2024-12-19 00:05:00Lunette's POV
I lay there in the dim light, still tangled in Axel's arms, my skin still flushed and tingling, almost trembling even from the assault of emotions and sensations.
His arms were draped possessively around me, fingers tracing lazy circles on my bare shoulder. For a fleeting moment, the world was still, like we were in our own bubble, and I was free from the judgment, guilt, and the crushing weight of responsibility that would follow our choice.
But it didn’t last.
Axel's heartbeat was steady against my ear, louder to me than the silence in the room but a contrast to the chaos swirling in my mind.
The room smelled of us—our shared passion and the consequences that would come later.
But as the high ebbed, guilt crashed down on me like a wave, suffocating and unrelenting.
My gut tightened immediately in regret at that point, but there was nothing I could do about i

Axel POV I pushed her out the door and leaned against it and took a deep breath. She didn't move immediately, and I didn't want to entertain any conversation until I was sure she was gone.I stood there, my hand on the door handle, listening as Lunetteโs hurried footsteps faded down the hall. My chest felt tight, every part of me screaming to go after her. But I couldnโt. Not now. Not with her standing in the room. Lorraine wasnโt the type to back down easily, and I knew without a doubt sheโd use this against us if it suited her. โHow can you be so sure?โ Lunette had asked, looking up at me, her eyes filled with fear, something so close to terror it had been difficult to look away. Her question had been valid, and so had my answer, because just like I had promised her, I wasn't going to let Lorraine ruin anything for her. Turning the lock with a sharp click, I leaned against the door for a moment, gathering myself. Then I turned back to the one face I didn't want to be anywhere

Axel POV "Then your father would have nothing to say about this," Lorraine said, her words cutting through the silence.My ears were ringing; maybe it was because the air in the room felt heavier than ever, pressing down on me as Lorraineโs smirk deepened. Or maybe it was because I couldnโt tell if the weight on my chest was anger, frustration, or the sickening realization of the corner sheโd just backed me into. I stalked over to her, taking a step into her space, letting my wolf rise just enough for her to feel the tension crackle in the air. I leaned against the wall, fists clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my palms, my wolf snarling inside me, with the familiar mix of chaos, anger, and frustration that mirrored my own emotions. Lorraine wasnโt someone I could afford to underestimate, not with what she had just seen and not when she held the power to destroy everything in my life just to spite me. โWhatever game you think youโre playing, Lorraine, it ends now,โ I gro

Zarek POVI woke up gasping for air, bolting upright as my heart hammered in my chest as the lingering effects of the nightmare clung to me like a second skin.The images were still as vivid and had seared themselves into my mind—my father’s lifeless body, blood all over the floor, Axel nowhere to be found, and Lunette’s screams as darkness swallowed her whole.I clenched my fists, trying to steady my breathing.“It’s just a dream,” I muttered, but the words felt hollow.It was just a dream.But it didn’t feel like one.I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, my hands shaking as I ran them through my damp hair.My room was suffocating; the walls seemed too close, the air too still. I swung my legs off the bed and stood, needing space, needing air.Sleep wasn’t coming back for me, not

Lorraine POV I stalked out of Axel's bedroom my heart pounding with satisfaction. I had gotten what I wanted and I was feeling on top of the world He had agreed to my terms. Of course, he had no choice but to. My heels clicked sharply across the hard wood floors as I made my way down the corridor, the sound echoed in the otherwise quiet space. I was familiar with these halls, just like I was familiar with the Grey Moon pack house. It was getting to dawn and the halls were still dimly lit,it would be a while before they would fully lit.It had been a while since I was back here but, I would be here a lot more often and that was amusing. A sly smile crept onto my lips as I thought about the power I now held. Axel was desperate and properly trapped, and it was all thanks to what I had stumbled upon the moment I arrived.I had not been sure how to pin him down when I left home for this pack, all I knew was I needed to get him back to me immediately. And by some sort of providence,

Lunnette's POV Ever since my meeting with Lorraine, in fact ever since Axel had slammed a door in my face after sending me on my merry way I had been an emotional wreck. The weight of Lorraineโs presence was floating over me like a storm cloud,a very dark and very suffocating storm cloud.My little chat with her earlier had left my nerves frayed and had my thoughts spiraling in a thousand directions. What would she do with Axel, what would she tell him? Would she expose me to the pack?I was still struggling to fit in here, and they would no doubt be people who would want me gone because I lied.Worse yet, what if she went to the twins orโgoddess forbidโAlpha Cormac? My heart clenched at the thought of his piercing eyes darkening with betrayal. I had fought so hard to build this life, to protect myself and those I cared about. It couldnโt all come crashing down now, not because of her. What would I tell them!My stomach churned at the thought. I paced my room, the wood floor

