Diana

"You... you asked about the Castellanos?" Thomas’ voice is hoarse from screaming.

I realize he's referring to Dominicus's earlier questions in the interrogation room. The ones that had gone unanswered before his true nature was revealed.

Dominicus shifts his weight slightly, and Thomas's breath hitches. "Tell me," he growls, his voice vibrating through the clearing like thunder before a storm. "Everything."

Thomas's bloodshot eyes dart to me, then away. "Castellanos... must be her parents?"His cracked lips twist. "She bears the name. But I don't—"

The snap of another rib breaking cuts through the night. Thomas arches off the ground with a strangled scream, his fingers clawing at the dirt like a dying animal seeking purchase.

"Twenty-one years ago," he gasps when he can speak again. "Almost exactly... they destroyed a pack. I don't know which one—they never tell me anything important!"

The 'they' hangs heavy between us. The Dark Witches.

  • The Feral Alpha’s Rejected Luna   Chapter 259

    Diana His eyes dart wildly. "I... I told you! They threatened me! I didn't want to either but they said they would kill me if I didn't comply! You have to understand. I'd just become an Elder—I had so much to live for, I didn't want to die!" Dom rolls his eyes, “You’ve said that over and over already. That’s not what I want to know.” "What I’m curious about is the reward they offered" Dom, his claws extending further. "I'm sure they must have offered you some sweet candy for your compliance. Else, you wouldn’t be working so enthusiastically for them." Guilt clouds Thomas’ features as he stammers out, "That... that... they said they would reward me if I did well." "Oh, that was very nice of them," Dom laughs mirthlessly. Then his voice turns serious. "But how? How did they do it? Witches can't step foot on Amadeus lands without being detected," he continues, his fingers flexing at his sides. "A curse that powerful—that all-encompassing—would have strict requirements.

    Diana Dominicus leans down, "You say you were forced. That you had no choice. That you were also helpless... But that's only true for the first time, isn't it? But after?" His claws trace Thomas's jugular. "You enjoyed it. The power. The feeling of being... more." Thomas chokes. He opens his mouth but nothing comes out. His silence is damning. The air in the grows even heavier. Even the wind stills, as if nature itself holds its breath. "The power," Dominicus continues, leaning forward until they're nose-to-nose, "Every time you did something for them, every time you betrayed your kind, they would give you a little bit more. Sip after sip. You got addicted. The way it made you feel—strong, important, no longer just another aging Elder watching younger wolves surpass him. You couldn’t let go of that feeling." "A man like you... Let me guess... somewhere deep in your heart, you were always jealous of the Amadeus wolves, weren't you? Maybe even hated them a little." Dom's eyes bor

    Diana The force of the collision is so great it sends me stumbling backward. After blocking and dissipating the bolt of darkness, the shield of light that protected me disappears, leaving only a heat against my skin. Dominicus’s eyes flicker over me. A single heartbeat to confirm I’m unharmed. Then— Chaos erupts. Dominicus's roar of fury shakes the very ground as he turns back to Thomas. The Amadeus warriors surge forward as well in a wave of fur and fangs. But Thomas is already moving, his now free hand clawing at his own wrist with frantic desperation. I see his teeth sink into his flesh, blood spraying as he bites down to the bone. Then - A sound like thunder cracks through the clearing. Darkness explodes from Thomas's wrist, a swirling vortex of black smoke that reeks of burning herbs and rotting flesh. The stench is so overpowering I gag, my eyes watering as the acrid smoke burns my throat. Dominicus's claws slash through the unnatural fog, his massive form barely visibl

    Diana"Have you ever given it to anyone?" Dominicus asks."No," I say immediately with a shake of my head. "I've never taken it off since you gave it to me."His eyes narrow. "Has anyone else touched it?"A memory surfaces - Marcus's filthy fingers grabbing at the necklace when he tried to kidnap me last time. "Well... Marcus did. When he-""No." Dominicus cuts me off with a sharp gesture. "That worthless bastard couldn't conjure a spark, let alone light magic this powerful." His lip curls. "And wolves don't wield magic."His thumb brushes over the engraving. "Think harder, dulcis. Who else?"I shake my head, “No, no one else-“ suddenly, a memory surfaces."Ellen”, I breathe, "It was just—it was nothing, really," I rush to explain. "At the diner, when you took me there last time. The clasp came undone without me noticing. It was just... hanging there on my shirt… she picked it up and handed it back to me. That was all.""Ellen?" he repeats, his brows furrowed.I nod.I watch as his ey

