The Alpha’s Moonbreather CHAPTER 55
The doors to the council chamber were sealed, not with force, but with intent.Lord Roland Everglade sat across from Elder Kion, a wide table layered with relics and maps between them. A low flame crackled in the hearth, its warmth doing little to soften the air between the two men.“It is time,” Lord Roland said, folding his hands. “Our realms are unsteady. We cannot afford more fractures. The Hollow has already taken more than we can spare.”Elder Kion, old and sharp-eyed, didn’t speak immediately. He regarded Roland as one might a coiled serpent—aware, cautious, but never cowed.“And so your solution is… marriage?”“An alliance,” Roland corrected, his voice even. “A binding. Between my daughter, Rebekah, and Alpha Kai of the Whitemoon Pack.”The air stilled.Elder Kion leaned back. “You would have Kai marry your daughter? After everything?”“She is touched, yes,” Roland said. “But she has returned. She is stable. And she still commands sympathy from the realm. If we present a unite
The Alpha’s Moonbreather CHAPTER 54
A distant rumble shivered across the Horizon Flats, a low vibration that reached even the bones. Elise paused on the threshold of the Oldwatch Cleft. Silver moonlight pooled behind her, illuminating the way she and Saelin had come. It lay ahead now, gaping like a wound in the earth—a passage between worlds, carved over centuries out of sorrow and stone.Saelin steadied herself on the edge. “Once we step through, it isn’t just paths and corridors…” Her voice trailed off. She rubbed her forearms. “It’s echoes. Things you feel before you see them.”Elise met her gaze steadily. “Then we’ll hold our breath till the echoes pass. Together.”Saelin nodded, lips pressed thin. She placed her hand on the rough stone of the archway. Elise did the same across from her, cold on callused sandalwood. They counted in their minds, shoulders squared, hearts beating the same rhythm—once, twice, their own private code.The air shimmered between them, rising and quivering like heat on desert rock. They

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
