Maya’s POV

The gates of the Silver Peak Pack were usually a symbol of safety, but tonight they felt like a cage. As I ran toward them, the cold air bit at my skin. I could see the glow of vampire torches in the distance, casting long, dancing shadows on the snow.

There stood Prince Victor. He looked perfect and calm, his white hair shining under the moon. Beside him, two vampire guards held Sela by her arms. She wasn't crying, but her face was pale, and her eyes were wide with fear.

"Maya! Don't come any closer!" Sela screamed.

"Quiet, little wolf," Victor said, his voice smooth and cold. He looked at me and smiled, his fangs peeking over his lip. "Ah, the Runt. Or should I say... the Princess?"

"Let her go, Victor!" I shouted. I felt a heat in my chest I had never felt before. My vampire side was waking up, angry that he was touching my sister. "Your fight is with me, not her."

Kael was right behind me. He wasn't in his wolf form, but his eyes were glowing gold, and his muscles were bulging. He looked like he was ready to tear the world apart.

"Valerius," Kael growled. "Release the healer. Now. Or I will ignore every treaty ever written and paint these mountains with your blood."

Victor laughed. It was a light, musical sound that made my skin crawl. "Such drama. I don't want the girl. She smells like wet fur and herbs. I was simply bored waiting for my bride to show herself."

Victor waved a hand, and the guards shoved Sela forward. She stumbled, and I caught her, pulling her behind me. She was shaking, but she was alive. She wasn't hurt.

"There," Victor said, wiping his hands as if he had touched something dirty. "She is safe. For now. But remember, Maya... the Blood Moon doesn't care about your feelings. It only cares about what you are. And what you are... belongs to the Kingdom."

Victor turned around, his red silk cape swirling in the wind. "Enjoy your little dog, Maya. While he still has a mind to love you."

In a flash of black smoke, the vampires were gone. The forest was silent again, except for the heavy breathing of the wolves behind us.

The rest of the night was a blur. The pack was in an uproar, but Kael silenced them with a single roar. He ordered Sela to the omega quarters to rest and dragged me back to his obsidian study.

I spent the next hour cleaning the mess from his earlier fit. I picked up the broken glass and straightened the books. I didn't say a word. I could feel Kael watching me from his chair. He was too quiet. The madness was gone, but the hunger was back.

"I'm finished, Alpha," I whispered, keeping my head down. I gripped the tray in my hands. "I should go back to the omega quarters. Sela needs me."

I turned to walk toward the door, but before I could take two steps, Kael was there. He moved with the speed of a predator.

He grabbed the tray from my hands and tossed it onto the sofa. Then, he grabbed my waist and pulled me flush against his hard chest.

"You aren't going anywhere," he rasped. His voice was thick and heavy.

"Kael, please... I’m tired," I said, but my body was betraying me. The cold in my veins was turning into a wildfire where his skin touched mine.

"I can still smell him on you," Kael whispered, his face dipping into the crook of my neck. "The Prince. He touched your hair. He looked at your skin. It’s making the beast inside me want to scream."

"He didn't do anything," I breathed.

Kael ignored me. He tilted my head back, his gold eyes boring into mine. "I told you, Maya. You are my quiet place. But right now... I don't want quiet."

He crashed his lips onto mine.

It wasn't a gentle kiss. It was hot, desperate, and full of a deep, aching need. He tasted like the tea and the wild forest. I moaned into his mouth, my fingers tangling in his dark hair. I knew I should pull away. I knew what my mother had said… that he only loved the drug.

But as he pressed me harder against the wall, I felt him. He was fully erected against my thigh, his body hard and demanding.

He pulled back just an inch, his breath ghosting over my lips. His gold eyes were dark with a different kind of fever… one that had nothing to do with a curse.

"Tell me to stop, Maya," he growled, his hand sliding up my thigh under my skirt. "Tell me to stop, or I’m going to make you moan hard right here."

I looked at him, and for the first time, I didn't see an Alpha or a monster. I saw a man who was drowning. And I didn't know if I wanted to save him... or sink with him.

  • The Luna’s Forbbidden Blood    CHAPTER 100 - A Resonance of Glitch

    Maya’s POVThe view from the throne of the world was a blinding, infinite static. I was no longer a woman of flesh and bone; I was the heartbeat of the valley, a living circuit of violet energy holding back the encroaching gray of the deletion zone. Every breath taken by a survivor in the canyons below rippled through me like a physical touch, a constant reminder of the life I had sacrificed my own humanity to preserve.But the silence in the code was broken by a sound that shouldn't exist. A heavy, rhythmic thud echoed from the edge of my consciousness.The Administrator had arrived.It was a towering, faceless titan of obsidian and silver, moving through the fog with a cold, mechanical grace that ignored the laws of physics I had just finished rewriting. It carried a staff of white light that flickered with every step, and as it approached the mountain ridge, the emerald grass withered into ash in its wake.“This is my creation”, a voice whispered through the system, sounding like a