    Diana "What the fuck?" The words leave my lips before I can stop them. Ellen—no, Eleanor—simply smiles wider and pushes open her front door. She adjusts her glasses, a floral apron tied around her waist. "Well?" She smiles, warm as ever. "Are you coming in, or shall I let the pot roast burn?" The moment we step through Eleanor's front door, warmth wraps around me like a grandmother's embrace. The scent of rosemary and slow-cooked meat fills the air, mingling with something earthy—dried herbs hanging from the ceiling beams? No—floating. Actual bundles of sage and thyme drift lazily near the rafters, untethered by string or logic. Dominicus's scowl deepens as he takes in the impossible cottage interior—the ceiling that stretches higher than the exterior should allow, the grandfather clock with planets instead of numbers, the teapot that whistles a jaunty tune entirely on its own. I blink. Yeah, definitely never saw that at the diner. "Eleanor—" he begins, his voice thunderous.

    Diana“Now,” Eleanor says, and the air in the room changes, “let’s get down to business.”Dominicus doesn’t wait. He surges to his feet, fury crackling off him like heat from a wildfire. “Why are you here, Eleanor?” he demands. “Why are you in my territory pretending to be a human? How long have you been here?”“Why didn’t you show yourself? Why take on this appearance? Why approach my mate?” He’s pacing now. “Why enchant her necklace? What do you know? No—” he cuts himself off with a harsh breath, “you must know a lot.”His voice is jagged. Sharp with years of unanswered questions.“So why the fuck have you hidden yourself all this time?”The silence that follows is thick. Tense. Eleanor studies him. There’s no fear in her eyes. Just something old and sad.“Be patient, child,” she says softly. “All will be answered. And you will understand.”He glares at her, breath ragged, but when she doesn’t move, doesn’t waver, he exhales a slow, frustrated growl and drops back into his seat wit

    DianaHis hands clench, knuckles white, and my heart drops as I watch him.Eleanor sees it too—sees both our faces. Her expression folds into something quietly mournful. A sad smile tugs at the corner of her lips, and she looks away, into the crackling fire.“You remained that way because I was unable to reverse the curse. I don’t have that ability-“He sneers and she insists, “I swear it!”“I swear Dominicus, if I could have reversed it, I would have. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t make a single dent in it. I tried”, she swallows, “That kind of terrible curse would require a lot of powerful witches to cast and even more sacrifices”. “It didn’t work so I decided to stay. Not just because you were important to the world,” she says softly. “I stayed because I was worried. About you.”Dominicus still doesn’t speak. But something in his shoulders shifts—just slightly. I see it. The smallest ripple of emotion beneath all that control.“I wanted to keep an eye on you,” she says, “to make sure

    Diana I look between them, heart pounding. “Wait—what’s so special about the knife?” Dominicus’s eyes find mine, grim and steady. “The hilt is made from the bone of the first Amadeus Alpha. The founder of our bloodline. It’s said that he carved it himself. Ripped out his own femur bone and shaped it with his teeth and claws.” I stare at him, stunned. “He used his own bone?” He nods once. “That knife was used during the very first Binding Ceremony—the ritual that created the first generation of Amadeus wolves. It was a pact with the land, forged in sacrifice and magic. That relic isn’t just sacred—it’s foundational. It holds the essence of our entire bloodline.” My mouth goes dry. “So when Thomas gave it to them—” “They corrupted it,” Eleanor finishes, her voice barely above a whisper. Her gaze goes distant, like she’s staring into something vast and terrible. “Now it all makes sense.” Dominicus leans forward, his jaw tight. “Eleanor.” She blinks, and turns to him. She

