Elise stood on the front steps of the packhouse, her fingers clenched tightly around the hem of her jacket.

The morning air was cold on her skin, but she barely noticed.

Every part of her felt too warm, too exposed.

She sighed, her breathe showing in the cold.

Elder Kion was arriving today.

And though she’d tried to convince herself she was ready, her nerves betrayed her.

Her stomach churned, and her pulse rose.

Kai had offered to wait with her, but she’d asked him not to.

She didn’t want his comforting presence to mask her fear.

She needed to face this on her own, even if it broke her.

The packhouse had been polished until it gleamed.

Guards stood at their posts awaiting the Elder of the pack.

Even the air smelled different, it smelt sharp, metallic, like lightning before a storm.

She didn’t have to wait long.

The low growl of an engine drifted through the trees.

A sleek, black car rolled down the path like a silent predator.

Every one of the pack members was standing on the

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 24

    Morning came early after Elise had drowned herself in her thoughts. She had barely slept and had over thought every single thing about the packhouse, if she’d continue to be an outcast all her. She felt sorry for herself — she had gone from being the outcast with no wolf or power to being the outcast with way too much power thst the wolves were scared of. Her life must have been written and organized to frustrate her.The packhouse was quiet and slow to wake or become lively, like everyone inside was still tired from everything that had happened lately.Elise woke before the sunrise, tangled under the covers and covered with sweat; the aftermath of turning and tossing around too much.Her dreams had been filled with thick fog and whispers—Becky’s voice, the council’s murmurs, Kai’s eyes staring but unreadable.She sat up and pressed the tips of her hands to her eyes, hoping the consistent pounding in her head would reduce. She hadn’t slept well since the Council’s visit. Or maybe s

    Elise had never realized how loud silence could be until now.It stretched endlessly around her, through the halls of the packhouse, through the little sounds made in conversations, through the large distance between herself and the rest of the world.Although she grew up a loner, it was never quiet around her as much as it was now.Even though she was alone, she was never alone in real.There was either someone bullying her, someone talking shit to her face or someone motivating her with pity.It was never this silent. Right now, no one said a word to her face.There were just little whispers and hushed voices, but no one even said anything to her all day.Not even Kai or Lucien as they were nowhere to be found since morning.Even the wolves that used to greet her with nods or forced smiles now avoided her gaze like her eyes was filled with curse or like she could light them up just by looking at her.No one said it out loud, but the fear was there. It clung to the walls like a che

    The words they had said, the judgements, the stares, the disapprovals all still lingered long after the Council left.By the time the sun had reached its peak, Elise sat alone on steps of the backyard at the packhouse, her fingers clenched tightly to the hem of her sweater. Her breath showed in the early morning air, though spring had technically arrived. She kept sighing in the cold which made her throat dry.She barely felt it. Not the air. Not the warmth of the day. Not the dryness of her throat.Nothing.She had become a ghost in her own story.Inside the packhouse, the Council had come together once again. Another meeting. Another door closed in her face.This time, they wanted to talk to “the truth wolves”. The thought of this made Elise’s stomach churn. She could hear the low hum of voices from the war room—Kai, Elder Kion, Marcellus, and others speaking in sharp husky tones. Occasionally, a voice would rise above the rest before falling silent again. They had been me

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 21

    The Council arrived just before dawn.Elise stood near the edge of the training grounds, hands clenched into fists as the convoy of sleek black SUVs rolled in through the iron gates. A procession of wolves in ceremonial uniforms stepped out first; warriors who were likely handpicked to escort the Elders.Then came the Council.Four figures cloaked in deep, forest-green robes, each with a silver sash draped across their shoulders, stepped out in unison. The air grew colder, more tense. Elise could feel the weight of their presence before they even spoke. It wasn’t power she sensed—but judgment.Kai moved to stand beside her. “You don’t have to face them alone,” he murmured.She didn’t answer, eyes fixed on the group moving toward the main hall. She knew she’d stutter if she answered.She had to save her breath so as to not stutter when the council questioned her.All the tears she grew up wolfless, the council didn’t care about her.Now, she was still wolfless but with a glow, the

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 20

    Elise sat alone on the wide stone steps of the packhouse, knees drawn to her chest. The night air stung her cheeks, but she barely noticed. She just sat there, staring out at the moon as if it could explain what had just happened. The wind carried the scent of blood and smoke, but it was the silence pressing down on her that hurt the most.Behind her, the packhouse buzzed with muffled voices, she didn’t blame them.They were as fearful and confused as she is.Even she has never seen anybody glow the way she was glowing.Inside the packhouse, she would have to see all the confused faces and she’d feel guilty about the fact that they’re all confused because of her.More so, most of them sustained injuries because of her. Because the shadowborns came for her.But out here, it was just her and the moonlight.Moonbreather.The word repeated in her mind like a song she couldn’t stop humming. Not wolf. Not human. Something else. Something ancient. Something none of them seemed to un

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 19

    Elise couldn’t tear her gaze away.The figures moved like smoke, no footsteps, no words, just the rustle of cloaks too black for daylight. Each one was faceless, the hoods drawn so tightly they might as well have been carved from night itself. But the eyes; those pale, glinting eyes locked onto hers with chilling familiarity.From her dream.The same haunting stare. The same silence.Lucien’s arm slid in front of her like a shield. “Inside. Now.”But Elise remained rooted, breath coming in shallow bursts. Her body refused to obey.Kai stepped in, his voice a low growl. “Elise. Go.”The command in his tone finally snapped through her paralysis. She staggered back, grabbing onto Lucien’s sleeve as her legs moved on instinct. Around them, warriors were assembling, shifting, snarling, blades gleaming as the scent of tension thickened the air.But even with their numbers, something felt… off.The forest itself seemed to recoil.“Elise, come on.” Lucien guided her up the steps and thr
