The door shut behind her.

It was soft.

The final sound.

Selene didn't open her eyes right away.

Her back was against the wood. Her breath was caught between her chest and throat. Her fingers curled a bit like she needed to hold onto something. Her heart was racing fast. It was too loud. Like the person who pulled her in could hear it.

For a second she thought.

"You can open your eyes now."

The voice cut through everything.

It was low.

It was familiar.

Selene's breath caught.

Her eyes opened slo

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 81: THE ALPHA’S WRATH

    Silence held the clearing for one dangerous second after Damian spoke.Not natural silence.The kind that came before violence.The rogues felt it too.But neither stepped back.One of them laughed softly instead, glancing toward Selene where she still lay partially hidden beneath the roots and leaves.“Relax, Alpha,” he said casually. “We only found her here.”The second smirked faintly.“We were trying to help.”Damian did not answer.He stood completely still beneath the moonlight, gaze fixed on them with a calmness that felt worse than anger.The forest itself seemed to tighten around him.The rogues exchanged another look.One of them tilted his head slightly.“She fought harder than expected though,” he admitted. “That was entertaining.”Still no response.Damian’s silence deepened instead.The second rogue crouched slightly near Selene again.Too close.“She’d make a perfect bride,” he said with faint amusement. “Strong bloodline too.”That was the mistake.The moment his hand

    The forest had changed again.Not in shape.In intent.Selene felt it before she saw them.Two presences.Heavy.Unfamiliar.Wrong in the way they moved through Silvermoon’s outer territory—as if the land itself rejected them.Her wolf slowed immediately.Not in fear.In awareness.The moonlight filtered through the trees in fractured silver lines, touching the dark fur along her back as she stood motionless at the edge of the clearing.Still.Listening.The wind shifted once.And then she saw them.Two wolves.Large.Broad-shouldered.Circling.Not rushing.Not attacking.Watching.Measuring.Their eyes glowed faintly beneath the moonlight, tracking every movement she made like predators deciding whether something was worth breaking apart.Selene’s body lowered instinctively.A low growl rose from her throat.Warning.The wolves continued circling.Slowly at first.Then closer.Their movements were calm in a way that made them more dangerous.Experienced.Not newly turned.Not unstab

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 79: BENEATH THE FULL MOON

    The forest did not feel unfamiliar anymore.It felt alive.Selene moved through it without understanding how her body already knew where to step. Wet earth pressed beneath her paws. Fallen branches cracked softly beneath her weight before disappearing behind her again.Everything moved faster now.Cleaner.The wind no longer brushed against her skin.It carried information.Scents layered over one another endlessly. Trees, moss, distant water, wolves, territory markings old and new. Her senses pulled at everything at once, overwhelming and natural in the same breath.But none of it felt wrong.For the first time since the change began nothing inside her felt trapped.Her body stretched forward through the forest line again, powerful muscles moving beneath moonlit fur with frightening ease. She leaped over broken roots without thought. Landed smoothly. Kept moving.Faster.The full moon followed overhead, silver light slipping through the trees in fractured pieces.Her wolf welcomed it

    Silence settled heavily after Maela’s question.No one answered immediately.Because hearing Selene’s name spoken like that inside Silvermoon still felt unfamiliar.Not impossible.Just changed.Maela remained near the doorway, hands lightly clasped before her. Her posture stayed respectful, but something uneasy lingered beneath it now.Evelyn noticed first.Not fear.Concern.Real concern.Seraphina spoke before the silence stretched too long.“The pack does not need rumors,” she said evenly. “It needs discipline.”Her tone remained calm.Controlled.But the weight behind it was unmistakable.Maela lowered her head slightly.“Yes, my lady.”Still, Evelyn could see the hesitation that remained.The servants had heard the howl.The younger wolves had reacted to it.And now the entire castle was trying to understand what Silvermoon itself did not yet fully understand.Evelyn stepped forward slightly.“Fear spreads faster when no one understands the truth,” she said quietly.Seraphina’s

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 77: WHAT THE PACK FELT

    Silvermoon had not returned to normal after the pursuit began.It only became quieter.And somehow, that felt worse.The castle corridors no longer carried their usual rhythm. Conversations lowered when footsteps approached. Servants moved carefully, eyes avoiding one another for too long.Because everyone had heard it.That howl.Even those who did not understand what it meant had felt what it did to the pack.The full moon still hung above Silvermoon, pale light spilling through the high windows of the eastern hall. Shadows stretched long across the stone floor, restless beneath flickering torchlight.Near the servant wing, whispers moved faster than orders.“They said the dungeon bars were damaged—”“No first-shift should have that kind of strength—”“She escaped past the lower grounds—”“Was it really her?”Maela turned sharply toward the younger servants.“That’s enough.”The girls immediately lowered their heads.Maela rarely raised her voice.Which made it worse when she did.O

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 76: THE PURSUIT

    The forest beyond Silvermoon did not sleep.It listened.Every branch held a memory of movement. Every patch of earth carried scent trails that were already fading, shifting, rewriting themselves under the pressure of the full moon.And now—Silvermoon was moving into it.Not as chaos.As structure.At the front line, Damian moved without hesitation.The cloak around his shoulders caught against the wind, but he did not slow. His presence alone changed the rhythm of the wolves behind him. No one spoke unless necessary. No one broke formation.This was not a search.It was a pursuit.Liam moved slightly behind and to the side, eyes scanning the terrain as he spoke in low, controlled intervals.“Three tracking lines deployed north-west. Two cutting south ridge. Perimeter widening every five minutes.”Damian didn’t look at him.“Any scent lock?”“Not stable,” Liam replied. “It’s… fragmented.”That made Damian’s jaw tighten slightly.Fragmented meant movement without pattern.Instinct with

    The hall didn't empty all at once.It emptied slowly.Voices that used to be loud and important got softer.They broke into conversations and moved towards the exits.Footsteps still. Not with a clear purpose anymore. Some people left quickly to get to their duties. Others stayed longer as if they

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 43: WHEN THE WALLS START LISTENING

    The hall didn’t feel the same.Selene noticed it before she even stepped fully inside.It wasn’t louder than usual. If anything, it was quieter. But not the peaceful kind of quiet, the kind that settles gently and lets you breathe.This one felt… tight.Like every word spoken in the room was being

    Selene did not sleep well.She had trouble sleeping. She closed her eyes. Turned to one side then the other side. She tried to relax and let the quiet of the night calm her down.. It did not work.She could not sleep. Her mind kept thinking ab

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 40: THE UNEASY SHIFT

    Selene was already wiping the surface for the third time before she realized what she was doing.She stopped the cloth still pressed against the wood, her eyebrows pulling together slightly as she stared at the streak she had just made."I already did this, " she said quietly, her voice above a whi
