LOGIN~LucianHer weight settled fully into my arms the moment I secured my hold on her, and for a fraction of a second, everything else disappeared again.“Nadia.”Her name left me lower now, steadier, as I adjusted my grip and rose to my full height without hesitation. There was no response from her, no movement beyond the faint rhythm of her breathing against my arm.That was enough to move me.I turned immediately toward the pack clinic.“Clear the way.”I ordered, my voice carrying through the silence that had fallen over the crowd. The wolves responded instantly, stepping aside, creating space before I even took my first step.My strides were long and purposeful, each step driven by urgency I did not allow to show beyond my pace. The world around me blurred into motion, voices rising behind me as the crowd followed at a distance, their earlier celebration completely forgotten.I did not look back.My focus remained on the woman in my arms.She felt lighter than she should have been. T
~Lucian“Luna?”The word echoed around me, carried by voices that sounded distant despite how close they were. For a moment, I did not move. I could feel Aiden beside me, his stillness mirroring mine, but my focus had already shifted ahead, pulled toward the crowd…something I did not yet understand.I turned to Aiden briefly, and in that quiet exchange, no words were needed. There was only one question between us.I stepped forward first.My pace was measured, but there was urgency beneath it that I could not fully conceal. My chest rose and fell with a steady rhythm that did not match the force of my heartbeat. It pounded hard and fast, each beat pressing against my ribs as though trying to force its way out.It could not be her.That truth had lived in me for too long to be undone so easily. I had watched her leave, knowing I had lost her in a way that could not be repaired. She had not hesitated. She had not looked back. Whatever we had once shared had meant nothing in that moment,
~Aiden The air smelled like smoke, sweat, and victory. Ashenhowl had never sounded like this before. Drums thundered in uneven rhythms, some fast, some wild…no coordination, no structure, just raw celebration. Wolves howled into the sky, their voices overlapping in a chaotic harmony that echoed through the forest. Laughter broke out in bursts, sharp and loud, followed by claps, stomps, and the shrill notes of flutes that someone had probably dug out from storage just for this moment. We had won. For the first time in what felt like forever, no one was looking over their shoulder. I stood just outside the pack house, leaning slightly against one of the wooden pillars, my hands tucked deep into my pockets. A slow smile stretched across my face as I watched them. Guards who had barely spoken more than a few words to each other before were now throwing arms around shoulders, shouting songs at the top of their lungs. Some had already shifted, their wolves darting through the clearing
~AidenIt began with pressure.A thick, suffocating weight that settled into the air long before the first strike was made, pressing against my chest, sharpening every sense, every instinct. By the time the first howl split through the clearing, we were already moving.I shifted mid-run, the transformation ripping through me in a familiar surge of power. The world snapped into clarity the moment my paws hit the ground, every scent magnified, every movement around me sharpened into something I could read and react to in an instant.And then we collided.Ashenhowl did not hesitate.Neither did Bloodfang.The impact was immediate and brutal, bodies crashing into each other with enough force to shake the ground beneath us. Claws tore through fur, teeth clashed, growls erupted from every direction, blending into something wild and unrestrained.A wolf lunged at me from the front. I twisted just before impact, letting his weight slide past me before driving into his side and sending him cra
~NadiaThe silence in the house felt unfamiliar and quiet.I sat still, my hands resting on my lap, my gaze fixed on nothing in particular. The walls around me were plain, worn in places, carrying the quiet life of someone who had lived alone for far too long. It wasn’t comforting… but it wasn’t cruel either.And right now, that was enough.A slow breath slipped past my lips as my thoughts drifted again, pulling me back to the moment I walked out of Ashenhowl.I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t have a plan. I just knew I couldn’t stay there. Not after everything I had heard. Not after everything they had kept from me.So I left.I walked through the night. Through the cold. Through paths I didn’t even recognize.I remembered the emptiness more than anything else, like something had been ripped out of me and nothing had taken its place.But then a man had found me wandering without direction, barely aware of where I was stepping, and brought me here without asking too many quest
~LucianThe night had been too quiet.I stood at the edge of the ridge, the wind dragging against my coat like it was trying to pull me back from what was coming. Below me, the forest stretched endlessly…dark, breathing… alive in a way that made even me uneasy.Somewhere in that darkness… Bloodfang had been waiting.My jaw tightened. My fingers curled slowly at my sides, power humming beneath my skin…restless, impatient. It had been building for days. Longer, if I was being honest. Since the moment I grew up, knowing they wanted what was rightfully ours. And they would stoop to any level to get it.But tonight, it would end. It had to.I closed my eyes for a brief second to inhale the fresh air of nature, to calm my nerves and prepare my mind fully for this war. But instead, she came.Nadia.Not as something I reached for, but as something that refused to leave. The memory of her voice…soft, steady…lingered in the quiet. The way her eyes had held mine, like she had been searching for
~Nadia The pack had been unusually quiet over the past few days. No one spoke openly about what had happened in the council hall. No one dared to question it, not even in passing conversation where words could easily be dismissed. Lucian had made his position clear, and that alone was enough to ke
~Nadia He held my chin and before I could take a breath, his lips pressed against mine. For a second…Nothing.No thought. No breath. No world.Just impact.My body froze completely, every muscle locking as if I had been struck instead of kissed. My eyes remained open for that brief, disoriented mo
~Lucian I sat in my wing, fingers curled around the thorough patrol reports. Eastern border reinforced. Northern ridge scouts doubled. No unusual scent trails detected near Moonstone Hill. I read each line carefully, not because I doubted Rowan’s efficiency, but because discipline begins at the t
~Lucian The noise didn’t fade, it pressed in.Low voices. Uneasy shifts. The weight of eyes that refused to look away but dared not stare too long.I stood where I was, Nadia beside me, her hand still on mine.I didn’t tighten my hold. I didn’t loosen it either. It was just enough for her to feel
