“What is it with that book anyway that the Alpha wants it back so badly. It’s just an ordinary book!” the other said sounding a little cowardly and ignorant.

I turned and spared Luca a glance, he was listening to them intently and I figured that’s what I must do too.

“Shhh!” the wolf paused, “You don’t spill words like that.” He warned. “That book is a a very important book and contains all the magic spells used in the ancient history of magic. It contains one of the most powerful spell chants and Alexa needs that book as well.” He explained gritting.

I wanted to reposition myself and didn’t know when I stepped on a twig. It cracked sound was like a trumpet through the quiet forest. The two wolves stopped talking immediately and listened, their ears straightening and inclining to the direction of the sound

One sniffed the air. “I smell her.” He said sniffing some more taking steady but calculative strides towards me.

My heart skipped a bit as I was afraid of being caught. I didn’t kn

  • Betrayal under the wolf’s moon   CHAPTER 66: ASHES AND CHAINS

    MIRA’S POVThe first thing I noticed was the cold.For a minute or so after my eyes snapped open, it felt like the cold lived inside me, like something had crawled in and made a home there—something incredibly cold.When I tried to move, something heavy tugged at my wrists. Metal bit into skin rubbed raw. I bit my lips hard as I realized I was chained tightly, with silver chains.I blinked against the dark. My head was foggy, like I’d been drowning in thick syrup and only now broken the surface.Where was I?I lifted my head, and the pain came rushing in—sharp and brutal. My skull throbbed. My mouth tasted of dirt and blood. My throat burned.I looked around, my eyes taking in the stone walls, mold creeping through the cracks. Water dripped somewhere distant, steady and mocking. A single torch burned just outside the cell, casting long, twitching shadows like the place was alive. A dungeon.I'd never been here before, I'd only heard of the place beneath the throne room. Never did it c

  • Betrayal under the wolf’s moon   Chapter 65 :SILENCE!

    NARRATORThe throne room had never felt colder.It was built to impress—with towering marble pillars, golden latticework around arched windows, and a floor so polished it reflected the sorrow of every soul who dared walk across it. But today, that cold didn’t come from stone. It came from the people who stood within it, from the choices made.And from the woman laughing at the center of it all.Alexa stood tall in her war robes, her hair cascading in crimson curls, her eyes alive with a cruel sort of glee. The laughter bubbling from her lips was shrill, victorious, echoing through the hall like a dagger against glass. She had dismissed the pack members, and the elders too. This moment was for her.In chains, at her feet, knelt Mira and Luca.Blood crusted Luca’s temple. Mira’s face bore scratches, bruises, and streaks of ash that once belonged to homes—homes that now existed only as blackened bones in the soil.Her eyes were wide but not afraid. No, there was no fear left in her. Only

    Mira wanted to believe Thane would defend her at the Council if it came to the worst after all it was her he loved. He would protect what they shared.But for now... guilt tightened in her chest.In the Council's court a day later…Sitting in front of them was a council of ten elders, all arranged in a semicircle likened to a half moon.“Alpha Thane,” the Head Chief’s voice thundered through the high stone walls, “Ms. Mira, our librarian, claims you are her mate. That this bond had existed in secret. Tell us—is there truth to this?” he questioned and from his high seat, he dropped his gaze on Thane.Mira stood alone in the center of the room. Her palms clammy at her sides, her throat dry. She could feel every eye on her—especially Thane’s.The council, waited for an answer from Thane but it was taking too long for it to come out. Their eyes darted between Mira and Thane, wondering why both eyes were locked on each other.He hadn’t spoken since they walked in.The room kept waiting fo

    She didn't need to be introduced, she already knew who she was.Alexa stepped closer to Thane and locked her hands with his. Having noticed Mira, she could sense that she was a threat. She needed to act fast and guard her territory.Mira took a deep breath and faced them, noticed her moving but ignored it.She tried to keep her eyes away from both of them, but yet, it still went ahead and fell unconsciously on their interlocked hands. When she saw it, her heart shattered to a million pieces.She blinked hard, trying to refuse the tears that wanted to go spiral.“His hand is supposed to only fit into mine.” She groaned inwardly.“Alexa,” Thane finally found his voice. “This is Mira, the pack's library keeper,” he said.She was surprised at the introduction. “Just a library keeper, wow!” She muttered inaudibly. She did all she could to contain her emotions inside.“Mira, this is Alexa, my…” his voice trailed off unexpectedly.She didn't wait to ask why he had stopped, she finished off a

