Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Decoy
Roland wasted very little time putting his plan into motion. Before anyone left the council room, he summoned several of his senior warriors and quietly divided them into two groups. One would leave the manor within the hour and ride directly for the Ash River Pack. The other would remain behind, with no one outside the manor knowing they were still there.Elena stood near the map while Roland explained the assignments. She admired how calm he remained even with so many moving pieces. There was no panic in his voice and no hint of uncertainty. He spoke with the confidence of someone who had spent a lifetime making difficult decisions, and every wolf in the room seemed to draw strength from it.“I want the departure to be obvious,” Roland instructed. “Take marked vehicles, wear your formal patrol jackets, and leave through the main gate. If someone is watching this manor—and I believe they are—I want them to think we’ve committed a significant portion of our forces to Ash River.”One o
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter Ninety-Six: The First Domino
The council room remained quiet for several moments after Roland finished speaking. Elena found herself replaying his words over and over in her mind.Peter doesn’t build monsters. He finds wounded people and teaches them to believe their wounds define them.The more she thought about it, the more every piece of the puzzle seemed to fall into place. Ryan had carried bitterness long before Peter found him. James had spent years quietly convincing himself that Marcus valued everyone else more than his own Beta. Even she had almost let Peter convince her that her mother’s binding had been an act of betrayal instead of love.Peter never created the wound. He simply made sure it never healed.“So where does that leave us?” Damien finally asked, breaking the silence. “James has already made his move. Every hour we wait gives him more time to spread that speech to the other packs.”Roland remained standing by the window overlooking the courtyard. Several guards crossed below as they changed
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter Ninety-Five: The Cracks He Finds
Roland’s words settled over the room like a weight no one knew how to lift.He knows Marcus cannot defend himself.Elena lowered her eyes to the table. The anger she’d expected never came. Instead, all she felt was sadness. James hadn’t challenged her strength. He hadn’t questioned her power. He had gone after the one person who could never stand before the pack and answer him.She remembered sitting on her father’s shoulders during the summer festivals while he pointed out constellations she was too young to understand. She remembered falling asleep against his chest after long pack meetings because she’d insisted on staying awake until he came home. Marcus had always smelled like pine and cedar after patrols, and no matter how tired he was, he always made time to tuck her into bed.James remembered those moments, too. He had been there. That realization hurt almost as much as the speech itself.“I don’t understand,” Elena admitted quietly. “If James hated my father this much, why di
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter Ninety-Four: Rumors Became War
The manor slowly returned to its usual rhythm after the last family departed that afternoon, but Elena couldn’t shake the heaviness that had settled over her heart. She found herself replaying every conversation she’d had that day, especially the look on Rebecca’s face when she unfolded Ethan’s missing-person flyer. There had been hope in her eyes, but there had also been years of grief that no parent should ever have to carry.Elena wandered into the library hoping a familiar book might distract her, but she never made it farther than the large windows overlooking the gardens. The flowers swayed gently in the breeze, and for a brief moment, the estate almost looked like it had before the prophecy, before Peter, and before corruption had consumed so many lives. She knew that version of the manor had never truly existed, but she missed it anyway. She heard footsteps behind her and smiled before she even turned around.“I wondered where you disappeared to,” Damien said as he joined her
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter Ninety-Three: The Ones Left Behind
Elena hardly slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the line of cars stretching down the manor’s driveway. She pictured the little girl leaning against her mother’s SUV, the elderly couple sitting quietly beneath the shade of a tree, and the worried expressions on faces that had clearly carried the same grief for years.By the time dawn broke, she gave up on sleep altogether. She pulled on a pair of jeans and one of Damien’s hoodies that had somehow found its way into her room and slipped barefoot over to the bedroom window.The line had grown. More vehicles had arrived overnight. Pickup trucks, family SUVs, compact cars with children’s toys still visible in the back seats, even an old station wagon that looked like it had traveled hundreds of miles to get there. Some people had climbed out to stretch their legs while others remained inside, trying to catch a little more sleep before the day truly began.No one argued with the guards. No one tried to force their way through th
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter Ninety-Two: Those Who Still Wait
The council chamber was unusually quiet by the time Elena arrived. Roland stood at the head of the long table with several opened letters spread neatly in front of him. Damien had already taken his place beside his father, while Gail and Esther sat together reviewing a map that covered nearly half the table. Ryan lingered near one of the windows, arms folded across his chest, his attention fixed on the courtyard below.No one looked particularly surprised to see Elena enter. They simply looked tired. Roland motioned for her to join them. “I’m glad you’re here. We were waiting for you.”Elena took the empty chair beside Damien and glanced at the collection of letters. Every one of them carried a different crest. “Are those all from the other packs?” she asked.Roland nodded. “They arrived within the last two hours.”She frowned. “That’s…fast.”“It is,” Damien agreed. “Word is spreading much faster than we anticipated.”Elena picked up the nearest letter and carefully unfolded it. It wa
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter Fifty: When the Dark Reaches Back
Elena couldn't sleep. She lay as still as possible next to Damien, trying not to disturb his slumber. The manor walls creaked quietly around her as the night cooled. She heard the slow, gentle thud of a guard's boots as they passed on rotation. Everything sounded completely normal. In fact, it was

No one spoke on the way back to the main floor of the manor. Everyone kept quiet for the same reason—they were afraid the walls would remember anything they said. Even worse, they feared the stone would respond. Roland led the group, lantern held high. Damien walked closely to Elena, keeping one ha

For a minute, everything stood still, and Elena couldn't breathe. The weight of the wolf's words pressed on her. Suddenly, Roland swore in horror, shaking Elena free from her thoughts. Gail’s face had gone pale. “He felt your command,” she whispered. “All the way down here. Through layers of wards

For a heartbeat, no one moved or said anything after the warrior's bombshell. His words hung in the air between everyone like smoke. Roland recovered first, his eyes sharpening in a way Elena had only ever seen when he was readying for a fight."Where?" He asked with calm Alpha authority."In the o
