TRISTAN

I can't focus.

The letter sits on my desk like a weight in the air, taunting me with its presence. It’s from Alpha Magnus of Moonclaw. An official apology for Cedric’s actions, a promise that he will pay for his crimes. I should feel relieved, but instead, a storm brews inside me.

“Sorry" doesn't cut it. Not after everything. The failed kidnapping, the near war.

Magnus assures me that Cedric will be demoted from Beta to Gamma, a move that might calm the chaos he’s caused. But will it really?

The thought of him losing that power, of him spiraling further into madness, sends a chill down my spine. I can’t shake the feeling that this is just the beginning.

I can’t focus on the details, on the plan to oust him as Beta and bring the peace back to Nightshade. My mind keeps drifting back to Eleanor.

I need to talk to her. She deserves to know what’s happening, but I dread her reaction.

Gods, she can be so difficult.

I leave the office, heading toward the healing chambers where I

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   The unbearable pull

    ELEANORI can't breathe.It's like there's this constant weight in my chest. The bond. I can feel it, burning beneath my skin every time Tristan's near me. My heart races, my wolf stirs, and I can't escape it. It pulls me to him, and at the same time, it terrifies me.It’s so fucking confusing. How can something feel so right and so wrong at the same time? I feel myself faltering. He knows. I know he knows. There’s no hiding it anymore, the way we’re drawn together, the way we fit, like two pieces of a puzzle.But it’s not right. I can’t let myself fall into it. The ceremony. The damn mate-picking ceremony. It's coming, and I’m running out of time to convince myself it doesn’t matter.I walk through the halls, trying to ignore the knot in my stomach, trying to focus on the day ahead, but it’s impossible. The rumors are everywhere. The Council is getting closer to making a decision, they say. They’ll choose an Alpha’s Luna soon, and everything is about to change. I try to push it al

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   The bonds we break

    TRISTANI hate silence. It never make things easier. It amplifies the thoughts I don't want to hear, like a drum echoing in the empty chambers of my mind. I stare at the pile of reports on my desk, trying to make sense of the chaos around me. My fingers hover over the paper, but I can't focus. I can't focus on anything. Not the maps, not the intel. Not even the goddamn battle strategies.All I hear is her.Her voice, her laughter, the way she would whisper my name like it was a secret only the two of us knew. I can still feel her touch when I close my eyes, a phantom sensation, too real to dismiss.But I can’t have her. Not like I want.She ended it.She said she was scared, that being Luna wasn't something she bargained for. But I know better. The real reason... the reason she's pushing me away? She's terrified.I can’t get past that. I can't understand it, not when I’ve fought so hard to make us a reality. I’ve given her every part of me—my trust, my loyalty, my soul. But no matter

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   What regreats conceals

    ELEANORIt’s strange how silence can scream louder than words. That’s what my mornings feel like now—quiet, but heavy. Each sound exaggerated in the stillness. The scrape of my spoon in Kate’s oatmeal bowl. The creak of floorboards under my feet as I make my rounds in the healing chambers. Even Kate’s laughter, which once brought warmth, now seems far away. Like an echo from another life.I kneel beside Lady Bianca’s birthing bed, wiping sweat from her brow as she pants through her contractions. Her husband hovers nervously behind me, shifting from one foot to another like his presence alone could ease her pain. I manage a smile, whispering soothing words, my hands steady even though my chest is in knots.I should be grateful. The people of Nightshade trust me again. After everything with Cedric, they still let me bring life into the world. But no amount of acceptance can drown the guilt sitting in my gut like stone.Tristan hasn’t spoken to me in days.Not that I blame him.I broke i

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   What an obsession unleashes

    CEDRIC"So you're telling me the mission failed?"Silence.The bunker stank of sweat and fear. Four of them stood before me, shadows flickering across their faces from the dim lantern swinging overhead. Rain tapped the metal roof in quick, impatient rhythms, but it wasn’t nearly loud enough to drown out my rage.“We—we did what you asked,” one of them stuttered. Markel, or Marcus—hell if I remembered his name. “We tracked them all the way to the girl's school, but—”"The girl was right there. Right fucking there, and you let her slip?" I took a step forward. One of them flinched.Cowards."We didn’t expect her to have so much security with her," one stammered, his voice cracking. "It was an ambush—"I slammed my fist into his jaw. He flew sideways, hit the wall hard, and crumpled."Don’t insult me with excuses," I hissed. "She’s still out there. With them. My daughter. My Kate.”He flinched at her name. They always did. Like even they knew what she meant to me. What she cost me.“She

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   What a heart spilt into

    TRISTANI didn’t go to combat training.Didn’t even leave the damn office.Instead, I sat in the dark, the only light coming from the fire in the corner and the bottle of whiskey I’d stolen from my father’s stash.She left. She fucking left.My fingers clutched the neck of the bottle tighter as the memory slammed into me again. The way her voice broke. The way her eyes couldn’t even look at me when she said it.I’m freeing myself.She used those words like they meant something noble. Like I was some prison and she was setting herself free. But I wasn't the cage. I was the one trying to keep her from burning the damn world down around her.I drank again, the burn biting down my throat like punishment.The door creaked open. I didn’t look.“You planning on drinking yourself to death or are you just getting a head start on tomorrow's regrets?”Maurice.I exhaled and leaned back in the chair, letting the fire warm one half of my face while the rest stayed cold.He shut the door and walked
