Chapter 8

Author: Little Star
After leaving the old territory, I headed north.

No one knew me here.

I traded game and pelts for coin and rented an old cabin with a hot spring at the foot of the mountains.

Life in the Northern Territory moved slowly.

On full moons, the local pack held ceremonies on the snow plains.

Hunters went into the mountains at dawn and came back at dusk with game and herbs.

My silver wolf slept for nearly two months.

The first time she opened her eyes again in my mindscape, I was setting traps by the ed

  • My Alpha Mate Chose His Adopted Sister Over Me, So I Left Him   Chapter 10

    Before long, another message arrived from Beta Ormond.The earlier border intelligence had been accurate.After becoming a rogue, Lilia's gray wolf had spiraled completely out of control.She had joined the Thornvine Pack, a rival of the old pack, trading her knowledge of the former territory for protection.Over the past year, she had been secretly mapping the pack's defenses and helping the Thornvine Pack locate gaps in the patrol routes.Although Rex had rebuilt the defenses and added three layers of patrols, Lilia led a group through an extremely well-hidden abandoned drainage tunnel and burned wolfsbane near the outposts to mask their scent and disrupt the Warriors' tracking.The main entrance to that channel had been sealed.But as a child, Lilia had discovered a side passage hidden in a rock crevice.The Thornvine Pack briefly breached the second line of defense.Rex shifted fully and led the Warriors to drive the invaders into the valley.His black wolf was still powerful.But

    After Rex left, I apologized to Kael."About what I said...""I know you just wanted him to leave."Kael wasn't upset."This time, I was willing to go along with it."But next time, give me a heads-up."He paused for a moment."Not because I mind being used."But because whatever you have to face, I want to be ready to face it with you."A few days later, Rex came to my cabin again.Unlike his first visit, when he had arrived full of urgency and begged me to return, this time he stood quietly outside until I allowed him in.He placed a memory crystal on the table.The crystal contained a record of everything that had happened in the past year.The Moon Spirit Pool, cleaned and restored.The Moon Spirit Stone, repaired.Multiple Gamma guards rotating day and night.The sealed drainage tunnel.And every old order that had favored Lilia, revoked.He also brought back my parents' portrait, the one that had been torn apart.It had been carefully restored.The cracks were still there, but my

Three steps to the left."I did as he said, and the patch of snow under my feet collapsed with a crash.After that day, I ran into Ka

    When they returned to the pack, Rex didn't confront Lilia right away.He shut himself in the Alpha's tent for an entire night.In the dim light, he replayed every scene from the past seven years.Wendy's forehead split open by the moonstone.Her legs charred by the coals.Her parents' portrait shredded to pieces.And her figure kneeling in despair beside the Moon Spirit Pool.Every time, he had soothed his conscience with the same two words: guilt and duty.He had believed that once Lilia recovered, everything would go back to the way it was.But with his constant indulgence of Lilia, Wendy had been trampled into the mud, bit by bit.The black wolf delivered its cold verdict from within his mindscape:"You're the one who destroyed our home."Your arrogance, your cowardice, and your stupidity made us lose her forever."Crushing regret tore through his heart.At dawn, Rex ordered Beta Ormond and Lead Warrior Nolan Reed to begin an investigation, his eyes bloodshot.Three days later, a me

    The next morning before setting out, Rex tried to reach Wendy.There was no response.The mate bond had been severed. He could no longer use her scent or soul sense to track her.The black wolf tore restlessly at the walls of his mindscape and taunted him coldly:"She's gone."You drove her away."You threw away the Moon Goddess's gift for a liar."Rex turned off the communication crystal."Rex, my head really hurts."Lilia clung to his arm.Rex was silent for a moment, then raised his hand anyway and massaged her temples.But late that night, he didn't return to the Alpha's tent.He went alone into the snow forest to the east.That was where he and Wendy had hunted together for the first time.Seven years ago, they had each carved a claw mark into the trunk of a massive cedar, promising to return after the marking and connect the two marks into one.Rex stood beneath the tree, his fingertips tracing slowly over the claw mark Wendy had left.After seven years of wind and snow, the mark

  • My Alpha Mate Chose His Adopted Sister Over Me, So I Left Him   Chapter 5

    Before leaving the pack, I decided to visit Moon Spirit Falls to say goodbye to my parents.The Moon Spirit Pool was the pack's sacred heart, where they honored the Moon Goddess and housed the ancestral soul energy.Under the pack's strict laws, the Gammas were elite warriors assigned exclusively to guard the sacred grounds.On any normal day, Gamma Cole Mercer and Gamma Evan Brooks stood guard at the entrance around the clock. They took orders only from the Alpha in person or from a pass bearing his complete soul seal.No one could reassign them on a whim.But when I arrived, the entrance was unguarded.A crumpled note lay in the grass.The handwriting was a hurried scrawl."Emergency order from the healing tent. Lilia's wolf has lost control. The Alpha commands the Gammas to report immediately for assistance."A smudged Alpha seal remained in the lower right corner.My heart plummeted.A sense of dread crept up my spine.I rushed into the sacred grounds.Large patches of moongrass ar
