The Alpha’s Moonbreather CHAPTER 59
Darkness was not the absence of light.It pulsed.It breathed.It watched.Elise stood in the belly of the Hollow. The chamber stretched endlessly around her, as though time had folded in on itself and forgotten how to end. Faint runes blinked in the walls like dying stars. The air was warm—humid with power that felt ancient and young at once.And ahead of her stood the shadow.Its outline flickered like smoke in flame.Its face… hers. But not.The voice echoed again. This time, clearer.“They built the cycle to bind us. But you are the breach.”Elise didn’t flinch. She stepped closer, fists clenched, her pendant—what remained of it—dangling like a torn promise at her throat.“What are you?” she demanded.The shadow tilted its head. “I am the echo. The leftover. The warning buried in blood.”“Elaborate like a sane person.”“You are the elaboration,” it replied, stepping into the moonlight shaft now slicing through the cracked ceiling. “They called it a gift, Elise. Your bloodline.

“The truth doesn’t burn. It reveals who set the fire.”The ceremonial hall of Whitemoon was full of smiling masks. They tilted their heads in approval, clapped at the proper moments, raised crystal glasses to toasts they didn’t mean. Elise stood before them draped in moon-silver, wrists still bound in the “honor cuffs” that sparkled beneath her sleeves like decorative chains. She didn’t blink as Chancellor Ren praised her loyalty.“…a symbol of unity between the old ways and the new, our bridge to peace in uncertain times.”Unity.Peace.Symbols.They liked to use those words like balm.She used to believe in them. Now, they felt like ash on her tongue.She looked around the hall and saw none of her allies. No Mira. No Saelin. No Nessa. Even Kai had disappeared, swallowed by whatever guilt weighed down his feet.Her throat felt dry. But she stood straighter, her voice cool and even when she spoke: “I am honored to serve.”A lie. One more mask in the hall of many.Hours Earlier – T

The wind over the western ridge did not howl — it sighed, as though even the skies mourned.Elise stood at the balcony of the eastern wing, her fingers curled around the cold stone ledge. From here, Whitemoon looked deceptively peaceful. The banners still flew. The courtyards still buzzed with routine. But she felt it. The shift. The way the air pulsed differently, as if something underneath the castle floor was watching. Waiting.She hadn’t spoken much since the binding. Not to Kai. Not to anyone. The ceremonial cuffs still pressed around her wrists, silver filigree glowing faintly when touched by moonlight. A symbol of her “honor.” A prison by another name.Her aunt was gone.No one said it aloud. But Thea had not returned. And that silence was louder than any announcement.Elise exhaled slowly. Her power was still a ghost in her blood, dormant and unreachable. And she, despite all her training, all her sacrifices, was once again reduced to a symbol.She left the balcony and return
The Alpha’s Moonbreather CHAPTER 56
It had been seven days since Thea vanished.No one spoke of it. Not directly. Not in council halls or in whispers between guards. No formal notice. No search. Just silence—like the Hollow had devoured her, and the world moved on to smoother lies.But Nessa hadn’t forgotten.The healer walked alone that morning, boots crunching lightly across the dew-soaked forest. Her basket was empty. No herbs. No ointments. Just a blade tucked into her belt and a name circling her mind like a storm.Find the man beyond the ruins. He knows what the council won’t say.Thea had whispered that days ago, her hand tight on Nessa’s wrist. It had sounded like a final instruction. Now it felt like a warning.Nessa passed beyond the forest’s southern border, beyond the marked lands of Everglade, where the soil turned black with forgotten magic and the trees leaned too closely together. The ruins came into view—a crumbling old estate with spires snapped in half, moss clinging to what had once been marble.This

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

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
