Cadmus’s POV

Victoria's screams twisted inside me. I gripped her hand, desperate to anchor us. Each cry tore through the walls I'd built against fear. My heart pounded, helplessness flooding me with every agonized sound. I wished I could take her pain, but all I could do was hold on and pour all my love and strength into her trembling fingers.

Cadmus, listen to me, she said. If anything happens to me… she screamed again.

"Nothing will happen to you," I said, trying to stay calm, though fear gri

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   Come back now

    Victoria’s POVI will not live in fear anymore. Nothing changed. It will not change her hatred for me, it will not change my questions of why?Cadmus was grumpy as they came to take the small bag he had packed. Victoria, follow the rules, stay safe, and remember to text me. I need to know you’re safe every hour." I can take care of myself and have a good trip," I told him. Then Thalia hugged him and went to kiss Amelie. His eyes softened for a moment, then went back to amber cold. I kissed him several times because we hadn’t been away from each other in a long time, and the panic was setting inside me. Inside, it felt like something tight was coiling in my chest. What if something happened to him? What if she found me again while he was gone? The house suddenly felt so much emptier, every shadow longer, every familiar noise sharper. I tried to remind myself of all the ways I was strong, all the dangers I had already survived, but the questions crowded in: what if our luck finally ran

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   Bad news first

    Victoria’s POVTwo months have passed since Amelie was born. Holding her still feels unreal, as though her arrival made me more alive. She’s thriving, gaining weight, and her big green eyes have already charmed Cadmus and the kids. When she looks at me, fierceness and worry mix in my chest—will I ever be enough for her? Some nights I watch her sleep, counting each breath, feeling grateful and terrified at once. I want her to have a happy, safe life. She’ll be spoiled, but I can’t help it. Our home is filled with happiness and hope now.Makarius is the Alpha of the pack, a role that means he leads and protects everyone in our group, settling disputes and making decisions for our safety. In our pack, the Alpha isn't just a ruler but also a caretaker and a guide—everyone has their place, whether as a warrior, caretaker, or member learning their strengths. It was later that afternoon when I noticed Makarius following Thalia like a shadow. They fight all the time, more like she fights and

"It's been two hours," I shouted at the doctor.We’re almost there, push again, he saidWith the final, desperate push, Amelie slipped into the world, slick and impossibly tiny.

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   DAD

    Victoria’s POVSeven months pregnant, I needed a break every hour. My back ached, my moods shifted wildly, and every smell was too strong. Amelie, our baby girl, kicked hard whenever I tried to rest. The doctors argued with me constantly, acting like they knew what was best for my body. Cadmus was both spoiling and overly protective, sometimes to the point of suffocation. I knew he meant well, but I longed for space and independence. Still, I was grateful for him, even when his fussing drove me crazy.Hathor has fallen asleep next to me. He thinks now that he will have a sister, we won’t love him anymore.Cadmus entered the bedroom, came to my side, and kissed my lips, then my belly. "She'll be as beautiful as you, and I’ll shred anyone who comes near her," he said. He petted Hathor’s head. "Is my boy insecure?" he asked.I nodded. We need to show more love, I said"Victoria, he is with me most of the day, even in the meetings," Cadmus said. I laughed."Sorry, you—I mean…stop!" I said

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   I feel old

    Four years later…Victoria’s POVThe pack buzzed with celebration. Torches flickered along snowy paths, casting playful shadows as the cold white banks were cleared for the towering bonfire at the center of the clearing. Smoke from roasting meat curled upward, mingling with the sweet, earthy aroma of pine and something sugary from the dessert tables. Laughter and voices soared around me, echoing through the crisp air, while children shrieked, darting between the adults with gleeful abandon. The drumbeat thudded in the distance, quickening my heart as I watched the bustle around me. My nerves tightened with every guest who arrived, knowing that tonight, everyone would be here.Victoria, my love, Cadmus teased through the link. Let’s go for a run, just us.Just one hour, promise. He chuckled.We walked deep into the bare forest and undressed, tucking our clothes into a jacket. I closed my eyes for a breath, reached inside for that instinctive tug, and let it sweep through me.

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   Do tell

    Cadmus’s POVI wasn't happy about this trip, but Victoria insisted. Determined to be prepared if anything went wrong, I took extra precautions. Soon, we arrived at the hidden pack houses.The pack houses were hidden among old pines, their trunks close together and needles covering the ground in a soft green layer. The air was cool and smelled like sap and moss, with the steady sound of the river filling the quiet with a soft rush. Sunlight came through the trees in golden lines, shining on wet stones by the water. As we went down the winding road, the gravel crunched under our tires with bird calls in the distance. I saw the spotters between the trees, almost hidden by the shadows.When the car came to a stop, the doors opened, and someone helped Victoria out. They bowed to her, then to me. A man in his late fifties approached us first.A man about fifty came up first. He held out his hand to me and said, "Alpha King Cadmus, welcome to our pack." Then he nodded to Victoria and added,
