The Alpha’s Moonbreather CHAPTER 63
Whitemoon – Daybreak After the BreakingThe streets were quiet, but not dead.Gone were the guards in ceremonial armor. Gone were the patrols that walked in pairs with hands on aether-blades and eyes on girls.Instead, children stood in doorways.Old women sat on rooftops.The wind that blew through the streets carried a weight it hadn’t before: not fear, but awareness.Inside the Council Hall – Final MeetingThe throne room, stripped of pretense, smelled of sweat and dust. Half the stained glass was gone. The banners had been pulled down. Elders who remained sat hunched around the high table—no longer above it, but level.Saelin stood.His robes were torn. His eyes sunken.“You all voted to bind her,” he said, voice hoarse. “You all signed off.”Silence.Elder Varnus tried to speak but coughed blood instead.Dareth leaned forward. “And what now?”Saelin unrolled the last official scroll of the council—its wax seal cracked down the middle.“This body is dissolved,” he said.Murmurs su

Whitemoon – Infirmary of the High CourtThe smell of burning cloth clung to the infirmary walls. Not from any fire still burning — but from what had already been lost. Aether ash floated like spores through the cracked windows, settling over shattered vials, stained gauze, forgotten instruments.Elise sat beside her mother’s cot, unmoving.A single oil lamp cast a flickering shadow over the room, painting the sharp edges of her mother’s face in gold and bone. She looked smaller now. Not just sick. Hollowed. Her breaths were shallow, uneven — like each one was bartered from a debt she didn’t owe.“I wanted to see you again,” her mother whispered.Elise didn’t cry. Not yet. Her fingers tightened slightly around the frail, cold hand beneath hers.“You did,” she said. “I’m here.”Her mother’s lips trembled upward, just a bit. “You were always too soft.”“I’m not soft anymore,” Elise murmured.“You are,” her mother said, barely audible. “That’s why it worked.”Flashback – The Hidden Room B
The Alpha’s Moonbreather CHAPTER 61
Beneath the Hollow, silence held its breath.Elise stood before the recording mirror—no longer a reflection, but a gate. It hovered like glass suspended in water, rippling with every breath she took. It did not show her face. It showed what she remembered, and what she chose to forget.She stepped closer.The chamber around her pulsed gently. Walls of memory, light-etched. Every footstep she took sent echoes through the floor—echoes that didn’t return to her as sound, but as voices.“She won’t survive it.”“We didn’t survive either.”“Let her choose. Let her end it clean.”Elise reached out.As her fingertips brushed the mirror, light poured into her—not magic, not power, but story. She didn’t feel stronger. She felt heavier. A chain of inherited pain wrapping around her spine, her chest, her mind.The mirror showed her a Moonbreather girl—drowned in the ceremonial pool.Then another—stabbed through the heart while trying to flee.A third—chained to a prayer post, her mouth sewn shut
The Alpha’s Moonbreather CHAPTER 60
The scream from the tree wasn’t just sound.It was memory.It howled through every layer of the Hollow, splintering the silence like glass beneath a hammer. The water that had erupted now hung mid-air, frozen in white fire. Light spiraled from the roots upward like veins in convulsion. For a heartbeat, everything—even time—stood still.And then it began to fall.The light crashed back into the pool in a roar that shook the chamber. Elise stumbled, her boots skidding over the now-wet stone floor. Behind her, Kai caught her arm, steadying her as the Hollow twisted in response.“Elise,” he breathed, eyes scanning the violently shifting chamber. “What is this place?”She didn’t answer.Because she wasn’t sure anymore.In front of them, the tree still stood—white as death, its bark pulsing like a heartbeat. The leaves had stopped glowing. They shimmered now with a dull sheen, like silver mourning cloth. And at the foot of the tree… something was moving.Elise tensed.From the boiling pool,

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
