The scream tore through the park like a blade.

For a fraction of a second, everything slowed. The laughter around us faded, the movement of children blurred into the background, and all I could see was Selena’s small body slipping from the wooden beam. Her foot missed the edge, her balance gone, and then she was falling.

My body moved before my mind caught up.

I didn’t remember standing. I didn’t remember crossing the distance between the bench and the beam. One moment I was sitting beside Sien

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   288. SIENNA

    Ten years had passed, and yet there were moments when I could still remember the tiny fingers of my children curled around mine as though it had happened yesterday. I stood at the edge of the great hall that morning, watching the kingdom gather for a ceremony I had once believed belonged to some distant future. Today, my little girl was eighteen. Not the little girl who used to chase Kane through the gardens or argue with Nicholas over toys, but a grown woman standing at the centre of the hall with her head held high. Selena was about to take the throne as the first female Alpha our pack had ever known, and I wasn't sure whether I wanted to cry, laugh, or simply run forward and hug her like the mother I still was beneath the Luna's crown.The hall was overflowing with pack members, elders, warriors, families, and representatives from neighbouring territories. The banners of our pack hung high above us while sunlight poured through the tall windows, illuminating the polished stone bene

    Thirty days changed everything. Not completely, not enough to erase the fear of those first terrible days, but enough to make our lives feel familiar again. A month ago, I had been lying unconscious in a hospital bed while our sons fought for every breath inside the critical care unit. Now I was sitting by the window of our bedroom with a blanket around my shoulders, watching the early morning light spill across the garden while the sound of tiny cries came from the nursery. I smiled before I even turned around. One of them had woken up. Then the second joined him, their voices overlapping in the sweetest little complaint. "They're awake," I whispered, already trying to push myself up. I barely got halfway before Cassius appeared in the doorway. "Absolutely not." I stopped and looked at him. He stood there holding a tray of breakfast, his expression already warning me against whatever foolish thing I was considering. "I wasn't doing anything." "You were getting up." "I was sitting up.

    I had stopped counting the days.At some point, the numbers had become meaningless. Morning and night had blended together beneath the harsh hospital lights, and the only thing that mattered anymore was whether Sienna was awake and whether our sons were still fighting. I had slept in the chair beside her bed, if what I had been doing could even be called sleep. Most of the time, I simply closed my eyes while keeping one hand wrapped around hers, waking at every change in her breathing or every movement of her fingers. That morning was no different. I was sitting beside her with my head resting against the mattress, staring at our joined hands when something changed.Her fingers moved.I lifted my head immediately."Sienna?"H

    The first thing I learned about fear was that it didn't always arrive screaming. Sometimes it sat quietly beside you and refused to leave. It settled into your bones, stole your appetite, made sleep impossible, and turned every sound into a reason to look up. I had spent years believing I understood fear. I had faced enemies, council threats, hunters, vampires, and battles where one wrong decision could cost lives. None of it had prepared me for sitting beside Sienna's hospital bed and watching her breathe. She had been unconscious since the surgery, and although Marianne kept telling me that her condition was stable, stable had become the most terrifying word in my vocabulary. Stable meant she was alive. It didn't mean she was awake. It didn't mean she was safe. It didn't tell me when she would open those beautiful eyes again and look at me as though I was the only person in the room. So I sat beside her, held her hand, and waited.The first twenty-four hours passed without any real

    I knew something was wrong the moment Marianne stopped speaking. She had been watching the monitor for several seconds, her eyes moving between the readings and my face, and I could see something changing in her expression. The room suddenly felt colder. Cassius was beside me, his fingers wrapped tightly around mine, but even his warmth couldn't stop the fear crawling through my body. Another contraction began before I could ask anything, and this time it was different. It wasn't merely painful. It was deep, crushing, and frighteningly powerful. I cried out and curled slightly around my stomach, tears immediately spilling from my eyes. "Marianne," I gasped. "What's happening?" She moved toward the monitor again. "Sienna, I need you to stay calm." I almost laughed because everyone always said that when there was absolutely nothing calm about the situation. "Don't tell me to stay calm. Tell me what's happening." Cassius squeezed my hand. "She's going to tell us." Marianne looked at him

    Everything happened too quickly after Marianne told us the contractions were getting stronger. One moment I was sitting beside Sienna, holding her hand and desperately pretending that I wasn't terrified, and the next the entire room seemed to change. Healers began moving around us with a speed that made my stomach drop. Marianne checked the monitors again, her expression becoming more serious with every passing second. Sienna looked at me, frightened and exhausted, and I knew before anyone said it that something had changed. "What is happening?" I demanded. Marianne looked at me. "Cassius, we need to deliver the babies." My entire body went cold. "Now?" "Yes." Sienna's eyes widened. "No." Her voice was barely audible. "They're too early." Marianne immediately came closer. "We know. But continuing the labour has become more dangerous." "What does that mean?" I asked. "It means we need to get them out safely." Sienna started crying. "Cassius..." I leaned over her immediately. "I'm here.
