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.”

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 80

    The tavern’s light fractured in Elise’s eyes, lantern flames blooming like orbs suspended in water. The air hummed, too loud, too soft, each voice in the room stretching into echoes as if the walls themselves mocked her for staying. She pressed a hand to her forehead, but even her palm felt strange—heavy and distant, like it belonged to someone else.Her bones no longer carried her the way they should. Her legs were too light, her chest too tight. The glass in front of her tilted, though she hadn’t touched it in minutes. She swallowed, tasting iron under the bitterness of ale.“Elise,” Luka’s voice came, low and measured. But to her, it wasn’t Luka speaking.She blinked at him, her eyes slow to focus. His lips moved, and she swore she heard only Kai’s voice, clipped at the edges with guilt and distance.Her throat tightened. “Why are you ignoring me?”The question fell out before she could bite it back. Luka stiffened, the faintest flicker in his eyes betraying surprise. He watched h

    The room swayed. Not with the measured rhythm of music, but with a sickly pulse, as though the tavern itself had learned to breathe and its lungs were filling too fast. Elise pressed her palms against the table, grounding herself against the wood’s sticky grain. The ale in her throat had turned to honey, too sweet, too thick, sticking to her chest as though it wanted to climb back up again.She should have stopped after the first cup. She knew her limits. But limits had never been enough to save her.Across from her, Luka watched. He leaned back, casual in posture, but his eyes betrayed him—dark, deliberate, studying every small falter in her breath. And Elise, blinking hard against the smears of lanternlight, saw someone else in his place.Her heart stuttered.“Kai,” she whispered.Luka’s gaze sharpened. Then, slowly, he leaned forward, as if the name belonged to him. “Elise.”Her breath caught. For weeks, Kai had spoken less and less, letting silence sit between them like a stranger

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 78

    The city was quieter than it should have been. Even laughter in the streets carried an edge, brittle as glass, as if no one dared to forget how quickly joy could turn to screaming. Elise walked among them with her shoulders hunched, her hood drawn low, her heart a weight she could not set down.Sleep had become a stranger. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw fire. Heard voices. Felt the cold hands of the girl who called her by another name in her dreams. It was not death that frightened her—it was the thought of becoming hollow, of waking one day with nothing left of herself.Kai noticed. Of course he did. But he had grown quieter, more withdrawn, his words clipped, his gaze averted when hers lingered too long. Whatever tether they had managed to weave between them was fraying, strand by strand.She felt it most in the silence. Silence that told her she was alone.And Becky knew.Behind closed doors, Becky watched her prey. She had always been patient—predators were. A net was

    The Everglade House wasn’t the only ruin that carried ghosts.By the third night in the half-burned shop, Elise could no longer tell whether the silence pressed harder inside the walls or inside her chest. The argument with Kai hung like smoke that refused to lift—every glance too sharp, every word too careful, as though either of them might split open if touched wrong.So she worked.She kept her hands moving, repairing the worn straps of her armor with scavenged thread, grinding herbs she had managed to salvage into a paste that smelled sharp and bitter. She set Kai’s sword across her lap and polished it until the steel caught the candlelight like ice. Anything to keep from staring at him too long, from thinking too long.Kai, for his part, lingered near the door like a restless sentinel, though his wounds still pulled at him when he moved. He checked the street through the cracked wood every few minutes, his jaw set, as if he expected the world itself to storm through and demand

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 76

    The shop still smelled of ash.Days had passed since the square burned, but the smoke never left Elise’s lungs. It clung to her skin, her hair, her every breath. Even when she tried to sleep, she woke with her throat raw, as if the flames had followed her into her dreams.She sat by the cracked window now, the glass long gone, the jagged frame opening to a street emptied of life. The city still stirred outside—distant wheels on cobblestones, the bark of a dog, a bell tolling from somewhere deeper in the smoke—but here, in this husk of blackened beams and fallen plaster, it was as if time had stopped.Her spear lay across her lap. She had cleaned it three times already, scraping away the dried blood until the wood was bare again. But no amount of polishing could erase the weight of it. It was more than a weapon now—it was memory, burden, survival.Behind her, Kai shifted. He made a noise low in his throat, half a groan, half an attempt to swallow it down. She glanced back without turni

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 75

    The square was dying.Flames clawed at the night sky, painting it blood-red as roofs collapsed in bursts of sparks. The mob had scattered—some fleeing into the alleys, others crushed beneath the stampede, their bodies trampled and broken. Smoke hung low, choking, thick with ash and blood.Elise stumbled forward, half-dragging Kai, half-dragged herself. Her spear was still clenched in her hand, though her fingers had gone numb. Her wounds burned like fire, every step a scream.“Keep moving,” Kai rasped, his weight heavy on her shoulder. Blood soaked through his tunic, hot and wet, but his grip on his sword had not loosened. His jaw was set, eyes fixed on the dark street beyond the inferno.Behind them, Mira staggered, one hand pressed tight against her ribs. She coughed, the sound raw, tearing, but her voice held. “Alley—there, before it closes.”Elise forced her legs to obey. They veered into a narrow passage, shadows swallowing them whole. Behind them, the square collapsed into chaos
