2025-03-15 02:46:44Liam’s POV
I had been in the middle of training when one of my warriors rushed over, his face serious. "Alpha, we found a girl at the pack borders. She’s injured—badly. We took her to the pack hospital." A girl? My brows furrowed. Rogues were common, but a lone girl showing up wounded? That was unusual. "Is she awake?" I asked, already moving. "She just woke up," he confirmed. I wasted no time, heading straight to the hospital. When I reached the room, I paused for a moment, placing my hand on the door handle. I had no idea who she was, how she got here, or what trouble she might bring. But I needed answers. Taking a breath, I pushed the door open and stepped inside. She sat up in bed, looking fragile beneath the thin hospital sheets. The dim lighting in the room softened the harsh bruises on her skin, but I still saw them—the fading purplish blotches along her cheekbone, the swollen cut on her lower lip. She had been through something terrible. But even injured, even weak, she was breathtaking. Her midnight-black hair cascaded down her shoulders in soft waves, slightly tangled but still beautiful. And her eyes—those deep, rich brown eyes—met mine for just a moment before she quickly looked away. The moment I stepped closer, her scent hit me. Sweet. Addictive. Unlike anything I had ever smelled before. My breath caught in my throat, and something inside me cracked wide open. Then, out of nowhere, my wolf roared inside my head, so loud that I almost lost my balance. Mate. The word pounded through me like a drum, over and over again. My body tensed, my hands clenched into fists at my sides. No. No, this couldn’t be happening. I had convinced myself a long time ago that I would never have a mate again. The Moon Goddess had cursed me—I knew it. I had spent years believing I was meant to be alone, that I wasn’t worthy of a second chance. Because of what I had done. Because of what happened last time. I deserved to be alone. But now… Now, she was right in front of me. I took a deep breath, trying to ignore the way my wolf clawed at me, desperate to claim her. I had to be sure. I had to stay in control. I stepped closer, making sure my face gave nothing away. "I’m Alpha Liam," I said, keeping my voice calm. "Who are you?" She hesitated. It was quick, but I noticed it—the way her lips parted slightly, her fingers twitching against the blanket as if she wasn’t sure what to say. Like she was trying to decide on an answer. Then she finally spoke. “…Lana.” Her voice was soft but steady. And the moment I heard it, something inside me clicked into place. Lana. A beautiful name. A name that now belonged to my mate. Something inside me shifted, like a puzzle piece snapping into place. My whole body tensed, every instinct screaming at me to move closer, to touch her, to make sure she was real. Mine. The word echoed in my head, filling every corner of my mind. My wolf paced restlessly, desperate to close the distance between us. I could feel the pull, the invisible thread tying us together, stronger than anything I had ever known. I wanted to say it out loud. I wanted to tell her she was mine. I wanted to reach out, to pull her into my arms and never let go. I wanted to mark her, to claim her, to make sure every wolf in this pack—and beyond—knew that she belonged to me. But I couldn’t. Because I already knew the truth. If I marked her… she would die.

Kat's POVAs I looked at him, I noticed things I hadn’t before. The way his jaw clenched tightly, like he was grinding his teeth to stop himself from saying something. His hands were at his sides, but his fingers twitched, curling in slightly like he was fighting the urge to reach for me.He wasn’t just standing still—he was holding himself back.That’s when the sinking feeling hit me. A cold, heavy weight dropped into my stomach.He knew.He knew I was his mate.The way his eyes locked on mine, intense and unreadable, gave it away. There was something in his stare—like he was looking through me, like he felt the same pull I did. The same electricity in the air. But he said nothing. Did nothing.My chest tightened painfully. Why wasn’t he saying it? Why wasn’t he claiming me?Was it because I didn’t look like the kind of girl he wanted? Because I was weak and hurt and lying in a hospital bed? Or maybe he already had someone. A chosen mate. A she-wolf who was stronger, prettier, more s

Kat's POV A few days passed by slowly. The only people I saw were the doctor and a couple of nurses who came to check on me or bring me food. They were nice, but they didn’t talk much. I didn’t mind at first because I was still tired and sore, but after a while, I started getting really bored.Alpha Liam hadn’t come back to see me, not even once. I tried not to care, but a small part of me felt disappointed. I told myself it didn’t matter, but the truth was, I kept hoping he would walk through the door. Every time I heard footsteps in the hallway, my heart would skip a beat—only for it to be a nurse or someone else. Never him.By the third day, I couldn’t take it anymore. I felt restless, like I was going to go crazy if I stayed in that hospital room any longer. So, I decided to take a walk.The evening air was cool and fresh as I stepped outside. The sky had soft shades of orange and pink as the sun slowly began to set. I breathed in deeply, the clean air filling my lungs. It felt g

