Cast aside, branded unworthy, and left for dead, she awakens in enemy territory with no memory of who she is. Her return sparks old rivalries and awakens dangerous truths. The pack she once bled for crowned another in her place. The man she trusted most lies at the heart of the treachery. Kaelis must choose between love and vengeance, loyalty and freedom. Her decision will decide the fate of every wolf alive. And this time, she will not be silenced.
View MoreKaelis’ povThe past two weeks had changed me in ways I did not expect. At first, I thought I would break, but had they let me help in the clinic, and that work kept me standing. I carried water for the healers, held down bandages, steadied trembling hands when patients were too weak to lift themselves.It was not much, but it was enough to remind me I was not completely useless. Even when my hands shook, even when my stomach turned at the sight of wounds, I forced myself through it.The King had also moved me from that cage they first called a room. Now I slept in a chamber with sunlight pouring through wide windows every morning. I could see the sky, the trees dancing in the distance, and when I stepped close enough, I could even feel the warmth of the sun across my face. The mattress was still hard and the blanket scratchy, but compared to where I had been, it felt like another world.Why give me comfort now after keeping me in a place that felt like a cage?And in those quiet hou
▪️ Kaelis' Pov▪️I could not sleep all through the night I had spent here— I had spent it staring at the empty walls that surrounded me.I was moved into a chamber that was bare— the walls were cold and damp. A cot stood in the corner and the mattress had a hole in the middle. The blanket was rough and itchy against my skin and a small hole— wouldn’t be caught dead calling it a window. It wasn’t for ventilation… that was for sure. The room had no table or chair or anything that would have served as comfort.This was what they called a room for me but it felt not so different from the prison I had woken up in.I sucked my teeth when the thought of the king saying this was how they treated their guest rushed into me. “Guest, my ass,” I murmured, barely audible.I pressed my hand against my chest, trying to calm the wild thudding of my heart. I told myself to breathe slow, to stay calm, but it did not help as my body got tensed and restless, my hands shaking when I brought them togeth
▪️Kaelis' Pov▪️The stench of rot hit me first before I could open my eyes. I opened my eyes to thick darkness as the only source of light came from a little crack in the door.I tried to move my hand but it burned and was stretched above me. The ache spread down to my spine and my throat felt torn.I tried to swallow but the effort only scraped the inside of my throat. My tongue was dry and heavy as I parted my lips, hoping some sound would come but nothing left me.A groan escaped my throat-- coarse and broken like I had been screaming. Had I?I pulled once and hard but the chains did not budge instead the iron cut deeper into my skin until I had to stop. Where was I?How long had I been here?The question hit hard.I tried to search my mind, but when I reached for answers-- all I could find was emptiness-- a blank slate that should have harboured my memories but still nothing. I pressed harder as I tried to drag something or anything from the shadows.Nothing came.Still nothing
▪️ Kaelis' Pov▪️“Tonight has to be perfect,” I murmured, adjusting the last silver cup on the table.“Yes, milady,” my omega replied with a bright smile, her hands busy smoothing the table cloth we had spent hours fussing over.The room glowed with candlelight, and the scent of roasted steak and spiced wine filled the air. Every detail had been chosen carefully— his favourite meal, his favourite wine, even the crimson flowers arranged at the centre of the table. Five years of marriage deserved nothing less.My chest swelled with anticipation, a rare fluttering warmth. I could already imagine the look on Valrik’s face when he walked in: the surprise, the pride, maybe even that boyish smile he tried so hard to hide from others but always gave to me.It had not been easy, being his Luna. I had stood at his side through whispers, doubts, the endless judgement of the council, but together, we had silenced them. Together, we had made the Ashfang Pack stronger than it had been in years.I
The Luna’s body shook violently, her hands gripping the Alpha’s so tight her nails dug into his skin. Every breath she took was sharp, ragged, and trembling. He stood beside her, jaw tight, chest heavy, eyes scanning the shadows as if danger itself had already arrived.“We… we should have waited,” the Luna whispered, voice shaking. “What if… what if they are… right? Dangerous?”The Alpha’s hands tightened around hers. “They are ours. That is all that matters. We protect them. Whatever comes, we protect them.”Her eyes darted to him, wide, fearful. “We are enemies by blood, we should not have mixed. What have we done?”The midwife gasped, rushing forward. Before anyone could speak, the first cries shattered the den. The midwife lifted the first child— a boy into the air. Tiny chest heaving, skin pale and warm yet alive.The Luna pressed him to her chest, voice trembling. “K… Kael is safe,” she whispered. Relief pressed on her, fragile and fleeting.Before anyone could breathe, another
