SELENA

I stared at him, unsure if I should believe what he’d just said or even trust what I was feeling.

“But… how?” I whispered.

Alpha Kingsley smiled, but it wasn’t the same gentle smile he gave when the warriors returned safely from patrol. This one was older etched with something ancient. His eyes held layers: wisdom carved by battle, faith forged in silence… and a love too deep to measure.

“I still have enough strength to open the door,” he said softly. “After that... you must walk through it alone.”

I blinked, confused.

He’s barely strong enough to sit upright. How can he open a door to the goddess? And even if he does… am I truly strong enough to face her?

“You’re still weak,” I said, the words leaving my lips before I could stop them. “You need strength to do that.”

He shifted in the bed, straightening slowly but with undeniable purpose. His voice dropped an octave, sharp with pride. “I am Alpha Kingsley of the Bloodfang Pack. You don’t tell your alpha he’s weak.”

    SELENAI didn’t move. I couldn’t. I sat there, fingers laced around his hand as if the warmth of my grip could summon life back into him.The room felt like it had stopped breathing. No footsteps. No voices. Just the rhythm of the fire cracking behind me and the machines pulsing beside him.I poured everything into that silence. Every prayer I couldn’t form with words. Every fragment of hope I had left.Because if no one else could hear me...He had to. He had to.A twitch. Just a flutter. Then, a soft tap his fingers brushing against mine.I gasped and shot upright, heart thundering as my gaze flew to his face.His eyes were open.Clouded, pale... but open."Father?" I breathed, barely able to form the word.A weak smile curved his lips. His skin was the color of ash, his breathing shallow. But he was alive.Tears blurred my vision. “You’re awake,” I whispered, then louder shakier “You’re really awake!”I threw my arms around him, pressing my cheek against his chest. His heart beat f

    SELENALearn from me. Or destroy everything.I clutched the old book to my chest like it was the last lifeline left in a crumbling world. Its leather cover was cracked and worn, the edges stained with the dust of forgotten truths. My fingers trembled around it, but I couldn’t let go not when everything I’d believed in had just shattered before my eyes.The silence in the library was no longer comforting. It thickened around me like fog, heavy with unseen eyes. Watching. Waiting.The air prickled against my skin, and I knew I wasn’t alone.Stephen.My thoughts screamed his name, but my heart whispered it softer, almost tenderly.I sank to my knees between shelves that had once offered me answers, now offering only impossible choices.I was supposed to kill him.Kill Stephen... to save the realm.To stop the bloodline curse.To end the cycle of monsters returning each generation.But how? How do you destroy the one who broke you... and then taught you how to survive the ruins?He hurt m

  • My Stepbrother, My Alpha, My Man   CHAPTER 79

    SELENAThe scent of dust and old leather hit me the moment I stepped into the Wolf House library. Shadows clung to every corner, cast by the weak rays of sunlight that bled through the high stained-glass windows. It was quiet too quiet. Not even the hum of energy from the walls stirred.Nyra’s voice echoed softly in my mind. “You must look into the past. Find the ancient healer wolf’s story. Her choices will guide yours.”Rows upon rows of books towered above me, some shelved neatly, others nearly swallowed by cobwebs and time. My wolf eyes adjusted, picking up the faint shimmer of gold ink on a dusty spine in the farthest corner of the room. The shelf it rested on was crooked, forgotten just like the secrets it guarded.I moved toward it, drawn by something I couldn’t explain.The book was old. Ancient. Dust coated the cover like a burial shroud. I brushed it away, revealing the title etched in fading letters: The Lost Howl of Lysara.My heartbeat quickened.Lysara the last known hea

    SELENAThe silence wasn’t comforting.It pressed against my chest like a weight, thick and suffocating. The kind of silence that knows a storm is coming but refuses to warn you.I stood in the middle of my room, the moon mark still pulsing softly on my forehead like a heartbeat I couldn’t calm. My hands shook at my sides. No training. No control. No idea what I’d unleashed. Just an ancient magic glowing under my skin… and the whisper that I may have broken everything.“Nyra,” I breathed, the name of my wolf, a prayer and a plea. “Please… what do I do?”Her voice curled around me from the inside out, colder than wind through dead branches.“The choice is ours, Selena. You must master your power. Only then can peace return to the realm.”“But I don’t know how,” I whispered. My throat burned. “Tell me what to do…”“Go to the library inside the Wolf House. The answer is there.”The answer.I closed my eyes for a heartbeat, nodding to myself. I could do that. I had to. But first…I spun on

