Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 33 - Unsettled Debts
The Alpha stood way too close to me, and I could barely hid the heat that was crawling through my system.I really don’t know how he does this, but every time he was near, it was like the same feeling I’d had the first time I’d met Ahri. We were young then, and the mate bond hadn't fully bloomed, but there was a promise hanging between us that we couldn’t deny. We knew what was coming.But Diamond was silent.She never mentioned the Alpha as our fated mate, although she couldn't, not while the mark of Ahri was still there. Ahri, my murderer, the one who’d promised to keep me safe was the one who threw me into the ravine.But with this man, the air between us felt charged, ready to ignite. I could feel it in my smallest toe. He was impatient, our wolves, smitten with each other, forever nuzzling.“Why are you this close to the Moonlight Howl’s border, and why were you in such a casual talk with one of the pack members?” the Alpha asked in a dark tone. “Your scent is not
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 32 - Cracks in the Foundation
Britni’s words pressed into me, heavy as a stone lodged in my lungs.If Raskha was hunting the ‘architect’ of my return, she was digging into a grave that should have remained sealed. I instinctively touched the faint mark on my shoulder, a remnant of the tether that had once linked me to my mate. It throbbed, not with pain, but with a dull pulse because of proximity."What about Ahri?" I asked. "If the tether between us is still active, he has to feel it too. He can’t be that oblivious."Britni shook her head, her expression grim. She pulled her knees to her chest, her eyes distant as if she were seeing things that weren't there."He hasn't been seen in public since the last pack run. Raskha tells everyone he’s swamped with administrative duties, preparing for a major pack meeting, but the mood in the house is frantic. The pack feels the link with him flickering, like he’s… stalling. Or starving. Everyone is waiting for that meeting, terrified of what he’s going to announce. It’s lik
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 31 – Raskha Knows
The border of the Moonlight Howl territory was a place where the trees seemed to lean away from the oppressive energy of my former home.Instead of just approaching, I surrendered to the earth. I submerged myself in a bank of cold, stagnant mud, coating my skin and hair until my own scent was buried under the pungent reek of rot and wet soil. It was an indignity, but in this game, masking myself was the difference between a successful strike and a shallow grave.I crawled to a limestone ridge that offered an unobstructed view of the packhouse.The familiar structure loomed in the valley, its windows glaring like dead eyes. Young warriors, barely out of their transition, moved with a cocky, unrefined energy, patrolling the grounds with spears and arrogance. I watched for minutes, eyes narrowed, searching for a flash of silver hair or a familiar, cruel gait. Ahri was nowhere to be found, and Raskha, my twin, was equally absent.My time was slipping away, sixty minutes and I had already
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 19 - The Sudden Invitation
Slowly I pushed myself up, wiping a smear of dirt from my cheek, and looked up at the platform to see the Alpha’s reaction.My breath caught.He was staring directly down at me. His arms were still crossed, but his head was tilted slightly, his dark eyes narrowed into piercing slits. There was no d
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 16- The Quiet War
As evening bled into the sky, painting the courtyard in deep, bruising shades of purple, a knock rattled my door. I opened it to find Jace standing there.The captivated, easygoing boy I had seen in the kitchen hours ago was completely gone. In his place stood a man who fully looke
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 15 - Spitting Fire
The sudden frost in the room was so sharp it almost made my skin prickle."Oh, look who finally decided to crawl back to civilization," Mama Tina sighed, though her voice instantly softened with that fierce, maternal indulgence.She wiped her hands on her apron and gestured toward the newcomer with
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 14 - Vodka and Viciousness
I followed him back down the stairs, twisting through a labyrinth of hallways until the rich, savory smell of roasting meat and fresh herbs hit my nose.My stomach let out a loud, embarrassing growl.Jace laughed, pushing open a set of swinging metal doors into a massive, industrial-sized kitchen.
