Chapter 5 – The Executive Suite

last update Tanggal publikasi: 2026-03-21 12:58:19

The apex of the Howlstone building was no mere residence, it was a fortress of gleaming glass and dark stone, an impenetrable citadel that loomed over the city like a watchful guardian.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, spilling molten gold and bruised purple across the skyline, I found myself standing in the heart of a living space that seemed to swallow my entire past. My few boxes, plain and sparse compared to the elegant designer furniture, had already been unpacked and n

  • 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

    Inzinga’s Point of View againSuddenly, a heavy, rhythmic bass line exploded from the jukebox against the wall, cutting through the pub’s chatter like a thunderclap. The pounding beat electrified the air, drawing cheers from the younger crowd. The shift in energy was instantaneous."I’m setting up

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 21 - The Silver Kettle

    I knew it wasn't a coincidence the moment the heavy brass handle of The Silver Kettle gave way under my grip, throwing a wall of warm air, spilled beer, and loud laughter directly into my face.Steel had directed me here, tracking Inzinga's scent through the stone corridors of the packhouse and str

    Alpha Oney’s Perspective …From the elevated platform of the eastern training ring, the world looked exactly as it should, structured, disciplined, and entirely under my control.But as I stood beside Jace, my mind remained stuck on the anomaly that had just walked out of my sight."She’s hiding so

    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
