Chapter 6

Author: Crystal K
Della's POV

"Silver Moon's little princess. You came."

Jaden stepped out from the Black Moon command tent, a dozen elite warriors behind him.

The moonlight sharpened the angles of his face.

He was the one I’d called three days ago. Alpha Jaden of the Black Moon.

Funny. For over a decade, I’d thought his pack killed my parents.

I’d hated him, sworn he was my sworn enemy.

Now that lie was shattered.

He was no longer my enemy. He was my ally.

I swung myself off my horse. Heavy footsteps followed.

Thirty massive Dire Wolves emerged from the forest, each the size of a grown bear.

Their eyes glowed blood-red in the dark.

Their presence alone filled the air with the scent of death.

Behind them followed their handlers, the elite warriors, each a match for an Alpha.

"By the Goddess," a Black Moon warrior breathed, his voice raw with awe.

"Those are the legendary Dire Wolves?"

Awe and excitement flashed in Jaden's eyes.

"They're even more terrifying than the stories." He walked toward me. "No

    Della's POVNolan collapsed in a pool of his own blood, his life fading fast.He looked at Skylar, his eyes full of shattered love and despair."Why?" he trembled. "Everything between us…""Was fake." Skylar walked over to him, looking down at him. "Your kisses, your promises, your cheap 'love'… it was all just a disgusting mission to me."She crouched down and lifted his chin with her finger."Did you really think you were so charming? A man who betrays his true love, a failure who doesn't even understand the source of his own power?"Tears of blood streamed from Nolan’s eyes."I… I loved you…""Love me?" Skylar laughed. "Then why were you just begging that woman to come back?"She stood up abruptly and kicked him in the face."You never loved me. You loved the power you thought you could control."With that, she walked gracefully to Jaden and knelt respectfully on one knee."My Alpha," she reported, her voice clear and steady. "The target has been eliminated. The Silver Moon heir is

  • The Heart of the Pack Is Mine   Chapter 8

    Della's POVThe battlefield was thick with smoke and the stench of blood.I sat astride my massive Dire Wolf on the ridge, looking down at the slaughter below.The Silver Moon Pack's lines were collapsing.Without the support of the Dire Wolf legion, they were like beasts with their claws and fangs torn out, helpless."Look," Jaden murmured, a smirk in his voice. "Your ex is putting on a brave little show down there."I followed his finger.Nolan and Skylar were fighting side-by-side, their movements perfectly in sync.She would occasionally lean in and whisper something to him, and he would answer with a gentle smile."How touching," I sneered. "Their bond is truly unbreakable.""Jealous?" Jaden teased."Jealous?" I scoffed. "I'm just enjoying the show."I raised my hand, signaling the Dire Wolf legion behind me."Time to show them what real power looks like."Thirty massive beasts leaped from the ridge, each the size of a small hill.Their roars shook the battlefield, freezing every

    Nolan's POVAnother defensive line had fallen.Nolan stood in the war room, staring at the map on the wall.The blue markers representing the Silver Moon Pack were disappearing one by one, replaced by the Black Moon's sigil."Damn it!" He slammed his fist on the table. "Why won't the Dire Wolves listen?"The Heart of the Pack in his hand still glowed, but it did nothing."Nolan, stop torturing yourself." Skylar came up behind him, reaching out to touch his shoulder.Nolan violently shrugged her off."Don't touch me!"Her beautiful face was suddenly repulsive. Every calculated seduction, every fake gasp of concern—it all curdled in his stomach."What's wrong?" She feigned being hurt. "I was just trying to comfort you…""I don't need your comfort!" Nolan turned his back on her. "I need Della!"Skylar's expression soured."You're still thinking about her? She betrayed you! She betrayed the entire pack!""Shut up!She is much more useful than you!"Just then, Magnus strode into the war room

    Two days later. The mating ceremony.Nolan didn’t send his guards to drag me from the Forbidden Land until morning.He wouldn’t even let me wash. They just threw a few buckets of water over my head, a crude rinse to get the filth off.Then they tossed it at my feet—the Luna ceremonial gown I used to dream of wearing.I was an offering for the gods. A sacrifice. They dragged me to the altar, my eyes completely dead.Nolan stood across from me, his eyes holding no love, only a greedy hunger for power.Skylar sat in the front row of the guest section, watching me with the triumphant, provocative smirk of a woman who had already won.Magnus’s solemn voice rang out.“The blood resonance will now begin!”Guards presented an ancient stone box.Inside, resting quietly, was a faintly pulsing, dark-red crystal—the Heart of the Pack.Two guards held my arms, pinning me in place.An elder drew a silver knife across my wrist.Blood dripped.The crystal erupted in a blinding red light.I felt a vi

  • The Heart of the Pack Is Mine   Chapter 4

    Just as the red-hot iron was about to touch my shoulder, a figure flashed between me and Nolan.It was Skylar.“Nolan, my love, don’t be rash.” Her voice was deceptively soft, dripping with false concern. “She is the future Luna, after all. Branding her would tarnish the Silvermoon name.”Her words made Nolan freeze for a heartbeat.Skylar took her chance, leaning into his chest. She stood on her toes, pressing her lips close to his ear.The movement was subtle, but my wolf-sharp eyes missed nothing.I saw her mouth the words clearly. Heart of the Pack.In the next second, the madness in Nolan’s eyes vanished. He lowered the brand.But my heart turned to ice.He didn’t stop because of my title. He didn’t stop for our past. He stopped for the power he craved—the power he needed me to sacrifice. It was a truth I already knew, but it shattered my heart all over again.Still, I let out a breath of relief.Just when I thought it was over, I realized he wasn’t done with me.“You’re right
