Diana

The Elders rise from their seats, their robes brushing against the polished floors as they turn and disappear through a grand door behind their table. The heavy oak doors close with a resonant thud, and silence settles over the chamber.

Billy stiffens beside me, his breath quick and shallow. He looks like a man waiting for the guillotine to drop, his fear practically radiating off him. Across from me, Marcus looks equally nervous, though he attempts to mask it with a smug tilt of his lips. His eyes dart toward the closed door, then to me, as if trying to gauge my reaction.

But I don’t give him anything.

Instead, I turn my attention to Dominicus. He hasn’t moved an inch, his posture as relaxed and commanding as it’s been since we walked into this farce of a hearing. His thumb brushes against my palm, a soothing rhythm that anchors me.

Barely a few minutes pass before the doors creak open again, and the Elders file back into the chamber, their expressions unchanged.

  • The Feral Alpha’s Rejected Luna   Chapter 415

    DianaFor the next few hours, all I'm able to focus on is the fight. I block out the deaths I'm witnessing, compartmentalizing the horror so I can function. My world narrows to the immediate threat in front of me—dodge this claw, strike that weak point, protect this rogue.I move through the battlefield like a ghost, my body acting on pure instinct while my mind retreats to a place where the screaming can't reach me. Blood coats my hands, my clothes, my face. Some of it is mine, but most belongs to others—creatures, rogues, fellow warriors.Slowly, agonizingly, we begin to turn the tide. The creatures fall one by one, their unnatural bodies finally succumbing to our relentless assault. Each death is hard-won, paid for in blood and exhaustion.Finally, mercifully, the last creature is killed. A massive thing that looked like a wolf crossed with a rhinoceros crashes to the ground with a final, shuddering breath. The battlefield falls momentarily silent except for the labored breathing o

    DianaThe force of it is incredible. The fog that has blanketed this place is torn apart and scattered in mere seconds, dispersed so completely that it's as if it never existed at all. The dark beam flickers once, twice, then vanishes.For the first time since, the sky of the Vala Mire is completely clear.And directly above us, revealed in all its glory, hangs a full moon.The silence that follows is deafening. After the chaos of battle, after the terrible sound of the fog's destruction, this sudden quiet feels almost sacred. Everyone—witch and warrior alike—stands frozen, necks craned upward, staring at the celestial body.The moon is beautiful, perfect in its roundness, casting silver light down on our blood-soaked battlefield. For a moment, I allow myself to feel a flicker of hope. Maybe this is a sign. Maybe the clearing of the fog means something good is about to happen.But then I notice the expressions on the witches' faces.Even they look shocked, their carefully maintained c

  • The Feral Alpha’s Rejected Luna   Chapter 414

    DianaI slowly stand back up straight. My heart sinks as my eyes take in the monster before us.I swallow hard before speaking through the pack bond, my voice tight. 'These are werewolves that the witches have experimented on. They've turned them into... these things.'Collective inhales, and curses sound around me.This one… its much larger than any of the other ones I’ve seen.This particular creature has the thick, dark fur of what appears to be a bear. Three of its paws look like they belong to a massive grizzly, while the hind right paw is obviously that of a wolf. The head is grotesquely human, with wild eyes and a mouth full of mismatched teeth. The tail looks like it was taken from a lion, and the entire creature is as large as two grizzly bears combined.When it emerges fully from the cage, the human head throws back and gives a bone-chilling roar that's part human scream, part animal howl.The witch has a cruel, bloodthirsty smile on her face that makes my stomach turn. "To

  • The Feral Alpha’s Rejected Luna   Chapter 413

    Diana Like disorderly dominoes, one by one, random rogues from the army standing opposite us start to collapse. Each death is swift but brutal, their bodies simply giving out as if some invisible hand has reached inside and stopped their hearts. I gasp in horror and take an instinctive step forward. I open my mouth and scream. “Stop it!” "Stop!" Dom shouts at the same time as me. Instantly, the rogues stop falling. The field falls silent except for the heavy breathing of rage from the Amadeus wolves and the frightened whimpers of the other rogues. Then a voice reaches us. "Rescind your command, Amadeus." I stiffen. The female voice is arctic cold, making me feel like I've been dropped into a freezer. This voice doesn't belong to the red-clad witch in front of us. In fact, it's not from any of the witches I can see. But I recognize this voice. It's the same voice we heard while hiding in that closet, trying to avoid detection. It's the Dark Witches' Matriarc

  • The Feral Alpha’s Rejected Luna   Chapter 412

    Diana They look relaxed, and the reason is what stands between us and them. Creating a living barrier of flesh in the large field between the forest and the castle are numerous rogue wolves in their shifted forms, all facing us with hollow, desperate eyes. I suck in a cold breath, my heart sinking as I quickly scan their numbers. These rogues number in the thousands, easily outnumbering us two to one. I know immediately what I'm looking at—this must be the rogue army that the witches have been exploiting, the displaced wolves they've been forcing to attack the packs all this time. I instantly understand these witches' strategy, and it makes me sick. They're forcing us to fight the rogues first before we can reach them. But everyone knows that having ordinary wolves fight against the Amadeus is nothing short of a death sentence. Even though they vastly outnumber us, they still stand no chance against Amadeus superior training and natural abilities. The rogues know this too. I can

    Diana"At ease," Dom commands, his voice carrying across the assembled army. "Heal and catch your breath. We move out in fifteen minutes."I lead Emerald to a quieter spot on the side to rest. Billy himself is mostly healed from our fight with those creatures, but his worry for Emerald makes him unable to let the child out of his sight. He settles beside her.The fifteen minutes pass quickly. The second the time is up, it's as though a silent command ripples through the group. Every wolf instantly straightens, comes to attention, their collective aura sharpening like a razor's edge. The transformation is impressive—wounded soldiers becoming lethal weapons in the span of a heartbeat.Dom looks out over our army of powerful warriors, his expression grave. "I'm not going to lie to you," he begins, his voice carrying to every corner of our makeshift camp. "We're in enemy territory now. This forest is riddled with traps, and we don't know the terrain the way our enemies do."The silence is
