Cade's POV

The council meeting had ended in chaos. Darius had tried to maintain order—shouting commands, invoking Alpha authority. But the pack was fracturing before his eyes.

Elder Thorne had stormed out, taking twenty warriors with him. Pack mothers were screaming. Someone threw a chair.

Darius had lasted maybe ten minutes before fleeing to his office.

That was three hours ago.

The scent of whiskey hit me before I even opened the door to Darius's office.

I'd been looking for him for hours—the council meeting had ended in chaos, with the council dissolved and half the pack choosing sides. Darius had made his grand gesture, protecting his son.

And then disappeared.

I pushed the door open without knocking.

Darius sat slumped in his chair, a bottle of amber liquid dangling from one hand. His shirt was half-unbuttoned, his hair disheveled. The mighty Alpha, reduced to this.

"There you are," I said, my voice flat. "Half the pack is looking for you."

He didn't look up. "Tell them I'm busy.

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 46: RHIANNON'S RESPONSE

    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."It's just pack business, baby." I knelt beside him, checking the wards Sera had placed around the tent. Still holding. "Nothing for you to worry about.""But they're angry." He tilted his head, listening. "I can hear them saying my name. Saying I'm dangerous."My heart clenched. "You're not dangerous.""Then why do they want to take me away?" His voice was small, scared. "I heard them in the big room. They said I should be raised by the pack. That you can't teach me properly.""You heard that?" I sat back on my heels. "Soren, you were supposed to stay here—""I wanted to see." His lower lip trembled. "I wanted to know why everyone was scared of me. But then they started shouting about bloodli

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 44: PACK REACTION - THE COUNCIL CONVENES

    Rhiannon's POVThe news spread like wildfire through dry grass.By noon, every wolf in Crescent Moon knew. The Phantom was Rhiannon Ashwood—the wolfless omega they'd mocked five years ago. And she had a son. The Alpha's son. A hybrid child with Chimera blood.I felt the shift in the air before I saw it. The way pack members stopped talking when I passed. The way mothers pulled their children closer. The way warriors' hands drifted toward weapons.Fear and hostility, thick enough to choke on."Boss." Marcus appeared at my elbow, his scarred face grim. "The council's calling an emergency session. They're demanding you attend.""When?""Now."I looked toward my tent where Soren was playing with wooden soldiers, blissfully unaware. Sera stood guard, violet magic already sparking around her fingers."They can't have him," I said quietly."I know. That's why we're ready to fight our way out if needed." Marcus's hand rested on his blade. "Say the word."Before I could respond, Cade appeared,

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 43: THE FIRST CONFRONTATION

    Darius's POVI found her outside the safe house, her back pressed against the stone wall.She'd reformed from shadow just seconds ago—I'd seen the silver smoke solidify into flesh. Her hands shook violently. Her breathing came in ragged gasps.Without the mask, she looked exactly as I remembered—silver-tipped hair, those gray eyes, the curve of her jaw I'd traced with my fingers a thousand times.And nothing like her at all.The softness was gone. Her face had sharpened, cheekbones more pronounced, jaw harder. Scars traced her hands, her neck—marks of violence survived. And her eyes... gods, her eyes held nothing but cold fury where warmth used to live.I'd destroyed the girl I loved and created this warrior in her place. "Rhiannon."She didn't turn. "Don't.""I just want to talk—""I said don't." Her shoulders tensed. "Walk away, Darius. While you still can.""I can't." The words came out raw. "You're alive. You're—gods, you're *alive*. How?"She laughed without humor. "Disappointed

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 42: The Unmasking

    Rhiannon's POVI'd made it three steps back toward camp when the screaming started.Not battle screams. Terror.Coming from the safe house where we'd evacuated the omegas and children.No. No, I needed to get to Soren. Needed to check that he was safe behind Sera's wards—But those screams. Children's screams.I turned back, my chest burning with more than just cracked ribs.The safe house door hung open, splintered. Inside, chaos.Rogues—five of them—cornered twenty omegas and children against the far wall. Blood already stained the floor. Bodies—guards who'd been protecting them.But what froze me in place wasn't the rogues.It was Isolde.She stood among them, her perfect blonde hair disheveled, her gown torn and bloodstained. And in her hand—a blade.Pointed at a crying child."Isolde?" My voice came out rough, disbelieving. "What are you—""Phantom." She smiled, cold and brittle. "How convenient. You can watch them die.""The Luna is the traitor," one of the omegas sobbed. "She l

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 41: THE BATTLE AND MASK CRACK

    Rhiannon's POVThe attack came at dawn.I was checking perimeter wards when the howls started—dozens of them, echoing through the forest like a chorus of death. Not the coordinated strikes we'd been tracking. This was different.This was war."Everyone up!" I sprinted back toward camp, my voice cutting through the early morning quiet. "Full assault on the eastern border! Silver Claws, formation three!"My team moved with practiced efficiency, grabbing weapons and armor.But my first thought was Soren.I veered toward my tent, terror spiking through me. If rogues broke through—if they found him—Sera was already there, standing guard. "He's safe. Wards are holding. Go!"I hesitated for one precious second, torn between my son and my duty."Go!" Sera shouted. "I'll protect him with my life!"I ran toward the screaming.Pack warriors were already engaged at the eastern border—dozens of them fighting twice as many rogues. Bodies littered the ground, both rogue and pack. Blood painted the
