My voice broke. “Back there, when you fell... I couldn’t breathe, Luca. I couldn’t... I don’t know what I would’ve done.”He turned, pulling me gently closer with his uninjured arm. “You’re not going to lose me. Not now. Not ever. You and I—we’re going to make it.”“You promise?”He leaned his forehead to mine. “With everything I have.”I felt the warmth of his breath, the heat in his skin, even beneath the cold of the cave. The pain in his body didn’t matter in that moment. All that existed was us. In the silence of the cave, with the scent of moss and earth around us, we were just two people trying to survive.“I don’t want to keep running,” I murmured. “I want to stop, breathe, build something.”“We will,” he said softly. “Just not yet.”“Yeah. Not yet.”I pulled a blanket from the pack we carried and draped it around both of us, curling into his side. His arm tightened around me, and I closed my eyes to the rhythmic beat of his heart. Steady, even now.I didn’t know what tomorrow

I caught him before he fell completely. My hands found his side. Blood."No, no, no…"Revik tackled the third hunter before he could fire again, slamming his head into a rock. Everything went silent again. But I didn’t hear it. I could only feel the heat of Luca’s blood against my palm."It’s not silver," he rasped, smiling through the pain. "Lucky you. I get to suffer longer.""Shut up," I choked out, tears falling. "Don’t joke. Please."The rogues surrounded us, tense, scanning the woods."We need to move," Revik said. "Now. There could be more."They helped me lift Luca. He was barely conscious. I held him against me as we ran. The trees blurred. My chest burned.We didn’t stop until we found another small clearing by a stream, miles away.That night, I cleaned his wound. My hands shook so hard I could barely hold the cloth. The bullet had gone clean through, missing anything vital, but it hurt to see him like that."Hey," he whispered, eyes fluttering open. "You’re shaking.""Of c

Later that night, under the whispering trees and the slumbering stars, Luca and I curled into each other in our lean-to. I pressed my face to his chest, letting the sound of his heartbeat ground me. His arms wrapped tight around me, his breath warm against my hair.It was peaceful, but for how long?I was no fortune teller, but the peace didn't last till the next morning. We were woken by urgent footsteps and Revik’s sharp voice slicing through the crisp morning air.“Get up. Now.”Luca and I scrambled upright, hearts pounding. “What’s happening?” I asked, shoving on my boots.“Alexa’s scouts were spotted near the southern ridge,” Revik snapped. “Too many. We've been running from them for a while now, we can't let them catch up to us. Especially now you're with us.”The camp was alive with sudden motion—fires snuffed out, gear packed, traps dismantled. The children were already being lifted onto shoulders, bags slung across backs, bows and knives clutched tight.“We leave in ten,” Rev

I feared what his response would be.Would he ask us to help him take revenge? Would he eventually discover the power I held and want to take it from me too? My mind was playing some dirty tricks on me.Revik’s lips curled into a wry smile. “You hunt with us. You move with us. You earn your place like everyone else. That’s the rule. We have no Alphas here, no betas, no titles. Only fighters.”I nodded slowly, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding, heart thudding. “We’ll do our part.”“Good,” he said, already turning away. “You’ll start tonight. You hunt what you eat. And if you hear the howls…” His voice dropped, serious now. “You run.”Luca and I spent the rest of the day learning the rhythm of the camp—how food was rationed, how lookouts rotated hourly, how even the children were trained in stealth and silence. The rogues weren’t savage. They were just... wary. Hardened by betrayal, shaped by fear.In the afternoon, I helped a woman named Lani mend a torn tent. She didn’t
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 72 : NEVER FELT SAFER!
MIRA'S POV The way he looked at me then—it wasn’t just desire. It was devotion. Like I was the miracle he’d been chasing through every nightmare.He touched me like a man starved of sunlight finally tasting warmth again. Every kiss, every caress felt like a promise. A promise that he was here, that I wasn’t alone, that we’d survived.The firelight danced across his skin, painting gold over every scar, every place that had once known pain. I watched him as he hovered over me, his breath warm against my lips, and for a moment, everything else—Alexa, the escape, the darkness—faded away.It was just him and me. “I love you,” I whispered against his neck.He stilled for half a heartbeat, then buried his face in my shoulder. “God, Mira. I love you too. I think I’ve loved you since the day you told me not to follow you, and I did it anyway.”I laughed, the sound breaking with a soft sob. “You’re a terrible listener.”“I know,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to my temple. “But I’ll never stop
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 71 : I NEEDED HIM!
MIRA’S POVThe moment the rogues surrounded us, everything in me screamed to run—but there was nowhere to go. They had us flanked on all sides, eyes glowing faintly in the firelight, teeth bared in half-curious, half-menacing smirks.Luca's hand found mine again, firm this time, no tremble. I squeezed it, trying to keep my own fear hidden. The leader stepped forward—a tall man with streaks of silver in his beard and scars carved across his bare arms. He looked like someone who had lived through a hundred battles and buried every friend he ever had."You two look like you've seen hell," he said, his voice gravelly but not entirely unkind."We have," I replied, forcing myself to look him in the eye.He tilted his head, assessing. "Names?""I'm Mira," I said. "And this is Luca."The name made one of the rogues near him grunt. "From the burnt village?"I tensed.The leader nodded slowly. "We heard rumors and whispers. Whole settlement wiped clean by a she-devil."I swallowed the lump in m
