KIRA'S POV

I sat alone in my office long after Erica left, the silence pressing against my ears in that heavy way that made everything inside my head feel louder than it should be.

The room felt too still, too quiet, almost as if the air itself was waiting for me to do something, but I did not even know what that something was supposed to be.

I leaned back in my chair and let out a long, shaky sigh, the kind that deflated my whole chest, as if I were trying to release all the confusion, fear, and exhaustion that had been piling up layer by layer since this morning.

My mind drifted back to the place I had shoved the bead I found on my window as if hiding it could make the uneasiness it brought disappear. It had not disappeared. If anything, the silence of my office made it feel louder — that tiny bead, lying still and innocent, yet somehow screaming at me that something was wrong.

Lydia’s bead.

I rubbed my forehead slowly. Why would Lydia’s bead be on my window?

Why would something

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 101

    THIRD POV Alec’s office felt too small for the storm raging inside him.He paced back and forth across the polished floor, his boots striking the ground with sharp, angry sounds that echoed off the walls. Every step he took felt like it carried the weight of his fury with it, building, tightening, coiling in his chest like something alive.“How dare she,” he growled, running a hand through his hair before clenching it into a fist. “How dare she defy me.”He stopped abruptly, turning toward his desk as if Kira herself were standing there, arms crossed, that stubborn look in her eyes that always made his temper spike.“I gave her room,” he continued aloud, his voice harsh in the empty office. “I gave her patience. I gave her respect. And this is what I get in return?”He let out a sharp, humorless laugh and shook his head.“I should have known better,” he said bitterly. “I have been too lenient. Far too lenient.”The memory of the phone call replayed in his mind, every word she had th

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 100

    KIRA’S POVThe moment I lifted the object in my hand, whatever fragile balance still existed between us shattered completely.The creature lunged.It moved fast—too fast—its massive body cutting through the air with terrifying force. I barely had time to react. Instinct took over where thought failed me, and I threw myself sideways just as its arm slammed into the space where my head had been a second earlier.The wall behind me cracked.The sound echoed through the bathroom like a gunshot.My heart leapt into my throat as I scrambled back to my feet, my breath coming in short, ragged bursts. My hands shook violently, but I tightened my grip on the object I had grabbed—a sharp, heavy piece of metal from near the sink. I did not even remember picking it up. I only knew it was there now, solid and real in my palm.“Stay back,” I shouted, my voice trembling despite my effort to sound strong. “Stay away from me!”The creature did not listen.It stepped forward again, its movements qu

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 99

    KIRA'S POVI stood frozen, staring at the bathtub as if my eyes were lying to me.The water was moving.Not the gentle ripple you get when a drop falls in. Not the lazy swirl left behind when someone stands up and steps out. This was violent. Chaotic. The surface of the water bucked and rolled like something underneath it was struggling—thrashing—fighting to come up for air.My mouth fell open without me realizing it. My chest tightened, breath hitching halfway in.“What…?” My voice came out as a whisper, thin and unsure, as if speaking louder would make whatever I was seeing become real.It looked like someone was drowning.That was the first thought that slammed into my head, sharp and sudden. Someone was under the water. Someone was trapped. Someone was struggling to breathe, desperately clawing their way toward the surface.My heart began to pound so hard I could hear it in my ears.This doesn’t make sense.I had just been in that tub. Just stood up. Just stepped out. There

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 98

    KIRA'S POVThe moment I finally picked up the call, the anger that had been coiled tightly inside my chest snapped loose.“What is it, Alec?” I said sharply, not even bothering to soften my tone. I stood there barefoot on the cold tile floor, my robe loosely tied around me, my fingers gripping the phone so tightly my knuckles ached. “If you’re calling to continue whatever nonsense you started this morning, then let me save you the stress right now. I do not have the strength for this. Not today. Not now.”I did not even give him a chance to respond before I continued, the words spilling out of me in a rush, layered with frustration and exhaustion.“I am tired,” I went on, pacing slowly across the room. “Emotionally tired, mentally tired. So if this is about all of that you can stop right there.”There was a brief pause on the other end of the line. Too brief. Too controlled.“Kira,” Alec said at last. “We need to talk. And you need to report to my office immediately.”I stopped pacin

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 97

    KIRA'S POVThe ringing of my phone felt louder than it should have, sharp and insistent, cutting through the thick silence of the house like a blade. The sound bounced off the walls, crawled under my skin, and made my already frayed nerves snap tighter.I stared at the screen from where I was still half-standing beside the bathtub, water dripping down my arms and legs, my skin chilled despite the steam that still clung faintly to the bathroom. Alec’s name glowed on the screen.Alec.Of course it was him.Why did it have to be him?I swallowed hard and looked away, sighing.I did not want to talk to him. I really did not. Ever since the rejection, nothing between us had felt normal anymore. There was always tension now, always something unspoken hanging heavy between us. Alpha and pack member—those words felt hollow when it came to us. Whatever we were supposed to be, it had been twisted beyond recognition.And after this morning? After the way he had acted, after the irritating,

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 96

    KIRA'S POVI opened my eyes—and the first thing I saw was movement in the water.At first, my mind refused to understand what it was seeing. The surface of the bathwater rippled unnaturally, not from my breathing, not from any movement I was making, but from something else. Something beneath it. Then pale shapes broke through the surface.Limbs.Hands.Fingers clawing their way up from the water.My breath hitched sharply in my throat as my gaze locked onto them, my entire body going rigid in the tub. The hands looked wrong. Too pale. Too stiff. The skin clung to bone in a way that made my stomach twist violently, as if whatever they belonged to had been deprived of life for far too long.“No,” I whispered, my voice barely audible, my lips trembling. “No… no, this isn’t real.”The hands gripped the edge of the bathtub, water streaming off them as something began to pull itself upward. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard it felt like it might crack through my chest. I tried
