LOGINThe queen was summoned to the Lycan King’s hall after word of the events at Asterra Lake, and several other startling revelations reached him.
The moment she stepped out of Gwen’s chamber, she made her way to the hall.
The king was seated in the same chair he always occupied when the queen entered, as though he had been expecting her. The coldness between them remained unchanged, an invisible wall built over years of pain and resentment. It wasn’t s
“What if he’s just bluffing?” Alpha Kaelen asked as soon as I announced my decision to go to the Black Forest and investigate the place where Lucian’s mother’s body had supposedly been found. “I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens,” I replied without hesitation. “You can’t be serious!” His voice rose, and his Alpha aura flared with his displeasure. I clenched my jaw, irritated by his attempt to intimidate me. “I am the Alpha of this territory, and you are Alpha Lucian’s mate. As long as you’re within my borders, your safety is my responsibility! I won’t allow you to put yourself in danger without considering the consequences. My word is final here.” “Gwen…” Kira’s voice was softer than her husband’s, though her expression remained troubled. “Alpha Kaelen has a point. All we have is information from the Head Council. We don’t know if it’s true, and we can’t afford to trust him blindly.” “But this isn’t just some rumor to my family and me. You heard what he said. He calle
The head council was summoned to appear before us. I arrived with Alpha Kaelen and his mate, Kira, along with Amanda and the beta of their pack. When he was brought in and saw who was waiting for him, the corner of his lips curled into a smirk. “I never realized I was such an important figure. So, what do you need from me?” he asked, his gaze lingering on Kira. I stepped forward, unwilling to waste time on his arrogance. “Where is the Alpha King’s mother? Alpha Derrick’s first mate?” He scoffed, looking utterly unimpressed. “I want to speak with the Alpha King himself. I won’t answer any of your questions. If you want the information I possess, only the Alpha King can grant me my freedom in exchange.” Kaelen’s hands curled into fists, his wolf clearly agitated by the head council’s insolence. However, Kira was the first to speak. “Alpha Lucian wouldn’t waste a second of his time on you, let alone consider freeing a wretched wolf like you.” “He would if he wanted to know what
[Gwyneth]It was impossible to pretend I hadn’t heard what the head council member of Thornfell Territory had said.Nevertheless, I decided to give Alpha Kaelen and Kira some time alone to focus on their pregnancy. They had been through enough, and they deserved a moment to themselves.Later, Kira came to find me in the healing den, where I was helping Amanda sort through the medicines needed for Alpha Kaelen’s recovery.“Are you two, okay?”“We’re going back to Verge City,” I replied seriously. “My children need me, too. Now that Alpha Kaelen is recovering, I can leave knowing you’re safe here.”Through the window, I spotted their Alpha standing outside the healing den, issuing orders to the warriors and pack members gathered nearby. His expression was stern as he made sure everything was being taken care o
The head council shifted back into his human form and crumpled to the floor, clutching the arm Alpha Kaelen had bitten.A vicious growl rumbled from deep in Kaelen’s throat as he stepped in front of me, his broad frame shielding me from harm. I could feel the heat radiating off his skin through the bond.“You thought I wouldn’t survive what you did to me, so you took the opportunity to twist the truth!” Kaelen snarled, his golden eyes blazing with fury. “You thought your position would protect you, but you never expected the entire pack to believe their Luna instead!”Relief surged through me, and tears stung my eyes. My mate was finally awake, and judging by the strength in his voice and the fierce aura radiating from him, he was recovering well.“A-Alpha!” The head council stared at him in utter disbelief.“I can confirm everything the Luna has said! Every piece o
The council members turned to look at me.“Where is the Alpha, my Luna?” the Gamma asked.“At the healing den,” I answered calmly.“There! The Alpha is there because the Luna poisoned him!” the Head Council immediately accused, pointing at me.“My nephew could already be dead by now! That’s why the Luna is hiding what happened to him! We haven’t heard a single word from the Alpha in the past two days!” Kaelen’s aunt shouted, her voice cracking with theatrical grief.“Gamma, Council members, we demand that the Luna be punished and that a thorough investigation be conducted into what happened to the Alpha! We cannot simply take Luna Kira’s word for it!”The council hall immediately erupted into chaos.“Is the Alpha dead?”“How would we know? But it’s true that he hasn’t
I could no longer tolerate their accusations. I stepped out of the healing den, my gaze sweeping over the members of the Cross family gathered outside.“After what you’ve done to Kaelen, you still have the nerve to come here and disturb the Alpha?” I demanded, my voice laced with fury.“When was the last time anyone saw the Alpha?” someone shouted. “It’s been forty-eight hours since he was last seen! Just admit it, you poisoned him, and now you’re trying to destroy the evidence!”“We were born and raised in this pack!” another member of the Cross family argued. “Who are you to stop us from seeing Alpha Kaelen?”“Who am I?” I scoffed, my eyes narrowing. “I am the Luna of this pack! And what right do I have over the Alpha? I am his mate!”My dominance swept over the gathered wolves like an invisible force.T
“Gwen?” Rumi’s voice snapped me out of my daze after I froze at what I had just witnessed. For a second, I tried to convince myself it was nothing, desperately gaslighting my own thoughts. But my heart had already dropped the moment Soren and the woman kissed. She has blonde hair, effortlessl
[Gwyneth] They say the Moon Goddess will grant you the things you desire most, as long as the moon and time are aligned. I’ve believed in her for as long as I can remember. That’s why I’ve always been certain that Soren and I are mates, from the very moment I first understood what love was. ***
Thirty seconds passed before I finally reacted, my eyes scanning the crowded room as if searching for an exit that didn’t exist. It was only my second day at school, and the last thing I needed was to be branded as a delusional she-wolf before I’d even learned anyone’s name. Then a flash of red lig
“I’m Amanda. I already met Kira last night,” said the woman who had seemed worried earlier. She had short hair, a slim figure, and an innocent face. From the way she looked, I guessed she was around twenty. “So, you must be Kira?” Vada said, turning to the other girl. “Yes!” she answered brightly.
