Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 19: THE FIRST STEP
The clearing fell completely silent. Hundreds of wolves stood beneath the full moon, their attention fixed on the sacred platform. The silver flames burning inside the ancient moonstone bowls flickered softly, dancing with the evening breeze. Aurora drew in a slow breath. The air smelled of pine, wildflowers, and burning cedar. A scent she had always associated with the Moon Festival. When she was younger, she had loved this night. Her father would lift her onto his shoulders so she could watch the Alpha and Luna lead the blessing. She had once believed it was the most beautiful tradition in the werewolf world. She had dreamed that one day.....one day she would stand there with the man fate had chosen for her. Back then, the dream had been filled with love. Now it was filled with silence. "The Alpha and Luna." The herald's voice echoed across the clearing once more. "Please approach the altar." Aurora's feet refused to move only for a heartbeat then she reminded herself
Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 18: THE MOON'S CHOSEN
Aurora remained standing by the window long after Kael left.His last words echoed quietly inside her mind."Tonight... don't be afraid."She couldn't understand them, kael wasn't a man who offered comfort, he wasn't someone who spoke gently, for three years, his words had always been practical, brief, distant.So why now?Why had his voice carried something she had never heard before?Aurora released a slow breath and closed the window.No.She couldn't allow herself to think too much about it, thinking about Kael had only ever led to disappointment.She had promised herself that would change, one month, she only had to survive one month, after that, none of this would matter anymore.A knock sounded against the door, before Aurora could answer, Lena slipped inside carrying a small tray filled with pastries and tea."I brought food."Aurora smiled faintly."I'm not hungry.""I wasn't asking."Lena placed the tray on the table before sitting opposite her."You've barely eaten since ye
Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 17: HER PLACE BESIDE THE ALPHA
The council chamber gradually emptied, one elder after another offered Kael a respectful bow before leaving, beta Rowan gathered the meeting records quietly, within minutes, only Kael remained.He stood before the enormous window overlooking Nightfang Pack, his hands clasped behind his back while the first rays of morning stretched across the training grounds below.Normally, council meetings settled his thoughts.Today nothing was settled instead, his mind returned to one person.Aurora.The way she had looked when she stepped away from him.The sadness hidden beneath her smile.The silver light beneath her skin.And the question that refused to leave him.What was she hiding?A knock interrupted his thoughts."My Alpha."Rowan stepped inside once more.Kael didn't turn."What is it?""The preparations for tonight's Moon Festival are complete."Kael gave a short nod."The guest packs have arrived."Another nod."The ceremonial platform has been decorated."Silence.Rowan hesitated.T
Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 16: THE DRESS SHE NEVER CHOSE
Aurora remained where she was long after Kael disappeared beyond the doorway.The room felt strangely empty not because he had filled it with conversation he rarely did but because his presence always changed the air around him, heavy, commanding, impossible to ignore.Lena quietly closed the door before turning toward Aurora.She studied her friend's face for several long seconds.Then sighed."I knew this would happen."Aurora blinked."What?"Lena folded her arms."He looked at you differently."Aurora immediately shook her head."No.""No?"Lena raised one eyebrow."I was standing right here, Aurora."Aurora walked toward the window."You imagined it.""I absolutely did not."Aurora refused to answer.Because she had seen it too.And that frightened her more than she wanted to admit.Three years.For three years, Kael had barely looked at her unless duty required it.Now he kept watching her.Questioning her.Studying every expression on her face.She should have been happy.She w
Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 15: THE REHEARSAL UNDER THE MOON
Aurora remained where she was long after Kael left.The room felt strangely empty not because he had spoken much he rarely did but because his presence always seemed to change the air around him.She slowly lowered herself onto the edge of the bed, pressing a hand against her chest as the familiar ache pulsed beneath her ribs.It wasn't as sharp as before but it was there.A constant reminder that time was slipping away.One month.That was all she had asked for.One month before she walked away from the life she had spent three years trying to protect.The door creaked open quietly.Lena poked her head inside first.Then the rest of her followed.She looked around cautiously before letting out a long breath."Oh, thank the Moon Goddess."Aurora looked up."What happened?""I wanted to make sure the terrifying Alpha had actually left."Despite everything, Aurora couldn't stop the tiny smile that appeared on her lips."You really should stop calling him terrifying."Lena shut the door
Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 14: THE WAY HIS EYES DARKENED
The room suddenly felt dangerous, not loud, not chaotic, worse, quiet.The kind of quiet that came before something shattered.Aurora stood frozen beside the bed, one hand gripping the sheets tightly while pain pulsed faintly beneath her ribs but she barely noticed it anymore because Kael was staring at Rowan and the look in his eyes made her heartbeat stumble.Cold, sharp, possessive.No.Not possessive.That would imply Kael actually cared.Wouldn’t it?Rowan straightened almost immediately.Years of serving under Alpha Kael had clearly taught him how to recognize dangerous moods.“My Alpha.”Kael didn’t answer right away.His gaze shifted slowly from Rowan… to Aurora.Aurora’s stomach tightened instantly because now he was looking at her the exact same way he had looked at the silver light beneath her skin.Studying, watching, trying to understand something.The atmosphere became unbearably tense.Then Kael finally spoke.“What’s happening?”His voice came low.Controlled.Too cont
Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 4: THE ROOM BESIDE HIS
Aurora did not remember leaving the corridor.Later, if someone asked, she wouldn't have been able to explain how she reached the west wing or when exactly Elder Mira disappeared behind her.Everything after Kael's words felt blurred.Heavy.Distant.Like she was walking underwater while the world
Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 3: WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?
Aurora’s pulse stumbled the moment her eyes met Kael’s.He stood near the entrance of the sitting room, one hand resting against the doorframe while moonlight stretched across the floor behind him. The shadows along the corridor sharpened the hard lines of his face, making him look even colder than
Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 2: THE CONDITION
Aurora did not stop walking until the pack hall disappeared behind her.Even then, the whispers followed.They drifted through the corridors in hushed voices, curling around her like smoke no matter how far she moved from the crowd.“She actually asked for one month.”“Why would Alpha Kael agree to
Countdown To My Alpha's Goodbye CHAPTER 1: YOU CAN LEAVE AFTER ONE MONTH
The Nightfang Pack hall had never felt this cold before.Moonlight spilled through towering crystal windows, washing silver light across the polished black floors and the massive stone pillars lining the chamber. Above, elegant chandeliers carved from moonstone glimmered softly, casting a pale glow
