last update Last Updated: 2025-03-07 02:01:31

Phoebe’s POV

The chaos was dead and Elizabeth and Alexander had been put in their rooms under heavy watch.

Nathaniel didn't let me just go to the room and sleep. He said he wanted to take me to his escape so I could have a good time, away from the troubles. It hadn't even helped that Elizabeth and kAlexander now hated me more than anything

It felt different here, away from the packhouse, away from the weight of everything that had happened.

But despite the silence, my mind refused to rest.

I lay beside Nathaniel, our bodies pressed close, his warmth seeping into me. It should have been comforting—it was comforting—but it wasn’t enough to quiet the thoughts spinning in my head.

Everything had changed so quickly.

The battle. The betrayal.

Elizabeth and Alexander’s hatred for me had been simmering for a long time, but now it burned hotter than ever. And I knew—it wasn’t over. Not really. They would never forgive me for exposing them.

A shiver ran through me, even though I wasn’t cold.

    Phoebe’s POVThe sky was still dark when we returned to the packhouse. The cool air clung to my skin as I stepped inside, my body heavy with exhaustion. The weight of the night still pressed on me, but a strange sense of peace followed.Nathaniel walked beside me, his presence steady. He hadn’t let go of my hand since we left the woods, and even now, his grip was warm, grounding.When we reached the door of his chambers, I hesitated. My fingers curled slightly against his. “Nathaniel…”He turned to me, eyes searching. “What is it?”I glanced down, suddenly uncertain. “Maybe I should go to my own room.”Nathaniel didn’t let me pull away. Instead, he cupped my face, his thumb brushing over my cheek. “Stay,” he murmured.It wasn’t a demand. It wasn’t even a request. It was a quiet promise—one I didn’t have the strength to deny.I nodded.Nathaniel led me inside, closing the door behind us. The room was dimly lit, the air warm and familiar. I had been here before, but never like this. Nev

    Phoebe’s POVI sat on the edge of my bed, gripping my phone tightly. I had been staring at the screen for a while, debating what to do. My uncle was still in the hospital, recovering, and even though Nathaniel had told me not to worry, I couldn’t help it. He had handled everything, from the medical bills, getting the best doctors and the best care—but I needed to see for myself that my uncle was okay.I took a deep breath and scrolled through my contacts until I found the name I was looking for.Mark.I hesitated for a second before pressing the call button. The phone rang a few times before he finally answered.“Phoebe?” His voice sounded uncertain, as if he hadn’t expected me to call.“Hey,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “I want to visit Uncle. Are you free?”There was a pause. “You want to go today?”“Yes.”Another pause. Then, “Alright. I’ll meet you there.”I exhaled, relieved. “Thanks.”After ending the call, I got up, grabbed my coat, and stepped out of my room. Natha

    Nathaniel’s POVI sat in my office, staring at the stack of reports spread across my desk. The papers detailed everything from patrol schedules to supply inventories. I had been going over them for the last hour, but my focus kept slipping.The recent invasion had left some damage, but we were recovering. Duncan’s forces had been dealt with, and the borders were secure again. That wasn’t what was weighing on my mind.Alexander was.Even after everything, he still hadn’t given up his claim to the Alpha position. He had no right to it, not while my father was still alive and certainly not while I was the one handling pack affairs. But Alexander didn’t see it that way.I sighed and leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples. The constant power struggle was draining, and I didn’t have time for it.Before I could push the thought aside, my phone vibrated on the desk. I glanced at the screen. A message from my father.We need to meet in my office. Now.I stared at the words for a second be

    Nathaniel’s POVI sat in my office, A large map lay spread before me, its worn edges curling slightly, but I wasn’t really looking at it anymore.My father’s words echoed in my head.Fix it.I leaned back, exhaling slowly. The Moonfury Pack had been a crucial ally for years. Losing their support wouldn’t just weaken us in numbers—it would send a message. One that said ForestHowl was vulnerable. One that invited others to question our strength. With Alexander already scheming and the recent attack still fresh in everyone’s mind, the last thing we needed was for Tommen to turn his back on us.But that was exactly what was happening.And I knew why.Shirleen.She had wanted the match. She had counted on it. I still remembered the way she had looked at me, her certainty so strong it had felt suffocating. To her, our futures had already been written. When my father arranged the match, she had been eager. Excited. Ready to claim what she thought was hers.But I had rejected her.For Phoebe

  • Mated To The Enemy Alpha   Chapter 39

    Phoebe's POV The quiet of the night settled over the packhouse, broken only by the occasional rustling of leaves outside. The day had been long, filled with training, whispered conversations, and quiet moments of reflection. But no matter how much I tried to distract myself, my mind kept returning to Nathaniel.Something about the way he had looked at me earlier—tense, unreadable—had settled into my bones, making it impossible to find peace.I pulled my blanket tighter around my shoulders and leaned against the wooden frame of my chair, staring at the flickering candlelight. The warm glow barely reached the edges of the room. Tonight, I was alone in my room. Sleep should have come easily after such an exhausting day, but my thoughts wouldn’t let me rest.And then, I heard it.Heavy footsteps.Slow but deliberate.I froze, every muscle in my body going still.The pack had already settled in for the night. The only ones who should be walking these halls were the guards, but even they

