The next morning, I practically dragged myself out of bed even though I hadn’t slept much. Devon kept asking if I was okay, but I just told him I was tired. I didn’t want him worrying more than he already was.

Joey met me outside for training again. She kept watching me with that sharp look she gets when she knows I’m not saying everything. But she didn’t push, just made me run until my lungs burned and my legs felt like they would give out.

“Come on, Addy,” she yelled. “If you’re going to prove yourself to this pack, you can’t collapse every time it gets tough.”

I wanted to snap at her, to tell her I didn’t care about the damn pack anymore, but instead I pushed harder. I wanted to be stronger. I wanted to be the Luna Devon needed me to be.

But when training ended, the whispers started again. Louder this time.

“She’s not one of us.”

“She’s cursed. I don’t want her anywhere near my children.”

“I heard she’s a danger to the Alpha himself.”

The words cut deeper than the exercises Joey pu

  • My Fiance is Sleeping With My Step Sister    Bonus chapter

    The morning sun, a gentle artist, spilled its golden hues across the sprawling courtyard of the Ironfang stronghold. It illuminated the dew-kissed stones, kissed the vibrant blooms in the carefully tended gardens, and, most importantly, warmed the faces of Adriana and Devon as they watched their children play. George and Georgia, now five years old, were a whirlwind of energy and laughter, their days filled with the joyful exploration of their world.George, with his father’s adventurous spirit and a mop of unruly dark hair, was attempting to scale a particularly sturdy oak tree near the main keep, his small hands gripping the rough bark. He’d reached a respectable height, his tongue poking out in concentration.“Careful, little pup!” Devon called out, his voice a low rumble of affection. He stood with his arm around Adriana, their bodies a comforting anchor for each other amidst the playful chaos.Georgia, mirroring her mother’s more thoughtful nature and possessing Adriana’s strikin

    The air in the Ironfang stronghold crackled not with fear, but with a potent, rising hope. Adriana, standing before the gathered packs and the King’s own defecting guards who had heard the truth, felt the land thrumming with anticipation. King Theron, finally extricated from Elias’s suffocating influence by a brave contingent led by a deeply conflicted Valerius, stood beside her, his eyes clearer than they had been in years, though still heavy with regret.Elias, stripped of his false authority, stood defiant but alone. His final desperate act – ordering the Royal Guard to seize the twins under the King’s purported decree – had been thwarted not by brute force, but by the King’s own awakened conscience, spurred by Valerius’s intervention and the evidence of Elias’s manipulation. Valerius, remembering the conviction in Devon’s eyes and the disturbing nature of Elias’s orders regarding the twins (which felt more like an assassination plot than protection), had made a critical choice. I

    The King’s chambers, once a symbol of regal authority, had become a gilded cage of paranoia. Elias, with Patricia’s subtle enchantments weaving a web of fear around Theron, had successfully twisted the King’s perception. The King no longer saw his grandchildren as heirs, but as vessels for Anya’s perceived vengeful spirit, a threat that whispered of his own inadequacy and the instability of his reign.“They are Anya’s eyes, Your Majesty,” Elias intoned, his voice smooth as polished obsidian, as he stood beside the King’s throne. “Every innocent glance they cast hides a prophecy of your downfall. The Ironfang Pack, in their misguided devotion to Anya’s memory, are only hastening the fulfillment of her supposed will.” He gestured towards a partially completed decree, an order for the immediate apprehension and ‘sequestration’ of the royal twins. The wording was deliberately ambiguous, cloaked in the language of protection, but the intent was clear.King Theron, his face etched with a te

    In the heart of the royal palace, cloaked in gilded opulence and suffocating guilt, King Theron sat on his throne, a shadow of his former self. Elias, with Patricia by his side, had begun weaving their insidious narrative into the King's already fractured psyche. Patricia, using subtle enchantments and carefully chosen words, amplified the King’s deepest insecurities, conjuring visions that played on his fear of Anya and her destiny.“Your Majesty,” Patricia began, her voice a velvet caress laced with mystical undertones, her eyes reflecting a manufactured empathy. She gestured towards Theron’s trembling hands. “Anya’s spirit… it is restless. It has always sought to reclaim what it believes was unjustly denied. And now, it has found a vessel.”Theron flinched, his eyes darting around the throne room as if expecting Anya to materialize from the shadows. “A vessel? What do you mean, Patricia?”Elias stepped forward, his voice carefully modulated to project concern for the King, not ambi

    Elias, seething at the subversion of his carefully laid plans, felt the ground crumbling beneath him. The Stonefurriers had slipped through his grasp, Valerius was wavering, and whispers of unrest within the capital city, ironically orchestrated by his own agents in a desperate attempt to quell dissent, were now echoing back to him as a threat. Patricia’s chilling suggestion – to weaponize the King’s deepest fears against the twins – preyed on his ruthless pragmatism. It was a desperate gambit, but one that might just consolidate his power if executed perfectly.“The King’s paranoia,” Elias mused, stroking his chin, a predatory gleam in his eyes. “He already feels Anya’s shadow looming over him, her prophecy a constant threat to his perceived legitimacy. If we can convince him that the twins, her direct descendants, are not just heirs, but active agents of her vengeful spirit, bent on usurthing his throne… then his own fear will become my greatest weapon.”He turned to Patricia. “You

    The mountain pass became a testament to the Stonefurriers' resilience and the Greyclaws' strategic disruption. The Royal Guard, though initially gaining ground, found themselves faltering under the combined pressure. Adriana’s elemental surge, though distant, had sent a ripple of unease through the Royal Guard ranks, a subconscious reminder of primal forces that Elias’s magic couldn't fully suppress. Lyra’s Greyclaws continued their hit-and-run tactics, preventing the Royal Guard from overwhelming Borin’s delegation.Alpha Borin, seeing the Royal Guard captain’s hesitation and the growing disarray caused by the lingering tremors and the Greyclaw harassment, made his move. “We are not your enemies!” he bellowed, his voice carrying the weight of his pack’s respect. “We seek only to understand, to present Anya’s true vision! Elias’s decree is a tool of fear! If you value the King’s true well-being, and the future of this kingdom, you will let us pass!”The captain, caught between his ord
