The silence was unbearable.

Lyra stood in front of us.

Alive.

After twelve years of believing she was gone.

And somehow, the most painful part wasn't her return.

It was the fact that Kael knew.

He knew something about her disappearance.

And he never told me.

I looked at him.

“Kael.”

His eyes met mine.

There was guilt there.

Not anger.

Not confusion.

Guilt.

That hurt more.

“Tell me the truth.”

Lyra smiled faintly.

“Finally.”

Kael's expression hardened.

“Lyra.”

“What?”

“Don't.”

She tilted her hea

  • I Ran Away with the Alpha's Baby   Chapter 21: When the Pack Chose Us

    The forest was silent.Too silent.Hundreds of wolves stood beyond the gates, their eyes glowing beneath the moonlight.The old council had finally revealed themselves.No more messages.No more hidden passages.No more warnings.They were here.For me.For Kael.For the power between us.I tightened my grip around his hand.“Kael.”“I'm here.”“They're not leaving.”“I know.”“What are we going to do?”His eyes remained fixed on the forest.“Fight.”I swallowed.“Together?”He looked at me.“Always.”The gates opened.Kael stepped forward.I followed.Immediately, several warriors moved to protect us.Kael raised his hand.“Stay back.”One of the elders protested.“Alpha, that's dangerous.”Kael didn't turn.“They came for the Moonblood.”He looked at me.“Let them come.”My heart pounded.The first wolf stepped out of the darkness.Then another.Then ten.Then fifty.A man eventually emerged behind them.He wore a black coat.A silver crescent was carved into the ring on his finger.

Tell her?”I felt my chest tighten.Kael stepped forward.“This isn't the time.”“Actually, brother, this is the perfect time.”I looked between them.“Brother?”Lyra laughed softly.“You really didn't tell her anything.”My hands curled into fists.“Kael.”He closed his eyes.“Elara…”“No.”My voice was quieter than I expected.“But I need to hear it from you.”The room became silent.Finally, he spoke.“Lyra wasn't kidnapped.”My heart dropped.“What?”“She left.”“Why?”He loo

  • I Ran Away with the Alpha's Baby   Chapter 19: The Choice They Left Us

    I couldn't sleep.Not after the vision.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same things.My mother running through the forest.Blood on her clothes.A man standing behind her.A crying baby.And Kael.Standing beside a woman I didn't know.Holding a child.I hated how clearly I remembered it.I hated even more that I couldn't understand it.I stood by the window, watching the moon disappear behind the clouds.“You're awake.”I turned.Kael stood in the doorway.He looked exhausted.“You should sleep.”“So should you.”“I can't.”“Neither can I.”He walked toward me.“Still thinking about the vision?”I nodded.He stopped in front of me.“Tell me everything you remember.”I hesitated.“I already told you.”“Tell me again.”I took a breath.“My mother was running.”“From the man?”“Yes.”“Did you recognize him?”“No.”“What else?”“A baby.”His expression remained calm.“And me.”I nodded.“You were standing beside another woman.”Kael's jaw tightened.“Did you see her face?”“No.”“

    The darkness felt different.It wasn't simply the absence of light.It felt alive.Every instinct inside me screamed that something was wrong.I stood frozen in the bedroom while Amara remained beside me.Outside, the estate had erupted into chaos.I could hear wolves running.Guards shouting orders.Weapons clashing.And somewhere in the distance—Kael's wolf.One deep, furious growl after another.“Luna.”Amara's voice pulled me back.I looked at her.“Are you all right?”“I don't know.”My hand remained over my stomach.That strange sensation was still there.Faint.Almost like a distant pulse.Amara stepped closer.“Tell me exactly what you felt.”“A heartbeat.”Her expression changed.“You're certain?”“I heard it.”“Where?”I looked down.“Here.”Amara's eyes widened.She carefully placed her hand over mine.For several seconds, she said nothing.Then she closed her eyes.“What?”“I need a moment.”My heart pounded.“Amara.”She opened her eyes.“I can feel something.”I swallow

    For the first time in days, the estate was quiet.Too quiet.After the attack, everyone had been ordered to remain inside the main territory. The gates were heavily guarded, patrols doubled, and every unfamiliar face was being questioned.Yet despite all the chaos surrounding us, I woke up feeling strangely peaceful.Maybe it was because Kael was still beside me.His arm was loosely wrapped around my waist, his breathing slow and steady.I turned toward him.For someone who was terrifying enough to make an entire council fall silent, he looked almost harmless while sleeping.Almost.I smiled.Then his eyes opened.“You're staring.”I immediately looked away.“I wasn't.”“You were.”“I was checking if you were alive.”He smirked.“Disappointed?”“Maybe.”He pulled me closer.“Liar.”I laughed softly.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.Then I remembered his words from the previous night.*A family.*My smile slowly faded.“Kael?”“Hmm?”“Do you really mean it?”He opened his eyes.

    The first alarm sounded before sunrise.One long howl.Then another.Then dozens.I woke up with my heart pounding.For one terrible second, I didn't know where I was.Then I felt it.Kael's arm was around my waist.He was already awake.“Stay here.”I immediately sat up.“What happened?”“Attack.”My stomach dropped.“Where?”“West gate.”He reached for his shirt.I climbed out of bed.“I'm coming.”“No.”“Kael—”“Elara, stay inside.”“I can help.”“You don't know what you're dealing with.”“And neither do you.”He stopped.I walked toward him.“You said we weren't running anymore.”His jaw tightened.“I remember.”“Then don't ask me to hide.”He stared at me for a long moment.Finally, he sighed.“Stay beside me.”I smiled faintly.“Deal.”The western courtyard was chaos.Guards were running toward the gates.Wolves were shifting.The sound of fighting echoed beyond the walls.Kael immediately took command.“Close the inner gates!”“Move the wounded to the east wing!”“No one enters
