Alaina

The moment he let go of me, the tension in his grip lingered on my skin like a burn. He looked uncertain, even reluctant, before finally backing off and disappearing into the shadows. I stood there, rooted for a second, stunned that anyone would actually try to harm another during a game this deadly.

I hadn’t entered the competition to be handled like a fragile token. I came to prove myself to Adrian, yes, but also to myself. And maybe, deep down, to show Cole that I wasn’t just another weak link to be brushed aside.

“Relax…” the hunter mumbled as he retreated, brushing past the underbrush as if nothing had happened.

I flexed my limbs, rolling my shoulders and stretching my neck as I tried to push the unease from my body. The weight of that moment hadn’t quite left me when I heard Adrian’s voice.

“You alright?”

  • Scarred By The Moon   Chapter 27: Shadows and Scars

    AdrianThe Blackwood Pack’s den throbbed with energy, a constant flow of letters pouring in from another pack. Each one echoed with curiosity and concern—questions about Alaina Mayers. Who was she, really? What did she mean to us?The parchment messages piled high on my desk, ink still fresh, each sentence feeding the growing storm of speculation among the wolves. Her name carried weight now. It stirred both reverence and unease. Even in the privacy of my thoughts, I couldn’t escape the fascination she stirred within me.Alaina had always been hard to read—quiet, composed, yet deeply enigmatic. I used to summon her with a snap of my fingers, treating her like an afterthought. A beautiful distraction, nothing more. Or so I told myself. But even then, there had been something beneath the surface—something elusive that refused to let me forget her.When she earned a new rank in the pack, it caught everyone’s attention. The title itself wasn’t im

  • Scarred By The Moon   CHAPTER 26: Silent Moves

    FreyaDespite hiring the best hunter in our pack to take her down and finally end her pathetic little crusade, that bitch Alaina managed to escape.Unfortunate.And deeply infuriating.For days, I could barely sleep, haunted by the thought that she was still out there, alive, breathing the same air, threatening everything I had fought for.Everything I had taken.FLASHBACK“The Pack Games is today,” I whispered, fingers weaving through Cole’s dark hair, letting the silky strands slide through my touch like water. He was lying in bed, relaxed, calm, smiling lazily as if nothing in the world could touch us.But it could. And it would. If she showed up.His face brightened slightly at the mention of the Games. “I might see Alaina—”“She’s a rogue!” I snapped before I could stop myself, the sharpness of my voice slicing through the moment. I instantly winced, swallowing hard. “I’m sorry,” I mu

  • Scarred By The Moon   CHAPTER 25: Fractures in the Pack

    Cole"Alaina catches the most dangerous rogue..." The words tasted like venom on my tongue as I paced across the room, my hand pressed tightly against my forehead. Frustration built like a fire in my chest. I could feel the blood pounding in my ears, a steady reminder of the humiliation I couldn’t shake off.Freya stood by the edge of the window, her posture tense as she tried to calm me down. Her voice was soft, almost pleading. "You need to breathe, Cole. She's not that successful..."I spun around sharply. "I’m dead to my father!" I hissed, my voice rising. "You don’t get it, Freya. He’s going to think I’m weak. He’ll twist it all, like I let her outshine me, like I gave her the spotlight just to spite him."I clenched my jaw and stared out the window, fists tight at my sides. The image of Alaina standing victorious, cheered by the very wolves who once doubted her, made my skin crawl.Freya stepped closer, her hands gently cupping

  • Scarred By The Moon   Chapter 24: Beneath the Applause

    The Pack Games had come to an end, yet I couldn’t shake the unease clinging to me like a shadow. Despite the cheers and the praise, fear had settled deep in my bones, refusing to let go.As we returned to the Blackwood Pack territory, something had shifted. The energy in the air felt different—stronger, more united. The pack was warmer toward me now, as if the shared danger had woven invisible threads between us. I had earned a measure of their trust. Even Adrian, slow as he was to offer it, had begun to let down his guard around me.Still, the sense of peace was fragile. A whisper of dread lingered in my chest, refusing to be drowned out by the celebration.I wandered into the pack’s expansive kitchen, away from the laughter and music outside. The festivities raged on, but I couldn’t bring myself to join. The silence in the kitchen was a strange comfort, giving me space to breathe, to think—to remember.“Still sad?” a voice asked, cutting th

  • Scarred By The Moon   Chapter 23: The Weight of Victory

    I returned to the Grand Meadow venue still gripping the rogue’s severed head, its weight a grotesque reminder of what had just transpired. The moment I stepped into view, the crowd froze. Confusion rippled across most of their faces, but then, like a spark igniting dry leaves, The Blackwood Pack erupted into wild celebration. Cheers erupted from every direction, echoing across the open field with thunderous pride.But I couldn’t feel any of it.I stood at the center of their praise, hollow and numb. The head in my hands felt unreal, like a prop from a nightmare I hadn’t yet awakened from. Everyone else saw triumph, but all I felt was the phantom touch of the rogue’s claws, the coppery scent of blood, and the roar of survival thundering in my ears.On the main stage, Jayson stared down at me with an unreadable look, but it quickly twisted into scorn.“Well, would you look at that,” he drawled. “Some random girl did it.” His mocking laughter fo

  • Scarred By The Moon   Chapter 22: Claim the Kill

    AlainaIts roar splits through the trees, shaking the air and freezing my blood in place.“He’s targeting you because he thinks you’re the weakest,” Edith growled inside my head, her voice laced with anger and fear. The corrupted energy pouring off the rogue wolf wraps around me like smoke; dark, unnatural and suffocating.I instinctively take a step back.“You can’t run,” Edith hissed. “If you do, he wins.”I feel the shift trying to stir in me. My instincts scream to transform, to fight back, but it won’t happen. I can’t shift. Not yet.“Shit,” I mutter, my voice tight.“You’re a disgusting excuse for a rogue,” I spit toward the creature, though the sound of my voice is drowned out by another deafening roar. Still, I don’t retreat. I can’t. I shouldn’t be able to catch him, but I have to.And he knows. He can feel that I’m different. That I’m not like the others. That I have no wolf to protect me.
