CHARLOTTE

We hid where the stone jutted out, pressed tight against it so our shoulders nearly touched. The cave air was cold and smelled like old iron and wet fur. Matilda was down in the center, kneeling like some servant of the dark, her silk ruined by mud. She looked nothing like the woman who sat primly at the palace table. Every time she spoke, the sigils carved into the wall flared and a weak, cold light crawled along the stone.

Around her, wolves were chained in a ring. Young ones, old ones, big warriors, none of them were moving like living creatures. Their chests rose and fell like they were breathing through cotton; their eyes were dull and vacant. Their fur had lost its shine. Their muzzles twitched like puppets. Seeing that, something inside me snapped. Seeing my pack reduced to that… I could feel my wolf rising with a raw, animal rage.

Jeffrey’s jaw was tight. He kept his hand on my wrist like a lifeline, the pressure saying run. He mouthed it without sound. Run. But I c

  • The Alpha's reborn Luna: His Surrogate mate    Chapter 75

    CHARLOTTE The forest had grown darker the deeper we went. My legs ached from hours of walking, my shoulders burning under the weight of my pack, but I couldn't afford to stop.Kael trudged ahead, his blade slung across his back, scanning the terrain. Behind me, two of the palace guards carried torches that barely pierced the fog. Lyra followed silently, She looked exhausted, but as always, she didn’t complain.Until she stumbled.A sharp thud echoed behind me, followed by a muffled groan. I spun around instantly.“Lyra!” I rushed to her side and found her on her knees, breathing heavily, her hand clutching the dirt. Her ears twitched weakly. I crouched beside her, concern twisting my chest. “Hey, are you okay?”She reached into the small pouch on her waist, pulling out her slate and a piece of chalk. Her handwriting was shaky when she wrote:“Tired… need rest.”I exhaled softly, guilt pricking me. She was right. We’d been walking nonstop since sunrise. Even I was barely holding up.“

    EMMALAINE I slammed my palm against the table so hard that the crystal goblet beside me tipped and shattered, scattering shards like my patience across the marble floor. The elders stood trembling before me, heads bowed, afraid to meet my eyes. “How could you?” I hissed. “How could you let her take charge of this pack?”Elder Venn tried to speak, his wrinkled fingers twisting the edge of his robe. “Luna, the council voted...”“Voted?” I snapped, taking a step forward. “You call that a vote? It was treachery! You cowards stood there and watched her seize what belongs to me. What I built. What I deserve!”They didn’t answer. None of them dared. The fire in the hearth roared behind me, the shadows dancing across their frightened faces. My anger boiled like lava beneath my skin.“I should strip your titles and have your heads displayed on the gates,” I spat, circling them like a predator. “You spineless fools couldn’t even lift a finger to defend me. Instead, you handed power to that li

    CHARLOTTE I was already dressed to leave that morning, black cloak wrapped around my shoulders, my hair tied tightly back, the dagger tucked at my thigh. I had made up my mind to go to the Shadow Vault, no matter what it took, no matter what I had to face there.I was about to step out when a maid hurried into my chamber, bowing so low her head nearly touched the ground.“Luna Charlotte,” she said, breathless. “The council of elders have summoned you. And It’s urgent.”I paused. My fingers froze on the cloak’s clasp. A sharp wave of irritation rushed through me. I didn’t have time for their endless politics. Not when Jeffrey was lying in that bed and I still had no cure for him.But I couldn’t ignore a council summon. If I did, they’d twist it into something against me.“Fine,” I muttered, pulling the hood over my head. “Tell them I’m coming.”When I walked into the council hall, I knew something was up. Every elder sat stiffly in their seat, robes gathered neatly, faces grim like th

    CHARLOTTEThe wind was howling again.It rattled the windowpanes and made the torches along the corridor flicker, throwing long, shivering shadows across the stone walls. I’d gotten used to the sound of the palace breathing at night but tonight felt different. Uneasy. Charged.Maybe because I couldn’t sleep.I’d spent the last hour pacing back and forth in my chamber, my mind still clouded with thoughts of Jeffrey—his pale, still face, the sound of his coughing, the way his hand had felt so cold in mine. No healer had been able to wake him, and every passing day made it harder to breathe.And yet, somewhere deep inside me, there was a voice whispering that this wasn’t the end. That someone had done this on purpose.I stopped pacing and glanced toward my mother’s old chest, sitting half-covered in dust near the corner of the room. She’d brought it with her when she came here years ago, but it had remained sealed ever since. I never had the heart to open it, she always said it contained

    CHARLOTTE The room went deathly still the moment Jeffrey began coughing. At first, it was faint but then it grew sharper, harsher, until droplets of red stained his hand.“Jeffrey?” I gasped, my voice breaking as I rushed to his side.He stumbled backward, one hand gripping the edge of the table for balance, his face pale as death.“Jeffrey!” I called again, louder this time, panic rising like fire in my chest.He tried to speak, to reassure me, but instead another cough wracked his body. Blood sprayed across the polished marble floor. The blood stain glared up at me, and my heart nearly stopped.Gasps filled the council chamber. And from the look on their faces, they all feared that Jeffrey had gotten a deadly disease.One of the elders whispered, “The Alpha is ill, he must have been hiding it.”Another muttered something about a curse. A few rose from their seats and began to murmur, their words were so vile one would think they had an issue with the Jeffery before now. Now I final

    EMMALAINEThe maid knelt before me, her trembling fingers carefully brushing over my ankle as she cleaned away the dried stain from my skin. Her hands were clumsy, too slow for my liking.“Not that color,” I snapped impatiently, glaring down at the tray of polish beside her. “The red one, not this dull thing. Do I look like someone who wears peasant pink?”The maid flinched. “I—I’m sorry, my lady.”Before she could finish, the door burst open with a loud bang, slamming against the wall.I turned sharply, my irritation rising like a wave. “What in the Goddess’ name..”Evelyn stormed in, her eyes wild and her chest heaving. “Get out!” she barked at the maid, who jumped and scrambled away, nearly tripping over herself as she fled the room.I straightened, frowning. “Evelyn, what’s the meaning of this?”She slammed the door shut behind her, pacing the room like a caged wolf. “You’re not going to believe what I just heard.”I tilted my head, annoyance giving way to curiosity. “Then stop pa
