The morning after the attack, the Crimson Fang pack's territory felt unnaturally still. The usual chorus of birdsong had been replaced by an eerie silence that weighed heavily over the land. A gray mist curled around the trees, cloaking the scars left behind from the Black Crescent’s ambush. Fires had been extinguished, bodies buried, and yet the sense of unease remained like smoke clinging to charred walls.

Alpha Kael stood at the edge of the northern border, arms folded across his chest, his golden eyes scanning the horizon. He hadn't slept. The memory of the battle still played in his mind—the look in Aria’s eyes when she had faced the enemy, the surge of fear and fury that had coursed through him when her life had been endangered.

His thoughts were interrupted when he sensed her presence. Aria stepped beside him, her arms wrapped around herself for warmth, though the morning was not cold. Her gaze followed his into the trees.

"They’re not gone," she said quietly.

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 69: Shadows in the Alpha's Court

    The morning after the full moon hung heavy in the air, its residual magic still lingering across the Crescent Moon Pack lands. The scent of pine and damp soil filled the air, carried on a breeze that whispered of change. Aria stood by the window of the Alpha’s quarters, wrapped in a dark velvet robe, watching the horizon turn gold and pink. The night had been quiet, deceptively so, and it left a pressure in her chest that wouldn’t let her breathe easily. There had been no attacks. No signs of rogues. No dreams or visions. And that silence was somehow more terrifying than any chaos. Behind her, Alpha Kael stirred in the massive bed. His bare chest rose and fell steadily, but the slight tightening around his eyes even in sleep gave away the unrest he was trying to suppress. He was fighting battles even in his dreams. Aria turned toward him, brushing a strand of hair from her face as she crossed the room. She sat on the edge of the bed and studied him for a moment. The man who was onc

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 68 – The Alpha’s Gambit

    The atmosphere in the Nightfang Pack's war chamber was taut with tension. Maps sprawled across the stone table, marked with crimson ink, while scouts moved in and out, delivering fresh intelligence. Alpha Kael stood at the center, arms crossed, his golden eyes blazing with determination as his Beta relayed the latest developments from the front lines. “They’re moving faster than we predicted,” Beta Lucian said, tapping a dagger against the map. “The Rogues have formed an alliance with remnants of the Crimson Talon. If they reach the eastern ridge by dawn, we’ll lose our supply line.” Kael growled low in his throat. The Crimson Talon—Aria’s former tormentors—were supposed to have been vanquished. Their reappearance wasn’t just a military threat; it was a symbolic one. They were ghosts from a past that still haunted Aria’s nights. “We’ll send the Shadowfang unit around the ridge,” Kael said. “I want those traitors flanked and broken before sunrise.” Lucian nodded and turned to issue

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 66: Secrets Beneath the Moonlight

    The moonlight spilled over the Silver Claw Pack like liquid silver, casting long shadows that danced with the whisper of wind between the trees. Aria stood alone on the edge of the forest, her hands resting on her abdomen, where a secret stirred within her—a secret that could change everything. She hadn’t told anyone yet. Not even Alpha Kael. She feared what the truth might bring. The bond between them had deepened in ways she hadn’t expected, forged by fire, pain, and reluctant trust. But would he stand beside her if he learned she carried the child of a man he once called his sworn enemy? Lucien’s voice haunted her dreams. Even in death, the traitor Alpha still clawed at her mind, reminding her of the bloodline that flowed in her unborn child. “You are mine, Aria. Even in death, I’ve marked you…” Aria shivered. She pressed a hand to the scar beneath her collarbone—the mark Lucien gave her forcefully during the Blood Moon raid. It had faded over time but never truly disappeared.

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 65: Threads of Destiny

    The wind carried the faint scent of blood and ash as dawn broke over the Moonshade territory. A chill had settled in the air—not one brought by the weather but by the creeping presence of war. From the central watchtower, Aria gazed out over the hills, her fingers clenched around the iron railing. Her thoughts were far from the horizon. The dream had come again. This time, clearer—Killian falling to his knees, the roar of his wolf shaking the trees, and the fire devouring their home. And the child’s cry... it had sounded closer. She didn’t believe in omens before. But now, with so much at stake and her mother’s warning still fresh in her mind, she couldn’t afford to ignore the signs. Behind her, the floor creaked. “You’re up early,” Killian’s voice rumbled softly, still husky from sleep. Aria didn’t turn. “I couldn’t sleep.” He moved to stand beside her, resting his forearms on the railing. “The letter?” “The dream,” she confessed. Killian’s gaze sharpened. “It came again?”

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 64: Shadows Before the Storm

    The night fell heavy over Moonshade Pack, cloaking the lands in a dense hush. The moonlight trickled through the canopy above the training grounds, where Killian stood, shirtless and glistening with sweat. His fists struck the post with rhythmic precision, each blow a release of the frustration mounting inside him. The council meeting had ended in heated disagreement. Alphas from surrounding allied packs were divided. Some were loyal to Killian, others were still skeptical of his bond with Aria—the daughter of a traitor, they reminded him. It didn’t matter that she had risked her life time and again. The mark on her skin and the blood in her veins became fuel for doubt. "You need to rest," Aria’s voice called from behind, soft but firm. Killian didn’t turn immediately. He could feel her presence, warm and grounding even in the cold air. “I can’t,” he finally said, his voice gravelly. “Not when there are whispers of rebellion among my own allies.” Aria stepped closer, her han
