Elara’s POV

I knew something was wrong the second I stepped into the east wing.

The air was too quiet. The silence too deep.

I picked up my pace, boots tapping softly against the stone floor as I rounded the corner. The scent of blood hit me hard—sharp, coppery, unmistakable. My pulse spiked.

“Andrew,” I whispered, and broke into a run.

Then I saw him.

Slumped against the wall. Blood smeared down his jaw, his shirt torn, one arm bent at a sick angle. Greg was kneeling beside him, pressing cloth to his ribs, while Michael stood nearby, sword still drawn, face pale and furious.

“Gods,” I breathed, dropping to my knees beside him. “What happened?”

“He was ambushed,” Greg said without looking at me. “Two attackers. One escaped. The other…” He jerked his head toward the body behind him. “Didn’t make it.”

Andrew coughed, his eyes fluttering open as I gripped his hand.

“Elara?” His voice was raw, barely a whisper.

“I’m here,” I said. “You’re okay. Just breathe.”

“You’re late,” he rasped, try

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 179

    Michael’s POVWe moved fast.The second the sun started to rise, Lora and I were already past the east part, slipping past the border into the dense pine thickets beyond the territory lines. There were no patrols, or guards. Lora stayed a few steps behind me, light on her feet but tense. She hadn’t spoken much since Greg gave us the order to follow up on Mara and Rhea’s movements. I didn’t blame her. The silence between us was laced with suspicion neither of us wanted to say out loud yet.Mara and Rhea. Trusted pack members and protectors.Or so we thought.“They escaped during the fight” I muttered, glancing at the tracks in the dirt. “Didn’t say a word.”Lora grunted. “And stole the ancient relic. That’s what tipped Andrew off.”“Smart of him,” I said.“Too late,” she replied quietly.Yeah. It was. We were playing catch-up, and with Dorian breathing down our necks, every second mattered.We followed the trail for another mile before the forest gave way to an old hunting cabin. It l

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 180

    Elara’s POVPain brought me back first. A dull, aching throb in the back of my head. My arms were numb. My mouth dry as sand. I tried to move, but metal bit into my wrists, cold and tight.Chains.Again.My eyes fluttered open, heavy with whatever they’d drugged me with. The room was dim—stone walls, a single torch flickering from a place near the door. Shadows danced across the floor. I was sitting against a wall, ankles bound too, arms chained above my head.Not the infirmary. Not home.I didn’t have to ask where I was. The stench of blood and damp earth was enough. Dorian’s stronghold. His dungeon, probably. How poetic.It was easy to notice where I was. I've been here on different occasions. But thinking about it felt like a lifetime ago.Footsteps echoed before I could gather my thoughts.I lifted my head. Slowly. Dorian’s shadow emerged from the dark corridor like something from a nightmare. Tall. Composed. That familiar smirk stretched across his face like he’d won the damn war

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 181

    Elara’s POVI stared at the figure in the doorway, my breath snagging in my throat.Elder Harrow.He stepped into the cell with the kind of quiet confidence that didn’t belong in a man I’d always believed was half a breath away from death. His back wasn’t hunched. His steps didn’t drag. And the cane he used since the day I knew him, was nowhere in sight.My stomach twisted.I couldn’t speak for a second. Couldn’t move either. The chains still held my arms, but this revelation had me rooted deep in shock than any physical restraint ever could.He looked at me like I was a child who had disappointed him. “Elara,” he said. “You were always… too curious.”What was that supposed to be? All I've ever wanted was protect the pack from Dorian and his croonies.But it turns out that we always had enemies in the pack. How could I've known.No wonder it felt too suspicious when Andrew was recovering and this so called elders decided to take control.“You?” My voice cracked. “No. No, that’s not—”

