Silas~

I couldn't get her out of my head the rest of the day. That damn medical wing visit kept replaying in my mind while I sat through boring council talks about border patrols and rival pack rumors.

Elara had no business down there reorganizing shelves like she owned the place, but she did it anyway, cool as ice, talking supplies and shortages like some kind of Luna who actually gave a shit. The old Elara would've asked permission first, eyes down, voice all soft and shaky. This new one jus

  • His unwanted Luna, his greatest Regret    Message

    CElaraNobody moved.The entire courtyard was deathly silent under the cold moonlight, with Elder Rowan’s body lying motionless on the stone path. The metallic scent of blood hung heavy in the air. Shock gripped everyone like a vice.I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the note pinned to his chest.THE TAINT REMEMBERS.The words felt personal. Cruel. Like a direct warning aimed at someone specific or maybe all of us.Beside me, Silas stepped forward first. His face had turned to stone. Cold. Controlled. The Alpha mask fully in place, hiding whatever storm raged beneath.“Clear the courtyard,” he ordered, voice low and dangerous.No one budged.His tone dropped even lower. “I said… clear the courtyard.”That snapped them into action. Warriors began pushing people back while staff members rushed inside. Whispers erupted instantly, spreading like wildfire through the crowd.Murder. Elder Rowan. The note. The Taint.I could already hear the rumors forming, growing darker by the secon

  • His unwanted Luna, his greatest Regret    Ashes

    Elara~Martha crossed the room so fast she nearly forgot the tray she'd been carrying."Elara?"I pressed a hand against my forehead and took a slow breath while the pounding behind my eyes refused to ease. The memory was already slipping away again, dissolving into the same frustrating fog that swallowed every fragment before I could hold onto it properly."I'm fine.""You don't look fine.""I remembered something."Martha's face immediately lost what little color it had left.Before she could ask anything else, another knock sounded at the door.Neither of us needed to guess who it was.Silas stepped inside without waiting for permission, and the moment his eyes landed on me, his entire expression changed. His gaze swept across the room, taking in the papers scattered across the floor, my face, Martha's worried posture, and the untouched tray sitting near the desk.He assessed everything within seconds."What happened?""Memory flash," Martha answered.Every trace of color disappear

  • His unwanted Luna, his greatest Regret    Fractures

    Elara~The drive back to the territory felt much longer than the drive there, and for the first twenty minutes nobody said a word. Martha sat beside me with her hands folded tightly in her lap, while every few minutes her eyes drifted toward the envelope resting against my stomach. I understood why. The thing felt like a bomb sitting in my hands.A witness.A second vehicle.Someone standing near the crash site after my car went off the road.The more I thought about it, the worse it became because if someone had been there, then my accident hadn't simply happened. Someone had stayed long enough to make sure it happened. Someone had watched.The idea made my skin crawl.I stared out the window and watched the trees blur past while my mind kept trying to piece together memories that refused to come together properly. Every time I reached for them, they slipped away again and left me with nothing except fragments.Rain.Headlights.Pain.Fear.Then darkness.The baby shifted beneath my

  • His unwanted Luna, his greatest Regret    The truth at the border

    Elara~The entire pack house felt tense the next day.I noticed it during breakfast when two omegas stopped talking the second I entered the dining room. I noticed it again when I crossed the courtyard and saw warriors gathered in small groups, their voices low as they discussed something they clearly didn't want me hearing.The meeting with the rival Alpha had spread through the territory.Everyone knew about it.Everyone was waiting to see what happened.Including me. By late afternoon, I was standing in my room trying to button a dark coat over my stomach while the baby kicked hard enough to make me stop and wince."Easy there," I muttered, rubbing the side of my belly.The movement didn't stop.If anything, it got stronger.The pup had become far more active these last few weeks. Sometimes it felt like there was an entire wolf trying to escape through my ribs.A knock sounded at the door.Martha stepped inside carrying a small bag."You should eat before we leave.""I already did.

  • His unwanted Luna, his greatest Regret    Cries of the Taint

    Elara~The pack house felt heavier the morning after the hunt, as if the forest had followed us inside with all its blood and secrets. I woke with a dull headache and the familiar weight of my belly pressing against my spine. Six and a half months now. The baby had grown so much that simple movements like sitting up required careful breathing. I rested a hand on the firm curve, feeling a strong, steady kick in response. At least one of us was thriving.Martha had left a tray of breakfast outside my door—oatmeal with berries, warm bread, and a tall glass of milk. I ate slowly by the window, watching the courtyard below where warriors cleaned weapons and omegas carried supplies. The medical wing was busier than ever. Word of my fighting during the hunt had spread, and more lower-rank wolves were seeking help there instead of suffering in silence.A soft knock pulled me from my thoughts. Martha entered with fresh linens, but her face was drawn.“The elders called an emergency meeting thi

  • His unwanted Luna, his greatest Regret    Blood and boundaries

    Elara~The forest smelled of copper and victory, but all I could focus on was the sticky warmth of blood on my hands that wasn’t mine. My body throbbed with exhaustion as the hunting party regrouped in a small clearing. The baby kicked relentlessly, as if celebrating our survival or protesting the chaos I’d dragged us both into. I leaned against a thick oak tree, breathing through the sharp ache in my lower back while Martha checked me over with practiced hands.“You fought like a true Luna,” she murmured, wiping a cut on my forearm with a strip of clean cloth. “The omegas will be talking about this for months. The way you took down that rival with your own claws… even the warriors were staring.”I managed a tired smile, but it didn’t reach my eyes. “I fought like someone who refuses to die for other people’s ambitions.”Silas approached through the trees like a storm cloud, his massive frame still half-shifted, blood streaking his bare chest and arms. He had torn through more enemies
