Down the hall, Seth paced his room, unable to rest despite his exhaustion. His thoughts kept returning to Ruby, her vulnerability when she'd suggested they go on dates, the way she'd swayed on her feet before accepting his escort back to the cottage. For years, he'd fought against his instinct to protect her. Now that he could finally acknowledge those feelings, the need to be near her was almost overwhelming.

Through the mate bond, he could sense she was sleeping, her consciousness a dim, troubled flicker. He wanted nothing more than to go to her, to stand guard while she rested, but he had promised to keep his distance. Trust had to be earned, not demanded.

In his own room, Francis sat at his desk, methodically making lists. It was how he had always dealt with chaos, organising, planning, creating order from disorder. His current list was titled "Ways to Make Amends to

  • The Alpha Quintuplets' Guardian Luna   Chapter 38

    I heated the plate, some kind of pasta dish that smelled divine, and sat at the small kitchen table, trying to make sense of everything that had happened. The quintuplets wanted to make amends, to become the anchors they were meant to be. Even Peter, despite his conditioning, wanted to try.Dates. The word still made me cringe with its normalcy. How did you date five men who had spent years tormenting you? Where would we even begin?A soft knock at the door made me freeze, fork halfway to my mouth. Through the mate bonds, I sensed it was Seth, his presence a warm glow in my consciousness."Ruby?" he called softly. "I know you're awake. I felt it through the bond."I sighed, setting down my fork. "It's t

    "I've already contacted our allied packs," Marcus assured me. "Reinforcements will begin arriving tomorrow. In the meantime, we'll double the border patrols."It was strange having people actually concerned for my safety after so many years of indifference. I wasn't sure how to feel about it."I'll walk you back to the cottage," Seth offered, still careful not to touch me.I glanced at the others, seeing the mix of emotions on their faces. Declan looked like he wanted to argue, to insist he come along as well, but he held his tongue. Nelson seemed lost in his own thoughts, his usual cockiness nowhere to be seen. Francis watched me with that intense, analytical gaze that had always made me uncomfortable, though now it held concern rather than contempt. And Peter

    "Ruby," Seth breathed, his hand hovering inches from my face as if he wanted to touch me but didn't dare. "Thank the goddess. We thought...""I heard him," I interrupted, struggling to sit up despite the dizziness. "The Shadow Alpha. He was in my head while I was unconscious."The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees. Alpha Marcus stepped forward, his expression grave. "What did he say?"I glanced at Peter, who had gone even paler if that was possible. "He tried to convince me to take what I needed from all of you instead of waiting for you to give it freely. He fed on my pain when..." I stopped, not wanting to hurt Peter further by repeating his confession."When I rejected you," Pete

    Peter flinched as if Nelson had struck him, his face draining of colour. The blunt question hung in the air like a poison, forcing him to confront the twisted conditioning that had shaped his reactions for over a decade."Yes," he whispered, the admission tearing from his throat like broken glass. "The thought of...touching her, being with her that way...it makes me physically ill. And I know that's wrong. I know it's not natural. But I can't just turn it off."The confession shattered something in the room. Seth made a sound like a wounded animal, his hands clenching into fists. Through the mate bonds, they could all feel Peter's anguish, the war between his logical mind, which understood Ruby was their mate, and his conditioned body, which recoiled at the very idea.Francis ran a hand through his dishevelled hair, his usual composure completely fractured. "Dr

    "He was a Guardian who chose power over protection. He killed his Anchors and absorbed their power instead of working with them. Now he hunts new Guardians before they can fully awaken and bring balance.”“So he killed his mates to steal their powers?”“Yeah, apparently.” I said, “Now he wants mine. If anything, he’d probably go after yours as well, considering you’re my anchors and have your own powers as well, just as he did his own. However, as I said before, if we’re not all willing, there is no point. So I don’t even know why we’re discussing this.”I watched as my words hit them like a physical blow, each one landing with devastating precision. Through the mate bonds, I could feel their collective despair, a suffocating weight that pressed against my chest. Seth's face crumpled, his green eyes filling with a pain so raw it made my wolf whimper despite eve
