Kiera's POV

"Mama, my fingers feel funny."

Eli's small voice carried across the garage where I was helping Sable rebuild an engine, but something in his tone made my blood freeze. I looked up from the carburetor in my hands to see him standing near the workbench, staring down at his own hands with a mixture of wonder and fear.

Even from across the room, I could see them changing.

His fingernails were lengthening, sharpening, becoming the curved claws that marked his wolf heritage. The transformation was slow, incomplete, a child's first tentative reach toward his other nature, but unmistakable.

I dropped the carburetor, ignoring the crash as it hit the concrete floor. "Eli, look at me. Look at my face, not your hands."

His head snapped up, and I saw golden fire beginning to flicker in his dark eyes. The same eyes he'd inherited from his father, now touched by the wolf that lived in his blood.

"What's happening to me?" His voice carried the hint of a growl, deeper than any four-year-o

  • Runaway Luna Rider   158: No Mother’s Love

    Darius’s POV “Use my blood,” I said the moment Dr. Charles finished explaining. “Whatever she needs, take it from me.” Dr. Charles’s expression didn’t change, but I saw the hesitation in his eyes. That careful pause that meant he was about to deliver news I wouldn’t want to hear. “Alpha Darius, you’ve lost a significant amount of blood over the past few days. The battles… your body is already compromised. Taking more blood now, especially the volume required for an infant transfusion, could be fatal.” “I don’t care.” “I do.” Dr. Charles’s voice was firm. “If you die on that table, your daughter loses her father and gains nothing. We need a donor who’s healthy enough to survive the procedure.” The logic was sound. I hated it, but it was sound. “Then who?” Kiera asked from beside me. “Eli’s too young. Who else has compatible alpha bloodline?” Dr. Charles pulled out a tablet, scrolling through what I assumed were test results. “We’ve been running emergency screens on all pack mem

  • Runaway Luna Rider   157: The Blood

    Kiera’s POV The flatline sound cut through everything else.I watched through the window as Sarah’s monitors showed nothing but straight lines, that terrible continuous beep drowning out all other noise. Medical staff swarmed her bed, someone performing chest compressions while Dr. Charles barked orders.Beside me, Darius had gone completely still.But across the room, in the incubator, something moved.The baby.She was tiny… her skin almost translucent under the warming lights. But her chest was rising and falling, shallow and rapid, fighting for air she didn’t quite know how to process yet.She was alive.Dr. Charles worked on Sarah for what felt like forever. Compressions. Medications. Desperate attempts to restart a heart that had given up. The monitors stayed flat for thirty minutes.Then… a blip.Another.The flatline broke into an irregular rhythm. Weak, but present.“We have a pulse,” someone announced. “Barely there, but it’s holding.”Sarah wasn’t dead. Against every odd,

  • Runaway Luna Rider   156: A baby Conceived

    Darius’s POV I couldn’t go inside.My feet were planted just outside the hospital doors, unable to move forward or back. Through the small window, I could see the medical staff rushing around Sarah’s bed, the blood, and hear the urgent voices calling out instructions I didn’t fully understand.A child was in there. Dying, maybe. Fighting for life inside a woman who’d destroyed any right to my compassion.Hours ago, I’d been ready to watch Lucien die. Had wanted him dead for what he’d done to Eli, to Kiera, to our family. Now I was standing here paralyzed because the woman who’d helped Lucien, who’d drugged me and took advantage of me while I was unconscious… that woman was carrying an innocent baby.A baby I’d never chosen to create.A baby who existed because Sarah had stolen my consent.My hands clenched into fists. The alpha in me wanted to rage, destroy something, and make the world pay for this impossible situation. But the father in me… the part that had held Eli… that part wa

  • Runaway Luna Rider   155: The Tide

    Sarah’s POV The pain hit like lightning tearing through my body. I’d felt contractions before with Marcus, knew what labor was supposed to feel like. This wasn’t that. This was violent, wrong, like something inside me was tearing apart with desperate urgency. My legs gave out the moment I burst through the Council chamber doors. I heard my own scream echo off the stone walls, heard the shocked gasps of the pack members witnessing my collapse, but none of it mattered compared to the agony radiating from my belly. “Help me,” I managed to gasp before another contraction slammed through me. This one was worse. I felt something shift inside me, felt warmth gushing down my thighs. When I looked down, I saw blood. The kind of blood that meant death was coming. Strong hands grabbed me before I hit the floor completely. I couldn’t see who… my vision was blurring, tunneling at the edges, but I heard Kiera’s voice cutting through the chaos. “Get a stretcher! Now! Move!” Kiera. The woman

  • Runaway Luna Rider   154: Lucien’s Waterloo

    Kiera’s POV Every step toward the territory felt heavier than the last.My body screamed for rest. The artifact pulsed against my skin, its light dimmer now after everything it had channeled. Behind me, Lucien’s unconscious form dragged across the ground, bound in chains of pure light that wouldn’t fade until I willed them to.He was still breathing. Still alive.I’d made sure of that.Death would’ve been too easy for him. Too quick. After everything he’d done… poisoning Eli, orchestrating wars, manipulating Sarah, trying to destroy my family piece by piece, he didn’t deserve the mercy of a fast end.The pack gathered as I crossed into the territory. I saw their faces… shock, relief, fear, awe. They’d felt my pain through the Luna bond. They knew something terrible had happened in that cathedral. Now they were seeing the result.Darius pushed through the crowd, Eli at his side. Our eyes met, and I saw everything I needed to see in his expression. He’d felt it all. Every moment of ago

  • Runaway Luna Rider   153: The Luna’s Pain

    Darius’s POV The pain hit me like a freight train.One moment I was standing in the clearing with Thomas and Magnus, waiting for news from the cathedral ruins. The next, I was on my knees, clutching my chest as agony ripped through every nerve in my body.It wasn’t my pain.It was hers.“Alpha Kael!” Thomas grabbed my arm, but I barely felt it. The mate bond… that invisible thread connecting me to Kiera… was on fire. White-hot torment flooded through it, so intense I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think, couldn’t do anything but experience her suffering.My wolf howled inside me, desperate to reach her. Every instinct screamed at me to run toward the cathedral, to find her, to stop whatever was causing this torture. I tried to stand, and move, but my legs wouldn’t obey.“Let me go,” I gasped, fighting against Thomas’s grip. “She needs me. She’s…”“You can’t,” Magnus said, his voice tight. He was on my other side now, holding me down with Thomas. “The artifact won’t let you interfere. You
