The next morning, the entire household was at the warrior training grounds. Elena was a little overwhelmed that so many people showed up. She wondered how many were there to see what they believed was her inevitable failure.

Elena stepped onto the training platform, wearing a black, skintight training suit. The material was spandex and stretched as she moved. Her shoes were simple white sneakers.

Mona, on the other hand, aimed to be a showstopper. She had a bright red training suit on with ora

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Eighty-Six: Echoes of the Broken

    Ryan remained on one knee long after anyone expected him to stand. The silence in the chamber stretched, not from shock anymore, but from the understanding that something impossible had just happened. The Rogue Alpha who had spent years rejecting the authority of every pack leader alive had freely offered his loyalty to Elena. And he did it through choice. Somehow, that made the moment even more powerful.Elena stared at him, unsure what she was supposed to do next. Nothing in her life had prepared her for this. A few months ago, she was waiting tables at her aunt’s restaurant while the entire pack whispered about the wolfless Alpha daughter who would never become anything. Now Ryan Mercer was kneeling before her.“Please stand,” she finally said.Ryan lifted his gaze to hers, and for a moment, she saw a flicker of surprise. “You don’t accept?”Elena frowned. “Accept what?”“My oath.”She looked around the room, hoping someone would jump in and explain the proper protocol for somethin

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Eighty-Five: The Wolf Who Chose

    The silence after the corruption disappeared was almost worse than the chaos. For several seconds, no one moved. No one trusted what they were seeing. The chamber that had been moments away from collapse now stood perfectly still, the wards slowly fading back into their steady rhythm.Elena remained exactly where she was, her hand still wrapped around Ryan’s. She was afraid to let go, afraid that if she moved too quickly, the nightmare would somehow begin all over again, but nothing came back. The darkness was gone.Ryan Mercer, the Rogue Alpha who had brought entire packs to their knees, the wolf no Alpha could control, was unconscious on the stone floor in front of her. And for the first time since anyone in that room had known him, he looked peaceful.“Elena.” Damien’s voice pulled her back to herself.She looked over her shoulder to find him already stepping through the open seal. Gail must have dropped the barrier completely, but Elena hadn’t even noticed. Damien knelt beside her

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Eighty-Four: The Breaking Point

    The chamber shook hard enough to send dust raining from the ceiling, but Elena barely noticed. Her focus remained locked on Ryan as the wards surged brighter around him, layer after layer igniting in violent pulses.The corruption moved beneath his skin like something alive and furious, twisting around the silver light that still flickered faintly beneath the surface. He was fighting it—not perfectly and certainly not winning, but fighting nonetheless.“Elena, step back!” Roland ordered.She didn’t move. Ryan’s body jerked violently again, one hand slamming against the stone floor to keep himself upright. A low, distorted growl ripped from his throat, but it kept breaking apart midway through, interrupted by harsh, ragged breaths.“It’s trying to separate him from whatever you left behind,” Gail said over the roar of the wards.Elena looked at her sharply. “Left behind?”Gail’s eyes never left Ryan. “Your resonance. When you held against him before, part of your influence anchored ins

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Eighty-Three: What the Corruption Fears

    The chamber remained sealed long after Ryan disappeared. No one rushed to open the door. No one spoke above a whisper. The air still carried the lingering pressure of corruption, faint but unmistakable, like smoke trapped in old stone.Elena sat on the edge of one of the lower steps while Gail inspected the ward anchors for stress fractures. Damien refused to move farther than arm’s reach from her, though he tried not to make it obvious.Roland stood near the center of the chamber with his arms crossed, silent and deeply focused. Elena had noticed that about him over the past few weeks. He became quieter the more dangerous things became. Finally, Gail exhaled slowly and stepped back from the final ward point.“They held,” she said.“Barely?” Damien guessed.Gail gave him a tired look. “You’re getting better at reading magical disasters.”“That doesn’t sound reassuring either.”“It shouldn’t.”Elena rubbed her hands together slowly, trying to shake the lingering feeling from her skin.

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Eighty-Two: The Lower Boundary Chamber

    The lower boundary chamber had never been meant for comfort. It had been carved into the oldest part of the manor, deep enough that the air carried the damp chill of stone untouched by sunlight. The room was circular, like most of the ancient spaces beneath Eldermoon, but there was nothing ceremonial about this one. It felt practical. Purposeful. Built for moments no one wanted to face, but someone had been wise enough to prepare for.Elena stood just inside the doorway, watching as Gail moved between ward points with focused precision. Several guards carried in iron posts etched with old runes and secured them around the inner ring. Others dragged heavy chains from storage, not because anyone believed chains would hold Ryan Mercer if the wards failed, but because every layer mattered now.No one said that aloud. They didn’t need to.Roland stood near the center of the chamber, speaking quietly with Micah. His voice was low, but every order landed with exact force. Guard placements. E

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Eighty-One: The Space Between

    No one moved for several seconds after Ryan disappeared beyond the tree line. The garden looked exactly as it had moments before. The wards had settled back into their steady rhythm, and the sunlight still filtered through the leaves as if nothing had happened. To anyone who hadn’t felt it, the space would have appeared untouched. But Elena could still sense the disruption lingering beneath the surface, like a memory the land hadn’t quite released.“Elena,” Roland said, his voice calm but firm. “Inside. Now.”She didn’t argue. There was nothing to argue about. Damien stayed close as they made their way back to the manor. He didn’t touch her this time, but his presence was unmistakable, his attention fixed on her in a way that made it clear he was still processing what he had seen. Elena didn’t try to explain anything yet. She wasn’t entirely sure she could.Roland didn’t take them to the council room. Instead, he led them down into the reinforced chamber beneath the manor. The wards we

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Command Heard Round the Pack

    Elena looked around her as she realized everyone was staring. She knew what an Alpha Command was because she had seen Roland use it on his pack. How could she have possibly commanded someone—especially someone who had taken an oath to follow another?Kevin remained frozen, but a look of embarrassme

    Elena woke up cranky. She didn't sleep well. No matter what she did, the bed was incredibly uncomfortable. She watched the shadows dance on the walls while she thought about the Alpha Command. It was a strange feeling, almost like an otherworldly power rising up inside her. Elena had never experien

    Everyone in the manor was on edge. Friends were bickering, and tempers were flaring. If they didn't find a solution soon, the entire pack would come crumbling down. Elena watched one wolf check the same window three times. She couldn't tell if he was paranoid or going stir crazy. Even Roland, the

    Roland gathered everyone in the War Room. This time, Elena and Gail were included. The Alpha King looked somber as he said, "It's time you all know the story of why Ryan Mercer was expelled from the Crimson Moon Pack."Elena and Gail squeezed each other's hands for comfort. This would surely not be
