The Wolf Inside

The wind howled through the ruined courtyard, sweeping ashes from the night’s destruction across the blood-stained stones.

Elena’s heartbeat echoed in her ears—wild, erratic—as the elder’s words from last night clawed through her mind.

A Rejected Luna will birth the twins of power.

Her. The words had been about her. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Damien’s furious expression, the shock in Zephyr’s silver eyes, the way everyone had looked at her like she was something…

  • HIS REJECTION, ANOTHER'S CLAIM,MY TWINS,MY POWER   CHAPTER 139

    The Choice Elena stood frozen at the edge of the battlefield, her heart hammering against her ribs like a caged wolf. Damien’s form lay crumpled, blood soaking the earth beneath him, and every instinct screamed at her to run to him, to hold him, to protect him. But the hunter moved with a precision that chilled her blood, eyes locked on the twins, who were barely keeping themselves upright amidst the chaos. Fire and dust swirled around her, fragments of trees and rubble flying in the wind, and she realized the magnitude of the choice before her. Every second she delayed, someone would die, and she could not save them all.Her mind raced, calculating odds, weighing lives against her instincts, and the twins’ glowing marks burned brighter, sensing the threat she could not yet fully confront. She could feel Damien’s presence, faint yet tethering her to the possibility of failure, and it broke her resolve in ways words could never describe. But the hunter was relentless, its ancient

    The Alpha FallsTime did not slow.It shattered.The hunter’s claws came down in a merciless arc, aimed not at Elena—but at the fragile space where her control had broken, where the twins’ power pulsed wildly, exposed and unguarded.Elena turned—Too late.The silver light flared violently, reacting without direction. The golden energy surged in the opposite direction, pulling toward Damien like a desperate lifeline.And in that fractured instant—Everything slipped.The hunter struck.A scream tore from Elena’s throat as she lunged forward, instinct overriding thought, but she could already feel it—She wouldn’t reach them in time.The claws were too fast.Too precise.Too certain.“No—!”The word broke apart in the air.And then—Something moved faster than the hunter.Damien.He didn’t think so.Didn’t hesitate.Didn’t weigh the cost.His body reacted before his mind could form the decision, driven by something deeper than instinct—something raw, violent, and absolute.Claim.Protect.Burn

    The Hunter’s TargetThe world did not explode.It narrowed.Every sound, every movement, every breath in the clearing drew inward until only one truth remained—sharp, undeniable, and terrifying.The hunter had chosen.It did not look at Damien.It did not look at Zephyr.It did not even look at the warriors still clashing at the edges of the battlefield.Its glowing eyes fixed on the twins.Elena felt the shift like a blade sliding beneath her ribs.“No…” The word slipped out before she could stop it, soft but breaking.The children stirred violently in her arms, their small bodies trembling against her chest. The golden mark flared brighter, radiating heat that pulsed toward Damien’s weakened form. The silver mark lashed outward in jagged bursts, unstable and defensive, as if trying to push something invisible away.They understood.Not with words.But with instinct.They were being hunted.The creature lowered itself slowly, its massive body coiling with predatory precision. There was no w

    The Battle of Three WolvesThe valley did not belong to any one side anymore.It belonged to war.The sky above had fractured further overnight, the silver crack now branching like a living wound across the heavens. It pulsed faintly, as if responding to the violence gathering below.And below—Everything was breaking.Moonborn warriors surged from the eastern ridge, their markings glowing faintly beneath their skin as they charged with disciplined fury. Opposite them, Council enforcers descended in silent formation, their movements precise, cold, almost mechanical.And between them—The rogues.No banners. No loyalty. No order.Only hunger.Kael stood at the center of it all.Not as a spectator.Not as a commander in comfort.But as something worse.A point of fracture.Every force in the valley moved toward him eventually, whether they meant to or not.Behind him, the ground was already scorched from earlier clashes. Bodies lay scattered in uneven patterns—some Moonborn, some Council, som

    The Kiss of GoodbyeThe battlefield did not breathe.It held itself in a fragile, trembling silence—like the world was waiting to see which life would be taken next.Damien was still on his knees.Blood soaked the ground beneath him, dark and spreading, his chest rising in uneven, shallow breaths. The hunter stood a few paces away, watching him now with patient, calculated hunger.Not rushing.Not wasting effort.It had already chosen how this would end.Elena felt the truth of it settle deep in her bones.The price had begun.Her fingers tightened around the twins as their cries softened into whimpers, their glowing marks flickering erratically, unstable under the weight of the power swirling through the clearing.“Stay behind me,” Zephyr said quietly.His voice was calm.Too calm.Elena turned her head slightly, studying him.There was blood on his shoulder.More along his side.A shallow cut across his jaw that hadn’t been there moments ago.He hadn’t said anything.Hadn’t complained.H

  • HIS REJECTION, ANOTHER'S CLAIM,MY TWINS,MY POWER   CHAPTER 134

    Damien’s ChoiceThe hunter moved like death given form.Its massive body cut through the air, claws aimed straight for Damien’s throat, its glowing eyes filled with a singular, ruthless purpose. There was no hesitation now. No calculation. Only the instinct to kill.Damien didn’t dodge.He stepped forward.“Elena—stay back!” he roared.His voice tore across the battlefield, commanding and raw, filled with a force that made even the trembling ground seem to still. Blood dripped from his side, his breathing uneven, but his stance did not falter.Behind him, Elena felt the world slow.The twins screamed in her arms.The silver and golden light spiraled violently, reacting to the danger, to Damien, to the choice unfolding before them.“Move!” Zephyr snapped, reaching for her.But Elena couldn’t.Because Damien wasn’t retreating.He was choosing.The hunter struck.Claws collided with Damien’s raised arm, ripping through flesh with a wet, tearing sound. Blood sprayed across the clearing, but
