The Alpha King's Hidden Luna Chapter Ten
Ruth's POVI found him in the courtyard at dawn.Langmore stood beneath the ancient oak that had witnessed a hundred years of Silver Crown history, his back to me, his shoulders rigid with exhaustion. He had been awake all night—I knew because I had been awake too, listening to Luna's steady breathing through the nursery monitor while my mind tore itself apart searching for solutions that didn't exist.The morning air was cold, sharp with the promise of autumn. Frost clung to the grass beneath my bare feet. I had not bothered with shoes. I had not bothered with anything except finding him before he left for Bloodmoon again."We need to talk."He turned slowly. Dark circles shadowed his amber eyes, and his jaw was rough with stubble he hadn't taken time to shave. He looked like a man being pulled in too many directions at once."Ruth." My name in his mouth still did something to my chest. I hated that it did. "I heard about the court session. Roan's precedent.""Then you know what it m
The Alpha King's Hidden Luna Chapter Nine
Ruth's POVThe whispers stopped the moment I entered the throne room.Fifty faces turned toward me, frozen mid-conversation, their expressions ranging from surprise to calculation to poorly hidden pity. I had not set foot in Silver Crown's court since returning home with a shattered bond and a belly full of child. Seven months of absence, and they had apparently decided I would never emerge.They were wrong.I walked down the center aisle with my spine straight and my chin high. My dress was deep burgundy—my mother's color, chosen deliberately. My hair was braided in the style of Silver Crown royalty, silver pins gleaming against the dark strands. I wore no jewelry except the ring my father had given me on my eighteenth birthday, the one that marked me as his heir before I had ever been anyone's mate.Luna was in the nursery with Dr. Chen and Langmore, who had arrived an hour ago looking like he hadn't slept in days. The tether allowed me this much distance now—barely—and I intended t
The Alpha King's Hidden Luna Chapter Eight
Langmore's POVThe hall was dark when I returned.No torches burned in the sconces. No servants rushed to greet me. No warriors stood at attention as their Alpha crossed the threshold of his own home. Bloodmoon Pack house stretched before me like a corpse, beautiful and empty and cold.I had been gone eighteen hours. Luna's tether allowed me that much—barely. Dr. Chen's chart haunted me during the entire three-hour ride, those declining numbers ticking in my mind like a countdown. Eighteen hours today. Fourteen tomorrow. Less the day after.My wolf paced restlessly beneath my skin, pulling me back toward Silver Crown, toward the daughter I had already failed in more ways than I could count. But Bloodmoon needed its Alpha too, and I could not let my pack crumble while I tried to reassemble the family I had destroyed."Alpha." Marcus appeared from the shadows of the great hall. Not Ruth's brother—my Beta's replacement, a young warrior named Marcus Cole who had accepted the position only
The Alpha King's Hidden Luna Chapter Seven
Ruth's POVThe glass wall between them was my idea.I stood in the observation room above the medical wing, watching through the one-way mirror as Langmore pressed his palm against the partition. On the other side, Luna lay in her crib, her tiny fingers reaching toward the glass she couldn't understand. Reaching toward the father she could smell but not touch.Two Silver Crown warriors flanked Langmore like statues. They had escorted him from the border, through the pack house, down the sterile corridors, never letting him walk more than three steps without supervision. He had not complained. He had not even spoken.Dr. Chen stood beside me, her tablet glowing with numbers I didn't want to read. A stopwatch app counted the seconds in the corner of the screen. We were eighteen minutes into the forty-minute visitation window."Her temperature is dropping," Chen said quietly. "Heart rate stabilizing. Oxygen levels improving."I watched Langmore's shoulders relax as Luna's crying softened
The Alpha King's Hidden Luna Chapter Six
Ruth's POVThe pen looked wrong in his hand.I stood in the doorway of my father's study, watching Langmore hold the silver fountain pen my grandfather had used to sign treaties that ended wars. His fingers wrapped around it like it was a weapon, but he wasn't fighting. He was surrendering.Nineteen pages lay spread across my father's mahogany desk. I had read every word last night while Luna slept in her crib, her tiny chest rising and falling in the steady rhythm that only came when both her parents were near. Nineteen pages of conditions, restrictions, and humiliations designed to break an Alpha's pride into dust.My father sat behind the desk, his silver-streaked hair catching the morning light through the tall windows. Marcus stood at his right shoulder like a shadow. Neither of them looked at me. They were watching Langmore the way wolves watch wounded prey."You understand what you're signing," my father said. It wasn't a question.Langmore's jaw tightened. "I understand.""Rea
The Alpha King's Hidden Luna Chapter Five
Ruth's POVSix months should have been enough time to forget him.I stood in the nursery, folding tiny clothes for the hundredth time, trying to ignore the ache in my chest. The room was perfect—soft yellows and greens, a beautiful crib my father had handcrafted, shelves full of toys and books.Everything a pup could want. Everything except a father."You're thinking about him again."I turned to find Marcus in the doorway, holding a tray of food."No, I'm not," I lied."Your scent gives you away." He set the tray down. "You always smell like rain when you think of him."I hated that he was right. Even with the bond severed, I couldn't stop thinking about Langmore. Wondering where he was. If he was okay."Any news from Bloodmoon?" I asked, trying to sound casual.Marcus hesitated. "Ruth...""Just tell me.""It's chaos. Thomas tried to claim Alpha, but half the pack rebelled. Mara gave birth last week, and Thomas immediately announced the pup wasn't his. He rejected them both.""What?"
