"We need to say goodbye," Liam says suddenly, his expression growing solemn. "To our families, our packs. Just in case."

The necessity hits me like a physical blow. Not just the reminder that we might not survive this attempt, but the realization that I've been so focused on the ritual preparation that I haven't considered what message I'd want to leave behind if these are my final hours.

"Fifteen minutes each," Celina agrees. "Then we begin the final preparations. The timing has to be precise—sunset marks the optimal convergence for consciousness projection."

I find my father in the communication room, coordinating security responses with allied packs. His expression shifts from professional focus to personal concern the moment he sees me, Alpha instincts recognizing something significant in my demeanor.

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Ch. 109 What Love Does

    FinleyThe between-space shifts around me as Dane and Liam's consciousness begins to fade back toward their physical forms, preparing for the final phase of our escape attempt. Being alone here again, even temporarily, sends a chill through me that has nothing to do with temperature. The silence feels deeper, more oppressive, now that I've experienced connection across the dimensional barrier.Nova whines deep in my consciousness, her wolf mind struggling with the isolation that follows their departure. She's been my constant companion through this ordeal, the one piece of myself that remained fully intact despite the alien wrongness of this place. Her presence has been an anchor to my own identity when everything else threatened to dissolve into the fluid madness of between-space reality.“Pack,” she insists through our internal connection, her simple wolf logic cutting through the complexity of our situation. “Mates came. Mates return. Pack stays together.”Her certainty strengthens

    Liam "What happens if we try this and it fails?" Finley asks, voicing the concern we're all feeling. "If the consciousness merger doesn't work, or the space collapses before we can follow the pathway back?"Then you join us, the echoes answer with simple honesty. Awareness without form, connection without substance. Not death, but not life as you understand it.The silence that follows is heavy with the weight of that possibility. Through our connection, I feel the fear beneath Finley's brave exterior—not of dying exactly, but of existing forever in this nowhere place, conscious but unable to touch the world we love, watching reality from the outside without ever being able to participate again."There's something else," Dane says quietly, his enforcer training making him voice the tactical concerns we're all thinking. "Our physical forms in the ritual chamber. If our consciousness doesn't return, if we get trapped here permanently...""Our bodies will eventually die," I finish griml

    LiamPresentThe between-space is nothing like I imagined during our preparation. It's not empty darkness or chaotic void, but something worse—reality that shifts based on thoughts and emotions, walls that exist only when you're not looking directly at them, distances that stretch or compress based on how desperately you want to reach your destination."This place is insane," I mutter, reaching for Finley's hand while maintaining my grip on Dane's. The physical connection between all three of us feels like the only stable element in this constantly shifting nightmare. "How have you survived here without losing your mind?""By focusing on you two," she admits, her honesty hitting me harder than the alien wrongness of our surroundings. "By holding onto what I know is real, what I know matters most, even when everything else tried to convince me it was an illusion."The simple confession makes Storm howl with recognition beneath my skin—not the desperate grief he's carried since she disa

    Dane EarlierDawn breaks over Forest Trails as Liam and I return from Mountain Ridge, the ancient texts secured in my pack feeling heavier than their physical weight should allow. Every minute that passes is another minute Finley spends trapped in that empty space, another moment closer to whatever collapse Celina warned us about."Celina's going to want to examine these immediately," I say as we approach the compound, gesturing to the stolen archives. "The linking ritual described in the 1534 account—it's complex. We'll need time to prepare properly.""Time we might not have," Liam replies grimly, his exhaustion evident in the tight lines around his eyes. "That between-space is deteriorating. What if it collapses before we can attempt the projection?"The question haunts both of us, unspoken but constantly present. Not just the possibility of losing Finley, but losing her because we weren't fast enough, weren't prepared enough, weren't willing to take sufficient risks when they matt

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Ch. 104 Where We Belong

    Finley"Hello?" I call out, turning toward the disturbance. "Is someone there?"The response comes as whispers rather than clear voices—fragments of speech in languages I don't recognize, emotional impressions rather than concrete communication. But the meaning becomes clear as figures begin to take shape in the shifting reality around me.Others have been here before. Other people trapped in between-spaces during previous dimensional incidents, their consciousness somehow preserved even after their physical forms were lost. Not quite ghosts, not quite memories, but echoes of people who faced the same displacement I'm experiencing now."You're the reality anchors," I realize aloud, understanding flooding through me as the figures become more distinct. "The ones who got trapped during other stellar alignments, other boundary disruptions."The whispers grow stronger, more coherent, as if my recognition gives them greater presence in this space. Images begin to flow—glimpses of their exp
