LOGINKillian looked at her, his expression a mask of profound helplessness. “She used to travel constantly, disappearing for weeks at a time. I never questioned it back then because she always asked me to accompany her, but I was entirely consumed by my Alpha training, so I just let her go alone. And shadow wolves... their gestation period is less than a single month. They are corrupted, magical creatures, and their dark blood is capable of doing unbelievable things.”He ground his teeth together, the muscles in his jaw flexing tightly. The sheer fury of knowing their enemies had exploited his past negligence and weaponized his own biology was a bitter pill to swallow.Isabella seemed terrified by what the future held for them, but then she looked directly into his eyes, her gaze instantly hardening with absolute conviction.“Don't worry, Killian,” she said, her sweet, soothing voice carrying a fierce undertone that resonated with his wolf. “We will fight them together. We will prove to th
Killian sighed, licking his dry lips. He didn't want to tell her about the escalating crisis and the impending war. He wanted to shield her, to keep her safe in the peaceful bubble of their room. But how long could he truly hide it from her? Eventually, she would find out. After all, she wasn't just his mate; she was the Luna of the Blood Moon pack.He gently removed her warm hand from his cheek and turned his back to her. He couldn't look into those perceptive blue eyes while he was lying to her face.“It's nothing, Isabella. Why would you think that?” he tried to convince her, his voice a little too tight. “It's just standard pack business and some tedious official work. I am just exhausted. Today was a very long day, nothing more.”“Really? Then why won't you look at me, Killian? Are you hiding something?” she asked, her eyebrows furrowing as she tried to step into his line of sight.“Listen, Isabella,” he said, intentionally hardening his tone. He hated being blunt with her, but h
Killian had been so consumed by the pack's defense that he hadn't managed to step away from his duties all day. By the time he finally broke free and walked back toward his quarters, it was late into the night.The pack house was entirely silent. The grand hallways were dark, everyone having long since finished their meals and retired to their rooms to rest for the coming day. He went straight toward his and Isabella's bedroom. His wolf clawed at his chest, desperate to see her after being cut off from her for so many hours. He knew she was likely upset; her biological family had arrived today, and he couldn't stay to welcome them properly. He had already received word from his scouts that they left earlier in the evening, refusing to stay the night.Trying to be as quiet as possible, he turned the handle and cracked the door open, hoping Isabella would be fast asleep. He silently poked his head through the gap to peek inside, but instead of finding her tucked into bed, he saw her anx
“Witch clan?” Killian frowned, his brows drawing tight. “I mean, I can understand the shadow wolves. They are filthy, cunning creatures that can't be trusted at all. But witches? Are they truly so audacious that they want to breach the sacred peace pact between the shifters and the immortals?” Ethan exhaled with a sharp shake of his head. “No, Alpha. Not the entire witch clan—not the ones under the ruling of the Witch Queen. It's the rebellious faction. The ones allied with those blue wolves. They have formed their own separate group. They call themselves the Sapphire Clan.”Killian nodded slowly, his mind locking onto the name. “Hmm, makes sense. Have you found any coordinates regarding their location through the ancient locket Rose gave you?”“I’m working on it,” Ethan replied, leaning back slightly. “It seems it's highly complicated to decrypt.”He spoke the words smoothly, but the subtle way he averted his eyes made Killian’s inner wolf grow instantly suspicious. The Alpha didn't
“Okay, but first I need to talk to Killian, and if he agrees, only then will I come for the ritual,” she said.A sudden ray of hope shone through their eyes at her words. But then Valerius spoke up, his tone a bit more commanding. “If you want, I can speak to the Alpha King myself. I expect him to understand.”“No, Grandfather,” Isabella said quickly, her voice firming up. “No one forces Killian into anything, and I know if it comes to my safety, he won't say no. But I was wondering... can the ritual be performed here in the Blood Moon pack? I mean, we can seek the Goddess's blessing anywhere, right?”“Dear, you aren't wrong. If we call to the Goddess from our hearts, she will listen,” Elara said gently. She leaned in closer, her expression deeply serious. “But it is the territory she chose to reside within. In our territory, we wolves don't have her power for no reason. It is her blessing in the very air and the earth there. Performing the ritual on that sacred ground will surely cas
“No way!” Valerius breathed, shaking his head in immediate denial.“That’s not possible!” Elara gasped, her hand flying to her chest as the color drained from her face.Caelum leaned forward, his expression deeply grim. “Blue wolves are a myth, Isabella. They don't exist.”“No, I swear I saw them. In fact, Killian saw them too, and many of our warriors witnessed it in that battle,” Isabella insisted, her voice firm.At her words, a heavy silence fell over the room. The disbelief on their faces slowly shifted into grave concern.“If that is true, then the world isn't safe yet,” Elara said softly, her hands tight around her teacup.Valerius nodded in grim agreement. “Yes. And now we have to find more information about them.”Caelum noticed the deep lines of worry forming on Isabella's forehead. He reached over, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder to draw her attention. “Don't worry, Isabella. We will uncover everything. Our ancient scriptures must have something hidden within them
When Killian left the banquet hall to cool off, he was fuming. If he hadn’t stepped out for air, he might’ve done something he’d regret later. Without a second thought, he stripped off his clothes, shifted, and ran into the woods, letting his anger burn away with every pounding stride.He finally
Isabella had always been told that Maya had saved Killian’s life and that it was the reason he was so protective of her, why he cared for her, and even promised to marry her. But no one had ever told her the details—how or where Maya had supposedly saved him.Now, as Maya’s words echoed in the dark
The day had finally come. The Blood Moon Pack celebrated the festival every year as a grand ceremony, with all the Alphas from the surrounding territories in attendance. This year, they were gathering once again, so arrangements for their stay had already been made, along with heightened security f
“Killian, leave him!” James growled, rushing forward to intervene, trying to control the situation—but Killian wasn’t ready to listen.His grip on Corbin’s neck only tightened. Corbin’s face began to pale as he struggled for air, and panic surged through Isabella. Instinctively, with fear clawing a
