The wolf didn’t stop screaming. Not when they restrained him, not when the mark beneath his skin dimmed from that violent glow. But the sound changed. It wasn’t pain anymore, it was resistance.

“Hold him,” Kael ordered, his voice edged with something close to urgency.

Four wolves forced the marked warrior down to his knees, gripping his arms and shoulders as his body fought against something none of us could see. His muscles strained unnaturally, veins standing out against his skin as if someth

  • Rejected Luna: The Alpha’s Regret    Chapter 50

    The atmosphere inside Ironclaw changed overnight.No announcement had been made. No official statement had been issued. Yet somehow, tension spread through the territory faster than wildfire.Maybe it was because the people closest to the mystery could no longer look at Lyra the same way.Or maybe it was because every new discovery seemed to point back to her.Lyra felt it the moment she stepped into the council hall the following morning.For weeks, she had helped investigate secrets hidden beneath Ironclaw. She had searched for answers alongside everyone else. Now she was beginning to realize those answers might lead directly to her. The thought sat heavily in her chest.She found Kael standing near the large map table. Several reports were spread before him, but judging by the untouched papers, his attention wasn’t on them.“You didn’t sleep.”His eyes lifted. “Neither did you.”For a moment, neither spoke. Then Lyra leaned against the table. “They think I’m hiding something.”Kael

    Sleep never came.Lyra spent most of the night staring at the ceiling, replaying the stranger’s final words over and over again.Don’t trust the Guardian.The warning should have been simple. Instead, it complicated everything.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the stranger reaching for her wrist. She saw the urgency in his expression. More importantly, she remembered where he had been looking before he lost consciousness.Someone standing behind her, someone inside Ironclaw, someone she knew. The thought refused to leave her alone. By sunrise, she was exhausted.The territory was already awake when she stepped outside. Warriors moved through the training grounds, servants carried supplies between buildings, and patrols rotated along the walls. From a distance, Ironclaw appeared unchanged.Yet beneath the routine, tension lingered. The attack on the stranger had shaken everyone. An enemy attacking inside the territory itself was dangerous enough. An enemy who seemed to know exac

    The stranger woke before sunrise.No one expected it.After being found unconscious near Ironclaw’s northern boundary, the healers had predicted he would remain asleep for at least another day. Whatever injuries he had suffered before reaching the territory had pushed his body beyond its limits.Yet somehow, he opened his eyes before dawn and within minutes, he was gone.The alarm spread through the Alpha House quickly.By the time Lyra arrived, Kael was already there, speaking to two guards stationed outside the infirmary.“You left him alone?” Kael asked.The guards exchanged uneasy glances.“Only for a few minutes.”“A few minutes was enough.”The frustration in his voice was obvious.Lyra stepped inside the infirmary and immediately noticed the empty bed. The blankets had been pushed aside, and one of the windows stood partially open despite the cold morning air.The stranger had escaped, which made no sense. The man had barely been alive when they found him. He shouldn’t have bee

    The word echoed through the underground chamber long after Asher spoke it.Guardians.No one rushed to fill the silence that followed. Even Ronan, who usually had a question ready before anyone finished speaking, seemed unable to find the right one.Lyra stared at the symbol beneath the broken crown. Moments ago, it had been nothing more than an unfamiliar mark. Now it carried centuries of hidden history.Kael broke the silence first.“Start talking.”His voice was calm, but Lyra knew him well enough to hear the warning beneath it.Asher didn’t seem offended. Instead, he looked tired. As though the symbol had forced him to remember something he had spent centuries trying to forget.“The Guardians weren’t warriors.”Ronan frowned. “The records suggest they protected the heir.”“They did.”“That sounds like warriors.” Asher shook his head. “No. Their purpose went far beyond protection.”He stepped closer to the wall carvings.“The Guardians preserved bloodlines, secrets, alliances, and

    The words lingered long after the meeting ended.They’ve already found what they came for.Lyra had replayed them so many times that she could hear Asher’s voice every time the thought surfaced. By dawn, she had given up on sleep entirely.Ironclaw was awake long before sunrise. Patrols moved through the territory with increased frequency, guards rotated shifts at every entrance, and scouts came and went carrying reports that rarely contained anything useful. Everyone was searching for answers, yet every discovery seemed to raise two more questions.For the first time since arriving in Ironclaw, Lyra felt as though the territory itself had become a puzzle, and someone else already knew the solution.She stood near the window of her room, watching the first light spread across the rooftops below, when a knock sounded at the door.Before she could answer, Selina stepped inside.“You look terrible.”Lyra glanced at her. “Good morning to you too.”“It’s nearly noon.”“That explains why I’

    The symbol on the letter affected Asher more than the message itself.Lyra noticed it immediately.The moment he saw the broken crown, something changed in him. Not fear exactly. Asher didn’t strike her as a man who frightened easily.The following morning, the Council Hall filled earlier than usual. Nobody had slept particularly well after the messenger’s arrival, and the unanswered questions hanging over Ironclaw had only grown heavier.Kael stood at the head of the table. “Asher.” The older man looked up.“You know something.” Kael asked.Asher sighed. “I was hoping for another day.”“You don’t have another day.”The blunt response earned a few approving nods around the room.For several moments, Asher remained silent, then he reached for the letter lying on the table. “The broken crown should not exist.”The statement immediately drew everyone’s attention.Ronan frowned. “What does that mean?”“It means the people who used this symbol were destroyed centuries ago.”Cassian leaned

    Kael took one step forward, then another. He didn’t stop at the border line, he crossed it. Slowly and deliberately while being watchful.I stayed still. I didn't greet him nor did I acknowledge him. I just watched him like I would watch an approaching threat I already understood.His gaze flicked

  • Rejected Luna: The Alpha’s Regret    Chapter 12

    The first warning was silence, the kind of silence that meant something had already crossed the line. I felt it before anyone spoke. My instincts sharpened instantly, this wasn’t a distant threat anymore. It was a movement.The air itself felt altered, like the forest had exhaled and forgotten to in

    Kael Draven had never believed in ghosts. But for three years, one ghost had followed him everywhere.Lyra. Not the woman she had become, but the girl from that night. The one who had fallen to her knees in front of the entire pack. The one whose eyes had shattered under the weight of his rejection

  • Rejected Luna: The Alpha’s Regret    Chapter 10

    Something was wrong. I felt it before I saw it. Before the scouts, before the reports, before Darian even opened his mouth.“You feel it too.”Ronan’s voice came from behind me, low and certain. I didn’t turn, I stood at the edge of the territory, my gaze fixed on the forest beyond.“Yes.”They’re
