The Alpha’s Silver Ruin 10
Sophia's POVThe Blood Moon.Ethan stood just outside the border of my territory, waiting. The moon hung high and red, bathing the land in a bloody glow.I walked slowly into the clearing, my silver hair a stark river of white against the blood-red moonlight. I stopped ten feet in front of him.Ethan fell to his knees."Sophia… please…" his voice was a raw whisper. "Give me a chance…""A chance?" I asked, my voice flat. "To do what?""To atone," he choked out, crawling a foot closer on the damp earth. "I'll do anything…""Anything?" I finally turned to face him, my silver eyes gleaming under the Blood Moon. "Then tell me, where is Tessa now?""She's been sentenced," he said, his head bowed. "The Council announced the verdict today.""What was the sentence?""Her wolf was severed from her—a permanent severing," his voice was soft. "She was sentenced to life at hard labor in the silver mines. All her assets have been forfeited to your pack as restitution."I nodded slowly. For a werewo

Sophia’s POVThe sight of Ethan kneeling before me shattered the present. My mind wasn't in the penthouse anymore. It was a month ago.I woke on a cold, metal slab.The air reeked of antiseptic, and a sterile fluorescent light hummed above me.I… was alive?"By the Goddess! She's awake!" a voice gasped.I struggled to sit up and saw Detective Morgan staring, his eyes wide with disbelief."That's... impossible," his voice trembled. "You've been dead for three days..."I looked down at my body.The skin, once twisted by silver poison, was completely healed. Every wound was gone, without even a scar left behind."The Moon Pool..." I whispered.Morgan looked at me, confused."The place where I fell," I rasped, my voice raw. "That was the Moon Pool. The sacred waters..."A powerful Alpha aura rolled off me in waves, and the instruments in the morgue began to vibrate faintly."The... Moon Wolf bloodline?" Morgan gasped.I nodded.That was the key. The brink of death, the waters of the Moo

Ethan's POVA week later, the Moonlight Pack hosted the largest werewolf business summit on the West Coast. Every partner Ethan had lost would be there.This was his last chance to save the Blackwood pack."Alpha, are you sure you should go?" Jake asked, his voice laced with worry. "Your condition…"He was right. The loss of his mate was a constant drain on his Alpha power. He could barely project a basic aura of command anymore."I have to," he said, straightening his suit. "The Blackwood pack will not go down like this."The summit was held at the Celestial Hotel. The parking lot was filled with luxury cars belonging to his former partners. He walked into the grand hall and saw them—Marcus from Silverpeak, Elena from Moonstone, and David from Nightfall.Their expressions turned complicated when they saw him."Ethan," Marcus said first. "Didn't expect to see you here.""Of course I'm here," he said, fighting to maintain his Alpha dignity. "We've been partners for years. I at least d

Ethan's POVThree days later. The Lycan High Court.Tessa stood in the accused's dock, clad in an orange jumpsuit, heavy silver cuffs on her wrists suppressing her wolf. When she saw Ethan walk into the courtroom, her face lit up with hope."Ethan!" she cried, jumping to her feet. "You came for me! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"Ethan didn't even look at her. He crossed the room and took his place not with the defense, but with the accusers."Alpha Blackwood, please be seated," the Chief Justice motioned.The hope on Tessa's face curdled into confusion. "Ethan? What… what are you doing over there?""I am here to testify against you, Tessa," Ethan's voice was cold steel. "For the premeditated murder of my mate, Luna Sophia."A dead silence fell over the court."What?" Tessa's voice shook. "Ethan, what are you talking about?""I have evidence." He held up an evidence bag containing the silver dagger. "The weapon. It has the victim's blood and your fingerprints on it.""That… that was

Ethan's POVFifteen days later.Ethan stood on the balcony of the pack house, watching Tessa try on her gown for the Luna ceremony.Tonight, she would officially become his Luna."Ethan, how do I look?" Tessa asked, twirling in the white silk dress."Beautiful," he smiled. "You were born to be Luna.""Any word from Sophia? Has she responded to your mind-links?""No." Ethan’s jaw tightened. "She's off somewhere throwing a tantrum, trying to make me feel guilty. It won't work. After the ceremony, I'll track her down and force her to renounce her claim."Just then, his phone buzzed.A news alert.[Breaking News: Body recovered from Moon Lake identified as Sophia Sterling, mate of Blackwood Alpha Ethan Blackwood. Authorities cite evidence of silver poisoning and suspect foul play...]The phone slipped from Ethan's hand and clattered onto the floor.The broadcast shattered Ethan's world.Sophia… dead?An agony so sharp it felt physical ripped through his chest, the mating bond searing him l

Three days later, I buried my child in the pack's small cemetery.A single, tiny headstone read: "Blackwood Baby - Too Soon for This World."My father's funeral was held in the Silver Moon territory. I was the only one there.No one from the Blackwood pack came. They were all "too busy."After the burial, I returned to the pack house to grab my last few things.My life with Ethan had been condensed into two small boxes.I dragged my bags toward the pack's border. The night was cold, the moon just a sliver away from being full again.The loss of my pup's essence had left me weak, and every step was an effort."Sophia, where are you going?"Tessa's voice came from behind me.I turned to see her holding a silver dagger."What are you doing with that?""Protection," she said, advancing on me, a dangerous light in her eyes. "Lots of rogues out here. It's not safe for a lone she-wolf.""I'm about to leave pack lands. I'll be fine.""Will you?" She closed the distance between us. "You're a lo