    Andrew’s POVPain ripped through my skull as I opened my eyes.It was like claws scraping the inside of my head, dragging through my thoughts. I blinked, chest heaving, lungs burning, and sat up fast. Too fast.My stomach flipped.“Elara.”Her name burst out of me like a gasp of air after drowning. I looked around, panic rising. The room was bright, too bright. Familiar, but wrong.Like I wasn't meant to be here.This wasn’t the last place I remembered. This wasn’t where I last saw her. I was bleeding on the ground when she came to my aid. But then I remembering moments I slipped in and out of consciousness.It was the infirmary. At the packhouse.What the hell—“Easy, Andrew.” A voice to my right.I turned. Greg.He stood by the door, arms crossed, jaw tight. His eyes were red-rimmed, but he wasn’t the kind of man who cried. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days.“What happened?” My voice cracked. “Where is she? Where’s Elara?”Greg didn’t speak right away. And that told me everyth

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 183

    Elara’s POVI spat blood into the dirt, wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, and glared up at the monster in the skin of a man I thought I knew. Elder Harrow.He looked down at me with calm cruelty, not a single hair out of place. His knuckles were smeared with my blood, his robes singed at the edges from the power I'd thrown at him earlier. But he was still standing—tall, smug, unshaken.“You disappoint me, girl,” he said smoothly, pacing in a small circle around where I lay. “All that fire, wasted on stubborn pride.”I pushed up on shaking arms, breath ragged, ribs burning like someone had lit a match under my skin. My legs trembled as I forced them beneath me, rising despite the scream in every muscle.“You were supposed to bring change,” Harrow continued. “Not rebellion.”“You were supposed to be dying in a rocking chair,” I snapped, teeth clenched, “not stabbing us in the back like a damn coward.”That earned me a vicious backhand. Stars exploded in my vision as I hit the st

    Elara’s POVThe ropes cut into my wrists as Harrow dragged me up the rocky path. My legs barely moved, every step heavier than the last. Blood crusted on my face. My mouth tasted like iron and dust. Dorian walked a few feet ahead, too quiet, too calm. That smirk still haunted his face like he knew something I didn’t—and it was only a matter of time before I found out.I coughed. “Where… are you taking me?”Dorian didn’t slow down. “You’ll find out soon enough.”I didn't like the sound of that. Nothing Dorian ever says puts me in a comfortable position.He near killed me earlier and whatever made him stop must be really important.The wind howled through the narrow cliffside trail. Fog clung to the mountain like a warning, thick and unwelcoming and I shivered.I stumbled, knees giving way for a moment. Harrow yanked the rope tighter, forcing me forward.“You didn’t kill me,” I said, voice hoarse. “Is this why?”Dorian turned slightly. The setting sun lit half his face in gold, the ot

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 185

    Elara’s POVI couldn’t move.The light from my eyes still burned, too bright, too unnatural. I wasn’t even blinking—just wide open, glowing, trembling as this thing inside me clawed to get out. I didn't even know what it was. My limbs jerked again, and the chanting filled the air like a tidal wave swallowing me whole.Someone touched my shoulder. I flinched.“It’s okay,” Jacob murmured, kneeling beside me like a priest comforting the possessed. “Let it happen.”“No—” My voice cracked as my throat dried up. “I’m not your key.”Jacob didn’t flinch. He didn’t argue. He just gave me that same maddeningly calm smile. The one I wanted so much to punch out of his face.“You are, Elara. You always have been. You were born for this.”Pain lanced through my back like a whip. I cried out, dropping forward on my hands. Every nerve screamed. It felt like something was trying to rip through my spine. My heart raced, thudding violently against my ribs.I gasped. “What are you doing to me?!”Kieran

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 186

    Andrew’s POVThe night air felt colder than usual as we stood at the edge of the clearing. The trees loomed like quiet guards, and the full moon burned white-hot above us, casting shadows across the grass. I stood still, my hands clenched into fists at my sides, the tension in my chest tight like a loaded crossbow, ready to be released.Michael stood a few feet away, arms crossed, eyes on Lora. Greg lingered by the tree line, silent, scanning the perimeter like he expected something—someone—to burst from the dark at any second.But all I could see was Lora.She stood barefoot in the center of the clearing, a pale chalk circle drawn around her with ancient runes scratched into the dirt. Her long coat billowed slightly in the wind, and in her hands, she held a silver dagger. The tip gleamed like ice. She was whispering something under her breath, the words too old for me to understand, but the tone sent a chill down my spine.“Is it supposed to be this quiet?” I muttered to Michael, m

