Betrayed Luna To Alpha Queen Chapter Forty Nine
Every touch was deliberate, just shy of intimate. Laura fought to keep her breathing steady as his hands worked their way up her body, leaving red marks in their wake. When he finished, Dante sat back on his heels, admiring his work. Laura had never felt so exposed, so seen. "Now you," he said, offering her the clay pot. Laura blinked in surprise. "Me?" "It's an exchange," he explained. "I mark you, you mark me. Equal strength, equal claiming." The word 'claiming' hung in the air between them. Laura dipped her fingers into the cool clay and began tracing symbols on Dante's broad chest, copying what she had seen others doing. "Tell me what they mean," she said, drawing a curved line across his pectoral. "That one is for victory in battle," he said, watching her fingers move against his skin. She drew another across his shoulder. "And this?" "Loyalty to pack." Laura worked in silence for a moment, feeling the powerful muscles beneath her fingertips. When she reached his lower a

The walk back to camp was quiet. Most warriors were busy helping the wounded, their faces grim but proud. Laura fell into step beside Dante, their shoulders occasionally brushing as they navigated the dark forest path. "I think I've seen these things before," Laura said quietly, breaking the silence. "Not exactly the same, but similar." Dante glanced at her sharply. "Where?" "At Shadowfang territory." She kicked a stone out of her path. "Zephyr's pack had border problems too. I never did know the extent of how bad it was because you came for me." Dante's jaw tightened, but he said nothing for several steps. Finally, he asked, "Did they attack like this?" "No. Not while I was there." Laura shook her head. "But there were reports. Zephyr was worried." "You never mentioned this before." Laura shrugged. "I didn't know if it was connected. But now..." "Now it seems like more than coincidence," Dante finished for her. His golden eyes studied the forest ahead, deep in thought. Laura

"Kade, Renn," Dante barked, his voice sharp in the night air. "Flank Laura. Don't let them near her."Two wolves moved instantly to Laura's sides—Kade with his broad shoulders and Renn with his quick, watchful eyes. The pair who had accompanied Dante when he came for her in Zephyr's territory."I can fight," Laura protested, gripping her knife tighter.Dante's eyes met hers for just a second. "I know. But we don't know what these things are."The strange wolves charged without warning. They moved as one unit, their black eyes fixed on the patrol. Laura's heart hammered against her ribs as the forest erupted into chaos.A creature with matted gray fur lunged at Renn, who dodged sideways and slashed at its flank. Blood sprayed from the wound, black and thick like tar, but the wolf didn't even flinch. It turned, jaws snapping at Renn's throat.Kade was already locked in combat with another, their bodies rolling across the forest floor in a blur of teeth and claws. All around them, Crimso

Night had fallen by the time the pack meeting ended. Laura stood at the edge of the clearing, looking up at the stars, her mind racing with thoughts of empty-eyed wolves and dying trees. Something dark was coming. She could feel it in her bones."Can't sleep?" Dante's deep voice came from behind her.Laura turned to find him watching her, his golden eyes catching the moonlight. "Too much on my mind."He nodded, coming to stand beside her. For a moment, they just breathed in the night air together."You fought well during the hunt," he said finally. "But there's more I could teach you. If you want."Laura raised an eyebrow. "You think I need training?"A smile tugged at Dante's lips. "Everyone needs training. Even me.""So modest," she teased.His smile widened before turning serious again. "The Crimson Fang style is different. Raw. Instinctual." He gestured to the forest around them. "We use everything—trees, rocks, water. The land itself becomes our weapon."Laura considered his offe

