Chapter 5 – A Solitary Bridge Crossed

Auteur: Florence Su
last update Date de publication: 2026-02-16 21:58:35

The drive to his estate was a blurred fever dream of city lights and the heavy, electric silence that followed an admission of desire. The air inside the car was thick and hungry, vibrating with the weight of everything we had just done—and everything we were about to do.

Uriel kept one hand on the wheel, but his other found mine. He entwined our fingers, his grip firm as if he wanted to keep us tethered to the earth. Without taking his eyes off the road, he brought my hand to his lips. He kiss

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 6 – The Marrow Arrived

    Time is a cruel thief when you’re waiting for the end of the world, or the beginning of a new one.The weeks had bled into a blur of grey skies and bone-deep exhaustion.Living in a cave on neutral ground while carrying an Alpha’s heir is not the romantic ‘return to nature’ some might imagine. Believe me, it is a gritty, relentless slog.Since Diamond refused to shift, my hunting options were limited to what a human woman with a growing belly and a persistent limp could manage. I had become a master of the primitive. I spent my days checking crude snares for rabbits and using a sharpened spear to poke at fish in the shallows.It was enough to stop the hunger pangs, but it wasn’t enough to nourish an unborn wolf.I could feel the lack of nutrition in my brittle teeth and in the dullness of my hair. I needed the strength only a pack‑kill could provide, the fresh vegetables, the mineral‑rich meat but there was no pack to protect me in this condition. There was only me, a pile of dried be

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 5 – A Heartbeat

    Three weeks is a lifetime when you’re living on nothing but creek water and old grudges.After mating Ahri, I had fled deeper into the forest, carefully erasing my trail so he would believe Raskha had been the one to lead him there. And eventually I found refuge in the far eastern corner of the neutral territory, a place where danger lingered but boundaries offered a fragile shield. I knew a pack was nearby, yet as long as I did not cross their border, I believed I would remain safe.This cave I claimed was no different from the others I had hidden in before, but over time it ceased to feel like a tomb and began to resemble something closer to a home, or at least a lair carved out of necessity.I built a routine that kept the madness at bay, a pattern of survival stitched together from repetition and silence, each task dulling the sharp edges of loneliness until the emptiness itself became another companion I learned to endure.Every morning, I’d track the perimeter of the zone, makin

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 4 - Under a Blood Moon

    The clearing stank of sweat and fur, the pack restless under the crimson moon as if the night itself demanded blood.Ahri sat at the head of the grand table, looking every bit the king of a rotting empire. He was restless, his fingers tapping a frantic cadence against the wood, his eyes tracking Raskha’s every move. He was ready to hunt. He was ready to claim a legacy he was not worth of.From my place in the shadows, I watched Britni move with practiced ease, weaving through the crowd with a tray of crystal glasses. She looked calm, yet through our thin mind link I could feel her heart pounding against her ribs, her anxiety vibrating faintly in the back of my skull, but she did not falter and she did not stumble.She reached the head table just as Ahri stood to signal the start of the ritual."Alpha," Britni’s voice was smooth, pitched just right to catch his attention without raising his guard. "A suggestion for the night's festivities? Something to amplify the mood for the pack's n

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 3 - Sins of the Moonlight

    The North Gate was a relic of a time when the pack feared outsiders more than their own.Now, it was just a stretch of rotting timber and rusted iron, a blind spot in the Moonlight Howl’s perimeter.I crawled through the shadows, my body caught in the uncomfortable middle-ground of a half-shift. Diamond was restless, her fur prickling against my skin, her instincts screaming at me to cross the line and surrender to the madness of the Blood Moon.I stayed inches from the border.Caution was now required, because if even one paw touched that soil, the border patrol would sense me immediately, and the revelation of a woman they believed dead would spread through them like an alarm. As Alpha, Ahri’s golden aura was sharp enough to detect me before I could flee a single step.The heat in my blood surged like a relentless tide, a throbbing pulse that made every movement an exercise in agony. My plan was desperate, born of a grudge, but it was all I had.To survive, I needed to get to him.T

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 2 - The Red Hunger

    Waking up didn't feel like a miracle. Instead, it unfolded as a cruel parody of survival, a sick joke played at my expense.My first breath was a rough intake of damp soil and the copper stench of my own blood. I was face-down in the sludge of the ravine, my cheek pressed against a mossy root that felt like a cold, dead finger. For a long time, I just stayed there, waiting for the darkness to take me back. But the void was gone, replaced by a grey, weeping dawn filtering through the thick canopy of the North Ridge.I had crawled back from the edge of nothing, dragged into rebirth though I had never asked for such a privilege.As the fog in my brain cleared, the memory of the blade returned, sharp and vivid. I could still feel the silver sliding into my throat, turning my blood to liquid fire. But it wasn't the pain that stayed with me. It was the image of Ahri afterward.Before the guards had dragged my seizing body away, I had seen it all.Ahri didn't look away, nor did he show any r

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Book 4; Chapter 1 – The Wrong Twin

    Rebirth in Blood: Vengeance in the MarrowBook 4; Chapter 1 – The Wrong TwinThe moonlight no longer felt like a blessing.It was a cold spotlight illuminating the ruins of a life I’d spent twenty-one years building.I didn’t knock.No, an Alpha’s mate doesn't ask for permission to enter her own mate’s office. But as the doors swung open, the air rolling out was pregnant with the taint of lust, a cloying heat that made my skin crawl before my eyes could even process what was playing out in front of me.The sight pierced me, sharp and merciless.No other than my twin sister, Raskha, was tangled in my fated mate’s arms, her back arched over his mahogany desk. His large, calloused hands, the same hands that had traced my spine this morning, were buried in her hair, pulling her head back as his mouth worked hungrily at the curve of her throat.Raskha’s breathless moans ricocheted off the stone walls, a melodic sound that shattered the silence of my heart.For a heartbeat, the world went

    The following week was a whirlwind of hushed conversations in the back of the library and texting during lectures. The four of us—Uriel, Michael, Selima, and I—had become an inseparable unit, a tiny island in the middle of the campus chaos.But the weekend plan Uriel had proposed was the only way w

    The morning air was crisp as Selima’s car pulled into my driveway at exactly 7:30 AM. I had spent the night tossing and turning, caught between the memory of Uriel’s touch and the grainy image of that anonymous text. As I climbed into the passenger seat, Selima gave me a long, hard look."You look

    I picked the phone up from the carpet, my heart still racing, and deleted the message from the unknown number. I didn't want to look at it. I didn't want it to be real. I needed to drown out that cold voice with someone who actually cared about me.I went back to the chat with Selima. The three lit

    The late afternoon sun was hanging low in the sky, painting the basketball court in heavy, liquid strokes of gold.Every bounce of the ball echoed against the weathered brick walls of the gymnasium like a heartbeat, rhythmic and insistent. Michael was loud, his laughter booming across the asphalt a
