Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim 126
Elena pov The mountain was silent now. The echo of the creature’s collapse had faded into the thin wind, and all that remained was the hush that followed, power-like, the earth was holding its breath again. I wasn’t. I was breathing hard, chest rising and falling in uneven gasps as I stumbled back from the hollow. My knees trembled, and my arms ached as if I'd just carried something impossibly heavy. Because maybe I had. That… thing—that fragment—had melted into me. Become part of me. I could still feel it, a strange warmth humming low in my belly, threading through my blood like wildfire. Not painful. Not kind either. Old. Awake. Watching. “Elena!” Lykan’s voice reached me as his arms did—strong and steady, catching me before my legs could give out. “I’m okay,” I whispered. But I wasn’t sure I meant it. He guided me down gently, helping me sit on a nearby stone where the snow had already melted in a perfect ring around me. From the heat? From the magic? I didn’t know anym
Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim 125
Elena POV The morning sun did little to warm us. It hovered pale and distant over the peaks, casting long shadows through the pines and bathing the rocky slope in cold light. The wind screamed as it rushed between narrow crevices, and snow clung to the ground in stubborn patches, crunching underfoot as we began the climb. We moved in a single file, the silence between us broken only by Aurora’s occasional spellwork, a whispered enchantment to reveal hidden footholds or keep the frost from numbing our hands. Scarlet moved like she’d been born in the mountains, steady and sure. Dominic was… very elegant. “I am not built for this,” he grumbled, slipping for the fifth time. “Can someone remind me again why I couldn’t stay back and guard the tents?” “Because you eat too much to just sit around,” Aurora muttered, casting a glowing rune onto the rock wall. Dominic grunted. “You act like it’s a crime to enjoy soup.” “You act like you were raised by soup.” Despite everything,

Elena pov The map of the northern range lay spread across the old war table like a canvas of secrets. I had studied it for hours, my eyes scanning every mountain path, every faded rune and mark from a time before mine. The ink had worn thin in places, curling at the edges from the cold creeping into the room. I should have been resting. But sleep never came easily. Not with moirea in my blood. I had seen this mad a thousand times growing up. Heck, I could even draw it with my eyes closed. I traced the curve of a ridge near the top of the map, Lupin’s Teeth, they called it. A jagged line of mountains known for deadly winds and unstable cliffs. No one dared go past them unless they had a death wish or something to prove. But my fingers kept drifting there. Something about the space between those peaks pulled at me like gravity. My head dipped forward. The warmth from the small fire in the hearth and the steady rhythm of my own breath blurred the map beneath me. My vis

Scarlet Pov The night was sharp, cold enough to bite, but the magic we were drawing into the earth felt warmer than fire. Aurora knelt beside me, her fingers stained with ash and chalk as she sketched the final arc of the rune circle. Dominic stood on the other side, holding a lantern, the golden light flickering across his face and catching the edges of his jaw like firelight on a blade. I’d never seen anyone work so hard for something they didn’t fully understand. Dominic wasn’t a witch. Not born of spells or prophecy. He didn’t have the blood for it. But he gave himself anyway holding the tools, carrying the bags, fetching water, braving the wind when others ducked for cover. He bickered with Aurora like it was his life’s mission, calling her every sarcastic name under the moon. But he never once let her walk alone in the woods, never let anyone else light her fire when she was too tired to conjure sparks. And when she wasn’t looking, he smiled like he was proud of her
Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim 122
Elena pov After Lykan helped me sit up and sip some warm tea, we returned to the others at the base camp near the ridge. The fire was burning low, casting gold light against the snow, and everyone looked up the moment we arrived—relief breaking across their faces in waves. Aurora, Scarlet, Sylvester, Dominic, and all of them stopped what they were doing. “She’s awake,” Lykan announced. Aurora stood quickly, brushing snow from her sleeves. “Goddess, we thought—” “I’m fine,” I said gently, though my voice was still soft, still frayed. “Just… a lot happened.” They gathered around quickly. Concerned faces. Tension still hangs in the air like frost. I sat on a thick fur near the fire, Lykan beside me, close but silent. Watching. “I need to tell you all what I saw.” And I did. I told them everything. From the moment I followed the voice through the forest to the clearing… the blooming lotus… the smoke that swallowed me whole… and Ethereal. I told them about the temple the way i
Betrayed Luna: The Alpha's Claim 121
Elena pov When the white faded, I wasn’t in the forest anymore. The cold was gone. The wind. The snow. The tension is humming in the air. All of it had been replaced by a stillness so deep it felt like the world had exhaled for the first time in centuries. I stood barefoot in a place that defied reality. It looked like a ruined temple, ancient and carved from silver stone that shimmered like starlight. Vines of crystal threaded through cracked pillars. Flowers bloomed in the air—not on the ground, in the air—suspended as if gravity was merely a suggestion. A shallow pool of glowing water stretched ahead of me, reflecting a night sky that wasn’t above but within it. And silence. A silence that wasn’t empty. It was full. Of memory. Of waiting. And in the centre, just as before, stood her. Ethereal. The same silhouette I’d seen in the smoke—only now fully formed. She was taller than I expected, towering yet graceful, with skin like moonstone and eyes like the void between
