A Choice Delayed

The moment I stepped into the twins’ room, the world outside stopped mattering.

The war drums.

The arguments between Damien and Zephyr. The prophecy whispered doom into my ear. All of it quieted the second I saw my children sleeping—tiny chests rising and falling, unaware that the world wanted to use them, fear them, or destroy them.

My heart cracked open. I lowered myself to the floor beside their beds and let my fingers hover above their warm skin.

Peace. I didn’t realize how starved I was for it.

A soft knock came from the door.

I didn’t even need to turn.

Damien’s scent—dark smoke and wolf heat—rolled into the room first. Zephyr’s followed right behind, cooler, sharper, threaded with storm air.

Of course.

They couldn’t even give me five minutes.

“Elena,” Damien said, voice tight. “We need to finish this conversation.”

Zephyr stepped in, eyes calm but intense. “No—we need to let her breathe.”

I stood slowly, turning to face them. Both alphas froze as if bracing for

    ZEPHYR’S TEMPTATIONThe night air tastes like storm and danger when I step out of the pack house. My mind is still burning from Damien’s betrayal, the weight of it pressing on my chest like a physical stone. I need space. Air. Anything that doesn’t feel like him.But I don’t get far.A shadow detaches from the trees—smooth, silent, unmistakable.Zephyr.My heart kicks hard, the way it always does around him, as if it recognizes something my mind still refuses to accept.“You shouldn’t be out here alone,” he murmurs.His voice is deep, warm, and threaded with something that sends a shiver across my skin. Concern. Longing. Something more dangerous than either.“I’m fine,” I lied. “I just needed to clear my head.”Zephyr steps closer, and the moonlight catches the silver in his hair and the hunger in his eyes. He studies me—really studies me—like he’s reading every bruise inside me.“Elena,” he says softly, “you’re shaking.”I don’t even realize it until he points it out.His hand rises,

    The Luna’s FuryElena POVI felt him the moment I stepped across the threshold of the war room—the bond tightening in my chest like a snare catching bone. Damien had tried to suppress it, I could tell. But I could also sense fear—fear of me, fear about me, fear about what I might discover.Good.He should be afraid.I’d finally pieced together enough scraps—whispers in hallways, overheard orders, the sudden silencing of anyone who spoke of the eastern borders. Damien’s strategy meetings suddenly closed to me. His abrupt decision to assign guards to follow my every move. And worst of all—the petition he’d secretly sent to the Council for authorization to use “unregulated Luna power” in wartime.My power.My body.My blood.Without my consent.Without my knowledge.I walked into the chamber, the doors slamming against stone as if pushed by the weight of my fury alone.“Everyone out,” I said.The Alphas and commanders exchanged looks. Damien opened his mouth as if to issue a command tha

    The Alpha’s Betrayal Elena felt his eyes on her long before she turned. Damien leaned against the balcony rail of the North Wing, moonlight carving silver over his wolf-marked skin. For a moment—just a moment—she allowed herself to believe he might be there simply because he missed her. Because despite everything, some part of him still saw her as more than a weapon.But then his voice came. Low, calculated.“Your display at the Trial impressed them. Even the Council can’t deny your power now.”She kept her back straight. “I didn’t do it for them.”“No,” Damien murmured, stepping closer. “You did it because you had no choice. I understand that more than you think.”He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Such a gentle touch… and yet her heart recoiled.“Don’t,” she whispered.He froze, hand lingering in the air between them. “You think I enjoy forcing you to prove yourself?”“I think you enjoy control,” she said. “And I think you enjoy reminding me that I don’t have any.” His jaw

    The Trial of PowerElenaThe Council chamber felt like a graveyard. Ancient stone, frozen torches, walls painted with long-forgotten wars. And those eyes—cold, weighing, hungry for a mistake.They weren’t here to test me.They were here to destroy me.My pulse pounded in my throat as I stood alone beneath the moon sigil carved into the marble floor. A symbol of power… and judgment.“Bring in the accused,” a voice announced from somewhere above, echoing like thunder.Accused. Not Luna. Not even a wolf. Accused.I should’ve been used to humiliation by now—but this was different. This time, I could feel the magic under my skin reacting, burning, like it wanted to break out.I swallowed hard, hands trembling as the High Councilor rose from his seat.“Elena Vale,” he called, voice sharp. “You are charged with uncontrolled manifestation of forbidden abilities—Moonfire and Bloodbinding. State your defense.”“My powers manifested to save lives, not take them,” I said, trying not to sound afra

    The Moon’s ProphecySnow fell in silent spirals as Elena climbed the stone steps leading to the Moon Shrine. The wind howled across the mountain peak, carrying whispers that felt older than the world itself. Behind her, two guards followed at a respectful distance—Damien’s orders. Zephyr had offered to escort her, but Elena refused. She needed clarity, not another tug-of-war between the two alphas circling her life like rival storms. Tonight was the Full Blood Moon.The night the priestess had insisted Elena must come.The moment Elena stepped inside the shrine, warmth wrapped around her like a living breath. Torches flickered with blue flames. Ancient symbols carved into the walls glowed faintly. A hum—soft, rhythmic, pulsing—echoed in her chest, as though the shrine recognized her.At the center of the circular hall, Priestess Nyra knelt before a crescent-shaped altar carved from moonstone. Her long silver braids swept the floor as she rose to greet Elena, eyes glowing with that ee
