Eloise POV

Darkness. That was the first thing I felt.

Heavy. Cold. Like drowning in silence.

Then, pain. A pulsing throb at the back of my head, spreading like fire through my skull. My tongue felt thick. I couldn’t move, not right away. My body was too heavy. My limbs didn’t want to listen.

Then I heard them.

Gasps. Footsteps. The sharp sound of something metal clattering to the floor.

“Oh Moon, she’s bleeding, get help!”

Maids. Two of them, their scents familiar. I wanted to say something, tell them I was fine, but all I could manage was a groan, my Insides writhing in untold pain.

Everything tilted. The ceiling. The chandelier. My thoughts. I was slipping again, swallowed by that numb, sucking void.

Then light. Too much of it. White and blinding. The clean scent of antiseptic burned my nose. A beeping machine to my right. Voices murmuring.

“Was this the pack hospital?” I managed to ask a nurse who was standing close to me. I noticed I was being pulled towards the theater room.

  • The Alpha’s Forsaken Luna    Chapter 30

    Hazel's POVPeace is a crying baby at 3 a.m., a bottle knocked to the floor, and a mate mumbling half-asleep curses as he searches under the crib. Peace is the smell of formula and burnt toast and Roland singing lullabies off-key in the kitchen while Elias tries to mimic his howl. Emery prefers silence, always watching, always tucked against my chest like the world might take him if he blinks too long.Our new life isn’t perfect. But it’s real.The day after the wedding, we moved into the old Alpha’s cabin. It still smelled faintly like cedar and blood, but Roland made me promise we’d fill it with new memories. We repainted the walls, replaced broken furniture, and built cribs side by side in what used to be a weapons room.Funny, isn’t it? That the place built for war is now where our children sleep.Roland has this laugh—low and rumbly like thunder on the edge of a storm. I hear it more now, especially when Elias tries to shift early and ends up stuck halfway, all fur and tantrums.

  • The Alpha’s Forsaken Luna    Chapter 29

    Hazel's POVWe named them Elias and Emery.I whispered their names the first time I held them, still slick from birth, still blinking against the light of the world they didn’t ask to be born into. But the moment I felt their weight in my arms, everything inside me shifted. It wasn’t just about survival anymore. It wasn’t about heartbreak, or revenge, or the mess we all left behind.It was about them.Elias cried first—sharp, angry, full of fight. He came into the world with his fists clenched and a growl I swear wasn’t entirely human. Emery followed quietly, like he knew his brother had already done the yelling for both of them. His eyes were still closed, but his little hand found mine, gripped my pinky like it was a promise.They smelled like warmth. Like hope and fur and rain-soaked leaves. Like everything I’d been holding out for in the quiet hours of the night when grief tried to crawl into bed beside me.Roland was there, by my side the whole time. He never flinched—not during

  • The Alpha’s Forsaken Luna    Chapter 28

    Hazel POVThe pain came like a wave crashing through me—sharp, sudden, and impossible to ignore. My knees buckled on the hospital floor, and I barely caught myself against the wall before I cried out.“Hazel!” Roland’s voice was tight with panic. He was at my side in seconds, arms steadying me, but I couldn’t even speak. Another contraction tore through me, dragging a sob from my throat.“It’s too soon,” I gasped. “They’re not supposed to be here yet.”“I know, I know,” he murmured, wrapping his arm around my shoulders as he flagged down a nurse. “But you’re strong. You’ve got this, Hazel.”I couldn’t even focus. My mind was still tangled in grief. Eloise was gone. Just hours ago, I was holding her hand as her life slipped away, feeling the loss settle into my bones like frost. And now—Now my children were coming.I wasn’t ready.But they didn’t care. Life never waited for anyone.The nurses wheeled me into a room, asking questions I couldn’t answer. The lights above me blurred into

  • The Alpha’s Forsaken Luna    Chapter 27

    Hazel POVThe scent of antiseptic hung thick in the hospital air, clinging to the back of my throat like guilt. Everything felt too loud and too quiet at once—Eloise’s heart monitor had flatlined, and now there was only the endless, ringing silence that came after.I stood frozen, my hands shaking, arms clutching my swollen belly as if that alone could keep me upright. I couldn’t stop staring at her. Eloise. My sister in all the ways that mattered, even if we spent most of our lives pretending we weren’t.She looked peaceful now, a cruel contradiction to the way she’d lived—chaotic, angry, misunderstood. Her skin was pale, lips tinged blue. Roland had done everything he could—his hands slick with blood, his voice tight with desperation—but it hadn’t been enough. Not for her.A single sob ripped from my throat before I could stop it.“Hazel,” Rolland said softly, placing a hand on my back. “We should—”“No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “No, I’m not leaving her.”He didn’t argue. He k

  • The Alpha’s Forsaken Luna    Chapter 26

    Hazel POVThe sun was just beginning to set when Alpha Harris and Luna Astra returned back to the mansion. Their faces were lit with a rare sense of ease, the kind that comes after a battle has been paused, even if not yet won. At least an alliance has been made.“They’ve agreed,” Alpha Harris said, stepping out of the car with purpose. “ Hazel, your father and I have formed a pact again. No more delays. No more distrust.”I nodded, though the ache in my chest hadn't eased since this morning. Roland hovered by the porch, arms folded across his chest, unreadable.“The rogues won’t stand a chance now,” Harris added, his voice lower but laced with resolve. “We’ll hit their borders at sunrise in two days. Coordinated attacks, no more scattered efforts. The warriors will be briefed by nightfall.”I should’ve felt relieved. I should’ve felt something more than this strange stillness swallowing me whole.“That’s good,” I whispered. “Really good.”Rolland stepped forward, reaching for my han

  • The Alpha’s Forsaken Luna    Chapter 25

    Hazel's POVThe moon was just beginning to rise, casting silver ribbons across the forest floor.I stood on the porch of our pack house after I had been welcomed back home, arms folded tightly across my chest.I watched the flicker of torches in the clearing below. Tonight was a meeting long overdue–one I never thought I’d live to see.Blaine’s parents were here. And so were mine.Alpha Rowan and Alpha Harris stood facing each other in the open, flanked by warriors and family. The tension in the air crackled like the sky before a storm, heavy with years of mistrust, broken promises, and bloodshed.I spotted my mother near the firepit, her arms wrapped around herself like a shield. She looked tired. Not from age–no, Luna Giselle was still as regal as ever–but from the weight of everything we’d lost. The war with the rogues had left scars, not just on the land, but on every one of us.And yet, here we were. Trying to piece something together from the ruins.“They’ve already agreed to th
