Rosemary’s POV

A heavy, pounding ache behind my eyes was the first thing that greeted me as I slowly pulled myself out of the dark.

My throat felt completely parched, burning with the dry, chemical aftertaste of the sweet drug they had forced down my throat. I groaned softly, trying to lift my arm, but my limbs felt as heavy as lead weights. I opened my eyes, blinking frantically against the soft, warm light of the room.

I wasn't in the damp, terrifying dirt tunnel anymore.

I was lying on a

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 102: THE WALL OF SILENCE

    Rosemary’s POVThe cold, heavy weight of the wolfsbane vanished, replaced by a soft, golden warmth that glowed beneath my feet.I stood in the middle of that familiar, quiet clearing at the edge of the forest where the silver mist met the trees. It was the exact same dreamscape where Kieran and I had met before—the peaceful sanctuary where our souls connected whenever our physical bodies were far apart. There were no stone walls of Lucian’s stronghold here, no heavy iron doors, and no dark shadows lingering in the air. High above, a soft white light bathed the realm in gentle radiance.Celine? I called out, looking around the misty expanse.It is our bond, Rosemary, Celine’s voice echoed warmly from right beside me, far stronger and clearer than it had been in the physical world. My divine magic bridged the gap while your mind drifted into sleep. We cannot hold this realm for long... look.Across the sea of silver fog near the treeline, a tall figure materialized.He was breathing hea

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 102: THE WALL OF SILENCE

    Kieran’s POVFor two straight days, we marched deep into Bloodhound territory without taking a single proper rest.The forest grew thicker, darker, and more suffocating the further east we traveled. Tall pine trees blocked out the sun, casting long, twisted shadows across the damp forest floor. The ground was slick with wet mud and rotting leaves, slowing our pace, but my wolf roared relentlessly inside my chest, driving me forward.Thirty of my strongest warriors moved behind me in tight formation. Sweat soaked through our leather armor, and dirt covered our faces, but no one complained. We were entering the heart of enemy land—a region known across the territories for its treacherous terrain and lethal boundary traps.Marcus jogged up to my side, his breath coming out in heavy white plumes in the chilly afternoon air. His face was drawn tight with exhaustion."Kieran," Marcus said, keeping his voice down to a harsh whisper. "The trackers are hitting a wall."I stopped in my tracks,

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 101: A COLD AWAKENING

    Rosemary’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, the world was a blurred sea of cold grey and pale silver.My head was pounding with a dull, throbbing ache that made my vision tilt. Every breath I pulled into my lungs felt heavy, coated in the lingering, bitter taste of wolfsbane. I tried to move my fingers, but my arms felt like lead, resting uselessly against the soft fabric beneath me.I wasn't in the dirt near the new nursery. I wasn't at the Moonclaw construction site anymore.I was lying on a massive, high-backed bed inside a grand, unfamiliar room. High stone walls stretched up toward vaulted ceilings, draped in heavy dark green tapestries. Cold moonlight poured through tall, arched windows, casting long, eerie shadows across the polished floorboards.A quiet rustle of fabric made me stiffen.A silent female servant stood right beside the bed, dressed in a plain grey tunic. She was bent over me, her hands moving quickly as she smoothed down the skirts of a long, pristine white silk gown.

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 100: INTO THE SHADOWS

    Kieran’s POVThe air at the eastern border was ice-cold, smelling faintly of pine needles, wet dirt, and the lingering, bitter trace of wolfsbane.Thirty of my best trackers stood in total silence behind me, their eyes glowing faint amber in the dark woods. Moonclaw warriors didn't make noise when their Luna was missing. Every sword was drawn, every shield strapped tight, and every wolf in the line was waiting for a single word from me.Marcus stepped up beside me, holding a burning torch low to the damp earth."The trail starts right here, Kieran," Marcus whispered, pointing to a patch of churned mud near the boundary fence. "Heavy boot prints. Four males, moving fast toward the Bloodhound territory lines."I dropped to one knee, brushing my fingers against the cold dirt. I brought my hand to my nose, inhaling deeply.Beneath the harsh, metallic stench of the poison, I caught it—the faint, delicate ghost of her scent. Fresh rosemary and soft rain. It was thin, almost entirely masked

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 99: THE INFIRMARY LIE

    Kieran’s POVThe air inside the pack house infirmary smelled heavily of iron, crushed herbs, and drying blood.I stood in the center of the quiet room, my arms crossed tightly over my chest, staring down at the floorboards. Outside, the night was chaotic. Marcus was assembling our frontline trackers, arming the perimeter guards, and preparing a full search party to march into the eastern territory. But inside these stone walls, the silence felt heavy enough to choke me.In the middle bed, Tanya lay propped up against a stack of white pillows. Her shoulder was wrapped tightly in thick linen bandages, her face still pale from the cut on her arm. The pack healer had just finished stitching her wounds and cleaning the dirt from her skin.Luke stood near the window, his expression grim as he watched me."She lost a lot of blood, Kieran," Luke said softly, breaking the stillness. "The healer said the blade missed her main artery by less than an inch. She barely made it."I didn't answer rig

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 98: A BROKEN BOND

    Kieran’s POV The sound of laughter filled the grand hall as I raised my wooden cup to toast the pack elders. "To the Alpha! To the future of Moonclaw!" an elder shouted, and everyone around us cheered. I took a long drink, smiling as I turned to look at the side pillar where I had left Rosemary. The spot was empty. I looked through the crowded room, expecting to see her talking with Lily or getting a drink, but I couldn't find her anywhere. I reached out through our mate bond to check on her. Rosemary? Nothing. I frowned and tried to reach deeper into our connection. Usually, her spirit felt warm and bright in my mind, radiating affection and sweet scent of fresh rosemary mixed with soft rain. But as I pushed into the link, a cold, violent shock ran through my chest. The warmth disappeared in a second. The bright feeling shattered, leaving behind a cold, dead silence. My cup slipped from my hand and crashed onto the floor, spilling drink all over my boots. I didn't care. I co
