The blinding light faded slowly, like the last embers of a dying sun. For a moment, the world was still. No screams, no movement, no breath. Just silence.

And then, Lily fell to her knees.

Her hands trembled as she pressed them to the cracked stone floor of the ancient temple. Smoke curled in wisps around her fingers. Her vision swam with blurred shadows, but the ache in her bones told her she was still alive.

Barely.

“Callum,” she rasped, searching blindly for him. “Callum…”

A low groan came from her left. She turned toward it just as his wolf form shifted back. He was sprawled across the floor, cuts and burns streaked across his chest and arms, but he was breathing.

Her heart stuttered in relief.

He was alive.

She crawled to him, wincing with every move, and placed a trembling hand on his cheek.

“Hey,” she whispered. “Don’t you dare die.”

He coughed. “That… was one hell of a light show.”

Tears welled up in her eyes. “I thought we were done for.”

“You almost blew up the mountain,” he

  • THE MOON'S FORBIDDEN MATE   Chapter 42

    The soft glow of moonlight filtered through the grand windows of the Sterling Estate’s upper floors, casting elongated shadows across the dusty marble floors. The night air was thick with secrets, and Lily felt it in her bones. Since King Alistair’s shocking return, the Bloodmoon Pack had been in a state of suspended disbelief. Whispers followed her everywhere, and not just about her pregnancy. Now, the murmurs surrounded a king who had supposedly died a heroic death but had somehow emerged unscathed.Callum had not spoken more than a few words since the reveal. He had remained quiet, thoughtful..... Guarded. Even their bond felt stretched, distant. But Lily couldn’t blame him. If anyone had a right to feel betrayed, it was him.After everyone had dispersed following the Council’s emergency meeting, King Alistair had been escorted away by the elite guards. No explanation. No clarification. Just a haunting smile and a promise: “We will speak soon.”But it had been three days.And Lily

  • THE MOON'S FORBIDDEN MATE   Chapter 41

    The corridors of the Bloodmoon estate buzzed with whispers and tension. Word had spread quickly that King Alistair was alive. The revelation had fractured the pack’s fragile calm like a mirror shattering under pressure. Some howled with joy at their Alpha’s return. Others looked on with wary eyes, uncertain whether his survival was a blessing… or a curse.Lily hadn’t left her chambers since the return from the Council. Not because she wasn’t curious. Not because she wasn’t furious. But because she couldn’t face Alistair...... At least not yet.How could he have faked his death?And worse… why?Callum had thrown himself into meetings with the high-ranking wolves, fielding questions, quieting panic, and avoiding his father. Lily could see it wearing on him. The storm of politics, of pack expectations, and now...... Of betrayal. It was weighing heavily.A gentle knock came at her door. She didn’t move.“Lily?” It was Avery.With a sigh, Lily rose and opened the door. Avery stood there wi

    The council chamber still echoed with the revelation of King Alistair’s return, his voice like thunder as he declared his presence to a room that had already buried him in memory.Lily couldn’t move.She stood frozen beside Callum, her pulse thundering in her ears as Alistair descended from the shadows behind the high table. The Elders had yet to utter a word, their silver masks hiding expressions that were no doubt as stunned as the rest of the hall.“Father?” Callum breathed, his voice barely audible.Alistair’s cloak flowed behind him like storm clouds, the regal maroon of royal blood wrapped around his broad frame. His silver-streaked hair fell over one eye, and when he finally came to a stop at the base of the dais, he looked not at his son, but at the Council.“I see that in my absence, vultures have tried to feast upon the bones of my legacy,” he said.Elder Varion was the first to regain his voice. “You’re dead. We saw your body....”“You saw what I wanted you to see,” Alistai

    The next morning, the Council summoned them again.Callum didn’t want to go. Neither did Lily. But their refusal will mean defiance, and defiance meant war. The pack was already teetering on the edge as some wanted Callum to rise, others whispered that Alistair’s return was a sign to restore the old order.No one knew where the king had gone.And Lily wasn’t telling.Not yet.They entered the Hall of Judgement together, side by side. The same cold air, the same obsidian stone underfoot, but now it felt different. More eyes. More suspicion.The Elders stood cloaked in ceremonial crimson. This time, their wolf masks were etched with moonstone which signifies an omen of reckoning.Elder Varion stepped forward. “You’ve both been summoned for a binding.”Callum’s voice was calm. “What kind of binding?”“A blood oath,” Varion replied. “Between you and the child.”Lily blinked. “That’s ancient magic. It hasn’t been used since......”“Since kings were crowned and gods still walked among us?”

    Lily didn’t sleep the rest of the night.Even after she left the hidden chamber, after Alistair made her promise not to speak of what she saw, her mind was a storm of symbols, secrets, and the soft ripple of that silver pool. She had returned to her chambers like a ghost, heart pounding with the weight of what she now carried.More than a child.More than prophecy.Now, she carried a truth that could shatter the Bloodmoon Pack’s very foundation.The next morning, the palace stirred with quiet panic.Word of Alistair’s reappearance had reached every den, hut, and outpost. Wolves gathered in hushed clusters around the main hall, speaking in lowered tones, tails flicking with unease. No one had seen him since the Council meeting. Not even the Elders.It was as though he had appeared… only to vanish again.Callum stood at the center of it all, calm on the surface, but Lily could see the storm raging behind his eyes. He was used to being the one with answers. Now he was just another heir w

  • THE MOON'S FORBIDDEN MATE   Chapter 37

    The Hall of Judgement had never been so silent.Even after the Council dismissed the gathering and declared that King Alistair’s "return" would be discussed behind closed doors, no one moved. Not the guards. Not the Elders. Not Callum, whose hand still clutched Lily’s like she might vanish again. And certainly not Lily, who kept staring at the spot where Alistair had stood. She couldn't believe he was alive, flesh and bone, looking barely aged, yet cloaked in shadows older than time.He was alive.Alive.It made no sense. Lily had seen the funeral pyre. She had watched the flames consume the King's body....... Or what she thought was his body. Now, standing at the very heart of the pack’s highest law, he had returned with eyes that gleamed with unreadable knowledge and a voice that sent chills down her spine.He didn’t even try to explain.“Not here,” was all he had said, and then he vanished again behind the obsidian doors with the rest of the Council.Callum was the first to speak a
