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
The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 138: Cracks In the Armor
[KAEL]The visiting packs arrived in waves throughout the afternoon.I stood at the manor's entrance, greeting each Alpha with the kind of calm authority that made them believe everything was under control. Firm handshakes. Direct eye contact. Words chosen carefully to project strength without arrogance.Alpha Darren of Ironwood Pack clasped my forearm with genuine warmth. "Your territory looks stronger than ever, Kael.""We've worked hard to maintain it." The lie tasted smooth. Years of leadership had taught me how to wear confidence like armor even when everything underneath was cracking.'They can't see the cracks,' Saen reminded me, restless beneath my skin. 'That's the point.'True. But maintaining the facade was exhausting.I watched Darren's Beta scan the grounds with professional assessment. Noted how his warriors positioned themselves with unconscious defensive spacing. Everyone was on edge despite the festival atmosphere.Smart. This wasn't a time for carelessness.More pack
The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 137: The Black Rose
[RHIANNON]The manor kitchen buzzed with energy I hadn't felt in weeks.Fabric samples covered every surface—deep blues, silver threads, colors chosen to complement the harvest festival's traditional themes. Cora argued passionately for crimson accents while Lena insisted gold would photograph better."Luna, what do you think?" Safi held up two ribbons. "Classic or modern?"I studied them, grateful for problems this simple. "Classic. We're honoring tradition, not reinventing it.""Knew you'd say that." Maris grinned, already tying samples to chairs as a demonstration. "Taste test next?"The afternoon stretched warm and comfortable around us. Laughter came easier than it had in months. No forced cheerfulness, just genuine enjoyment of planning something beautiful for people who'd survived too much darkness.Movement at the doorway caught my attention.Kael leaned against the frame, watching with an expression I couldn't quite read. Not Alpha assessing security. Not the protector evalua
The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 136: The Second Gift
[HUNTER]The makeshift throne felt appropriately crude for a king without a kingdom.Stone salvaged from ruins, cushions stolen from merchant caravans—the whole setup was ridiculous. Except, I made it work through sheer presence.I lounged with one leg draped over the armrest, listening to the rogues’ successful report with clinical precision."One warrior dead. Two injured. The survivor made it back like you wanted."Perfect. Fear needed witnesses. Dead men told no tales, but traumatized ones couldn't stop talking."Crescent Moon's locked down tight now," another added. "Patrols are everywhere. They enforced tighter curfews. The pack is terrified."I smiled—not wide, just knowing. "Exactly as planned."They'd react predictably because Kael was predictable. Tighten control when threatened, suffocate his people with protection they'd eventually resent.The psychological damage would compound faster than physical wounds ever could.I dismissed the rogues with a lazy wave, already bored
The Alpha's Plump Luna Chapter 135: The Enemy Within
[EMRYS]Riley's body lay covered in the infirmary, awaiting burial rites.I stood apart from the healers and mourners, outwardly calm while fury burned cold beneath a controlled exterior. Three years of peace, and we'd gotten complacent. Predictable.People died when leadership hesitated.No more hesitation.Kael's words from earlier echoed: Whoever's responsible will be dealt with harshly.I silently agreed. Mercy had expired with Riley's last breath.The pack gathered in the main hall an hour later, fear thick enough to taste.I positioned myself along the wall, observing faces, cataloging reactions, searching for tells I might've missed before.Kael stood at the front, refusing to soften truth with comfortable lies."Riley is dead. Garrett's critical. Ethan survived." His voice carried without shouting. "This wasn't random. The attack was coordinated, disciplined, surgical."Murmurs rippled through the crowd."What are you doing to stop this?" someone called out."How many more hav
