Elvira

I barely slept that night. The relic sat heavy in my palm, it's cold metal biting against my skin. When dawn barely crept through my window, I found myself unable to hold the silence anymore. I had to tell Jaxon.

I found him in the great hall, leaning against the stone archway like he was carved from it himself. His dark eyes caught mine, sharp with concern.

“Jaxon,” I said, my voice trembling more than I wanted. “I need to show you something.”

He straightened, knitting his brows. “Elvira? What’s going on?”

I swallowed, heart pounding so loud I was sure he could hear it. “It’s about the relic. Last night, when I touched it… I saw something. I heard something.”

He stepped closer, eyes narrowing, studying me like I’d suddenly become fragile glass.

“Tell me,” he urged, voice low.

I lifted the relic from beneath my shirt. “I had a vision. A memory, or maybe it was a warning. It was my mother’s voice, angelic, but filled with urgency. She spoke about my bloodline. About me b

  • Alpha’s Moonchild   Chapter 126

    Jaxon I’ve never liked the taste of blood in my mouth, especially when I’m angry. But when I crushed the glass in my palm, I didn’t flinch. Pain was a good distraction from betrayal. I stared at the shards embedded in my skin, blood trickling between my fingers and onto the polished obsidian table in the private room of the Pack Tower. Talon flinched, but the pack detective opposite us didn’t even blink. He’d seen worse. “You sure you want me to keep going?” He asked, gesturing to the blood dripping down my wrist. “I didn’t ask for your concern,” I said, voice flat. Talon stood from the corner, grabbing a cloth and pressing it into my hand with a sigh. “You’re hurting yourself.” The detective’s lips curled just slightly, like he was trying to suppress the satisfaction of being the bearer of this chaos. “I wouldn’t be here if this wasn’t critical. Believe me, I held off on this as long as I could. But it’s gone too far.” I waved my hand, urging him on. The man reached into the

    Elvira I didn’t plan to be there. It started with a whisper in the library, a passing reference to a confidential report about Blood Moon movements in the west sector. Callan's name was now the head of discussions for patrollers. My heart stuttered. My instincts dragged me to the quiet corner of Pack Tower’s lower west wing, an annex that doubled as a liaison space for inter-pack relations and intelligence exchanges. It wasn’t a place I frequented. I saw the door crack before I heard the voices. “—Still no confirmation if the Blood Moon son in-law is active, but surveillance confirms Deric Voss has met with Verya twice, once at the hotel, and again near the human border. He’s either a fool, or he’s helping her.” My blood turned to slush. I pressed myself against the wall just outside the threshold, barely breathing. My skin prickled like it knew something my mind hadn’t caught up with. Deric? Meeting humans? And then that name. Verya. A thick shuffle of paper broke the silenc

    Deric’s POV The invitation came unexpectedly, an elegant card sealed with a deep crimson wax stamp, embossed with a regal crest I recognized immediately. Lord Mathias Vale. He’d been my father’s closest confidant once, but after my father’s fall from grace, Mathias had disappeared on us, or so I thought. Why now? Why summon me? “Join me at my estate this Friday evening,” the card said, “for an exclusive gathering. There’s much to discuss.” I stared at it for a long time, fingers curling around the edges, weighing the risks. The thought of sitting across from Mathias made my gut twist, not just because of his influence but because I’d be covering for my father, stepping into a world I only half understood. Still, I couldn’t refuse. …. The estate was a big mansion perched on a hill, all sharp angles and iron gates, lit by flickering torches that threw long, sinister shadows. As I approached, the heavy oak doors swung open with a quiet creak, and a sharply dressed butler greeted me

    Deric The sheets still smelled like Ava, warm, faintly sweet with a hint of something floral she always wore. The warmth of Ava pressed against me was a comfort I hadn’t realized I’d craved so badly. We lay tangled in the sheets, breath still mingling after the kind of intimacy that leaves your skin tingling and your heart stubbornly full. Her fingers traced lazy circles on my chest as I tried to steady the erratic beat in my chest. “I learned some new tricks,” she murmured, voice thick with that sultry, slightly tipsy that made my stomach flip. “You’ve got to come out with me tonight. You have to see them, drunk Ava style.” I laughed softly, pulling her closer until her head rested on my shoulder. “Drunk Ava is a whole new level of dangerous, huh?” She smirked, eyes sparkling with mischief. “Dangerous, yes. Freaky, absolutely.” Her grin was infectious, the kind that made you forget everything else for a second. I should’ve been exhausted, but the idea of losing ourselves to musi

    Elvira I woke up with my throat dry and a weight pressing against my chest, not from a nightmare, but something real. I swung my legs off the bed and padded across the cold floor to my desk, where the relic sat. Even in the dim light, the silver crest shined faintly, as if it were alive. I hadn’t meant to bring it with me, but… I couldn’t leave it behind either. It called something in me. And that confused me more than ever. I stared at the etched sigil, it was beautiful, ancient, and wrongfully familiar. Jaxon had mentioned the possessor’s name earlier. Liora, my mother’s name. Coincidence, I had told myself. People shared names all the time. But still… I reached for the relic, my fingers trembling. The moment my skin brushed the crest, something inside me clicked. A lock turning, a door opening. And then I heard it. “Elvira, I guess you already found out. You are more than they told you. Carry on my legacy, the next Alpha Queen.” My breath hitched. That voice, soft, melodic
