This was not the first infiltration attempt.

Far from it.

Every group sent before them had failed.

Some warriors died before they even reached the fortress walls. Others were captured alive and dragged inside screaming.

None ever returned.

And everyone knew what likely happened to them afterward.

Blood banks.

Living prisoners chained somewhere beneath the fortress so vampires could feed on them whenever they pleased.

The thought alone filled the tent with quiet rage.

The war had dragged on for

    “The princess was seriously injured. And at present, she isn’t in any condition to travel.” He lowered his gaze briefly before continuing. “And I don’t believe she wishes to leave just yet.” The Royal Convoy’s expression changed at once. So the rumors were true. The princess really had been hurt. His face hardened. “And the person responsible?” Carlisle’s jaw clenched. “Punished.” That was all Carlisle said. The single word sounded cold enough to freeze the room. Inside, however, Carlisle was forcing down emotions that threatened to break free. Every time someone spoke as though Victoria had harmed another person, his blood boiled. Yet punishment had been carried out. That much was true. It was the only answer he could give without lying. The convoy nodded slowly. His thoughts grew increasingly complicated. The princess had suffered severe injuries. She refused to return home. She wouldn’t even agree to meet him. Without seeing her with his

    “Damn right it is!” Roque snarled without a trace of hesitation. “So don’t stand there pretending you don’t know who’s responsible.” Carlisle closed his eyes for a moment. There was nothing he could say, really. Roque wasn’t wrong. Every word the wolf had spoken was the truth. Before the silence between them became unbearable, the Royal Convoy finally spoke. “Alpha Carlisle truly lives up to his reputation,” he said with a courteous smile. “The hero who led the northern campaign to victory. The Alpha whose resolve never falters. Northern Alpha Damon spoke very highly of you, so I’ve been looking forward to meeting you in person.” His smile never faded, but the edge beneath his words was impossible to miss. “Now I understand why your name carries so much weight.” On the surface, it sounded like praise. In reality, it was anything but. There was just enough sarcasm beneath his polite tone to reveal that Carlisle’s cold reception had bruised his pride. Still, the c

    “Good day, your Majesty.”The leader of the royal convoy said as he bowed deeply.He sat inside the guest quarters provided by the Red Moon Pack, but the solemn look on his face immediately told the Alpha King that the report would bring little comfort.“I’ve just finished speaking with Alpha Carlisle,” he said. “I believed it was best to report to you immediately while everything remains fresh.”When he first arrived at the Red Moon Pack earlier that day, he had expected to be escorted directly to Alpha Carlisle.Instead, the guards hesitated.Their uneasiness caught his attention almost immediately.Officially, his mission was simple.Escort the royal princess back to the Royal Palace.Unofficially…He had been ordered to discover exactly what had happened.Rather than forcing the issue, he waited patiently.While he waited, he listened.Pack members whispered among themselves, never realizing he could hear every word.The rumors spread quickly.According to them, the woman Alpha Ca

    Hue’s silence stretched on, and the Alpha King felt his patience beginning to fray.For a moment, he almost demanded an answer. The urge rose quickly, but just as quickly, reason forced it back down.Whatever illness Alpha Maxwell carried wasn’t the most urgent problem before him.More importantly, this wasn’t the right time to push. Maxwell and Hue were still the only people who understood Victoria’s condition better than anyone else in the palace. If he forced the issue now, he risked losing their trust, and that was a price he couldn’t afford to pay.Hue noticed the subtle change in the Alpha King’s expression. When the King’s attention finally shifted away from him and toward Maxwell, instructing the Royal Healer and the Royal Doctor to examine the Alpha instead, Hue quietly let out the breath he had been holding.For now, at least, he had escaped.“Your Majesty, there’s no need to worry,” Hue said, his tone calm and respectful. “Alpha Maxwell has gone through this before. He only

    Sweat instantly covered Maxwell’s forehead, soaking through his clothes within moments. His breathing became ragged, each breath shorter than the last. It felt as though an invisible hand had wrapped itself around his heart and was squeezing tighter with every passing second.He struggled desperately to draw in air.The pain only continued to grow.At that exact moment, the Alpha King stepped into the room.He had come intending to question Maxwell again about the curse. There were still too many things he wanted to know, especially if there was even the slightest chance of saving Victoria.Instead, he found Maxwell collapsed on the floor.The Alpha’s face had turned deathly pale.His entire body trembled violently as though he were fighting to stay conscious.For one terrifying instant, it looked as if death itself had already reached him.“Quickly!” the Alpha King shouted. “Take Alpha Maxwell to the medical ward!”His voice echoed through the palace.The guards reacted without hesit

    Both men had reached the same frustrating conclusion.The investigation had gone as far as it could, yet the truth remained just out of reach. If they failed to uncover what had really happened soon, then someone would have to carry the blame.There were only two names left.Marcus.Victoria.Between the two of them, Victoria would suffer the most.Marcus’s actions were easy enough for people to justify. Many would simply say he had acted out of loyalty to the royal princess and her unborn pup. Even if he had crossed the line, others would likely excuse him by claiming his desire to protect Raquel had clouded his judgment.Victoria would receive no such understanding.Everything had already begun turning against her. Rumors spread faster than facts, and every piece of circumstantial evidence pointed in her direction. Without proof to defend herself, she had no way to fight back. As time passed, people would stop treating the accusations as rumors and begin accepting them as the truth.

  • The Jilted Luna    Chapter 46 : What happened to her hair?

    Alpha King’s POVI furrowed my brows. Too many things weren’t adding up and others were starting to notice as well.It was clear that the situation was far more complicated than it appeared, and we needed to proceed with extreme caution. At the same time, we had to keep the incident strictly confid

    The situation weighed heavily on Carlisle, pressing down on him in ways he could not fully name. While all of his attention remained locked on Raquel and her condition, something else was unfolding across the pack without his knowledge. Word of what had supposedly happened spread quickly through t

  • The Jilted Luna    Chapter 22: Maybe...

    Victoria's POV Maybe… maybe he only gave in to his desire because he could not act that way with Raquel right now, not while she was carrying his child, I thought. And just like that, it felt as if a bucket of ice had been poured over me. The cold sank deep into my bones, tearing me out of the

  • The Jilted Luna    Chapter 15: Look at me

    Victoria’s POVI felt like I was losing my mind in the middle of Carlisle’s constant shifts between warmth and cold distance. One moment he was distant and unreadable, and the next he was right here, overwhelming me completely. My heart struggled to keep up with him, with the way he pulled me in on