    Phoebe’s POVThe room felt strangely quiet after Alexander left. His words still echoed in my mind, making it impossible to shake off the uneasy feeling settling in my chest. The way he had looked at me, so sure of himself, made my skin crawl.I took a deep breath, pressing my back against the closed door. My fingers still gripped the handle, as if expecting him to suddenly return. But the hallway was empty now.I knew I should try to sleep, but rest felt impossible. My thoughts were tangled with too many questions. How had he managed to get out so easily? What was he planning? And more than anything—why did he want me by his side?I pushed away from the door and moved toward the small table near my bed, where a flickering candle cast a soft glow over the room. I sat down, rubbing my arms absentmindedly.Then, another knock.This one was different—firm but not forceful. A familiar sound.Nathaniel.I swallowed, forcing my expression into something neutral before standing to open the d

    THE GLASSFUR PACK Alpha Duncan’s POVThe hall was quiet except for the low voices between Antonio and me. The long wooden table stretched between us, covered with reports on patrol shifts, border tensions, and disputes that had come up in the last week. The candles on the walls flickered, casting a warm glow over the polished stone floor.Antonio leaned forward, tapping one of the reports. “The western patrol reported movement near the old border. They weren’t able to identify who it was, but they noticed signs of someone passing through the area.”I exhaled and set the paper down. “Rogues?”“Possibly. Or someone testing our defenses,” Antonio said. “Whoever it was, they didn’t stay long.”“Double the guards at night,” I ordered. “If anyone tries to cross, they don’t leave unchallenged.”Antonio nodded, making a note on the parchment in front of him. “I’ll inform the patrol leaders.”Before he could say anything else, the heavy doors swung open. The sound echoed through the hall, br

    Alpha Duncan’s POVI liked to have those evening strolls around the pack house. In the past, it was Phoebe who went everywhere with me, trailed by my beta. But now, I only went around in the company of my beta, Antonio. He was a loyal one, and he gave me the most useful advice, but nothing could come close to the time when I had her by my side. She was everything one needed to run a pack. She was a voice that came constantly with wisdom.Antonio and I walked through the heart of the Glassfur pack, our boots moving in steady rhythm over the stone pathways. The scent of burning torches mixed with the damp earth, and the occasional flicker of firelight served as the only lighting for the walls. Warriors stood at their posts, their sharp eyes tracking our movements, their presence a quiet reminder of the strength I had built here.Yet, despite all I had, I could not silence the thought gnawing at me.Antonio didn’t speak, but I could feel him waiting. He did less talking and more listenin

    Duncan's POVThe light filtering through the curtains barely reached my bed, and the faint, cold touch of morning was already creeping across my skin. My head felt like it was being crushed between two stone walls, the weight of the previous night pressing on me. I groaned, feeling the ache in my skull, the headache so sharp I could barely open my eyes. Slowly, I dragged myself into a sitting position, trying to fight the dizziness that swept over me.The events of last night were still a blur, a combination of frustration, too much alcohol, and anger that I couldn’t seem to shake. Antonio and Stephanie were still nowhere to be found, and the pressure of not knowing where they were or what they were doing felt like a constant weight in my chest.A soft sound caught my attention. I glanced to the side, my eyes finally opening to see the servant girl standing by the door, a tray in her hands. She didn’t say anything, just silently approached me, setting the tray down on the small table

  • Mated To The Enemy Alpha   Chapter 123

    Duncan's POVThe day had stretched long, and the news that came from my warriors only made the time feel heavier. No sign of Antonio. No word of Stephanie. I had expected a different report, maybe even a break in the hunt, but what I got was frustration. Over and over, I heard the same thing: “Nothing yet, Alpha.” It was enough to make my blood boil, but I couldn’t show it. Not yet. I had to keep my calm, had to pretend that it was all still under control.I paced the length of my chambers, my mind working through each possibility, each route they could have taken. Had they gone east? South? Were they hiding under my nose? Nothing made sense, and with every moment that passed, the anger inside me grew.One of my warriors dared to speak up. His voice had a tremor in it, like he knew he was treading on dangerous ground. “Alpha,” he began cautiously. “Perhaps we need better informants. Someone who knows Antonio's habits, his movements. Someone who might know where he’s hiding.”I didn’t

  • Mated To The Enemy Alpha   Chapter 122

    Nathaniel’s POVThe wheels of our vehicles crunched against the uneven ground as we pushed deeper into the neutral territories. The air felt heavier with each passing mile, thick with tension. I had hoped we’d be able to find Alexander by now, but the farther we traveled, the more uncertain the trail became. Every stop we made, we questioned locals and travelers, but the answers we got were always mixed, sometimes contradictory.“Did you see anyone who fits this description?” I asked a man who was sitting near the side of the road, sharpening a blade.He glanced at the sketch in my hand and shook his head. “Can’t say I’ve seen anyone like that. But there’s a lot of strangers passing through these parts.”I thanked him and turned to the others. “Let’s keep moving. We’re not getting any closer here.”We continued on, the air growing drier and the landscape more barren as we ventured into the heart of these lawless lands. I could feel the weight of the mission pressing on me. This wasn’t

