Cruel Alpha’s Refuge 60. Chapter
Mason The first light of dawn had only begun to wash the stars from the sky above Brown Stone, but inside our house time had been frozen for hours. The night had been heavy, filled with Corin’s restrained cries and the tension that grips every wolf’s heart at such moments. Outside, the pack waited in silent stillness. Through the bond they could feel that their Luna was fighting the greatest battle of her life. I knelt beside the bed, holding Corin’s hand. I watched her sweat-covered face, her tangled hair, and every beat of my heart was for her. "She’s almost here, Corin. I can see her head," Vanessa said, her voice full of excitement. "One last push, sweetheart. Give it everything." Corin cried out and squeezed my hands so hard I felt her nails digging into my skin. That cry carried everything. All the pain of the past years, the victories, and the primal strength of a mother who refused to be broken. Then suddenly a sharp, clear cry of a newborn cut through the silenc

Corin Two weeks had passed since the darkness had nearly swallowed me. Two weeks that, according to Mason, I had spent in a deep fevered coma while my soul intertwined with that of my child in a golden emptiness. In that strange in-between place I first felt the true strength of the little one. The child was my anchor, a small pulsing flame that refused to let the icy silver poison stop my heart forever. Now I stood on my own feet again. The wound at my side still pulled when I moved, and a faint silver scar marked the place of the attack, but life flowed through my body once more. More than life. The Aura Prima, which had once been wild and destructive, had calmed. It felt like a deep dark ocean whose surface was peaceful while immeasurable power slept in its depths. Mason was asleep. For the first time in days I had managed to convince him to lie down. But I could not rest. There was something I needed to finish before this chapter could finally close. I pulled a dar

Mason The stairs leading down to the dungeon were damp and dark, but I did not need a torch. My wolf could see in the darkness, and the rage burning inside me radiated enough heat to almost dry the water seeping from the walls. With every step I saw Corin again in my mind, her red dress soaked in blood. I heard her cry and felt that moment when our child’s life had almost faded away. Two warriors stood in front of the last cell. The moment they saw me they stepped aside. I did not need to speak. My aura, the raw murderous Alpha energy pouring from me, was more suffocating than the air of the cellar. "Open it," I growled. My voice came from somewhere deep, like a rock splitting apart. The iron door creaked open. Lyra sat in the corner of the cell, leaning against the wall. Her clothes were torn, her face bruised where I had struck her earlier, but the madness was still burning in her eyes. When I stepped inside she smiled. That smile was the last nail in her coffin. "
Cruel Alpha’s Refuge 57. Chapter
Mason The world dissolved into a red haze. Corin’s body grew heavy in my arms, and the river of blood spreading across the white stone painted the ceremonial platform like the floor of a slaughterhouse. The poison of the silver dagger was already visible. Dark purple veins began creeping around Corin’s wound, as if the darkness itself was trying to choke the life out of her. "Take Lyra to the dungeon!" I roared at the warriors. My voice was no longer human. My wolf howled with pure killing fury. "But do not touch her. I will kill her myself. Slowly." I lifted Corin into my arms and ran toward the healing house at a frantic sprint. The pack parted silently before me. Behind me I could hear only frightened whispers. Vanessa was already waiting in the doorway. Her face was as pale as a sheet, but her hands did not tremble. She was the only one who knew what to do. "Lay her down," she ordered. "Mason, hold her shoulders. This will hurt her." As the healers tried to clean the

Mason Today was supposed to be a celebration of victory and new life. The main square of Brown Stone had never looked so radiant. White silk ribbons hung from the branches of the trees, the ceremonial bonfires were built from fragrant pine wood, and every member of the pack had gathered in their finest clothes. Corin stood beside me on the platform. She was beautiful. She wore a deep red gown embroidered with gold, gently outlining the curve of her growing belly. Her skin was no longer pale, and in her eyes burned that pure, noble fire that belonged only to a true Luna. "Pack," my voice rang out, and the crowd fell silent instantly. "Today we celebrate not only our freedom. Today we officially recognize the one whom fate and the Aura Prima placed at my side. Corin is not only my mate. She is our protector." I knelt before her in full view of the pack. I felt the shocked murmur ripple through the crowd. An Alpha rarely bows before anyone. But I did it with pride. I pull

Mason Two weeks had passed since the victory and the great announcement. Brown Stone had come back to life. The roofs of the houses were repaired, the steady rhythm of hammering echoed from the blacksmith’s forge, and training had resumed on the field under Jax’s command. But inside my own fortress, within the walls of our bedroom, a very different kind of war was raging. A war no alpha training had ever prepared me for. Morning did not begin with birds singing, but with a familiar desperate noise coming from the bathroom. I jumped out of bed immediately. Corin was kneeling on the cold floor, her hair stuck to her face with sweat, her body shaking as she retched. I stepped beside her and gently gathered her hair at the back of her neck while rubbing her back with my other hand. "I’m here, sweetheart. Just let it out," I whispered, even though my wolf inside wanted to tear down the walls from helplessness as it watched her suffer. When the sickness finally stopped, Corin

Corin The door closed behind us with a heavy thud, shutting out the world, the war, and the restless murmur of the pack. Mason did not light a lamp. Only the faint glow of embers in the hearth painted the walls in deep crimson shadows. He still held me in his arms, as if setting me

Corin The setting sun painted the pine trees around Northwood in long streaks of red. Smoke still lingered in the air, bitter and heavy, but the sounds of battle had given way to the steady rhythm of rebuilding. Saws growled. Hammers struck wood in determined cadence. Mason wasted

Mason The rage was still pounding at my temples, but the sight before me slowly quieted the wolf raging inside. We had set up a temporary camp at the edge of the village, far from the still smoldering ruins. Brown Stone warriors moved in silent patrols, yet their gazes
Cruel Alpha’s Refuge 10. Chapter
Corin The darkness was not complete. It felt as though I were floating at the bottom of a deep, murky swamp, where sounds and lights reached me only as dull fragments. I had no sense of how much time had passed. Minutes? Days? I only knew that my body was no longer lying on frozen, damp forest
