LOGINSelene tried to move like nothing had changed.Head lowered. Steps steady. Hands occupied.Routine.That was the safest thing right now, routine. If she kept moving, kept doing what was expected, maybe the weight sitting in her chest would ease. Maybe the looks would stop. Maybe the whispers would fade into nothing.But they didn’t.They followed.Not loud. Not direct.Worse, quiet enough to slip through everything else.She kept walking.Another turn. Another corridor.It didn’t stop.A group further ahead this time, three of them. They didn’t even bother lowering their voices completely.“Is it true?” one of them asked, her tone carrying a sharp edge of curiosity that didn’t bother hiding itself.Selene stopped.Slowly.She turned, her brows drawing together slightly, confusion flickering across her face. “What?” she asked, her voice quieter than she intended.The girl stepped forward just enough to close the distance—not aggressive, but not friendly either. “That you’re cursed,” sh
Morning came softer than expected.Not brighter, just… lighter.The castle carried a different rhythm as the first movements of the day settled into place. Doors opened without hesitation, footsteps no longer cautious, voices rising a little more freely than they had the night before. It wasn’t loud, not celebratory, but there was a noticeable shift in the air, a loosening, like something unseen had eased its grip.Damian noticed it immediately.He stood near the tall windows of the east wing, his hands loosely clasped behind him as his gaze stretched beyond the walls of the castle and into the distance where the woods stood, dark, quiet, and still. The same as always. At least, on the surface.Behind him, the castle stirred to life.Servants moved with purpose. Guards rotated shifts with less tension in their shoulders. Even the silence between movements felt different, less strained, less watchful.The pack felt it.Whatever had pressed against them the night before… had shifted.Or
The corridor was not the same when Selene stepped out. She felt it away. The stone floor was still beneath her feet, the walls and narrow windows were still the same. The servants were still moving quietly.. but something was different and she felt it immediately. Not in what she saw but in how everything responded to her presence. Conversations that had been low and steady before she entered now thinned into silence as she passed. People stopped talking when she walked by. Eyes lifting briefly before dropping just as quickly. They looked at her then away.She kept walking, not slow, just steady.. She felt like she was being watched. There was space around her which was not there before. Two Omegas were talking at the end of the corridor. When Selene approached one of them looked up. Whispered something to the other. The second Omega stiffened slightly, her gaze flicking toward Selene, then away.“…that’s her.”The words were low.Barely audible.But Selene heard them.She wasn’t sur
The crackling of the fire in the Alpha's study room filled the silence, as Beta Liam leaned against the stone wall, arms crossed. Across from him, Alpha Damian sat with his back straight, his eyes fixed on the fire, his expression hard and unreadable. The air between them was thick with unspoken thoughts, but Beta Liam knew exactly what was on the Alpha's mind.“Have you spoken to her yet?” Liam asked, his voice cautious“Who?” Damian asked “Selene” answered Liam knowing full well that speaking of Selene was a delicate matter.Alpha Damian’s lips tightened. “Why would I speak to her?” he growled, his voice low and edged with frustration. “The Moon Goddess made a mistake, pairing me with her.”Liam raised an eyebrow, surprised by the venom in Damian’s words. “I thought you were supposed to be honored. After all, you’ve grown some interest and now, she's your mate, She's Luna.”Damian’s fists clenched, and he exhaled sharply, turning his gaze toward Liam. “Honored?” he repeated bitte
The door closed behind Selene with a thud that hung in the air longer than the sound. She didn't turn right away, her arm still faintly aware of where the guards had held her. It didn't hurt, it just reminded her that she hadn't walked in willingly. The room she stood in was clean, tidy and too perfect. That made the tension inside feel sharper.Seraphina moved into view slowly. She didn't speak right away. She just studied Selene with an unreadable look that said more than words. Then she spoke, her voice precise. "You went into the Alphas room.”Selene blinked, caught off guard. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she tried to steady herself. "I didn't…..”“Uninvited" Seraphina cut in her tone, still controlled but firmer. She cut through Selene's explanation before it started.Selene hesitated, her breath tightening. "I didn't mean to….I just,”“And the moment you did " Seraphina continued, taking a slow step forward "something changed.”The air seemed to respond to her movement.
Selene's consciousness didn't come back at once. It returned to her slowly, in fragments. It was like something was letting go of her. She was rising up. Her fingers moved first then she took a breath in.Her eyes opened. She looked up at the ceiling. It was not familiar. For a moment she just stared, trying to figure out where she was.Then it hit her.Her body reacted before she could think. She sat up fast and felt dizzy right away. Her vision blurred slowly before it cleared up again, snapping into a sharp focuslShe took a breath, her hand going to her chest. "What" Her voice was dry and shaky. She looked around and froze.This was not her room. The space was larger and everything was well structured, neat and in place, which was not like her room. Her chest felt tight as she realized where she was.“Alpha's room?”Her heart beat hard against her ribs. "Why am I here…?" There was no answer, silence.It was too quiet. Too still. Something felt wrong.Selene quickly swung her legs
The gates opened before anyone had to shout. Word had already reached ahead of them. By the time Damian was brought into the castle the air had changed. Conversations died mid-sentence, footsteps slowed and eyes turned. The Alpha was back.. He was hurt.Two warriors supported him on either side th
The moment Liam left the study Damian didn’t waste any time.“Get the warriors ready. We are going in ten minutes " he said firmly.Liam nodded. "I am already on it.”Damian. Walked out right away, his pace fast, his face set. He was focused now. Nothing else mattered. Whatever was happening at the
The doors to Damian's study swung open without any warning."Alpha " Liam said.His voice was like a knife cutting through the room.Damian did not look up. He just sat there behind his desk, his fingers, his face not showing any feelings.. The way the air in the room changed and the urgency in Lia
The moon casted a pale glow over the castle, behind it was the velvet sky which carried a deep secret.Alpha Damian sat in his cold room, the weight of his responsibilities pressing against his chest. His gaze was fixed on the flickering flames of the fireplace, but his mind was obviously on someth
