Eloise

I smiled before looking up at the sky and thanking the gods.

“You’re right, Mom and Dad are watching over us,” I said immediately, my heart swelling with warmth.

I wiped away my tears right away and just squeezed Emmett’s hand as we continued on our way. Surprisingly, I realized immediately that Elijah had taken the situation very seriously.

As we traveled mile after mile, trucks carrying groups of guardians appeared on the road. They formed a protective barrier that moved forward as we

  • Protected by the Dark Alpha   Epilogue – Part I

    EloiseYears later…Emmett hated ceremonial robes.That was the first thing he said the morning he was to officially become the Alpha of Steel Fangs.He didn’t say he was nervous or that he wasn’t ready; he just got caught up in the robes while ignoring the fact that he wished our father were there with him. That’s how I knew he was just trying to hide his nerves.And I smiled because Emmett wasn’t the same boy he used to be.He had become an adult—tall, handsome, with our mother’s green eyes and our father’s proud bearing. Everything about him screamed authority, and I held back my mockery as he stood in front of a mirror with an expression of utter indignation while Hann tried to adjust the steel clasp on his shoulder.“This is too heavy,” Emmett said.Hann, with more gray hair than years ago and a patience forged in the

    EloiseIt turned out to be a false alarm, but hours later, the next day, Elian was born, and the ancient forest blossomed.It wasn’t just a poetic way of putting it—it truly blossomed.I woke up before dawn with a deep pain, unlike anything I’d ever felt. For a few seconds, I lay still, confused, with one hand on my belly. Then another contraction came, stronger, and I understood what it meant.“Elijah,” I said hurriedly.My mate woke up immediately.He didn’t open his eyes slowly or ask what was happening; he was simply awake, alert, with Gref under his skin.“Is it the baby?” he asked right away.“Yes,” I said in a hoarse voice.His face changed.Panic, joy, terror, and devotion played across his face in a matter of seconds. Then, an extraordinary mix of it all.“Elijah,” I said with da

    EloisePeace did not arrive like a burst of light.It arrived slowly.It came with weary hands rebuilding roofs, with guards repairing fences, with children running through the square again without fearfully glancing toward the forest. It came with merchants traveling along roads that had once been closed, with official letters sealed with fresh ink, with overly proud Alfas learning to sit at the same table without turning every disagreement into a territorial war.It also came with silences.With names spoken in hushed tones and with white flowers on fresh graves.With people waking in the middle of the night, believing they heard the screams of Hall and his men once more.But it came, and that, after all, was a miracle.Blood Moon changed in the months following Hall’s fall and the restoration of the Shadow Forest. Not abruptly, but as a land changes after a harsh winter: first a crack in the snow, then a timid leaf, then green spreading with the patience of one who knows they have

  • Protected by the Dark Alpha   Chapter 131

    EloiseThe official Blood Moon ceremony didn’t begin when I put on the dress.It began weeks earlier, when a girl from the pack stopped me at the market with a basket of night-blooming flowers and told me, with the gravity of an old woman trapped in an eight-year-old’s body, that a Luna couldn’t be officially named without wearing something that had grown under the gaze of the Matterhorn.“It’s tradition,” she said.I looked at Isa, who was standing beside me feigning innocence.“Is it?” I asked cautiously.“It is now,” Isa replied with a smile.The girl handed me the flowers.They were white and small, with a pearly sheen. They had bloomed near the shadowy forest after the restoration. People called them "rest flowers" because they only opened when the fog descended quietly, without hunger.I accepted the flowers as if they were a crown.“Thank you,” I said.The girl looked at me with pride.“You’re already a great Luna,” the girl said before leaving.I didn’t know how to respond.On

    EloiseEmmett held out his hand, and Hann took it.A brief mark, the color of steel in the moonlight, appeared on both their wrists, a reminder of who was in charge of the pack and what that truly meant.That mark was striking, and the fact that no one challenged it made everything much simpler, yet at the same time much more complex.Claris breathed as if she could finally let go of a weight, then did something that completely surprised me.“Then I’ll start with him,” she said.We all looked at her, but I didn’t see surprise in her eyes; I saw seriousness, then I looked at Joe. He had eyes only for her, so I knew he would do whatever she decided, and that calmed me.My friend straightened up, though Joe tensed beside her, not out of fear but because of what that step meant for his mate.“I know the internal networks Hall used,” C

  • Protected by the Dark Alpha   Chapter 129

    EloiseReturning to Steel Fangs was like stepping into a memory that someone had set on fire and then tried to piece back together with trembling hands.It took three weeks before Temra, Grace, and Larys accepted that I could travel without everyone around me freaking out. Elijah had followed the doctor’s orders with a strictness that bordered on the dictatorial. He made me drink concoctions, take naps, eat at exact times, and avoid long meetings.I put up with it because nearly dying had consequences.Also because, every time I tried to argue, Elijah would look at me with those gray eyes that still seemed surprised to see me breathing, and my resolve would crumble like a tower of wet cards.It wasn’t easy for him to recover either.Without his shadows, Elijah had to learn to move within himself again. Not physically, because his body was still strong, his aura still commanded

    EloiseMy nerves were consuming me.Not knowing what was happening to my brother was a kind of torture, and although Isa only wanted to help, her words of comfort did not help me. They were a clear reminder of what was happening.I didn't know how much time had passed since I arrived at the hospita

  • Protected by the Dark Alpha   Chapter 8

    EloiseEmmett still hadn't woken up.And part of me was really scared that something was wrong with him. I had no idea what Hall had done or how much damage he really wanted to cause; the reality was more heartbreaking than I could admit, but I still controlled myself as best I could.The door rang

    ElijahI always thought I would never meet my soulmate.Ever since the dark forest cast that evil spell that changed my life completely, I had resigned myself to not looking for her and living a life without love. Dreaming of the woman of my life was an unattainable ideal, yet she came to me in the

    EloiseMy head felt like it was going to explode.An unbearable pain woke me abruptly from my sleep, and I cursed under my breath in pain. I didn't know what was happening; I just wanted to keep sleeping, to have calm and peace. I sat up in bed and took deep breaths until I realized that the textur
