Lena left as a quiet girl in love. Now she returns as the storm that will tear their legacy apart. After years abroad, she was supposed to come back to a warm welcome, to rekindle a connection with her long-time crush, Alex. But instead, she finds him gone—imprisoned, betrayed, and erased by the person he had given everything up for. The culprits? Alpha Lucas and Alpha Liam—the same twins praised as the future of the pack—and their ever-glowing Luna, Lily. In Moonshine College, where only the most prestigious werewolves are allowed to walk the halls, she steps into the shadows with fire in her heart and her twin brother Ethan by her side. Lily glows at the bottom of it all. But what glows… can burn. This time, she didn’t come to fall in love. She came to get revenge for her Alpha.

The air outside was fresh and clean, the familiar scent of pine trees and the distant mountains filling her senses as they sped down the winding roads toward the mansion. It had been two long years since she had left for Europe to study. Two years of living without seeing Alex, the boy who had filled her every thought. She was finally coming home, and everything felt like it was falling into place. Her twin brother, Ethan, sat in the front seat, his expression a mixture of boredom and smugness. He had never liked leaving their home, especially not for college. It was always about business for him, and their father’s donations to the prestigious Moonshine College had ensured they would be admitted there. “You’re really excited to see him, huh?” Ethan asked, his voice laced with amusement. Lena’s heart skipped a beat. “Alex?” She grinned. “Of course I am. I haven’t seen him in so long. I mean, he was always around back then, but now… well, I can finally tell him how I feel.” She gazed out the window again, her thoughts drifting to the last time she had seen Alex. He had been so distant when she left—so wrapped up in the drama with the Alpha twins and Lily. She had left before she could sort out everything that was happening. Ethan huffed, his gaze narrowing on the road ahead. “Well, we’ll be at Moonshine soon enough. Can’t say I’m thrilled about it though. I don’t get why we couldn’t just start as freshmen. Our father practically owns the place now with his donations. We’re basically walking into a crowd full of Alphas, Lunas, and their pack members. It’s going to be a mess.” Lena laughed softly, feeling the excitement rising in her chest again. “You’re just mad because you’ll have to deal with actual students for once instead of your usual business meetings and private circles. And come on, it’s Moonshine College! It’s going to be amazing! All those wolves who are destined for greatness… and now we’re part of it.” Ethan grumbled under his breath. Lena’s face softened, her eyes full of longing. “Alex has been through a lot. You know that, right? The pack... everything that happened while I was away... I tried to reach out to him, but he never responded. I don’t know what happened between him and the Alpha twins, but I want to see him.” Her brother turned back to look at her with a raised eyebrow, his expression unreadable. As they got closer the mansion, Lena’s heart raced. The car pulled up to the grand entrance, and the butler was already there waiting for them. He opened the door and greeted them with a polite nod. “Welcome home, Ms. Lena, Master Ethan.” Lena smiled at the butler, grateful to be back in the familiar surroundings. “It’s good to be home,” she said as she stepped out, feeling the cool air rush past her. Her excitement was palpable. She couldn’t wait to see Alex. “I can’t believe we’re finally back,” Lena said, her eyes shining with anticipation as they walked into the mansion. “I’ve missed everything here—the pack, the grounds... and especially Alex. He’s going to be shocked to see me again, don’t you think?” Ethan smirked again, crossing his arms. “If you think Alex will care, you’re delusional. But whatever. I don’t care either way.” He dropped his tone, his eyes narrowing. “But it’s probably best not to get too attached to any of this. We’re here for Moonshine College, not to hang out with someone who’s still stuck in the past.” Lena shot him a glare. “You don’t understand,” she muttered. “I have to tell him I love him. I can’t keep pretending that I don’t care about him.” She couldn’t stop talking, her words tumbling out in a rush. “I have to tell him that I’ve loved him for so long, that even while I was studying abroad, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. He’s been through so much, and I need him to know I’m here for him.” As they entered the main living room, the large flat-screen television flickered on, the news anchor’s voice cutting through the room. “Breaking news tonight: Alex, the exchange student that entered the pack two years ago, has been convinced for his involvement in a high-profile case endangering the lives of the Alpha twins and their Luna, Lily…” Lena froze. Her heart dropped into her stomach as the words echoed in her mind. She took a step forward, her eyes glued to the screen. The footage showed Alex, his face gaunt and weary, handcuffed as he was led into a courthouse. His once proud, confident demeanor had been replaced with an expression of sorrow. The news anchor continued, “The wolf council found Alex guilty of endangering the lives of the Alpha twins and their Luna, Lily. After a long and grueling trial, he was sentenced to life in prison.” Lena’s breath hitched in her throat, and she felt a rush of confusion, disbelief, and grief. “No… this can’t be real,” she whispered, staring at the screen in horror. “Alex… how could he...?” Ethan, standing beside her, was equally stunned, his voice tight with shock. “What the hell? I—I don’t understand. Alex would never do something like that.” The butler, who had been standing silently by the door, finally spoke, his tone heavy with the weight of the truth. “I’m afraid it is true, Ms. Lena. Alex betrayed his pack and endangered the Alpha twins and Luna Lily. After a thorough investigation, the wolf council found him guilty and sentenced him.” Lena shook her head violently, her anger building as tears welled up in her eyes. