The distance between the human city and the Silver Moon borders felt like an ocean of tar. As a white wolf, my speed was legendary, but every second spent on the highway was a second my children were alone with a predator. I pushed my body until my lungs felt like they were filled with crushed glass and my paws bled against the asphalt.

Hold on, Leo, I projected into the void, hoping the fledgling bond between mother and pup was strong enough to reach them. Mommy is coming.

    The laboratory felt like a sanctuary of logic in a world that had become increasingly nonsensical. Outside, the pack celebrated a victory over a spy, but inside these sterile walls, I was a scientist again. The hum of the sequencer was a steady, rhythmic companion as I organized the three vials on the workstation.Leo. Maya. Toby.I had taken the samples under the guise of a routine post-fever checkup. My children had grown used to my "doctor mode," and they hadn't questioned the quick prick of the needle or the extra swabs. But as I stared at the blood shimmering in the low light, my hands shook. The High Priest's final words were a poison, and even my Luna light couldn't neutralize the doubt they had planted.I began the process of isolating the Silver Crest resonance markers. In shifter genetics, the soul’s imprint is physically visible in the non-coding regions of the DNA, a series of repeating patterns that vibrate at a specific frequency. To find a mimic, I had to look past the

  • The Alpha’s Shattered Mate: Her Secret Triplets   Chapter 24: The Lavender Shroud

    The Victory Feast was a sea of glittering silk and forced smiles. In the Great Ballroom, the air was thick with the scent of roasted venison, expensive wine, and heavy perfumes, but all I could smell was the ghost of a funeral.Killian stood at my side, his hand resting on the hilt of his ceremonial sword. To the Alphas in the room, he looked like a triumphant King celebrating his heirs. To me, he was a coiled spring, his every muscle tight with the anticipation of a kill. We were the only ones who knew that the man blessing the bread at the head of the table was the same one who had tried to rot our son's soul."He is coming," Killian whispered, his voice a low vibration beneath the sound of the violins.The High Priest arrived late, draped in robes of white silk that seemed to glow in the candlelight. He carried a silver censer that released thick, sweet clouds of lavender smoke. As he approached the dais, the scent hit me: a cloying, artificial floral note that failed to mask the u

  • The Alpha’s Shattered Mate: Her Secret Triplets   Chapter 23: The Echo of the Source

    The silence of the royal laboratory was a heavy, clinical thing. The triplets were finally asleep in the adjoining room, guarded by Sarah and a dozen of Killian’s most loyal warriors. After the chaos of the Great Hall, the stillness felt unnatural, like the breathless pause before a predatory strike.I stood over a lead-lined table, the corrupted crystal salvaged from my father’s pocket resting in the center of a surgical tray. It was no longer pulsing with that violent purple light, but it felt cold: a deep, absolute cold that seemed to suck the warmth from the very air.Killian stood by the door, his arms crossed over his chest. He had refused to leave my side, his silver eyes tracking my every movement as I prepared my instruments."You should not be touching that thing alone, Elara," he said, his voice a low, warning vibration."I am not touching it with my bare hands, Killian," I replied, adjusting the specialized goggles I had scavenged from the palace’s old research wing. "I am

  • The Alpha’s Shattered Mate: Her Secret Triplets   Chapter 22: The Corruption of the Stone

    The High Priest stepped forward, his movements slow and deliberate, as if he were carrying the weight of the pack’s entire history in his gnarled hands. He held the Bloodstone aloft, and even from several feet away, I could feel the thrum of it. It wasn't just a rock; it was a hungry, ancient thing that vibrated at a frequency that made my teeth ache.Thomas stood to the side, his arms crossed, a smug mask of righteousness covering the rot I knew lived underneath. The purple glow in his pocket was faint, but to my Luna-tuned eyes, it was a beacon of filth."Leo, no," I whispered, reaching for his hand.But Leo didn't look back. He walked toward the stone with the measured pace of a prince. He was only five, but in that moment, he looked like he had lived a dozen lifetimes. He stopped before the obsidian pedestal and looked up at the High Priest."I touch it, and then you leave my mommy alone?" Leo asked.The High Priest hesitated, his eyes flickering toward Killian. "If the stone acce

  • The Alpha’s Shattered Mate: Her Secret Triplets   Chapter 21: The Blood Claim

    The Great Throne Hall was no longer a place of judgment; today, it was a cathedral of power. The obsidian floors had been polished until they reflected the thousands of candles flickering in the draughty air, and the scent of expensive oils and aged wine fought with the raw, metallic tang of shifting wolves. Every Alpha of the twelve vassal packs sat in the tiered benches, their eyes fixed on the dais where Killian stood.I stood in the wings, my fingers trembling as I adjusted the silver lace on Maya’s dress. Leo and Toby stood beside her, dressed in miniature versions of Killian’s royal black and silver. They looked like princes from a storybook, but the way Leo’s hand rested instinctively on the hilt of his ceremonial wooden dagger told a different story. They were warriors in training, and they knew the room outside was filled with predators."Are we going to be famous, Mommy?" Toby whispered, his eyes wide."You are going to be seen, Toby," I said, kneeling to look them in the ey

  • The Alpha’s Shattered Mate: Her Secret Triplets   Chapter 20: The Hard Copy

    The ruins of Crestwood Memorial smelled of burnt plastic and high-grade accelerant. Where the administrative wing once stood, there was now a blackened skeleton of steel and shattered glass. Fire crews were still dampening the hotspots, their hoses hissing against the hot debris, but to the humans, this was just an electrical fire. To me, it was a crime scene of cosmic proportions.Killian stood beside me, his presence a dark, silent shadow against the flashing red lights of the emergency vehicles. His jaw was set so tight I thought his teeth might shatter."The server room is gone, Elara," he said, his voice a low vibration that barely carried over the sirens. "If they took the backup drives, they have everything.""Not everything," I whispered, my eyes fixed on the third-floor window where my old office had been. "I’m a doctor, Killian. I don't trust digital backups when it comes to the safety of my patients. Especially when my patients are my sons."I moved through the police tape
