Chapter 74: Secrets Beneath the Howl

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-06-09 15:22:06

The howls echoed in the midnight air, long and mournful, resonating through the dense woods like a forgotten melody. The entire Mooncrest Pack had gathered for the full moon ritual—a sacred tradition meant to strengthen bonds and reconnect with their ancestral spirits. But for Aria, this night held an ominous weight. The ritual circle that once brought her comfort now felt like a trap.

She stood beside Alpha Kael, their fingers brushing slightly. Their connection had grown deeper since the confrontation with Alpha Ronan, but a new tension simmered beneath the surface. Kael had grown quieter these past few days, his gaze often distant. Something haunted him.

The pack began to shift, one by one surrendering to their wolves. Fur replaced skin, and glowing eyes gleamed in the moonlight. Aria, still learning to control her shifts, remained human for a moment longer. Kael leaned in.

“You don't have to rush. Shift when you're ready,” he whispered.

Aria nodded, swallowing the tight knot

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 75: Shadows of the Throne

    The weight of the crown had never been a physical thing, yet standing in the war room with the elders of both packs gathered, Raven felt it pressing down on her shoulders. The scroll that Aria had left behind—ancient, sealed in golden wax—rested between her palms like it contained the destiny of the realm. Killian stood beside her, arms folded, his gaze sharp. Though the silver scars from the last battle still marred his chest, his posture was tall, commanding, and regal. He was no longer just an Alpha in exile—he was the ruler of a fractured legacy trying to mend itself. "Open it," said Elder Kael, his voice rough like gravel but steady with reverence. "The seal of the Moonborne bloodline is sacred. It has not been broken in centuries." Raven nodded, pried away the wax with careful fingers, and unrolled the parchment. Her eyes flicked across the curling script, and a silence fell so heavy it choked the room. "It's... a blood pact," she whispered. "Not just between families—but be

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 73: Echoes of the Past

    The moment the crescent moon climbed into the night sky, casting its silver gaze over the treetops of Crimson Ridge, Selene felt the pulse of something ancient awaken within her. It wasn’t just the bond—though that tugged at her constantly—but something older, deeper. The whispers she had once dismissed as dreams had returned, louder, more urgent. She stood at the edge of the forest, arms folded over her chest, eyes fixed on the place where she had once seen the spirit wolf. The cold wind stirred her hair, brushing her skin with fingers like memory. Behind her, the camp stirred restlessly. Since their confrontation with the Crescent Fang rogues, the warriors had grown tense, their nerves frayed. Though they’d won that battle, they all knew the war was only beginning. “Selene,” a familiar voice called gently behind her. She turned. Aria stood a few feet away, her white cloak wrapped tightly around her shoulders, strands of silver hair caught in the wind. “You felt it too,” Aria sa

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 72: Whispers in the Dark

    The forest was alive with the sounds of the night—crickets chirping, leaves rustling in the cool breeze, and somewhere far off, the howl of a lone wolf. But in the heart of the Moonshade territory, everything felt unnerving still. Selene couldn’t sleep. The weight of the day pressed heavily on her chest. She lay in the center of the guest quarters within the Crimson Fang’s stronghold, the once-foreign scent of the rival pack now oddly familiar. The bed beneath her was soft, luxurious even, yet it offered no comfort. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the same things: blood, betrayal, and the burning eyes of Alpha Kade’s father staring at her from the shadows of memory. Kade was just a room away, standing watch. He had insisted she stay in the heart of their home, surrounded by the most loyal warriors, and under his personal protection. But even his presence wasn’t enough to silence the whispering doubts in her head. Was this alliance enough? Were they strong enough together t

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 71: The Truth Beneath the Ashes

    The forest was quiet that morning—too quiet. As Aria stood at the edge of the Silver Fang pack’s newly reclaimed territory, her heart thundered with uncertainty. The battle that had reshaped the lines of power was over, but the real war—the one no one could see—was just beginning. Damien stood a few paces behind her, his expression unreadable. For days, they had searched the ruins of the Blood Moon fortress, hoping to uncover something that would explain the shadows haunting them since the day Alpha Kael had fallen. But so far, all they had were ashes and broken stones. “You sure about this?” Damien asked, his voice low, his breath curling into the cold morning air. Aria nodded. “We have to know what was buried beneath the fortress. Kael didn’t build that place by accident. There’s something he was hiding.” Damien stepped forward and gently touched her shoulder. “If there’s danger—” “I need to see it for myself.” They descended into what remained of the underground chambers. Th

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 70 – The Corruption of the Moonstone

    The woods were shrouded in silver mist as the full moon rose over the distant hills. Its glow filtered through the canopy, illuminating the forest floor in shifting pools of light. Aria stood still in the center of the clearing, her breath shallow, her heart thudding like a war drum. She could feel the air trembling around her, charged with an ancient power that pulsed through her bones. Alpha Kael was only steps behind her, his scent grounding and familiar. “They’re near,” he said, his voice low but sharp with tension. “I can feel it. The Eastern Rogues.” Aria nodded, her fingers brushing over the hilt of the silver dagger tucked into her belt. “Let them come. We end this tonight.” After weeks of chasing rumors and following whispers in the wind, they had finally tracked the rogue faction to this remote part of the Eastern ridge—a sacred place, where old magics still slept beneath the soil. The pack elders had warned them not to trespass. But Aria knew they had no choice. The rogu
