The Great Assembly Hall of the Moonrise Pack stretched before Aria like an overwhelming chasm. Usually reserved for pack-wide pronouncements or celebrations, its vaulted ceiling towered above, supported by massive, rough-hewn timbers that had stood for centuries. Sunlight, fractured into dusty beams by high windows, illuminated the dense crowd packed onto tiered benches, their collective presence a weight in the air. Every face was turned toward the central dais where the elders sat, their expressions a mix of grim expectation and simmering curiosity.

Aria stood just beyond the dais, a solitary figure in a simple, dark tunic that did little to hide the gentle curve of her pregnancy. Her hands, clasped before her, trembled slightly—not from fear, but from anticipation. The air around her was thick with unspoken questions, with a thousand judgments. She felt their eyes as physical touches, accusing, dissecting, pitying. It was the same relentless scrutiny she had endured in the temple,

  • Moonlit Secrets   When the Alpha Bleeds

    The wind howled through the narrow ravine, pulling at Xander’s cloak as he rode along the treacherous path. Above, the sky churned with a brooding storm, the thunder reverberating between the jagged cliffs. The far reaches of Moonrise territory had always been dangerous, but tonight, there was something different in the air—a suffocating pressure, a feeling of danger close at hand. Every muscle in the Alpha’s body tensed as he rode, instincts sharp and alert.Xander had come seeking answers, following the scent of strange tracks on the border—footprints where no wolf from his pack should have been. Alone, as was often his way, he trusted his senses over the politics of the council. He needed to escape the weight of Aria’s return, the letter she had left still pressed to his heart, a silent promise that now cut deeper with each passing moment.But pride, as he would soon discover, was no shield against what awaited him.The ambush came suddenly, as though the land itself had conspired

  • Moonlit Secrets   The Night She Almost Left

    The borderlands of Moonrise territory lay in a quiet, uncertain space—a realm caught between worlds. Moonlight wove through the mist, and the air was thick with the scent of pine and the faint, metallic tang of fear that seemed more a memory than a present threat. The trees grew dense, their trunks thick with ancient bark that seemed to whisper of dangers long past.Aria Hartfield walked along the shadowed path at the border, her steps steady but quiet, her cloak drawn tight, her hood pulled low to hide her face from the occasional patrols. She had slipped away from the guesthouse without a word, leaving only a note on her pillow: I need air. The warmth of the protectors she had left behind faded quickly in the distance. Tonight, her mind was a storm, her body weighed down by exhaustion and the weight of decisions she could no longer delay.It had been mere hours since she’d witnessed Xander kneeling beside her, his guilt and jealousy woven together in the flickering firelight with Ro

  • Moonlit Secrets   Letters Delivered

    The morning mist clung to the cliffs above Moonrise, swirling like ribbons in the cool breeze. The estate, perched high on the edge of the world, seemed untouchable, its stone, steel, and glass structure unyielding against the rising sun. Inside, the mansion felt hollow, each room echoing with memories of footsteps that had vanished.For days, Xander had moved restlessly through the empty halls, haunted by the silence. Sleep eluded him, and food seemed unnecessary. He searched the house, as if hoping to find something lost—her laugh in the kitchen, the scent of lavender, the warmth of a hand he had only truly held in dreams.It was in his study, still cloaked in the last traces of night, when the knock came. Mira, the estate’s night nurse, stood in the doorway, pale and worried, holding a sealed envelope. A single blue ribbon tied it together.“This arrived for you, Alpha. Delivered by hand at the gate,” she said quietly.Xander took the envelope, his hands steady but his heart racing

  • Moonlit Secrets   Broken Chains

    The village of Moonrise hummed with the activity of a bustling spring market. Vibrant stalls were brimming with early berries, dried meats, and the earthy scent of freshly cut timber. The air was alive with voices – men negotiating prices, children laughing and running, puppies yapping in excitement, and the distant ringing of the blacksmith’s hammer on steel. Despite the cheerful atmosphere, a quiet tension lingered in the air, the result of recent events that had rocked the pack to its core: Xander’s public humiliation in the arena, Aria’s defiance in the hearing chambers, and the mysterious reappearance of a music box that still held far more significance than anyone truly understood.Aria walked through the market, her strides calm yet purposeful. Her belly, now more noticeably round with pregnancy, was covered by the loose tunic she wore. Her hair flowed freely in the breeze, catching the sunlight with ease. Though her face still bore the remnants of her past struggles, there was

  • Moonlit Secrets   Serenade of Regret

    The forest path stretched before her, a long ribbon of shadow beneath the late-night moon. Aria moved through it quietly, the whisper of her footsteps barely disturbing the stillness of the night. The trees loomed tall and silent, their branches reaching out like arms in the cool evening air, casting long, tangled shadows. The air smelled of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, familiar scents that had always comforted her—until now. Tonight, they only amplified the profound sense of solitude that wrapped around her like a heavy cloak.She wasn’t sure where she was going. It didn’t matter. Her feet carried her deeper into the woods, seeking peace, seeking space, seeking something she could no longer find in the healer’s den, which felt too small, too quiet. The weight of the day—Xander’s public vow, her firm refusal, the uncertainty of the future—pressed heavily on her chest, making every breath a little harder to take. She had made her choice, but it hadn’t come without cost. Her heart

  • Moonlit Secrets   A Room Prepared

    The Alpha estate was quieter than usual that afternoon. The air, usually alive with the soft hum of activity, now felt still, as though the whole place was holding its breath. The footsteps of the guards, the distant sound of conversations, and the murmur of advisors all seemed muffled. It wasn’t peaceful. It was a charged silence, heavy with unspoken things, like the calm before a storm that had already passed.Xander Stone walked slowly through the halls of his estate, each step deliberate but heavy, like the weight of the world rested on his shoulders. His jaw still ached from the battle in the arena, but that pain was nothing compared to the emptiness gnawing at him from the inside.Just hours ago, Aria had stood in front of the council, calm and unyielding, as she turned away from the crown they offered. She had chosen herself, choosing to walk away not out of anger or rejection, but because she wouldn’t be defined by their terms. She wanted to choose her path when the time was r
