Claiming the Caged Luna

Hakan’s POV“Hakan.”I looked up at the sound of my name.My Beta and best friend—Callum, stepped into my office. “Your preparations to travel to Moonlight pack have been arranged. Are you ready to leave?”I rose slowly from my chair, letting out a breath to ease the uneasiness that had settled in my chest over the past few days. “Yes,” I said calmly. “We’ll leave in thirty minutes.”“Alright,” Callum replied, though he didn’t move. He lingered, hesitation evident in his eyes. I knew that look.“Speak,” I said.He exhaled. “Do you really think we’ll find a solution by meeting the Beta of Moonlight pack?”I sighed. “We can at least give it a try.” “Things are getting out of hand.”That was an understatement.Ever since the Sapphire wolves went extinct a decade ago, balance has been slipping through our fingers. The rogue attacks wiped them out completely. Every last one of them.Being an obsidian wolf, power had never been my weakness. But power and balance are two very different thin

Ivory's POV My head felt like someone was pulling it apart with brutal force.A sharp ache throbbed behind my eyes as I slowly opened them. At first, everything was blurry, spinning shadows and light blending together. I blinked, trying to focus, but dizziness washed over me again.My head hurt. My stomach twisted. Every single part of my body ached.I swallowed weakly and blinked again.Gradually, my surroundings began to come into view.I could see soft lighting, elegant curtains, and walls that weren’t damp stone. The air carried a faint, sweet scent that felt warm and comforting.My brows furrowed. Was this another hallucination? Were the injections messing with my head again?They had made me see and feel things that weren’t real. Was this another cruel trick?I shifted slightly, clutching my head.That was when I felt the softness beneath me. My fingers pressed down instinctively to the soft bed.My heart skipped. What was going on?This wasn’t the dungeon. Had Beta Alaric mov

Ivory's POV My heart pounded wildly as I ran, my breath coming in short, uneven gasps. The hallway blurred past me, but I didn’t slow down. I just needed to get out. When I finally caught sight of the exit ahead, relief filled my chest.Just a little more. Once I crossed that gate, I’d be free. I could leave all of this behind and start over somewhere no one knew me.But just as I pushed forward, I collided into someone.The impact was sudden and hard. Glass shattered around me. I staggered back, holding my head as pain hit me. “Ah,” I winced, blinking through the dizziness as I looked up.A man stood in front of me, holding what remained of a tray. His face twisted in anger.“I’m really sorry, I didn’t—” I started, but I didn’t even get to finish.His hand stretched out toward me.I froze, my body locking up. My eyes shut tightly, bracing for the slap.But it never came. There was complete silence.Slowly, I opened one eye.Then the other. A hand had caught his wrist just before he

Ivory's POVI hadn’t meant to kick the kit like that, but panic had taken over. My eyes had caught the injections, pills, and suddenly it all felt too much. Memories I was trying so hard to bury rushed back at me, and I lashed out.Now I was frozen, staring at the scattered contents on the floor, feeling utterly dumbfounded. My heart was pounding. What had I just done?The door burst open, and Lucille stormed in. “What was that noise?” she demanded, her eyes scanning the room. Then she spotted me, and the doctor, and the mess. Her gaze sharpened, teeth clenched. “It was you, wasn’t it? You crazy girl!” she spat, stepping forward.I flinched as Hakan’s hand reached out, gripping her wrist. “Mind your language,” he said, his voice like ice. “No one asked you to come in here.”Lucille stared at him, defiant. “But I heard the loud crash! I was supposed to come in and check—”“Check what?” Hakan’s tone snapped. “If I got hurt? Really? Am I a baby? You know who I am. Don’t ever barge into m
