Cassian’s POV

The heavy oak desk in my private study was covered in endless maps, pack ledgers, and trade agreements, but I hadn't read a single line of text in over two hours.

Outside the tall stained-glass windows, a cold, violent rain lashed against the stone walls of the black tower. Lightning flashed across the dark night sky, illuminating the quiet room in sharp, ghost-white bursts.

I sat back in my high-backed leather chair, staring blankly at the empty glass of whiskey resting in my pal

    Cassian’s POVThe heavy oak desk in my private study was covered in endless maps, pack ledgers, and trade agreements, but I hadn't read a single line of text in over two hours.Outside the tall stained-glass windows, a cold, violent rain lashed against the stone walls of the black tower. Lightning flashed across the dark night sky, illuminating the quiet room in sharp, ghost-white bursts.I sat back in my high-backed leather chair, staring blankly at the empty glass of whiskey resting in my palm.My mind was somewhere else entirely.It was out in the freezing northern ridges. It was in the dark, snow-covered forests where her scent—that sweet, distinct mix of crushed pine needles and royal frost—had completely vanished into thin air three weeks ago.Ivy.Even now, weeks after I had spoken the sharp words of rejection under the blinding light of the full moon, her face remained burned into the back of my eyelids. I could still hear the sickening sound of her knees hitting the hard ston

  • MOON BOUND: BROKEN BY THE PACK   Chapter 17: Shadows of the Hearth

    Ivy's POVThe heavy iron door of the inner chamber swung shut, cutting off the low hum of the healers and guards in the stone hall.My mother walked over to the small hearth in the corner, where a soft fire crackled, casting long, jumping shadows across the stone walls. She picked up a silver kettle, her hands steady now, though her pale eyes remained heavy with years of dark memories.I sat on the edge of the low wooden cot, wrapping a thick wool blanket tight around my shoulders. My body still throbbed with a dull, constant ache, but the two steady heartbeats pulsing deep in my belly kept me grounded."Mother," I said softly, my voice breaking the heavy silence. "When I was in the pack manor... Sabastian treated me like garbage. He let Aveline lock me in the cold cellar. He let Bianca step on my neck. He let Commander Garrett chain me in silver. I always thought he spared my life eighteen years ago just so he could turn me into a servant."My mother paused, holding the kettle over t

  • MOON BOUND: BROKEN BY THE PACK   Chapter 16: The Weight of Mercy

    Ivy's POVThe heavy iron bells at the peak of the sanctuary tower began to ring, sending low, terrifying booms echoing through the dark mountain hall."Evacuate the lower rooms!" the lead guard’s voice roared over the chaos, echoing down the stone corridors. "Move the wounded to the rear tunnel! Move, move, move!"Thick black smoke billowed through the open windows of the stone hall. Outside, distant gunshots and heavy explosions shook the mountain, causing dust and tiny bits of rock to rain down from the ceiling. The secondary Blood Moon strike team had breached the perimeter, and they were tearing through the compound with raw violence.I pushed myself off the wooden bench, my legs shaking violently under my weight. My hands went instantly to my stomach, protectively shielding the delicate pulse deep inside my weak body."Ivy, no!" my mother cried out, reaching to grab my arm as healers rushed past us carrying wooden stretchers loaded with bleeding warriors. "You are too weak! Your

  • MOON BOUND: BROKEN BY THE PACK   Chapter 15: The Broken Sanctuary

    Ivy's POVThe heavy stone hall felt suffocatingly small.Outside, the freezing wind roared down from the northern peaks, but inside, the air was thick with mistrust. Every shadow looked like a threat. Every guard standing near the high timber doors looked like an enemy."We do this quietly," my mother said softly, her voice carrying a cold, sharp edge as she turned to Commander Boris. "If the people realize an informant is among us, panic will tear this camp apart faster than Cassian's Enforcers.""I will lock down the perimeter gates immediately, my Queen," Boris growled, his gloved hand gripping the hilt of his broadsword. "No one enters or leaves without my personal mark.""Do it," my mother ordered.As Boris turned and strode out into the snowy courtyard, I pulled my mother’s thick fur cloak tighter around my shoulders. My body still throbbed with a deep, aching exhaustion. The fight in the cabin had drained my energy, and the constant, heavy pulse of the twins in my belly made my

    Ivy's POVThe breath left my lungs all at once."Twins...?" I echoed, my raspy voice barely audible over the groans of the wounded warriors filling the dim stone hall.My mother kept her glowing, silver-dusted hands pressed flat against my lower belly, her pale face completely drained of color. "Yes, Ivy. Two distinct life forces... two beating hearts."I looked down at my abdomen, my bandaged hands trembling as I placed them over hers. Deep inside the warm center of my body, the faint, gentle pulse I had felt for weeks split into two unmistakable, rhythmic beats. One beat felt cool, steady, and soothing like a quiet snowfall. The other thrummed with a heavy, restless heat that sent a sharp spike of raw power through my blood."How is that possible?" I whispered, fresh tears spilling down my bruised cheeks. "I'm just an Omega... my wolf was poison-bound for months...""You are no Omega," my mother said softly, her thumb gently wiping a tear from my eye. She leaned closer, her voice dr

  • MOON BOUND: BROKEN BY THE PACK   Chapter 13: Twin Flames

    Ivy's POVThe scent of crushed mountain herbs and warm pine oil filled the quiet wooden cabin.I lay on a low bed covered in thick wolf furs, staring up at the dark timber beams of the ceiling. The silver burns on my wrists were smoothed over with thick green salve, dulling the sharp fire in my flesh to a low, throbbing ache.Deep in my chest, Vanya purred softly, drawing strength from the northern magic hanging heavy in the air. My body was battered, my ribs still throbbed with every breath, and my skin was pale as ice, but I was alive. And my baby’s soft, warm presence still pulsed steadily in my belly.Suddenly, the heavy wooden door of the cabin was thrown open, smashing hard against the wall."Enforcers!" a young guard screamed, his chest heaving as blood dripped down his leather armor. "Blood Moon Enforcers! They breached the southern wards! They found the sanctuary!"Loud explosions shattered the peace of the valley. Screams echoed through the trees outside, followed by the ter
