THE ALPHA FIERCE LUNA

CHAPTER TWOI woke in a dimly lit room, the scent of smoke and pine clinging to the air like an uninvited guest.Rough wood beams lined the ceiling, and soft golden light filtered through linen curtains. The warmth from a nearby fireplace wrapped around me like a blanket. It smelled clean. Earthy. Masculine.Like him.Memories of last night slammed into me. My heart thundered.I shot upright—and pain exploded in my shoulder and abdomen.I gasped, biting down a scream.“Careful,” said a voice beside me.I whipped my head toward the sound, nearly spraining my neck. An older woman stood there, tall, olive-skinned, with long hair braided down her back. She held a basin of water and a washcloth. Her face? Completely unreadable.“You’re safe,” she said, setting the bowl down.I narrowed my eyes. “Define safe.”A humorless smile tugged at her lips. “Alive. Warm. Not bleeding out in the forest. That’s a good start.”I threw off the blanket and swung my legs over the edge of the bed, ignoring

I didn’t sleep.Kael’s words haunted me, threading through the dark like a spell I couldn’t break.“Some truths are too dangerous to speak in daylight.”He was hiding something. Not just from me—but from himself. And now I was caught in the middle of it, torn between the prophecy I never asked for and the power I never wanted.I sat curled on the edge of the bed, the old sweatshirt swallowing me whole. His scent lingered on the fabric—pine, smoke, and something else I couldn’t name. It clung to my skin, stirred my wolf, made me feel things I didn’t understand.Trust. Longing. Rage.I rose before dawn, pacing the room like a caged animal. My wolf was restless, pacing with me, ears pricked and breath sharp. She wanted to run. I couldn’t. Not yet. Not until I understood the danger I was facing—or the danger I was becoming.A knock broke the silence. Three short raps. Not Kael.“Come in,” I said.The door creaked open and a girl stepped in with a tray in her hands, dressed in a maid's uni

The training ground smelled like dust, blood, and ego.I have been training for the past three days after the council meeting, under the supervision of Kael. Something about how I need to prepare myself from any situation. So far I hate it here especially the bitch Nyra and the weird stares from the pack, not that i can’t handle but it is exhausting. I stood in the middle of the arena, surrounded by wolves who were supposedly Kael’s elite warriors. Their eyes lingered on me with skepticism, not just because I was new—but because I was me. The she-wolf Kael refused to let go. The one the Black Ash Council whispered about behind closed doors.The one with too much fire.“Again,” Kael’s voice rang through the open field. I breathed hard, sweat clinging to my neck as I faced Jane, my opponents, who had proven more skilled than she looked. My punches were too wild. I was too impatient. My power wasn’t responding the way it had before.My wolf was pacing, agitated beneath my skin.“You’re

The forest was quiet, too quiet for my liking. I staggered between the twisted roots and trees, my legs heavy as if they were made of stone. Every breath I took burned in my chest, but I forced myself to move. I can still hear the sounds of howls coming behind me. My hands tremble with the memory of what I had done. Five men, their screams still clung to my ears, their blood on my nails are a constant reminder of what went down earlier. I didn’t mean to kill them, I’m not a murderer. My power had surged through me like a storm with no mercy overtaking all my senses, and the adrenaline washed over me. I walked past a cluster of abandoned huts. Voices trailed behind me “She is the curse girl”. They whispered their voices laced with fear and terror, they spoke of me like I’m a monster, like their worst nightmare is coming true, now the rumors have begun. I moved past all that heading deep inside a forest, tired and dehydrated, I pressed my back against a tree and slid down to the d

The forest hadn’t changed since he vanished. Silent. Still. But I couldn’t shake the weight of his eyes on me, golden and burning as though they had left an imprint beneath my skin.My stomach growled a sign of hunger, exhaustion washing over me, I changed into my wolf, careful not to be caught, I needed to hunt, if not I would die of hunger before being taken by the Alpha king’s men. My wolf howl excited of been free, we took of hunting, trying to catch any thing we can make due of, I heard a little rustling ahead of me, running to that place carefully not to spook any potential meal of, I caught sight of a deer close to a small lake, lunging for the neck I took a big chunk of it, killing it and feeding from it my wolf purr, it been long we hunt and eat a good meal. I change back to my human form, walking into the lake to wash myself and the little rag I have, of course can't be identified as cloth anymore. Feeling content and relieved for the first time in the past few days. My mom
