Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim 210
Dino POV After telling my people that I would go for Sophia alone, the air in the room seemed to freeze. Their eyes widened as if I had just declared I was walking into the jaws of death, shock, and worry. A silence heavy enough to crush words before they could be spoken. They didn’t understand at first, and I couldn’t blame them. To them, this was reckless borderline madness. But to me, this wasn’t just a mission. It wasn’t politics or pack strategy. This was personal. This was my fight, my heart’s last stand, and I had to fight it alone. I appreciate your concern, I’d told them, meeting each gaze with steady resolve. But this is not a battle to be fought with claws and teeth, it’s a battle of the heart. And that, I touched my chest, feeling the slow, heavy thud of my pulse, is mine alone to win. Even then, I could see the doubt in their eyes, the fear that I would come back empty-handed or not come back at all. One by one, they stepped forward, giving their goodbyes, not the c
Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim 209
Sophia’s POV The wooden bench beneath me felt colder than it should have, the grain pressing against the back of my legs as I shifted uncomfortably. I had been sitting there for what felt like forever, the distant murmurs of guards moving about the palace corridors echoing faintly in the background. I clasped my hands together in my lap to still their fidgeting, telling myself that any moment now, they would return with Elena. Any moment now. But as the minutes bled into what felt like hours, my heart began to twist with uncertainty. Why are they taking so long? Did they even go to call her, or did they decide, without even telling me, that I wasn’t worth the trouble? The thought lodged itself in my chest like a thorn. I tried to shake it off, but it kept creeping back, heavier each time. My stomach churned, not from hunger, but from that gnawing ache of dread and anticipation. I wanted to believe they were delayed, maybe they couldn’t find her, but a darker voice in my head whi

Dino’s POV The elderly woman, whom we would later learn was Sophia’s mother, welcomed us into her home with a gentle smile. Her eyes carried the warmth of someone who had seen many seasons, yet there was a certain guardedness in them, as though life had taught her that not every visitor came bearing good news. When her gaze fell on Lady Evelyn, recognition flickered in her expression like a candle suddenly catching light. Evelyn? she breathed, her face softening. Yes, longest time, Lady Evelyn replied warmly, stepping forward. The two women embraced, holding on for a few moments longer than mere politeness required. It was the kind of hug that carried the weight of shared memories, of years gone by, of lives that had taken them down different paths yet somehow brought them face to face again. You can all make yourselves comfortable, Sophia’s mother finally said, gesturing toward a modest wooden sitting area. Thank you, ma, we chorused almost in unison. We sat down, the old chai
Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim 207
Sophia’s POV The journey had been anything but easy. The path from my kingdom to the Northern Range Pack might have been short compared to the treacherous trek to the Black Mountain Pack, but my body did not care for comparisons. My muscles screamed with every step. My bones felt like they were weighed down by stones. I could almost hear my heartbeat in my ears, a dull, rhythmic pounding that matched the horse’s hooves as we rode on. Dust clung to my face like a second skin, and my lips were cracked from the dry wind. If it hadn’t been for the dried meat and flour bread my mother had pressed into my hands before I left, her eyes shining with unspoken worry, I might have collapsed days ago. Those humble provisions had kept me from fainting in the middle of the road, and each time I chewed a piece of that bread, I could almost feel her presence beside me, whispering, You can do this, Sophia, you must. I shifted uncomfortably in the saddle, my body swaying with the rhythm of the hors

Evelyn’s POV The early afternoon sun poured in through the palace windows, bathing the sitting room in a golden warmth. I had just settled into my chair with a cup of spiced tea when I heard hurried footsteps coming down the hallway. It was the kind of rush that made you instinctively look up, expecting trouble or news. Sure enough, Lilian and Alpha Dino appeared at the doorway, their expressions a mix of determination and something else I couldn’t quite name. Dino’s jaw was tight, his eyes darting everywhere except directly at me, while Lilian seemed almost too amused for the situation. Evelyn, Lilian started, barely containing her smile, do you know where Sophia’s family village is located? I blinked, stunned at the question. Of all the things they could come asking me in the middle of the day, this one was not on my list. My fingers paused on the rim of my teacup. Why are you asking? I said slowly, my gaze narrowing in curiosity. Before Dino could answer, Lilian jumped in to
Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim 205
Sophia’s POV The air in my room was thick, almost suffocating, as if it knew what I was about to do. A strange stillness had fallen over the house since my conversation with my parents, like the walls themselves were holding their breath. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the open suitcase in front of me. The clothes I had laid out were a jumbled mess, half neatly folded, half thrown in without care like my thoughts. My hands moved mechanically, folding a sweatpant, smoothing out the creases, but my mind was already far ahead of me. I was at Elena’s door in my imagination, fingers hovering over the wood, unsure whether to knock or turn and run. And then I saw her face, which I remembered from the last time. No smile, no warmth, just that guarded look in her eyes, like she had built a fortress around herself and thrown away the key. The memory made my stomach tighten into a painful knot. I told myself not to think about it, but the thoughts kept coming. What if she does
