Alpha's Hidden Luna Chapter Seventy Four: An Unfriendly Visit
Alpha Rayne stood at the head, her arms folded tightly across her chest, her gaze fixed on Garran. She blinked, straightening. “A visitor? Who?”He shifted awkwardly. “He says his name is Jace Moren.”The world stilled.Rayne’s entire frame tensed. The name felt like a scar reopened. Memories she’d worked years to bury came rushing back—of stolen moments in candle-lit dorm rooms, whispered dreams of freedom and leadership, a promise made under the moon… and a betrayal that had nearly destroyed her.“No,” she said flatly. “Tell him to leave.”Garran hesitated. “Alpha… he looks half-dead. Starved, bruised. He came alone. He’s not armed.”Rayne’s eyes narrowed. “He still betrayed me.”“I know,” Garran said quietly. “But… you might want to see this for yourself.”---Rayne waited in the war room, her arms folded, her face carved from stone. The tall double doors creaked open, and Jace Moren stepped into the room.He looked nothing like the boy she'd once trusted with her life.His dark h
Alpha's Hidden Luna Chapter Seventy Three: The Wolfe's Heart
The morning was gray and overcast in the Eastern Highlands—clouds hanging low over the cliffs like a warning. The wind howled through the windows of the Alpha’s private quarters in the Wolfe estate, yet inside, the silence was even more deafening.Lucian stood at the edge of his bedroom, facing the balcony that overlooked his sprawling territory. His hands were clenched at his sides, his jaw tight as the storm within him mirrored the one brewing outside. He had made up his mind. The bond between him and Seraphine had to be severed.It was the final chain.A chain forged by duty, not love.And maybe... just maybe, Rayne could consider giving their relationship a chance.A knock sounded—soft, almost hesitant—before the door creaked open.Seraphine entered with practiced grace, wrapped in a deep violet robe that clung to her figure. Her long blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders like a river of gold. She looked effortlessly perfect, regal even—but Lucian barely turned to acknowledge he
Alpha's Hidden Luna Chapter Seventy Two: Unfinished Business
In a smoky underground tavern carved into the side of a jagged ridge, the air reeked of sweat, blood, and spiced liquor. A fight had just ended—judging by the broken table and the blood on the walls—and the victor now sat in the corner booth, flanked by his men and nursing a cut across his cheek like a war medal.Xavier leaned back into the cracked leather seat, golden eyes gleaming in the dim light as he lit a cigar. His knuckles were bruised, his jaw tense. Beside him, Kade his best friend and right hand man, poured whiskey into two chipped glasses, his expression unreadable.A scout burst into the tavern, breathless, eyes wide.“You’re not going to believe what I just heard.”Xavier didn’t flinch. “Try me.”The scout licked his lips. “Valen territory has a new Alpha. Rayne Valen.”The silence that followed was thunderous.Xavier’s cigar slipped between his fingers and fell to the floor. He didn’t notice.Kade sat up straighter. “That’s impossible. She was banished.”“Banished, yes,
Alpha's Hidden Luna Chapter Seventy One: Oaths And Shackles
Alpha Lucian Wolfe dismounted his stallion at the base of the great steps of the Eastern highlands, the wind tearing at his cloak. His men stood at attention, silent, their faces unreadable as the Alpha returned from his unauthorized absence.He had left for the Valen territory without council approval. Without Seraphine's consent. And now, he returned bearing truths that would change everything.He still had a bitter-sweet taste feeling from his visit. Rayne had referred to their relationship as a curse, and there was no certainty things would work out between them, but he was ready to give it a fair shot. And the first and most important step is...severing his bond with Seraphine.Lucian pushed through the arched doors of the main hall, his presence commanding as he strode past the guards and servants. His Beta, waited at the top of the steps—his expression tense.“They’ve been waiting, Alpha. The Elders… your Luna too.”Lucian gave a nod. “Let them wait no more.”He entered the Hig
Alpha's Hidden Luna Chapter Seventy: Ashes Between Us
The door shut with a heavy thud, silencing the storm she’d left behind.Rayne Valen stood alone in her chambers, her breath shallow, her heart hammering like war drums in her chest. The fire had long since died out. The hearth was cold. Her hands trembled—but not from fear.From fury.From heartbreak.From the way Lucian had looked at her when she said their relationship was complicated.She hadn’t meant to humiliate him. Or herself.But what was she supposed to say? That she still loved him? That her nights were haunted by memories of him? That despite all her strength, she still ached for the one thing she could never truly have?No.She was Alpha of Valen. And Lucian was not hers.The door creaked open behind her.She didn’t need to turn to know it was him.Lucian closed the door slowly, then leaned his back against it, his arms folded, gaze heavy on her. The silence between them stretched like a taut wire—ready to snap.“You didn’t have to say it like that,” he said quietly.Rayne
Alpha's Hidden Luna Chapter Sixty Nine: The Verdict of Wolves
Morning sun streamed through the canopy of Rayne's bed. The fire had died down to glowing embers, the air kissed with the scent of ash, musk… and Lucian.Rayne stirred, warmth still lingering on her skin from the night before—their first night in five years, not as strangers, but as lovers again. Her hand reached across the fur-strewn bed, only to find cool linens where he should have been.Gone.She blinked the sleep from her eyes, rising with a soft groan. The room was still cloaked in silence, but something felt off. She dressed quickly, tugging her cloak over her shoulders, and stepped into the hall—where Garran was already waiting, arms crossed, jaw clenched.“You’re late,” he said grimly.“For what?”“The council summoned an emergency meeting… Lucian’s already there. With Cain.”Rayne’s blood ran cold. She didn’t wait for another word. She moved fast, heart thundering in her chest, boots echoing through the stone corridor.Lucian Wolfe stood like a dark sentinel at the center o
