last update วันที่เผยแพร่: 2026-02-12 21:49:39

The double doors to the canteen swung open, and the usual midday roar of voices hit me like a solid wall. Selima did not let go of my arm, she steered me through the crowd with a mission-driven focus.

“Look, he’s over there,” she hissed, nodding toward the center of the room.

“I see him, Selima. It’s hard to miss the sun when it’s shining,” I replied, my voice trembling as I watched Uriel sitting at a central table.

He was surrounded by the ‘elites’, the athletes and the socialites whose parent

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 30 – On The Road to Revenge

    The training ground had become a gauntlet of nerves, not because of the demanding strain, but because of the way the Alpha systematically dismantled my defenses.He was playing a game I wasn't equipped to win. During our drills, he would close the distance until his breath caressed against my temple, his hand lingering just a second too long on my hip, seducing me with a closeness that made my blood race with fire. Then, just as the tension threatened to snap, he would retreat to a safe distance, watching with that sharp, satisfied smirk how I struggled to get myself together. It wasn't just the man, his wolf was actively hunting mine. Diamond was restless, pacing behind the bars of my consciousness, purring at his presence, lured by the sheer, unadulterated charm he exuded. My flesh was becoming agonizingly weak. I found myself craving the heat of his arms, the pressure of his touch, and the terrifying safety of his protection. Every time his skin brushed mine, it was

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 29 - Under the Microscope

    The week following the bout in the Pit was a surreal blur.The pack’s demeanor toward me had shifted from speculative curiosity to a wary, almost heavy-handed respect. It wasn't the kind of warmth you’d find in a normal home, but the nod of a warrior acknowledging another. I walked through the halls, and the conversations would die down, replaced by lowered eyes and quick steps to clear a path.Seth and Maya had become my best of friends.After I’d soundly dismantled the pack’s ‘elites’, Seth seemed to have developed a weird, puppy-like admiration for my technique, while Maya, bless her soul , had become my primary shield against the rest of the pack’s politics. They were always there: in the mess hall, near the barracks, or just sitting in my apartment while I tried to keep my head down and my secrets buried.Then, the official decree came down from the upper levels: I was to report to the training grounds every morning, without exception. To make sure I wouldn't have any excuses, t

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 28 - Too Close

    The infirmary felt too clean, too quiet, a jarring shift from the violence of the Pit.The scent of antiseptic and fresh linen filled the room, but they couldn’t cover the sharp trace of silver still burning through my veins. The young physician, a nervous wolf who clearly wished he were anywhere else, scrubbed the gash in my side with painful precision.I sat on the edge of the metal examination table, my hands gripped so tightly in my lap that my knuckles were bone-white. The door jerked open, and the temperature in the room plummeted.The Alpha didn't just walk in, he commanded the space, his presence acting like a magnet that drew all the remaining oxygen out of the room. His eyes were locked onto me, tracking the way my tunic clung to the fresh bandages."Out," he commanded in a tone that brooked no argument.The physician fled for the door, and the silence that followed felt crushing.He moved to the observation room, a glass-walled annex that overlooked the training grounds. Su

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 27 - The Silver Sting

    The sharp bite of silver hung in the air, twisting the sticky summer heat into something almost unbearable. Breathing came rough, every draw scraping at my chest. Without Diamond’s strength running through me, my body dragged like it was stitched together with stone.Still, the instincts I’d carried long before I understood what it meant to be a wolf stayed razor-sharp, refusing to dull.As Nahash drove the blade toward my heart, the world tilted into a slow motion. I couldn't block the steel, the mere proximity of the toxin made my muscles unresponsive, a traitorous mutiny within my own frame. Instead, I twisted, my boots sliding on the grit of the pit. The blade grazed my side, slicing through my worn tunic and biting deep into the soft flesh just above my ribs. The searing, acidic sting of the silver was instantaneous, a white-hot trail of agony that sapped the remaining sensation from my left arm.I let out a strangled cry, not of defeat, but of pure, cold focus.Nahash, emboldene

    "Yield," I commanded.Seth tapped the stone floor twice, coughing as he raised his hands."I yield," he choked out."First bout to Inzinga," the Head Warrior called out from the edge of the ring, his voice laced with a sudden, sharp curiosity.I took a slow breath, refusing to let my chest heave as I stepped back to my corner. High above, Alpha Oney didn't break his stoic expression, but his eyes narrowed slightly, tracking the exact efficiency of my movement."Second bout," the announcer shouted. "Marcus of the Delta Lineage."Marcus didn't waste time with apologies.He stepped into the ring like a juggernaut, his massive frame casting a long shadow across the stone. He didn't drop into a hasty charge like Seth; he circled me slowly, his eyes tracking the way I shifted my weight, looking for any sign of weakness."You're good, girl," Marcus acknowledge as we circled each other in the suffocating heat. "Better than any rogue I've ever seen. But Seth relies too much on his eyes. I rely

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 25 - The Fight

    Heat clung to the training grounds from first light, rising off the red earth and mixing with sweat the nervous energy of the crowd.Half the White Fangs pack had turned out.They lined the perimeter of the primary combat ring, a deeply recessed bowl carved out of black basalt rock, worn smooth by centuries of territorial challenges and warrior evaluations.The Obsidian Pit.I stood at the northern edge of the stone ring, stretching my arms across my chest, feeling the deep, familiar ache in my core. My body wasn’t fully healed from the ordeal that had brought me to this territory, but my wolf, Diamond, was awake, pacing behind my ribs, her ancient instincts thrumming with lethal anticipation.‘No shifting,’ I reminded her firmly, keeping a tight, iron grip on our shared consciousness. ‘If we shift, we show them the size of our aura. We show Oney what we used to be. Keep it human and hidden.’"You don't have to do this, Inzinga," Seth muttered, stepping up beside me.He looked entirel

    Walking through the estate’s vast hallways, I couldn’t help but feel like I’d stepped into some kind of secret society, or maybe a really exclusive club where every move was deliberate and every glance was loaded with meaning.The floors echoed beneath our footsteps, and the way the others moved, s

    Standing in front of the mirror, the full-length kind in the master bathroom, I was adjusting the lapels of my dark suit.It was a typical ‘power outfit’, the kind that practically screams, I have a plan, I know what I’m doing, and I definitely know where my birth certificate is. After a night fill

    Rapha’s lips crashed into mine, rich with the taste of wine and bold certainty, while Nisi’s hands seared heat into my waist.“Let yourself fall, baby,” Rapha coaxed, his words a spell. “You taste like you’re ours already.”“We’ll catch you,” Nisi promised.In that instant, their pull nearly silenc

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 3 - The Monday Morning Audit

    Sunday passed in a strange, golden haze of bliss.I didn't leave the apartment once, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t feel the itch to check my work email or organize my closet. I spent the entire day on the floor or the sofa, buried under a mountain of blankets and two very large, very
