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, snapp

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 98: QUESTIONS WITHOUT ANSWERS

    The silence lingered between them."We need to talk."Damian already knew what this was about.Or at least he thought he did.He moved around the desk slowly.Not sitting.Not inviting her to sit either.A mistake.Because Seraphina noticed.She always noticed.For a moment neither spoke.Then finally—"Is there a reason you went looking for Selene that night?"The question came without warning.Direct.Precise.Damian's expression didn't change.But something inside him tightened."There was an attack."Seraphina nodded."I know."A pause."You've already said that."Her eyes remained fixed on him.Calm.Patient.Waiting.Damian looked away briefly.Toward the window.Toward the reports scattered across the desk.Anywhere except her.It didn't help.Because she was still standing there.Still waiting."She was missing."His answer sounded reasonable.Even to him.Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.Seraphina folded her arms."Selene is not a scout."Another pause."She's not a warrior."

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 97: THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE

    The moment the chamber door shut behind him, Damian stopped.Completely.Silence rushed toward him immediately.Not the silence of a council chamber.Not the silence of discipline.Not the silence he wore like armor every day.This silence was different.It was empty.And for some reason, that made it worse.For a long moment, he simply stood there.Motionless.The room around him remained exactly as he had left it earlier.The desk.The maps.The reports stacked neatly in one corner.The unfinished correspondence waiting for his attention.The responsibilities of an Alpha.The responsibilities of a leader.The responsibilities that had always come first.Always.Damian stared at them.Then looked away.Because for the first time in years, none of it felt urgent enough.His jaw tightened.Slowly, he crossed the room.His steps echoed faintly against the stone floor.When he reached the desk, he placed both hands against its surface and lowered his head.A breath escaped him.Long.Hea

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 96: THE QUESTIONS THEY DIDN'T ASK

    The meeting ended.But the tension did not.It followed them out of the council chamber like a shadow.The elders left in small groups, their voices lowered, their expressions thoughtful.Some looked concerned.Others looked suspicious.And a few looked afraid.The mention of the Nightfalls had seen to that.Seraphina barely noticed any of them.Her attention remained fixed on one person.Damian.He was already walking away.His long strides carried him toward the corridor without hesitation.Without explanation.Without looking back.Just as he always did.Yet something felt different this time.She stood near the council table long after everyone began leaving.Her thoughts replayed the meeting over and over.Not the discussion about the Nightfalls.Not the unstable shift.Not even the attack.Only two words.She was.The memory refused to leave her alone.A servant.A wolf.Not a servant.She was.The conversation repeated endlessly inside her mind.And the more she thought about i

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 95: NOT A SERVANT

    The council chamber had not known peace since the attack.Voices rose and fell across the long stone table.Elders debated.Guards stood watch near the doors.Several members of the council had been summoned earlier than usual, and judging by the tension hanging over the room, none of them were pleased about it.At the head of the table sat Damian.Silent.Listening.His expression revealed nothing.To most of those present, it appeared as though he was simply allowing the elders to exhaust themselves.But Liam knew better.The Alpha had barely slept in days.And somehow, that wasn't what concerned Liam most."The rumors are spreading."An elder's voice cut through the chamber."The entire pack is talking about it."Another elder nodded."They should be.""The first shift alone would have been enough. The escape into the forest only made matters worse."Murmurs of agreement followed."The younger wolves are frightened.""The patrols are asking questions.""We still do not have all the

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 94: THE CRACKS IN CERTAINTY

    The room remained quiet after Damian's words faded.Neither of them spoke.The apology lingered between them.Heavy.Unsettled.Real.Selene sat motionless on the edge of the bed, her fingers curled tightly into the blanket beneath her hands.She had imagined this moment before.Not often.But enough.Enough to wonder what she would say if the Alpha ever admitted he was wrong.Enough to imagine confronting him.Demanding answers.Making him understand.Yet now that it had happened, she felt none of the satisfaction she expected.Only confusion.A strange, exhausting confusion.Her eyes lowered.Then slowly lifted again.Damian had not moved.He stood exactly where he had been, saying nothing further.No excuses.No defense.No attempt to lessen what happened.Just silence.As though he had finally spoken the truth and had nothing left to hide behind.Selene hated that.Because anger was easier.Anger gave her something solid to hold.Something familiar.This uncertainty felt far more d

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 93: THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US

    The silence that followed Selene's question felt endless.She sat motionless on the edge of the bed, her eyes lowered, her chest still tight from everything she had said. The tears had stopped falling, but the ache remained.Across from her, Damian stood quietly.For once, the Alpha of Silvermoon looked like a man searching for the right words instead of someone who always had the answers.Selene almost laughed at the irony.For years, she had imagined what she would say if she ever had the chance to confront him.Now that the moment had arrived, neither of them seemed to know where to begin.Finally, Damian exhaled slowly."I never wanted you to feel abandoned."Selene's jaw tightened.The statement sounded sincere.That was what made it hurt."Then why did I?" she asked softly.Damian looked away briefly before meeting her gaze again."Because I made mistakes."The admission surprised her.Not because she thought he was incapable of making mistakes.Because she never expected him to

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 5: DAMIAN STORMCREST

    Damian Stormcrest walked through the castle like he owned it. Yes, he was in chargeNot because he was the Alpha, but because he had the weight of the pack on his shoulders.His tall figure, broad shoulders and a hard body made him look like he was sculpted for battles. He moved like a force in th

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 4: PACK POLITICS

    The din of voices in the dining hall rolled over Selene like a crashing wave. The clinking of silverware against porcelain and the low hum of laughter and conversation created a backdrop of indifference that Selene had grown used to. Her hands trembled as she carried the heavy tray, laden with plat

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 3: ORPHANED SLAVE

    Selene’s hands trembled as she scrubbed the worn-out sofa. The fabric was stiff from years of use; the dust caked deep into its fibres.Each of her rags seemed to leave behind more grime than it removed, but she didn’t dare stop. She couldn’t afford to. Not with the heavy weight of eyes always watch

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 2: STRUGGLES

    Selene’s breathing slowed, but the ache from the nightmare she just had in her chest remained, as real and raw as the day had all happened. Ten years had passed, yet the memories of her family’s past lingered, refusing to fade away and always reoccurring in her dreams.No matter how much time went b