    DianaAlaric glances at Dominicus with a worried frown. “The present Amadeus pack used to be the Council Army, and if my information is right, then they should have only about the same headcount as my own Grimmholt pack.”His words are concerned, “It’s a fairly considerable number, but still… that is only the population of a single pack. There are even other packs with numbers higher than mine.”Dominicus gives a small nod, his face unreadable. “That’s true.”For a moment, the tension in the room seems to rise once more.“Will it really by okay? Won’t the Amadeus pack be overwhelmed?” he asks.It’s Eleanor who answers.Her soft, lilting voice fills the space. “Witches, as a whole, have never been a numerous race,” she explains quietly. “And after the war, our numbers were drastically reduced. Compared to the werewolf population, the ratio is roughly… ten to one.”A quiet murmur ripples through the room.Eleanor’s serene expression doesn’t change. “The gods maintain balance. The more p

    Diana “Well then, if you’re sure, Alpha Stefan…then sit”. Dominicus’s voice cuts icy, and sharp. Stefan flinches. But then, like a death row prisoner who’s just been granted amnesty, he gives a jerky little nod, quickly dragging his chair over and dropping into it with almost comical urgency, as if afraid the offer might be snatched away if he hesitates. The two Alphas beside him shuffle back toward the table as well, their chairs rolling softly on the polished floor. Dominicus leans back slightly, his eyes cool as they sweep the room. “I believe,” he says smoothly, “that should have convinced you — all of you — just how grossly unmatched any of you would be against a dark witch. And, of course…” His gaze flicks lightly to Eleanor, who smiles pleasantly, “…that you are all sufficiently convinced of Eleanor’s competence.” A moment of strained silence — and then, the polite Alpha seated beside Stefan clears his throat. “Yes, Alpha,” he says quickly, his voice respectful but calm.

    DianaEleanor’s smile is soft. Almost pleased. She lets him stew in his own sweat before she speaks.“Mmm… I think that should do.”Then, with a flick of her finger, the blade softens — the sharp crescent dissolves into formless wind, shimmering faintly as it coils around Stefan’s neck.I watch, breathless, thinking it will disappear — but instead, the condensed currents split, sliding smoothly along both sides of his throat, brushing the skin with the gentlest, most deliberate, and menacing caress, before they meet again behind his neck.There, in a heartbeat, the wind snaps back into form, reforming into a razor-fine blade.And then — faster than the eye can track — it whips across the room.CLANG.The windblade slices straight through a steel art sculpture standing by the far wall — a polished metal spiral about thirty centimeters wide — and cuts it clean in half.The halves clatter apart with a ringing sound, the edges gleaming sharp and fresh.The blade itself dissipates before i

    Diana Inside, I sigh. He could’ve spared himself this trouble with a single question. One question and he would have been told that witches are masters of disguise and manipulators of perception. But no — this one has to bluster himself straight into a trap. And sure enough, Eleanor’s sweet smile only widens with every word. It’s a gentle, grandmotherly smile — the kind you’d expect from a woman who bakes cookies and knits sweaters — but the longer it lingers, the colder the air feels, until a faint, prickling thread of danger curls along my spine. Quietly, I inch a little closer to Dominicus. Eleanor’s been alive for thousands of years — and though she’s never told me exactly how old she is, one thing is certain: she isn’t the type to let this kind of disrespect slide. Finally, Eleanor tilts her head, her voice as soft as silk. “Would you like… a demonstration?” Alpha Stefan falls silent, his sneer sharpening, and makes a sweeping gesture with his arm — the smug, careless kind

    Diana A low growl rumbles from Alpha Darius of the Plena Luna pack. His eyes glint with raw grief. “No. I will avenge my son. I’ll hunt down those bastards myself!” Dom’s sharp edge softens for the grieving father, though just slightly. His voice lowers, gentler, though still firm. “That won’t work, Darius. The best thing you can do — for your mate, for your pack — is live. The best thing you can do for your son is protect what’s left. If you rush out looking for a fight, you’ll only throw your life away. And that helps no one.” Alpha Darius’ eyes are red with rage and frustration. His trembling lips open and close for a moment before a strangled and pained sound is wrenched from him. Alpha Stefan however, is obviously not so easily convinced. He gives a sharp, sarcastic laugh. “You must be kidding me.” His eyes glitter with derision. “I’m not the kind of man who lets someone else decide his fate.” He sneers, gaze sweeping from me, to Dom, to Eleanor. “Especially not peopl

