Hayden’s POV

Alex, Lucious, and Brian followed me as we drove to the meeting. My fingers tightened around the wheel, already preparing myself for the elders’ opposition. I’d done this dance with them countless times, so this wouldn’t be any different. I was the Alpha. They followed my lead.

When we arrived, we headed straight for the conference hall. The elders were already seated, waiting for my arrival. As I entered, they rose and greeted me, their eyes full of that familiar mix of respect and silent judgment.

I took my seat at the head of the long table, and only then did they sit. My right-hand men, Alex, Lucious, and Brian, took their usual spots beside me.

I adjusted my tie once more and gave the signal for the meeting to begin.

As I'd expected, Elder Regan spoke first. He was the oldest of the council, and easily the most outspoken, bold to the point of arrogance if I must say.

“Alpha,” he began, his tone heavy with borrowed authority, “at our last meeting we agreed you must g

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Fragment of Power

    Abby’s POVLaughter drifted to my ears and I limped toward the sound, groping through the darkness with my hands. The voices grew clearer, and a sliver of light leaked from beneath a door.“Over there,” Carla whispered urgently.I stumbled forward and pushed the door open. Derek’s hand froze mid-air, his head snapping toward me.“Who the hell…” His voice caught. “…Abby? What are you doing here?”My gaze flew past him, and my stomach dropped so hard I thought I might vomit.Hayden hung from suspended chains. His body was battered and soaked in blood, his head lolled forward against his chest like he'd already given up.“What are you doing?” I screamed. The sound ripped out of me, ugly and broken. “What the hell are you doing, Derek?!”His eyes were bloodshot, wild. “Abby, stay out of this.”“No.” My throat burned. “I won’t let you kill him.”He scoffed bitterly. “Why? You still have feelings for him? After everything he’s done to you?” His voice cracked. “I’ve always treated you right,

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    The Last Truth He Heard

    Hayden's POV I parked at the location Abby had sent and stopped the engine. She wanted to talk. To resolve this. The thought alone made my chest ache.I couldn’t waste another second. I needed to tell her I was sorry for everything. For losing control. For the scene I’d caused in her restaurant. For still loving her when I had no right to.I stepped out of the car.She stood alone by the river railings, her back to me, auburn hair stirring in the night breeze.Relief hit me so hard my knees almost buckled.“Abby,” I called softly. “I… I’m deeply sorry for…”She turned. Shock froze me.It wasn’t Abby.The woman’s lips curled into a slow, wicked smirk. A trap. Before I could react, a sharp sting bit the side of my neck, cold and burning. My vision blurred and darkness swallowed the world.*****A splash of cold water slammed into my face, jolting me awake. I sucked in a harsh breath, water dripping down my face and chest. My shirt was gone.My hands were stretched above me, shackled

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Carla

    Abby's POVI tossed my phone onto the bed after ending the call from Ruby. I didn’t care if Hayden was missing or not. He couldn’t fool me into believing that lie.That man had almost killed Derek. In my restaurant, in front of customers. Worse, in front of my children. He would never change. Never.I leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to Amy’s forehead, then moved to Asher and did the same. I always checked on them before they slept, sometimes even reading them bedtime stories.But tonight, they wouldn’t listen to a story. I’d been soothing them nonstop since we left the restaurant. Amy had even developed a fever from all the crying after witnessing that horrible scene.I hissed softly as I tucked the blanket around them properly, my hands shaking with restrained fury. I wasn’t wrong to call Hayden a monster. No one in their right mind would behave like an animal in front of children.I slipped out of their room and walked down the hallway, my steps sharp, controlled, furious. I n

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    This Helpless Fear

    Alex’s POVI managed to stop some of the people who were recording, and persuaded others to delete the videos from their phones, offering money enticing enough to silence them.The humans agreed easily, but a few werewolves didn’t. Either they were Derek’s men, or Hayden’s enemies, sniffing for any loophole they could exploit.Whichever it was, damage control was already slipping through my fingers. The videos had made it online in an edited and twisted version. And they were spreading fast. Wildfire fast.I informed Hayden’s PR and legal teams immediately. The narrative online was deliberate, crafted to paint Hayden as a violent, unstable powerful figure intimidating weak people. The werewolf council would easily grab this and the naive humans would make matters worse.When I finished inside the restaurant, I stepped out and nearly collided with Ruby as she walked in. Her face shut me out completely before I could even open my mouth.She was definitely siding with Abby. I didn’t blam

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    A Monster

    Hayden’s POV After I left Abby’s restaurant this morning, my entire system flipped upside down. Throughout the conference meeting, I couldn’t focus on a single thing being said. Every question thrown at me dragged a stammer out of my mouth before I could force together something that might sound reasonable. If it even sounded reasonable at all.By the time the meeting finally ended, I was grateful, relieved enough to feel it in my bones. I didn’t wait, I mindlinked Alex and Brian immediately, telling them we were leaving. I was already in the car before they stepped out. I slid behind the wheel like a man escaping something he couldn’t outrun.The moment the two settled in, I drove off.“You’re going back to the restaurant?” Alex asked, stating the obvious. I didn’t bother answering.One hand gripped the steering wheel, the other rested against my lips as my thoughts spun in circles. I didn’t want to irritate Abby further, or push her the way I did this morning. That was why I’d aske

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Threat Returns

    Abby's POV I couldn’t go back home anymore. Not after running straight into the one person I wanted to avoid today. Now all I could do was stay strong, keep my mask on, and pray he didn’t get even one more hint that I was the woman he thought I was.But as I stayed in the restaurant, my heartbeat never settled. Every time the entrance door opened, something painful splintered through my chest. Every deep male voice, every tall figure felt like it could be him.Ruby noticed. Of course she noticed. My head had snapped toward the door at least a hundred times.“Abby,” she murmured softly from behind the counter, “I really think you should go rest in the office. Just for a bit.”“No.” My voice sounded steadier than I felt. “I’m fine. I can’t keep hiding forever. I can’t keep being a coward when my kids’ safety might be at stake.”Ruby exhaled, her eyes softening.“Okay… but I’m watching you,” she whispered, giving my hand a gentle squeeze.So I stayed outside, supervising the staff along
