Damien’s Rage

The world dissolved into light.

The forest, the trees, even the sound of her own sobs—everything vanished beneath the blinding glow pouring from Elena’s body.

When it faded, smoke hung in the air, and the ground was scorched in a wide circle around her.

Zephyr lay motionless in the center.

“Zephyr!” Her voice cracked as she pressed her trembling hands to his chest. Warm blood seeped between her fingers.

His heart beat once, then paused.

“No… no, please—”

She didn’t notice Damien at first, not until his shadow fell over her. His chest heaved, his eyes gleaming molten gold.

Fury rolled off him in waves, so thick it made the air hard to breathe.

“Move,” he ordered.

Elena’s tears blurred her vision. “He’s dying!”

“I said move!”

When she didn’t, Damien grabbed her arm, yanking her away. His grip burned. “He shouldn’t have touched you. He shouldn’t have been here.”

Her rage snapped. “He was protecting me! You were the one who drove me to run!”

Damien’s claws flexed, digging

    The Escape Plan Elena POVI learned the sound of fear has a heartbeat.It thuds in my ears as I press my palm to my stomach, feeling the twins stir—restless, aware, as if the night itself has whispered danger into their blood. The moon hangs low, bruised and swollen, casting silver through the cracks of the abandoned watchtower where Zephyr waits for me.I shouldn’t be here.Every instinct Damien carved into me screams return. Obey. Stay. But another instinct—older, sharper—tightens its grip around my ribs.Run.Zephyr steps from the shadows when I enter, his presence a quiet contrast to the storm raging inside me. He looks thinner than the last time I saw him, eyes rimmed with exhaustion, but when he meets my gaze, there is no doubt there. Only resolve.“You came,” he says softly.“For my children,” I reply. “Say what you need to say.”He nods, understanding the unspoken truth between us. This isn’t romance. This isn’t temptation. This is survival.Zephyr unrolls a rough map ac

    The Council’s VerdictThe chains were made of moonsteel.Elena felt them before she saw them — cold, humming, alive with suppression magic that crawled over her skin like frost. Each link pressed against her wrists and ankles, dampening her power, muting the fire that lived in her blood. Not extinguishing it. Never that. Only restraining it, like a beast held by fragile bars.The Council chamber loomed before her, carved from ancient stone and bone, its domed ceiling etched with symbols older than packs, older than alphas. Torches burned with pale blue flames, casting long shadows that twisted along the walls like watching spirits.She lifted her chin anyway.Fear would not save her. Submission would not spare her.The twins stirred inside her, uneasy — sensing danger, sensing judgment. Her hand pressed instinctively to her belly, and a low murmur rippled through the chamber.A warning.“Bring the Luna forward,” intoned the High Arbiter.Luna.The word still carried weight here, even

    The Shadow’s KissThe night had draped its velvet cloak over the pack territory, and the stars hung like distant lanterns in the black expanse. A cool breeze whispered through the trees, stirring the leaves and carrying with it the scent of pine and earth — the scent of home. Yet tonight, home felt foreign to Elena. Her heart was a battlefield of emotions, each beat echoing the chaos inside her.She stood alone on the cliff’s edge, gazing out across the sprawling forest below, the moon casting silver light that shimmered on the dew-kissed leaves. The twins, restless in her belly, moved with growing strength — a constant reminder of the responsibility she bore and the uncertain future looming before her.Zephyr’s voice broke the silence softly, like a promise carried on the wind.“Elena.”She turned slowly, her breath catching as she saw him step out from the shadows, his dark eyes shining with an intensity that pulled at something deep within her.“I shouldn’t be here,” she whispere

    The Alpha’s DesperationThe cold night air clung to my skin as I stood alone on the balcony, overlooking the dark forest that embraced the packhouse. The moon hung high, casting silver light over everything, but it did little to brighten the shadows of doubt and pain swirling inside me.Damien’s footsteps approached quietly behind me. My heart clenched—a storm of emotions rising at the sound of his presence. I didn’t turn around. Not yet. Not until I was ready to face the man who had torn me apart, and yet who still haunted my thoughts with the ghost of what we could have been.“Elena,” he said softly, his voice rough and trembling with an urgency I’d never heard before. “Please… hear me out.”I took a slow breath, forcing myself to stay steady. “Why should I listen now? After all the lies, the betrayals?”His voice cracked. “Because I’m broken without you. Because I know I destroyed everything, but I want to fix it. I want to protect you and the twins, to be the mate I promised I’d

    The Luna’s StandThe first scream tore through the night like a blade.Elena felt it in her bones before the sound reached her ears — a violent ripple through the bond she shared with the land, the pack, the moon itself. She rose from her seat abruptly, heart hammering, one hand flying instinctively to her swollen belly as power surged awake beneath her skin.Attack.The word echoed through her mind as torches flared along the outer walls. Wolves shifted mid-run, armor clanging, weapons drawn. The night erupted into chaos.“Elena!” someone shouted.But she was already moving.They came from the northern pass.Rogue wolves. Mercenaries. Packless killers drawn by rumors of a powerful Luna carrying twins destined to reshape the world. Elena reached the battlements just as the first wave hit.Blood splashed across the snow. Steel clashed against claws.And fear — raw, suffocating fear — rolled through the pack like smoke.She saw it in their eyes.They were waiting for Damien.Waiting fo

    Secrets in BloodThe moon hung low and full above the ancient clearing, its silver light filtering through the skeletal branches, casting long, eerie shadows on the frost-covered earth. The air was thick with anticipation—and dread.Elena stood at the center, her hands trembling but determined. Around her, the elders of the pack formed a solemn circle, their faces etched with worry and resolve. Tonight was no ordinary gathering. Tonight, the forbidden blood ritual would take place, a secret rite said to bind souls and reveal hidden truths.She glanced down at her swollen belly, feeling the twins’ subtle movements—one stirring restlessly, the other eerily still. The air around them pulsed faintly, a silent thrum of power that seemed to echo in her own veins.Zephyr stood close by, his gaze unwavering. Unlike Damien, who paced restlessly at the edge of the clearing, his jaw clenched tight, eyes shadowed with fury and fear. Both men were bound by the ritual, though for different reasons—