Sunlight streamed through the cave entrance when Laura opened her eyes. She stretched, a smile lingering on her lips before she realized she was alone on the fur bedding. Her hand reached for Dante, finding only empty space, already cold.She sat up, wrapping a fur around her naked body. The events of last night flooded back in vivid detail—Dante's hands on her skin, his lips against her neck, the way he'd looked at her as if she were the moon itself."Get it together," she muttered, feeling her cheeks heat up.Laura stood and found her clothes neatly folded nearby. As she dressed, her body hummed with the memory of Dante's touch. Every movement reminded her of how their bodies had moved together, how he'd whispered her name like a prayer."Stop thinking about it," she told herself firmly, but her body wasn't listening.She was just pulling on her boots when Freya appeared at the cave entrance."Good morning," the healer said, eyes twinkling with knowing amusement. "Sleep well?"Laura

Inside, the cave opened into a spacious chamber. Furs covered the stone floor, and lanterns cast golden light over the walls. It was simpler than Laura had expected for an Alpha's quarters, but comfortable and warm.Dante turned to face her, his expression intense yet questioning. "We can stop," he said, though it clearly cost him to offer. "If you're not ready."Laura stepped forward, reaching up to trace the strong line of his jaw. "I don't want to stop."Something wild flashed in his eyes. He caught her hand, turning it to press a kiss to her palm. "Once we start, I don't know if I can be gentle.""I don't want gentle," Laura whispered, surprising herself with her honesty. "I want you. All of you."With a groan, Dante claimed her mouth again. This kiss was different, hungrier and more demanding. His hands roamed her body, leaving trails of fire in their wake. He backed her toward the furs, never breaking the kiss.When her knees hit the edge of the makeshift bed, Laura pulled back

They began to sway together, his body guiding hers. The drum's heartbeat pulsed in Laura's veins as Dante showed her the steps—three forward, turn, step back, arms raised to the moon."That's it," he encouraged as she matched his movements. "You dance like you were born to it."As they moved around the fire, other dancers formed pairs, mirroring their steps. The pattern grew more complex, but Laura followed instinctively, her body responding to the drums and to Dante's gentle guidance.When the dance called for partners to face each other, Laura found herself breathless at the intensity in Dante's golden eyes. His hands slid from her hips to her waist, pulling her closer as they circled each other."The final step," he said, voice husky, "is when the dancers acknowledge their connection."Slowly, deliberately, he pressed his forehead against hers. Something electric passed between them—an acknowledgment of something deeper than physical attraction. Laura's eyes fluttered closed, overw

Laura kept moving despite the throbbing pain in her leg. Each step sent fresh waves of agony up her thigh, but she refused to stop. Not when she was so close."Just a little longer," she whispered to herself, using a branch as a makeshift crutch.She glanced at the sky. The sun touched the edge of the western mountains, painting them gold and crimson. Minutes. She only needed minutes more.Behind her, she could sense Dante keeping pace, watching her struggle yet not interfering. After cleaning her wound, he'd helped her stand but hadn't tried to claim her as his prize. Instead, he'd stepped back, eyes intense as he studied her face."You're still trying to win," he'd said, somewhere between a question and a statement.Laura had lifted her chin. "I'm going to win."Now, limping through the forest, she heard him a few paces behind her. Close enough to catch her if she fell, far enough to give her the choice to finish on her own.When they reached the edge of the clearing where the chall

Laura dragged herself onto the rocky riverbank, her body shivering uncontrollably. The icy water had numbed her skin, but it couldn't numb the searing pain from the deep gash on her thigh. She must have hit a rock during her wild ride downstream."Stupid, stupid," she muttered through chattering teeth.Blood trickled down her leg, mixing with river water. Laura pressed her palm against the wound, wincing at the sharp sting. It was deep—too deep to ignore.She glanced at the sky. The sun hovered just above the mountain peaks. Another hour, maybe less, and she would win. All she had to do was stay hidden until then.But the blood...Laura knew what blood meant in a forest full of predators. It was like ringing a dinner bell.Or worse, it was a beacon leading Dante straight to her.Gritting her teeth, Laura tore a strip from the bottom of her shirt. She wrapped it tightly around her thigh, but the makeshift bandage quickly soaked through with red."Come on," she hissed, applying more pre
