Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 65: THE CHIMERA PURGE 2
Darius's POV"They hunted us. Systematically. Methodically. Used the same tactics they'd used against Varic—overwhelming force, iron chains, silver weapons. Chimeras who'd never raised a hand in violence. Children. Elders. Didn't matter. The Alliance marked us all as threats."Rhiannon's hands were shaking."It took a hundred years," Nyx said quietly. "A hundred years to reduce thousands to dozens. Then dozens to a handful. By two hundred years ago, we thought we were extinct. The few survivors went so deep into hiding, changed their identities so completely, that even we lost track of each other."She turned back to face us."Your mother, Rhiannon, was one of the last. Lyra. She lived as a wolfless omega for thirty years. Never transformed. Never used her power. Raised you in secret, bound your magic at birth to hide you from the hunters."Rhiannon froze. "You knew her name.""I knew her. Not well, but enough to mourn her loss." Nyx's eyes were sad. "She was brave. Stronger than she
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 64: THE CHIMERA PURGE 3
Darius's POV"You're saying it's impossible," Rhiannon said flatly."I'm saying it's suicide. For anyone except..." Nyx looked at her. "Except a Chimera in smoke form. Who can phase through wards. Who can move unseen. Who can reach places no one else can."Rhiannon's laugh was bitter. "I can't even shift to wolf. Smoke form is impossible.""Now, yes." Nyx leaned forward. "But magic can regenerate. There are ways. Dangerous ways.""Tell me.""Forced regeneration through controlled near-death. Your body thinks it's dying, floods with adrenaline, forces magic reserves to respond." Nyx's expression was serious. "Or emotional catalyst—the same way you accessed smoke form originally. Grief and rage so absolute it forces your magic past every limit.""How long?""If you survive the training? Weeks. Maybe months. But Rhiannon—" Nyx's voice went hard. "It could kill you. Or burn out what little reserves remain permanently. You'd be forcing channels that are already damaged. Pushing magic that
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 63: ANSWERS
Darius's POVI stepped into the room.Rhiannon sat upright in bed. Silver hair tangled. Face too pale. Eyes—Gray.Just gray. Human gray. No silver glow. No power radiating from her skin.She looked... diminished.Elder Moira stood beside the bed, checking vitals with glowing hands. She glanced at me, shook her head slightly. Not good.Rhiannon's gaze found mine. Held for three seconds.Then looked away."How long?"Her voice was rough from disuse. Flat. Empty."Fourteen days.""Soren?"The word was a knife."Still gone. We don't know—""Where's the vampire?" She moved to stand. Her legs buckled immediately.I caught her before she hit the floor. She tried to push away but didn't have the strength."Don't—""You've been unconscious for two weeks," Moira said firmly. "Your muscles have atrophied. You're severely dehydrated despite the IV. You need at least three days of—""I don't have three days." Rhiannon's voice cracked. "My son—""Is still wherever he is whether you can walk or no
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 62: FOURTEEN DAYS
Darius's POVThe chair beside her bed had worn a groove into the floor.I could see it when the morning light slanted through the window—two parallel scrapes in the wood where I'd dragged the chair in, dragged it out, dragged it back again. Fourteen days of the same motion wearing the pattern deeper.Rhiannon didn't move. Her chest rose and fell with mechanical precision, each breath identical to the last. Smoke still curled from her skin in thin wisps—gray, not silver, like dying embers that couldn't decide whether to ignite or go cold.The healers said that was bad. Meant the transformation hadn't released. Meant her magic was eating itself trying to maintain a form it couldn't sustain.My hand hovered over hers where it lay on top of the blanket. Pale. Too pale.I didn't touch her.Didn't have the right.The door opened. I didn't turn."You should eat something." Marcus's voice. How many times had he said that? Ten? Twenty?"Later.""That's what you said yesterday.""Later."The do
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 access to this. Shouldn't even know it existed.Yet there she was, silver smoke coiling around us like a living thing, reforming and dissolving faster than we could track. Every time we struck, our claws passed through nothing. Every time we thought we'd located her, she was already somewhere else.She reformed to my left, solid just long enough to tear claws across my ribs. I felt bone crack, felt black blood spray. I lunged at her—Smoke. Nothing but silver smoke that flowed away before I could connect.She reformed behind me. Claws punched through my back, found my spine. Pain exploded. I screamed.Then she was gone again, smoke dissolving into the air."We need to leave!" I shouted to my com
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 60: SMOKE AND ASH
Rhiannon's POVThe camp was silent.Not the peaceful silence of early morning but the heavy, oppressive quiet that came after violence had torn through and left nothing living in its wake.I shifted back to human as I approached, my paws hitting ground that was churned to mud with blood—too much blood, the scent of it thick enough to choke on. The wards were shattered, hanging in the air like broken spiderweb, their magic dissipated into nothing.Kira lay three feet from my tent entrance. Her throat was gone, torn out so completely that her head was barely attached to her body. Her eyes stared at nothing, already glazing over with death.Torven was further back, near the perimeter. His chest was caved in, ribs shattered and driven inward through his lungs and heart.I stumbled toward my tent, broken ribs screaming with each step, magic reserves so low I could barely maintain human form. My hands shook as I pushed aside the entrance flap.Empty.Soren's blanket lay crumpled where he'd
