POV: ARTHUR

The iron gates of the Black Ridge border sat closed, massive and unyielding against the grey mountain sky.

I pulled my horse to a sudden halt, the beast snorting violently, its hooves kicking up dark mud. Behind me, Beta Marcus and a small squad of four handpicked warriors pulled up, their faces grim, their weapons drawn but held low.

Above us, perched atop the fortified border wall, stood a dozen Black Ridge archers, their bows drawn taut, arrows tipped with silver aimed squarely

  • HE CALLED HER PLUMP, NOW HE’LL BEG TO KEEP HER   Chapter 62: Darius Claims Nothing

    POV: EvanaThe courtyard of the Black Ridge lower market was humming with an anxious, restless energy.Snow fell softly over the wooden stalls, dusting the stacks of winter grain and heavy wools. As I walked through the cobblestone paths alongside Darius, flanked by four elite guards, I could feel the sharp, heavy gazes of the visiting foreign merchants following our every step.News of the Sovereign Council's ultimatum had leaked. It was impossible to keep a secret of that magnitude quiet for long, and the regional packs were terrified."Is it true, Alpha?" a broad-shouldered merchant from the western valleys called out, stepping forward from his wagon, bowing nervously. "Is Lady Evana to be declared your official Luna at the solstice? Will the Black Ridge pack officially claim her bloodline before the southern Alphas march?"I froze, my breath catching in my throat. My hands clenched inside the warm pockets of my red wool cloak.Before I could speak, before the familiar, defensive k

  • HE CALLED HER PLUMP, NOW HE’LL BEG TO KEEP HER   Chapter 61: The Choice That Could Start A War

    POV: EvanaThe dark parchment crumbled in my fist, the glowing silver runes fading to a dull, ash-gray.The air in the high tower felt suddenly thin, as if the mysterious declaration from the Continental Sovereign Council had sucked the warmth right out of the stone room. Below us, the iron bell continued to chime its heavy, rhythmic warning, its echo rolling over the snow-covered peaks of Black Ridge like the rumble of approaching thunder."They cannot do this," I whispered, my voice shaking with an anger that burned far hotter than fear. "I am not a piece on a board. I am not a prize to be handed to whichever Alpha stands victorious over a heap of bodies!"Darius stepped into my space, his broad shoulders blocking the cold wind blowing through the open stone archway. He placed both of his massive, warm hands on my shoulders, grounding me instantly. His dark eyes were fierce, blazing with a lethal, absolute resolve."Listen to me, Evana," Darius said, his deep voice carrying a quiet

  • HE CALLED HER PLUMP, NOW HE’LL BEG TO KEEP HER   Chapter 60: The Woman Between Two Alphas

    POV: EVANA The winter air was sharp and clear as I stood atop the high training tower of Black Ridge.Below me, the courtyard was alive with movement. Black Ridge guards were sparring in the snow, while several young women from the outer districts—she-wolves who had once been rejected by traditional pack committees—were practicing archery under the guidance of Darius’s elite instructors.My Moon-Blood magic thrummed softly beneath my skin, a warm, golden flame that felt stronger with every passing day. Since transferring my anchor to Black Ridge, my abilities hadn't just stabilized; they were evolving. The air around me practically vibrated with supernatural resonance. Yesterday, when I had walked through the lower medical wards, my mere presence had accelerated the healing of three wounded border guards, their flesh knitting together under the ambient silver light radiating from my hands.Envoys from three neutral territories had arrived at the keep over the last forty-eight hours.

  • HE CALLED HER PLUMP, NOW HE’LL BEG TO KEEP HER   Chapter 59: Letting Her Go

    POV: ARTHUR The High Council chamber was packed to absolute capacity, the air thick with tension, murmurs, and the bitter scent of anxious Alpha aura.Elders sat on elevated tiers of stone, their robes swept around them, while high-ranking pack officers lined the perimeter. News of my summons had spread quickly across the central territory. Everyone expected a call to arms—a formal declaration of war against Black Ridge to reclaim the Moon-Blood line that had slipped through our fingers.I walked to the center of the marble dais, wearing simple black leather armor. No ceremonial cape, no ancestral gold medallions, and no guards at my back.Beta Corwin stepped to the side, his expression unreadable, though his posture remained rigid as he watched the crowd."Elders of Crystal Moon," I began, my voice striking the stone pillars and echoing into the dead silence of the hall. "I have called this assembly to address the matter of Lady Evana and our northern borders."Elder Lucian leaned f

  • HE CALLED HER PLUMP, NOW HE’LL BEG TO KEEP HER   Chapter 58: Her Final Warning

    POV: EVANA The morning sun over the Black Ridge courtyard was blindingly clear, reflecting off the fresh white snow that dusted the battlements. I sat in my private solar, the quiet scratch of my quill filling the warm room as I wrote the final words I would ever address to the home I had left behind.Beside my desk, Darius stood quietly, leaning against the window frame. He didn't hover, and he didn't read over my shoulder. He simply offered his peaceful, unshakeable presence, giving me the space to close the final chapter of my past on my own terms.I blotted the ink, folded the heavy parchment, and sealed it with the dark silver wax of my own personal crest, not the crest of Crystal Moon, nor the crest of Black Ridge, but the mark of the Moon-Blood line that belonged entirely to me.Hours later, across the valley, that parchment rested in Arthur's hands.*****************************************************POV: ARTHURI unfolded the letter, my heart hammering a slow, painful rhyt

  • HE CALLED HER PLUMP, NOW HE’LL BEG TO KEEP HER   Chapter 57: The News Reaches Arthur

    POV: ARTHURThe crystal tumbler shattered against the far stone wall, sending sharp shards and amber liquid spraying across the tapestries.Inside my chest, my wolf was clawing violently at my ribs, his lethal, golden aura flaring so hot that the candles on my desk flickered and died. A low, guttural growl vibrated through my throat, a terrifying, primal sound that echoed off the high rafters of the great hall.Slay him, the beast inside roared, flooding my veins with a burning, blinding rage. Border, breach, tear, claim, mine, MINE!"Arthur, calm down!" Corwin shouted, stepping into a defensive stance near the heavy oak door, his hand resting on the hilt of his blade. The air in the room was thick with static, my Alpha pressure expanding until the heavy timber beam ceiling groaned under the force of my magic."Say it again," I bit out, my voice so deep and distorted by the beast that it barely sounded human. I leaned over my desk, my knuckles turning white, the thick wood cracking be
