last update publish date: 2026-05-02 14:40:25

Jasmina woke at three in the morning, gasping. Pain exploded through her chest. Her ribs. Her face.

Not her pain. His pain.

Through the mate bond, she felt everything Damoew was experiencing. The beating. The shame. The despair.

"No," she whispered.

The bond pulsed with agony. Raw. Overwhelming.

She tried to breathe through it. Tried to separate her pain from his. But the bond was too strong. Too demanding.

    Alpha Marcus Greythorn arrived with fifty wolves. All warriors. All armed. All arranged in formation outside the packhouse gates."That's a declaration of war," Jetstar said, watching from the window. "He brought enough fighters to take the packhouse by force."Jasmina's heart pounded. "Are we under attack?""Not yet. But he's making a point. Showing you what happens if he decides you're unfit.""Get our warriors ready. Quietly. I don't want to escalate unless he forces it."Jetstar left quickly.Jasmina stood at the window. Watching fifty Mountain Ridge wolves standing in perfect military formation.Waiting.The baby kicked frantically. Sensing danger. Magic pulsed under her skin."Not now," she whispered.

  • The Luna With Ruin   Chapter 43: Northern Frost Delegation

    The Northern Frost delegation arrived the next morning.No announcement. No courtesy warning. Just three wolves at the packhouse gates demanding entry."That's Alpha Erik himself," Jetstar said, watching from the window. "He didn't send delegates. He came personally.""Is that good or bad?""Depends on why he came. Either he's taking you seriously enough to address concerns himself, or he's here to personally ensure you step down."Jasmina stood. Her body ached from yesterday's meeting with Eastern Vale. The baby had been restless all night, keeping her awake with constant kicking."Where's Lyanna?""Training yard. I'll send for her.""No. Let her stay there. I'll handle this one alone." Jasmina straightened her clothes. "If I need help at every meeting, it proves I'm weak.""Or it proves you're smart enough to use available resources.""Either way, I handle this one solo."The recepti

    Three days after Theo's visit, he returned to the Sisters' Haven alone.Erik and Sasha stayed at the camp they'd made. Waiting. Ready to move if needed.But Theo went alone. As instructed.The same two guards met him at the perimeter."You came back," the taller one said."I said I would.""Most don't. Most decide it's not worth the effort when women say no the first time.""Elara's my sister. She's always worth the effort."The guard studied him. Then nodded. "Follow me."They walked through the settlement. More women were out today. Training. Working. Living their lives.They stared at Theo as he passed. Not hostile exactly. Just wary. Protective of their space.The guard brought him to the central tent again."Inside."Theo entered.The same five leaders sat in their semi-circle. But this time, Elara sat in the center position.The leader position

The beating. The shame. The despair. "No," she whispered. The bond pulsed with agony. Raw. Overwhelming. She tried to breathe through it. Tried to separate her pain from his. But the bond was too strong. Too demanding. He was hurt. Badly. And every instinct she had screamed to go to him. Protect him. Heal him. Make it stop. Her hand went to her stomach. The baby was kicking frantically. Agitated by the emotional turbulence flowing through her. "It's okay," she murmured. "Daddy's okay. He has to be." But he wasn't okay. She could feel that through the bond. Jasmina stood. Paced her chambers. The urge to run to him was almost unbearab

    Five weeks into exile, Damoew thought he was making progress. Oliver spoke to him regularly now. Sometimes even ate meals sitting next to him instead of three feet away. Two other outcasts had started accepting his help with daily tasks. Nothing major. Just small acknowledgments that he existed. It wasn't forgiveness. But it was something. Then Marcus destroyed it all. It happened during the evening meal. The entire camp gathered around the fire. Sharing food and stories. Damoew sat on the outer edge as usual. Oliver beside him. They were talking about hunting strategies. Marcus appeared out of nowhere. "You," he said, pointing at Damoew. "Stand up." Damoew stood. "Marcus, I…" The punch caught him across the jaw. Stars exploded in his vision. "You exiled my daughter," Marcus said. His voice was cold. Controlled. "For def
