Chapter 9 – The Forgotten Wolves

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-01 09:59:28

The woods beyond Berlin were nothing like the forests of Moonwatcher territory.

They were darker. Wilder. Untamed.

Racheal kept her hood up as she moved quietly through the trees. The map Jaxon had given her was worn now, creased and damp from her grip. The moon overhead was waning, but it still cast just enough light to guide her.

Every instinct screamed that she shouldn’t be here.

This was rogue land. Lawless. Abandoned. Claimed by no pack and feared by every council.

But she wasn’t just a Beta anymore. She was something else now—something unnameable. And she had to find out why the Moon had marked her twice.

The scent hit her before the voices did. Smoke. Wood. Wet fur.

Racheal slowed, crouching low. Through the brush, she spotted them—wolves. At least twenty. All gathered around a low-burning fire in a clearing surrounded by fallen stones. Some were older, hardened with scars and mistrust. Others were younger, with watchful eyes and twitching ears.

And there, standing in the cente

  • Mated Twice: A Wolf’s Dilemma   Chapter 97 – The Trial of Fire

    The morning sun had barely cleared the trees when Lucas dragged a log into the clearing behind the cabin and split it clean in half with one vicious strike of his clawed hand. The air vibrated with the impact. “Again,” he growled, tossing half the log toward Racheal. She caught it awkwardly, the wood scraping her palms. Damon shot him a glare. “She’s not ready for brute force yet.” Lucas sneered. “She doesn’t need coddling. She needs to know what it feels like when her strength actually answers her. Because when he comes back, there won’t be time for gentle lessons.” Racheal set the log upright. Her hands shook, but not from weakness—her pulse raced with the memory of the masked one’s touch, of the way his dark aura had brushed against her soul. She needed to bury that fear, not feed it. She raised her hand and let the bond threads unfurl inside her. Damon’s golden warmth, steady and controlled. Lucas’s crimson fire, hot and wild. Both pulsed through her veins, colliding like riv

    The cabin felt too small, too quiet. The moment the masked one’s presence faded into the dawn mist, the air seemed to collapse in on itself.Racheal sat frozen on the hearth, her hands pressed to her knees, staring into the fire that was burning low. Its warmth didn’t reach her.Damon knelt in front of her, worry written in every line of his face. “Racheal,” he said softly, reaching for her hand.She jerked away before she could stop herself. “Don’t,” she whispered.He froze, hurt flickering in his golden eyes. “I’m just trying to—”“I can still feel him,” she said sharply, her voice cracking. “Like a shadow under my skin. Like he left something behind.”Lucas paced like a caged wolf, his crimson aura a faint shimmer. “That’s exactly why we should hunt him now. End this before it’s too late.”“Or walk straight into whatever trap he’s laid for us?” Damon shot back, rising to his feet. “You saw how easily he moved through the wards. He’s expecting us to come after him.”Lucas spun to fa

  • Mated Twice: A Wolf’s Dilemma   Chapter 95 – The Bargain Before Blood

    The cabin door stood open, snow sweeping in with the early dawn breeze. Racheal stood in the center of the room, her wolf tense beneath her skin, her glowing hands curled into fists. Damon was at her left, golden light crackling faintly in his palms, while Lucas crouched low to the ground on her right, a predator ready to strike.The masked one appeared silently in the doorway, his black coat brushing the frame, his head tilted as though this were a casual visit and not the prelude to a hunt.“I must admit,” he said, his voice smooth as ever, “you’re full of surprises. Most would have fled by now. You… you stayed.”Racheal forced herself to meet his gaze. “You wanted me to stay.”His lips curved in a slow, amused smile. “Clever little wolf. Yes. I did. And now, here we are.”Lucas’s claws dug into the floor. “If you came here to talk, talk fast before I tear that mask off your face.”The masked one ignored him, his attention locked solely on Racheal. “You felt it last night, didn’t yo

  • Mated Twice: A Wolf’s Dilemma   Chapter 94 – Fractured Trust

    The cabin was silent except for the harsh sound of breathing. Smoke from the hearth curled lazily toward the ceiling, mingling with the acrid scent of burned magic. Racheal stood in the center of the room, her hands still faintly glowing, the aftershock of her power making her skin buzz.Damon was the first to break the silence. “He’s gone.” His voice was calm, but his golden aura still shimmered faintly, betraying the tension in his body.“He’s not gone,” Lucas said sharply, his crimson gaze fixed on the doorway. “He’s waiting. Listening. Playing with us.”Racheal swallowed hard. “He knew things about me—things I’ve never told anyone. How could he know that?”Damon turned toward her, his expression softening. “Racheal, he was lying—”“Was he?” Lucas cut in, stepping closer, his jaw tight. “Because it would explain a lot. Why the bonds feel so unstable. Why she keeps losing control when she tries to hold both. Maybe she really was bred for this.”Racheal flinched, her stomach twisting

  • Mated Twice: A Wolf’s Dilemma   Chapter 93 – The Mask Breaks

    The air inside the cabin thickened until it felt like breathing tar. Every movement, every sound was sharper, louder, as though the world itself was holding its breath.Lucas lunged again, his claws flashing as they struck against the hunter’s blade, the impact ringing like steel on steel. Sparks flew, illuminating his crimson aura. Damon flanked him, his golden light flaring brighter, forcing the masked one to twist and pivot to avoid being burned.And through it all, Racheal stood rooted, both bonds screaming inside her chest. The threads tangled together until they hummed with painful intensity.“Stop holding back,” the masked one hissed at her, his voice carrying over the clash of battle. He sidestepped Lucas’s next strike and kicked him hard in the chest, sending him crashing into the wall. “You think you can fight me with borrowed strength? You’re not theirs. You never were.”Racheal’s breath caught.“What are you talking about?” she shouted, her hands glowing more fiercely now.

  • Mated Twice: A Wolf’s Dilemma   Chapter 92 – The Night of the Snare

    The howl echoed through the forest, long and low, until it melted into the night air like smoke. It wasn’t just a sound—it was a message. A taunt.Racheal’s breath came fast as she stared at the door, her wolf stirring restlessly under her skin. The cabin walls suddenly felt too thin, too fragile, as though the hunter could slip through them at any moment.Lucas moved first, stalking toward the window and peering into the darkness. “He’s close,” he muttered. “Too close.”“Then we leave,” Damon said, his voice calm but urgent. “The wards are broken. This place won’t hold him off another hour.”“No,” Racheal said sharply. She rose to her feet despite her shaking legs, her jaw tight. “We’ve been running long enough. I’m done letting him control when and where this ends.”Lucas turned toward her, one dark brow arching. “You’re suggesting we stay here? In a half-broken cabin, with no wards, while he circles us like a wolf at a kill?”“Yes,” she said, meeting his stare. “Because he wants me
