Michelle pressed her palms against her eyes. “I feel like such a fool,” she whispered. “I lied to you. I insulted your kindness. I thought you’d betray me.”

Jason shook his head. “You were afraid. I understand now.”

He paused, watching the way her shoulders shook. “If he can do this,” he said, glancing at her injuries, “for walking in the woods with me, then I can’t even imagine what he’d do if he found out you were planning to leave.”

She let out a dry laugh, brittle and hopeless. “He’d kill me,” she said simply. “He’ll come back and kill me. He’ll say I manipulated you against him. He’ll make it my fault.”

Jason didn’t try to argue. They both knew she was right.

“I won’t let that happen,” he said instead. His voice was steady, even though his insides felt like they were tearing apart. “I’ll make sure he never touches you again. If that means losing my position, fine. If it means fighting him, I’ll fight him. But he won’t hurt you again, Michelle. I promise.”

  • In Search of Liberation: Luna In name Only   Message From The Author

    Thank you for taking this journey with me.I wrote this book to shine a light on the real danger of domestic violence, not to frighten you, but to remind you that love should never hurt, control, or break you.No matter who you are, man or woman, you are important. You are precious. And you do not deserve to stay in a place where you are being harmed, diminished, or made to feel small. If the person you’re with cannot value you, please remember this: your life is not meant to be lived in survival mode. There is safety out there. There is peace out there. And yes, there are people who will love you with kindness and respect.But above all, choose yourself. Love yourself. Appreciate yourself. Speak life into your heart every day and remind yourself: I am worthy. I deserve better. I deserve to be safe.Thank you for being brave enough to read this story to the very end. I hope it entertained you, but more importantly, I hope it left you with a message that stays with you, one that coul

  • In Search of Liberation: Luna In name Only    Chapter 96 Her Name on the Law

    It did not happen overnight.Change never does.But it began the morning Michelle stood beside Jason at the council hall, not behind him, not beside him as ornament, but as Luna, as co-ruler, as a wolf whose name carried legacy.The hall was carved from old stone, older than most packs, older than Range, older even than Moonclaw. Wolves came here to decide the laws that shaped the lives of all packs in the region. And for as long as anyone remembered, one law had never been questioned:A daughter could inherit land, but not leadership.A Luna could rule only through her mate.And if she had no mate, her father’s legacy was taken from her and given to another man.A law written by men to secure their thrones and bloodlines.A law that had nearly destroyed Michelle.She stood now at the centre of the hall. Not trembling. Not small. Not cowering.Jason stood to her right, silent, solid, a presence that did not overshadow but upheld.Bernard stood to her left, the weight of the council

  • In Search of Liberation: Luna In name Only   Chapter 95 The House of Ashes

    Patrick’s house on the outskirts was a small, low-roofed thing, not poor, but painfully ordinary compared to the Alpha residence he once commanded. It sat at the end of a narrow dirt road, fenced in with wire that leaned in places, the roof patched with mismatched sheets that never quite stopped dripping when it rained. Nothing about it announced power. Nothing about it warned strangers to mind their tone.No polished floors. No grand windows. No servants padding quietly through hallways. No quiet. Just noise. Constant, blistering noise.Rhonda was screaming again. “You think you’re special?” she spat, hair wild, eyes sharp as broken glass. “At least I didn’t crawl here pretending to be Luna, ”A baby wailed from the corner, tiny fists clenched, face blotched red. Another child cried in the hallway, frightened by the familiar storm.Rebecca threw a cup at her. It shattered against the wall. “Oh please. You think he loves you? He doesn’t love any of us. He only tolerated you be

  • In Search of Liberation: Luna In name Only   Chapter 94, One Year Later

    A year passed.Range and Moonclaw no longer stood as two packs but as one, merged, blood-bound, and thriving. No banners were changed, no names erased. They simply stitched histories together the way wolves always should have: with shared land, shared labour, shared loyalty.Michelle stood on the balcony of the new Alpha House, watching the training grounds below. The morning sun cast gold over everything. Wolves sparred in pairs, children chased each other in the grass, and laughter rolled through the territory like water.Peace, real peace, had returned.Behind her, the soft cry of an infant stirred, followed by a second shrill wail in competitive protest. Michelle smiled, tired but full.The twins.A boy and a girl. Mara and Jacob.Her daughter had Jason’s dark eyes; her son had Michelle’s sharp stare. Both had the Leeson jawline and the Vaelcrest fire behind their tiny hearts. Wolves whispered that the moon had blessed them twice, a sign of legacy reclaimed and renewed.“Let dad

  • In Search of Liberation: Luna In name Only   Chapter 93 The Weight of Mercy

    The arena was still.Dust hung in the morning air like breath paused between heartbeats. Wolves, pack members, elders, council observers , all frozen in that stunned silence that follows the collapse of something old and the rise of something new.Patrick still stood half-shifted , Echo trembling beneath his skin, ashamed, exhausted, defeated.Jason shifted first.The fur receded. Bone reformed. Skin smoothed. Midnight gave way to the man , tall, bare-chested, skin streaked with blood, muscles cut like iron and shadow. His eyes were still wolfgold, burning.Michelle watched him like someone who had survived winter and was seeing spring for the very first time.Then she moved.She didn’t run , she walked , slow, deliberate, sovereign. The pack’s eyes followed her as if she were gravity itself.Jason met her halfway.Their breaths were still rough from battle. Their bodies still alive with adrenaline. Their hearts , too full, too fast.Michelle looked up at him, voice barely a whis

  • In Search of Liberation: Luna In name Only    Chapter 92, Old Wolves, Old Wounds

    Patrick stared at Jason, eyes wide, throat working like he had swallowed stones.“Moonclaw?” The word cracked out of him.Not anger now. Not arrogance. Not even hatred.Just disbelief.Because Moonclaw was not just another pack. Moonclaw was blooded lineage. Moonclaw was ancestral throne. Moonclaw was royalty.Bigger than Range. Older than Range. Richer than Range. Respected by every wolf in their world.Patrick’s voice broke.“You own… Moonclaw.”Jason didn’t answer. He didn’t need to.Everyone already knew.Patrick swallowed, chest rising and falling too fast. His claws were half-shifted already, fingertips trembling.“Then why, why do you want my home, Jason?” His voice rose in volume, desperation cutting through the words.“You have moved up. You have claimed what was yours. You have everything. Why do this? Why challenge me?” His voice cracked, raw and pleading. “You know what will happen here. You know one of us dies… or one of us lives with shame. I need
