THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Ninety-Eight: What Marina Knew
The cottage had grown quiet by the time Marina began to speak.Aria had fallen asleep beside the fire, curled beneath a wool blanket with one hand tucked under her cheek. Kael kept watch near the window, occasionally glancing toward the dark lane outside.Selene sat across from her aunt at a small wooden table. Two cups of tea stood between them, both untouched.For twenty years, Selene had imagined asking a hundred questions. Now Marina was here, close enough to touch, and Selene couldn't decide which question to ask first.“I ran the night of the massacre,” Marina said. She held her cup between both hands, though the tea had stopped steaming. “Your mother insisted. She said one of us had to survive carrying what we knew, in case the other didn’t make it out.”Selene watched her face. “What did you know?”“That the massacre wasn’t only about Kael’s father and his fear of the prophecy.” Marina looked down at the tea. “That’s the story everyone eventually settled on. It was simple enou
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Woman at the Gates
Selene recognised her the moment she stepped into the torchlit courtyard.The same dark hair. The same travel-worn satchel held against her chest. Ines looked much as she had the first desperate night at Ronan’s camp, though the strain around her eyes had deepened and dust dulled the hem of her coat.“Ines,” Selene said. “What did you just say?”Ines swallowed. She looked as though she had rehearsed this moment across hundreds of miles and still couldn’t find a way to make the words easier.“Marina. Your aunt.” Her fingers tightened around the satchel strap. “She’s alive, Selene. I’ve known for months. I only just found the courage to tell you.”Kael’s hand closed around Selene’s. His thumb pressed once against her knuckles, a small, steadying touch. It did nothing to stop the courtyard from tilting beneath her feet.“Corvain told us she died,” Selene said. The words came out thin. “Protecting some piece of a secret. Why would she lie about that?”“Because it served her,” Ines replied
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Ninety-Six: What Remained to Mend
Three weeks after Rosalind’s defeat, Ashwood still smelled of fresh-cut timber, wet mortar, and smoke trapped in the cracks of damaged stone.Rebuilding was slow. Some mornings, Selene hauled broken beams from the courtyard until her palms ached. By afternoon, she was buried in council correspondence about Rosalind’s trial, sorting through reports that seemed to multiply whenever she looked away.Evenings were different. For the first time in months, no disaster demanded every minute of her attention. She could sit beside a window without watching the door or eat a meal without someone arriving with urgent news.She was still learning what to do with that kind of freedom.The pack had thrown itself into repairing Ashwood. They had spent so long protecting what remained that building something new felt almost unfamiliar. Yet every repaired wall and replaced window made the future a little easier to imagine.Then Marcus and Lyra got married.Their ceremony took place in the partially re
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Ninety-Five: What Rosalind Lost
“It’s closed.”Veyra kept both hands against the black stone, watching silver light settle into its veins. Her fingers trembled from the strain, but the glow held steady.“Fully sealed. She can’t breach it again. Not after this.”Selene released a breath she hadn’t realised she was holding. The air smelled of frost and damp stone. Around her, pack members formed a loose circle, their eyes fixed on Rosalind, who stood motionless in the centre of the chamber.No one approached her.For a thousand years, Rosalind had made other people move according to her plans. Now she stood surrounded by people who had every reason to fear her and no reason to trust her.“A thousand years,” Rosalind murmured.Her gaze stayed on the sealed door.“A thousand years of patience, calculation, sacrifice. And a child’s stubborn kindness undid it in a single afternoon.”“It wasn’t just Aria,” Selene said.Rosalind looked up.“It was all of us. Together. That’s the part you never accounted for.”For once, Rosa
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Ninety-Four: The Weight of a Promise Kept
The door widened another inch.A dry groan rolled through the chamber as the black stone shifted. Frost spilt from the gap and crept over the floor, whitening the edges of Selene’s boots. Cold seeped beneath her sleeves and made her fingers ache.Beyond the opening, something stirred.Selene couldn’t see it. She could feel the attention turning toward them, old and hungry, as if the thing on the other side had been waiting for the smallest sign that their hold was failing.“Aria, no—”Kael’s warning came too late.Aria had closed her eyes. Her hand remained locked in Selene’s, but the girl’s fingers trembled against hers. Beneath Aria’s skin, a faint violet-blue glow flickered, barely visible now, a remnant of the connection she had surrendered when the Wardens took her place in the binding.Selene tightened her grip.“Aria, you don’t know what will happen if you reach for it.”“I know I’m not going back inside.” Aria’s voice strained around each word. “I’m just… knocking. Reminding i
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Ninety-Three: The Fourth Warden
The celebration stopped before Selene understood why.A moment earlier, the chamber had been full of shaky laughter and relief. Now every face had turned toward the black door. Gold still ran through its silver and violet veins, but the light kept faltering, brightening and dimming as though something beyond the seal were testing it.Veyra pulled her hand from the stone. The glow around her fingers thinned.“That’s not possible.”Selene looked from Veyra to the door, still trying to believe the binding had worked—that she and Aria were no longer carrying its weight.“The binding is sealed,” Veyra said. “Three Wardens, properly anchored. Nothing should be able to breach it.”“Nothing except another Warden.”The voice came from inside the chamber.Frost spread across the floor, branching around the bases of the old pillars. The temperature dropped so quickly Selene felt it in her teeth. In the open space between the door and the gathered pack, a woman took shape.Rosalind stood as if sh
