Lucian

The fire had burned low. Its glow flickered weakly across the walls, casting shadows that danced like restless ghosts. Outside, the celebration had faded into soft murmurs—laughter still echoed in the distance, drums like a fading heartbeat—but inside, it was quiet.

Too quiet.

Selena lay beside me, her breathing soft and steady, her back turned toward me. One hand rested over her stomach, protective even in sleep.

I watched her for a long time.

Her face was peaceful, lashes brushing against her cheeks, lips parted just slightly. She looked so calm, like the world hadn’t shifted under our feet. Like everything was still right.

But it wasn’t.

Not for me.

I had no appetite for the food, but I had forced myself to eat earlier, spoon by spoon, because she was watching. Because I didn’t want her to ask questions I wasn’t ready to answer. I had told her I was tired. That was true. But not in the way she thought.

I wasn’t tired from the journey. I was tired from carrying this secret.

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    THE TRUTH BEGINS TO RISE

    Lucian Her words—you haven’t exactly been close—hung in the air like a stone between us. I had no answer. Not one that wouldn’t bruise her. Not one that wouldn’t unravel everything.A long silence stretched out. I shifted my weight. The back of my neck itched with heat, but I didn’t move. She didn’t look away.She just sat there, quiet and still, as if giving me the space to speak.But I didn’t.And maybe that was when she knew.Her next words came softly, but they held more weight than anything she’d ever said to me.“Lucian…” she breathed, her voice steady despite the ache buried inside it, “what happened in Shadowfang?”There it was.The question I’d been running from.My spine went rigid. I couldn’t breathe for a second. It felt like someone had pressed a blade to my chest—not hard enough to cut, but enough to remind me how close I was to bleeding.Her eyes met mine, unwavering. Not accusing. Not angry.Just… searching.She wasn’t yelling. She wasn’t breaking down. That would’ve

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    HIDING FROM HER

    Lucian The morning air was crisp, laced with the sharp scent of pine, damp soil, and the lingering musk of wolves who had already shifted and gone out for their first run. Cold dew clung to the earth, soaking into the soles of my boots as I stepped outside the warriors’ quarters. My breath came out in thin clouds. The sky was still pale, just brushing light at the edges.Somewhere near the main fire pit, a pot clanged against stone. Voices murmured low—warriors exchanging greetings, grunts, short laughs. Somewhere farther off, metal clashed with metal. The rhythm of early training.But I barely noticed any of it.My mind was elsewhere. It had been this way, for days now.I moved quietly across the camp, my body following the path to the training ground like it had every morning since I returned from Shadowfang. It was muscle memory by now. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, quiet but restless. He didn’t crave battle. Not really. He just wanted to move, to burn off what neither of us co

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    THE SILENCE BETWEEN US

    SelenaLucian hadn’t said a word about Shadowfang.Not the day he returned. Not the day after. Not even now—days later—when the silence between us had grown so thick, I could barely breathe through it.He’d come home, yes. His body had returned. But everything else—the parts of him I loved, the warmth in his voice, the gentle touches—felt distant. Drowned beneath something heavy and unnamed.Each morning, I left my room and walked the short distance down the hall to his. I’d pause outside his door for a few seconds, listening—hoping to hear movement, the soft creak of the floorboards, the low rumble of his voice. But the room was always silent.I knocked once. Waited. Then pushed the door open gently.Empty.The bed looked barely touched. Neatly made, the blankets smooth except for a slight indent on the pillow where his head had rested for a few hours. His scent lingered faintly in the air—earthy, warm, familiar. But he was already gone.Gone to train with the warriors.I stepped ins

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    HOME, BUT NOT WHOLE

    SelenaHe was only a few feet away, but it felt like a lifetime stretched between us.Lucian.He looked the same and yet… not quite. There was something about his eyes—darker somehow. Distant.My feet began to move before I even realized it. One step. Then another. My eyes didn’t leave his face. I didn’t blink. I was afraid that if I did, he’d disappear again.There were a thousand things I wanted to say. A thousand questions pushing at the edge of my tongue. But none of them came out. I opened my mouth and closed it again. What words could possibly match what I felt?So I did the only thing I could.I opened my arms.For a second, he just stood there. Frozen. Like he wasn’t sure if he should come closer. And then, without a word, he stepped into me.His arms wrapped around me, pulling me in. And the moment my body met his, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. My cheek pressed against his chest, and I felt the steady thump of his heart—strong, alive, real.He was her

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    THE LIE BENEATH THE WELCOME

    LUCIANThe horses didn’t stop.Their hooves thundered over the forest floor beneath the silver eye of the moon, beating against the earth like the drums of war. Leaves whispered in the wind, swaying like spectators as we rode through the dense night. Bloodfang’s tall wooden gates finally came into view through the trees, flanked by watch towers lit with flickering torches. Home—but it didn’t feel like it.We were back from Shadowfang, but I didn’t return the same. I brought back something heavier than any wound. Guilt clung to me like a second skin, silent but loud in my chest. It followed me on every mile of the journey, whispering reminders of my failure and weakness.The warriors rode behind me, their expressions unreadable, their silence louder than howls. None of them had said a word since we left Shadowfang. I hadn’t expected them to, but part of me—the shameful part—had hoped they would speak. That someone would whisper, “We won’t tell anyone, Alpha.” That I could count on the
