*Starblood fortress — Early Morning*

Crystal stood at the balcony overlooking the main training grounds, arms wrapped around herself as the early morning wind tangled in her hair.

The sky was painted in the pale hues of dawn but her thoughts were far from peaceful. Below, the warriors were already rebuilding…hammering, training, sharpening blades that might never see rest again.

She wasn’t part of that world anymore. Not just Luna, not her learning to heal, not even just a mate.

Everything had changed.

Footsteps approached behind her but she didn’t turn. She already knew it was Ryder.

“I thought I was just meant to be the Luna,” she said quietly. “After Amy… after George, I thought that was the worst of it. That I would heal, love again, serve my pack, live in peace.”

His silence didn’t press her, only listened.

“But fate?” She let out a soft, humorless laugh. “Fate had other plans.”

Ryder stepped closer, the warmth of his presence grounding her. “You’re not alone, Crystal.

  • Lycan's Mate    Chapter 56

    *Greenwood Grove — Moments After The Gate Stirred* Crystal remained at the center of the ring, her mark glowing with an intensity that flows with every sound of the forest. Her silver and gold light clashed with the creeping shadows bleeding from Elira’s side of the grove. Elira didn’t retreat. She stood just outside the edge of Crystal’s radiance, eyes alight with fury and fascination. Her robes whipped around her as she paced back and forth. "You think light alone will save you?" Elira hissed. "You think defiance makes you worthy to stand before the Gate?" Crystal raised her chin. “No, but it will make me free.” Elira’s expression twisted. “You are not free, child. You are chained to a purpose carved in blood long before you were born.” “I have seen that chain,” Crystal said. “And I will break it.” The air between them changed. The Gate’s pull surged through the land, deeper than magic, older than wolves, older than even Elira’s cruelty. Ryder took a protective step close

  • Lycan's Mate    Chapter 55

    *Greenwood Territory — Dusk* Clouds rolled low in the sky, casting long shadows across the sacred trees and beneath those branches, warriors moved. Not with fear, but with readiness. Crystal stood at the center of the clearing, the Flame quiet within her but alive. Her body remembered the Mirror, the Gate, the pain of the past that was not her own. But she stood taller now and firmer. She no longer felt like a girl holding back a storm. She was the storm. Ryder hadn’t moved far from her side since her return from the Deepgroves. He watched her in stillness, but she could feel his thoughts. Sharp, bracing and loyal. Nearby, Luca and Thalia stood over a newly drawn map scratched into the dirt. Greenwood scouts marked known passageways and weak points. The warriors of the Starblood pack flanked the perimeter while the forest’s own defenders, the silent archers of Greenwood waited above, nestled into tree limbs like shadows with arrows. Ethan and Alia knelt near the stone circl

  • Lycan's Mate    Chapter 54

    *Greenwood Territory — The Deepgroves*The wind that blew heavily through Greenwood.Crystal stood at the edge of the grove, her fingers brushing the bark of an old tree. Her mark still pulsed faintly, silver light dancing under her skin. The forest felt closer now, like it breathed with her.Behind her, Ryder spoke with Veen in low tones. His voice was gravel and steel, the sound of a leader holding too much and refusing to bend beneath it. Crystal turned slightly to watch him.He caught her gaze and stepped closer."You should rest."Crystal shook her head. “If I sleep, I’ll dream and I’m not ready to go back there yet.”He reached for her hand. “Then you don’t have to push yourself. You need to prepare.”Veen joined them, the light filtering through the canopy laying pale patterns on her robes. “There’s a place,” she said. “A sacred valley hidden beneath the roots of the forest. It holds memory, deeper than even the stones. The Flame must go there.”Crystal lifted her chin. “What w

    The air didn’t change Not even after the Herald was driven back. Through the glade, silence tried to reclaim the space but silence had no hold here now. Crystal stood at the edge of where the stone had shattered, her mark burning like a sun beneath her skin. Her hands trembled, from restraint. Every instinct screamed to run forward. To fight but something deeper held her back. Ryder landed hard against a tree trunk, bark cracking behind him. Blood streaked his temple but his eyes remained locked on the Herald. “Stay behind me,” he ordered again. “I’m not leaving,” Crystal replied. “I know,” he muttered, bracing himself again. The Herald rose from the impact, its cloak torn and smoldering, armor split at one side with smoke pouring from the side he had been struck like fog from a gate half-opened. He wasn't bleeding Thalia stood slightly ahead of Luca now, blade low and ready. “It doesn’t fight like a wolf.” “That’s because it isn’t,” Luca said, voice taut. “It’s s

    *Greenwood Territory — Southern Glade*The path to the southern glade was rougher, less worn.It twisted through the earth, overgrown and tangled with creeping vines. It wasn't a trail meant for many. The deeper they went, the thicker the silence became. It wasn't empty but expectant.Ethan led the group, his eyes scanning every shadow. His attention kept flicking to Alia, who walked beside him with a stillness that wasn’t shy, just steady. Her presence grounded him in a way nothing had in years. The tension in his shoulders softened the longer they remained close. Luca walked behind them, close but restless, the occasional twitch of his hand betraying his tension. Thalia matched his pace, never once looking his way, but her breathing had subtly shifted. She seemed to be observing the forest tooThey hadn’t spoken again since their names were exchanged. Her silence was sharp, not hesitant like someone trained to stay hidden even when recognized “So,” Luca said, breaking it. “You’ve

  • Lycan's Mate    Chapter 51

    *Greenwood Territory — Dawn* The forest was no longer quiet. Birds stirred in the canopy, but even they seemed cautious. The moss underfoot felt warmer. The air, denser. Crystal stood still. Her hand remained clasped in Ryder’s, grounding her, but her body felt like it was carrying lightning. The dream had left more than echoes, it left knowledge of bloodlines, of a Gate that remembered her steps and a name whispered in the dark between worlds. The Gate had shown her echoes of a truth too large to carry. Her wolf was no longer restless. Then she heard it, a quiet inhale. Not hers. Crystal turned slightly to see Ethan standing just a few feet away, staring at the girl who had stepped into the clearing. The one who had stopped mid-step, whose wide brown eyes locked with his as though some invisible string had yanked them together. The girl standing before Ethan blinked slowly. Her lips parted, but no words came out “Your Mate?” Crystal said softly. Ethan looked like he’d for
