I was the one who broke Kane Blackwood's heart. He was the Alpha heir, my boyfriend since we were kids, and I pushed him so hard that I drove him all the way to the Northern Stronghold. He stayed there for seven years. Now he was back. He had a new woman with him, and they were going to hold their bonding ceremony here, in our pack. That same week, the pack witch told me I had three months left to live. When my mother wheeled me outside to see him, Kane's mouth curled into that cruel, mocking smile I remembered too well. His dark eyes swept over me from head to toe, taking in the wheelchair, the thinness of my arms, the paleness of my face. "Well, well," he said, his voice low and sharp. "Seven years and you look like hell. Can't even walk anymore?" I tugged my sleeve down, hiding the scars—the silver tracings left by years of failed treatments. I kept my voice steady. "I fell. Broke something. It's nothing." He let out a short, cold laugh. "Right. Anyway, my bonding ceremony's coming up. You should be Vivra's maid of honor." I smiled back at him. I had gotten good at smiling through pain over the years. "Sorry, but I'm leaving soon. Somewhere far away." Then I patted my mother's hand. She didn't say a word, just gripped the handles of the chair and pushed me back toward the house. I didn't look behind me.

Lies Beneath the Moonlight Chapter 12
Three months later, Mary stood under the old oak tree.The leaves had turned gold and red. They fell around her like rain, drifting down from the branches and settling on her shoulders.Kane stood a few feet away, his hands in his pockets, looking up at the sky."You should go back to the North," Mary said.He shook his head. "This is my home.""There's nothing for you here.""She's here." He looked at the old oak tree, at the grass beneath it, at the path that led to the Moon Spring. "Her memory is here. That's enough."Mary was silent for a long time. Then she reached into her pocket and pulled out the moonstone."She wanted you to have this," she said.Kane looked at the stone. It glowed faintly in the autumn light – soft and warm, like a small heartbeat."Keep it for me," he said. "Until I see her again."Mary's eyes filled with tears. She nodded.Kane turned and walked toward the forest. The path was overgrown now – no one came here anymore. But he knew the way. He had walked it a

Three days passed.Kane didn't leave my side. He slept in the chair by my bed, his head tilted back, his mouth slightly open. He ate the hospital food – gray meat and lumpy potatoes – without complaining. He held my hand when the pain got bad. He read to me from a book he found in the healing house library, some old romance novel with a cracked spine and yellow pages.My mother came and went. She brought me clean clothes, my favorite tea, a photograph of my father that I kept on the bedside table. She and Kane didn't talk much, but I saw her watching him. I saw the anger in her eyes soften, just a little.On the third day, Vivra came.She wasn't alone. The Alpha King walked beside her, his face hard as stone.They stood in the doorway of my room. The King's eyes swept over me – the IV, the bandage, the gray skin – and his expression didn't change."Kane," he said. "Come home."Kane didn't stand up. He didn't let go of my hand."No," he said.The King's jaw tightened. "You have a bondin

(Kane's POV)Selene's room was at the end of the third-floor hallway. The door was closed. A small sign next to the frame said Room 317.Mary stopped outside. She turned to face Kane."She doesn't have much time," she said. "The witch said maybe a month, but –" She shook her head. "She's getting weaker every day.""I know," Kane said. "I know.""And she doesn't know you're coming. She didn't want you to find her. She wanted you to move on. To live your life."Kane swallowed. "I know."Mary opened the door.The room was small. A bed, a cabinet, a chair. The curtains were drawn, but a small lamp on the bedside table gave off a soft yellow glow.Selene was lying in the bed.She was so thin. Thinner than he had ever seen her. Her cheekbones stood out sharply. Her collarbones were visible above the edge of the blanket. Her skin was pale – not just pale, but grayish, like ash.An IV dripped silver liquid into her arm. A heart monitor beeped slowly in the corner.There was a bandage on her fo

(Kane's POV)The package arrived that afternoon.Kane was back at the pack healing house, sitting in a plastic chair next to Vivra's bed. She was sleeping, her breathing soft and even, one hand resting on her belly. The healer had said she could go home tomorrow. Just a scare. The pup was fine.A nurse came in with a small box in her hands. "This came for you," she said. "No return address."Kane took the box. It was light. No bigger than his palm.He opened it.His heart stopped.Inside was the moonstone. The one he had given Selene when they were seventeen. The one she had worn around her neck every single day. He would see it catching the light when she walked through the forest. He would feel it pressed between their chests when he held her at night. She had promised to wear it forever.Inside the box was a note. One line, written in Mary's shaky handwriting."She doesn't need this anymore. – Mary"Kane stared at the words. He read them again. Then again.She doesn't need this anym

We reached the venue – a tavern on the edge of the pack territory, famous for its views of the mountain and its private dining rooms. It was the kind of place couples came to celebrate bondings and weddings and anniversaries.Kane parked the car and got out. He opened my door and lifted me from the

I was so nervous the next morning that I couldn't eat. My mother tried to spoon some porridge into my mouth, but I turned my head away."You need to eat," she said."I'll eat later.""You always say that."I managed a small smile. "Mom. Please. Just help me get ready."She sighed – that long, tired

When my mother wheeled me out the door, Kane's frown deepened. His eyes swept over me again – the wig, the lipstick, the way I sat slumped in the chair because my muscles couldn't hold me upright anymore. I saw something flicker across his face. Disgust, probably. Or pity. I couldn't tell which was

My mother had just helped me into bed when Kane's mother showed up. I wasn't surprised. Ilsa had always had perfect timing – bad timing, depending on how you looked at it.She stood in my doorway with that same expression she'd worn seven years ago. Guilt and urgency mixed together, like she was abo