    The next day, as pale as the morning light spilled through his window, Thane stood half-dressed, nursing a cup of hot tea when a flicker of color caught his eye—fiery red, moving gracefully across the palace courtyard.His heart slammed into his chest.No. No, no, no.He leaned closer to the window.It was her—the red-haired girl. His bride. She was heading toward the palace entrance, escorted by two guards. Her cloak billowed behind her like a crimson flame.Thane swore under his breath, abandoning his tea and storming out of his chambers. He caught his father just outside the war room, calm and unreadable as always.“What is she doing here?” Thane demanded, barely keeping his voice low.The old Alpha didn’t flinch. “She belongs to you now, so you wish to her. "She’s simply coming to her Alpha,” he said nonchalantly.Thane’s jaw clenched. “Duties? You never said she would be moving in. You said this alliance would be political—simple, distant!”His father gave him a long look, eyes l

    They got engaged.She was beautiful— fair-skinned, with eyes like ice during winter. Her hair had the perfect touch of red, likened to a dying summer's sun. A quiet kind of beauty that felt both distant and deliberate.During the ritual, they sat close, but didn’t speak a word. She wore a smile—polite, unreadable—a mixture of cold restraint and something warmer beneath. It puzzled Thane...he wondered what it meant.He didn’t want this woman, but now that she was his, he might as well try to get to know her, probably like her. Try to be friendly.“Are you pretending, or are you always this cold?” he asked, leaning slightly towards her.She giggled softly, her pale cheeks flushing pink. “Are you always this hilarious?” she shot back with a playful face.He shrugged. She didn't glare at him to keep shut. Oh well, maybe she was not so bad.“I’m doing all kinds of things,” he said with a wink. Depends on the weather. But you… you’ve got all the seasons in you.”She blushed again, offering

    NARRATOR*FLASHBACK*"You must marry the Luna from the Ice Claw pack," he said, his voice firm, his gaze fixed on anything but him. "To form a strong alliance between us and strengthen our bond," he added. It's for the pack. "There’s no one better suited for this than you, Thane," he continued, finally looking up at him for the first time since the conversation began."Why me?" Thane asked, his voice breaking with quiet desperation."You're the heir, Thane. "Look around you. "We need the Ice Claw on our side," he emphasized."This is one of the many sacrifices you’ll have to make for the good of the pack," he stated.In a few days, you will be announced as its new leader. It's time you stepped up your game. Let the people feel safe under your reign.""Only a Luna— royal blood—can rule beside you. "Not some dumbass librarian, what does she know about leadership and sacrifices?" he added casually, the words cutting deeper than any blade. "She’s no good for the pack." He ended dismissive

  • Betrayal under the wolf’s moon   Chapter 59 : PAIN

    Luca reached out to hug me but since our hands were bound, we greeted each other by pressing our temples against each other—and for a brief, precious moment, it felt like all hope was not completely lost.“I’m sorry I wasn’t there to protect you,” he said, lifting his head. Regret and sadness clouded his eyes like a mist.“Oh, Luca,” I said, my voice tender, merely a whisper. I cupped his face in my hands tenderly and looked at his withdrawn eyes. “It wasn’t your fault,” I said, trying to console him.He shook his head, gently pushing me away, he lowered it once more.“It is,” he muttered, shrinking, curling himself into a round ball. “I couldn’t even save Mother.” His voice cracked, and tears brimmed in his eyes. “I watched her get killed.” The tears fell off his eyes like a scar.I stayed silent, my heart aching for him. There were no words that could soothe a pain like his… the pain of watching someone you love so dearly die.I understood how sad this was for him. I would feel the

    Nathan laughed—a cold laugh. “You call this power? This is you selling your soul for a taste!”“ENOUGH!” Alexa’s voice boomed, the ground trembling as magic pulsed from her.“I've had enough of this pep talk with you.” She said, “Enough stalling!”“Now back to what I really came for and if you try to stop me again, then I promise you, I won't play nice.” she threatened."I don't bloody care!!" He growled and lodged at her with great speed but she already saw him coming.She stretched her hand, exuding dark violent fumes at her fingertips... she held him in a still bubble mid air and with a twist of a finger, she crushed all the bones in his body, all his joints went cracking, torn—all in a single bend of the finger.My heart sank.Nathan growled in pain under such torment and when she finally released him. He fell to the ground, a loud and heavy thud. It got the earth shaking and vibrating for a second."Nathan!” I yelled and ran to him. I didn't want to lose anyone else tonight.Ale
