THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Twenty-Four: A Debt Repaid
Kael broke the wax seal himself, unfolding the letter with visible reluctance, reading it once in silence before his expression shifted into something unreadable. Selene watched his eyes move across the page, searching his face for any sign of the trap she half expected to find hidden in Ronan's careful diplomacy."What does it say?" Selene asked, stepping closer despite the late hour and Aria's sleeping form just beyond the wall.Kael read aloud, voice carefully neutral despite the tension coiling visibly through his shoulders.Alpha Voss, Miss Ashford —My scouts found your Lyra Reyes fleeing near our shared border tonight, wounded and pursued by Vale's remaining forces. I imagine there's a story behind that which neither of you has told me. She is currently under my protection, unharmed, though I suspect she won't remain safe indefinitely if Vale learns where she's taken shelter.I am willing to return her to Ashwood immediately, no conditions attached beyond what basic courtesy de
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Twenty-Three: The Empty Room
Selene was running before she'd fully processed what she'd heard, Kael a half-step behind her despite his bandaged ribs, both of them tearing down the corridor toward the sound of that small, frightened voice. Every fragile ounce of peace from the last hour evaporated instantly, replaced by pure animal terror.The nursery — rebuilt hastily in a spare room since the fire — stood with its door wide open, the small bed inside rumpled and empty, a stuffed wolf toy abandoned on the floor exactly where it had fallen."Aria?" Selene's voice cracked as she spun through the room, searching every shadow, every corner, refusing to let herself think the worst.A soft whimper answered from the hallway closet, and Selene wrenched the door open to find Aria curled inside, knees pulled to her chest, eyes wide with terror."You're here," Selene breathed, dropping to her knees, pulling the girl into her arms. "You're safe. What happened? Where did you go?""I heard someone in my room," Aria whispered,
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Twenty-Two: What Remains
The healer's quarters smelled of herbs and smoke, and Selene sat on the edge of the cot beside Kael, watching the healer's steady hands stitch the last of the gash along his ribs. Outside, the sounds of the pack cleaning up after the attack still drifted faintly through the walls — hammering, quiet voices, the occasional burst of relieved laughter that only ever came after surviving something that shouldn't have been survivable."You're lucky this didn't go deeper," the healer said, tying off the final stitch with brisk efficiency. "Another inch and you'd be explaining to your pack why their Alpha needed a healer's miracle instead of her needle.""Noted," Kael said dryly, though he winced as she pressed a poultice against the wound.Selene reached for his hand once the healer stepped away to prepare bandages, lacing their fingers together with a gentleness that felt strange after the violence of the night. The bond between them had settled into something steadier now — not the frantic
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Twenty-One: An Uninvited Alliance
For one suspended moment, no one moved — Vale wounded and retreating, Ronan's forces flooding through the broken gates, Ashwood's exhausted warriors uncertain whether they'd just gained reinforcements or a second enemy entirely. Even the wounded seemed to hold their breath, waiting to see which way the night would tip."Alpha Voss." Ronan's voice carried easily across the chaos, calm and measured despite the violence surrounding him. "It appears I've arrived at an interesting moment.""Convenient timing," Kael said, blood still streaming from the gash along his ribs, gold-flecked eyes narrowed with suspicion even as exhaustion visibly dragged at him. "Explain yourself, or leave the way you came.""My scouts reported Lycan movement toward Ashwood hours ago," Ronan said. "I came prepared for exactly this possibility, whatever you choose to believe about my motives." He gestured, and his warriors surged forward past him, engaging the remaining scattered Lycan fighters with brutal efficie
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Twenty: Blood on the Walls
Ashwood's courtyard had become a battlefield by the time they reached it — Lycan wolves pouring through breaches in the outer wall, Ashwood's warriors meeting them with desperate, coordinated fury, the air thick with smoke and blood and the terrible symphony of a pack fighting for its life. Bodies already littered the courtyard, some moving, some horribly still, and Selene forced herself not to look too closely at either."Selene, stay behind me," Kael shouted, already shifting mid-stride, black fur rippling into place as he tore into the nearest attacker.She didn't listen. She never had, not really, and this was no time to start.Selene shifted too, wolf and woman merging into something fierce and certain in a way it hadn't been even a week ago, and threw herself into the fight beside him, claiming a Lycan wolf twice her size with a ferocity that surprised even her. Every ounce of the twenty years she'd spent hiding this part of herself seemed to burn away in an instant, replaced by
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter Nineteen: The Horn Sounds
"When?" Kael's voice was sharp as he moved toward the gates despite his exhaustion; the note crumpled in his fist. "When did she leave?" Even bone-tired from the ritual, he moved with the coiled urgency of a man who hadn't allowed himself to fully process one crisis before the next one arrived."Sometime before dawn," Marcus said, struggling to keep pace. "One of the guards saw her walking toward the eastern tree line alone. He assumed she was patrolling. No one thought to stop her.""Why would they?" Selene said grimly. "She's pack. She helped save those pups yesterday.""That's what worries me," Kael said. "If Vale has something on her — the same kind of leverage he used on the scout, or worse — she wouldn't have needed to sneak past guards who trusted her completely. That's exactly the kind of access a compromised insider would have."Selene's stomach twisted with the memory of Lyra's hostility that first night, the strange, grief-laced way she'd said "after everything" when Kael f
