Whispers of Power

The Council chamber loomed above me like a wolf’s open maw, ready to swallow me whole.

With every clink of my chains resonating louder than my heartbeat, the guards pulled me up the stone stairs.

Every movement caused welts to sting as the rough iron scraped against my skin. I saw the moon for the first time in days, and my breath froze in the chilly night air.

She hung swollen and pale above the treeline, a cruel, distant witness.Once, I believed she was my Goddess.

Now she only mocked me.

Brilliant light poured over my battered body as the massive double doors swung open. An arena of judgment and power, the Council chamber was already full.

The most powerful wolves occupied a circular tier, their eyes as keen as blades. Without reducing their voices, they whispered.

That’s the rejected mate.

Damien still keeps her? Why?

She’s weak. She should have been cast out or killed.

Like thorns, the words encircled me, each one more sharp than the one before it. I looked a

    Luna’s Courage The night screamed with thunder.Lightning tore across the sky as if the heavens themselves were bearing witness to the coming carnage.Elena ran.Barefoot, cloak clinging to her soaked skin, she stumbled down the slick path that led into the forest. The scent of wet earth, blood, and burning rage filled the air.Her wolf thrashed inside her chest, torn between fear and something older—primal.“Damien, please…” she whispered, voice trembling as another flash of lightning illuminated the trees. In that fleeting burst of light, she saw them—two massive shadows locked in a deadly circle.One black at midnight.The other silver like the moon.Damien and Zephyr.The Alphas faced each other in the storm, fur bristling, teeth bared, growls rolling like thunder. The ground trembled beneath their power.“Stop!” Elena cried, but her voice was swallowed by the storm.Damien’s wolf lunged first—an explosion of muscle and fury. His claws raked across Zephyr’s flank, drawing blood.

    The Jealous Alpha The sound of boots striking stone echoed sharply through the corridor—fast, angry, unstoppable. Elena’s pulse quickened. She didn’t need to see him to know who it was. The very air shifted when Damien was near, thick with power and something far more dangerous—possessive rage.Zephyr’s hand still rested on her shoulder. They’d barely escaped the aftermath of her vision, and he refused to leave her side until she steadied herself. But now… his presence could mean death.“Elena,” Zephyr murmured, sensing the approaching storm. “Breathe. Don’t panic.”Her heart hammered just as the heavy door to her chamber burst open with a violent crack.Damien stood there, golden eyes burning, his aura a storm of fury that made the candles flicker and die.For a long moment, no one spoke. The silence between the three of them hung heavier than chains.Then Damien’s voice cut through the stillness, low and deadly. “Tell me,” he said, each word sharp as a blade against her throat, “w

    Forbidden VisionsElena awoke drenched in sweat. Her chest heaved as if she had been running from something unseen. Moonlight spilled through the latticed windows, casting silver patterns across her room, but the gentle light did nothing to calm the storm raging inside her.Her wolf stirred, restless and uneasy. Claws dragged softly against the floor, sensing danger before her conscious mind could. Every fiber of her being hummed with tension — a silent warning. What she felt in her dreams was no ordinary nightmare.For days, she’d battled strange pulses from within. The twins’ energy vibrated through her body in ways that were both frightening and exhilarating. But last night’s vision — or was it a premonition? — had shaken her to the core.She pressed a trembling hand to her belly, feeling tiny kicks and shifts from the twins. Her heart clenched. Their energy pulsed with life — but also something far older, far darker. Something whispering secrets she wasn’t ready to hear.“I… I

    The Elder’s Words The great hall was silent now.The chaos of the previous night lingered like smoke in the air.Torches flickered as the pack members and council gathered cautiously, their eyes darting nervously between Damien, Elena, and the shadows that had vanished as quickly as they appeared.But Elena could feel a tremor in the air — something ancient, something waiting.A hush fell when the massive double doors at the end of the hall creaked open.All eyes turned toward the entrance.And then she saw him — the Elder.He was old. Impossibly old.His silver hair fell like a waterfall over his shoulders.His eyes were pale and luminous, as if reflecting another world entirely.Every step he took resonated with authority and centuries of unseen power.Even Damien, fierce and unyielding, took a half-step back, tension rippling across his shoulders.“Elena,” the Elder’s voice was soft, yet it carried through the hall like a bell tolling a warning.“Come forward.”Elena’s stomach twi

    Chains of Desire The air in the castle was heavy.Each step Elena took echoed against cold stone, a reminder of the chains she carried—seen and unseen.She had learned to move carefully under Damien’s gaze.But tonight… something had shifted.He was waiting.Not by the door. Not in the corridor.In the shadowed corner of the great hall—his golden eyes glinting like molten metal in the dim torchlight.He didn’t move when she entered. Yet the moment she drew near, a faint tilt of his head carried power, dominance, and something darker—desire.Elena’s throat tightened.Her pulse raced, not from fear alone but from the pull she could never escape.The pack’s whispers, the seer’s warnings, the twins’ pulsing energy—they tangled together inside her until her thoughts became a storm.“Good evening,” Damien’s voice broke the silence—velvet over steel.“Elena.”He stepped forward.His shadow fell over her feet, warm, commanding.Her wolf stirred uneasily, caught between defiance and submissi

    Pack’s Hatred Elena sat alone in her chamber.The dim light of dusk filtered through the tall windows, casting long, cold shadows across the floor.The twins stirred within her, their small, urgent movements pressing against her like a heartbeat she could feel in her very soul.Every flutter sent a wave of warmth through her body—a reminder of the life, and power, she carried.But power was dangerous.In a pack like Damien’s, anything extraordinary was a threat—and Elena had already learned the cost of standing out.The whispers started that evening, creeping through the hallways like tendrils of smoke.First, it was just a glance, a quick eye darting in her direction.Then murmurs—soft, deliberate, venomous.“She’s cursed.”“She’s no true Luna.”“She’s bringing ruin to the pack.”Elena’s pulse tightened with every word that leaked through the thin walls of her chamber.She could feel the weight of their hatred pressing down on her—suffocating, invasive.Each murmur was like a knife,
