Astria’s POV

Alone in my chamber, my thoughts tangled like vines. Noria’s quiet face haunted me. She might look aloof, always so strong, but underneath she was just like the rest of us…a girl waiting, hoping, dreaming.

“I pray the Moon Goddess grants her heart’s desires,” I whispered into the silence.

“Moon Goddess probably has plans for her,” came the soft, steady voice inside me…my wolf.

I froze. My heart skipped. She had always been there, but for so long, I’d been too afraid… too overwhelmed… to truly face her.

“I’ve been waiting,” she murmured, her tone both ancient and comforting, “waiting for you to name me.”

Her words struck me deep. Of course, she could hear my thoughts…every flicker of doubt, every heartbeat of fear. I hadn’t yet learned how to block her, but right now, I didn’t want to.

A shiver danced down my spine as I whispered, “Nysera.”

The name felt like it belonged to her all along. I gave it to her because of my eyes—those strange, rare pink eyes. Nysera, night star

    Astria’s POVTime has passed, but I’m no longer the frightened girl who woke up trembling in the Alpha King’s bed.I’ve learned to breathe around him.To exist in the same space without feeling like I’m going to shatter.Zeyric hasn’t pushed. He hasn’t demanded or forced me to be anything other than what I am. And that… that alone has broken down more walls in me than any soft word ever could.Now, when he enters a room, my heart doesn’t leap out of fear.... it stirs with something I can’t quite name. Something between safety and danger. Something that makes me want to stay.I’ve also come to understand that he isn’t just one being.There’s Zeyric...the Alpha King.Then there’s Maelen, the calm within his storm ... the gentle one who speaks softly, who soothes my mind when my thoughts grow too loud.And Lokar — the dark, quiet presence that watches me from the corners of his soul.

  • MARKED BY THE MOON    chapter nine

    Zeyric’s POVThe ride was silent, but the air between us was heavy, thick with a tension I couldn’t ignore. Astria sat beside me, her presence pulling at something primal and dangerous inside me. Every time her scent drifted toward me soft, intoxicating. I had to fight the urge to lean closer. She looked nervous, fiddling with her fingers as though she carried the weight of a secret she couldn’t tell.When we arrived, the restaurant staff practically bent at the waist as soon as they caught sight of me. Their respect was expected, yet my gaze never left Astria. I wanted her to see this world, this respect, this power. It was hers too, whether she believed it or not.The head chef personally rushed forward, nearly tripping over himself in his eagerness.“Alpha King, we’ve prepared your private suite as requested.”“Good,” I replied curtly, my hand instinctively brushing against Astria’s lower back as I guided her inside. She stiffened under my touch, and I felt her hesitation like a bl

  • MARKED BY THE MOON    chapter seven

    Astria’s POVI’m still me… just different.My once simple white hair now flows like liquid moonlight, shimmering as though spun from silver itself. My face feels sculpted, refined, ethereal, touched by something not of this world. And my eyes… Those strange pink eyes burn brighter than ever, glowing with an intensity that makes me shiver when I catch my own reflection.I slide my hands slowly down the length of my body, every inch softer, every curve sharper, perfectly carved as though the Goddess herself molded me anew. But it’s not just the change in flesh. There’s something deeper, a pull in the air around me. An ancient energy, vast and commanding, clings to me like a second skin. It thrums in my veins, whispers in my bones.The maid bows low, her voice trembling yet reverent.“Luna Queen, the Alpha King commanded me to prepare you. You’re to meet your friends in the pack gardens.”Luna Queen?The title rings in my ears, heavy, impossible. My chest tightens, panic clawing at me. H

  • MARKED BY THE MOON    chapter six

    Zeyric’s POVI sat at the edge of the bed, watching her sleep. My little mate. So small. So soft. So utterly beautiful that my chest ached just looking at her. The moonlight slipped through the window, painting her pale skin and silver hair in a glow that made her seem unearthly.“She’s so little… like she could break just by breathing wrong,” Maelen’s voice rumbled inside me, heavy with concern.“No,” Lokar growled. “Mate is strong. I can feel it burning in her blood. She won’t break.”I clenched my jaw. “I know she’s strong. But why? why did she shift for the first time only yesterday? She looked so terrified.”The beasts quieted for a moment, shadows prowling in the corners of my mind.“Enough questions,” Lokar hissed. “We’ll get answers later. She’s waking up.”Her eyelashes fluttered, soft pink eyes blinking open as though the light was too much. She frowned, confusion clouding her features. For a heartbeat, she looked lost and fragile, like she had no idea where she was or how s

  • MARKED BY THE MOON    chapter five

    Chapter FiveAstria’s POVWe arrived later than expected, so there was no time to catch our breath. All pack members, including the invited guests, were already moving toward the forest’s edge, the sacred entrance for the Blood Moon Run. The tension in the air was thick with anticipation and instinct. I could feel it vibrating beneath my skin.Everyone was shifting, some into their wolf forms, others remaining human. The red moon hadn’t fully risen yet, but its light was already creeping into the sky, casting a crimson glow over the trees like a warning or a promise.“You don’t have to worry about shifting,” Mariah said, nudging me gently as she handed me a silver loose slip dress. “Some of us choose not to. The blood moon heightens our senses, smell, and instinct. It’s easy to lose control in wolf form.”I nodded, fingers brushing the smooth fabric. Apparently, it was tradition for females to wear slip dresses during the run, while the males wore only shorts. Something about being co