Lunette POV โWhat do you want?โ I asked again, my voice quieter now. Her eyes gleamed with triumph as she pulled back a bit. โAh, now weโre getting to the good part,โ she said. She circled me slowly, like a predator stalking its prey. โWhat I want,โ she said, drawing out the words, โis to see you squirm. To see you suffer, it's a past time of mine you see" she mumbled and I flinched โIโll keep your secret,โ she started walking around me like a vulture circling prey, she sounded too gleeful about this that it made it almost to difficult to let it go.โIf,โ she added, her smile returning, โyou do exactly as I say.โMy stomach dropped, and I stared at her in disbelief. โWhat do you mean?โโYou heard me,โ she said, her voice as smooth as silk lie she was an innocent girl asking for an innocent favour when we both knew that couldn't be further from the truth โIf you want me to keep my mouth shut, youโre going to do what I want, when I want.โI swallowed hard, dread pooling in m

Lunette POV The castle was buzzing with energy that. I didnโt quite describe, it wasnโt the good kind though. Lorraineโs tantrums were constantly in the background, but I did my best to ignore them. She thrived on the attention, and I refused to give her that satisfaction. Between Lorraineโs constant tantrums, the twins complete absence and my growing fear that Alpha Cormac would uncover the truth, I felt like a rabbit trapped in a den of wolves. So I did what I had been the best at doing, I poured my energy into spending time with Cormac, convincing myself that this was where my focus should be. After all, this engagement wasnโt just about usโit was about securing my future. I spent most of my days either dodging Lorraineโs pointed remarks and orders or trying to keep my composure as Cormacโs watchful eyes bore into me on our date. It was exhausting. I was on another date with him because somehow, in the midst of all this chaos, we found ourself spending more time together.

Axel POV I had been staying away from the pack for days; that was the best I could do in my situation anyway, keeping my distance not just from Lorraine but from everything that reminded me of the chaos she brought into my life. The training grounds had become my escape, a place where the world couldnโt reach meโwhere the grueling, relentless grind of drills, sparring matches, and runs through the forest left my muscles aching with exhaustion and kept my mind off Lunette, off Lorraine, and off the mess Iโd tangled myself in. No one bothered me here. It was just me, my wolf, and the quiet solitude of the woods. My muscles burned, but I welcomed the ache. Pain was better than thinking about anything tonight. I was just finishing another brutal set of drills, sweat dripping down my back, as I landed another punch against the training dummy; its burlap form swayed precariously from the impact when I caught the scent of something that made my stomach churn.It was faint at first, but i

Lunette POV The moment that Varda fired that bolt I had been sure it would hit Axel. So sure in fact that the world had slowed around me, my breath caught in my throat as I braced for the worst. But then Lorraine had stepped in. While she quarreled with her mother all I could feel was reliefโuntil Varda struck again, until I saw the bright red blood spreading across her clothes as she crumpled to the floor. Varda had tried to kill her own daughter. For a second, all I could do was stare. I stood frozen, watching in horror as Axel caught Lorraine before she hit the dirt. Lorraineโs body trembled, her hands pressing against the wound, her lips parted in shock. Varda turned back to Axel but before I could react, Zarek moved. A low, guttural growl ripped from his throat as his body twisted and grew, his Lycan form bursting free. He lunged at Varda, his teeth bared in a snarl. Varda barely had time to turn before his fangs sank deep into her neck. Her scream was cut off as he tor

Zarek POV They attacked us first, or they tried to anyway, after our escape we made plans to draw them out, it would be the best way to even our playing field and she was pissed when she discovered we were missing. She had brought her men in immediately,"Kill them all!" She roared and the battle that followed afterwards was pure chaos. Snarls and screams filled the night air as blood soaked the dirt beneath my feet. My muscles burned, but I couldnโt stop. Not now. Not until Varda was dead. The Lycan curse poured through my veins like fire, pain following it and pushing me past my limits. My body twisted, the monstrous power within me taking over. My claws lengthened, my teeth sharpened, and a guttural roar tore from my throat. Vardaโs men hesitated at the sight of me. Good. They should be afraid. With a single leap, I tore into the nearest warrior, my claws ripping through armor and flesh like paper. The scent of blood thickened in the air as another wolf lunged at me his

