They Came For My Child
publish date:
2026-07-21 04:34:51The words struck me harder than the cold night air.
“Kill the Luna.”
For one frozen heartbeat, I couldn’t move.
Four cloaked figures stood between the ancient pines, their faces hidden beneath black hoods. Moonlight glinted off the silver blades in their hands, each weapon etched with runes meant to weaken werewolves.
They hadn’t come to rob me.
They hadn’t come to frighten me.
They had come to make sure I never left this forest alive.
My fingers instinctively covered my stomach.
No.
Not me.
My baby.
They were here for my baby.
One of the men stepped forward, his boots crushing the fallen leaves beneath him.
“The Alpha was foolish enough to let her leave alone,” he sneered. “Made our job easy.”
Another chuckled.
“I expected the former Luna to have guards.”
“The proud ones always think they can survive without help.”
I forced myself to breathe.
Panic would get us both killed.
There was only one narrow path behind me, winding deeper into the forest. If I could reach the river, the rushing water might hide my scent long enough for me to escape.
I shifted my weight slowly.
The tallest assassin noticed.
“She’s thinking about running.”
His grin widened beneath the shadow of his hood.
“Break her legs first.”
The words snapped something inside me.
I turned and ran.
Branches whipped across my face as I sprinted through the darkness, dragging the small suitcase behind me for only a few desperate steps before throwing it aside. Clothes scattered across the forest floor, but I didn’t look back.
Nothing mattered except the tiny heartbeat I carried inside me.
Behind me, boots pounded against the earth.
“After her!”
“Don’t let her reach the river!”
Their voices grew closer.
Too close.
My lungs burned as I pushed myself faster than I ever had before. Twisted roots reached across the path like traps, and low branches clawed at my hair and dress.
A sharp sting sliced across my shoulder.
An arrow.
I stumbled, biting back a cry as warm blood soaked through the fabric.
They weren’t trying to capture me.
They were trying to slow me down.
I glanced over my shoulder.
The nearest assassin was only a few strides away.
His silver blade flashed beneath the Blood Moon.
“There’s nowhere left to run, Luna.”
I refused to believe him.
Even if I had to crawl, I would protect my child.
The forest suddenly opened into a rocky clearing, and my heart sank.
The river was farther away than I remembered.
I had run the wrong direction.
Slowly, the four assassins spread out, surrounding me once again.
The leader twirled his blade lazily.
“You’ve made this more difficult than necessary.”
I backed away until my heels touched the edge of a steep cliff hidden by the darkness.
One more step…
…and there would be nothing beneath me.
The leader lifted his sword.
“Any last words?”
I raised my chin despite the terror threatening to consume me.
“My child will live.”
He laughed.
“Not tonight.”
He lunged.
At that exact moment—
A deafening wolf’s howl shattered the night.
It wasn’t the howl of an ordinary wolf.
It was deeper.
Older.
Powerful enough to make the ground tremble beneath my feet.
Every assassin froze.
The leader’s confident smile vanished.
“No…”
His voice shook.
“Impossible.”
From somewhere beyond the trees, glowing silver eyes appeared in the darkness.
Then another pair.
And another.
Within seconds, dozens of silver-eyed wolves emerged from the shadows, moving with terrifying precision.
Their leader stepped forward.
Unlike the others, he didn’t shift completely into wolf form.
A tall man with long silver hair and eyes that gleamed like molten moonlight stood before the assassins.
His voice was calm.
Cold.
Deadly.
“You drew your weapons…”
He looked past them and met my frightened gaze.
“…against someone under the protection of the Lycan Crown.”
The assassins’ faces drained of color.
One dropped his sword.
The leader took a slow step backward.
“The… the Royal Guard…”
The silver-haired warrior smiled.
It wasn’t a kind smile.
It was the smile of a man who had already decided no one standing before him would leave this forest alive.
