Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 82: THE ROAD TO BLACK PEAK II
The forest pressed close around us. That wrongness in the air. That sense of being watched.Twenty-five days of carrying this weight. Of loving him and hating him and needing him and resenting that need. Of understanding why he'd done what he'd done and still feeling the scar of it.Twenty-five days of telling myself forgiveness was weakness.And now we were forty miles from a vampire fortress. Possibly hours from death. Moving toward an impossible mission to rescue the child we'd made together.The child we'd raised apart because he'd been too afraid to trust me with the truth.The child who called for me.Who also called for his papa.Who deserved parents who were whole. Who weren't carrying five years of open wounds into a fight that needed everything they had."If I don't forgive you," I said quietly, "I'll carry it into that fortress. And it'll slow me down. Make me hesitate. Keep me from trusting you when trusting you might be the only thing that saves Soren."Darius said nothin
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 81: THE ROAD TO BLACK PEAK I
Rhiannon's POVWe left at midnight.No ceremony. No speeches. No tearful goodbyes from the pack.Just five people slipping into darkness, moving north toward the Carpathians.Thorne watched us leave from the packhouse steps. Arms crossed. Expression unreadable. He'd spent the entire final day arguing against the mission, cataloguing every way it could go wrong.Then spent that same evening sharpening our weapons personally.That was Thorne.Cade said nothing. Just gripped my shoulder once, briefly, before stepping back."Bring him home," he said."I will."Marcus led us out. Then Sera. Then Nyx. Then me.Darius fell into step beside me as Crescent Moon disappeared behind the tree line.Neither of us spoke.The first hour was silence.We moved fast. Forest floor soft underfoot. No moon yet — it would rise later, around three in the morning, giving us a window of true darkness to approach the mountain unseen.I focused on breathing. On moving quietly. On saving energy for what waited at
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 80: WORKING TOGETHER II
Darius's POVThe afternoon training session was different.Quieter. More focused.We fought, but not aggressively. Practiced movements we'd need. Rehearsed scenarios we might face.Two Bloodletters attacking from different angles. Three surrounding us. Finding Soren traumatized and frozen.Every possibility we could imagine.And through it all—connection.The bond singing between us. Not just magic. Not just survival.Understanding. Trust. Partnership.I caught her mid-strike. She twisted. Used my grip to launch herself over my shoulder.Landed. Spun. Her claws stopping inches from my throat.Perfect synchronization."Good," I said."Not good enough." But her eyes were bright. Satisfied.We went again.Again.By the time the sun set, we'd run through every scenario three times."Enough," I said finally. "You're exhausted. We both are."She didn't argue this time.We walked to the edge of the training yard. Sat on the stone wall overlooking the pack lands.Crescent Moon spread below us
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 79: WORKING TOGETHER
Darius's POVDay thirteen.Forty-eight hours until departure.The final war council convened at noon. Everyone looked exhausted. Rhiannon most of all—she'd slept six hours but it wasn't enough. Not after pushing herself to smoke form repeatedly throughout the night.But her eyes were clear. Focused."The letter goes out today," Nyx said, sliding the final draft across the table. "Formal request for negotiation. Offering Rhiannon in exchange for Soren. Arrival time: dawn, day fifteen. Main gate.""While we actually arrive the night before," Sera said. "Eastern slope. Service tunnel. Break the seal while Malachar's forces are positioned for morning arrival.""Timing is critical," Marcus added. "We need at least four hours inside the fortress to find Soren, extract him, and escape before dawn when they expect us at the gate.""Four hours in a vampire fortress," Thorne said. He'd been silent until now. "With nine Bloodletters and who knows what other defenses. You'll be lucky to survive f
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 78: BREAKING THROUGH II
Rhiannon's POVThat evening, in the empty training yard under a half moon, I stood facing the impossible."How do I do this?" I asked.Nyx had joined us. Sera too. Both watching. Both ready to intervene if things went wrong."Smoke form isn't like the others," Nyx said. "It's not a physical transformation. It's a dissolution. You stop being solid and become... essence.""That's not helpful.""It's the truth." She moved closer. "When you achieved it before, what did it feel like?"I remembered.The grief. The rage. The absolute devastation of losing Soren.My body hadn't just transformed. It had... let go. Stopped being flesh and bone and become something else entirely."It felt like dying," I said quietly."Because it is. Temporarily." Nyx's voice was gentle. "You die to flesh. Become spirit. Then return. It's terrifying. But it's also the purest expression of Chimera magic.""How do I trigger it?""You don't. You allow it." She gestured for me to sit. "Meditation first. Find the plac
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 77: BREAKING THROUGH
Rhiannon's POVDay twelve.I woke before dawn. Body aching from yesterday's training. The bond humming quietly in the back of my mind—constant now, no longer flickering.Darius was already awake. I could feel him through the connection. Worried. Determined. Awake in his own quarters thinking about the mission.Three days.I pushed the bond awareness aside. Dressed. Headed to the training yard.Nyx was already there."You're early," she said."Can't sleep.""Neither can half the pack. Word's spread about the rescue." She gestured to the empty yard. "They're giving you space. Watching from windows. Hoping.""No pressure then.""None at all." She smiled slightly. "Show me what you accomplished last night."I closed my eyes. Reached for the wolf.It came easier than before. Like the form was waiting just beneath my skin instead of buried deep.I shifted.Silver wolf. Complete. Whole.Held it for forty-five seconds before exhaustion hit.Shifted back."Better," Nyx said. "But still not eno
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 61: SMOKE AND ASH 2
The Female Bloodletter's POVThe smoke form was legend. Myth. A theoretical transformation that maybe three Chimeras in recorded history had achieved, and all of them had been ancient when they'd done it. Centuries old. Masters of their power.The Phantom was thirty at most. She shouldn't have acce

Rhiannon's POVThen Darius was there, massive black wolf form slamming into the vampire from the side and driving him away from me.For three seconds, we stood back to back in the carnage—him in wolf form, me with blade raised, both of us bleeding and broken and still fighting.His flank pressed ag

Rhiannon's POVThe female smiled, red eyes gleaming in the predawn light. "No answer? How disappointing."She moved—not running or blurring but simply existing twenty feet closer than she'd been the moment before, as if distance meant nothing to her kind.Every wolf took a step back, weapons trembl

Rhiannon's POVThe walk to the packhouse should have felt dangerous.It didn't.Wolves lined the streets. Gathered in doorways. Pressed against windows. Hundreds of them watching us pass.But none approached."—that's her—""—the Phantom—""—killed Silas with her bare hands—"Soren's hand tightened
