“Close your eyes.”

I crossed my arms. “What is this, some kind of meditation trick?”

Lucian’s gaze hardened. “Close them, or I’ll close them for you.”

Growling under my breath, I obeyed.

“Now breathe,” he said. “Slow. Even. Feel the air in your lungs. Hold it. Release it. Again.”

It sounded ridiculous. I was the girl who’d burned soldiers alive, who was whispered about as cursed. And here I was, sitting in the dirt, breathing like a child learning patience.

But as I drew in the air, something shifted. Beneath my skin, the wild storm stirred, restless, hungry. The more I focused on each breath, the more I felt it pushing back, testing the walls I was trying to build around it.

My hands trembled, faint sparks lighting my fingertips.“Good,” Lucian murmured, close enough that his presence grounded me. “Don’t fight it. Let it rise, but keep it in your grasp. Like holding a blade by the hilt instead of the edge.”

I clenched my fists tighter. The heat threatened to spill over, to swa

  • THE ALPHA FIERCE LUNA   CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN

    SERENA’S POV The sky was still gray when the first horn split the silence. This time, it wasn’t a call to prepare. It was the alarm. I sat bolt upright, heart already racing, as Kael threw aside the furs. Outside, the camp was alive with sound boots pounding the ground, wolves barking orders, the metallic hiss of swords drawn from their sheaths. The earth itself seemed to tremble. “They’re here.” Kael’s voice was a growl, sharp and cold as steel. We dressed quickly, and I followed him into the yard. The air was raw with smoke. From the eastern ridge, black plumes rose into the dim dawn, carried by the wind like an omen. The Alpha King’s army had come. Lines of warriors filled the clearing, three packs standing as one. Torren’s wolves adjusted their weapon, Lucious’s men tightened their grips on heavy shields, and Kael’s soldiers stood at the front, grim and unflinching. The unity we had built now forged itself into a wall of resolve. Kael’s voice cut across the chaos. “Positio

  • THE ALPHA FIERCE LUNA   CHAPTER NINETY-SIX

    SERENA’S POVThe first cry of the horn split the dawn.I jolted awake, Kael’s arm tightening around me instinctively before he stirred. The room was still dim, the faintest gray of morning leaking through the shutters, but the sound was unmistakable a summons. The signal that the day of preparation had begun.Kael’s eyes opened, storm-dark and sharp even from sleep. For a moment, the softness of last night lingered between us, but then duty slid over him like armor. He brushed a kiss against my temple before rising.“Today, we are ready with the pack,” he said, voice low but steady. “Every wolf will know their place in the coming fight by nightfall.”I dressed quickly, my hands trembling as I tied the laces of my tunic. Not with fear, no, not anymore but with the restless energy of knowing we stood on the edge of history.When we stepped outside, the entire stronghold was already stirring. Fires roared in the open pits where breakfast was being cooked, the scent of smoke and meat ming

  • THE ALPHA FIERCE LUNA   CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE

    SERENA’S POV Night had fallen, but the packhouse was alive with light. Torches and lanterns bathed the courtyard in gold, turning the wooden tables into gleaming rivers of food and wine. The smell of roasted meat, honeyed bread, and spiced cider filled the air, so thick and warm it felt like you could drink it. Somewhere in the distance, a flute trilled, accompanied by the beat of a hand drum. I stood at the edge of it all for a moment, watching. Wolves from three different packs mingled together, laughing, sharing mugs of ale, telling stories. There was no tension, no wary stares, only the strange and beautiful sight of warriors who would be on the battlefield tomorrow, sitting side by side tonight. Kael came up behind me, his hand brushing my lower back. “You did this,” he said softly, his voice full of something that felt dangerously like pride. “We did this,” I corrected, turning to meet his gaze. “You gave them something to fight for, Kael. Tonight just reminds them why.” T

  • THE ALPHA FIERCE LUNA   CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR

    SERENA’S POV The morning came soft and golden, as though the moon herself had granted us this one quiet day. For the first time in weeks, the air didn’t taste like tension. The packhouse was alive with sound, the clatter of pots and pans from the kitchen, the thud of footsteps rushing through the hallways, the chatter of women and children as they carried baskets of vegetables and freshly baked loaves. I stood at the top of the stairs for a moment, simply taking it in. The smell of roasted meat drifted up, mingling with the earthy scent of bread and herbs. Laughter echoed from the courtyard below, where warriors were stringing garlands of pine and holly along the wooden posts. “This feels strange,” I said softly when Kael came up behind me, his arm slipping easily around my waist. “Strange good?” he asked, his lips brushing my temple. I leaned into him. “Strange… peaceful.” He hummed, the sound rumbling through his chest. “That’s the point. Tonight is for them as much as for us

  • THE ALPHA FIERCE LUNA   CHAPTER NINETY-THREE

    SERENA’S POV The horns still echoed through the forest when Kael and I reached the gates, Alpha Torren arrived a day before the agreed-upon date. Mist clung to the ground, curling like ghostly fingers around the roots of the great pines. The air was sharp, electric, and filled with the sound of movement, paws thundering, armor clinking, low growls vibrating through the trees. “Open the gates,” Kael commanded, his voice carrying like thunder. The massive wooden doors creaked as they swung outward. And then they came. Alpha Torren’s wolves emerged from the forest in perfect formation, dozens upon dozens of them, their pelts dark and silver, their armor polished until it caught the rising sun. Behind them came his soldiers in human form, carrying spears, shields, and banners bearing Torren’s crest. It was not just an army, it was a statement. The ground trembled under their approach. At the center rode Alpha Torren himself, tall and broad-shouldered, with a presence that demanded

  • THE ALPHA FIERCE LUNA   CHAPTER NINETY-TWO

    SERENA’S POV Weeks passed, and the pack changed with them. The sound of swords clashing became the rhythm of every dawn. The smell of sweat and steel clung to the training grounds. Every day, Lucious drilled Kael’s warriors harder, sharpening them into a force that could meet the Alpha King head-on. But tonight was different. I stood by the window of our room, brushing ash and dirt from my palms, watching the last of the sunset bleed over the horizon. The sky looked bruised, like it knew what was coming. Behind me, Kael’s low voice broke the quiet. “A raven came today.” I turned. He was seated at the table, the letter already open in his hands. His expression was unreadable, but his shoulders had eased just slightly. “What does it say?” I asked, my heart thudding. He looked at me then, something fierce and warm in his eyes. “Alpha Torren agrees. He will march his warriors toward Black Ash in a few days.” Relief hit me so hard I had to grip the windowsill. “So… we won
