I grinned. He shook his head. But I caught it. The smile he was fighting. The one that crept in from the corners of his mouth despite everything he was doing to stop it. The smile of a man who’d just been given permission to want something for himself, something beyond duty and service and standing behind someone else’s throne.

“She’s good for you,

  • The Alpha’s Shadow Luna   Chapter 134

    DarienI stared at my phone for a long time after the call ended.The hotel room was quiet. The vending machine hummed through the wall. Cain’s snoring had stopped, which meant he’d heard me talking and was awake, giving me the courtesy of silence while I processed what I’d just been told.A virus that was parasitic. Feeding on her magic. Weeks, maybe a month, before it got serious.She’d told me not to come. Made me promise to finish the visits. And I had promised, because in that moment her voice had been steady enough to convince me that steady was the same as safe.It wasn’t.I closed my eyes and pushed out through the bond. Reached for the thread that connected us across the distance, that thin golden line stretched taut between my ribs and hers. I’d been feeling the strangeness in it for days. The muted frequency. The dimmed warmth. I’d blamed distance. I’d blamed exhaustion. I’d blamed everything except the truth, because the truth would have pulled me home before I was ready t

    Leah“Not immediately. But yes, if left untreated, it will progressively worsen. The fatigue will deepen. The power drain will increase. Eventually, the body simply can’t sustain the energy loss. Her body will give out and—” Maren chose her next words carefully. “But there is a cure.”“What is it?”“A botanical preparation. The root of a plant called noctis bloom. It only grows in old-growth forests, the kind that haven’t been touched by civilization.” She hesitated. “The problem is that those forests are overrun with feral supernatural beasts. Creatures that have gone wild. Getting to the noctis bloom isn’t just a hike. It’s a mission.”A cure that existed but was buried in a dangerous for

    LeahIt happened in the village square.I was walking through the market with Turk a few steps behind me, checking on the new vendor stalls that had opened along the eastern wall. The morning was warm, the cobblestones bright under the sun. People were out. Shopping. Talking. Children chasing each other between the market tables. A woman selling bread from a cart waved at me and I waved back, and for a moment, everything felt normal.Then, the ground tilted.Not gradually. Not the gentle sway I’d been managing for the past few days. The world tipped sideways like someone had grabbed the horizon and yanked it ninety degrees. My vision went white at the edges. My legs dissolved beneath me. I reached for the nearest stall and missed, my fingers grasping at air, and the cobblestones rushed up to meet me.I never hit the ground.Strong arms caught me. Keanu. He’d been walking beside me, talking about something, I couldn’t remember what, and he’d moved faster than my brain could process the

    DarienI grinned. He shook his head. But I caught it. The smile he was fighting. The one that crept in from the corners of his mouth despite everything he was doing to stop it. The smile of a man who’d just been given permission to want something for himself, something beyond duty and service and standing behind someone else’s throne.“She’s good for you,” I said. Quieter now. The teasing set aside because some things needed to be said straight. “I’ve seen the way you are around her. You’re different. Not softer. Just more ... present. More relaxed.”He was quiet for a long time.“She sees me,” he said finally. “Not the general. Not the bear. Not the king’s right hand.” He paused. “Just me.

  • The Alpha’s Shadow Luna   Chapter 130

    DarienThe survivors didn't want to talk.I didn't blame them. They sat in the back of a community center in the neighboring pack's territory, wrapped in donated blankets, staring at nothing. Just a dozen or so people. That was all that remained of the Clearwater Pack. Out of hundreds. Hunters who'd been in the woods. Teenagers who'd snuck out past curfew. A woman who'd been visiting her sister two towns over and came home to find there was no home left.One of them, a man named Garrett who'd been the pack's Gamma, told me what he could. His voice was flat. Mechanical. The way people talk when the only alternative is screaming.“They came just after midnight. No warning. No scouts. They just appeared.” He stared at the floor between his feet. “The first explosion took out the lodge. The alpha and his family were inside. After that it was just fire and chaos. Anyone who tried to fight was overwhelmed. There were too many of them.”“How many?” I asked.“I don't know. Maybe twenty or thi

    LeahI couldn’t sleep.Darien’s voice was still in my ears. The steadiness of it, the way he’d kept his tone even while telling me a pack had been burned. The way he’d said “bad” like it was a door he was holding shut with both hands and everything behind it was pressing to get through. He’d given me enough to understand what happened but not enough to see it. I knew that trick.He was protecting me. And I was letting him because I didn’t have the energy to fight it tonight.I rolled onto my side. The bedroom was dark except for the glow of my phone on the nightstand. He texted me right before bed.Remember, we have a date. I’ll see you in my dreams.I pressed my fingers against the bond in my chest. He was far away but I could still feel him. The warmth was muted by distance, stretched thin like a thread pulled taut across hundreds of miles, but it was there. Steady. Hurting.Sometimes I could feel the bond strongly and sometimes it went unnoticed. I was sure the longer we were mated

    LeahI looked around the woods slowly, taking in every detail. The trees were too quiet. No birds singing. No small animals rustling through the underbrush. The scents were gone, somehow there was no smell here.

His skin rippled as golden scales emerged, spreading across his body in waves of shimmering light. His frame expanded, growing larger and more massive with each heartbeat.Shane gripped my arm and
