|| Lilac’s POV ||

The scent of rosemary and lavender hung thick in the Moonvale Pack's great hall, mingling with the aroma of roasted meats and spiced wine. I adjusted the emerald-green shawl around my shoulders, watching as Alpha Daren raised his goblet in a toast.  

"To new alliances," he declared, his silver eyes flickering to me.  

Glasses clinked throughout the hall. I lifted my own cup to my lips— pretending to sip— as I studied the crowd.  

There.  

Near the musicians, one councilman, Darwin, stiffened as the herbal incense reached him. His fingers twitched toward his throat.  

And there.  

Lady Maris from the western territories broke off mid-conversation, her smile turning rigid.  

I caught Daren's eye and gave the slightest nod.

  • His Abandoned Luna   229. The Reckoning-II

    || Lilac’s POV ||Tears blurred my vision as I carded my fingers through his hair, his lips brushing against my womb in the softest of kisses. "Dove." His voice broke as he sank even further before the entire council. His forehead pressed against my stomach, his shoulders shaking. "Leave us," he growled without looking up. "No." I gripped his shoulders. "They need to hear this." Alaric stood slowly, his hands never leaving my waist. "There's something else." I swallowed hard. "The day Runa said 'mate'..." "We know it was a spell. Why are you bringing this up?" Alaric interrupted, a little dissatisfied. "It would have been if my true mate hadn't been there. No spell is stronger than the mate bond." I said. Elizabeth's scoff cut through the silence. "You're saying your mate was there too?" Ignoring her mouth, I grabbed his hand, pressing it over my heart. The room stilled again. "Don't you feel it?" I whispered,

  • His Abandoned Luna   228. The Reckoning-I

    || Lilac’s POV || The moment I heard the news of Alaric's return, my teacup slipped from my fingers, shattering against the hardwood floor. The sound echoed through the suddenly silent kitchen. He's back. I was out of the door before the porcelain shards stopped spinning, my bare feet slapping against cold wood as I sprinted toward the packhouse. The evening air burned my lungs, but I didn't slow - couldn't slow. Not when every second apart had been its own special kind of torment. The packhouse loomed ahead, its windows glowing like watchful eyes. But something was wrong. The usual hum of activity had been replaced by an eerie silence, broken only by the occasional raised voice filtering through the study walls. I took the steps two at a time, my pulse hammering in my throat. The door was slightly ajar, and the heated debate within made my hand freeze on the knob. "—absolute madness!" Elizabeth's shrill voice cut through the tension. "The curse w

  • His Abandoned Luna   226. Luna’s Gambit

    || Lilac’s POV ||Dawn light crept through the war room windows as I rubbed the stiffness from my neck. I'd fallen asleep again at the strategy table, my cheek pressed against a map of the southern territories. The scent of ink and stale coffee clung to me as I blinked awake.A sharp knock startled me upright just as the doors swung open."Lilac."My dad stood framed in the doorway, his broad shoulders blocking the morning light. Behind him, Alpha Daren waited with crossed arms, his sharp features set in a permanent scowl.I straightened, wiping at the ink smudge on my cheek. "Dad? What are you doing here?""You look like... devastating," Dad said bluntly, striding into the room. His boots left muddy prints on the polished floor."Good morning to you too," I muttered, pushing tangled hair from my face.Alpha Daren didn't bother with greetings. "Pack your things. You're being relocated to the Reventhorn Castle immediately."

  • His Abandoned Luna   225. Luna’s Trial

    || Lilac’s POV ||Fire raced through my veins as my bones snapped and reformed, muscles twisting beneath skin that prickled with the emergence of thick fur. A scream tore from my throat— or tried to— but it came out as a roar, deep and thunderous, shaking the very earth beneath my paws. Paws. I looked down. Massive, golden furred paws dug into the dirt, claws like curved daggers glinting in the moonlight. My breath came in hot, ragged pants, each exhale sending plumes of mist into the cold night air. Runa took over slowly. She surged forward in my mind, her presence wrapping around me like armor. "Let's hunt." The rogue pinning Marcus never saw me coming. One moment it was snarling in his face, jaws dripping with saliva. The next, hundred eighty pounds of golden fury slammed into its side. My teeth found its throat before it could react, the coppery tang of blood flooding my mouth as I twisted. The rogue went limp with a crack. Marcus

  • His Abandoned Luna   224. Price of Power

    || Lilac’s POV ||The afternoon sun painted golden stripes across the hardwood floors of Alaric's study as I traced my fingers over the latest report. Five rogue hideouts burned to ashes. Very few casualties on our side. The tight knot between my shoulders loosened just a fraction.Everything was going right for once.The reports buzzed softly in my skull— the South border's clear. They were safe. Ezra had got a third watch. He would be heading back by dawn. Alaric would remain there with Alexander for next few days.I pressed two fingers to my temple. Just be safe out there, Alaric! Just be safe, Ez.Outside the window, the pack bustled with uncharacteristic ease. Children laughed near the training grounds where Marcus drilled warriors. Two she-wolves talked over herb baskets near the healing hut. Even the air smelled lighter, the usual tension replaced by something da
