last update Huling Na-update: 2025-05-12 14:03:14

Ian’s POV

He stepped from the shadows like the night itself had conjured him.

Silver hair spilled down his back like liquid moonlight. His golden skin gleamed beneath the torches, muscles shifting beneath a fitted black tunic that clung to him like a second skin. Its neckline was open, exposing a chest laced with old scars and tribal ink that pulsed faintly in the firelight.

Over it, a deep crimson robe swept the ground - ceremonial, fur-lined, and heavy, embroidered with gold runes that shimmered like stars caught in blood. Dark, high-waisted trousers and boots with silver buckles completed the image. Every step he took rang like a warning.

Beside him, a woman glided in a silver gown that whispered power. Her braided hair shimmered obsidian under the torches. She didn’t need to speak - she carried the silence like someone who had watched entire bloodlines vanish with a single nod.

And then… her.

She walked at Kaelric's side, sharp hips swaying in a high-slit midnight-blu

  • SAVING ALPHA THORNE: THE MOONBOUND PACT   Chapter Nine: Taken To DuskHowl Dominion

    Ian's POV I woke up gasping. Air burned down my throat, but it wasn’t the metallic tang of a train tunnel where I had died in my world, or the stifling incense of Ava’s shrine - it was fresh. Pine-laced. Cold. My back pressed into damp earth, and when I opened my eyes. I sat up fast, and froze. My clothes... they were gone. I was completely naked. “Shit!” I scrambled to cover myself, scanning the forest in horror. But there was no one. Just dark trees. Dense bushes. Crows cawed overhead. The obsidian trees stretched like skeletal fingers into a sky that was- Purple. Bright. Too bright. Recognition slammed into me. “That sky…” I whispered. “The same one from Silwyn Woods.” My throat tightened. “Shit. I’m still in Torguyl?” The realization spread through me like ice. I hugged myself, shivering - whether from the cold or dread, I didn’t know. Where was I? Where did that fucking water woman transport me to? Why here? What now? Brenda’s face flashed

  • SAVING ALPHA THORNE: THE MOONBOUND PACT   Chapter Eight: The Moon's Mandate

    Ian's POV I wanted to laugh. Cry. Scream. Something. But all I managed was a shallow breath and a slow nod. “So… you’re saying I have no choice.” “There is always a choice,” Ava said gently. “But some paths are carved by something greater than will.” My fists clenched by my side. She was already moving - gliding. The crystal waters in the pool at the center of the shrine rippled, glowing softly beneath the moonlight that filtered through the trees. “I deserve to know more before I agree to this,” I said, rising to my feet, though my legs trembled. “You can’t j-just throw divine threats at me and expect blind obedience.” Ava turned her head slowly. “You already agreed, Ian.” I swallowed hard. “You tricked me.” “No,” she said. “You listened.” I swallowed, reality gutting me in the stomach. “I don’t even know who he is. This person that I’m supposed to save.” I murmured, looking downcast. Her voice was like velvet over iron as she hovered around the pool. “Co

  • SAVING ALPHA THORNE: THE MOONBOUND PACT   Chapter Seven: Ava's Reveal

    Ian's POV I couldn’t breathe. I just kept staring, kept blinking, my heart pounding fiercely inside my chest as though I was faced with a ghost. The fuck! What was I even saying?! This was something worse than ghosts. This was more scarier. The figure hovering above the shimmering pool wasn’t human. She wasn’t even a creature. She was presence. A rippling form suspended in mid-air, not made of flesh or bone, but of liquid light. As if moonbeams had slipped beneath the water and forgotten how to return. No feet. No solid form. But still - there were eyes. A mouth. A soul. A voice. "Welcome to Silwyn Woods,” she whispered. Her voice struck before my ears could register it. It crawled into my bones like frost, sinking deep into my marrow. Unshakable. My chest kept tightening, my lungs screamed for air. “What the hell is a Silwyn Woods?” The thought exploded in my skull, but even that question felt insignificant compared to what was unfolding before me. Me—Ian—talki

  • SAVING ALPHA THORNE: THE MOONBOUND PACT   Chapter Six: The Summoning

    Ian's POV As the pain came again, like something trying to rip my jaw off from the inside. I dug my claws into the soil, grabbing a handful of dirt as a choked cry tore free from my throat. Then it hit. A liquid explosion inside my mouth. Metallic. Hot. Blood. My blood. Instinct took over. I swirled my tongue around the thick warmth, tasting it. The realization made my heart thud violently, like it was trying to escape my chest. I reeled back. My breath caught. My fingers, shaking, reached for my mouth. My gums ached, foreign points jutting outward, no longer human. They’d been waiting there all along, hidden like buried blades under my skin. My tongue grazed one of the sharp edges and recoiled instantly. Instinctively. Like it knew they were dangerous. What the hell is happening to me? I wanted to scream, but my voice was gone. What came out instead were ragged, shallow pants - animalistic and frantic. The fangs shifted with each breath, like they were still growing, st

