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.

[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
“It seems they still don’t know the Alpha nearly died because of their reckless actions,” I said coldly.“They’re making sure they get ahead of you by filing a complaint first. If they succeed, they can use it to have you stripped of your position.”My eyes narrowed.“The Head Council took advantage of my absence while I was focused on healing Kaelen. The healing den has been sealed since last night, and I’ve ordered that no one be allowed inside without my permission. They probably assumed Kaelen didn’t survive and that I’m hiding his death to protect my position as Luna.”“That would explain it.”“Double the guards around the healing den. No one gets in or out without being cleared by you or me. We can’t let the Head Council discover that Kaelen is still alive.”“Understood, Luna.”&ld
The head council’s face went pale the moment he saw Kaelen being carried out of the hidden room.“W-why is the Alpha here?! I knew it!” He hurried toward her daughter and slapped her across the face. “Did you do this? I had nothing to do with it!”“Enough with the act!” I snapped, letting my Luna’s authority surge through my voice. “Search every room and interrogate everyone in this household. I want all the evidence turned over to the Gamma and the council.”“No!” the head council fired back. “You’re abusing your authority as Luna! You have no right to search my household. You’re the one who poisoned the Alpha, aren’t you? Now you’re trying to frame us for it!”“Kira, we have to get your mate to the healing den now!” Gwen urged. “His heart is growing weaker!”I didn’t bother respond
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.
When I pushed open the dormitory door, two unfamiliar faces greeted me, along with two others from the Hollow Pack I hadn’t expected to see, and one of them was Luna Rosalia. They were all seated on the couch, but the second I stepped in, their heads turned toward me in unison. “Where have you be
Muriel’s smile was all warmth on the surface, but my thoughts were anything but calm. It wouldn’t be surprising if Soren eventually found out about my marriage to the Blackwoods. “I’ve heard quite a bit about you from Soren’s friends,” she said pleasantly. “I just hope they’re good things,” I repl