Kat's POVI walked back to the pack hospital, my legs feeling kind of weak, like jelly. My chest still ached from what I had seen on the training field. I didn’t want to think about Alpha Liam and that beautiful blonde girl, but no matter how hard I tried, the image kept popping back in my head. Him smiling a little, her standing close, looking like she belonged next to him. It felt like I had been punched in the stomach, even though I had no right to feel that way.I sighed and pushed open the door to my hospital room, hoping to lie down and bury myself under the covers for a while.But the moment I stepped inside, I stopped.There was someone in my room.A young girl was standing there, waiting quietly. She looked like she might be around fifteen or sixteen. She had a sweet face, light brown skin, and soft curly hair tied back into a neat ponytail. She was wearing simple jeans and a grey hoodie with the pack’s emblem on the chest.For a second, we just stared at each other.“Um… hi?

Kat's POV I hesitated for just a second, then stepped inside.My breath caught in my throat.The room was beautiful.It wasn’t huge, but it was perfect. The walls were a soft dusty rose color, and the bed in the center of the room was neatly made with fluffy white sheets and a warm beige blanket folded at the foot. There were plump pillows stacked against the headboard and a soft rug underfoot that made me wiggle my toes even in my shoes.To the left was a desk beside a wide window, and outside, I could see the tops of the trees in the distance, swaying gently in the wind. A small potted plant sat on the desk, adding a bit of life to the space.“This is your room,” Cindy said kindly. “If you need anything at all, just find me or one of the omegas. We’ll help.”I nodded slowly, still overwhelmed by how thoughtful everything felt. I turned to her just as she was about to leave.“Wait,” I said. “What’s your name?”She turned back with a friendly smile. “Cindy.”“Thank you, Cindy,” I sai

Kat's POV I was woken up by the sound of knocking on my door. At first, I stayed still, cuddled up under the warm blankets, not wanting to move. My body felt heavy with sleep, and for a second, I forgot where I was. I blinked a few times, staring at the ceiling, until the knocking came again, a little louder this time.I forced myself to sit up, yawning as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. My voice came out scratchy when I called out, “Who is it?”A soft, polite voice answered from the other side of the door, “Breakfast is ready, miss.”I sat there for a second longer, processing the words. Breakfast. Right. I wasn’t at the pack hospital anymore. I was in the pack house now. In a real room that was mine.“Thank you!” I called out, my voice still a bit sleepy.I heard the sound of footsteps walking away, and after a few seconds, everything was quiet again. I let out a small sigh and pushed the covers off me. I sat on the edge of the bed, feeling the soft rug underneath my feet. I stret

Kat's POV The pack house was buzzing with life this morning. People were coming and going, talking and laughing. No one seemed to notice me, and I was glad for it. I wasn’t ready for more awkward encounters.After wandering a little and peeking into a few rooms like a lost puppy, I finally found the dining room.I paused in the doorway, nervous.The room was bright and full of life. Long tables stretched across the space, and pack members filled the seats, chatting and laughing like one big happy family. Some people looked around my age, others much older, probably warriors and elders of the pack.The smell of food hit me again—warm pancakes stacked high, crispy bacon, golden scrambled eggs, bowls of fresh fruit, pastries that looked straight out of a bakery. My mouth watered instantly.I stepped in quietly, hoping not to draw attention. No one even glanced at me, too busy with their own conversations.I walked down the side of the room and found an empty chair toward the end of one

Kat's POV I rounded the corner, my vision blurred with tears I refused to let fall.My chest ached, like someone was squeezing my heart.Why did it hurt so much?Why did seeing him look at me like I was nothing hurt even more than the laughter in the dining room?I wiped my eyes roughly with the sleeve of my top, not caring if anyone saw me.I just needed somewhere quiet.Somewhere to be alone.Somewhere I could fall apart without an audience."Are you okay?" a voice asked softly from behind me.I quickly wiped at my face with the sleeve of my top, trying to dry my tears before I turned around.When I looked up, I saw Cindy standing there. She had a worried look on her face, her brown eyes filled with concern.She was holding a tray with a few empty cups, like she had been helping clean up before she found me.I tried to smile, even though my throat felt tight and my chest still hurt."I'm fine," I said quickly, but my voice came out all shaky and weak.I wiped at my face again, just

