One second she's there—our triangle pulsing with shared power, the boundary sealing complete—and the next she's gone, reality folding around her like paper crumpling in an invisible hand.

"FINLEY!" My voice tears from my throat, raw and desperate as I lunge toward the space where she stood just moments ago. Only emptiness meets my grasping hands, a cold void where her warmth should be.

No. No no no. Not again. Not when we've finally—

Storm howls inside me, the sound reverberating through my chest though it never reaches my lips. The primal grief of a wolf separated from his mate. The same howl I swallowed two years ago when I walked away from her, only a thousand times worse because this time I want her, this time I'm choosing her, and she's still gone.

"What happened?" Dane demands, on his knees at the edge of where our triangle stood, his hands passing through empty air as if he might somehow catch some trace of her. "Where is she?"

The ritual site erupts into chaos around us—wa

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Bonus Chapter

    The dimension I've been trapped in for six months exists in a state of perpetual twilight—not quite day, not quite night, with a silver-gray sky that never changes and landscape that shifts when I'm not looking directly at it. Trees that were there moments ago vanish, replaced by rocky outcroppings or endless fields of grass that whisper secrets in languages I almost understand.But I'm alive. Against all odds, despite the dimensional collapse that should have scattered my atoms across multiple realities, I'm whole and conscious and desperately trying to find my way home.The hardest part isn't the isolation or the constantly shifting environment—it's the silence where my mate bond should be. In this place between worlds, I can't feel him. Can't sense whether he's alive or dead, grieving or moving on, enjoying life or drowning in the kind of pain that destroys people from the inside out.I have to believe he's alive. Because the alternative—imagining my strong, devoted mate broken by

    FinleyThe presentation went better than I could have hoped. Not just well—brilliantly. By the time I finished explaining our integrated leadership model and the measurable improvements in pack welfare, territorial security, and inter-pack relations, even the most traditional Alphas in the room were taking notes."I told you so," Liam whispers in my ear as we walk toward our house, his arm warm around my waist."You did indeed," I agree with satisfaction that feels almost too good to be real. "Though I don't think any of us predicted Alpha Morrison asking if we'd consider sending advisors to help Silver Stream implement similar reforms.""Three territorial requests for consultation," Dane adds with obvious pride, his hand finding mine as we approach our front door. "Not bad for a day's work.""Not bad at all," I confirm, though the real victory isn't the political validation—it's the way my mates stood behind me throughout the entire presentation, their confidence in my abilities so a

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Epilogue 2

    LiamI wake up to the sound of Finley cursing creatively in the bathroom, which means either she's encountered a spider or she's trying to do something complicated with her hair for today's inter-pack meeting. Given that it's barely dawn and she's been complaining about the formal nature of today's events, I'm betting on the hair."Need help?" I call softly, not wanting to wake Dane, who's still sprawled across three-quarters of our bed like he owns the place."Yes, but not with this," comes her frustrated reply. "I need help with the fact that Alpha Thompson apparently expects me to give a formal presentation about our 'innovative leadership structure' to a room full of traditionalists who still think female Alphas are a novelty."I slip out of bed and pad to the bathroom, where I find her wrestling with what appears to be an attempt at a sophisticated updo that's fighting back with impressive stubbornness."Here," I say, gently taking the brush from her hands. "Let me."There's somet

    Dane-Six Months LaterThe morning sun filters through our bedroom windows as I watch Finley get ready for another day of being the most effective Alpha Forest Trails has ever seen. Six months into our mated life, and I still catch myself marveling at how perfectly everything has fallen into place—not without effort, but with the kind of natural harmony that makes all our earlier struggles seem like necessary steps toward this contentment we enjoy every day."Stop staring at my ass and help me find my other boot," Finley calls over her shoulder, though I can hear the smile in her voice."I can multitask," I reply with dignity that's completely undermined by the fact that I am, indeed, admiring the view as she bends over to search under our bed. "Besides, it's a very nice ass. I'm appreciating it.""Appreciating it won't find my boot," she points out, though she deliberately wiggles said ass just to torture me."Found it," Liam announces from the doorway, holding up the missing boot with

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Ch. 154 For The Rest Of Our Lives

    FinleyBy the time the heat finally begins to ease, we're all exhausted, satisfied, and bonded in ways that go beyond anything I could have imagined. Every mark refreshed and deepened, every bond strengthened through our shared pleasure and whispered promises."Think that's the end of it?" Liam asks drowsily, his arm tightened around my waist as we lie tangled together in our bed."For now," I confirm, feeling the deep satisfaction that comes after a fully satisfying heat. "Though Dr. Harrison warned that my heats might be unpredictable for the first few cycles.""Meaning?" Dane prompts, though he sounds more curious than concerned."Meaning I might have spikes out of nowhere and jump your bones when you least expect it," I explain with a smile that probably looks entirely too satisfied. "Something about the trauma and the new bonds creating irregularities.""Terrible," Liam says with mock seriousness. "Having to spend several days locked in a room making love to our gorgeous mate. How

    Finley"Now," I demand, my voice rough with desire and desperation. "Please, I need—"I have no idea how many days we’ve been sequestered away, fucking like rabbits. All I know is the minute one of them stops touching me, the fire under my skin reignites and I’m begging for something I can’t even name. But I don’t need to. Not with them. "We know what you need," Dane assures me, positioning himself above me with infinite care. "We can feel it through the bond. Feel how much you need this."When he enters me, it's with the slow reverence of someone handling something precious and fragile, despite the fact that every instinct is probably demanding he claim me with the fierce possession I feel through the bond.The rhythm we find is slow at first, careful. Even with the river of slick I’m producing and the ridiculous number of times we’ve done this, Dane is big and taking all of him stretches me to my limits. But as my body adjusts, it demands more, becomes something wilder, more despera
