THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Six: What the Years Still Held
The snow had fallen throughout the town and covered the land.Selene placed her hands on the stone railing and looked down at the snowflakes falling onto the roofs and the courtyard. This area always looked so different in the winter.It had been years since she had returned, and every decision had felt like it could decide someone's life. Now, though, the gates were open, the patrols were on normal schedules, and there was no rush as people ran through the courtyard with news of another attack.She wasn't sure if she would ever get used to it.The door creaked open.Kael stepped out, shaking the snow off his shoulders. His hair was starting to speckle with silver. Especially around his temples. But his eyes still held that warmth she fell in love with.He walked over to join her."You thinking?""About everything.""You must be exhausted."Selene laughed."I was just thinking how much has changed. We fought so hard for this territory for years, and now I can come up here and spend th
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Five: What Marina Chose
Marina found Selene in the garden, a pair of teacups in hand."Here." Selene paused in reading her book and accepted a cup of tea from her Aunt. "You seem quiet today."Marina smiled gently. "I've been offered a job."Selene shut her book."What kind of job?""It's an executive position leading their new research centre out in the east. I would be overall in charge of the whole operation,n so I will be heading up all the research teams and development. It's a permanent role."Marina was excited."It means I would have access to all the resources I need to continue the work I have dedicated the last fifteen years to. It's something I've really wanted."Selene smiled."That sounds amazing!"She really did.Selene's eyes were caught by one thing as Marina explained the details."Will you be working out there?""Yes. I would have to move there permanently."Selene gripped her mug tighter."Oh."Marina looked at her."That's not what you like, is it?""No, I just don't really want you to g
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Four: The Whole Story
The hall was packed.Every seat was filled with scholars, dignitaries, pack members, and representatives from fifteen territories as they waited to listen to Selene speak.Selene stood backstage with Kael, Aria, and Marina as she read over her notes.Her notes weren’t really necessary because she knew exactly what she wanted to talk about; however...Her hands rubbed the edges of the paper."Are you nervous?" Kael asked, taking her hand."No. Oddly enough, I don’t think I am. I feel like I’ve been preparing for this ever since the Thane first mentioned the hearing would be happening. Everything happened so fast, and we barely had any time to comprehend what was happening."She looked down at her notes."I can finally give everyone the full story and actually take my time to talk about everything."Thane was nearby, and whilst he had helped her prepare for the presentation, being the new official historian for the consortium, he had also seen a lot of what she would be talking about."
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Three: What the Consortium Becomes
Five years on from the last major threshold crisis, things had changed in Ashwood.Travellers from far reaches of the territories visited. Scholars who had previously been unwilling to share their knowledge were coming to share their research. An organisation much bigger than anyone could have ever imagined was being formed.On a warm summer morning, Selene stood in front of the biggest gathering of the consortium.Fifteen territories were present. Scholars from institutions all around the known world were present, with their notebooks open and ready.Many were familiar faces; some had been part of the beginning, when it was only a small number of people forming an agreement. Others had joined later.Some were even former enemies.It was still hard to believe.Veyra stepped forward, holding a pile of reports."We have thirty-one thresholds that are properly recorded. Twenty-three are stable and being sustainably monitored. We have six that need to be monitored still, but they are show
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Two: What Thane Finally Admitted
Thane had been visiting Ashwood more often lately.At first, Selene assumed the extra trips were related to council business. There were always documents to review, disputes to settle, or some official who needed convincing that a reasonable compromise was better than another month of arguing.But the visits continued even when there was no urgent matter to discuss.Sometimes Thane stayed for dinner. Other times, he asked after the family before leaving, as though the question mattered as much as whatever had brought him there.Selene noticed. She simply waited for him to explain.One evening, she found him in the study, seated behind the desk with a stack of correspondence spread before him. He had been staring at the same page long enough for the candle beside him to burn low, and when she entered, he barely looked up."You're going to wear a hole through that paper if you keep staring at it."Thane blinked and glanced down."I beg your pardon?""The letter. You've been looking at i
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA Chapter One Hundred Twenty-One: What Edrick Built
Edrick announced his retirement over dinner, halfway through an ordinary autumn evening at Ashwood.He set down his fork and looked around the table.“Thirty years of service to this family. First as my brother’s advisor, watching him make decisions I should have challenged. Then as this pack’s investigator, trying to earn back trust I nearly destroyed.”He paused, turning his glass between his fingers.“I think it’s time I stopped working and learned how to rest.”Kael studied him across the table. “You’ve earned it. Who takes over the liaison role?”“I’ve recommended Finn. He’s sharp, patient, and far better at dealing with council bureaucracy than I ever was. He’s shadowed me for two years. He’s ready.”“Does he know that?” Selene asked.Edrick gave a dry smile. “He’s still hoping I’ll change my mind.”Kael laughed. “Then you should have told him sooner.”“I wanted to enjoy one last evening without someone asking me to explain a council procedure.”Selene smiled, but her attention