Kat's POV I quickly sat up from the bed, brushing my hands over my leggings to straighten them out.My heart beat a little faster. Maybe it was Cindy with the food.I rushed over to the door and pulled it open.Sure enough, Cindy was standing there, a big tray of food balanced carefully in her hands.The smell hit me right away — it was so good it almost made me dizzy."Here you go," Cindy said, smiling brightly as she handed me the tray.I took it from her, being careful not to tilt it.I was honestly a little shocked by how much food was on it — scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, buttered toast, some roasted potatoes, and even a bowl of fresh fruits.There was a tall glass of orange juice sitting on the side and a small cup of what looked like coffee."Thank you," I said quickly, my voice soft but full of real gratitude.Cindy laughed a little, waving her hand like it was no big deal."Really, it’s no problem," she said warmly. "I’m happy to help. Enjoy your food!"Before I could say an

Kat's POV As the bell rang, signaling the end of the lesson, Mr. Jacobson smiled at the class. "Remember, understanding our history is key to understanding our future. It shapes everything we do as a pack."I packed up my things quickly, eager to escape the overwhelming amount of new information, but Blake stopped me before I could leave."So, what do you think?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.I shrugged, feeling a little out of my depth. "It’s a lot to take in," I admitted. "But I’ll figure it out."Blake grinned, slinging his backpack over his shoulder. "Don’t worry. You’ll fit right in. And hey, if you ever need help understanding any of it, I’m here."I smiled back, appreciating his offer. "Thanks, Blake. I might take you up on that."Blake and I walked to our next class together. As we made our way down the hall, I felt a little more relaxed now that I had someone to walk with. He kept talking to me, asking more about where I was from and how I liked Crescent Moon Pack so far. I

Kat's POV We arrived at Room 204 just as the bell rang, signaling that class was about to start. The classroom door was already open, and a few students had already trickled in. Blake opened the door for me, and I stepped inside, scanning the room quickly to see if there were any empty seats. Blake followed me inside, and after a quick glance around, he walked toward an empty desk in the middle of the room and slid into the seat next to it."Come sit next to me," Blake called out to me with a playful smile.I couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re really insisting on sitting next to me, huh?""Of course," he said with a smirk. "Who else would I sit with on the first day?"I rolled my eyes but couldn’t stop a small smile from tugging at my lips. "Alright, fine."We both settled into our seats, and I took out my notebook, trying to calm my nerves as I felt the weight of everyone’s eyes on me. The door at the front of the room opened, and the teacher, an older man with glasses and graying hai

Kat's POV I walked into the school building, the halls were buzzing with the sound of students chatting and laughing. I felt a little out of place, my heart racing as I tried to figure out where to go. It was my first day, and everything felt so new and overwhelming. The walls were lined with posters for upcoming events, and the lockers were stacked against the walls in neat rows. I felt like everyone already knew where they were going, and I was the only one who had no idea.I glanced around and spotted a student walking by. I must have looked lost because she gave me a small smile and asked if I needed help. I nodded, feeling a little embarrassed, and asked her where the admin office was. She pointed down the hallway and said it was at the end, then gave me a quick wave before hurrying off to her class.I took a deep breath and made my way down the hallway, trying to look confident even though I was still nervous. The walls seemed to close in a little as I walked, and I could feel

Kat's POV There was something in his tone that made my heart skip a beat. I quickly lowered my eyes and nodded. “Yes, Alpha.”The moment I said that, something strange happened.His body went a little stiff, and his eyes darkened—just for a second. Like there was something hidden under the surface. Something strong. Dangerous. Hungry. But then it disappeared, and his face was calm again.I blinked, wondering if I had imagined it.“Follow me,” he said.I followed him, walking beside him around the pack house. We didn’t speak, but I could hear the soft crunch of gravel under our feet and the sound of birds chirping in the trees.When we reached the garage, I stopped in my tracks. My mouth opened a little, and I just stood there, staring.I had never seen anything like it before in real life. The garage wasn’t just big—it was massive. Like, way bigger than the entire first floor of my old house. The outside walls were made of smooth gray stone, the kind that sparkled a little in the sun

