Rhiannon's POV

The night was moonless when I shifted to eagle form and flew toward Blackriver compound.

Below, Marcus and the others waited in the forest. Ready to storm the walls if I didn't return by dawn.

I prayed it wouldn't come to that.

The compound loomed ahead—massive stone walls, guard towers, magical wards that made my Chimera nature scream warnings.

But the balcony Sera had mentioned was outside the main ward boundary. Just barely.

I landed silently, shifting to human form on the sto

  • 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 76: ONE WEEK II

    Darius's POVThe training that followed was brutal.Every morning: physical conditioning. Running. Strength building. Endurance.Every afternoon: combat synchronization. Learning to fight as a unit. Anticipating each other's moves.Every evening: magic work. Pushing her limits. Trying to shift. To access deeper reserves.And through it all—touch.Not intimate. Not romantic. But constant.Fighting together meant bodies colliding. Hands catching. Arms steadying.The bond grew stronger with each contact.Day eight: She could shift her entire forearm. Fifteen seconds.Day nine: Both forearms. Twenty seconds.Day ten: Her hands became claws. Actual claws. Sharp and deadly and real.Progress.Not enough. But progress.On day eleven, we were sparring in the training yard when she suddenly froze."What's wrong?" I asked."I felt..." She closed her eyes. Concentrated. "The wolf. Not just the memory. The actual form. It's there. I can almost touch it.""Then reach for it.""I'm trying—""Don't

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 75: ONE WEEK

    Darius's POVThe second war council was smaller.Just the five of us who'd actually go on the mission. Rhiannon, me, Nyx, Sera, and Marcus.One week left.The maps were spread across the table again. Same tunnel schematics. Same ward configurations. But this time we were drilling down into details that could mean the difference between success and death."The seal on the tunnel entrance," Sera said, tracing the marking with her finger, "is keyed to recognize vampire magic. It won't let anyone else through.""Can you break it?" I asked."Maybe. If it's degraded enough. Two hundred years is a long time for magic to hold without maintenance." She pulled out notes from the Archives. "The spell structure suggests it was designed to keep humans out—monks who might try to reclaim the monastery. Not to defend against witches or Chimeras.""So there's a weakness," Rhiannon said."There's always a weakness. Question is whether I can find it before Bloodletters find us." Sera looked up. "I'll ne
