KIRA’S POV

Minutes passed.

I didn’t know how many.

The laptop screen had gone dim in front of me, the light fading as if it, too, had grown tired of what it had shown me.

I was still seated on the edge of the bed, hands resting uselessly on my thighs, eyes unfocused, mind racing in tight, painful circles.

I swallowed slowly.

“Think,” I whispered to myself, my voice sounding too loud in the quiet room. “Just think.”

Everything I had read kept replaying in my head. The words. The warnings. The consequences.

They tangled together until I couldn’t tell where facts ended and fear began.

What if it wasn’t true?

What if those articles were just myths passed down by those who didn’t understand what they were dealing with?

Stories exaggerated over centuries, warped by fear and imagination. That made sense. It had to.

But then…

Why did it fit so perfectly?

I squeezed my eyes shut, pressing my fingers against my temples.

Lydia’s face surfaced again—confused, agitated, so sure and yet so lost

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 86

    THIRD POVAlec dismissed the maid with a brief nod, his expression carefully neutral.“You may go,” he said calmly.The maid hesitated, clearly unsettled, glancing once more at the withered flowers before bowing and backing out of the office. The door closed softly behind her, leaving Alec alone in the quiet room.For several seconds, he did not move.His eyes lingered on the vase, on the brittle stems and lifeless petals, but instead of leaning into the unease curling in his chest, he straightened his shoulders and turned away.This is nothing, he told himself firmly.Flowers wither. Accidents happen. He would not allow a series of meaningless coincidences to distract him from matters of actual importance.He walked toward his desk and sat down, pulling a stack of documents closer. There were preparations to finalize—arrangements for the Blackridge pack, patrol rotations, accommodation details, ceremonial protocols. Important matters. Matters worthy of his attention.As he reached

    THIRD POVAlec did not respond to the guard’s frantic words.He stood there for a brief moment, his back straight, his expression unreadable, his gaze fixed somewhere beyond the dead grass and the dark, silent rift. The wind stirred faintly around them, lifting dust and brittle blades, but he did not move.Finally, he turned.His voice was calm, almost cold, but there was an edge beneath it that made the guards stiffen instantly.“If something truly meaningful happens,” Alec said slowly, “something that cannot be dismissed as imagination or coincidence, then you will report to me.”He looked over his shoulder, eyes sharp. “Until then, do not waste my time.”The guard opened his mouth as if to say more, desperation flickering across his face, but Alec did not give him the chance. He walked away without another glance, his boots crunching against the dry ground as he left the rift behind.None of the guards followed him.They simply stood there, watching his retreating figure, unease

    THIRD POVAlec’s brow furrowed as he listened to the young guard, whose voice carried a mixture of urgency and confusion, the kind of tone that immediately demanded attention, though Alec could already sense the hesitation behind it. “What do you mean? What do you mean something strange happened to the rift?” Alec demanded.“Alpha, something… something strange is happening. I… I don’t know how to explain it, sir. It’s… it’s better if you come see it yourself.” The guard said, breath coming in shallow, uneven bursts.Alec raised an eyebrow, pressing his lips into a thin line as his eyes narrowed at the guard.”“Better if I come see it myself?” he repeated slowly, the irritation in his voice low but unmistakable. “You don’t know how to explain it, so you think I need to waste my time running out here because you don’t understand what’s happening?”The guard swallowed hard, eyes flicking down, then back up at him. “I… I mean no disrespect, Alpha. It’s just… it’s unlike anything we’ve se

    THIRD POV“Silence.”Alec’s voice did not echo this time. It did not need to.Every sound died instantly.The elders froze in place, mouths half open, breaths caught in their throats. Chairs creaked faintly as bodies stilled, and even that seemed too loud. The air itself felt strained, as though it might crack if anyone dared speak again.Alec stood at the head of the table, his hands planted firmly on the wood. His shoulders were squared, his posture rigid with barely restrained anger. Slowly—very slowly—he lifted his head and looked at them.His gaze was cold.“So,” he began quietly, his voice measured, “is this what you called me here for?”No one answered.Alec straightened fully, drawing himself to his full height, his presence instantly commanding the room.“Tell me,” he continued, his eyes sweeping over them one by one, cold and assessing, “did you summon your Alpha so that you could argue like children in my presence?” he asked, his tone sharp with clear annoyance.Still,

    THIRD POVThe council chamber remained heavy with silence after Elder Rowan’s last words, as though the very walls were holding their breath. Alec stood rigid at the head of the table, his jaw tight, his eyes hard with restrained defiance. For a moment, it seemed as though the discussion had reached its limit.Then another elder cleared his throat.He has hair nearly white. Slowly, he leaned forward, resting both hands on the table as he looked directly at Alec.“There is more,” he said quietly.Alec’s gaze snapped to him. “More what?” he asked, feeling more and more irritated by the minute.“More history,” the elder replied. “More reasons we hesitate.”Alec exhaled sharply through his nose but said nothing, gesturing for him to continue even though he didn't want to.The elder nodded once. “Years ago,” he began slowly. “long before you took your first shift, Blackridge hosted a gathering. Not a training. Not a negotiation. A celebration.”Several elders straightened, listening to

    THIRD POVAlec let out a sharp, humorless laugh, the sound cutting through the tense silence that had settled over the council chamber.“So now this is suddenly unprecedented?” he demanded, pushing back slightly in his chair, his hands braced against the edge of the table. “Joint warrior training. Packs hosting other packs. Are we truly going to sit here and pretend this is something new?”None of the elders answered immediately.Alec scoffed and shook his head, irritation pouring freely now.“This has been happening since before I was born,” he continued, his voice growing louder with each sentence. “Before any of you even sat on this council. Packs have always trained together. Alliances were built that way. Strength was tested that way. And now—now that I decide to do it—it suddenly becomes reckless?”He spread his hands out in disbelief. “Now it’s dangerous. Now everyone wants to clutch their chests and warn me to be careful.”His eyes swept across the room, daring anyone to chall
