last update publish date: 2026-02-24 15:50:00

Edwin sat alone in the restricted section of the Alpha’s archive, way past midnight. The air was still stale, heavily laced with dust and ink. A single lantern flickered beside him, casting long shadows across the rows of ancient books and scrolls.

This time, he was all alone, without Ralph. He was not looking for battle reports or military orders. He was trying to looking for a record. Specifically, the financial records for the year before Tiara’s parents were killed, the last peaceful year o

  • The Gifted Luna    Chapter 75: The Smear Campaign

    Garrett's study was unusually quiet. No fire raged in the fireplace. No guards lingered by the door. It was just father and daughter, Garrett and Vanessa, who were standing in silence over a spread of papers and scrolls scattered across the table.*What do you think, Luna?* He finally said, breaking the silence."What do you mean by what do I think, father?" She answered. "I thought that you were the one calling the shots here," "Vanessa," he softly called. "You and I both know that this is not the time and place to start coming at each other or being sarcastic. At this point, we have very limited time, and it will be ideal for us to maximize it to our advantage," he said with a serious tone." Fine!" She grudgingly replied."Great!" He exclaimed. " So back to what I think, I think...." he said, shaking his head. " I know that she is nothing short of a liability," Garrett muttered, pointing at a record bearing Marah's name. "And if she testifies, it is really over for us. We will be

    The firelight from Garrett's fireplace burned low, casting angry flickers across the stone walls of his private chambers. The stench of burnt scrolls and records still clung to his cloak as he paced.Two of his masked enforcers stood silently before him, with their heads bowed. The kind of wolf who did not need details, only orders. Garrett's voice was low, deadly calm."We are at your service, Beta Garrett," one of them spoke after a moment of silence."Your task tonight is simple and straightforward," Garrett said."You should go into Alpha's residence," he said. "There is a maid called Marah. She sleeps under heavy guard in a place that I do not know if but I trust you to find your way around it. "The two assassins nodded, wordless, although they had doubts in their hearts."No mess," Garrett added. "No noise. You can poison her if you can. But make sure to silence her before dawn."Before the command could be echoed, a sharp voice ran through the room:"Are you out of your mind?"

    Across the territory, in Edwin's war room, Ralph relayed Miles' message with cold urgency."Are you sure that Miles can be trusted, Ralph?" Those were the first words that rolled out of Edwin's mouth."I have observed him for a few days, my lord. And I can now boldly tell you that he is now a changed man," Ralph said, boldly vouching for Miles."I really do know that you are right, Ralph." Edwin muttered, almost inaudibly. "I really hope so because, if not, we will be putting everything that we have managed to gather to risk. Our lives and loved ones included," "I assure you, my lord, but I will also make sure to do my own findings and confirm that he has told me nothing but the truth." He assured Edwin."The ball is in your court now, my friend." Edwin said, sounding uninterested in Miles. " But if he is telling the truth, what do you think?" "I think that Miles was telling the truth considering the fact that clearing his house is the best he could do for himself at the moment," Ra

    The council hall's side chamber was not often used as it was too small for full gatherings and too quiet for formal decrees. But that evening, Edwin had deliberately chosen it for his secret meeting. The inside of the chamber was lit with a handful of lanterns. A thick silence hung in the air as three trusted Elders sat around the circular table: Elder Xavier, Elder Eric, and Elder Nena. These people were a rare and neutral voice respected by both Edwin and Garrett's sides.Edwin sat at the head of the table, waiting for the right moment to begin the meeting. Behind him, Ralph stood guard beside the door, taking guard and cover. Edwin was being extremely careful as he knew that Garrett might have caught a wind of him having meetings with other members of the council in his absence.In a seat not too far from the wall sat Marah. Her eyes were downcast but steady and Ralph felt something for her, pity.Her face was pale, but there was a flicker of something new in her expression. It di

    Garrett stood at the head of theong table in his dining hall. On it, a map of the Dark Moon pack territories stretched out before him. But his eyes were not on the map. They were with one of the members of the council, Elder Mark, who stood at the doorway, shifting nervously."Mark?" Garrett called in a questioning manner."Yes, my lord," he nervously replied."Why are you here? What are you doing standing by the door, shaking and shivering like a little bird beaten by a heavy rain?" He said, stretching to his full length, away from the table, away from the map on it."I came here because you requested an update, Beta Garrett," Mark began, bowing slightly. "Like you just said, I requested a report not a guard who watches me like a creep." Garrett lightly chuckled."I am sorry to disturb your peace and quiet, my lord," Elder Mark quickly apologized."Can you please just tell me why you are here? I do not have all the time in the world to waste on you," Garrett scolded him." There is

    Eventually, Tiara managed to secure a house in the unwelcoming pack she had wandered into.It was barely more than a shed—a forgotten cottage that was nestled behind the pack’s old arena, almost worn by time and molds. The windows in it were so rusty and would barely shut as they threatened to come
