Aluna’s POV

The silence in the room did not stay peaceful for long.

At first, it wrapped around me gently, like something careful, something controlled. It matched the room. It matched everything I had seen since waking here. Nothing out of place. Nothing loud. Nothing threatening.

But then… it shifted.

It started with a sound. Faint, so faint I almost ignored it. I stilled, my head tilting slightly as I listened. Soft chirping. Birds.

My gaze slowly drifted toward the window. At first, I thoug

    Aluna’s POVThe silence in the room did not stay peaceful for long.At first, it wrapped around me gently, like something careful, something controlled. It matched the room. It matched everything I had seen since waking here. Nothing out of place. Nothing loud. Nothing threatening.But then… it shifted.It started with a sound. Faint, so faint I almost ignored it. I stilled, my head tilting slightly as I listened. Soft chirping. Birds.My gaze slowly drifted toward the window. At first, I thought they must be close, perhaps resting just outside, hidden within the trees that bordered the palace grounds.But the more I listened… The more I realized that wasn’t true, they were far. Too far. And yet I could hear them clearly.Every flutter of wings. Every tiny movement. The way the wind brushed through leaves and carried their sound across the distance like it was nothing.My chest tightened, that wasn’t normal.I moved toward the window slowly, almost cautiously, as if getting closer wou

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 47

    Aluna’s POVWe remained by the window, the silence between us no longer heavy, yet not entirely comfortable either. My gaze lingered on the warriors below, their movements sharp and disciplined, every strike controlled, every step measured. There was no chaos in their strength. Only order.It felt… different.Slowly, my attention shifted away from them.For the first time since I woke, I allowed myself to truly look around.The room.It was not extravagant in the way I had imagined a king’s chamber would be. There were no unnecessary decorations, no overwhelming displays of wealth. Instead, everything carried a quiet authority.The walls were layered in deep charcoal and muted grey, smooth and refined, with faint patterns that revealed themselves only when the light touched them just right. The colors were not cold. They were steady. Grounded.The floor beneath my feet was polished dark wood, clean and reflective, each step echoing softly as though even sound respected the space. The

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 46

    Aluna POV He did not respond immediately. His eyes studied me in a way that made heat rise under my skin, not from shame, but from being seen too clearly.“You owe me nothing for doing what was necessary,” he said.Necessary.I did not know whether that comforted me or not.A memory surfaced suddenly. The woman in white. Her calm voice. The way she looked at me as if I were something more than broken.I swallowed.“There was a lady,” I said cautiously. “In the realm. She white light surrounds her.”His expression shifted slightly, but not in anger.“She helped sever the tether,” he said.“Who is she?” I asked carefully, watching his face for any sign I had crossed a line.“She serves something older than either of us. She is the priestess.” I lowered my gaze again. “She said… I could heal it. Although I don't know how. Do I have to prepare herbs, what can I do to heal you.”My eyes flickered to the dark markings.“She said I am…” The words caught in my throat. “The moon goddess’s chi

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 45

    Aluna’s POVDarkness did not feel empty.It felt watched.The last thing I remembered was the tear in the spirit realm and that presence behind it. Not the witch. Something older. Something that had stirred when the tether shattered. Then everything went black.When I woke, it was not gentle. Air tore into my lungs like I had been drowning. My body jolted, and pain followed a dull, deep ache in my veins, in my wrists, in my chest. My hands flew instinctively to my stomach, to my arms, expecting to feel the altar beneath me, the bite of carved stone, the drain of my blood being taken drop by drop.There was no altar.No chanting.No crimson flames.Instead, there were sheets beneath my fingers. Soft. Thick. Clean.My eyes opened slowly.The ceiling above me was high, lined with dark beams and carved markings I did not recognize. Sunlight filtered in through tall windows framed by heavy curtains. The air smelled of pine and iron and something sharper beneath it. Power.My heart began t

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 44

    Dalton’s POVThe witch’s threat still echoed when the circle finally gave way. The fractured symbols beneath our feet split with a blinding surge of light, and the flames that had caged her shattered outward like glass under pressure. The tether screamed one last time as the realm convulsed around us, unable to withstand the force of a bond chosen freely rather than carved in blood. Smoke tore from the witch’s unraveling form as she staggered back, fury twisting into something dangerously close to fear. Then the ground beneath us cracked completely, and the gray void that had held us hostage began to peel apart in widening spirals of light, dragging the remnants of her and her ritual into nothingness.The realm did not collapse, It peeled away.Light fractured into shards around us, the mist dissolving into spirals that lifted upward like smoke pulled through a narrowing funnel. The altar was gone. The circle no longer existed. Only faint lines of gold shimmered beneath our feet, fa

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 43

    Dalton’s POVThe sound was violent this time, not sacred. It split through the gray void like a bone snapping under pressure. The crimson symbols flared erratically, light bleeding through the fractures in jagged pulses.The witch’s laughter faltered, but not goneit was kind of strained.“Step inside,” she had told me.So I did.The flames swallowed my legs first, rising like a living wall. They did not scorch skin. They attacked something deeper, clawing at my spirit, pressing against the bond that tied me to her.Pain tore through my wrist.The faint shadow beneath my skin darkened instantly, branching outward in thin, burning veins.Dallas roared inside me. ‘It is marking us.’‘I know.’But I did not step back. I stepped fully inside the circle. The moment both my feet crossed the boundary, the symbols beneath us screamed. Not audibly. Spiritually. The tether snapped tight between Aluna and whatever unseen force anchored it, and the recoil hit me like a blow to the chest.Aluna cri

    Dalton’s POVThe tremor fades, but the echo of it lingers inside my bones.I leave my parents sitting inside the council hall, their questions still hanging in the air, and walk toward my private study.

    Dalton’s POVThe sound of fists colliding echoed across the training grounds long before the sun fully claimed the sky. Dust rose with every fall. Sweat burned into open cuts. The scent of iron and dominance lingered thick in the air. I liked it that way. Controlled chaos. Measured brutality. Prepa

    Aluna’s POVI do not remember how I walked out of Alpha Ryder’s chamber. One moment I was standing there, the woman in black studying me like I was something rare and dangerous, Alpha Ryder’s composure cracking in a way I had never witnessed before. The next moment, I was in the corridor, the heavy