Axel POV The weight of Curtisโs death still hung heavy in the air, but we had no time to grieve. The dungeon might have been cold and suffocating, but the fire of rage burning inside me made it bearable.We had to escape, and we had to bring Varda down. Zarek sat against the wall, arms crossed, jaw clenched. He hadnโt spoken much since Curtis died. I could see the storm brewing inside him, the need for vengeance, for blood. I felt it too, and it wasn't just the curse, to know that our mother had died at the hands of such a man. But LunetteโLunette was different. She stood between us, but she didnโt cry anymore, the tears from earlier seemed to have dried up. "We have to kill her." Zarek hissed and shook his head "No." โWe have to be smart,โ he continued, voice steady. โWe canโt just rush into a fight. Varda is dangerous. If we attack without a plan, weโll lose.โ โShe killed our mother,โ he growled, his voice raw. "She killed our father. She has to pay for it.โ Lunette,

Lunette POV I couldnโt move, I couldnโt breathe. To have Varda standing before me, tall and proud no hint of remorse in her eyes, her golden hair catching the flickering light of the candle in the cabin we had run to, and her eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she looked down at me, at all of us. "You look surprised, darling." She purred, stepping closer, the scent of death clung to her, or was that Curtis blood pooling over the floor making my stomach churn. "Surely, you knew this day would come." I shook my head, willing myself to speak, but nothing came out. โWhereโs Alpha Slade?โ Axel asked, his voice low and dangerous. His hands curled into fists at his sides, barely restrained fury radiating off him. "He has to know that this won't end well for him." Varda sighed dramatically. โHe's outlived his usefulness honestly it was such a burden waiting for him to kick the bucket" My fatherโฆ dead? My legs nearly gave out, and I staggered back. โNo,โ I whispered, my voice ba

Axelโs POVThe council chambers were suffocating me, and Lorraine standing beside me was not doing me any favors to be honest, her face composed but I saw the glint in her eyes. She had me wrapped around her fingers and the council was helping her squeeze. They had all but declared, Lunette, Curtis and Zarek traitors to the pack. โWe cannot allow them to run free,โ Lorraine said, her voice dripping with false concern."If Zarek and Lunette are left unchecked, theyโll bring ruin to Grey Moon. We have to act before itโs too late.โ I clenched my fists at my sides, barely containing my anger because I knew she didnโt care about the pack, only her own ambitions but her performance was flawless and the council bought it, murmuring their agreement,โAlpha Axel,โ elder Fred addressed me. "You must send your soldiers to apprehend them. For the good of the pack.โ I had gotten used to those words over the last few days, even more than I had gotten used to my own father's death.

A storm of satisfaction had spread through me, filling me, this was good. I needed this chance now, cold determination settled over me as I leaned back in the ornate chair in Slade'sโmy study now. The Grey Moon pack was vulnerable. Their leadership in shambles this was the time for me to get more than I had wanted with the chaos that was no doubt already starting to spread.

She didnโt kill Father, Axel.โ The tension in the room was suffocating and I really didn't need to be pissed, Axel stood at the head of his table, his arms crossed over his chest, his jaw set tight, I stood across from him bracing my hands on the surface of the table, it was barely enough to keep myself from reaching across and shaking some sense into him. โI didnโt say she did. But until we know for sure whoโs behind this, I canโt take any chances.โ โChances?โ I barked, slamming my fist on the table.โYouโre not just taking a chance, youโre condemning her.

Lunette POV My whole body ached from hours of training with Zarek, each and every muscle group screamed in protest as I settled into the chair beside Alpha Cormacโs bed. With the room dimly lit, the only light coming from the faint glow of the monitors tracking his vitals.The steady beeping was oddly comforting, I could at least hold on to the fact he was still with us. I watched him breath in and out guilt gnawing at my insides. He looked a bit better today, not so pale, maybe soon he would wake up. He had nearly died protecting me. He shouldnโt have risked himself for someone like me. I slumped into the chair by Alpha Cormacโs bed and I told myself Iโd only rest my eyes for a moment, just long enough to catch my breath. โIโll make it right,โ I whispered, my voice barely audible. โIโll find a way to fix this, to protect your pack... your family.โ But the steady rhythm of the machines and the quiet hum of the room lulled me into sleep.I didnโt even realize when my eyes closed,

Lorraineโs POVIt was dark outside and quiet wrapped around the pack house like a shroud, it had never been this quiet in a long time the stillness was broken only by the occasional creak of the old walls or the distant howl of a wolf. This was a perfect time for what I had to do, it was the perfect cover.I slipped through the hallways, keeping my footsteps as silent against the wooden floors as possible, my heart pounded in my chest, but it was not from fear. No, this wasnโt fear. This was anticipation. Alpha Cormacโs injury had given me the perfect opening because now with him bedridden and Zarek too preoccupied with training that brat girl Lunette, Axel was the only one fit to step up as acting Alpha. And if Axel became Alpha, well... I would ensure that I was by his side as Luna. It was time to act. Time to turn the chaos to my advantage, meaning there was no room for error tonight.