    Nathaniel’s POVThe night was quiet, but I was not resting. I sat near the fire, watching the flames move. They made soft popping sounds as the wood burned. My men were nearby. Some were sitting like me, others were checking supplies. No one was speaking much. We were waiting.Then I heard footsteps. One of my scouts walked toward me. He looked serious, not rushed, but I could tell he had something important to say. He stopped a few steps away from me and gave a small nod.“We got something,” he said. His voice was low. He looked around once before speaking again. “It’s from our contact. The one in the west neutral zone.”I stood up slowly. “What did they say?”He pulled a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me. I took it and opened it with both hands. The words were written in short lines. I read each one carefully, not skipping anything.“Alexander was seen. Not far from the southern ridge. Traveling through the neutral zone. He has a woman and a man with him.”I

    Phoebe’s POVWhen I got back to my room, the door creaked a little as I pushed it open. I stepped inside and closed it behind me, turning the lock without thinking. The room was quiet. I could hear a soft hum coming from outside, maybe the wind or some insects still moving around.I stood still for a few seconds, looking around. Everything was just the way I had left it—my bed neatly made, the blankets smooth, the pillow resting where it always did. My boots were near the wall. A glass of water sat untouched on the table beside the bed.I walked over to the bed and sat down slowly. My hands rested on my knees. I looked down at the floor, at the way the wood had little lines and marks from years of use. I had been hoping to rest, maybe even sleep for a bit, but my body didn’t feel tired. My eyes were open wide, and my mind wouldn’t stop moving.The words Kara had said kept playing in my head like they were on a loop. Duncan wasn’t the same. He was getting worse. People were afraid of h

    Phoebe’s POVKara and I had another walk when she talked and I listened.As I followed, Kara glanced back at me, then looked forward again. She didn’t smile or frown. Her face was still. We moved toward the trees at the edge of the camp. A few steps more, and we were out of sight from everyone. No guards, no other pack members. Just us.“Is this far enough?” she asked, stopping near a small patch of grass. A few flat stones were nearby.I looked around, then gave a short nod. “Yeah. This is fine.”She sat down first, brushing leaves away from the rock before resting on it. I stayed standing for a moment longer, unsure. I didn’t feel that tightness in my chest like I usually did when she was near. My hands weren’t curled into fists. My thoughts weren’t racing. I slowly sat down on a rock across from her. It was cool and smooth under me.“I didn’t think you’d agree to this,” she said after a long pause. Her voice was low and even.“I almost didn’t,” I replied. “But I guess I’m tired of

    Phoebe's POV I stood outside Alpha Darius’s office, my hands by my sides. The hallway was quiet, but my thoughts were not. Someone had come to find me a few minutes earlier, saying the old Alpha wanted to see me. No explanation, no message, just a request to come now. After everything that happened during the attack, I wasn’t sure what this meeting would be about.I knocked once, firm and clear.“Come in,” came his voice from inside, steady as always.I pushed the door open and stepped in.Alpha Darius was standing behind his desk. His face, strong with age but still sharp, looked directly at me. His hair had more grey in it than before, but nothing about him had softened. He didn’t sit down. He stood tall, his arms resting on the desk, like he had been waiting.“Phoebe,” he said, his tone calm.I gave a short nod. “Alpha Darius.”He gestured for me to come closer. “You did well.”I blinked. “Sir?”“During the attack,” he said, folding his arms, “you kept things steady. You helped th

    Duncan's POV I couldn’t sit still. I had to move, had to find the answers. The weight of everything pressing down on me was unbearable. Antonio, Stephanie, the sorceress—everything felt like a lie. I needed to confront the source of it all, and for that, I had to find the sorceress.She had been the one who planted the seed in my mind. She had been the one to tell me about Phoebe’s importance. And now, after everything I overheard, I couldn’t let it go. I had to know the truth.I stormed out of my office and made my way through the pack house with hurried steps. The hallway stretched ahead, but nothing felt as familiar anymore. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how little I actually knew. How easily I had been manipulated.I reached the stables quickly, where my horse was kept. I didn’t need anyone’s help; I didn’t care for the usual formalities. I grabbed the reins and mounted with swift movements, the saddle creaking under me. My heart burned with frustration and ang

    Duncan's POV The hallways of my estate were quiet as I walked through them, the silence pressing in around me. I had not slept much since the confrontation with Antonio. Too many thoughts ran through my mind.I paced slowly, my mind still locked on Phoebe. The anger, the determination, they felt as sharp as ever. But there was also something else creeping into my mind now: doubt.What if Antonio was right? What if I was letting my emotions cloud my judgment?The thought was maddening. The whole reason I kept pushing forward was for Phoebe. She was my focus, my everything. Without her, nothing mattered.I reached the end of the hall and paused, hearing a low murmur coming from a nearby room. It was coming from Antonio’s office.Curious, I stepped closer, listening carefully.It wasn’t long before I realized the voices were of Antonio and Stephanie. They were speaking in hushed tones, too low for me to understand fully.I paused, just out of sight, and pressed myself against the stone
