The Everglade estate was located at the far end of the northern territory, hidden behind tall iron gates and pine trees that looked more like guards than part of the scenery.

The house was stunning; you’d only have that thought only if you liked things that felt cold and lifeless.

It had stone floors, huge glass windows, and a silence so heavy it almost felt like it could choke you.

The whole house was in black and white, hence, it had no life in it.

There was no laughter, no warmth, just pressure and quietness hanging in the air.

It was like there was even no birds or singing insects around.

The whole place was dead silent.

Becky Everglade stood in front of the grand mirror in her room, brushing her hair with slow, controlled strokes.

Becky’s room was the only one which had color, painted and designed in pink.

She had done this herself of course, after her father had given her the permission to do so after years of begging.

Her father had allowed her as a reward after she’d stabbed A

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 53

    The fog over the southern ridge had teeth that morning.It clung to the evergreens like sorrow, winding through the cliffs, creeping toward the gates of the Everglade estate with purpose. Not fast. Not loud. But ancient. And very, very patient.Inside the estate, beneath the layered stone and vine-covered archways, Thea stood before her mirror, combing her hair with deliberate slowness. She had never been beautiful, not in the way noblewomen were expected to be. But there was something sharper than beauty about her. Something enduring. She wore grief like armor and suspicion like perfume.Thea had known Elise would become a danger.She just hadn’t expected it to feel this personal.A crow landed on the windowsill behind her. She didn’t turn. Didn’t need to. Its presence was enough.“Three sent from the northern watch,” she murmured. “None returned.”The crow cocked its head, as if listening.Thea set down her comb.“She’s calling them. Whether she knows it or not.”A pause. Then

    The eastern wind howled through the valleys that night, dragging with it the scent of brine and burnt lavender. Not many knew the meaning of that scent anymore, but the old ones did. The Hollow was moving.Far from the southern cliffs of the Everglade estate, in the heart of the lower territories, a figure emerged from a covered caravan, boots pressing into the ash-dusted ground of what once was a thriving village. Now it was hollowed, too—walls scorched, windows empty, and silence blooming like rot in a field.The figure adjusted her cloak.No one greeted her. No one had survived.But that wasn’t why she came.Saelin stepped forward, her limbs aching but her eyes sharp. The healer’s daughter—once dismissed, once spared—had followed the pull she’d felt for weeks. The Between wasn’t just stirring. It was bleeding into the world again, leaking through old cracks. Someone had begun calling it.And not someone kind.She pressed her fingers to the ground, whispering a protection rite. But

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 51

    The Everglade estate stood high above the southern cliffs, carved into a hillside where fog never fully lifted. The trees here were older than the council itself, their bark worn smooth by wind and history. The estate had no guards at its gates. It didn’t need any. Not when fear did the work of steel.Inside, the air was warm. Controlled. Polished.The scent of clove smoke lingered from the hearth, mixing with aged leather and old paper.Elder Everglade stood by the window in his study, one hand resting on the carved stone sill, the other swirling amber liquid in a crystal glass. His robes were unwrinkled, his hair combed back in an immaculate line, his bearing effortlessly noble.He didn’t turn when the doors opened behind him.“You’re late,” he said.“I’m cautious,” replied Elder Kion, stepping inside and pulling off his gloves. His tone was clipped, but respectful. “Being seen at your estate this close to a council crisis could raise suspicion.”Everglade smiled without warmth. “I

    Thea had always believed in structure.In sharp lines. In the law. In the idea that discipline could tame chaos.But as she stood before the Hall of Elders that morning, she felt none of that control. Only the hum beneath her skin—a subtle dissonance, like something ancient was moving again beneath the world she’d built her life upon.“We must speak plainly now,” said Elder Kael, his robes soaked at the hem from the storm that had rolled in at dawn. “If the girl is in the Northwood, then she’s breached the outer veil.”Thea kept her arms folded. “She didn’t breach it. She was called.”Kael scoffed. “Romantic nonsense. We warned you she was unstable.”“She is not unstable,” Thea said, and her voice cut through the room like the edge of a blade. “She is unclaimed. That is different.”Elder Varya leaned forward, her silver hair tied in a knot, her fingers curled around the bone-carved staff she rarely used. “The Between has been silent for decades, Thea. You speak of it like it’s a road

    Thea did not sleep that night.She sat by the hearth in her private quarters, a cup of untouched tea cooling in her hands, her cloak pulled tight around her shoulders even though the fire burned strong. Outside, wind scratched against the wooden panes like a restless animal. Somewhere beyond the wall, Elise was moving through forgotten lands, and though Thea didn’t admit it aloud—not to herself, not to the council—she knew the girl would not return the same.If she returned at all.A knock came at her door just before dawn. Two short taps, then one long.A warning. And a request.She rose without a word, unlocked the door, and stepped aside to let Kai enter. He looked like he hadn’t slept either—eyes rimmed in red, a shallow cut still fresh on his cheek, his coat dusted with frost.“She’s crossed into the Northwood,” he said quietly.Thea said nothing.Kai continued, “Joren tracked her as far as the ridge. Beyond that, the mist was too thick. He swears he saw something move in it.”

    Where Silence Begins to SpeakThe forest beyond the northern wall had not been touched in a generation.Most called it cursed. Some said it breathed at night. A few believed it was where the dead went when they were forgotten too quickly.Elise didn’t care what it was called.She crossed into it before sunrise, her boots damp with frost, her fingers still cold from a sleep that hadn’t come. No map, no compass. Just the pull.It wasn’t a voice. Not a vision. Just that now-familiar thrum deep in her ribs, like her body remembered something her mind had forgotten.Branches clawed at her sleeves. Roots twisted beneath the moss like veins. The world was quiet here—not with peace, but with pressure. Like the forest itself was holding its breath.She didn’t flinch.She just kept walking.Back in the settlement, the discovery of her absence caused a tremor.Thea was the first to see the empty cot. She didn’t speak as the guards were roused and questioned, as warriors were dispatched to search
