KIRA’S POV

I didn’t take the notebook back from Anton. I didn't need to, the image on it was already clearly burned into my head...however, I wasn't satisfied.

For a moment, I just stood there, staring at the closed cover like it might open itself and show me something worse... something more.

My heart was beating too fast. It was as if it was going to fall out through my mouth. My palms were damp...I wiped it on my clothes to no avail, it got even more damp as I tried.

The house felt too quiet, like it was listening...like the walls were literally alive, but silent and watching...waiting for the right to me to react.

Anton waited without speaking.

He didn’t push, he didn’t say a word, but I could tell he was trying to process a lot in his mind. He just watched me with that steady, unreadable expression, like he already knew this wasn’t over, but couldn't say too much because he had no way of proving anything.

I tried to do same...just be silent and not say anything more because I

    THIRD POVBy the time Alec finished issuing orders to the maids and guards, his patience was hanging by a very thin thread.“Make sure the east wing is cleared and prepared,” he said firmly, his voice echoing through the corridor. “I want fresh linens, no reused rooms, and double security at every entrance. No mistakes.”“Yes, Alpha,” one of the guards replied immediately, bowing his head.“And tell the kitchen staff to prepare a formal reception,” Alec continued. “Nothing excessive, but nothing careless either. The Blackridge pack will be treated with respect.”The moment the words left his mouth, an angry scoff cut through the air.“I still don’t understand why you’re doing this.”Alec closed his eyes briefly. He didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.Amanda.She stood a few steps behind him, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her face twisted in open irritation. She had been following him since, her footsteps sharp and her presence impossible to ignore.“I told you alrea

    KIRA’S POVFor several seconds after Lydia finished speaking, I did not move.I stayed seated in front of her, my hands resting uselessly on my knees, my mind locked in a place somewhere between disbelief and dread. The room felt smaller than it had a few minutes ago, as though the walls had quietly crept inward while she was talking.The air itself felt heavier, pressing down on my chest.I had listened to countless confessions in my career. Trauma. Hallucinations. Repressed memories. Dissociation. I knew how to categorize stories, how to name them, how to place them neatly into diagnoses that made sense.This did not fit anywhere.Lydia sat on the edge of the bed, shoulders slumped, eyes unfocused, like she had emptied herself out by telling me everything she had carried alone for so long. She looked exhausted in a way sleep could never fix.I swallowed hard and forced myself to breathe.“Lydia,” I said slowly, carefully, afraid that the wrong tone might shatter her. “I need to

    THIRD POV Lydia’s scream tore through the quiet ward like a blade.She jolted upright in bed, her chest heaving violently as if she had just been dragged out of deep water. For a split second, she looked around wildly, her eyes unfocused, her breathing erratic, and then panic completely took over.“No—no—no!” she screamed again, throwing the sheets aside.Before anyone could stop her, Lydia leapt off the bed and bolted for the door, her bare feet slapping against the cold tiled floor. She shoved the door open and ran straight into the hallway, her hospital gown fluttering behind her as she sprinted blindly forward.“Lydia! Stop!” one of the nurses shouted.Two nurses immediately took off after her, their shoes squeaking loudly against the floor as alarms of concern echoed down the corridor. Lydia ran as if something was chasing her, as if stopping meant certain death. Her sobs were loud and broken, mixing with frantic screams that sent chills down the spines of anyone who heard t

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 75

    THIRD POV Lydia slept.Machines hummed softly beside her hospital bed, their steady rhythm the only thing anchoring her to the present. The room was dim, as the curtains were closed. Her chest rose and fell slowly, lashes resting against her cheeks, her body still—too still.Then her brow furrowed.Her breathing changed.And the world slipped.Suddenly Lydia was standing in a hallway she hadn’t seen in years.The walls were familiar—cream-colored. The old family photos were still there, crooked frames she remembered her mother always meaning to fix and never did. The carpet soft beneath her feet was.Her childhood home.Lydia froze.Her heart began to pound, not with surprise—but recognition.“I know this,” she whispered, though no sound came out.Then she saw herself.Small. Thin. Barefoot.The younger Lydia burst out of a bedroom down the hall, eyes wide with fear, pajama sleeves bunched in her fists as she ran.“No,” Lydia breathed. “Not this.”But the dream did not listen.The

    Alec held the envelope in his hands, staring at the seal of the Blackridge pack one more time before carefully breaking it open. He pulled out the folded letter inside and began reading. His eyes scanned the words quickly, taking in the message while Amanda hovered nearby, arms crossed, tapping one foot impatiently.The letter was from the Alpha of the Blackridge pack. Polite, formal, and clear. They were extending a hand to the Night Crescent pack, suggesting a joint training session between their warriors. They wanted the Night Crescent pack to host the event, as Blackridge’s grounds were too small to accommodate the number of warriors of both the Blackridge pack and Night Crescent pack. The letter outlined the goal: to allow the warriors of both packs to come together, share skills, exchange ideas, and grow stronger collectively.Alec exhaled slowly, folding the letter neatly in his hands. “It seems… they want us to host a joint training session,” he said carefully, keeping his

    THIRD POVAlec’s chambers were unusually silent, save for the sound of his boots echoing loudly against the floor. He paced back and forth with rapid, uneven steps, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. His jaw was tight, his eyes dark with fury, and every muscle in his body screamed tension.The memory of Anton throwing him across the room replayed in his mind, each second fueling the fire inside him. His pride, his ego, his very sense of control had been shattered in one effortless, humiliating moment.Amanda stood near the far wall, arms crossed, watching him carefully. She had seen Alec angry before, but this was different. This was deeper—his pride had been wounded, his ego shattered in a way she knew wouldn’t fade quickly. She knew him too well; she could feel the storm brewing inside him like a living thing, threatening to consume everything in its path.“How dare he!” Alec growled, his voice low but vibrating with barely contained rage. “Do you know what he did, Ama
