last update Last Updated: 2025-12-18 21:59:09

Morning came with the scent of frost and damp earth. Wolves patrolled, trained, and prepared for the day ahead. Yet even with the activity, the tension from the night before lingered like a low hum beneath everything.

Damien found Selene leaning against a tree at the edge of the clearing, eyes on the younger wolves practicing maneuvers. “What are you thinking about?” he asked quietly.

Selene didn’t turn immediately. “You,” she said finally. “And her.” Her gaze shifted to the far edge of the clearing, where Veyra was assisting a young wolf in correcting his stance. “I don’t like how quickly you’re trusting her.”

Damien crossed his arms. “I’m not blind. I saw what she did yesterday. She protected the boy. Took the hit we all expected someone else to take. That matters, Selene.”

Selene’s wolf shifted beneath her skin, tense. “And it could matter because she wants us to see it. Every move is calculated. That girl doesn’t stumble, doesn’t react like normal wolves. And yet, you want to take

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 61 – Subtle Moves

    The morning sun spilled across the training grounds, catching the frost on the grass and the taut muscles of the pack. Wolves moved through coordinated drills, practicing stances, attacks, and defensive maneuvers. The air was tense but disciplined, each movement sharp and deliberate. Every snap of a branch, every scraping footfall, felt magnified in the crisp air.Veyra walked among them, observing quietly. She didn’t rush to intervene, only adjusting stances, correcting angles, or giving brief, soft-spoken advice when necessary. Her calm efficiency drew the younger wolves closer, their respect growing naturally. Each small nod, each careful correction, reinforced her place not by authority, but by competence.Selene watched from a distance, arms crossed, senses keyed on every subtle shift in the pack’s energy. She noted the almost imperceptible tilt of the younger wolves toward Veyra, the way their confidence seemed to rise when she was nearby. A warning flickered in

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 59- Cracks in the quiet

    Night settled over the pack like a heavy blanket, cool and still. Most wolves were winding down, but the tension from the day kept the air tightly wound. Patrol reports were being filed, warriors were checking weapons, and scouts whispered about rogue patterns that didn’t feel random anymore.Selene stepped out onto the balcony of the Alpha residence, arms crossed. The moonlight washed over her, soft and steady, reacting faintly to her presence the way it always did. Her power hummed under her skin, sharper when she was unsettled.And tonight, she was unsettled.Not because of Veyra’s actions.Because of Damien’s reaction to them.A soft knock sounded behind her. “Selene,” Damien said quietly.She didn’t turn. “You’re checking on her again?”He sighed. “I checked on everyone. She just happened to be one of them.”Selene finally looked over her shoulder. &l

    The day moved on, but the patrol incident lingered like a quiet hum through the pack grounds. Whispers followed Veyra as she walked some curious, some wary, some slowly tipping into something like respect. Saving one of their own spoke louder than any excuse she had given before.But not everyone was ready to soften.Later that afternoon, Damien called Korven to his office. Papers were scattered across his desk border maps, reports of rogue movement, and a few notes from the scouts he trusted most.Korven entered without hesitation. “You wanted to see me.”Damien leaned back slightly. “You worked closely with her today. Tell me honestly did anything feel off?”Korven didn’t answer immediately. He dropped into the seat opposite him, thinking carefully. “Nothing that raised alarms. She followed orders. She stayed in formation. And she reacted faster than half the men when things went wrong.” He paused. &ldquo

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 57 – When Shadows Stir

    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. “Today’s patrol is different,” Damien said, voice firm. “Rogues have been testing our western border. We need steady hands and sharp eyes.”Korven nodded once. “We’ll be careful.”Damien turned to Veyra. “You’re joining this patrol.”A few nearby wolves stiffened, exchanging uncertain glances. Selene, who had been observing from a distance, narrowed her eyes slightly but didn’t interrupt. Her wolf growled quietly inside her mind, but Selene held it back.Veyra simply

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 56 – Shifting Shadows

    The sun was still low, sending long shadows across the pack’s training grounds. Veyra moved with quiet efficiency, helping organize supplies and assist younger wolves with agility drills. Her movements were deliberate, precise, careful not flashy, not demanding attention, but undeniably useful.Korven observed from the perimeter, noting every gesture, every expression, ready to intervene if necessary. Damien, meanwhile, had stepped closer to watch her more directly. For the first time since her return, he allowed himself to notice her competence without immediately suspecting deception.Selene lingered nearby, arms crossed, her wolf Luna tense beneath her skin. “I don’t like it,” she murmured, barely audible. “Every instinct tells me something is off. We need to stay vigilant. She hasn’t proven herself fully yet.”Damien turned toward her, jaw tight. “She’s helping, Selene. That counts. We can’t ignore that she’s actually doing the work, following instructions,