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides. “Lily…” she spat the name, her voice dripping with venom. “She did this. She must have… she’s the one who’s behind all of this. I won’t let her get away with it. I won’t let Alex rot in prison because of her lies.” Ethan’s face hardened. “You want revenge, don’t you?” Lena nodded slowly, a dark fire igniting in her chest. “Yes. And I will make sure she pays. I’ll make sure the Alpha twins pay too.” Ethan smiled coldly, his earlier indifference replaced by a gleam in his eyes. “Then let’s make them regret ever crossing Alex.” And so, with vengeance in their hearts, they turned to face a future that promised nothing less than war.The sun had already begun its slow descent, dipping into the horizon and painting the ocean in golds and purples. The salty breeze carried with it the faint music from the resort’s beachside bar, a soft hum of laughter, clinking glasses, and the gentle crash of waves. After the chaos of the day, the defeat of the Crescent rogues, the confrontation with Clara, the world finally seemed still. Almost too still.The group had gathered in one of the lounge areas of the resort, a half-circle of cushioned seats facing the sea. For once, no one was standing guard. No one was running. It was a chance to breathe.Lucas leaned back, a tall glass of champagne in his hand, though his gaze was far away, his jaw tight. Beside him, Liam stretched out his legs, ever the picture of confidence but his eyes betrayed the storm underneath. Lily sat between the Alpha twins, her presence grounding them both, her hand brushing Lucas’s shoulder every so often as if to remind him he was still here, still w
The sun had dipped lower over the horizon, splashing the beach in strokes of fiery orange and muted violet. The waves rolled with lazy persistence, as though the ocean itself was indifferent to the storm that was about to break among the seven friends standing in the sand. Their laughter and relief from earlier had thinned into cautious silence as Clara, with her notepad pressed tightly against her chest, approached.Her heels sank awkwardly into the sand, every step stiff, but her chin was lifted high, her reporter’s resolve battling the tremor in her hands.“Lucas,” she called, her voice carrying across the wind, sharp but slightly breathless. “Liam. All of you.”The group stiffened. Lucas’s jaw locked while Liam’s arms folded tightly across his chest. Aiden and Graham exchanged a look, their faces darkening with recognition and distaste.Lily’s stomach twisted.Clara stopped just short of the group, shifting her weight nervously. “Is it true?” she demanded. “Did you actually cat
The salty breeze carried the muffled groans of the bound Crescent rogues as they were dragged across the sand by the resort’s security team. Two of the rogues stumbled, their legs weak, but the guards yanked them upright with no sympathy.At a distance, the Alpha twins’ bodyguards stood locked in conversation with the head of resort security. Their voices were low but urgent. Every so often, one of them glanced toward the rogues, ensuring no trick or sudden escape attempt would mar this victory.The rest of the group—Lily, Maya, Lena, Aiden, Lucas, Liam, and Graham—stood together in a loose circle on the sand. The tension of battle was still clinging to their skin, but relief had started to seep into their shoulders. Their laughter came in short bursts, like nervous fireworks after a storm.“I still can’t believe we pulled that off,” Graham said, running a hand through his messy hair. His shirt clung to his back, stained with both sweat and dirt.Lena grinned, brushing a lock of ha
The Crescent rogue claws dug lightly into the soft skin of Lily's neck, sharp enough to break flesh with the slightest twitch.“Stay where you are,” the rogue hissed, his voice low and venomous. “One wrong step, and she bleeds out before your eyes.”Lucas’s entire body trembled. He wanted to lunge, to rip the bastard apart, but the sight of those claws at Lily’s throat rooted him to the spot. Beside him, Liam’s face was carved from stone, though his eyes blazed with a fury that threatened to consume him whole.“Let her go,” Liam demanded, his voice deep and commanding, carrying the weight of an Alpha even though he kept his stance measured. “She’s not your fight.”The rogue chuckled, the sound bitter. “Everything connected to you twins is my fight.”Lucas’s hands clenched into fists. “If it’s us you want, then take us. But release her.”“Do you think I’m stupid?” The rogue sneered, pressing his claws harder into Lily’s neck until a thin line of blood fell against her skin. Lily fli
Lucas stood at the center, his fists clenched tight enough that his knuckles ached. He had been listening—watching—waiting. But now, he was no longer hidden. His temper had betrayed him.Across from him, three men lounged with a carelessness that felt more dangerous than open hostility. They were Crescent rogues—wolves who had long turned their backs on order, respect, and pack loyalty.The tallest one, with shaggy black hair and eyes that glinted, grinned at Lucas as though he has been waiting for this confrontation.“Well, well,” the rogue drawled, tapping a chipped glass against the table. “Look who decided to crawl out of hiding. One of the Alpha twins.”The second rogue, shorter but broader in the shoulders, leaned forward and spat on the ground.“You should’ve stayed in the shadows, pup. This room doesn’t welcome your kind.”The third rogue chuckled low. “Maybe he thinks he’s a hero. Maybe he thinks he’s got claws sharp enough to stand against us.” His laughter cracked into so
The air was thick with salt and the faint hum of cicadas as Lucas, Liam, Maya, Lily, Graham, Aiden, Lena, and the ever-watchful bodyguard slipped along the narrow pathway at the side of the beach resort. The main building, with its easy energy and streams of laughter, seemed a world away compared to the silence they were walking into now. Here, the walls were darker, the pathway less maintained, as though deliberately hidden from the eyes of the wealthy guests. Lucas’s steps were silent but purposeful, the Alpha aura he carried making even the shadows feel like they bent out of his way. Still, caution was not just an option—it was their lifeline. Ahead stood the side building. It looked like nothing more than a storage shack, tucked between the service alley and the edge of the beach cliffs. A faded wooden door leaned slightly on its hinges, and light spilled out from a gap near the frame. Through that crack came the faint rumble of voices and the occasional clatter of dishes.
