LUCIAN

We had almost reached our horses, the leather saddles glinting faintly under the soft sunlight, when his voice stopped us.

"Lucian, wait."

Adrian's tone had changed. It no longer carried the edge of mockery. Instead, it sounded urgent, tinged with something that almost resembled desperation. I halted, turning slowly to face him. My warriors stood behind me, alert and ready, but I could sense their confusion.

He was walking toward us, his face flushed, breathing slightly heavier than before. Something had shifted. Whatever he had come to say earlier wasn't the whole of it. I could feel it in the air between us.

I glanced at my warriors, then back at Adrian. My instincts whispered caution, but my heart whispered another chance at peace. And for the sake of Bloodfang, for the sake of those waiting for us back home, I decided to listen.

We followed him back into the hall. The great doors opened with a groan, the hinges protesting under the weight of old wood and tension. The hall w

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    THE POISON BENEATH HER PERFUME

    CHAPTER 60 LucianMy hand moved on its own, eager, trembling with a strange craving I had never felt before. My mouth, dry and warm, suddenly longed for something—anything—to quench a thirst I hadn’t known existed until now.The moment the rim of the glass touched my lips, I drank like a man who had wandered for days in a sunless desert. The wine was rich—full-bodied, smooth, and expensive in a way words could never describe. It wasn’t just wine. It was like drinking velvet wrapped in flame. Before I even realized it, the glass was already half empty.I blinked, raising it slightly to the light as if that would slow time. I wanted more, but all that remained was a final mouthful—and then, nothing. I had finished it. Drained it to the last drop.She was still there. Elegant. The goddess in gold. Her touch had replaced the glass. Her fingers, cool and featherlight, were now stroking through my hair, and I—I leaned into her.I didn’t want her to stop. Every stroke of her fingers pulled

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    TEMPTATION IN SILK

    LUCIANThe soft sound of footsteps broke my reflection. They were not rushed, nor aggressive. They came slowly, each one deliberate, as though the person walking was no longer burdened by anger or chaos, but carrying a calm resolve. Then the great wooden door creaked again. It opened wider this time, slower, like it didn’t want to announce itself too loudly.Adrian stepped in.But something had changed.Gone was the fire in his eyes, the fury that had driven his earlier words. His posture was relaxed, his breathing even. He looked at me with eyes that held no storm, only a strange stillness, as if the weight of all his desperation had settled into a single, quiet decision.“Lucian,” he began, his voice almost gentle, nearly pleading. “I want us to reach an agreement.”He took a few more steps forward but didn’t sit down this time. He stood, tall and yet oddly stripped of pride.“Give me Selena,” he said, pausing like he was holding back more words than he wanted to say. “And I will gi

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    THE CONFRONTATION

    LUCIANThe Bloodfang warriors didn’t press forward after the confrontation at the border. They knew what needed to be done. Without needing a command, they turned back and began the journey back to camp. I stood watching them for a moment, my mind already focused on what had to happen next.I ordered the rest of the warriors to stay behind and protect the pack members. Our lands were still vulnerable, and I couldn’t risk another attack. Eight of my finest warriors assembled quickly, their eyes sharp and determined. Without another word, we mounted our horses. The hooves struck the earth with a sense of purpose. We were going to Shadowfang. I was going to meet Adrian myself.I needed to look him in the eye. I needed to ask him why he had sent his warriors to my land. Why he had chosen war over peace. I would not send messages or wait for answers. I would get them myself.The ride was long but swift. The horses were powerful and responsive, their muscles rippling under us as they charge

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    DAWN OF CONFRONTATION

    LUCIANThe dawn broke like a warrior in gleaming armor. The sunlight tore through the sky with gold-edged blades, slicing away the last remnants of night. It bathed Bloodfang in its radiant warmth, a sign—to me, to all of us—that the heavens had opened their arms to our cause. The air shimmered with anticipation. It was the kind of morning that called men to battle, that made the blood stir and the bones ache for victory.I stood on the steps of the Alpha house, my sword slung across my back, watching as the warriors assembled. The yard was alive, humming with raw energy. Wolves, young and old, donned their leathers and armor. Faces once dulled by fear now gleamed with conviction. Some painted marks of war on their cheeks; others tied red cloths around their wrists in honor of fallen kin. Songs rose from the crowd—not just any song, but the old marching song of Bloodfang, one that had not been heard since the last time we fought.We welcomed the sun with steel and with purpose. The cl

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    THE RETURN OF THE OMEGA

    SELENAThe pack members stole glances at me like they’d never seen me before. Their eyes lingered on my face, some wide with disbelief, others narrowing with guilt or confusion. Even as Lucian addressed them with the commanding strength of a leader returned from exile, I noticed it—those subtle shifts in their expressions, the way conversations stilled momentarily whenever our eyes met. I could feel their surprise thick in the air, curling around me like smoke.I didn’t blame them. This was the first time they were seeing me since I disappeared—since I fled into the forest, accused and broken, escaping the death they had chosen for me. Perhaps, in their minds, I had long been swallowed by the wild, torn apart by beasts, forgotten by the moon goddess. But here I was. I hadn’t only survived—I had returned. Not as a shadow of the girl they once sneered at, but as a warrior standing tall beside the alpha they had rejected.Their glances told a story of silent questions and fractured memor
