The council chamber of Crescent Vale was a cavern of stone and fire. Torches lined the walls, their flames snapping in the draft, casting jagged shadows across the carved wolf totems that loomed over the chamber like silent judges. The long table of dark oak stretched between the gathered elders, betas, and generals, each seat filled with a wolf whose voice carried weight over the fate of the pack.

At the head sat Luna. She wore no crown, but her presence was heavier than steel. Her armor had been stripped, replaced with a black tunic that emphasized the corded strength in her shoulders. She leaned forward, knuckles against the table, eyes like sharpened silver blades.

Selene sat at her right, though not by choice. Rowan had led her there, his hand steady on her shoulder when her knees threatened to give. She wanted to be anywhere but here, yet the very fact that she had been seated at the Alpha’s side told the entire council what this meeting was truly about.

  • BENEATH THE BLOOD MOON: CLAIMED BY HER ALPHA   PRIESTS ARRIVE DEMANDING FOR SELENE

    The fortress gates groaned open at dawn. The mist still clung to the mountains, curling through the pine trees and stone ramparts like ghostly fingers. A hush fell over the courtyard as three figures entered hooded, robed in white trimmed with threads of gold. Their presence was heavy, not of muscle or steel, but of something older, colder: the weight of divine authority.The priests of the Moon Goddess had come.Selene felt it before she even saw them. The bond thrummed sharply in her chest, a warning. She had been tending to a feverish child in the healer’s wing when the ripple of unease swept through the pack. Whispers traveled faster than fire. By the time she stepped out into the corridor, wolves were already pressing toward the balconies and windows, craning for a glimpse.Her stomach twisted. She pulled her shawl tighter around her shoulders, the instinctive shiver of prey under a predator’s gaze even before their eyes found her.“Stay back.” Rowan’s voice cut through the murmu

  • BENEATH THE BLOOD MOON: CLAIMED BY HER ALPHA   LUNA REFUSES, PREPARING FOR WAR

    The council chamber reverberated with silence after selene’s words. Her plea for diplomacy still hung in the air like incense soft, cloying, and easily dismissed in the choking heat of hostility. Luna sat on her obsidian-carved throne at the head of the chamber, her silver eyes narrowed to dangerous slits. The faintest curl of a smirk touched her lips, not of amusement, but of a predator humoring a prey animal that thought it had claws.“Diplomacy,” she repeated, her voice velvet laced with steel. “with callista.” She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the carved arms of the throne. The light from the braziers flickered across the scars on her forearms, trophies from old wars. “Do you think she wants words, little dove? Do you think she wants peace? She doesn’t want crescent vale at the table, she wants it at her feet.”Selene’s hands tightened around the folds of her gown. She stood tall, though her heart was thrumming like a trapped bird. “I know she wants dominance. But if you m

  • BENEATH THE BLOOD MOON: CLAIMED BY HER ALPHA   SELENE URGES DIPLOMACY

    The council chamber was a storm of voices. Harsh growls, furious arguments, the thrum of warriors’ fists pounding the great oak table that split the room in two. War banners hung from the vaulted ceiling, their silvery threads catching the dim torchlight, casting crescent vale’s crest the crescent moon and twin wolves into every shadow.At the head of the table, luna sat like a carved statue of fury, her golden eyes narrowed, her posture rigid, her aura pressing against every living body in the chamber. The air itself seemed to bow before her wrath. Even the most battle-hardened generals lowered their gazes when her gaze swept their way.Selene sat opposite her, silent but trembling, her hands folded in her lap as she forced herself to breathe. Every word spoken, every violent proposal, pressed against her spirit like a weight. She could feel the currents of the bond pulling at her, dragging her into luna’s state of mind a hunger for war, for blood, for destruction. And yet, selene k

  • BENEATH THE BLOOD MOON: CLAIMED BY HER ALPHA   LUNA’S OATH

    The night dragged on with no peace.The fortress felt like a mausoleum, its stone walls echoing with the groans of the wounded, the whispers of wolves who had lost their kin. Fires burned low in the great hall, and the storm outside refused to cease, a restless chorus against the shutters.Selene sat curled in luna’s lap, the Alpha’s arms wrapped protectively around her, as if sheer force of will could banish what haunted her dreams. Luna’s heartbeat was steady, but Selene felt the tension in her body the way her muscles remained coiled, her hand never far from her sword.Neither of them slept.“Luna,” Selene whispered at last, her voice small, brittle. “What if she’s right?”Luna’s arms tightened around her. “She’s not.”“But I feel her. Even when I’m awake. She’s… inside me somehow. Like a shadow that doesn’t belong.” Selene’s voice cracked, her nails digging into Luna’s tunic. “What if I hurt you? What if one night I—”“You won’t.”“How can you be so sure?”“Because you’re stronger

  • BENEATH THE BLOOD MOON: CLAIMED BY HER ALPHA   BLOODSHED IN THE SNOW

    The battlefield was eerily quiet.Snow had begun to fall again, drifting over blood and ash, softening the jagged edges of the carnage. Wolves padded through the ruins, their fur stained crimson, their eyes still alight with battle-rage. Human soldiers groaned where they lay, some clutching wounds, others too still to rise.And above it all, the fortress of luna’s people loomed dark and heavy, its banners tattered but still standing.Selene sat on the frozen ground, her breath coming in shallow gasps, her fingers trembling in her lap. The silver glow that had poured out of her during the battle had left her drained, her body fragile as glass. She could feel the pull of unconsciousness tugging at her mind, but Luna’s warmth beside her held her tethered.The alpha crouched low, one arm steady around Selene’s waist, her golden eyes sharp as she scanned the field. Her sword was still in her other hand, dripping with blood, her armor cracked where spells had burned against her. Yet not onc
