Chapter 10

Author: Serein M
Alaric's POV

After the disaster at the full moon festival, my blood temporarily stabilized the pup, Lucas.

Simon didn't banish me. He just gave me a look of profound disappointment before turning to calm his guests.

That look hurt more than any punishment.

Rowena clutched the slightly recovered child, hope rekindling in her eyes.

"Alaric, I knew you wouldn't abandon us…"

"Enough," I cut her off, my voice cold and empty. "This is the last time."

I pulled a document from my jacket and threw it at her feet.

"What's this?" Rowena asked, confused.

"A decree of severance," I said, my voice dead flat. "As of this moment, you and that child are nothing to me. Nothing to the Black Moon Pack."

Her face went white.

"You can't do this! Lucas is your blood—"

"A pawn in your pathetic scheme doesn't deserve my bloodline." I turned away, not wanting to look at her anymore.

"Alaric!" Rowena shot to her feet. "You can't abandon us! After everything I did for you—"

  • Rogue Luna’s Last Goodbye   Chapter 12

    Aurora’s POVThe sea breeze brushed against my face.I stood in the doorway of my small shop, looking out at the endless blue horizon.A year ago, I came to this seaside town in the southern hemisphere, starting over with the new identity Simon had given me.No one here knew my past. No one knew the werewolf world existed.I was just Anya, a quiet perfumer."Anya, we sold out of perfume again today!" my new assistant, Leah, ran over, beaming. "Especially your 'Ocean Whisper.' The customers all say it smells like freedom."I smiled and nodded.The scent of freedom.It was the first perfume I created after arriving here.Sea salt, mint, and a tiny bit of the moonpetal Simon had given me.It really did smell like freedom.Besides making perfumes, I would sometimes, late at night, secretly use my faint healing powers to help the small animals caught in traps.My wolf hadn't died. It just existed in a gentler way now."Oh," Leah added, "the owner of the coffee shop asked if you want to go t

    Aurora’s POVI was reading in Simon’s study when there was a soft knock on the door."Come in."Simon entered, his face grim."What is it?" I put my book down. "You look terrible."He sat on the sofa across from me and was silent for a long time."Aurora, I have some news. It's about Alaric."My heart gave a little jump, but I quickly stilled it."What about him? Did he make a fool of himself again?""He's dead."The two words landed with the force of a physical blow, stealing the air from my lungs. It didn't feel real. A name like his wasn't supposed to end in a whisper."When?" I heard my own voice, eerily calm, as if I were asking about a stranger."Last night. At the cliff where you two first met," Simon said softly. "He sent me one last message."He took out his phone and handed it to me.On the screen was a text:Tell her... I'm finally letting her go. Tell her she was the only part of me that was ever real. And tell her not to look for me in the next life. She deserves peace.I

    Aurora’s POVSimon’s car drove through the city streets and finally stopped in front of a magnificent estate."This is my private territory," Simon said, opening the door for me. "You'll be safe here."I stared at the castle-like mansion before me.High walls, imposing guards, and an aura of power in the air strong enough to make any Alpha bow."For how long?" I asked."What?""How long do I have to stay here?"Simon was quiet for a moment. "Until you want to leave."On my seventh day at Simon’s estate, it was the full moon festival, one of the grandest celebrations in the North.All the leaders of the vassal packs and their young heirs came to pay tribute to the Alpha King and display their strength and loyalty.The housekeeper brought me a silver gown that shimmered like moonlight."Miss Anya, the King has invited you to attend tonight's banquet as his guest of honor."I looked at the stranger in the mirror and nodded.The banquet was held at a grand open-air altar, with bonfires rea

    Aurora’s POVThe next morning, I woke to the sounds of someone in the kitchen.I pushed open the door and saw Alaric busy at the stove.He was in a simple white t-shirt and black pants, stripped of his usual Alpha authority. He looked like an ordinary man."You're awake," he said, turning around, a flash of joy in his eyes. "I made breakfast."The table was set with perfect food: fresh bread, fried eggs, and blueberry scones, my old favorite."I'm not hungry.""Aurora, you have to eat something. Your wolf is still stabilizing. You're weak."I walked to the table, picked up a plate, and dumped all the food into the trash can.Alaric watched, a flicker of pain crossing his face, but he said nothing."I'll make something else.""Don't bother." I turned to leave."Aurora," he called out. "I know you hate me, but you can't hurt your own body.""What do you care about my body?" I looked at him coldly. "Don't you have Rowena? Go worry about her and your pup."His face went pale."It's over wi

    Aurora’s POVAfter I locked the door, I quickly packed up my supplies.Whether Simon recognized me or not, I couldn't stay here.I had to move to another city. I just needed to grab my essentials from my apartment.I wasn't home long before the doorbell rang.My heart hammered against my ribs, but my hands were steady. I walked to the door and looked through the peephole.The hallway was empty.Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I heard a familiar voice from behind me."Aurora."I spun around.Alaric was standing on my balcony. He'd climbed up eighteen floors.Six months. He was so much thinner.His eyes were sunken, his jaw covered in stubble.But his eyes were the same golden color I remembered, and right now, they were locked on me."How did you get in?""The window." He walked toward me, step by step. "You changed your hair. You've lost weight. But I'd know you anywhere."I backed away until my back hit the wall."This is a human city. You shouldn't be here.""I shoul
