Ryan's POV

The gates creaked open and the wind hit me first… cool, sharp, cutting through the blood and sweat caked on my skin. Home.

The others were behind me, dragging their tired bodies and bruises along. The warriors ahead of us called out, opening the way, and I walked forward with slow, deliberate steps. My body was screaming, my knuckles still stung, and I could still taste the iron of the last fight on my tongue. But my mind was elsewhere.

I was scanning through the pack.

Looking for her.

Then… I saw her.

Elena.

She stood near the steps, the wind catching strands of her hair, her lips parted, eyes wide, like she’d stopped breathing altogether.

And fuck.

The rest of the world just disappeared.

She looked at me like she wasn’t sure if I was real. Like she’d waited for this moment, held onto it through every ache and tear and silent prayer. My chest clenched. I didn’t know if it was the injuries or her—but it hurt. In the best kind of way.

Our eyes locked. That bond sparked, pu

    Ryan’s POVThe war room was filled with tension. I sat at the head of the long table, flanked by Trevor on one side and Elena on the other. Aria stood behind me, arms folded tight. We all waited to hear the feedback Elder Chorwin got. Elder Chorwin stepped forward, holding a thick scroll in his hand. Then he opened it. “I’ve received word from the Iron Fangs,” he announced, his voice loud and clear. “They have acknowledged our message and responded through one of their messengers this morning.”Trevor leaned forward. “What did they say?”Chorwin met our eyes one by one before he continued. “They are open to discussing an alliance… but they have conditions.”Of course they did. They always do.“What is it?” I exhaled sharply. “The first,” he said, “is that there must be only two representatives from our side attending. They wish for neutrality and minimal exposure. And they named who they want—Ryan, and any one man of your choosing.”My jaw tightened, but I gave a single nod. “Und

    Thorne's POVI stood in the barracks, the smell of steel and sweat thick in the air. Kael, one of my most trusted warheads, waited before me with some important information. Kael beside being my most trusted warheads, was practically the only man I have ever trusted and he didn't let me down. He’d followed me from the beginning, even when I was just a pampered son of an Alpha. He gave a stiff nod. “Zephyr held his end of the deal, he gave us two two hundred warriors and twelve scouts. I didn’t answer right away. I stared past him at the stretch of men training in the yard,white snow warriors. Two hundred wasn't a bad number. It puts us at an advantage to Star Raiders, but i wasn't still not sure if it enough to put me at ease.Star Raiders posses the most skilled men of all packs, this number would be enough against any other pack but them.And their quality?” I finally asked.Kael scratched his chin. “Better than what I expected.But still from what I see they lack motivation.

    Ryan POVThe morning air was soft and chilly, just as I liked it. I stood in the clearing, already warmed up, watching as Elena jogged toward me. Her eyes were sharp, and focused. Something inside her had shifted these past few days, she was more determined. Maybe it was the direwolf in her, or maybe it was the Crystal effect. “Ready?” I asked, tossing her a wooden blade. It smacked into her palm, but she didn’t even flinch.“As I’ll ever be,” she replied, straightening her shoulders. “Good.” I took a step back and tapped the staff in my hand against the ground. “Today’s drill is called 'Guard and Break.' You’re going to defend against five strikes. Not dodge… block. I want you to hold your ground.”She nodded, tightening her stance. She wasn't even hesitating or over thinking. “Begin,” I said, and lunged towards her.I first targeted her lower region. She blocked with the tip of her blade, her knees bending with the pressure. I brought the next hit from the right, but she ca

    Crystal POVI sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the small table across the room. My mind was far from here, it was just on her… Elena.The name rang in my head like continuously, my step sister. The girl I always thought would be nothing, just weak and powerless. And now she's... a dire wolf?I clenched my jaw tightly. I had trained for years first while I was here and then more at Star Raiders and then the time I was rogue I mastered my craft, honed every move, sharpened every instinct. I was stronger, faster and naturally gifted than any other female werewolf. But now all anyone could talk about was her. The miracle. The girl who was never meant to shift and suddenly turned into one of the rarest and most powerful breeds of wolves in existence.The door creaked open. I didn’t turn."I figured I’d find you brooding," Thorne said. His voice was calm, almost amused. "You’ve been quiet since we arrived."I finally looked up as he stepped inside, his large frame fillin

