Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story Ch. 122 Failures
FinleyI sit in the archives long after the pack has settled into evening routines, surrounded by leadership texts I can't focus on and historical records that blur together through the tears I refuse to let fall. Ryleigh's words echo in my head with devastating clarity, each cruel observation mixing with my own guilty thoughts until I can't tell where her manipulation ends and my genuine fears begin.You were nothing special. Just a childhood friend with a convenient bond.The words shouldn't hurt this much—I know Liam has changed, know what we have now is real—but combined with everything else, they feel like proof of what I've been trying to deny. That loving me is dangerous. That I'm not worth the cost. That everyone would be better off if I just... stopped.Through our bond, I feel distant echoes of both Dane and Liam's concern, their growing alarm at how completely I've shut them out. But I can't deal with their love right now, can't handle the weight of their devotion when it f

Liam"You're wrong," I state firmly, directing my response to both Ryleigh's manipulation and Finley's fears. "About everything. About my feelings, about our bond, about what the future holds.""Am I?" Ryleigh asks with cruel satisfaction. "Or am I the only one honest enough to point out that some wolves aren't meant for happiness? That some people are too damaged, too dangerous, too broken to deserve love?""Stop talking," I command, rage finally overriding my attempts at patience. "You have no idea what you're talking about, no understanding of what we've been through or what we've built together.""I understand enough," she replies with vicious certainty. "I understand that you chose me once over your mate bond. I understand that wolves who cause this much collateral damage don't get happy endings. And I understand that sooner or later, you'll remember why you walked away the first time.""Never," I state with absolute conviction, though I can feel Finley's doubt growing stronger w
Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story Ch. 120 Brace For Impact
LiamI find Finley exactly where the patrol leader said she'd be—standing at the eastern boundary, staring at dimensional monitoring equipment that's been giving the same readings for hours. Her posture screams exhaustion, shoulders set in rigid lines that speak to the emotional weight she's carrying, the guilt that's eating her alive from the inside out."The readings haven't changed," I observe, approaching carefully in case she decides to bolt rather than face whatever conversation is coming. "Celina confirmed the residual energy is harmless. Just aftershocks from the between-space collapse.""I know," she replies without turning around, her voice flat with the kind of emotional numbness that's been growing stronger every day. "I'm just... being thorough.""You're avoiding us," I correct gently. "Avoiding meaningful conversation. Avoiding anything that might help you process what happened."She finally turns to face me, and the sight of her hits me like a Mack truck. Dark circles u

Dane"I'm going to talk to Alpha Bennett," I decide, already moving toward my formal diplomatic attire. "Find out exactly what's been said in council meetings, who's been undermining her authority. If pack politics are contributing to her emotional state, we need to address that directly.""And I'll try to get more information about the perimeter situation," Liam adds, falling into step with my planning. "If there really was a disturbance, we need to know about it. If she's using pack business to avoid us, we need to know that too."We part ways in the corridor, our coordination automatic despite the stress of recent days. The enhanced bond makes cooperation effortless even when our emotional connection feels strained, another reminder of how much we've changed since the consciousness merger.I find Alpha Bennett in his office, reviewing reports that look suspiciously like damage assessments from recent supernatural events. He glances up as I enter, his expression shifting from profes
Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story Ch. 118 Emptiness
DaneI wake to emptiness where Finley should be, the physical space beside me cold despite her having left bed only minutes ago. Through our bond, I sense her in the bathroom, the emotional walls she's constructed so thick that only fragments of her true feelings leak through—guilt, exhaustion, and beneath it all, a bone-deep conviction that she doesn't deserve the love Liam and I keep offering."She's pulling further away," Liam murmurs from his position on the other side of the bed, his voice heavy with concern and frustration. "I can feel it through the bond. Every day, she builds those walls higher."I nod, Summit stirring restlessly beneath my skin as he responds to our mate's distress. The enhanced connection that should be bringing us closer together has become a source of constant worry instead—feeling her pain without being able to alleviate it, sensing her withdrawal without being able to breach the barriers she's erected around her heart."Five days," I say quietly, running

Finley "I need some air," I announce, standing abruptly and heading for the door. "I'll be back later.""Finley—" Dane starts, but I'm already leaving, using my Alpha candidate status to prevent them from following when protocol would normally allow mates to accompany each other anywhere.The pack grounds are busy with late afternoon activities—training sessions, security patrols, the normal rhythm of pack life that continues despite the recent tragedy. I find myself walking toward the administrative building, drawn by the familiar sounds of pack business that used to give me purpose.Voices drift from the open window of the council meeting room, and I pause just outside, recognizing my father's voice among others."—succession planning needs to be addressed immediately," comes Councilman Ward's distinctive tone. "Recent events have demonstrated the volatility of relying on unprepared leadership.""Finley has proven herself repeatedly," Dad replies, his defense of me making my chest