To be continued…

The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing The Birth
I was still gripping the edge of the bed when the physician confirmed what I'd already begun to understand on my own. The room shifted almost instantly after that. Attendants moved with sudden purpose. The physician gave quiet instructions I only half followed. Beyond the door, I heard movement as the guards secured the corridor outside.Months of preparation hadn't prepared me for how different this felt now that it was actually happening. I took a slow breath and reminded myself that I wasn't facing any of it alone anymore.Lucien took charge of security the moment word reached him. He ordered trusted guards to every entrance, cleared unnecessary staff from the royal wing entirely, kept the noble representatives confined to their designated areas, and made certain any information about my condition passed only through our inner circle. He wasn't willing to let the court learn details that could compromise my safety at the exact moment I was most vulnerable. Rowan checked the corrido
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing Before The Birth
I woke earlier than usual, and knew immediately that my body felt different from the morning before. The pregnancy had grown heavier in these final weeks, and even ordinary movements now required a kind of effort I'd never had to think about before.The physician checked me and confirmed both twins remained healthy, though he reminded me plainly that I was now extremely close to giving birth and needed to avoid unnecessary strain. I listened without panicking. My thoughts sat somewhere different than they had when I'd first discovered I was pregnant, back before anyone in Silverfang knew these children existed at all. For months I had carried that secret entirely alone. Now everyone around me knew, and that shift made these final days feel strangely unreal.I thought about how much had changed since I'd left Blackwood. I'd left believing I would have to protect my children entirely by myself, with no one standing beside me. Now I had Lucien, Rowan, the physician, and even Kael nearby.
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing The Prophecy Meaning
I was still standing in the nursery when Rowan told me the newly discovered location lay outside the palace entirely. It was connected to the old royal bloodline, though he couldn't tell me exactly what it was yet. I asked why the enemy would mark a location like that if their main objective was the twins.He admitted plainly that he didn't know.Lucien joined us shortly after and recognized the marking immediately from older royal maps he'd studied years earlier. The site had once been connected to the royal family, he explained, though it had sat unused for generations. That raised a question none of us had a ready answer for. If the enemy was truly focused on the twins, why did they care about an abandoned royal site at all?The High Priestess spent the following hours examining the map alongside everything else we'd already gathered, the royal seal, the two-heir inscription, my pendant, the ancient enemy symbol, and the Valerius records. Several references, she found, pointed towa
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing The Choice
I woke the morning after the attack knowing someone had come dangerously close to the maternity wing the night before. The palace was functioning again by the time I rose, but the atmosphere had shifted. Guards stood more visibly at every turn. Servants moved through the corridors with less of their usual ease. Several passages had been quietly restricted.I understood why everyone treated me differently now that word of how close the intruder had come had spread through the household. I didn't want fear to become the center of whatever months I had left before the twins arrived. My first thought that morning wasn't for myself. It was for them, still growing, still entirely unaware of the storm building around them. I decided, lying there, that I would not spend the rest of this pregnancy hiding in a room simply because other people were frightened on my behalf.The physician confirmed both babies remained healthy despite the previous night's disturbance, though he reminded me firmly
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing The Night Attack
I was in my chambers after another exhausting day, trying to rest rather than push through more work the way I once would have. The pregnancy had grown harder these past weeks, and I’d learned, slowly, to let my body dictate the pace instead of fighting it.I thought briefly about what Rowan had found the day before. Someone had been studying the palace. Someone had been gathering details about the maternity wing specifically. Someone might already know where the twins would be born. I refused to let the thought consume me. I’d already decided months ago that I wouldn’t spend the rest of this pregnancy hiding from a fear I couldn’t fully name.I settled into bed believing the palace’s security had grown stronger than it had ever been. Somewhere else within those same walls, though, something had already changed.Rowan was making his final rounds when he noticed it. One section of the palace that should have sat quiet had experienced a brief interruption in its usual pattern. Nothing h
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing The Hidden Enemy
I noticed the change in the palace the morning after the council dispute. People spoke more carefully around me. Servants who had once greeted me casually now seemed to weigh every word before saying it. Nobles who used to approach without hesitation now measured their interactions as though they were negotiating rather than simply speaking to me. I understood, without needing anyone to explain it, that the council's division had already begun rippling through every corner of the palace.What caught my attention more than any of that, though, was Rowan. He'd been reviewing security records late into the night for days, and when I asked what he'd found, he gave me an answer he almost never gave when something touched my safety.He said he was still investigating.That alone told me more than any specific detail could have.Rowan had gone back to the records from the attempted intrusion near the maternity wing, comparing every access authorization, guard rotation, servant assignment, me