    Elena’s POVThe morning came quickly, I could barely sleep last night. I couldn't wait any more, I was just ready to go out there and train. I didn't waste any more time, I quickly freshened up and dashed out of my room at once. It didn't waste time before I stood in the east field, surrounded by the mist of the early day. The air was cold, crisp, and sharp against my skin.I wrapped my arms around myself and exhaled slowly. The silence in the fields was almost suffocating. It felt like the peace before the storm. Then I heard footsteps coming. Ryan emerged from the mist, dressed in a black training shirt, sleeves pushed up to his elbows, expression unreadable. He looked sharp and focused. He had his game face on. What he said about no taking it easy on me was true. Today, he wasn't here to protect, instead he might be the one to put me in danger. “You’re early,” he said as he approached, his voice low and steady.“So are you.” I replied sharply. He smirked, just a little.

    Zaphyr’s POVI sat at the head of the table, patiently waiting for their arrival. Just then the doors creaked open and then heavy boots echoed in the hall. I didn't need to turn to know who had arrived, it was them. That presence… it was unmistakable. The chill in the air thickened as they stepped in.I turned slowly, eyes landing on the daughter I hadn’t seen in months My step daughter, but the one who I always treated with a silver spoon.Crystal.She looked different than last time I saw her. She looked sharper and more dangerous, and for some reason she was oozing a certain power and presence and not just because of the man standing beside her. Him… Thorne, I assumed. The new Alpha of the Shadow Blood Pack.I didn’t greet them.“I see you’ve found your way home,” I said instead, voice like ice.Crystal raised her chin. “Only temporarily.”Her tone didn’t waver. There was no softness, no hesitation. That little girl who once begged for my attention, for my approval… she was g

  • Eventual Luna   Chapter 51

    Crystal’s POVThe cold wind stung my cheeks as our horses trotted toward the great iron gates of the White Snow Pack. I kept my chin high, eyes focused. It had been months since I stood on this snow-covered land.Months since I left this place with a joyous as ever and happy. I had Ryan, my mother's love and my step father's compassion, I thought I had it all. And now I was back, not as prodigal daughter, but as the weapon of another pack.Beside me, Thorne rode silently, his expression unreadable but his aura radiating power.From a distance, the guards spotted us arriving, they instantly raised their weapons in self defense.“State your pack!” one of them barked.“Shadow Blood,” Thorne answered flatly. And then, I knew the answer that was coming next. The reaction was immediate. They stepped forward at once, pulling out their blades, ready to fight. “Turn around,” the same guard said. “This territory is closed to your kind.”Thorne’s eyes narrowed. He didn't waste any time to

  • Eventual Luna   Chapter 50

    Elena’s POVI knocked gently on Ryan's door, but there was no answer. And then I knocked again, still no answer. The silence inside his room felt oddly empty, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Or maybe I was just over thinking? Maybe he was out, busy with something important.Yes, that must be why. I didn’t mind too much, I had all the time in the world to find him. The thought of being near him, especially after everything that had happened last night, made me feel whole.I turned down the hallway, making my way to the war room. Maybe he was there, there were always matters to discuss, and as the Alpha, Ryan was there almost all the time.When I reached the door to the war room, I hesitated for a moment. It was slightly opened, and I could hear voices inside.One of them was unmistakable was Ryan’s. The other voice was Trevor’s. They spoke, their tone serious. This had to be important. I leaned in to listen closely. “...Elena is not ready, Trevor. She

    Ryan POVI stayed by the porch a few minutes longer, letting everything all sink in. Even though my body was tired, my mind just kept replaying every moment of Elena’s shift, from the look in her eyes to her figure, the dire wolf, the rarest werewolf species of all.She had no idea how rare and how powerful she was.I finally forced myself to move, stepping off the porch and then walking toward the war room. I had told Trevor to wait for me in the war room. I also figured Aria would already be there too. Knowing her well, she would never missed anything important as this, and sure enough, when I pushed the door open, she and Trevor were seated around the long oak table.They both looked up immediately.“She did it,” I said simply, my voice laced with a tinge of pride.And why not? My fated mate is now a dire wolf. Aria’s face broke into a smile. “I knew she would,” she said, rising from her seat and coming over to me. “How is she?”"Exhausted," I said, running a hand through my ha