  • SAVING ALPHA THORNE: THE MOONBOUND PACT   Chapter Five: A Feral Awakening

    Ian's POV Consciousness returned to me slowly - like a flower coaxed into bloom by reluctant sunlight. But with each sense that flickered awake, one truth became glaringly clear. I wasn’t where I belonged. As soon as my eyes adjusted and took in the world before me, my breath caught in my throat. “What the actual fuck...?” I was in a forest soaked in eternal twilight. Silver-leafed trees swayed in a gentle wind that whispered lullabies, and the forest floor pulsed with soft blue-glow moss. The light it cast was eerie, serene, and unholy all at once. My head shook on its own, disbelief pounding through my skull. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I whispered, wide-eyed. Everything - the fog, the rocks, the fucking shadows - was moving. Breathing. Watching. Panic bloomed in my chest like wildfire. CRINNNNN. Images exploded behind my eyes like shattering glass. One. Two. Three... Boom! The dam of memory broke. Brenda. Figo. The train. Me. My heart thudded against my ribs a

  • SAVING ALPHA THORNE: THE MOONBOUND PACT   Chapter Four: The Rails Of Betrayal

    Ian's POV Slowly, I opened my eyes, and the first thing that greeted me was the harsh sunlight pouring in from my left. It pierced my sight, forcing a wince as I hurriedly squinted. Wait. Morning already? Where am I? Last night… I was attacked. Brenda… she- My mind was still foggy, disoriented. Each attempt to recall what had happened only worsened the throbbing ache in my head. As I turned my head to the side, a hammer of pain pounded into my skull. "Hmmm…" I groaned, raising a hand instinctively. But my hands wouldn’t move. Panic exploded in my chest. I looked down, and my vision cleared just enough to see him - a hefty, cloaked man. A flash, like a clock’s pendulum, jolted my memory. It was him. The man from the alley. The one who attacked me. Only now, he was unmasked. His face was a map of horror - taut, unforgiving skin etched with grotesque scars. And he was strapping me into a wheelchair. "What are you doing?! What the hell are you doing?!" I screamed, h

  • SAVING ALPHA THORNE: THE MOONBOUND PACT   Chapter Three: When Shadows Strike

    Ian's POV I was walking down the alley. Night had already claimed the sky, and the atmosphere was mercilessly cold and windy. Tucking my hands deeper into the pockets of my woolly sweater, I exhaled. Smoke puffed out from my lips and dissolved into the air like ghosts fleeing the living. My ears stung from the biting chill, but that wasn’t what made me grit my teeth. It was her. “Sly bastard,” I muttered, heat bubbling beneath my skin despite the cold. Rage pumped through my veins like molten lead. When she flashed that smirk inside the bakery’s mixing room, I knew something was off. Brenda always smirked before launching her venom. And this time? She went nuclear - accusing me of stealing a hundred thousand dollars. Me! A man who’s never taken so much as a donut without paying for it. That girl… she wasn’t just toxic. She was a principality. A dark force sent to make my life hell. She sabotaged equipment and blamed it on me. Spread rumors like wild disease. Two months

  • SAVING ALPHA THORNE: THE MOONBOUND PACT   Chapter Two: Lies Undone

    Ian's POV The crowd closed in, their faces warping with judgment, disgust sharp in their eyes. A thousand whispers slithered through the air, each one cutting deeper than the last. “I knew it! He’s been acting shady all day.” “A poor, hungry, desperate thief.” “Thief!” The word echoed like a curse, bouncing off the walls and drilling into my chest. Mr. Barry’s polished shoes clicked across the floor like a slow, merciless countdown. With each step, my heart thundered louder, like it might crack my ribs open. My palms were slick with sweat, knees trembling as I tried to steady my breath.Suddenly, I remembered the video, Brenda, her guilty glances... Then it clicked. she was the one.Mr. Barry was still talking, threatening. “After today,” he sneered, pacing in front of me like a predator, “you’ll understand why people call me a no-nonsense man. When the police are through with you, you’ll-” His voice faded beneath the storm building inside me. No. Enough. I rose
