Moon Goddess, I Choose a New Fate Chapter 20 A Different Kind of Alpha
KATNISSTrust wasn’t built in a single moment. It was built in all the little moments when someone chose not to hurt you.I sat on the wide stone balcony overlooking the misty pine forests of the Blackthorn estate, clutching a steaming mug of black coffee between my cold hands. The morning air was sharp and bitter, but it was nothing compared to the chaotic storm raging in my head.Damien would have used me by now, I thought bitterly, staring out at the rising sun filtering through the towering trees.In my previous life, Damien loved to play the role of the devoted, protective lover, but every single action he took was a calculated maneuver to strip me of my agency. He dictated what I wore, who I spoke to, and how I represented my pack. He treated my authority like a temporary inconvenience he’d absorb the second we swore our vows.Hassan was the exact opposite.The man was a terrifying, blood-soaked warlord who could drop an entire room of Alpha e

HASSANMy teeth were centimeters away from the soft skin of her neck.The sweet, intoxicating scent of her vanilla and wild berries was a violent poison in my veins. My inner wolf roared, thrashing against my ribs with a feral, terrifying demand.“Hassan?” Katniss whispered, her voice trembling slightly. Her silver-gray eyes locked onto mine, wide with a sudden, breathless confusion. She didn't pull away, but the sheer vulnerability in her posture was a cold bucket of water dumped straight onto my burning soul.Control, you fucking animal, I scolded myself fiercely, forcing my muscles to lock up.I clamped my jaw shut, my fangs scraping against the inside of my lip until I tasted the sharp metallic tang of my own blood. With a brutal exertion of sheer willpower, I dragged myself backward, breaking the suffocating contact.“You should go to your room,” I rumbled, my baritone unnaturally low, raspy, and completely stripped of composure.Katniss blinked
Moon Goddess, I Choose a New Fate Chapter 18 The Kiss That Meant Nothing
HASSANThe Maybach pulled up to the estate’s illuminated portico, but I didn't move.Katniss was still sound asleep against my chest, her soft, warm breath fanning against the skin of my collarbone. For two solid hours, I hadn't shifted a muscle. Every instinct I possessed screamed at me to protect her sleep, to keep the brutal realities of the world away from her for just a few more minutes."Alpha," Beta Kael whispered, opening the heavy car door with careful slowness, his amber eyes darting to the sleeping woman in my arms. "We have a problem.""Quiet," I rumbled in a deadly, low whisper, carefully slipping my arms beneath Katniss's knees and back. I lifted her effortlessly out of the leather interior, cradling her against my chest as I stepped into the cool night air. "What problem?""A delegation from the High Council arrived fifteen minutes ago," Kael murmured, walking briskly beside me as I carried her through the private side entrance. "Elders Vance and Marrok. They saw the
Moon Goddess, I Choose a New Fate Chapter 17 My Alpha
HASSANThe smoke had barely cleared from the marble floor before my instincts took total control.I stood in the center of the ruined ballroom, my massive frame shielding Katniss completely behind me. The shattered crystal and silver fragments of the chandelier lay scattered across the polished floor, reflecting the harsh light of the hall. The nobles were still screaming, scrambling toward the exits like terrified sheep, but I didn't care about the panic.I cared about the coward who dared to throw a blade into my shadow."Hassan," Katniss whispered behind me, her small hand reaching out to touch the heavy fabric of my jacket. Her voice trembled slightly, though she fought fiercely to hide it. "Hassan, look at me."I didn't turn around. My eyes were glowing a bright, predatory gold, my inner wolf snarling behind my ribs, demanding blood."Stay behind me, Katniss," I growled, my deep baritone carrying a lethal, suffocating power that instantly silenced the trembling nobles nearby.Ac
Moon Goddess, I Choose a New Fate Chapter 16 One Dance Too Close
KATNISS"I don't dance," I muttered under my breath, my hand tightening on Hassan’s sleeve as we stood near the edge of the polished marble floor.The grand ballroom of the Northern Ridge Summit was suffocatingly bright.Crystal chandeliers hung low, casting a sharp, golden glow over the crowded floor. Music swelled from the orchestra, a slow, elegant waltz that pulsed through the room like a heavy heartbeat.Hassan down at me, his dark gray eyes unreadable, though a faint, wicked tilt touched the corner of his jaw. "You signed a contract to be my Luna, Katniss. You think Lunas just stand in the corner looking lethal?""I'd prefer that, yes," I shot back, my silver eyes flashing. "Preferably with a knife.""Too bad," he rumbled softly.Before I could protest, his large, warm hand slipped around my waist, pulling me firmly against him. My breath hitched instantly. The sudden, overwhelming heat radiating from his massive frame hit me like a physical wall, sending a chaotic tremor stra
Moon Goddess, I Choose a New Fate Chapter 15 The Alpha They Never Knew
HASSANI have spent my entire life being the monster under the bed so my people could sleep in peace.The towering crystal chandeliers of the Summit Hall cast long, sharp shadows across the marble floor. Around us, dozens of high-ranking Alphas and territorial leaders stood in clustered circles, sipping blood-red wine and whispering behind gold-embossed masks. To them, I was Hassan Blackthorn: the cold-blooded Shadow King, the ruthless warlord who swallowed eastern territories whole.They thought I accepted Katniss Ashbourne's contract out of sheer, opportunistic greed. They thought I saw a fractured heiress with a silent wolf and decided to steal her father's land before Damien Ravenscar could claim it.They didn't know a damn thing."Alpha Hassan," Beta Kael muttered, stepping up to my right side, his amber eyes scanning the perimeter with a lethal, hyper-vigilant focus. "Ravenscar just entered through the south foyer with the Nightvale girl. He’s already making eyes at the Counci
