The referee’s voice still echoed in my ears.“The winner of the final round is Luna Doris of Moon Pack!”For a second, the entire arena went silent. Then the cheers exploded.Moon Pack members shot to their feet first. Their voices crashed over me like a wave.“Doris!”“Luna Doris!”“Moon Pack! Moon Pack!”Flags waved wildly. People clapped so hard their hands must have

I wiped the tears from Gab’s eyes with my trembling thumb, trying so hard to stay strong for him even while my own heart was breaking apart. He looked so small sitting there in the middle of the bed, curled into himself like a fragile little bird with broken wings.“Gab, look at me,” I whispered softly, cupping his face in my hands. His skin was pale, and the rims of his eyes were swollen red from crying so much. “You have to stop crying a little, okay? Grandma wouldn’t want to see you hurting like this.”My voice nearly cracked, but I forced myself to keep going.“She’d probably scold both of us right now for wasting all this time crying when there’s still life waiting for us outside that door.”He hiccupped, a jagged, soul-shaking sound. "But she’s... she’s gone. Everyone leaves."“We all have to go one day, baby. Even Grandma,” I said softly.I searched for the right words — for some gentle way to explain something as painful and endless as death to a child who still saw the world

“Move!”Ryder’s voice thundered through the pack house as he pushed the front door open with his shoulder, carrying Grandma tightly in his arms.“Call the doctor!” I shouted immediately, my voice shaking as we rushed after Ryder into the living room.Ryder carefully lowered Grandma onto the couch.Her body looked so fragile now.Gab stood frozen near the doorway, staring at his grandmother with wide frightened eyes.“Please take Gab upstairs,” Ryder told Kael quickly, not taking his eyes off Grandma. Kael nodded immediately and walked toward Gab.“Come on, little man,” he said gently, but Gab shook his head hard.“No. I want to stay with Grandma.”His tiny voice cracked so badly it nearly shattered my heart.“Gab—”“I said I want Grandma!” he cried louder, tears already spilling down his cheeks as Kael quickly pulled him back and hurriedly took him to his room before he could run toward the couch again.Before anyone could say ano

“Ryder!” I screamed before I even realized I was speaking. My voice cracked through the silence of the burial ground.Everything stopped and all heads turned.My chest rose and fell too fast as I pointed shakily toward the far end of the trees.“Lu…ci…ous,” I stammered, barely able to get the name out.Ryder was beside me in an instant.“Hey—hey, look at me,” he said firmly, holding my shoulders. His grip was steady, but his eyes were full of worry. “Breathe, Doris. Talk to me slowly.”“I saw him,” I said quickly, breathless. “Lucious. He was right there, at the edge between the trees.”I pointed again, but this time there was nothing there. Just empty space.Only trees swaying softly in the wind.Ryder turned his head, scanning the exact spot I was pointing at.“There’s no one there,” he said gently, like he was trying not to hurt me.“No,” I shook my head hard. “He was there. I’m not lying.”Alpha Stone stepped forward slowly, his face tight with concern.“Ryder,” he said quietly, “

Ryder stood there staring at Blade’s coffin for several seconds without speaking.Like he still couldn’t believe Blade was truly inside it.Beside me, Julius lowered his voice softly.“Luna, you need to breathe.”A sob escaped my lips.“I can’t do this,” I whispered weakly. “I can’t.”“Yes, you can.”I shook my head immediately.“He died because of me.”“No,” Julius said firmly.I looked at him through blurred tears.“Blade made his own choice,” Julius continued softly. “Nobody forced him.”“But if I wasn’t dying—” I tried to say, but Julius cut me off before I could finish.“Then Ryder would’ve done it instead.”I froze completely.“What?”Julius instantly looked away like he regretted saying it.“You heard me,” he muttered quietly.“No,” I said quickly, grabbing his arm. “Tell me what you mean.”Julius looked away, his throat working as he swallowed hard. "I shouldn't be telling you this."“Julius!” I didn’t realize I was shouting until a few people turned to glance back at us. I qu

~ Doris ~It had already been five days since Blade died, yet it still didn’t feel real.Every morning, I kept expecting someone to tell me it was all a mistake. That Blade would walk through the doors with that calm smile of his and tell us we were all overreacting.But reality was cruel.Blade was gone.And today, we were finally laying him to rest. We couldn't keep him hanging in the silence of the morgue anymore…Blade wouldn’t want to be trapped in the cold for too longThe burial ground had been decorated with white flowers and black ribbons, but no amount of beauty could soften the pain in the air.Warriors stood in long silent rows dressed in black.Pack members gathered quietly behind them, many with tears in their eyes.Nobody spoke loudly.Even the children stayed quiet, as if they understood something sacred was happening.At the center of it all was Blade’s coffin covered in white lilies.Seeing it there made my chest

Blade’s fingers twitched, feebly interlacing with hers. "Hey, don't feel bad," he whispered, his voice a dry rattle. "It’s not your fault. I made a promise, remember? I told you... you wouldn't die on my watch. I’m just a man of my word."A violent tremor shook him. He leaned over the side of the bed and coughed out thick, dark blood that hit the white tile floor. Yet, when he looked back up, that haunting smile remained. He was dying, and he was at peace with it.Julius knelt on the other side, his face a mask of grief. "This wasn't the plan, Blade. We were supposed to lead this pack together. We were supposed to grow old together."Blade’s breathing became shallow, hitching in his chest. "Plans change, Julius. Especially after what my father did to this pack. I’ve carried his shame for so long. Maybe this balances the scales." He looked at me, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. “And I hope…” he struggled to breathe, “…you found his body and burned it to ashes.”His voice c

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

~ Clara ~My head felt like someone had filled it with rocks and shaken it hard. A dull, heavy pain throbbed behind my eyes. My mouth tasted bitter like bitter chocolate. I tried to move, but my arms wouldn’t listen. Something rough and tight bit into my wrists. Rope. Thick rope.I b

I need to say something before the truth burst out of me.“I’m not being harsh on her, Alpha. I just want her to be strong. Strong enough that no one will ever step on her again.”I lowered my head and spoke in a soft, tired voice. “Alpha… I’m so sorry for worrying you. I was sick al
