The air was crisp that morning, the kind of sharp cold that made every sound clearer. Wolves moved across the training grounds, shifting into their routines, but tension still clung to the atmosphere. Veyra stood near the edge, hands clasped behind her back, waiting. Her posture was calm, respectful, almost soldier-like. She didn’t speak unless spoken to, and she didn’t try to force herself into the pack’s rhythm. She simply watched and waited.

Damien approached with Korven beside him.

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 135- Cracks in the Bond

    A week passed after the truth came out.A week since Selene learned who Garrick truly was.A week since she discovered Damien had known all along.And a week since she had spoken more than a few words to either of them.The entire Shadowfang pack felt the change.It lingered in the air like an approaching storm, invisible yet impossible to ignore. Wolves lowered their voices when Selene walked past. Warriors exchanged uneasy glances whenever Damien appeared. Even the younger pack members seemed more subdued than usual, sensing the tension between their Alpha and Luna without understanding its cause.Selene hated it.She hated being the center of attention. She hated that everyone could feel her pain. Most of all, she hated that despite everything, a part of her still missed Damien.Every morning she woke to find breakfast waiting outside her door.Every afternoon she discovered warriors subtly shadowing her movements around the territory.Every evening Elder Myra appeared with some ex

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 134- Cracks

    Veyra noticed something was wrong the moment the communication crystal lit up. The connection usually came quickly, sharply, like a command cutting through silence. But this time there was delay. Too much delay. When the image finally formed, the Witch Queen and the Rogue King were already there, both watching her instead of speaking. That alone made Veyra’s chest tighten. Something had changed.“My Queen,” Veyra said carefully, keeping her voice steady. The Rogue King was the first to speak, his tone calm but probing.“Tell me, Veyra… does your Alpha know what you’ve been doing?” The question was direct enough to make her fingers tighten around the crystal, but she didn’t show it. “No,” she answered. The Witch Queen didn’t react. She simply studied her in silence, as if measuring something unseen. The pause stretched longer than necessary, and Veyra began to realize this wasn’t a normal report.Finally, the Rogue King tilted his head slightly. “And yet you still haven’t been discover

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 133- The Dead Space

    The packhouse felt different after the fight between Selene and Damien. They didn’t know what happened but they had felt the tension.Selene hadn’t moved from her room since the moment she stormed out of Damien’s office, In the beginning she felt angry. Then, as the hours bled together, the heat had drained out of herNow, she was neither angry nor sad just numb.She sat on the edge of her mattress, her knees pressed against her chest staring into the sky, mind blankHer mother had died protecting her.Her father had spent a lifetime blaming her for that sacrifice.A broken sob escaped her lips, as her emotions fluctuated with her powers like her child in her belly was reacting to her emotionsA soft, hesitant knock came from the doorSelene stiffened, her hands dropping from her face, but she didn’t look toward the entryway.“Selene,” Damien’s voice called out from the hallway. “Open the door. Please.”She didn’t move an inch. She barely even allowed herself to breathe, her gaze rema

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 132- The Weight of Blood

    The quiet of the gardens hadn't calmed Selene, instead it had only let the hurt she was feeling turn into anger. She left her untouched tea on the stone bench, turned back toward the packhouse, She was done waiting for the everyone in this house to decide what she was allowed to know, She was the Luna not a fragile porcelain Inside the office, Damien sat with his head buried in his hands. The desk around him was a chaotic mess of papers. Every muscle in his body ached with a bone-deep fatigue, his mind spinning in endless circles over the Witch Queen's unseen chess moves. He felt entirely drained, hollowed out by the silent warfare threatening his pack and the suffocating distance stretching between him and his mate.The heavy oak door swung wide, banging loudly against the wall.Damien flinched slightly at the sound, his shoulders tensing defensively as he snapped his head up. But the moment his eyes landed on Selene standing in the doorway, the exhaustion entirely vanished from his

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 131- The beginning

    The morning light that filtered through the high windows of the Shadowfang dining hall was pale and devoid of warmth. It did not bring the usual comfort of a new day; instead, it only served to illuminate the stark, icy distance that had settled over the packhouse.Selene sat at the long wooden table, a cup of tea cooling between her hands. She wasn't hiding in her room, nor was she weeping. Her posture was perfectly straight, her expression entirely blank as she stared down at the dark amber liquid. When a nearby guard bowed she returned it with a faint, hollow smileWhen Damien entered the room, the air grew instantly heavy and tense.He looked as though he hadn’t slept a single minute. The sharp line of his jaw was shadowed with stubble, and his clothes were the same ones he had worn during the confrontation the night before. His eyes immediately sought out Selene, a desperate, vulnerable flash breaking through his alpha composure.He walked over to the table, stepping into her spa

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 130- Shifting Loyalties

    Veyra sat alone inside her room, the curtains drawn tightly as moonlight barely slipped through the cracks. The communication crystal rested in her hand, colder than usual against her skin. For a long moment, she simply stared at it, her thoughts restless. Ever since the last attack, something had changed not only inside Shadowfang, but inside her too. Malric’s face kept flashing through her mind.Everything was becoming harder to balance.Taking a slow breath, she activated the crystal.Dark energy flickered across its surface before the figures of the Witch Queen and Rogue King appeared. The Witch Queen stood tall and graceful as always, white hair cascading over her shoulders, her pale eyes unreadable. Beside her, the Rogue King leaned against his throne lazily, though the dangerous look in his scarred face never faded.Before either of them could speak, Veyra straightened slightly. “I wasn’t aware Shadowfang would be ambushed tonight,” she said carefully. “Or tested.”The words had

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 40– Moonlight Reckoning

    The forest trembled with motion. Shadows twisted and surged, dozens of rogue figures moving in silent, lethal waves. Their eyes gleamed like fractured gold under the moonlight, their claws catching the silver glow, sharp as razors. Selene’s pulse thundered in her ears, echoing the rhythm of her wol

    The forest was too still. No wind. No sound. Even the crickets had gone silent.Selene stood by her window, staring at the bundle of black feathers now sealed inside a glass jar on her desk. The witches’ mark looked harmless, almost delicate but her wolf wouldn’t stop pacing.

    The first sign was silence.Not the peaceful kind that came after work, when the packhouse finally quieted and everyone settled down but a heavy, humming stillness that didn’t belong.Selene stood by the kitchen window, drying her hands. Outside, twilight clung to the trees, t
