THE GRAVE OF GREY AND GOLD THE REGENT'S PANIC
CHAPTER 18 The Weight of an Empty CrownPOV: Elara I sat and leaned against a mountain of pillows; the hospital bed was adjusted to an incline so I didn't feel like I was drowning. The Northern air carried along a chill that felt sharp, like it was trying to flay the skin from my bones. My laptop weighed heavily as it lay on my lap. If not for the heat from the cooling fans, then my thighs would go numb.I reached for my phone. It was buzzing non-stop. Notifications were scrolling past like a digital frantic pulse. I had managed to somehow still have access to the back door of the pack’s private server.The Alpha has been detained. There’s a Security breach at Western Gate. Ivy is demanding an emergency council.I watched a video clip someone had uploaded to a secure forum. It was shaky, maybe filmed on a burner phone from the edge of the clearing. It sho

CHAPTER 17 Engaging The Citizen, Not the WolfPOV: Elara It was snowing. I spent the whole morning watching the snow drift past the glass. Each flake was a tiny reminder of how much I hated the cold. It was quiet here, too quiet, no psychic thrum of the Crescent Pack’s collective anxiety vibrating in my teeth. I lay there lifeless, felt like a ghost haunting my own ribcage.My chest started hitching; a familiar, wet rattling sound echoed in the room. I reached for a plastic cup of water on the bedside table, but my hand gave out halfway there. My fingers felt like they were made of dry porcelain, brittle and uncooperative. I tried to stretch out my arm again, but in vain."Dammit," I hissed, the word catching on a lump of phlegm Silas watched her from the doorway, his arms crossed over his massive chest. He didn't rush to help her. He knew Elara Vance. He knew that to offer her a glass of water right now would be an insult she would never forgive. He watch

CHAPTER 16 The Ghost In The MachinePOV: ElaraMy eyelids opened slowly as the cool air brushed my skin. Right from the ceiling, my eyes started to scan through the room.Had Roman found me? Had he taken me back to the Crescent Estate…. Oh my days!! ….This can’t be happening. Then I looked around again, this time carefully. Then flashbacks before my black out flooded in. Silas. He had saved me. He saw me weak but wasn’t frightened; he had compassion in his eyes. That look that said, ‘let me take it from here, you’ve done enough.’ That’s all I remembered before everything turned black. Everywhere was silent. No noise, no chaos. I was in the Northern Citadel.For a long time, my head had been crowded with Roman’s emotions. His irritation felt like a low-frequency hum, his lust like a greasy film over my skin, and his Alpha-arrogance like a weight on my chest. But here, I felt peace. I had almost forgotten what it was like. Even the bond was nothi
THE GRAVE OF GREY AND GOLD THE MOTHER'S RESIGNATION
CHAPTER 15 The Empty Seat at the Head of the TableThe silence in the Crescent Estate was no longer peaceful. It was empty. The kind that would haunt you in sleep. It felt like the heart had forgotten its rhythm and stopped beating, leaving the rest of the body to wither.Roman stood in the centre of Elara’s study. Her scent lingered there, that expensive, crisp jasmine, and the faint, metallic scent of the "human" world was beginning to fade. Slowly by slowly.Roman’s Voice: She’s gone and truly gone. I felt the snap. In the middle of the training session, it felt like someone had reached into my chest and severed a silver wire. Silas. If he touched her...... I will burn the North to the ground."Father?", Arlo called out with concern.Roman turned. He was standing in the doorway. He looked small. For the first time since he’d sprouted his claws, the "Future Alpha" looked like a seven-year-old boy. He was holding the silver Zippo lighter, flicking it open an

CHAPTER 14 The Body Remembers What the Heart ForgetsPOV: ElaraI leaned my forehead against the cool glass of the window. Looking in my reflection, I saw a charcoal sketch. With no colour at all to add to its touch, all angles very sharp, and hollow eyes. The "Human Rejection" was no longer a slow leak; it was a flood that was drowning meWe had crossed the Northern Border. And for the first time in eight years, the air pressure changed. The thick, musky weight of the Crescent Pack’s territory thinned out, replaced by the sharp, biting cold of the mountain range.My lungs didn't find relief. They found a vacuum.Roman’s Voice: She’s crossing. She’s actually leaving the land. The bond is stretching………… Elara… come. back. You won’t survive the night in those mountains.I reached up and rubbed my temples, trying to massage the sound of him out of my brain. He was miles away, but the "Voice" was like a ghost limb; it hurt."Ma'am? Your oxygen levels are drop

CHAPTER 13 The Guest Who Isn't Coming BackPOV: ElaraIt was midday. The pack usually had its training session around this time. No one even paid attention elsewhere. I had mastered their patterns like an assignment.Someone sent me a letter. It didn’t come through the pack’s mail runner. Or via the gate where a subservient wolf would be bowing. It arrived via a black drone, hovering its way over the terrace.It dropped a heavy, cream-colored envelope right onto the centre of the training mats. The symbol on the wax seal was a silver mountain range. The Northern Pack. Silas’s mark. I was sure no one was watching, but sadly, I was wrong.Roman intercepted it, his fingers nearly shredding the paper as he ripped it open. I watched from the balcony. The suit jacket was draped over my shoulders like armour. My breathing was getting shallow, the "Human Rejection." It made every lungful of air feel like I was inhaling glass.Roman’s Voice: He’s inviting

CHAPTER 1 Cracks within the foundationPOV: Elara"Gosh, today better go fine," I sighed out in desperation.Walking into the great hall took so much pacing on my part. I could feel the eyes of all the pack members on me.And as usual, I ignored it.They c
