Lena POV

Rhea’s arms wrapped around me so tight, I thought she might squeeze the full life out of me.

For a second, I couldn’t even breathe.

And then that familiar scent of hers hit me so hard, the tears threatened to slip off.

I buried my face into her shoulder before she could see the way my eyes burned.

“Lena,” she whispered to my ear. Her arms tightened. “You’re real.”

I let out a breath. “Last time I checked.”

She pulled back just enough to look at me, her hands still gripping my arms.

Her eyes scanned my face, maybe too carefully.

“You look…” She hesitated. “kinda different.”

“Is that healer-speak for terrible?” I muttered. “Or you're just trying to be kind.”

That earned a soft and shaky laugh from her.

“No. Gods, no. Just maybe a little, thought. But if anything you look sharper than ever.”

I swallowed a huge lump in my throat unsure of what to even say.

She hugged me again, tighter this time, and I let myself melt into it.

I hadn’t realized how much I've missed this war

  • Bound By The Moon's Curse    CHAPTER TWENTY

    LENA’S POVMoonfang’s gates loomed ahead of us, carved from old stone and wolf-bone, familiar enough that my chest tightened before I even stepped through them.The moment we crossed the threshold, the scent hit me first, that all too familiar pine fresh scent.And almost immediately, a massive noise hit me.A loud roar.Not of anger… but rather a welcome.Wolves of my pack lined both sides of the path leading into the heart of the territory, standing shoulder to shoulder and with their fists striking chests proudly and their voices rising in cheers and howls that echoed through the night. “Lena!!” “Lena!!”Their voices thundered through as some shouted my name and others simply raised their hands in salute. Torches flared brighter as if the pack itself had leaned closer.I stopped dead.“What—” I turned to my father, stunned by the sight in front of me. “What is all this?”Elias didn’t slow. His mouth twitched and now he could barely contained the pride. “What kind of pack welcomes

    LENA’S POVThe clearing I stood in, felt wrong, in every single way possible.It wasn't hostile, it was much worse than that. It felt like a near pin drop away from exploding and chaos erupting. Ironclaw stood to one side, disciplined and silent, their lines clean and controlled. Moonfang gathered opposite them, looser and much restless. The space between them was wide enough to be a battlefield, narrow enough to ignite.And I stood right in the middle of it.I barely registered the sound of boots or the weight of eyes until I saw him.My father.Elias Carter stood just beyond the Moonfang line, tall and unyielding as ever, his silver-streaked hair pulled back, his shoulders squared as if he’d walked into this clearing ready to tear it apart. For a heartbeat, he didn’t move.Neither did I.We stared at each other across the space like the last survivors of a burning house. And then slowly but surely we began to take careful steps across the other as the rest of the field watched

  • Bound By The Moon's Curse    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

    LENA’S POVI was still suffocating.There was air in the room, but it was like my nose and mouth put a blockade. My lungs burned with every failed attempt to drag air in, my chest convulsing as panic clawed up my throat.No… not again.Eion? That was the first thought that came to my mind. I tried to move, but my body barely responded. My back slammed against the cold stone floor as something unseen pinned me there, pressing down on me. But this time, the pressure wasn’t crushing my bones.It was crushing my breath.My vision blurred at the edges. I clawed at the floor uselessly, my fingers scraping against stone. My mouth opened in a silent gasp, my throat burning as darkness crept closer.Adrian was right.I couldn't take care of myself on this. I needed them, I needed him. I never even made it out of the pack yet and I was about to die.The pressure tightened.My ears rang.And then… Bang.The door slammed open so hard it rattled the walls.The pressure shattered instantly.

  • Bound By The Moon's Curse    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

    LENA POV The sound that tore out of my throat wasn’t a scream.It was something rawer and feral.But, Adrian moved before I could even process what was happening.One second, two bodies were charging at me, their faces tinged with hate and rage that I've hardly seen before, their boots pounding on the ground and then, in the next, the world around me shifted. The sudden shift of power shook me off and when my vision cleared, Adrian had them both.One fist around each of their throats.He’d lifted them off the ground as if they weighed nothing. Their feet dangled inches above the stone, their toes flicking uselessly, their bodies jerking as they clawed at his wrists. “They touched you,” he said, voice terrifyingly calm.“No, they didn't…” I answered, my voice small, smaller than I would have liked. One of the attackers choked struggling for air, his nails digging into Adrian’s forearm. “We.. we were ordered—I swear—”Adrian’s fingers tightened around thier necks, the small air the

  • Bound By The Moon's Curse    CHAPTER SIXTEEN

    LENA’S POVThe door flew open.I jerked upright so fast my head spun, my heart slamming hard enough to hurt. For a split second, instinct screamed attack… my wolf already snapping awake under my skin.Then I saw him.Kai. He stood in the doorway, one hand resting against the frame, his expression unreadable.I let out a sharp breath. “What is it now?”He didn’t answer immediately, the anger already bubbling up only increased.“What,” I repeated, bitter this time, “are you here to bring me food like a good little jailer? Or is it another needle? Because if it’s the needle, at least have the decency to warn me first.”His jaw flexed. “You’re not a prisoner.”I let out a sharp and humorless laugh. “Funny. Because prisoners wake up drugged and locked in rooms they didn’t choose, with guards outside their doors.”“You weren’t locked in—”“Oh, don’t,” I snapped. “Don’t try to dress it up. You injected me, Kai. You held me down and stuck something in my neck because I wanted to leave.”“Yo