    SELENAStephen dropped to his knees, the weight of Alpha Kingsley’s bleeding body cradled in his arms. His lips trembled, but he didn't let the tears fall. Not in front of the warriors. Not in front of me.Still, I saw it.The heartbreak in his eyes. The silent plea.“Please,” he whispered, his voice raw and cracked. “Use your power. Save my father.”He looked up at me, his gaze fierce and desperate. “This is the only way I can show him how much he meant to me how much he still does. He raised me since I was five. I can’t… I can’t watch him die.”A gust of wind cut through the silence, but it wasn’t cold. It was fate. Pressing down on my shoulders.That’s when I heard her my wolf.Don’t do it, Selena. You will defy fate. He’s meant to die. You can’t save him.But I clenched my fists, teeth gritted.But I can, I told her. I have to.She sighed in my mind, a sound ancient and aching.Then be ready to face the consequences. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.I closed my eyes and reached inward

    STEPHENThe scent of blood hit me before I even stepped into the study.Sharp. Metallic. Wrong.“Father?” My voice cracked as I pushed the door open.There he was slumped in his chair, blood soaking through his tunic, dripping onto the stone floor in slow, sickening drops. His chest rose and fell in shallow gasps. The dagger no, the dagger was lodged in his stomach, its silver blade gleaming with death.I rushed to him. “Father!”His eyes fluttered open, just barely. Blood stained his lips as he forced a cough. “S–son...”“No, no, no. Stay with me.” I dropped to my knees, arms wrapping around him, holding him like I never had before. “You’re going to be fine. You’re strong. You’re the Alpha.”His breath hitched. “Not... for long.”Tears welled in my eyes, but I fought them back. I couldn’t fall apart. Not now. I pressed trembling hands to the wound, trying to slow the bleeding, knowing damn well it was useless. Silver. No wolf could survive a wound from a dagger forged from a fallen A

    SELENAThe hallways of the pack house blurred through the tears clouding my eyes. My footsteps were slow, dragging, like each one carried the weight of everything I’d tried so hard to survive.My room waited at the end of the corridor, quiet and unchanged, untouched by the chaos raging inside me. I stepped in and shut the door behind me with a soft click that somehow felt louder than it should."Hello, room," I whispered, voice barely above a breath. "It’s been a while."It was a lie. Every corner still echoed memories I’d tried to forget. Every shadow on the wall seemed to mock me.How do you forgive the man who destroyed your life?How do you look past the pain, the betrayal, the nights you cried yourself to sleep hoping for answers that never came?Why didn’t Alpha Kingsley tell Stephen the truth?Why let me be treated like filth, like a curse when it was his father who was to blame?Stephen.The name tasted bitter on my tongue.He stole my firsts my first kiss, my first touch, my

  • My Stepbrother, My Alpha, My Man   CHAPTER 74

    SELENAHe didn’t know.Stephen didn’t know.All this time, I thought his hatred came from truth that he was punishing me for something my father did. I believed every cruel word, every cold stare, was because he knew.But he didn’t.And that made it worse.Because he hated me based on a lie.That’s why every glance he threw my way felt like a blade. That’s why his touch never offered warmth only bruises of a story he never cared to understand. And now, here I was, hiding like a coward behind a pillar, listening to the truth unravel like a blade to the chest.I pressed a hand to my chest, willing my heart to slow down, but it only thudded harder—like it was trying to escape. My back hugged the cold stone pillar, hidden in the corridor’s curve, breath caught in my throat.Everything inside me twisted.Was this what all the hatred had been about?A lie?"Why did you order Luca to kill my mother?" Stephen’s voice cracked through the silence like lightning. The fury in his tone was barely
