Rayne's stomach twist.Her chains clinked between them, but she didn’t back up. If he thought she was prey, he was about to learn the hard way that she’d grown sharper claws.He reached for her face, but she turned sharply, his fingers brushing air.“You’ve always had fight in you,” he murmured, almost amused.“And you’ve always had delusions,” she shot back.Something dangerous flashed in his expression. He grabbed her arm, yanking her forward, the force making the chain dig into her wrists. “You will learn to—”She moved before he could finish. Her head snapped forward, slamming into his nose with a sickening crunch.Xavier cursed, stumbling back with a snarl, blood already dripping down his face.Rayne didn’t waste a second. She swung the chain still binding her wrists like a whip, cracking it across his jaw. He staggered, the edge of the war table catching his hip.The fi

    The Ironfang guards came for her before dawn.Rayne was half-asleep on the cold stone floor when the sound of bootsteps thundered down the corridor, heavy and purposeful. Her instincts jolted her awake. She was on her feet before the torchlight even reached her cell door.The key turned in the lock with a metallic scrape. Two guards stepped in—both big, broad-shouldered wolves with the black-and-silver armbands of Xavier’s personal sentinels.“On your feet,” one of them barked.Rayne’s eyes narrowed. “Where are you taking me?”Neither answered. The first guard grabbed her by the arm, the iron cuff biting into her skin as he yanked her forward. Her wrists were still bound by the heavy chain, the short length of it forcing her to keep her hands close together. The second guard gripped her other arm, and between them they dragged her out into the corridor.Cain, still in his cell, stepped forward and gripped the bars. “Rayne—”She didn’t look at him. “Save your breath.”The guards shoved

    The Ironfang prison was a place built for despair.The air was damp and metallic, carrying the scent of rust and blood. The stone walls sweated in the dim torchlight, and every sound—a footstep, a cough, a clink of a chain—echoed far too loudly.Rayne sat with her back to the wall, legs drawn in, hands chained but free enough to move. Her mind had been running in circles for days, replaying how Cain had betrayed their pack. Every time she thought the rage might settle, it flared hotter.Across from her, in his own cell, Cain sat on the floor with his head lowered. His black hair fell forward, obscuring most of his face. He hadn’t spoken much since he’d been thrown in here, but his silence didn’t earn him mercy in her eyes.“You should have told them to kill me outright,” Rayne said finally, her voice flat. “It would have been cleaner.”Cain didn’t look up. “I didn’t bring you here to die.”Rayne laughed without humor. “You delivered me into their hands. Do you think they’ll just… keep

    The Eastern Highlands was no longer quiet.From the moment the warning had been sounded, the fortress-city stirred like a great beast waking from slumber. The clang of the blacksmith’s hammer rang in steady rhythm from the lower yards, turning raw steel into the spears, swords, and arrowheads the pack would soon need. The scent of oil and leather hung heavy as armorers fitted warriors with reinforced chest plates and bracers.Lucian Wolfe stalked the training yard like a shadow, watching his wolves drill. His voice cut through the cool morning air, sharp and commanding.“Again! You think Rurik will give you the chance to catch your breath? Drive your blade deeper, move faster—your opponent isn’t going to wait for you to think about your next move!”The warriors obeyed, sweat dripping, their bodies moving with relentless precision. Even the young, untested fighters were put through the motions; in war, there was no time to coddle.Up on the battlements, lookouts scanned the distant tre

  • Alpha's Hidden Luna   Chapter Ninety: Storm On The Horizon

    The war room of the Eastern Highlands was silent now. The council had long since dispersed, the heavy oak doors closed, leaving Lucian Wolfe alone with the faint flicker of torchlight and the faint scent of pine smoke curling from the hearth.The stillness did nothing to quiet his mind.He stood at the long table, palms braced against the scarred wood, staring down at the map of the Eastern Territories. His gaze wasn’t on the Highlands. It wasn’t on the rivers or the marked patrol routes. It was fixed on the stretch of land that had once been Valen territory—now marked in crimson ink by his cartographers, the color of enemy occupation.Rayne Valen’s territory.Rayne.The name curled in his mind like smoke he couldn’t chase away. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw her—not the girl she’d been at Blackmoon Academy, disguised and defiant, but the woman had become. A leader in her own right.The memory of the way she had looked at him in their last meeting also came unbidden. Guarded bu