    Andrew’s POVI threw on my shirt, barely managing to button it as Elara rushed into her jeans. Her hair was still messy, cheeks flushed from everything we just did, but the look in her eyes had changed. Worry had replaced pleasure. She knew me too well not to read the tension in my voice.She didn’t even ask what Greg had said again. She just grabbed her boots.“Do you think it’s Dorian?” she asked as she yanked them on.“I don’t know,” I muttered, heading toward the door. “But Greg sounded...off. And if it’s enough to make him call mid-morning like that, something’s wrong.”I opened the door, and the cold air slapped us like a warning. I reached for the keys to the Jeep, but before I could even hit the button, I heard familiar footsteps. Fast. Urgent.“Andrew!” Michael’s voice carried through the trees, Lora right behind him.“Thank goodness you guys are here.” I asked as we met halfway across the clearing.“We were relaxing close to the lake,” he said, breathing hard. “Got the sam

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 218

    Andrew's POVThe moment I whispered those words into her ears I was greeted with goosebumps on her skin where my lips were and a shiver.I smiled at the effect that I was having on her. I can't believe I managed to survive so long without spending every waking moment beside her.With a hunger that rose deep from my stomach, I shifted and captured her mouth with mine eliciting a moan from her as she adjusted practically climbing into my lap.Without any much resistance, she opened her mouth to me as my tongue slipped into her and I groaned my delight as I enjoyed the taste of her.Her hand rested on my shoulder while the other wound around my neck drawing my head as she intensified the kiss almost making it bruising.But I loved it. Every single fucking moment. I nipped on her bottom lip and sucked it into mouth as she grinded against my hard on.“You're going to be the death of me Elara.” I muttered as I broke the kiss for a moment to catch my breath as I leaned my forehead against he

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 217

    Elara's POVBy the time we all made it back to the cabin, it was well into the day. Bone tired, we all fell into position on a piece of furniture or the floor as we thought back to how the night had gone.I sat in the the couch with Andrew beside me. He drew me close to his side as he was scared that I would evaporate from his side.Michael and Lora took the other sofa in the room, practically sandwiched together. Greg chose the floor close to the wooden walls.“I can't believe we actually survived that.” Michael muttered as he looked between me and Greg.“Why will you say that?” I asked “I didn't know you had little faith in us.”“Oh c’mon, that's not I meant and you know it.” He replied giving me his full attention.I knew that wasn't what he meant. It was just that the look on his that still held disbelief just unsettled me and I wanted to tease him a bit.I sighed. “I know exactly what you mean.”“And?” He urged.“It was a miracle. What with the god rising and the way he was deter

    Elara’s POVThe first breath I took was like drowning in light.Not air—light. Thick and sharp and everywhere. It filled my lungs, my veins, my mind.Then I came back.And everything hurt.My eyes snapped open. The world rushed in too fast. The ruins. The silence. The blood on my hands. The echo of Andrew’s voice still whispering my name.He was holding me.His arms were wrapped around me like he was afraid I’d disappear again.“Andrew,” I croaked. My voice didn’t sound like mine. It was softer—richer. Like something else had laced itself through me.He jerked back just enough to look at me, his face streaked with blood and ash and tears. His lips parted in a shaky breath.“You’re awake,” he whispered. “Elara, you’re awake—”“I’m okay.” I wasn’t. But I had to say it for him.He exhaled and pressed his forehead to mine. “You scared the hell out of me.”I touched his jaw. “You offered your life.”“I’d do it again.”He kissed me, quick and desperate. It wasn’t gentle. It was real.I clun

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 215

    Lora’s POVThe world cracked.Not metaphorically. Not in the dreamy, nice and poetic way people say when things fall apart.I mean the altar—centuries old, cursed by blood and time—split down the middle with a sound like the earth itself had screamed.I flinched as shards of stone flew past my face. One grazed my cheek, warm blood sliding down before I could even register the sting. But I didn’t stop moving.“Elara!” I shouted, weaving between the broken stones and bodies. I saw her in Andrew’s arms, limp and deathly still, and something in me nearly shattered too.Not her. Please, not her. She was my best friend and the last thing I wanted was for her losing her life in this wretched place.Then Greg—no, the thing that had been Greg—turned toward me. His eyes weren’t his anymore. Red and empty. His smile too wide, very wrong and completely twisted.My heart pounded, fists clenched. The god had taken him. It had used him.But now?Now even that thing was looking like it wanted to devo

