Chapter 27

I stayed pressed against Ryder’s side, his warm hand still resting on my shoulder

Anna wasn’t done playing her game.

She stepped closer again, that sugary smile glued to her face. Her green dress swished as she moved, and she reached out to me.

“Come on, Doris darling,” she cooed, her voice dripping sweetness that made my skin crawl. “Let Mama hold your hands. You look so tired after all that training. Let me rub them for you, hmm?”

Her fingers stretched toward

    “I command you to—”Before I could finish, the door suddenly burst open with a loud bang.The doctor and I snapped our heads toward the entrance instantly.“ENOUGH!”Dad’s voice exploded through the room as he walked inside looking furious.His eyes moved between the doctor kneeling on the floor and me standing over her.“What exactly is going on here?” he demanded.The doctor trembled violently.“Dad, it’s nothing,” I said quickly. “We were just discussing—”“I wasn’t talking to you, Ryder.”His voice came out dangerously calm.Dad walked toward the doctor slowly.“What I heard outside that door did not sound like ‘nothing.’”The doctor lowered her head immediately.Dad helped her stand gently despite the anger on his face.“What did you mean by traitor?” he asked firmly.The doctor glanced at me fearfully but stayed silent.Dad’s expression darkened.“I command you to speak.”The authority in his Alpha voi

    The moment Doris collapsed, my entire world shattered.I dropped to my knees beside her so fast my legs slammed hard against the ground. Her body felt weak in my arms as I pulled her close. Blood stained her lips, warm against my trembling fingers.“Doris… Doris, look at me,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “Please, baby girl. Open your eyes.”No response.Fear punched the air out of my lungs.“DORIS!” I shouted louder, shaking her carefully. “Open your eyes. Please!”But her head only rolled weakly against my arm.Ms. D rushed toward us, tears already streaming down her face. Dad stood frozen nearby, shock written all over him like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.Everything had happened too fast.One second we were celebrating victory.The next…It felt like the Moon Goddess had ripped my heart out with her bare hands.I quickly carried Doris into my arms and ran toward the pack house. Blood from her mouth stained my clothes a

    The Thunder Pack warriors lowered their heads respectfully. And slowly picked up their fallen Alpha’s remains and carried him away in silence.Dad suddenly grabbed my shoulder tightly and his face broke into a proud smile.“We did it, son.”I smiled back tiredly.Then Blade, Julius, Alpha Kelvin, and Ethan walked toward us, all covered in blood and dirt but alive. We had survived an unexpected war.Ms. D and Doris walked toward us together, both smiling softly despite the exhaustion written all over their faces. Dirt and blood still stained their clothes from the battle, but seeing them standing there alive felt like peace after chaos.Dad let out a deep breath the moment they got close enough.“You two should never try something like this again,” he said, pulling both Doris and Ms. D into a tight hug. His voice carried relief more than anger. “Do you know how worried we were when we realized you were both missing?”Ms. D laughed quietly. “Worried? Yo

    ~ Ryder ~The arrow flew straight toward Doris.For one terrifying second, the entire battlefield disappeared around me. I couldn’t hear the screams anymore, neither could I hear the clash of claws or the dying cries of warriors.All I saw was that arrow aimed directly at her chest.“DORIS!” I roared.My heart slammed violently against my ribs as I ran toward her. Panic burned through me so hard it felt like fire spreading under my skin. I knew I wouldn’t make it in time.But what happened next stopped me cold in my tracks.The arrow froze mid-air, just inches from her chest. It hovered there for a heartbeat, trembling, before dropping harmlessly to the ground. Doris stood tall, a small smirk on her lips. Even the enemy warriors froze in shock.Her hands still glowed with power, but her eyes had returned to normal. She looked unstoppable.Then Doris slowly raised her hand.The enemies standing in front of her were suddenly thrown backward

    ~ Doris ~The moment Alpha Stone and Ryder left the basement, something inside me snapped. I couldn’t just sit there anymore. I was tired of watching people I loved sacrifice themselves for me, and tired of being the reason everyone kept getting hurt.“I’m done with this,” I whispered, hitting the side of my head in frustration. “No more.”I pushed myself up, ignoring how weak my body felt, and slipped out of the basement. The pack house was quiet. Thank the goddess no one was in the corridors. I moved quickly, heart racing, and headed straight for the gate.Two warriors stood guard. I tried to sneak past while their backs were turned, but a small hand suddenly grabbed mine. I spun around. It was Gab.I quickly scooped him up and ducked behind a corner, pressing a finger to my lips.“Hey buddy,” I whispered, trying to smile. “What are you doing outside?”“I woke up and couldn’t find you,” he said innocently.“Where is your grandma?” I

    We raced back to the pack house, my heart pounding hard against my chest like it was trying to break free.The moment we reached the entrance, Gab  stood there crying, his small shoulders shaking as tears streamed down his face. The little boy must have felt the heavy tension in the air.“Hey buddy,” I said softly, bending down and lifting him into my arms. I held him close against my chest, rubbing his back. “Stop crying, okay? Go inside your room and stay with Grandma. Everything’s going to be alright.”Gab buried his face in my neck, still sobbing. I hated to see him like this.Before I could say more, the front doors swung open. Dad walked out fully dressed for war — black combat gear, silver wolf emblem on his chest. He looked strong, like the Alpha I remembered from my childhood.“Everyone get ready!” Dad commanded. “We are heading to Thunder Pack to rescue our Luna and the mother of this pack!”The warriors roared in agreement, raising their fists and

    Frustration burned hotter than the rage inside me.Rage was clean and simple because It gave me something to destroy.But this… this helplessness… it sat in my chest like poison, spreading with every breath.I should have found her.I should have brought her back.The pack hou

    Chapter 36~ Doris ~The evening sky was painted soft pink and orange, like the sun was saying goodbye slowly. I stood in front of the tall mirror in my room, heart beating so fast I could feel it in my throat. Today was the parade. The special evening walk every Luna from the f

    All I could focus on was the man sitting so close that I could smell the faint leather of his gloves. The single bulb swung slowly, throwing his long, dark shadow across the dirty floor and making him look even taller, even more dangerous. My heart raced, but this time it wasn’t just fe

    ~ Doris ~I woke up feeling tired, too lazy to move at first. Then it hit me, I was in Ryder’s room. I turned to look beside me, but the bed was empty. He hadn’t come back after leaving last night.Was he alright?Or is he avoiding me?I hugged my knees to my chest and let my
