last update 公開日: 2025-12-22 02:49:21

Darius's POV

The Phantom left, and I was alone with maps that blurred before my eyes.

Five years.

Five years of searching every forest, every rogue camp, every rumored Chimera sighting. Five years of sending scouts into the Forbidden Zone despite the costs. Five years of hoping to find her body just so I'd know.

Just so the not-knowing would stop eating me alive.

"Alpha." Cade's voice cut through my spiral. He'd stayed behind after the Phantom left. "That went well."

"Did it?"

"They accepted th

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 84: THE EASTERN SLOPE II

    The tunnel forced single file.Sera went first, her small violet light preceding her like a held breath. Then Marcus. Then Nyx. Then me.Darius came last, pulling the stone mostly closed behind us.The mountain sealed around us.I'd expected the pressure to ease once we were inside, away from the open slope. It didn't. If anything it intensified — concentrated now, channeled through the narrow passage, old magic soaked into the rock itself over two centuries of Malachar's occupation above.It pressed at my depleted reserves differently than it had outside. Outside it had been diffuse. Atmospheric. A general wrongness.In here it was specific. Probing. Like it was looking for something to push against and finding my burned-out reserves and pressing there. Not aggressively. But persistently.My wolf didn't like it.It moved inside me in tight circles. Pacing. The way it did when something was wrong and I wasn't letting it respond. I felt its frustration as a physical thing — tension acr

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 83: THE EASTERN SLOPE I

    Rhiannon's POVThe mountain was alive.Not literally. But close enough.Every step up the eastern slope felt like walking into something aware. The air thickened as we climbed — not with cold, though it was cold, breath misting and fingers numbing inside gloves — but with pressure. Like the mountain itself was exhaling against us. Ancient wards layered over centuries pressing outward, pushing back, saying leave in a language that bypassed thought and went straight to instinct.I pushed through it. Kept moving.The killing wards were higher. At the fortress walls. At the main entrance where Malachar's magic was concentrated and maintained and fed.Down here it was just persuasion. Just the mountain making its preferences known.I ignored its preferences.Nyx led us in a wide arc across the slope. The route she'd memorized from the Archives documents kept us below the ward boundary — barely. I could feel the edge of it above us. A line in the air where discomfort would become something

  • 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

    Rhiannon's POV"Mama, why is everyone shouting?"Soren sat on my bedroll, his wooden sword clutched in both hands. His gray-amber eyes were wide, frightened. Outside the tent, I could hear raised voices—pack members arguing, choosing sides, the chaos Darius had unleashed spreading like wildfire."I
