“Smoke at the Border”

The war room felt colder than when we first entered. The tension hadn't eased—it had thickened. The fire crackled low in the hearth, its glow casting uneasy shadows across the map table as we waited.

Then came the knock.

The doors opened and the royal guards stepped in—three of them, their uniforms dusted with ash, their armor scratched from forest combat. I recognized Commander Elric by the way he held his helmet under his arm, jaw tight with failure. He wasn’t one to come bearing good news.

The Alpha didn’t sit. He stood beside the table, arms folded behind his back, head angled in command. I stayed at his side, silent, listening.

“Elric,” the Alpha said.

The commander bowed slightly. “We tracked the shooters to the southern ridge. They were fast and seemed trained. We c

  • Stronger Than Pain: From Beta To Luna   Chapter 58

    Alpha Conan’s POVThe Council chamber was a cavern of stone and judgment, the air thick with the scent of wax and old wood. My Pack’s elders sat in a semicircle, their faces grim, their wolves silent but watchful.Luna stood in the center, her wrists unbound now but her posture brittle, like a cornered animal. Her eyes burned with defiance, but I could smell the desperation on her, sharp and bitter. My wolf paced, eager to be done with this, to sever the tie that had bound us for too long. Maya was somewhere in the shadows, her presence a quiet anchor, and I drew strength from it as I faced the woman who’d nearly destroyed everything.I stood before the Council, my voice steady, cold as iron. “I’m here to formally divorce Luna Samira,” I said, my words echoing off the walls. “She’s betrayed the Pack, poisoned Maya, sent Jonathan to attack her. She’s no longer my mate, nor Luna of this Pack.”Luna’

  • Stronger Than Pain: From Beta To Luna   Chapter 57

    Alpha Conan’s POVThe pack house was dead quiet, the kind of late-night hush that made every creak feel like a threat. I couldn’t sleep, my wolf restless, urging me to check on Maya. The poison had left her fragile, and the thought of her vulnerable kept me on edge, pacing the halls like a caged animal. My boots echoed on the stone, the moonlight casting jagged shadows, when a faint scuffle near her chambers stopped me dead.My nose caught it, Jonathan, stinking of sweat and bad intentions. My wolf roared, fury blazing through me as I rounded the corner.There he was, sneaking toward her door, a knife glinting in his shaky hand. I didn’t think, I lunged, slamming him into the wall, my hand around his throat, claws pricking his skin. “You slimy bastard,” I growled, my voice low and raw. “You think you can get to her?”Jonathan’s eyes bugged out, his voice a pathetic sque

  • Stronger Than Pain: From Beta To Luna   Chapter 56

    Maya’s POVMy eyes fluttered open, the world blurry and heavy, like I was swimming through fog. My body felt like it weighed a ton, my limbs weak, my throat dry as sandpaper. I was in the healer’s room, the faint smell of herbs hitting me. Conan was there, slouched in a chair beside me, his hand wrapped around mine, his face haggard, like he hadn’t slept in days. His eyes snapped to mine, and the relief in them nearly broke me.“Maya,” he said, his voice rough, leaning forward so fast the chair creaked. “You’re awake. Thank the gods.”I tried to speak, but my voice came out a croak. “What… happened?”He squeezed my hand, his grip firm but careful. “You were poisoned. Nightshade in your stew. You’ve been out for three days.”“Three days?” I rasped, my head spinning. “Who…?”“Samira,” he growled, his eyes flashing with barely contained rage. “Her maid confessed. She’s done, Maya. She’ll pay.”I swallowed, my throat aching. “I should’ve seen it coming.”“Don’t,” he said, his voice sharp

  • Stronger Than Pain: From Beta To Luna   Chapter 55

    Alpha Conan’s POVJayden’s laughter rang out, high and bright, as he darted around, waving a stick like it was a mighty sword. Maya was right there with him, her dark hair loose and catching the light, her smile wide and unguarded as she pretended to dodge his “attacks.”My wolf hummed, content just watching her, the way her laugh lit up the space around us, making the battered pack house feel alive again.Henry sat nearby, quieter, but even he was smiling, tossing a pebble between his hands as he watched Jayden’s antics.“Daddy, save her!” Jayden called, pointing his stick at Maya, who clutched her chest dramatically, stumbling back like she’d been struck.“Oh, you got me, you little monster!” she gasped, collapsing onto the grass with an exaggerated groan. Jayden squealed, diving onto her, and she tickled him until he was a giggling mess. My chest ached, warm and full, seeing her like this, so free, so here. My wolf wanted to join them, to roll in the grass and soak up her joy, but

  • Stronger Than Pain: From Beta To Luna   Chapter 54

    Maya’s POVThe first light of dawn crept through the window, soft and pale, stirring something restless in me. My wolf was pacing, clawing at the edges of my mind, begging to break free.The pack house felt too small, its stone walls closing in, and the ache in my chest, the one that had Conan’s name written all over it, wasn’t helping. I slipped out of bed, pulling on a loose shirt and pants, my bare feet cold against the floor. The forest was calling, and I needed to run, to feel the earth under my paws and let my wolf burn off this tangled mess of feelings. I couldn't remember the last time I even shifted fully.I padded down the quiet halls, the Pack still asleep, and stepped into the garden. The air was crisp, smelling of dew and pine, and I was about to shift when a familiar scent hit me, warm, earthy, with a hint of cedar.Conan.My wolf perked up, tail wa

  • Stronger Than Pain: From Beta To Luna   Chapter 53

    Alpha Conan’s POVThe garden was alive with the late afternoon sun, its golden light spilling over the grass and warming the air with the scent of blooming jasmine and fresh earth. The pack house was still a mess, cracked stones and scattered debris from the battle, but out here, it felt like we could breathe. My warriors were off tending to repairs or resting, leaving the garden quiet except for the chatter of birds and the rustle of leaves. My focus, though, was on the small figure skulking near the hedge, half-hidden in the shadows.Henry, my son, stood there, his dark hair falling into his eyes, his shoulders hunched like he wanted to disappear. He was always like this, quiet, reserved, watching the world from a distance. My wolf whined, aching to pull him closer, to break through the walls he’d built. “Henry,” I called, my voice gentle but firm, carrying across the garden. “Come on out. Join us.”Hi
