Chapter 10

مؤلف: summer
Adrian waited outside the Moonwitch Tower for five days.

The northern wards forbade a foreign Alpha from entering without permission, so he suppressed his dominance and stood in silence at the bottom of the stone steps.

The silver burn on his foreleg had not healed properly after he shifted back. Every time the wind split the wound open, fresh blood froze against his sleeve.

Julian asked whether I wanted the Tower guards to remove him.

I shook my head.

“If he does not interfere with the Tower, i

  • The Love I Forgot   Chapter 12

    I did not join another pack after returning south.Julian and I built an independent healing house outside White Birch Valley. We treated lower-ranked wolves turned away by their packs, pups whose inner wolves had failed to awaken, and rogues with nowhere else to go.At first, some questioned whether an Omega had the right to practice healing without an Alpha’s authority.Julian never answered the insult for me. He simply laid out the records of every wolf I had saved.“Her rank does not determine whether she is qualified,” he said. “The lives she has saved do.”More patients crossed pack borders to find us. Even the Silvermoon Elders who had once declared me unfit to be Luna were eventually forced to send an envoy for the moonbreath flowers I had cultivated.I sold them the medicine at its ordinary price.Not because I had forgiven them, but because a healer did not punish a dying patient for the prejudice of an Elder.From time to time, news of Adrian reached White Birch Valley.He n

    Later, my parents and the traveling healers told me what happened in Silvermoon after Adrian returned.His first act was to order a new examination of Serena’s inner wolf.She produced her stamped diagnosis from the Frostlands Pack and wept that he no longer trusted her. Adrian ignored the tears and took her to the Moon Goddess’s altar, where the sacred well revealed the true condition of any wolf reflected in its waters.Serena’s white wolf appeared weak, but there were no fractures in her spirit. No sign of wasting.The priest searched her belongings and found three packets of fadingroot.Serena had spent years studying the inner wolf in the Frostlands. She knew exactly how to suppress her own wolf and falsify the readings of a healing crystal.Serena had never suffered from Wolf-Soul Wasting.It had all been a lie.“I did it because I love you,” she pleaded. “I knew you loved Evelyn. Pretending to be ill was the only way to make you choose me.”She crawled closer on her knees.“Evel

Every time the wind split the wound open, fresh blood froze against his sleeve.Julian asked whether I wanted the Tower guards to remove him.I shook my head.“If he does not interfere with the Tower, ignore him.”My parents arrived on the fifth day.The moment my mother saw me alive and well, she pulled me into her arms with tears in her eyes. My father questioned Julian until he was satisfied that the curse would never touch another memory. Only then did the rigid line of his shoulders ease.Adrian entered the receiving room behind them and remained in the farthest corner.My father glanced at him with open disgust.“He begged us at the Tower door to allow one last meeting. If you don’t want

    The man stopped in front of me with snow melting across his shoulders.His black cloak had been torn open by branches. Blood seeped through the rough bandage around his left hand. He looked less like the ruler of a powerful pack than a rogue who had been wandering the northern wilderness for weeks.“I found you,” he breathed.He reached for me.My body moved before I could think. I stepped back.His arms froze in the empty space between us. The joy on his face slowly gave way to panic.“Evelyn, it’s me. Adrian.”The name matched the one in my journal.I gave him a polite nod.“The Alpha of Silvermoon?”The question seemed to strike him harder than any weapon. His eyes reddened.“I’m more than your Alpha. I’m your mate. We shared a home for six years.”“We never completed a marking ceremony.”“Our wolves chose each other long before any ceremony.”He took one desperate step forward, then caught himself as though afraid of frightening me away.“I did not mark Serena. I stopped before the

  • The Love I Forgot   Chapter 8

    The Northern Moonwitch Tower stood in a country of endless snow.On my first night there, the curse completed its work.The black marks faded from my heart as my inner wolf curled deep inside me. She was too weak even to open her eyes.The healer who received me was Julian Hart, the Tower’s chief healer and a Beta.He placed a warm cup of wolfroot tea in my hands and asked careful questions about every gap in my memory.“Your parents?”“I remember them.”“Silvermoon?”“I remember the pack.”“Adrian Blackwood?”I looked at the name repeated throughout my journal and shook my head.“I know he is Silvermoon’s Alpha. I cannot remember his face or anything that happened between us.”Julian held moonlight over my pupils. Only after he was certain the curse had stopped spreading did the tension leave his shoulders.“The Love-Devouring Curse has run its course. It will not take anything else from you. But your wolf had already recognized his as her chosen mate. The emotional connection was rea

  • The Love I Forgot   Chapter 7

    The guards could not stop Adrian when he charged into the Forbidden Forest with Evelyn’s journal pressed beneath his cloak.He followed the lingering scent of her healing herbs to a clearing scorched by black fire.Ash from the dead witch still clung to the earth. Ancient symbols for the Love-Devouring Curse had been carved into the trees.The pack priest arrived, took one look at them, and lost all color in his face.“This curse draws its power from the witch’s willing sacrifice of her own soul. It cannot be broken.”Adrian seized the front of his robes.“Evelyn is the greatest healer Silvermoon has ever had. She has saved hundreds of wolves. You expect me to believe she cannot save herself?”“Healing magic repairs the body and the inner wolf. Witchcraft obeys the laws of sacrifice.” The priest’s voice remained quiet. “The spell feeds on her memories of the one bound to her heart as a lover. No healer can treat a bargain already paid for with a soul.”“What if I stand in front of her?
