Chapter Thirty: The Lost Fragments

Author: Penelope Blue
last update Last Updated: 2025-12-05 23:27:13

The library was quiet, so quiet, it was almost unsettling. Elena heard every page turn from every corner. There were only a handful of wolves in the room, but she could easily tell where each one was located by how easily the sound of their breathing carried in the silence.

Gail turned a page, drawing Elena's attention back to the table. They'd been here for hours, and so far, all they'd managed to find was vague references to a "Two-Moon Child" and others to an "Alpha of Alphas," but none were very clear on who this person was or if it was even the same individual. In fact, none made it very apparent whether they should be looking for a male or female saviour.

"Gail, this is ridiculous. We're never going to find anything. Most of these books are damaged beyond recognition, leaving us with just a few arcane words to go by." Elena closed her book with a huff. "I know my mother expected it to be me, but I really feel like everything is pointing toward Roland. I mean, come on... the Alp

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Forty: What Her Mother Hid

    After another sleepless night, Elena decided it was time to learn more about her mother and her own abilities. Moonlight poured across the cushions—nearly full, silver-bright, almost watchful. She drew Maria’s Book of Shadows into her lap and traced the familiar leather cover with trembling fingers. The first few pages were simple spells and rituals Maria must have learned when she first started. She ran her finger down a page with her family tree. It outlined all the witches before her mother, tracing them back for centuries, listing their special abilities and strengths. But the moment she turned the page, the air changed.The parchment resisted her, stiffening beneath her fingertips. The ink wavered, rippling like she was looking through heat. Lines blurred, folded inward, and dissolved into unreadable shadow.“What…?” Elena whispered.She flipped to the next page. Same reaction. Words pulsed out of focus, almost shrinking from her. Another page — the ink recoiled entirely, as th

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Signal in the Dark

    Elena sat in the window seat, looking up at the crescent moon, while Damien lightly snored in the bed. She couldn't sleep no matter how much she tried. Her mind kept returning to the cave. Her thoughts were filled with Ryan and how close he came to breaking. Inside, Lyra was restless and pacing. She rehashed the final chaotic events with Ryan in the cave over and over again. That moment when she spoke the single word, "Enough," replayed continuously. She didn't understand what happened.Whatever had a grip on Ryan in the caves did not leave untouched. You did not reach out with your voice. You were answered. Lyra was the voice of reason in her turmoil-filled mind. "What do you mean?" Elena asked.Well, we can give it a name now. Peter or the corruption had taken hold of Ryan's mind. When you accidentally used your Alpha Command, it didn't just command Ryan. It made you light up like a torch in the night. And Peter took notice. He's waiting for the right moment. Like he's cultivating

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Aftershock

    Once they had Elena back behind the walls of the manor, Gail and Damien wrapped her in blankets and secured her in his rooms. They all sat in the sitting room in tense silence. Lucien continued to pace beneath Damien's skin, agitated and angry. He wanted retribution for what happened to his mate.Elena took a shaky breath. It still felt strange to be outside the wards. Breathing even seemed different to her. It was freer, less oppressed, and more in her own control. The silence in the room was weighing on her. When she could no longer take it, she finally spoke. "That thing with Ryan…it wasn’t him."Neither Gail nor Damien argued with her. After a few seconds, Gail cleared her throat and said, "Those wards weren’t made by wolves. They are an ancient type of magic rarely used today. They are designed to block spirits, guides, and outside interference."She paused while they digested that information, concern rising on their faces. As they waited for her to continue, Esther appeared in

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Thirty-Seven: Beyond the Scent

    Elena sat quietly in the oppressive silence left by Ryan's absence. Her heart was still pounding from the strange encounter. The Rogue Alpha was unraveling fast. All around her, the air felt tight, almost as if it were holding its breath. Her wolf stirred uneasily. Lyra felt an unnatural hunger rising around them. It didn't feel like Ryan. It was something else. Something darker, more unnatural. It had patience and wasn't afraid to wait.Then, it all became clear. Ryan left because he was scared. Suddenly, his shout filled the cave, startling Elena and Lyra to the core.***"NO! Get out of my head!" Ryan screamed, grabbing his hair. The whisper was unrelenting. You don't leave her yet.His physical response was immediate. Weakness overcame him, and his dominance was sapped. His strength was deliberately and slowly drained from him.It was all becoming clear to him. This wasn't guidance as was promised. This was pure control. To even come close to having an appearance of autonomy, he

    Ryan sagged against the cave wall, breathing hard. The air around him was suddenly freezing, and each ragged breath released a small cloud of fog that rose in front of him. All around him, the walls were closing in as the whisper coiled through his skull like wisps of smoke. "Choose your side..."Ryan squeezed his eyes shut and fisted his hair with both hands. No, he would not bend. He didn't need help. He didn't need her power, the seers, or that mysterious voice in the dark that felt like old magic and an even older hunger. No matter how much he tried to deny it, one truth kept returning to the surface: Elena had almost commanded him.The memory of her voice shook him to the core. Even now, it made his heart crash painfully against his ribs. He had definitely felt something—an almost instinctive dip in his strength. He was pulled toward her voice in a way that should have been impossible. Ryan ran a shaky hand over his face and sucked in a shaking breath. He felt his control slippi

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter Thirty-Five: The Wolf Who Cannot Kneel

    Ryan frantically searched the shadows but found no one. The words repeated in his head, "Your salvation." He didn't need a saviour. He definitely didn't need any help. Help certainly didn't get him Elena. Mona was a loose cannon who almost cost him everything. No...he didn't need this mysterious voice meddling in his affairs.His thoughts kept drifting back to that brief moment when his control slipped, and Elena had all the power. She controlled me. Even if it were just for a moment...she actually controlled me. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. His anger bubbled to the surface, and rage spilled over the top. He slammed his fist into the wall, bruising and tearing the flesh. The shadows around him flickered, almost as if in reaction to his outburst.***A few hours later, Elena was resting, half-dozing in her pile of blankets, when a thought rocked her to the core. She commanded Ryan, which meant her powers weren't fully shut down by the wards. Lyra was suppressed, but she wa
