Hunted

The forest stretched before Lyra like a dark abyss, its towering trees whispering secrets into the night. Cold air slashed against her skin as she staggered forward, her breath coming in ragged gasps.

Every step sent a fresh wave of agony through her body. The mate bond had been shattered, leaving behind an unbearable hollowness. Her wolf whimpered inside her—broken, silent. The pain was so intense that shifting felt impossible.

Keep moving.

She had to run.

She didn’t know where she was going—all she knew was that she couldn’t stop.

Behind her, the Bloodfang Pack’s gates loomed, shut tight. The place she had once called home was now just a memory. An illusion of safety, torn away.

Betrayed. Rejected. Hunted.

Her stomach twisted.

She hadn’t even had time to grieve what she’d lost.

Because she wasn’t alone.

The wind shifted—carrying the sharp, metallic scent of danger.

A growl. Low. Menacing.

Her breath caught as she spun around.

From the shadows, a pair of glowing amber eyes st

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 16

    Blood in the SnowThe forest around the sanctuary had never felt so still.The air hung heavy, laced with the memory of the masked intruder and the warning he left behind. Every rogue in the camp moved a little more cautiously now, eyes sharper, backs straighter.Lyra trained harder.Mira had taken over most of her combat drills—brutal, relentless sessions that pushed her past exhaustion. Mira wasn’t kind, but she was fair.“You don’t get to hesitate,” Mira snapped during a morning session, forcing Lyra’s arm into a painful lock. “Out there, one blink and you're dead.”“I wasn’t hesitating,” Lyra growled, twisting out of the grip and landing a blow against Mira’s ribs.The older rogue stumbled back, grinning despite the hit. “Good. Maybe you won’t die after all.”It wasn’t praise—but it wasn’t an insult either. For Mira, that was progress.Later that afternoon, Lyra found herself summoned again—this time by the elder alpha, Darius. He stood at the edge of the cliff that overlooked the

    A New Kind of PainThe next few days passed in a rhythm that was both exhausting and oddly comforting.Lyra trained from dawn till dusk. She sparred with anyone willing—Riven, the scar-jawed female named Mira, even a few reluctant rogues who finally stepped forward after watching her persist in silence. She didn’t always win, but she always got back up.Her bruises told stories of resilience. Her muscles ached, but it was the kind of ache that made her feel real—alive.But even amid the grind, the whispers didn’t stop.“She’s trying too hard.”“She still smells like them.”“She’ll break. They always do.”She pretended not to hear. Pretended their words didn’t twist in her gut. But every whispered doubt was a shadow she carried to bed.One afternoon, Riven found her sitting alone behind the supply tent, arms wrapped tightly around her knees, eyes staring out at nothing.He didn’t speak right away. Just lowered himself to sit beside her, back against the rough wood.“You’re holding your

    Shadows of TrustThe morning air was crisp, laced with the scent of pine and smoke. Lyra rose early, her limbs sore from the previous night’s training, but her spirit was steady.No one greeted her when she stepped outside. The camp was already alive—rogues moving with quiet purpose, sharpening weapons, checking supplies, training. There was no small talk here. Just survival.She moved toward the training grounds again. Not to prove herself—but because she needed control over something. Over anything.Riven was already there, sparring with a bulky male rogue. His movements were precise and lethal, every strike a display of discipline and rage held in balance.He noticed her and paused.“You’re early.”“I couldn’t sleep,” she replied.He tossed her a smaller staff this time. “Let’s test your instincts today.”They began again. Quicker. Sharper. He didn’t hold back.She welcomed the bruises.Each clash of wood echoed her defiance. Every block, every stumble, every recovery carved away t

    **Whispers in the Shadows**The wind roared through the shadowy woods, brushing against Lyra’s tattered cloak like frigid fingers. Her feet, battered and bleeding, scarcely made a sound as she limped through the trees. Night had settled in hours before, yet she hadn’t paused her movement. Not since the sorceress’s warning in the deserted clearing. Not since the fire in her heart rekindled with newfound determination.She was no longer fleeing.She was seeking.Her wolf, frail yet vigilant, stirred restlessly within her. Whispers danced on the breeze—ancient, eerie, calling her name. Whether they were a figment of her weary mind or something more, she couldn’t tell. But something—someone—was beckoning her further into the forest.Branches clawed at her arms. The smell of damp earth and far-off wolves enveloped her senses. She halted by a fallen log, her breath misting in the chilly air.Then she noticed it.A faint luminescence in the distance. Blue, gentle, pulsing—like moonlight exhal

    Whispers of the PastThe rogue sanctuary was different from what Lyra had envisioned.Located deep in a secluded valley, surrounded by towering evergreens and ancient stones, the camp radiated a quiet strength. Tents and wooden structures adorned the clearing, with smoke curling up from small campfires, and wary, judging eyes watched her every movement.Riven had assured her that the place was safe.But Lyra quickly understood that safety was a relative concept.As she walked alongside him through the camp's core, some wolves turned away. Others observed her with silent scrutiny. None offered a smile.“She’s with me,” Riven had declared earlier. No one challenged him, yet they showed no signs of welcoming her, either.“She seems too pristine,” a woman whispered beneath her breath. “Too proud.”“She’ll crumble like the rest,” a man scoffed.Lyra caught every comment. She held her head high, though her heart felt heavy. This sanctuary was her only hope—and already, she felt like prey, b