Kat's POV I looked down at my plate instantly, staring hard at my food like it was suddenly the most interesting thing in the world. But I still felt him. Felt the way the room quieted, the way everyone turned to greet him.“Good morning, Alpha,” the pack members said almost in unison.I didn’t say anything. I just kept my head down, my eyes glued to the plate in front of me, like it held the secrets to the universe. My fingers trembled slightly, and I curled them into fists in my lap, willing them to be still. The last thing I needed was to draw attention to myself. Not after everything. Not after the way Angie had embarrassed me last time.But even without looking, I knew he was there.I could feel him.His presence was impossible to ignore—it filled the room like heat from a fire and electricity during a thunderstorm. It wasn’t loud or flashy, but it demanded attention, like a quiet storm building in the distance. My skin prickled as if the air had shifted the moment he walked in.

Kat’s POVIt had been a full week since I found out about my mom’s death. Some days felt longer than others, like they would never end. I had spent most of my time locked away in my room, curled up under the blankets, staring at the ceiling or crying into my pillow. My heart still hurt, like a piece of it had been ripped out and would never grow back. But today, for the first time in days, I felt a little stronger. I was finally ready to try and go back to school. At least, I hoped I was.Cindy had been my saving grace. She was always so kind, never pressuring me to talk or come out of my room. She just knocked softly, brought me breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, and smiled warmly even when I couldn’t return the smile. We talked sometimes—well, mostly she talked and I listened. I learned her parents were omegas in the Crescent Moon Pack, and she was only sixteen. She still had a cheerful way of talking, full of energy, even when things were quiet. It made me feel a little less a

Kat's POV He gave me a short nod back, then rolled up his sleeve slowly. I swallowed hard as I watched him bring his arm up to his mouth. Without flinching, without even hesitating, he sank his fangs into the side of his palm. The sound of his teeth breaking skin made me tense, and then I saw the dark red blood start to drip.It wasn’t like normal blood. It shimmered slightly, almost like it had gold in it. It was thick, warm, and had this strange scent—something rich and ancient and powerful. My stomach twisted, not in disgust, but in nervous anticipation.He walked toward me, holding out his bleeding hand.“This is the blood of your Alpha,” he said, voice low and steady. “Drink it, and you’ll be bound to me and this pack. It’s not just a ritual—it’s a promise. A bond. Once done, it cannot be broken.”I nodded again, my breathing quick and shallow. My knees felt a little weak, but I took a step forward.I reached for his hand slowly, like it was something sacred. When I gripped his

Kat's POVHis words made more tears fall.I didn’t even try to stop them this time. I was too tired. Tired of holding it in. Tired of pretending I was strong. Tired of pretending everything would be okay when I knew it wouldn’t. My whole body ached, not just from the crying, but from the weight of everything I’d been through. I felt hollow, like something had been ripped out of me.But still, I stayed in his arms.Alpha Liam held me without saying anything. He didn’t try to tell me it would be alright. He didn’t ask me to stop crying. He just stayed there, one arm wrapped firmly around my back while the other rested gently on the side of my head. His hand was warm against my hair, and for some reason, that simple touch made the pain feel just a little bit easier to carry.I let my head fall against his chest, hearing the slow, steady thump of his heart. It was comforting, like an anchor pulling me out of the storm inside me. I closed my eyes, breathing in his scent. It smelled like pi

Kat's POV I unfolded it slowly, and my eyes immediately caught the dark brown stains splattered across the front. Blood.My vision blurred with tears.I gripped the fabric so tightly my fingers hurt. I felt like the floor had disappeared from under me. Like I was falling into some dark, cold place and I couldn’t stop.“She…” I whispered, my voice breaking. “She was wearing this…”Beta Johnson didn’t say anything. He just looked at me with a kind of sadness in his eyes, like he already knew what I was thinking.I had been holding on to hope. I had told myself that maybe she had gotten away. Maybe she had escaped and just couldn’t find me. Maybe someone was helping her.But now…Now I knew.She was gone.My mom was dead.The pain hit me so hard it was like someone had reached into my chest and crushed my heart with their bare hands. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think. My mouth opened, but no sound came out at first—just a strangled gasp. Then the sob broke free, raw and loud, and it ech
