Chapter 8

Myosotis
Over the next two weeks, Kael did everything he could to make my life and Elias's life miserable.

He refused to acknowledge Elias as the future Alpha, calling him a "useless hermit" and a "mountain rat" whenever they crossed paths.

He refused to attend any pack meetings, refused to follow any orders, and spent his days wandering the fortress, drinking and muttering to himself about the past life.

He began to tell anyone who would listen that he was the rightful Alpha, that I had cursed the moo

    Kael stood there, frozen in shock. He looked at the silver moonstone, then at Elias, then at me. His face twisted with rage."You did this!" he screamed, pointing at me. "You manipulated the Goddess! You cheated!""I did no such thing," I said. "The Goddess sees everything. She saw what you did to me. She saw the darkness in your heart. And she saw the goodness in Elias's."I turned back to the moonstone. "Goddess," I said, "we ask you one more thing. Show us the prophecy about Lila Songbird."The moonstone's silver light shifted. Images began to play across its surface, clear and vivid. The entire pack watched in silence as the truth was revealed.They saw Lila meeting with the assassins in the woods. They saw her paying them with gold, telling them to kill me. They saw the assassins sneaking into the fortress in the middle of the night. They saw them killing Lila.The hall fell silent. No one spoke. Everyone stared at the moonstone, their faces filled with shock and disgust.Kael

    Over the next two weeks, Kael did everything he could to make my life and Elias's life miserable. He refused to acknowledge Elias as the future Alpha, calling him a "useless hermit" and a "mountain rat" whenever they crossed paths. He refused to attend any pack meetings, refused to follow any orders, and spent his days wandering the fortress, drinking and muttering to himself about the past life.He began to tell anyone who would listen that he was the rightful Alpha, that I had cursed the moonstone to make Elias Alpha. Some of the younger warriors, who had always seen him as a great leader, believed him. They began to follow him around, whispering about rebellion and overthrowing Elias.I tried to ignore him. I focused on my duties as the Seer, on helping Elias learn how to lead the pack. But Kael's constant harassment was wearing on me. Every time I turned around, he was there, staring at me with those golden eyes filled with hatred and obsession.One day, I was walking through

  • The Alpha Begged After I Chose His Brother   Chapter 7

    I said nothing. I just stared at Kael, my eyes cold and empty. But inside, memories of the last life were flooding my mind, sharp and painful.I remembered the day Jax died. He had been ambushed by the Jackal Clans while on patrol. Kael had been the one to find him, lying in a pool of his own blood."Take care of Lila," Jax had whispered, gripping Kael's hand so tight his knuckles turned white. "Promise me you'll protect her. Promise me she'll always be safe.""I promise," Kael had said, his voice breaking.Jax had smiled, then closed his eyes and died.From that day on, Kael had dedicated himself to keeping his promise. He had given Lila a home in the fortress, protected her from anyone who tried to hurt her, and gave her everything she asked for. But Lila had not been content with just protection. She had wanted more. She had wanted Kael. She had wanted to be Luna.And she had seen me as her biggest obstacle.I remembered the vision I had had three days before Lila's death: a vi

    The bonding feast was held the next evening in the great hall of the fortress. The hall was decorated with silver garlands and moonblooms.The pack was celebrating my bond with Elias, and the air was filled with laughter and music.I sat beside Elias on the dais, a deep blue Luna gown embroidered with silver moon phases and wolf paw prints. He held my hand under the table, his touch warm and reassuring. For a while, I managed to forget about Kael and everything that had happened.But as the night wore on, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen. I was right.Just as the feast was reaching its peak, the great oak doors of the hall crashed open. Everyone fell silent.Kael stood in the doorway, his clothes still damp from the snow, his hair matted and wild. His eyes were bloodshot, and he reeked of mead. He had clearly been drinking all day.He staggered into the hall, ignoring the stares of the pack, and made his way straight to the bar. He grabbed a full tan

    I stood on the fortress battlements, watching Kael kneel alone in the knee-deep snow below. He had been there for eight hours straight, ever since our procession had passed him by. His black cloak was crusted with ice."NOVA!" he screamed again, his voice raw and broken, barely audible over the howling wind. "YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME! YOU SAID YOU WOULD ALWAYS LOVE ME!"I could see the pack members lingering at the edge of the courtyard, watching him with a mix of pity and fear. They had never seen the proud, arrogant heir like this. Whispers spread through the crowd like wildfire."He's lost his mind," someone muttered. "The Goddess has cursed him for defying her will."My father and stepmother stood a short distance away, their faces heavy with disappointment. My father's jaw was tight, his fists clenched at his sides. Elara's eyes were red with tears, her hands trembling. They had tried everything to get him to come inside, but he had refused to move.Finally, my father let out a

    The day of the Mating Ceremony​ dawned bright and clear. The snow glistened in the sunlight, and the air was crisp and cold.I stood in my chambers, looking in the mirror.I was wearing a ceremonial mating gown stitched with silver wolf runes, and a crown of moonblooms in my hair. I looked calm. But inside, my heart was racing.Today was the day I would finally get my happy ending.The procession left the fortress at midday. A hundred warriors in their pristine white wolf forms marched ahead of me. They were the pack's elite guard, their golden eyes fixed straight ahead. Behind me, a line of carriages stretched for miles, carrying the pack’s nobles and warriors.The entire pack had turned out to see their future Luna claimed.We were halfway to the Alpha’s den when the procession stopped.I heard shouting. Angry shouting.I pushed aside the velvet curtain of my carriage and looked out.Kael was standing in the middle of the road, blocking our path. His face was twisted with rage, h
