Aluna’s POV

The moment the door shut behind us, the silence felt too loud.

Not because nothing was happening, but because everything was happening inside me.

My chest was rising too fast, my thoughts tangled, my emotions refusing to settle. I could still feel it, that strange force moving under my skin like something alive, like it was waiting for me to either lose control again or understand it.

And then there was him.

Dalton.

Standing too close.

Watching me too closely.

I could feel it, not j

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 62

    Aluna’s POVThe moment everything inside me finally settled, it was like something snapped quietly into place within my chest, the pressure that had been building for what felt like hours dissolving into a strange calm I did not trust yet, and before I could even properly inhale and understand what I was feeling, Dalton’s hand was already on me, his grip firm but not rough as he pulled me closer in a way that stole the air from my lungs, and then he kissed me.It was not gentle.It was not hesitant.It was immediate, deep, and so consuming that my thoughts scattered completely, my hands freezing where they were as his lips stayed on mine longer than I expected, like he was not asking for permission but taking a moment that had already been building between us without words, and when he finally pulled back just slightly, his forehead still hovered close enough that I could feel his breath against my skin.“You are impossible,” he said quietly, his voice lower now, almost teasing, and I

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 61

    Aluna’s POVThe moment the door shut behind us, the silence felt too loud.Not because nothing was happening, but because everything was happening inside me.My chest was rising too fast, my thoughts tangled, my emotions refusing to settle. I could still feel it, that strange force moving under my skin like something alive, like it was waiting for me to either lose control again or understand it.And then there was him.Dalton.Standing too close.Watching me too closely.I could feel it, not just his presence, but him. The way his energy reacted to mine, the way something darker, deeper, stirred whenever my power flared. It made something twist inside me, something confusing, something that made my chest tighten in a way I did not understand.It made me… aware.Too aware.And that only made everything worse.“You need to calm down,” he said again, his voice firm but not harsh.I let out a frustrated breath, shaking my head. “You keep saying that like it is something simple.”“It is

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 60

    Dalton’s POVThe council chamber was built for control.Everything about it demanded order. The long obsidian table stretched across the center of the room, its surface polished to a dark sheen that reflected the dim overhead lights. Tall stone pillars lined the walls, carved with ancient markings that spoke of lineage, conquest, and blood-bound rule. Even the air inside felt heavier, like it carried the weight of every decision ever made within those walls.And right now, that weight pressed harder than usual.“Vaelthryx is not just an ancient name,” one of the elders said, his voice strained despite the composure he tried to maintain. “It is a force that predates even the oldest bloodlines we know. If it has truly awakened, then we are not dealing with something that can be contained by ordinary means.”I remained seated at the head of the table, my fingers resting lightly against the arm of my chair, my gaze steady as I listened. Around me, the elders shifted uneasily, their disc

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 59

    Aluna’s POVThe moment the priestess stepped back and dismissed us, the weight in the air did not vanish completely, but it loosened enough for me to breathe properly again. My chest still felt tight from everything I had seen and heard, and even as we began to walk back, my mind refused to quiet. The forest stretched around us, calm on the surface, yet I could still feel something underneath it all… something watching, waiting.I wrapped my arms lightly around myself, not from cold, but from the unease that had settled deep inside me.Dalton glanced at me. “You are quiet.”“I am thinking,” I replied honestly.“About what you saw?”I nodded slowly. “About everything. The voice. The warning. The way it felt… like it knew me.” I hesitated, then added more quietly, “It did not feel like a stranger.”Dalton was silent for a moment, as though weighing his words. “Not everything unknown is an enemy.”“I did not say it was,” I murmured. “That is what makes it worse. I do not know what it is

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 58

    Aluna’s POVMy eyes flew open, but the world I returned to did not feel entirely real.The forest was still there. The circle. The priestess. Dalton standing just beyond the boundary. Nothing had changed, and yet everything had.My heart was racing, my chest rising too fast, too sharp, like I had just run from something unseen.“You heard it,” the priestess said.It was not a question.I swallowed, my throat suddenly dry. “It… called me.”Dalton stepped closer to the edge of the circle, his eyes fixed on me, searching, alert. “What did it say?”My lips parted slightly. “My name.” Saying it out loud made it real. Too real.The air around us shifted, not violently, not like before, but in a way that felt aware. Like something had taken notice and was now… watching more closely.The priestess inclined her head slightly, as though acknowledging something unseen. “Then the gate is open.”I shook my head faintly. “It did not sound… dangerous.”“No,” she replied. “It would not.”A pause sett

  • Queen of Wolves    Chapter 57

    Aluna’s POVThe priestess did not step into the circle.She remained outside it, already seated, her posture calm, composed, as though she had done this countless times before and nothing about it unsettled her. That alone made my chest tighten, because everything about it unsettled me.“Enter,” she said gently.My feet hesitated at the edge.The markings on the ground were clearer now that I stood closer. The white lines were not just symbols. They felt… alive in a quiet way, like they were waiting. Watching.“You are safe,” Dalton said beside me, his voice low, steady.I glanced at him.He was not forcing me forward. He was not pushing.He was simply there, and somehow, that made it easier. I stepped inside.The moment both my feet crossed into the circle, something shifted. It was subtle, but undeniable. The air felt different, thicker, like it carried something unseen.“Sit,” the priestess instructed.I lowered myself slowly, folding my legs beneath me, my hands resting lightly on

The air is c
