I do not know what the Dark Silver Pack has in store for me, but I will not cower.
Whatever awaits me, I will survive.
Night had already fallen, and the journey dragged on endlessly. Every mile felt longer than the last, each shadow seeming to stretch toward me like fingers trying to pull me back. How much easier this would have been if I could shift — to run in my wolf form, to cover ground quickly and silently. But I could not, and so I trudged on, exhausted, yet determined.
The forest around me darkened with each step. The only sound was the creak of the carriage wheels on the road and the occasional call of distant wolves. My heart beat loudly in my chest, every thump echoing in my ears as though warning me of something I could not yet see. But no matter the fear, no matter the unknown, I would not break.
* Orion*
I burst out of the woods, my legs carrying me faster than I had ever moved before.
Then I smelled her.
Her scent struck me like fire — sweet, intoxicating, warm, and impossible to ignore. It pulled me forward with a force I had never felt, twisting my insides in ways I did not understand. For the first time, I felt tension in my chest, a nervousness that left me unable to calm my racing heart. My wolf, Ray, was equally restless, pacing and snarling beneath my skin, eager to break free, eager to reach her. I fought with all my strength to keep him under control.
Finally, I arrived at the pack gate. The white carriage stood there, glowing softly beneath the moonlight. Every instinct in me screamed to tear it open, to seize her, but I forced myself to stay still, my breath shallow and ragged. I could only wait, my eyes fixed on the door.
It opened slowly.
She stepped out.
Dressed in a white floral gown, her skin shone like polished ivory under the silver moonlight. Every feature — her high cheekbones, delicate nose, soft jawline — blended in perfect harmony, creating a beauty so timeless it seemed unreal. My eyes fell on her full, plump pink lips, and I swallowed hard, a heat rising through me as a desire I could not name took hold. If this was why the Moon Goddess had made me wait, then it was worth every second.
Ray nearly tore free, unable to contain himself. My hands shook as I turned and ran from the spot, desperate not to frighten her.
* Hazel*
A strange pull washed over me, almost magnetic in nature.
I kept glancing at a particular spot, though there was only darkness there. Something was drawing me forward, urging me to move closer, but I forced myself to ignore it. I had no choice but to feign ignorance and continue walking, though curiosity and fear battled inside me.
“This is Hazel, Alpha Bruno’s only daughter. I hope she will be properly taken care of. The Dark Silver Pack must keep to their word,” one of the guards said.
The other beside him only smiled. Then both left, leaving me alone in a world I did not recognize, where every shadow seemed alive and every sound carried meaning I could not decipher.
A tall man approached, and my pulse jumped.
“I am Shane, Beta of the Dark Silver Pack. May I know my lady’s name?” he asked, wearing a gentle yet dangerous smile, the kind that made me instinctively wary.
“I am Hazel,” I replied cautiously.
“Do not worry, my lady. These two will take care of you for now,” he said, gesturing to the two women approaching.
The women smiled softly. I had expected cruelty, but warmth greeted me instead.
They led me to a massive room, the very image of elegance and quiet luxury. White silk curtains framed polished floors, and a large bed dressed in snow-white linen looked soft, inviting, and impossibly peaceful.
“My name is Bella, and this is Mira. You look beautiful, my lady, and I love your outfit—”
“Bella,” Mira interrupted gently, “she needs to freshen up before night. Do not tire her.”
“You may call me Hazel,” I said with a small smile. “I am not used to ‘my lady.’”
“I’m afraid we cannot do that,” Bella replied with a bow.
“Then please do not bow to me,” I said, taking Mira’s hand. “It makes me uncomfortable. You may treat me as a friend. I never had one before leaving my pack.”
Both of them smiled warmly.
Unlike my former pack, these people seemed kind, welcoming even. The rumors I had heard about the Dark Silver Pack felt like lies. But I had not yet met the Alpha King, and the strange pull I had felt earlier lingered in my mind, whispering that my story had only just begun.

TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 46
The final chapter The pack celebration lasted for three days. From the moment the news of the Alpha heir spread, wolves from distant territories arrived — some on horseback, some in royal convoys, some by foot, each bringing gifts, blessings, and promises of loyalty to the newborn prince of the pack. The palace courtyard was transformed into a sea of lanterns and silver banners, the moon symbol glowing everywhere. Hazel stood beside Orion at the entrance of the hall, Rowan resting in her arms, wrapped in the white blanket her mother had woven for him. The cheers of the pack rose like thunder. Then Hazel saw them. Adrian and Mira stepped forward from the crowd, a little girl standing between them, her tiny hand clutched in Mira’s gown. The child’s dark curls bounced as she looked around with wide curious eyes. “Mira…” Hazel whispered. They met halfway, Hazel handing Rowan carefully to her mother before pulling Mira into a warm embrace. “I missed you,” Hazel said. Mira smiled
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 45
*Hazel* I lay on the hospital bed feeling both weak and strangely strengthened, as if something inside me had shifted forever. “Congratulations to us,” Ayla’s voice echoed inside my mind. I rolled my eyes, not in the mood for her games. “You shouldn’t mess with my mental health, Ayla. You weren’t there when that servant was trying to hurt me.” She laughed softly. “Exactly. I wanted you to face her yourself. And be careful, Hazel — our baby boy is still fragile.” I froze. “Baby… boy?” I whispered. “Ayla, don’t joke about this.” But she was already fading away. “You’ll see,” she said, leaving me with a racing heart and too many thoughts. Moments later, Orion walked in with a smile so wide it looked like he had just conquered the world. He leaned down and kissed my forehead. “Congratulations to us,” he said again. My eyes widened. “You too?” He laughed. “The doctor told me. We’re having a baby.” The room felt like it was glowing. I wrapped my arms around him, laughing and cry
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 44
*Hazel* Life had been good for a while. I had grown closer to Ayla, learning to control myself and protect my emotions. I had become stronger and more powerful. I often wondered if being Luna was truly worth it, especially when my personal life felt overwhelming. But I soon realized that without stability in my own life, I could never properly lead the pack as its Luna. So I became more consistent — checking on the servants, attending to their needs, visiting the pack’s children at their schools, and taking part in pack activities. It was exhausting at first, but I eventually found it enjoyable and always looked forward to it. Sometimes I even accompanied my mother when she delivered her handmade gifts and artwork. Today had been especially busy, and my body felt unusually weak. I decided to return early. I mindlinked Bella and Frost — the new servant who had replaced Mira. She had passed the final test and earned her position. While Bella arranged my room, I asked Frost to escor
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 43
*Orion* We hid within the bushes until night fell, waiting for the right moment to strike. This was the final mission — to eliminate their packhouse. They had become a plague to the surrounding packs: attacking borders, killing hunters, and committing unforgivable crimes against innocent wolves, especially young females. Many had tried to track them, but they were clever, hiding near the desert where no pack dared to remain for long. Tonight, it ended. When the moon stood high, I ignited the paper in my hand and sent it drifting toward the roof of the packhouse, channeling my power into the flame. The fire spread swiftly. The night glowed with heat and light as the structure was swallowed whole. *Hazel* We stood together and watched. Watched the home of monsters collapse into ash. Watched years of fear burn away. Watched justice take its final breath. No rogue pack remained. My heart was heavy — but for the first time since my father’s death, it was steady. Jus
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 42
*Hazel* The decision was made before the sun reached its peak. We would return to the desert. The desert that had swallowed my parents’ hope. The desert that hid the rogues from every pack. The desert that would now expose their sins. My mother stood beside me as we prepared. She was quiet, but there was a fire in her eyes I had never seen before. Not grief. Not fear. Resolve. “They always passed through the southern ridge,” she finally said. Orion lifted his head. “You’re certain?” “Yes. If I saw the one who killed my husband. I would recognize him anywhere.” My chest tightened. The wound in my heart reopened — but this time, it bled purpose. We rode before nightfall. The desert air was heavy and cruel, but we pushed on. Wolves shifted when needed. The sand cut at our legs, the wind clawed at our faces, yet none of us slowed. We followed the route my mother remembered. Every turn… every ridge… until at last— “There,” she whispered. Her hand trembled as she poin
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 41
*Hazel* I woke up the next morning feeling the warmth of Orion beside me. The sunlight streamed faintly through the curtains, and I could hear the soft breathing of his wolf echoing in my mind. I stretched languidly, smiling at the scent of him filling the room. My legs were still sore from yesterday, but my body craved him again. “Morning, my lady,” he murmured, nudging me with his nose playfully. I giggled and pounced on him, tangling my fingers in his hair, tugging him closer. He growled low in his throat, rolling us both onto the bed. My hands roamed his body while his hands kneaded mine, the heat building quickly. After several stolen kisses and soft moans, we finally disentangled, laughing breathlessly. I slipped into the bathroom, my body aching but yearning for normalcy. The water cascaded over me, washing away yesterday’s tension. Orion was nowhere near silent either, teasing me through the steam, catching my attention with glances and fleeting touches. I dressed in a sim
