The Mooncrest pack grounds were shrouded in an eerie quiet that morning. The kind of silence that lingered before a storm. A storm Aria could feel in her bones.

She stood alone on the overlook that faced the eastern border, the morning breeze lifting strands of her dark hair. The scars from the recent Council confrontation still tingled faintly under her tunic, a reminder of how close they’d come to losing Kael—to losing everything. Below, warriors trained in tighter formations, their movements more precise than before, more desperate. Word of the Crimson Fang Pack’s imminent strike had spread like wildfire, and for the first time, Mooncrest and Darkveil stood as one in defense.

Behind her, the heavy tread of boots approached. Aria didn’t need to turn to know it was Elandra.

“They’re mobilizing,” Elandra said simply, her voice grim. “Scouts spotted Crimson Fang banners not five miles from the border.”

“How many?” Aria asked, gripping the stone ledge.

“Too many.”

Aria’s heart bea

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 100: Echoes of Tomorrow

    The fires had finally died. Smoke still hung low over Mooncrest Valley, casting a hazy veil over the once-sacred lands. Charred timber and broken stone littered the ground, and the acrid scent of ash clung stubbornly to the air. But there was silence now—heavy, aching, but peaceful. Aria stood at the crest of the hill overlooking the valley, her cloak fluttering in the breeze. The sun had just begun to rise, weak but determined, painting the sky with streaks of orange and gold. Below, warriors moved like shadows across the ruins, digging trenches, tending to the wounded, and gathering the dead. The battle was over. For now. But peace was still a distant dream. Behind her, Kael emerged from a half-collapsed stone building, his chest bare and bandaged. Deep claw marks marred his side, but he walked with the same unwavering strength that had carried them through every trial so far. “Elandra said scouts spotted movement near the southern border,” he said. “Small patrols. Could be Cr

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 99: Flame of Reckoning

    The fire burned higher than the trees. A wall of crimson and gold lit up the northern sky as Kael and Aria emerged from the shadowed path leading from the temple ruins. Behind them, the echoes of ancient truths still whispered through the stones, and before them—the night screamed with chaos. Smoke rolled in thick columns over Mooncrest Valley, where the Crimson Fang had finally made their move. Villages once hidden beneath the moon's protection were ablaze. The warning bells howled from distant towers, carried on wind that tasted of ash and blood. Aria’s breath caught in her throat. “They didn’t wait,” she whispered, hand instinctively going to her dagger. “They launched their attack before the council could rally the packs.” Kael’s jaw clenched, his golden eyes glinting like twin suns. “They knew we’d be distracted by the Trial. They took advantage of the Council’s division.” “And we played right into it,” Elandra said grimly, appearing beside them. Her hood was thrown back, re

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 98: Beneath the Gathering Clouds

    The wind howled across the high ridges of Mooncrest Valley, rustling through the forest canopy like whispered warnings. Clouds—dark and bloated—rolled in from the north, masking the moon’s gentle glow. A storm was coming, not just from the skies, but in the hearts of every wolf standing in the valley below. Kael stood at the edge of the encampment, his eyes fixed on the horizon. His jaw was tight, brows furrowed as if he could will the oncoming danger to reveal itself. His tunic, dark and worn from the trials, fluttered in the breeze like a war banner. Behind him, Aria approached with careful steps, her scent a welcome balm in the air thick with dread. “We need to move the elders to the lower grounds,” she said softly, her hand brushing his arm. “If the Crimson Fang strike tonight, we won’t have time to protect everyone.” Kael turned to her, eyes lingering on her face. The moonlight, even dimmed by the stormclouds, found her cheekbones and the curve of her jaw. She was strength and

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 97: Whispers Before the Storm

    The skies above Mooncrest were awash with crimson and ash, the remnants of twilight bleeding into the encroaching darkness. The Trial by Moonlight had ended, but its echoes still rang in every stone, in every breath taken by those who bore witness. The Council’s acceptance of Aria and Kael’s bond had shaken the ancient foundations of tradition—and yet, beneath the surface of celebration, unease festered. Aria stood atop the western watchtower, the cool breeze tugging at her cloak. Her silver eyes scanned the dark horizon, where mountains loomed like slumbering titans. The scent of pine and distant rain curled in the air, but something darker clung to the wind. Something old… something coming. “You can feel it too,” Kael said softly behind her. She turned, watching him approach, his steps silent despite the weight he carried. The Council had unchained his body, but not all their doubt. Whispers still followed him in the halls—about his bloodline, about what his union with Aria truly

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 96: Echoes That Haunt Us

    The embers from the memory stones still glowed faintly as Aria and Kael left the sacred grove behind. The night air was sharp with dew and heavy with unspoken truths. The Trial by Moonlight had vindicated their bond, but the whispers of the past still clung to them like smoke—impossible to fully shake off. As they walked toward the edge of the forest, hand in hand, Aria could feel the weight of her mother’s voice echoing in her thoughts. "You endanger the Mooncrest." Was it true? Had her bond with Kael truly fractured the old order beyond repair? “I can feel your heartbeat,” Kael murmured beside her, brushing his thumb across the back of her hand. “You’re not okay.” Aria hesitated. “Do you think we made it worse?” He stopped walking and faced her fully. “What do you mean?” She lifted her eyes to his, her voice low. “By standing together… by defying them. The Trial proved us right, yes, but what if they still see us as a threat? What if we pushed the Council deeper into division

  • Marked by the enemy alpha   Chapter 95: Shadows of the Past

    The dawn light filtered gently through the towering stained-glass windows of the Mooncrest Temple, casting fractured rainbows across the ancient stone floor. Despite the peace that had been declared the night before, the temple felt heavy with unspoken tension, as if the air itself was charged with anticipation and uncertainty. The sacred hall, once a place of cold judgment and unwavering tradition, was now a crucible for change — fragile, yet filled with the possibility of a new future. Aria sat quietly on the edge of the council chamber’s marble bench, her fingers tracing the delicate carvings etched into the wood. The events of the Trial by Moonlight played over in her mind — the ghosts they had faced, the fire leap, the solemn words of the elders. The verdict was clear: their bond was divine, blessed by the Moon Goddess herself. Yet, beneath that sacred judgment lurked shadows of doubt and resistance, whispering that this victory was only the beginning of a longer, harder battle.