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 214

    Andrew’s POVThe moment Elara expended her power trying to keep the god locked, it seemed like everything had stopped to focus on this particular moment. I stood screaming her name as she tried to do the impossible. But when I watched her falling, I couldn't take it anymore."Elara!" I tore through the red-glowing haze that had blanketed everything. My feet slammed hard into the ancient steps, sliding as I reached her. She was limp. Her skin had gone pale, almost gray, and her eyes fluttered like she was on the edge of leaving me. “Stay with me, dammit. Elara, breathe.”She didn’t respond. Her lips trembled, breath catching in shallow bursts.The air cracked above us—the sky splitting as the Blood Moon hit its peak. I looked up.And saw it.The gate was open. Not just some door or portal. This was ancient, raw, and alive. It was jagged light framed by black mist, spinning slowly in the heavens above the altar. And from it, something moved, a hand reached out.The forgotten god.Did

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 213

    Elara's POVThe scream that tore from my throat didn’t feel like mine.It came from somewhere deeper—bone-deep, soul-deep. My back arched against the pulsing altar, and the red light crashing down from the Blood Moon carved through me like I was paper. Everything inside me felt like it was breaking apart. Shattered pieces of a girl who used to be Elara.Then I heard him."Elara!" Andrew’s voice cut through the chaos.I clung to it.The pain was still there, like I was being ripped from the inside out, but I clung to the sound of him. It grounded me. Reminded me of who I was. Of the nights we used to spend togetger as a couple. As mates. Of the way he whispered my name when no one else was listening.I blinked through the red haze and found him kneeling beside me, hands cupping my face. His eyes wide. Terrified. His thumb brushed the tears off my cheeks, and I leaned into the touch like it was the only thing keeping me alive."You’re still here," I choked out."I’m not going anywher

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 212

    Andrew’s POVThe world went quiet.It shouldn’t have. There was chanting all around me, the sky roaring with thunder, cultists pacing like wolves ready to tear the altar apart. But all I could hear was the sound of her heart breaking.Elara’s eyes were locked on me—pleading, desperate, furious.And I’d faltered.Fates, I’d faltered.The girl beside her—the replacement—was glowing now. Not metaphorically. Literally. The altar pulsed under her knees, and I could feel the magic reaching for her like it had once reached for Elara.This was the moment.One path ended in her survival. The other? Salvation for the rest of the world.I didn’t move.My chest felt like it was splitting in half. The prophecy I didn't know much about seemed not to care who she was. It just needed a vessel. And now it had one.But she wasn’t Elara.“You said you loved her,” Michael’s voice tore through the tension, sharp and shaking. “So act like it.”I blinked.“She’s dying,” Dorian said again from behind me. Cal

  • The Cursed Luna And Her Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 211

    Elara’s POVI couldn’t feel my hands.Not because of the chains—they’d long since numbed my wrists. It wasn’t even the dark magic humming through the stone under me, or the pulsing weight of that fake moon bleeding into the sky.It was the woman.Her.The one Dorian dragged in like an offering. The one who looked like me. I didn't know how he managed to do something this sick all on his own but it had my hackles rising.She stumbled, dirt in her hair, blood down one arm. Her eyes met mine—and I saw myself.I froze.My mouth went dry.No.No, no, no. I have to get to the bottom of this.“What is this?” I croaked. My voice was rough, scraped raw from screaming earlier. “Who is she?”Dorian smiled, cold and smooth. “Insurance,” he said. “A vessel the altar will accept willingly.”“She’s not me.” I pointed out trying to figure out exactly was going on.“She’s enough,” he said. “The Blood Moon doesn’t care for names. Only bloodlines. Only sacrifice.”Behind him, Harrow stood silent, arms f
