The Trap Revealed

Author: Alyssa H.
(Nathan's POV)

The abandoned hunting lodge on the outskirts of Central Territory felt like a perfect sanctuary for my rage. Away from prying eyes and listening ears, I could finally drop the mask of the caring, supportive friend I'd worn for so long.

I paced across the rough wooden floor, my boots echoing in the empty space. Each step matched the rhythm of my fury as I glared at Lyra Riverwind, who sat hunched in a rickety chair near the cold fireplace.

My hands clenched into fists. Two years of careful planning. Two years of patient manipulation. All of it threatened by one stupid mistake.

"You were supposed to maintain your position in the Riverwind pack," I snarled, my voice cutting through the silence like a blade. "Instead, you've managed to expose everything because you couldn't handle the discovery of her true parentage."

Lyra flinched at my tone, her hands trembling in her lap. Gone was the confident young woman who had convinced Yvette Riverwind that she was her long-lost

  • Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left   New Beginnings

    (Audrey's POV)The morning sun filtered through the delicate lace curtains of my new bedroom, casting dancing patterns across the polished wooden floors. Three months had passed since Nathan's trial, and I still sometimes couldn't believe this was real.This territory den belonged to me now. To my mother and me.I stood at the window overlooking our private garden, watching the early morning light illuminate the carefully tended flower beds and stone pathways. Yvette had worked with the territory architects to create something truly special - a home that honored both our individual needs and our newfound relationship as mother and daughter.The healing wing where I conducted my practice sessions was modern and efficient, equipped with the finest werewolf medical technology available. But the main living areas retained traditional pack elements that made Yvette comfortable when she entertained her political contacts.For the first time in my life, I truly felt like I had a family h

  • Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left   Justice Served

    (Third-Person POV)The Pack Council's grand courtroom had never seen such a momentous trial. Carved stone walls that had witnessed centuries of werewolf justice seemed to lean inward, as if the very building understood the gravity of what was unfolding within.Nathan Snowfang sat in the defendant's chair, silver restraints gleaming around his wrists and ankles. His blue eyes, once warm with false affection, now burned with unrepentant obsession. He showed no shame, no remorse for the destruction he had caused.The evidence against him was overwhelming. Communication logs detailing his manipulation schemes covered three large tables. Testimony from victims stretched across days of proceedings. Text messages, financial records, medical falsifications - every piece of Nathan's carefully constructed web of lies was laid bare for the court to examine."The defendant orchestrated a systematic campaign of psychological manipulation spanning multiple years," the prosecutor declared, his vo

  • Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left   Aftermath

    (Yvette's POV)The sterile scent of wolfsbane and healing herbs filled the Wolf Medical Center's waiting area. I paced the polished floors like a caged animal, my heart hammering against my ribs with each passing minute.My daughter was somewhere behind those heavy doors. My child, who I had searched for relentlessly for over two decades, was being treated for injuries sustained in a battle that should never have happened.The thought of losing her again, so soon after our reunion, made my wolf howl with anguish."Luna Riverwind?" A healer in pristine white robes emerged from the treatment area. "Your daughter is stable. Minor silver burns on her wrists and some bruising, but nothing that won't heal completely."Relief flooded through me so powerfully that I had to grip the nearest chair to keep from collapsing. "Can I see her?""Of course. She's in room three with Alpha Stormhowl."I rushed down the hallway, my elegant heels clicking urgently against the tiles. Through the part

  • Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left   Sacrifice and Sorrow

    (Arthur's POV)The cold stone floor of the lodge pressed against my back like a grave marker. I could feel the silver burning through my chest with each labored breath, spreading its poison through my bloodstream like liquid fire.Six holes. Six pieces of silver embedded in my torso. Each one designed to kill werewolves efficiently.But I wasn't thinking about the pain. I wasn't thinking about death approaching on silent paws. All I could see was Audrey's face above me, her emerald eyes wide with shock and terror.The irony wasn't lost on me. For three years, I had tried to control her, possess her, bend her to my will. And now, in my final moments, I was finally doing something purely selfless for her."Audrey," I gasped, reaching toward her with a hand that felt impossibly heavy. "I'm sorry... for everything."My voice came out as barely a whisper. Each word cost me precious breath I didn't have to spare. But these words needed to be said. They should have been said years ago.

  • Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left   Battle for Freedom

    (Audrey's POV)The world exploded around me in a cacophony of splintering wood and shattering glass.Both entrances to the lodge burst open simultaneously, and suddenly Florian and Arthur were there, moving like avenging angels through the chaos. Their coordinated assault caught Nathan's pack members completely off-guard."Get down!" Florian's voice cut through the air like a blade.I threw myself to the floor, rolling behind an overturned wooden table just as the first silver bullets began whistling through the air above my head. The acrid smell of gunpowder filled the lodge, mixing with the scent of fear and rage.Nathan's expression transformed in an instant. The smug confidence that had twisted his features moments before crumbled away, replaced by desperate fury and disbelief."Audrey, I underestimated your charms." He growled, turning to me with wild eyes." I can't believe you managed to get them to join forces, they're coming for you!"His hand disappeared into his jacket

    (Florian's POV)The moonlit forest around the hunting lodge felt like a battlefield waiting to explode. Every shadow could hide an enemy. Every sound could signal discovery or death.Arthur moved beside me with deadly precision. His massive form was surprisingly quiet for an Alpha of his size. Despite years of rivalry between us, we worked together like pack brothers who had trained for decades.Our shared determination to save Audrey had created something neither of us expected. Perfect synchronization. Perfect trust."Visual on the perimeter guards," Beta Kael's voice crackled through my earpiece. "Two at the main entrance. One patrolling the north side. All armed with silver weapons."I pressed against the trunk of an ancient pine. The rough bark bit through my tactical gear. Arthur crouched behind a boulder ten feet to my right. His dark eyes scanned the lodge's windows with laser focus."Any movement from inside?" I whispered into my comm."Thermal imaging shows six heat si