    Diana Alpha Livia clears her throat delicately, her fingers tapping once against the table before she speaks. “So… as the Priest…” I lift my chin, my voice cutting clean through the room. “Priestess.” She pauses, a flicker of acknowledgment in her eyes, then corrects herself with a small nod. “Priestess. As the Priestess, how exactly would you seal the Dark Mage? Alpha Dominicus mentioned the Priest played a crucial role before — but he didn’t explain how.” And there it is. My stomach knots faintly. That’s the problem, isn’t it? I’m not entirely sure myself — not yet. But Dom and I plan to find out as soon as this meeting ends. Still, we had agreed beforehand: no hint of uncertainty, no gaps, no loose threads. We couldn’t risk sparking panic among the packs — or worse, letting anything slip that the dark witches might catch wind of. I part my lips, preparing to smooth over the gap, but Dom beats me to it. “Even if she explained it, you wouldn’t understand.” His voice is

    Diana Her voice cuts crisply through the air. “The first time the Dark Mage was sealed… you said it took the Amadeus Alpha, the Primarch Arcana, and the Moon Goddess’s Priest.” Her eyes sweep the room, assessing. “Are you saying we’re going to repeat that now?” Dom nods once, calmly. “That’s right.” Alpha Livia’s brow furrows slightly. “And you, you’ll stand in for your ancestor?” Dom’s mouth curves in the faintest of smiles. “I will.” Her gaze sharpens. “That leaves the Primarch Arcana… and the Priest.” She casts a slow look around the table, then back at Dom again. “Until today, none of us even knew there was a Priest. Do you know where this Priest is?” Dom’s eyes flick briefly to me, and parts his lips to answer, “Yes. It’s-“ I finish for him. My voice quiet but clear. “-Me.” The room freezes. Every head turns. I keep my face composed, letting my voice carry evenly across the silent table. “Allow me to properly reintroduce myself. I am Diana Castellanos—Alpha o

    Diana Suddenly, a voice slices sharply through the heavy silence. “We have to stop the ritual!” An Alpha halfway down the table shoots to his feet, his face flushed with urgency. His Beta, seated beside him, tugs lightly at his arm as if to steady him, but the Alpha shakes his head sharply, his eyes locking onto Dominicus. Dom doesn’t even flinch. His voice remains calm, almost weary. “Naturally.” He lets the word hang in the air for a beat, then tilts his head slightly. “How do you propose we do that?” The Alpha’s response is instant, raw with emotion. “Easy. We find them. We go to their coven and wipe them out—all of them.” Dom blinks once, slowly. Then gives a faint, almost pitying shake of his head. “Easy?” He leans in just slightly, his tone still smooth but edged with a dangerous undercurrent. “How exactly do you plan to find them? Don’t forget—these aren’t wolves we’re dealing with. They’re witches. You think you can find a witch who doesn’t want to be found?”

    Diana The next Alpha my eyes land on pulls my attention instantly. He’s middle-aged, broad-shouldered, hulking—even among all these Alphas, he stands out as particularly powerful. His short-cropped hair and sharply cut features give him a severe, almost intimidating air. But what surprises me is the look on his face. Unlike the others, there’s no flicker of wariness, no veiled animosity in his gaze. Instead, he’s smiling. Calm. Almost amused, like he’s simply waiting for the meeting to begin, perfectly at ease. Intrigued, I shift my gaze to the third Alpha who stands out. And this time, I have to look twice. The Alpha, her Beta, and the two Gamma warriors flanking her… they’re all women. The Alpha meets my eyes directly—her expression steady, cool, unreadable. Then, with a small, polite nod, she acknowledges me before turning her attention back to Dom. All of this unfolds in seconds: quick assessments, sharp glances, the silent tension of predators sizing each other
