|| Alaric's POV ||

Morning light spilled through the castle windows, golden and mocking. I hadn't slept.

I stood outside Lilac's chamber, my palm pressed flat against the cold wood of the door. Behind it, Aurora babbled happily, the sound mixing with Lilac's soft laughter. The normalcy of it made my chest ache.

Taking a steadying breath, I pushed the door open.

Lilac sat on the floor with Aurora in her lap, stacking wooden blocks into a wobbling tower. She looked up as I entered, her smile faltering when she saw me. That tiny hesitation—the way her fingers tightened around Aurora—cut deeper than any blade.

"Good morning," I said, keeping my voice carefully neutral.

She nodded, polite but distant. "Morning... Alaric"

Her words were empty. As if we hadn't spent months learning the rhythm of each other's hearts.

Before I could respond, hurried footsteps echoed down the hall. Benson and Lyra appeared in the doorway, their faces dra

  • His Abandoned Luna   254. Kidnapped-II

    The world tilted. Runa's howl of rage echoed in my skull as my knees hit the dirt. No. Not her. Not my baby. My pulse roared in my ears, drowning out the murmurs of the gathered pack. "Where did you last see her?" My voice came out eerily calm. Mira trembled beside me. "I— I gave her to Endora, and then—" A warrior's shout cut through the night. "Luna! Over here!" The world narrowed to a single point, the blood dripping from Endora's shoulder, the way her chest rose and fell too quickly. We found Endora slumped against a tree, her silver robes dark with blood. Her wrinkled face twisted in pain as she looked up at me. "I'm sorry, my queen," she gasped. "The rogues took her... I couldn't stop them." Something inside me snapped. I crossed the distance in the blink of an eye, my hands closing around her throat before I could think. The gasps of the pack faded into white noise as I lifted her off the ground, her feet

  • His Abandoned Luna   253. Kidnapped-I

    || LILAC’S POV || The evening sun painted the wooden houses in golden light as I stood by the window, Aurora's warm weight nestled against my chest. She was getting heavier now, her tiny fingers curling around mine as she dozed. Outside, the forest swayed gently in the breeze, the trees whispering secrets I still couldn't remember. A week. A whole week since Alaric had left for the border. "Luna, dinner is ready," Mira called softly from the kitchen. "Thank you," I murmured, pressing a kiss to Aurora's downy head before settling her into her cradle. The smell of roasted vegetables and fresh bread filled the house— comforting, familiar in a way. I had just lifted my fork when the door burst open. Elizabeth stood there, chest heaving, her usually perfect braid coming undone. "You need to leave. Now." Before I could ask why, she grabbed my arm, yanking me to my feet. Mira didn't hesitate— she scooped up Aurora in one fluid motion, her eyes wide

    ||Lilac's POV ||The firelight painted Alaric's bare chest in flickering gold as he stood by the window, his storm-grey eyes fixed on the horizon. The war council had ended hours ago, but the tension in his shoulders hadn't eased.I knew he was leaving at dawn.Knew I might not see him again soon.And even if my memories were fractured, my soul remembered him.Every inch of him."You're staring, dove." His voice was rough, but his gaze softened when it landed on me.I didn't answer. Instead, I crossed the room, my silk robe whispering against my thighs. His scent- pinewoods- wrapped around me as I stepped into his space, my fingers tracing the hard planes of his stomach."Tell me something," I murmured, tilting my head up. "Did I love you?"His breath hitched. "Yes.""Let me feel you then."I dropped to my knees.Alaric's hands fisted at his sides as I undid the laces of his pants, my fingers brushin

  • His Abandoned Luna   251. Duty

    || Alaric's POV || The war room was too quiet. Maps of the borderlands lay scattered across the table, marked with red ink where rogue attacks had been reported. The scent of ink and burning candle wax clung to the air, thick with tension. My fingers traced the edge of the parchment, the paper rough beneath my touch. Everything was falling apart. Coco was missing. Lilac's memories were still gone. Her wolf, Runa, had vanished without a trace. And Aurora- My jaw clenched. The eerie violet glow around my daughter had intensified, pulsing like a second heartbeat beneath her skin. Endora had done what she could, but even her magic had limits. And now the border was in chaos. Alexander and Ezra had already gone back there, along with a handful of loyal alphas. Reports had come in just this morning -rogues moving in coordinated attacks, striking under the cover of darkness, then vanishing before retaliation could be made. I should have

  • His Abandoned Luna   250. Missing Witch-II

    || Alaric's POV ||I crushed my mouth to hers, swallowing her moan as my tongue claimed hers. She tasted like honey and defiance, and fuck, I needed more. My hands yanked her shirt over her head, her breasts spilling into my palms. "Perfect," I growled, rolling her nipples between my fingers until they pebbled."Always so fucking perfect for me."Her nails scraped down my back as I lifted her, tossing her onto the bed. Her leggings were gone in one sharp tug, leaving her bare -golden skin, toned thighs, and that sweet, dripping cunt I planned to ruin."Spread your legs," I ordered, kneeling between them.She hesitated, biting her lip.I smirked. "Or do I need to make you?"Her thighs fell open with a whimper."Good girl."I didn't tease. I drove in, my tongue licking a slow, filthy stripe up her slit. Her back arched off the bed, a broken cry tearing from her throat. "Oh goddess!""Tastes like heaven," I groaned a

    || Alaric's POV ||The dungeon air clung to my skin, rosemary and something bitter underneath. Wolfsbane, maybe. The pale lights flickered as we descended, throwing jagged shadows against the stone walls.Marcus walked beside me, his hand resting on the hilt of his dagger."She won't talk easily," he muttered.I didn't answer.Coco sat slumped in the corner of her cell, her once-vibrant curls now tangled and dull. Her wrists were raw from the iron cuffs, her skin pale as parchment. But it was her eyes that stopped me— empty. Hollow. Nothing like the sharp, cunning witch who'd haunted our lives for months.She didn't even look up as we approached."Alpha." Her voice was a broken whisper.I didn't hesitate. In two strides, I was at her side, my hand closing around her throat. Her pulse fluttered wildly beneath my fingers."What did you do to Lilac?" My voice was low, deadly calm.Coco's breath hitched. "Please... he
