The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 144: Shattered Innocence
[RHIANNON]Kael moved too fast, pulling me up and into his chest before I could protest. The embrace was instinctive, protective, and bordering on desperate."You shouldn't have put yourself in the middle of that." Not anger in his voice. Fear masked as reprimand."He needed—""I know what he needed. Doesn't mean you had to risk yourself providing it."I let him hold me, accepting the rebuke without defense because he was right and we both knew it. Jonathan's grief could've turned violent again. Could've lashed out at the nearest target. Could've hurt me without meaning to.Didn't change the fact that I couldn't have done otherwise."Any word on the search?" I asked against his chest.His arms tightened fractionally. "Nothing. It's like they vanished into smoke."The admission cost him. Kael hated acknowledging limits. Hated admitting his strength wasn't enough to fix what was breaking.We stood there while pack business continued beyond the office walls, both of us unraveling quietly
The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 143: The Weight of Vigils
[RHIANNON]Miranda's cabin sat at the edge of the pack territory, modest and worn in ways that spoke of years lived without excess.The vigil gifts stacked outside her door made my throat tight—candles flickering in glass jars, covered dishes of food that would go cold and untouched, and small tokens left by pack members who didn't know what else to offer. Flowers wilted against weathered wood. A child's drawing showed stick figures holding hands beneath a too-bright sun.Hope wrapped in tragedy, inadequate and almost cruel in its optimism.I knocked softly, not wanting to intrude but unable to stay away.The door opened immediately, like she'd been waiting by it for hours. Maybe she had been.Miranda looked smaller than I remembered. Thinner. Eyes hollow with exhaustion that went deeper than lack of sleep—the kind that came from grief eating you alive from the inside.She clutched a teddy bear to her chest, worn fabric suggesting it had been Maya's favorite. The rocking motion was un
The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 142: Dawn Without Relief
[EMRYS]Dawn broke cold and grey over festival grounds that looked like a battlefield after retreat.I walked through the debris with methodical attention, cataloging everything my eyes came into contact with.Extinguished lanterns hung dark and lifeless from their strings. Trampled earth showed where hundreds of feet had danced hours ago. Half-cleared tables still held abandoned plates, food congealing in the morning chill.The scene should've felt peaceful. Aftermath of a celebration, nothing more.Instead, my wolf paced restless circles, hackles raised against a threat I couldn't name yet.'Something is wrong,' my wolf insisted for the hundredth time since Maya's disappearance was confirmed.Everything was wrong. Had been wrong since Ethan's team was ambushed during patrol, and the appearance of that black rose. We'd just been too desperate for normalcy to acknowledge the pattern forming.Warriors moved through the clearing, continuing search patterns that had yielded nothing throu
The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 141: The Art of Breaking
[HUNTER]The last festival fire guttered out below me, smoke rising thin and pathetic into the predawn sky.I watched from my perch high in the oak, bark rough against my palms, the position offering a perfect vantage of Crescent Moon's frantic scrambling.The sounds reached me faintly—laughter dying into confusion, celebration curdling into panic, and boots pounding earth as warriors realized something had gone terribly wrong.Beautiful.The festival had never been the event. Just the cover. The perfect distraction to remove two people without immediate consequence.I cataloged details with clinical precision. How long it took for the alarm to spread—eighteen minutes from the healer's mate noticing her absence to the first organized search party forming. Which warriors broke formation first? Younger ones, predictably, the ones who still thought speed mattered more than strategy. How fear fractured discipline—watching them double back over the same ground, searching places they'd alre
The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 140: The Space Between Songs
[MARIS]The honey mead had gone straight to my head in the best way.Everything felt warm and soft around the edges, fear finally loosening its grip enough to let me breathe without bracing for disaster. Lena spun beside me, blue dress flaring with each turn, laughter spilling from her lips like she'd forgotten what it meant to be afraid.'This is good,' my wolf hummed contentedly. 'This is right.'For once, I agreed without reservation.The clearing pulsed with life—visiting packs mingling with Crescent Moon wolves, children weaving through adult legs with the kind of fearless energy that only came from feeling absolutely safe. Music swelled and dipped, drums providing heartbeat rhythm while strings added melody that made my feet move without conscious decision.I'd worked myself to exhaustion preparing for tonight. Hands still ached from chopping vegetables and kneading dough and stirring pots that seemed bottomless. Worth it though. Every sore muscle and burning finger was worth se
The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 139: The Festival of Fire
[LENA]My hands ached in that good way that came from honest work.Flour dust coated my apron despite three washes throughout the day. The scent of honey cakes and roasted meat had soaked into my hair, my clothes, and probably my skin down to the bone. Dawn had found me elbow-deep in dough, and now sunset painted the kitchen in amber light while I kneaded my thousandth roll."That's it!" Cora snapped her towel like a whip, making me jump. "Out. All of you. Festival starts in an hour, and I won't have my girls looking like flour sacks.""But the second batch of—""Is already done. Safi finished it twenty minutes ago." She shooed us toward the door with the same energy she used chasing mice from the pantries. "Go. Wash. Make yourselves pretty. That's an order."Laughter bubbled up from somewhere deep in my chest. When had I last laughed like this? Free and easy, without fear coating every breath?Maris grabbed my hand, pulling me toward the door. "You heard her. We're officially relieve
