~ RONAN ~

I sigh and fix myself another drink. Then I move around the bar and plop down on one of the sofas, inwardly grateful as the soft cushion embraces my weary body.

"Alright. Fine. I'm all ears," I yield, inviting Draven to continue his exposé on the Alpha Prime.

"Your new responsibility extends beyond your current pack," he begins, his voice steady. "Every other pack is subject to you now, including all the alphas. In fact, they only remain alphas if you allow it." Draven slips from his bar stool and comes toward me. "As legend has it, the Alpha Prime is the most powerful wolf in any city. The goddess bestows him with immense power or something like that, and his scent alone can compel every wolf to action."

I frown at the implication of this new status. "Compel? As in I can make you all do whatever I want?"

Draven raises a hand slightly to stop my wandering thoughts. "Slow down. It doesn’t mean we’re puppets to you or that we don’t have a mind of our own. It’s just

    ~ SELENE ~ I sigh and shift my shadowy vision toward my mate. Draven nods, like he can read my mind. I turn my focus to Lyra. She never did anything to me. She just happened to be Magnus’s daughter, and at the time, that was enough reason to invite my wrath. It takes me a few moments to find the right words. “Lyra, what I did to you was horrible. I shouldn’t have sent those bastards after you. Your father was the one who hurt me, not you. I’m sorry you had to pass through that. You didn’t deserve it.” I turn promptly to Tess, who’s leaning on Killan’s shoulder. “None of you deserved it.” Tess nods in quiet acceptance but says nothing. It takes Lyra a bit longer to respond. She finally sighs and squeezes Ronan’s hand. “Look, I get that your relationship with my father wasn’t ideal. You felt hurt and overlooked, and your feelings were valid. But you took it too far, Selene.” Lyra looks down at her hands. They’re locked in a loving clasp with Ronan’s, and his eyes are fixed on he

  • MARKED BY MOONLIGHT    Chapter 192 — Have To Do The Right Thing

    ~ SELENE ~ My pain is evident as I stare at Magnus. He embodies almost everything I hated about life and love before Draven came into the scene. “What could you possibly have to say now that’s so important? Haven’t you done enough damage already? You came here to gloat, didn’t you?” Magnus hangs his head for a split second and faces me again with pressed lips. “Not at all, Selene, I promise. I feel bad about how I handled things back then. I treated you horribly. I could have gone about our relationship better. A lot better. I wish I could take it all back.” His eyes contort in a pleaful aura. “It must have been hell for you.” I lash out at him, my pain spilling over as my eyes start to become misty. “Don’t patronize me! You came to apologize, and then what, you think I’ll just forget everything like it never happened?” “I didn’t say that, Selene. I understand it’ll take some time before yo—” “Oh, this is more than just taking some time to heal, Magnus. You destroyed me. Mad

  • MARKED BY MOONLIGHT    Chapter 191 — The Return of Old Ghosts

    ~ RONAN ~ I pour myself another drink and take a few deep gulps before breathing out a heavy sigh. “We have two choices. Either we reach some kind of truce with the hunters or prepare ourselves for another war.” Sighs and nods ripple around the room. No one bothers to argue—because really, there’s nothing to argue about. Everyone knows those are the only two choices. And leaving Ashridge Hollow? That’s not one of them. Zarek’s Crimson Court couldn’t make us leave; Blackthorn sure as hell won’t either. “I guess we’ll have to find a way to reason with them… or stop them.” Lyra’s brows knit together, but it’s Catherine who huffs, leaning back and flipping a knife around in her hand like she’s testing its weight. “I’d say those idiots are beyond reason. It’ll be like talking to a wet rock. Probably easier if we take a more… guaranteed approach.” I raise a hand before anyone can echo her sentiment. “If it gets to that, then we’ll have that discussion. For now, let’s exhaust our

    ~ RONAN ~ Lyra and I linger like that for a while, bodies interlocked, tasting each other. She finally draws back gently to look me in the face, the warmth in her smile winding its way into my heart. I love the way her heart beats against my chest—proof that she’s alive and she’s all mine. She wets her thumb slightly on her tongue and swipes at the blood trails that color my face. I instinctively reach for her hand and squeeze it gently as I bury my chin in it. As she looks at me, her eyes convey a curiosity that her lips soon spill. “About the new you. You were… different after you got back up. What happened when you were under? How does it work?” She sounds as concerned as she is intrigued. I get her perplexity. I’m glad whatever happened to me helped us end Zarek’s evil for good. But I know I still need to understand exactly what it is. “I don’t know, baby. Draven said something about me being the Alpha Prime now. It’s an old wolf tale. I’ve never given it more than a pas

  • MARKED BY MOONLIGHT    Chapter 188 — Kill Them All

    ~ RONAN ~ With Lucian's collar still in my hands, I turn to face the vampires remaining, my face telling them a story that is as clear as day. I am demanding they behold the fate that will be theirs shortly. I return my focus to Zarek, who dangles in the air and lashes out with his massive claws, trying to rip me open and break free of my iron grasp. But his attacks do very little to break my skin, and my grip only tightens. I retract my free hand and ram it into Zerek's belly, extracting a moan from him like his subjects have never heard before. I pull back and drive my arm repeatedly into the vampire lord's torso. Then for good measure, I deliver a final punch to his gonads. The bat goes limp in my hand as he whimpers from the mind-numbing pain. "Now you know what it feels like," I grunt as I fling Zerek into the air like a wet rag. His body crashes into one of the stone chairs at the clearing. The jagged parts of the solid rock smash into his back, splintering his spine. He
