Damian didn’t go looking for him immediately.

Not at first.

There were still voices lingering in the hall, decisions to finalize, instructions to pass quietly without drawing more attention than necessary. The elders had said enough, too much, maybe and the weight of it still sat in the air even after they were gone.

But through all of it.

One thing stayed with him.

Liam wasn’t there.

Not late.

Not delayed.

Absent.

And that… didn’t sit right.

It wasn’t like him.

Not for something like this.

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 45: WHERE IS BETA?

    Damian didn’t go looking for him immediately.Not at first.There were still voices lingering in the hall, decisions to finalize, instructions to pass quietly without drawing more attention than necessary. The elders had said enough, too much, maybe and the weight of it still sat in the air even after they were gone.But through all of it.One thing stayed with him.Liam wasn’t there.Not late.Not delayed.Absent.And that… didn’t sit right.It wasn’t like him.Not for something like this.Not when the pack was shifting in ways none of them fully understood.Damian gave the last of his instructions with a calm he didn’t fully feel, dismissing the warriors with a short nod. They didn’t question it. They never did.But his mind had already moved on.To one place.The corridor leading to the Beta’s chambers was quieter than the rest of the pack house.Always had been.Less traffic. Fewer interruptions.A place for rest… or distance.Damian walked it without hesitation, his steps steady,

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 44: BENEATH WORDS

    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 might miss something if they left too soon.Selene was already gone. Most people didn't even notice.A few did.Some people noticed everything.Near the end of the room two old men were still sitting.They weren't the people in the room.They didn't argue with the leader.They listened carefully.Now that the room was almost empty they started talking.The first elder leaned back in his chair.His fingers tapped slowly on the armrest.He wasn't impatient.He was just thinking.He looked ahead watching the last of the people leave."Something strange is happening, " he said quietly.His voice wasn't loud.It was clear.The second elder didn't respond right away.He sat with his hands folded,

  • 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 measured. Weighed. Held back just a second too long before it was allowed to exist.She hesitated near the entrance, fingers curling slightly at her sides. She hadn’t been called. Not really. Servants weren’t part of meetings like this, not unless they were bringing something in or taking something out.But Maela had told her earlier, “Stay close to the main hall today. If anything is needed, you’ll hear it.”So she stayed.Near enough to hear.Far enough to be ignored.That was the rule.Selene kept her head slightly bowed as she moved along the wall, careful, quiet, slipping into a space where she wouldn’t be in anyone’s way. From there, she could see them.The elders.Seated in a loose ar

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 42: TOO CLOSE

    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 slowly. Carefully.There he was.Alpha.Relief came first.It was sharp. Immediate. It loosened something in her chest that she didn't realize was clenched tightly.. It didn't stay relieved for long. It changed into something. Heavier. Harder to name.Her lips parted a bit. "Alpha…"Her voice came out softer than she wanted.His gaze stayed on her. It was steady. Searching."You were in the woods," he said.Not a question.Selene froze.Her mind scrambled. She tried to catch up. She tried to decide

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 41: BENEATH THE SURFACE

    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 about the forest. That moment in the forest. It was not the shift itself that bothered her. But what happened before it.Selene sat up slowly. The thin blanket fell off her shoulders as she put her feet on the floor. She sat there for a moment still with her hands in her lap. Her foot did not hurt anymore. That was good. She moved her foot a little while testing it. It felt fine. No pain. Just normal.Selene breathed out slowly. One less thing to worry about. If only everything else was that simple. She looked out the window in her room.The early morning light was soft and calm.. It was not real. Everything looked fine. It w

  • 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 whisper.She was not sure it sounded like a question.She straightened up slowly, her fingers tightening around the cloth before she let out a breath and dropped her hand to her side.The room was the same shelves, same polished table, same quiet stillness that usually made her work easier and more predictable.Today Selene felt something was off, not loud, not obvious, just wrong.She shifted her weight slightly, testing her foot. The ache was still there but it was manageable. It was not enough to stop her, it was not enough to explain the unease sitting low in her chest.It was not the pain that was bothering her, it was the silence, not the absence of sound. The kind of silence.Her gaze dr

    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

    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

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 13: THE PULL

    Selene stood outside the Alphas door for a time.The tray she was holding felt heavy even though it was a bowl of warm water, a clean towel and some medicine. It was not complicated. She had done this before.Yet…Her fingers held the tray a little tighter.Her heartbeat was louder than usual. It w

    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
