The moment Veyra disappeared beyond the borders of the pack lands, Selene felt it an unexpected lightness settling in her chest.

Relief.

It surprised her how quickly it came, she had just finally chosen to accept veyra and not listen to her instinct. Selene stood near the training grounds, arms folded loosely across herself, eyes unfocused as she watched wolves move through their drills. Her thoughts, however, were far from the present.

Veyra had saved her in a way and although

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 127- The Woman in White

    Sleep did not come easily to Selene that night. Even with Damien beside her, even with the warmth of his arm wrapped protectively around her waist, her mind refused to rest. Too much had happened in such a short time. The strange pain earlier that day. The terrifying wave of power that had burst from her body and spread through the entire pack. The fear in everyone’s eyes afterward. And worst of all the fear inside herself.She lay awake staring at the ceiling while the fire crackled softly in the corner of the room. Moonlight slipped through the curtains, bathing the bedroom in silver light. Beside her, Damien slept lightly, though even in sleep his brows were slightly furrowed, as if his wolf remained alert. Protective. Always protective.Selene slowly rested a hand against her stomach.Her baby.Their baby.The thought still felt unreal. A part of her was happy, happier than she had ever imagined possible but another part of her was terrified. Everything around them was falling apa

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 126- Testing

    The air in the private, subterranean training cavern beneath the pack house was thick with dust and the scent of old stone. Selene stood in the center of the reinforced chamber, her boots planted firmly on the cold ground. A few paces away, Damien stood with his arms crossed, his dark eyes tracking her every movement with a mixture of intense focus and tightly coiled anxiety. Korven leaned against a stone pillar near the entrance, his hand resting habitually on the pommel of his sword, while Elder Myra sat quietly on a wooden bench in the corner, her sightless eyes turned toward the center of the room.This was her first training session after becoming pregnant. The isolation of her bedroom had been abandoned; the time for passive shielding was over.“Slowly, Selene,” Damien instructed, his voice low and grounding. “Do not force it to rise. Just breathe and let it settle under your skin. Find the rhythm. Just like you usually do”

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 125- Morning After

    The morning light filtering through the heavy drapes did nothing to dispel the suffocating weight in the air. Selene stood by the window of the Alpha’s quarters, watching the courtyard below. The pack house had become a fortress overnight, a manifestation of Damien's rising panic. Enforcers in full patrol gear paced the perimeters, their postures rigid and hyper-vigilant. Every time she walked down a corridor, the heavy thud of combat boots mirrored her own from a calculated distance. Her movements were restricted, her privacy systematically dismantled, and every single action she took was watched by anxious eyes.Damien called it protection. He claimed it was necessary to keep her and their unborn child safe from the shadows closing in on their borders. But to Selene, it felt like a cage against her wolf’s nature, suffocating her instincts. She refused to sit idly by while her body transformed into a fragile being. If her power was evolving, she needed to underst

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 124- The Awakening (2)

    The sharp, sudden wave of pain that had gripped Selene’s abdomen finally receded, leaving her shaken but physically stable. She sat on the edge of the bed, taking slow, deep breaths to steady her racing heart.But as the physical pain faded, she realized something was entirely different.The air in the room felt altered, and her senses had suddenly dialed to a razor-sharp frequency. She could hear the distinct footfalls of the guards outside the heavy doors and catch scents from down the hallway with terrifying clarity. Frowning, she focused inward, trying to understand what was happening to her body.With a small flex of her will, she triggered a faint release of energy.Usually, her power felt chaotic, like an unpredictable force she had to constantly battle to keep beneath her skin. This time, it didn't fight her. The energy responded smoothly, rippling just under her surface with an easy, fluid compliance. It was as if the power was finally beginning to align itself with her.Befo

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 123- The Surge(Awakening)

    Selene was standing by the window when it hit her.One moment, she was watching the last traces of sunset bleed beyond the treeline. The next, a blade of pure agony sliced through her abdomen so sudden, so sharp, that her breath caught and her knees buckled.She caught herself on the windowsill, knuckles white against the stone.The pain flared for only a heartbeat. Maybe two. Then it receded, leaving behind a strange, hollow warmth that pulsed low in her belly.But before she could even process what had happened, the energy came.It erupted from somewhere deep inside her ancient, vast, and entirely beyond her control. A shockwave of raw power exploded outward, tearing through the walls of the pack house, across the training grounds, into the forest beyond. It didn't crash like thunder. It swept silent, absolute, and suffocating.Across Shadowfang territory, wolves stopped mid-stride.A young warrior collapsed to his knees, gasping as the pressure pressed down on his chest like a moun

  • Heart of the Wolf Queen   Chapter 122- The Gilded Cage

    The shift in the atmosphere was not a sudden storm, but a slow, encroaching fog.By morning, the everywhere felt different. Selene stood on the balcony of her chambers, watching the changing of the guard. Usually, it was a quiet. Now, the warriors moved with a stiffness. There were more of them. Many more.A soft knock at the door pulled her from her observations. Liora slipped inside, carrying a tray of honeyed tea and sliced fruit, but her usual bright chatter was replaced by a strained smile.“You’re up early,” Liora noted, setting the tray down.“Hard not to be,” Selene replied, gesturing toward the courtyard. “It looks like we’re preparing for an invasion. Did something happen at the borders last night? Damien mentioned some rogue activity.”Liora hesitated, her fingers fumbling with the edge of her tunic. “Just precautions, Selene”Selene watched her friend closely. Liora was a terrible liar; she had a habit of looking at her boots when she was holding back. “Liora, look at me.”

    Moonlight poured across the stone balconies of silvermoon, painting everything in pale silver and shadow. Guards stood like statues along the perimeter. Torches burned low. Even the wind seemed cautious when passing through these grounds, as if it understood whose territory this was.Inside one of

    The afternoon sun filtered through the wide canopy of a large ancient tree, its thick branches stretching far enough to cast shade over half the clearing. Beneath it, Damien sat with his back against the trunk, legs stretched out comfortably. Selene rested beside him, leaning into his shoulder, her

    The welcome feast would be her first opportunity to observe the pack dynamics up close. Who sat where, who spoke to whom, what wasn't being said. Whose eyes lingered too long on Damien with admiration, and whose with resentment. Every pack had its fractures; she just needed to find Silvermoon's.
