"What a success," Freya murmured as she sipped her wine, lounging on the couch in her chamber. Her eyes remained fixed on me, heavy with unspoken thoughts that pressed against my chest.

"I only want what's best for you, babe," she added, her voice soft.

"Damn it, it didn't help at all," I muttered, running my fingers through my hair. Frustration burned beneath my skin as I paced the room, shaking my head. Freya's eyes followed me, confusion creeping into her gaze.

"What are you talking about?" She stood abruptly, setting her glass aside as she crossed her arms over her chest, searching my face.

"You didn't appreciate my suggestion? We cut off their ties with Huntington Pack. It must be hitting them hard right now," she said, her voice gentling as she tried to soothe me.

I moved closer, shaking my head. "You're right, but it is taking too long. Dad is watching every step I take. I messed up, Freya. I shouldn't have dragged yo

  • Scarred By The Moon   Chapter 66: "Please Don't Leave Me"

    Alaina’s POVIssac and Lucious moved with quiet urgency, lowering Adrian carefully onto the bed. His breathing was ragged, every exhale a reminder of the blood staining his shirt. His eyes squeezed shut, caught between pain and the exhaustion pulling him toward darkness.I could not stop the tears from falling as I held onto his hand, pressing it firmly against my cheek, willing my warmth to seep into him. Relief that he was alive clashed violently with the fear that he might not wake up again.“This is all my fault.” My whisper broke under the weight of guilt, and my tears fell faster, tracing hot lines down my face as they dripped onto our joined hands.“Alaina.” Issac’s voice was softer now, careful, as though he was trying to coax me away from the cliff I was standing on. “You need to take a breath, okay? He needs you to be calm.”I shook my head, refusing to look away from Adrian’s face. “I can’t calm down, not until I know he’s goin

  • Scarred By The Moon   Chapter 65: "Don't Frighten Me Like This"

    Alaina’s POV“It might be wise to confine her,” I said, my voice cautious as I watched Adrian’s lips curl into an unsettling smile that didn’t reach his eyes.He let out a low, husky chuckle. “God, I love that about you,” he murmured, almost to himself.But the fragile moment shattered instantly when Freya’s deep growl tore through the air. Her eyes glowed a violent red before she spun around and sprinted into the dense forest.“No!” Adrian roared, frustration tightening every muscle in his body as he bolted after her.Fear seized my chest, cold and sharp, as I chased after him into the dark embrace of the forest. I could not shift into my wolf form, but that did not matter now. All I could think about was keeping him safe, even if I had to run on trembling human legs.Branches tore at my arms as I pushed forward, lungs burning, when suddenly someone stepped into my path.“Grace?” I gasped, nearly stumbling as I skidded

  • Scarred By The Moon   CHAPTER 64: “Jealousy Cuts Deep”

    Alaina’s POVI never expected Adrian to step in, let alone stand at my side with his gaze locked on Freya, shielding me from the whispers and curious eyes surrounding us.“You don’t understand!” Freya shouted, her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white. “I put it in the newspaper that she cursed everything around her. You could be cursed too, Alpha! Let me help you before it is too late.”Adrian’s eyes narrowed, his expression tightening with disbelief. “Have you lost your mind?” he asked, each word carrying the weight of a slap. He looked at her like she was something he could not comprehend, a puzzle that made no sense.I drew in a shaky breath, trying to keep my voice steady even though my heart thundered in my chest. “Freya, enough of this nonsense. You can still stop before you cross a line you can’t come back from.”Adrian turned to me, his jaw tightening as disappointment flickered across his features. “So you sti

  • Scarred By The Moon   CHAPTER 63: "Is This What You Wanted?"

    Alaina's POV“Please, don’t be afraid,” one of the guards told me quickly, trying to sound reassuring but failing miserably. “We have strict orders not to harm you. There will be consequences for us if we do. You’re only needed to address the pack outside, that’s all.”My stomach dropped, a heavy wave of dread flooding me. “Oh no, no, no…”“I’m sorry, but you don’t have a choice here,” the other guard interjected sharply, grabbing my arm with a grip that left no room for protest. They led me forward, my feet stumbling as they dragged me through the stone halls toward the courtyard.Outside, a restless sea of faces and raised voices greeted me. Their accusations and questions tore through the air, each word a blade against my skin.“Is it true? Are you some kind of hybrid? A witch-wolf abomination?”“How could you be so heartless? Did you kill a child?”“Do you feel nothing at all?”The words slammed into me, lea

  • Scarred By The Moon   Chapter 62: “Tell Me It Isn’t True”

    Alaina – POV"Alaina?" Adrian’s voice carried a fragile yearning that hit me like a wave. His eyes met mine, searching and pleading, asking the question his lips couldn’t frame. Though the scandalous lies in the newspaper sat between us like a chasm, he looked at me as if needing to believe anything but what was printed.My lips parted, but no words came. My thoughts were tangled, my chest tight. I swallowed hard, forcing air into my lungs. What could I even say?But before I could gather myself, Issac broke the silence. “Alpha, why are you ignoring this?” His tone was sharper now, laced with concern as he stepped forward. “That newspaper… it’s not just gossip. There’s real footage, real clips from that banquet. People are outside. Furious. Demanding answers. You were there.”My body flinched at his words. The pressure in the room mounted like a storm brewing. My stomach turned, and my heart thudded against my ribs. I stood abruptly, emotions boil

    Alaina's POVI didn't stop myself from kissing Adrian because I felt weak or lost in the aftermath of betrayal. It wasn't just a reckless impulse. It was something deeper. Something I can't quite name. The pull I feel toward Adrian is irresistible, it's a force that consumes me every time we're close.The mere thought of him kissing someone else sends a sharp pain through my chest. It loops in my mind like a cruel melody, haunting me even when I try to shove it away. I can’t explain it clearly, and truthfully, I don’t want to try.