  • The Luna’s Forbbidden Blood    CHAPTER 99 -The Administrator

    Maya’s POVThe warmth of Kael’s hand was the only thing keeping me anchored to the real world. Below us, the valley breathed with a messy, unscripted life that no simulation could ever truly replicate. But the weight of the porcelain shard in my pocket felt like a leaden anchor, dragging my mind back into the depths of the code I thought we had escaped.I didn't tell him. Not yet. I couldn't bear to watch the violet light in his eyes dim again, replaced by the mechanical terror of the silver virus. He had fallen first, he had bled for me, and he deserved a sunset that didn't end in a system reboot."You're quiet," Kael whispered, his thumb tracing a slow, grounding circle on the back of my hand. The forced proximity of our standing embrace was no longer a survival tactic; it was a choice. "The air is real, Maya. The wind doesn't loop every sixty seconds. We're home.""I know," I said, forcing a smile that didn't reach my eyes. "It’s just... It’s a lot of quiet to get used to."We bega

  • The Luna’s Forbbidden Blood    CHAPTER 98 - The Echo of The Glass Heart

    Maya’s POVThe white room did not feel like a sanctuary. It felt like a blank page waiting to be burned.I looked down at the brass key. It was no longer solid; it was a pool of molten gold dripping through my fingers, searing my skin with a heat that felt more real than anything I had experienced since the reboot. Across from me, the woman with the white hair stood perfectly still. The child in her arms blinked slowly, its amber eyes tracking the movement of the melting metal."Ready to try again?" the woman repeated, her voice as smooth as polished marble."I am not your sister," I said, my voice thick with the salt and the cold of the violet ocean. "And I am not the Architect. I am the woman who watched Kael bleed for a world that didn't even exist yet."I looked at Kael. He was still lying at my feet, a sculpture of silver leaves and fading memories. The forced proximity of this room was different from the caves or the mountain. There was no escape here, no terrain to navigate, on

  • The Luna’s Forbbidden Blood    CHAPTER 97 -The Salt and the Signal

    Maya’s POVThe green paradise was a lie. The deeper Silas and I trekked toward the coast, the more the lush forests began to fray at the edges. The vibrant leaves didn't wilt; they flickered. Sometimes a tree would momentarily lose its color, turning into a wireframe of white light before snapping back into reality. The reboot was holding, but it was shallow.I clutched the brass key in my pocket until the edges bit into my palm. Recovery. It was a promise and a weight. Kael was the heartbeat of this world, but he was trapped in a room of memories, and I was walking through a landscape that felt like a wet painting left out in the rain."We're crossing the salt line," Silas said, his voice low. He had ditched his heavy gear and was now wearing a simple linen tunic that made him look less like a shadow dweller and more like a ghost. "The Architect never mapped the ocean. She was afraid of the deep water. Too much chaos. Too many variables.""If she didn't map it, then who did?" I asked

  • The Luna’s Forbbidden Blood    CHAPTER 96 - The Echo in the Bone

    Maya’s POVThe silence of the new world was louder than any explosion.I stood on the ridge, my fingers still curled into a fist where Kael’s wrist had been only seconds before. The air was sweet, smelling of blooming jasmine and damp clover, a sharp contrast to the metallic tang that had defined my life. The Architect’s silver sky had been replaced by a deep, bruising blue, and the valley below was a carpet of vibrant, emerald life.It was the paradise we had fought for. It was the reboot the white-haired woman had promised. And it was a tomb."Kael?" I whispered.My voice didn't echo. It was swallowed by the lush, heavy atmosphere. I turned in a slow circle, my eyes searching the grass, the rocks, the distant tree line. There was no shimmering static, no fading violet light. There was only the sun, indifferent and warm on my face."He is not in the system, sister."I spun around. The clockwork child was sitting on a jagged piece of obsidian that hadn't yet been overwritten. It looke

  • The Luna’s Forbbidden Blood    CHAPTER 95 -The Heart of the Glitch

    Maya’s POVThe fall was not a drop through air, but a slide through static.Kael’s hand was the only solid thing in a universe of blinding white. His grip was bruising, his fingers locked around my wrist as we tumbled through the layers of the Architect’s deep code. Every time the white void threatened to dissolve my senses, the heat from his skin pulled me back. He had fallen first into this madness to save me, and now, in this forced proximity between life and deletion, the fated bond was the only compass we had left."Don't let go!" Kael’s voice echoed, sounding like it was coming from underwater."I'm not going anywhere!" I shouted back, though my words felt like they were being snatched away by the digital wind.Suddenly, the white light shattered.We hit a hard, obsidian surface with a force that knocked the breath from my lungs. I rolled, my hands scraping against a floor that felt like frozen glass. The air here was different. It didn't smell like the sterile ozone of the mou

    Maya’s POVThe air in the study turned thick, vibrating with the collective howl of the Silver Peak Pack. It was the sound of a thousand wolves losing their minds to the violet light of the Blood Moon. But inside the room, the silence between Kael and Victor was sharper than any blade.Victor’s eye

    Kael’s POVThe silence in the study was more deafening than the roar of the beast had ever been. I stood by the window, my bare chest heaving, the taste of Maya’s blood still sharp and electric on my tongue. It wasn't just calm; it was a clarity I hadn't possessed in years. The "Killer's Fever" ha

    Kael’s POVThe heat in the kitchen was wrong. It didn't feel like a grease fire or a short circuit; it felt like the friction of a trillion words rubbing together until they ignited. The smell of stale coffee was being drowned out by the scent of burning glue and hot copper.I looked at the man sta
