로그인Ethan's POVI stood frozen among the wolves of Blood Moon as silver light swallowed the courtyard whole. The moon itself seemed to kneel toward Maya.Aelindra.The Lunar Queen stood at the center of the destruction like a god awakened from legend. Her silver-gold hair moved without wind. Power radiated from her in waves so heavy even breathing felt difficult.Around her, the rogues were trapped.Invisible restraints wrapped around their throats, arms, legs. Some struggled violently but couldn’t move an inch.Others were already on their knees.Even the rogue Alphas looked terrified.And the wolves of Blood Moon?They stared at her like salvation itself had descended from the moon.“She saved us…”“Aelindra…”“The Lunar Queen…”Hope spread through the courtyard faster than fire.I watched it happen in real time.Fear turning into worship.And that? was dangerous.Because wolves desperate for safetystopped asking questions.I looked around slowly.Dead wolves covered the ground.

Sophie's POV“This belongs to Luna Maya,” I whispered slowly, my eyes locking onto the old woman’s face. “How did you get this?” The woman froze just for a second which was enough to confirm something was terribly wrong.“You’re mistaken,” she said quietly, trying to pull her hand away.I tightened my grip immediately.“No,” I snapped. “I’m not.”My wolf stirred uneasily beneath my skin.The strange familiarity. Her eyes kept avoiding mine. Everything suddenly clicked together in fragments too dangerous to ignore.“You know her,” I said sharply.“Who are you?”The old woman’s gaze flickered toward Ciara’s room again.And that made my suspicion worse.“What are you doing watching Silver Creek’s princess?” I demanded.She didn't answer. I had enough.“Talk.” I grabbed her wrist harder.The air shifted strangely around us.I felt hidden power buried deep beneath layers of something unnatural.My instincts screamed.Then the alarm exploded across Blood Moon.A deafening howl tore throug
Maya's POVNight settled differently over Blood Moon now.Even the wind felt tense.I stood outside the guest quarters beneath the disguise of an old traveler, my bent frame hidden beneath a dark wool cloak as cold moonlight spilled across the stone paths.No one paid attention to me.That was the point.Aelindra’s illusion magic wasn’t just appearance. It buried scent, altered posture, and softened presence.My gaze lifted toward the second-floor window glowing faintly above me.Ciara’s room.She had been inside for nearly an hour.Alone.I told myself I was only making sure she was safe.But deep down?I knew that wasn’t entirely true.The curtains shifted softly.A glimpse of silver-blonde hair appeared briefly near the window.Ciara looked tired.The kind of tiredness that came from carrying too many thoughts alone.For a moment, I just watched quietly.The youngest of Silver Creek.The only sibling who had looked at me with kindness before everything changed.The only one who nev
Maya's POVNo one saw me. No one looked twice.Not even them.My siblings.Alpha Garett.My past.I didn’t expect it to hurt.Not like this.From a distance, they looked the same.Untouched by everything that had reshaped me.I stood at the edge of the training grounds, hunched slightly beneath the weight of the disguise I wore, fingers curled around the worn walking staff of an old traveler. My back bent, my hair silvered, my scent buried beneath layers of illusion.They moved through Blood Moon like they belonged and didn’t at the same time, like wolves stepping into a den that wasn’t theirs but trying to understand it anyway.I watched, and listened from a distance.Alaric walked just behind Garett, calm and observant, his gaze sweeping the grounds like a soldier measuring terrain.He was reading Blood Moon pack.Cedric looked almost amused, like he was piecing together a puzzle only he could see, his eyes sharp, calculating every movement.Rowan lingered further back. He hadn’t ch
Lucien's POV The night didn’t settle after Maverick left.It lingered like something unfinished.I stood at the edge of the training grounds, still wrapped in the illusion of an old man, watching the last of the pack disperse in uneasy clusters. Conversations stayed low, movements tighter, eyes sharper.They were alert. Blood Moon wolves were in deep thoughts.My gaze drifted toward the treeline where Maverick had stood only moments ago.Rogues didn’t walk into another Alpha’s territory… without my permission.My jaw tightened slightly. That wasn’t a mistake but a choice.Behind me, I felt my mate before she spoke.“You’re thinking too loud again.”Even disguised, even hidden, the connection between us remained untouched, and unbreakable.I didn’t turn immediately.“I don’t like it,” I said.Her presence moved closer, quiet, steady.“Maverick?” she asked.“Yes.”That was all it took.A pause stretched between us.“He wasn’t supposed to leave the Lunar Kingdom,” I continued. “Not now
Maya’s POV This wasn’t the Blood Moon I had left behind although it looked the same.The towering pines still stretched high into the sky, their shadows weaving across the forest floor. The scent of earth, iron, and wolf still lingered strong and familiar.But beneath all of it?Something had changed.m“You feel it too.”Lucien’s voice brushed against my mind through the bond, low and steady.“Yes,” I replied quietly. “It’s not loud… but it’s there.”“It’s controlled,” he said.That made me glance at him.Even in disguise, I could still see the way he carried himself, the quiet dominance that couldn’t be hidden no matter how much illusion wrapped around him.To anyone else, he was nothing more than an aging traveler. A man worn by years, his shoulders slightly bent, his hair streaked with gray.But to me?He was still my Alpha.Mine.And right now, he was watching everything.“Dominance,” I repeated softly.That word sat differently now because chaos didn’t feel like this.This? fe
Ethan's POVThe night air was cold.My eyes was alert in the night like day.I stood at the north watchtower, arms folded behind my back, eyes fixed on the dark stretch beyond Blood Moon’s gates.Five nights of standing still while everyone else slept.That was my sentence.Beta Finn’s voice replay
Maya's POV"Stay close," Lucien murmured, his hand finding mine. "We're being watched."I'd felt it for the last hour, eyes tracking our every movement. The weight of predatory gazes pressing against my skin like physical touch. Lyra stirred restlessly inside of me, she was not afraid, but alert.
Maya's POVThe nightmares persisted.At first, they were soft.Just shadows, sounds, a blade hitting stone.A wolf howling far away, then they got louder.I was standing in the courtyard again. Smoke everywhere. Blood on the ground. The moon was red and too big in the sky.Marcus stood in front o
Ethan's POVI didn’t follow them on purpose.That’s the lie I tell myself.The truth is, I always watch more than people think. Scouts learn early that survival isn’t about strength. It’s about seeing what others miss.The clearing wasn’t on my patrol route.But something pulled me there. And what
