Celeste’s (Astrid’s) POV

The council chamber reeked of fear.

Not the kind born of battle — the quiet kind that made men choose their words carefully and pretend they didn’t see the knife at their throat.

I stood behind Damien’s chair, calm on the surface, though the air in the room felt tense. Damien leaned forward, hands pressed against the table as the elders argued over numbers and alliances — all scrambling to hold together what was already slipping through their fingers.

“The Southern Pack has cut off all trade routes,” Elder Ronan barked, slamming his palm down. “They’re saying we missed a shipment payment.”

“That’s not true,” Damien shot back, eyes narrowing. “Grey Moon doesn’t miss payments — ever.”

I tilted slightly, my tone calm and measured — smooth as silk.

“Perhaps the misunderstanding lies in old agreements. The Southern Pack’s records are notoriously outdated. We could modernize the contract.”

Elder Ronan’s glare shifted to me. “And by ‘modernize,’ you mean let the Domi

  • The Alpha’s Rejected Mate Was The Stolen Werewolf Princess    Chapter 70

    Astrid’s POV Lucian’s endgame is no longer about power and that was what terrified me now Power announces itself Power is not quite Power is loud But Lucian’s plans seemed quiet What Lucian wanted was permission Permission from the council I got to realize this when I stood alone in the old training ring that had been off-limits for quite some time now. The training ground was an abandoned stone circle where pups would normally train to learn their first shifts and where young Alphas learned in the lower ground without any guard or guide. I stood alone without anyone watching me, not even Sebastian. I needed this space. The night was just moonlight and truth. The atmosphere is so pure. I closed my fingers around the relic in my hand and I took a deep and slow breath. “Just a little,” I whispered. “It won’t cause any harm,” I assured myself that I wasn’t going to open anything. Then the air around responded like they understood me all along. The air responded not vi

  • The Alpha’s Rejected Mate Was The Stolen Werewolf Princess    Chapter 69 part 2

    Astrid’s POVThe world felt like it was ending slowly The first sign is the silence. Not the peaceful kind. The wrong kind. The kind that settles over the pack like a held breath. Sebastian walks beside me through the east corridor of the compound, his shoulder occasionally brushing mine. He’s solid. Warm. Real. Too real for the way my chest keeps tightening like something is missing. Or worse— Like something is watching. “You should still be resting,” he says, glancing at me. “You’ve barely eaten.” “I’m fine,” I lie. I’ve been saying that for two days. Ever since I woke up. Ever since the dream refused to fade the way dreams are supposed to. We turn a corner— —and I stop. Sebastian takes one more step before he realizes I’m no longer beside him. “Astrid?” I’m staring at the floor. At the pattern carved into the stone. A crescent intersected by a broken circle. My stomach drops. That wasn’t here before. It couldn’t have been. I saw it in the dream—etched into t

    Astrid’s POV The forest became still I stayed drowning in my own tears until my eyes couldn’t produce tears any longer. The moon goddess has gone back to her world, the immortal realm. The rift had gone, the veil across the sky that gave access to those from the immortal world to penetrate through to our world has gone and the night has once again become silent. It was as if nothing had even happened in the first place. With the moon goddess gone, the alpha god gone, the First LUNA gone as well, and most importantly Sebastian was gone. He was gone too. Not dead, but gone. It immediately dawned on me that I have to look for Sebastian, he must be somewhere around and possibly wounded too. I stood up immediately as I began searching the forest calling on to Sebastian’s name hoping and praying he could hear me and even answer me. After searching for a couple of minutes that looked so much like hours, I was beginning to get tired. The world was ending. Everything felt like i
