The halls of the stronghold were too quiet.

Even after Luna’s return, even after Selene was healed and Merek pushed back, the atmosphere had shifted.

The pack no longer whispered about Luna’s power—they watched it.

Some in awe. Others in fear.

Even the ones who bowed now did so carefully… like she might snap.

Kael felt it too.

They’d won the skirmish.

But the war was no longer just against Merek.

It was within.

“I saw the way he touched you,” Kael said.

Luna froze.

They stood in the sparring ring alone, training gear abandoned, tension thick between them.

“He didn’t touch me. Not really.”

Kael’s jaw clenched. “But you let him close.”

“I was buying time.”

“Or you were curious.”

Luna’s eyes flashed. “Don’t do that.”

“Don’t what?” Kael stepped forward, voice low. “Pretend you didn’t feel it—the pull between you and him. That ancient magic responds to darkness.”

She glared at him. “And you’re afraid that darkness is inside me?”

“No,” he snapped. “I’m afraid you’ll embrace it.”

  • Alpha   Chapter 40- The Moon's Reckoning

    The sky burned with the blood-red hue of a coming war.Luna stood on the cliff’s edge, the wind tangling through her silver-streaked hair, her gown billowing around her like smoke from a wildfire. Below her, the valley groaned with the restlessness of warriors preparing for what would be the final clash of bloodlines. The Trial of Flesh and Fire had left Kael marked in ways only she could understand. His back bore the emblem of the ancients now, the mark of the true Alpha. But it was her soul that was aflame."They gather in the east," Kael said, stepping beside her. His voice was low, almost reverent. "Three packs, maybe four. The Darkthorn wolves among them."Luna turned her face toward him. He looked regal in his battle leathers, dark as the storm clouds above. The gold trim of his armor glinted, but it was the fire in his amber eyes that made her heart stutter."Then we face them," she whispered.He cupped her cheek, his hand rough and warm. "You don't have to. I can keep you safe

  • Alpha   Chapter 39 - The Reckoning Flame

    The echo of the fire trial still haunted the walls of the council chamber. Luna stood at the edge of the sacred arena, her skin tingling with residual embers of Kael’s power and the invisible weight of eyes that still judged her. But she was unbroken, her body sore yet humming with victory. The pack’s murmurs had shifted from doubt to awe.Kael’s voice cut through the hush, rich with pride. “The Moonstone has spoken. Luna is worthy.”The crowd erupted in howls of approval, but the elders remained still. Their approval would require more than fire and flesh.That night, the moon rose higher than it had in weeks, its glow drenching the Silverfang territory in argent light. Kael stood outside the ceremonial hall, shirtless, his tribal markings glowing faintly. Luna approached him, adorned in a sheer silver wrap that clung to her curves, her hair wild like the night wind.“You called for me?” she asked, her voice low, knowing.Kael turned, his gaze igniting. “I need to feel your power, Lu

  • Alpha   Chapter 38: The Reckoning Moon

    The Moonstone Summit stood silent beneath the obsidian sky, shrouded in an eerie tension that clung to every leaf, every breeze. A crescent moon bled silver light upon the clearing where Kael and Luna stood, surrounded by the High Council and the sacred witnesses of the Pack Realms. This was the arena of reckoning—the ancient trial where bloodlines were tested, bonds broken or affirmed, and destinies rewritten.Luna’s gown, spun from the threads of the Moonweaver’s blessing, shimmered like water under starlight. Her eyes—now golden with awakened Luna power—locked with Kael’s burning blue gaze. Power pulsed between them, invisible yet electric, thick with yearning, tension, and the unspoken weight of everything they’d endured.Kael took a step forward. His bare chest bore the marks of the previous trial—runes seared by the fire of the gods—but his posture was regal, proud, unbending. “I will face the Reckoning Moon,” he announced, his voice echoing through the air like thunder.A murmu

  • Alpha   Chapter 37 - The Midnight Pact

    Luna stirred awake, her body aching but humming with the remnants of Kael’s touch. The embers from the Trial of Flesh and Fire still smoldered deep within her soul, and though the physical pain had subsided, the bond between her and Kael felt more alive than ever—raw, searing, and dangerously sacred.The moon hung full in the sky, casting silver light through the tall arched windows of the Temple of Elders. Kael was already dressed, standing bare-chested by the window, his muscled form haloed in light. He turned as if sensing her eyes on him.“You’re awake,” he said, voice low and thick with emotion.“I never really slept,” Luna replied, sitting up, letting the silk sheet fall to her waist. Kael’s gaze flicked down, and for a moment, they were no longer Alpha and Luna—they were man and woman, tethered by longing.He crossed the room and knelt at the side of the bed. “You were magnificent, Luna. You survived the flame not because you are mine—but because you are stronger than fate ever

  • Alpha   Chapter 36 : Marked by Flame

    The moon hung heavy over the Ember Grove, its crimson light shimmering like molten lava across the forest floor. Kael's body still trembled with residual fury, and Luna's skin bore the soft sheen of sweat, her silver irises glowing in the dark like twin moons. The Trial of Flesh and Fire had ended, but its consequences were just beginning to take root.Whispers of what they had endured rippled through the Pack. No other Alpha and Luna had faced the fire spirits and walked out unscathed in centuries. The pack elders bowed their heads in solemn recognition, while the younger wolves looked at Kael and Luna with a new, reverent fear.Kael couldn’t tear his eyes from Luna as she stood beside him in the ceremonial clearing. Her posture was regal, her body humming with power. The Trial had awakened something inside her—something primal. And it called to him like wildfire.“Tonight,” Kael said in a low growl, his voice laced with hunger and awe, “you were more than my Luna. You were my equal.

  • Alpha   Chapter 35 - The Trial of Fire and Flesh

    The council chamber beneath the great tree of Elarion was cloaked in veils of magic and moonlight. The air shimmered with runes of old, floating and pulsing like living stars. Luna stood at Kael’s side, her silver robe hugging her curves, her hair braided with slivers of enchanted crystal. The chamber had summoned them. Not by vote, but by fate.The Trial of Fire and Flesh was not just an ordeal—it was a reckoning. A test only the fated Alpha and his true Luna could undergo. To survive it was to command the elemental spirits. To fail was to be consumed.Kael’s grip on Luna’s hand tightened. She could feel his heartbeat thundering beneath his chest, not from fear—but from uncontainable energy."Whatever happens," he murmured, his breath warm against her ear, "we face it together."Luna nodded, heart hammering. "Always."A high priestess in blood-red silk stepped forward. Her eyes were blindfolded with a band of obsidian."Strip away all but your bond," she intoned. "Clothes, fears, dou
