The scout shows up at noon.
I’m in the war room, going over maps and making plans. Viktor is out there, healing and regrouping. I can feel it deep down.
“Alpha.” The scout is panting, his face white as a sheet. “Viktor's forces are gathering in the eastern valley. He’ll be ready to strike in a week. Maybe sooner.”
I grip the table’s edge. “How many?”
“Eight hundred. Maybe

The Rejected Luna's Second Chance Chapter 211: Wounded Wolf
Walter's POVPain.It blooms through my side like fire, hot and relentless, as I crash through the underbrush. Branches tear at my cloak. Roots snag my boots. The forest is a blur of shadow and silver, and for the first time in years, I am running not as the hunter but as the hunted.My breath comes in ragged gasps. Blood soaks through my cloths and cloak, warm and sticky against my skin.The wound isn't deep—a glancing blow from one of those masked bastards—but it's enough. Enough to slow me. Enough to remind me that I am not invincible.I burst through the hidden entrance of the penthouse, slamming the heavy door behind me, and collapse against it. The world spins. I press my hand to my side, feeling the blood pulse between my fingers, and force myself to breathe. In. Out. In. Out.The penthouse is quiet, lit by the soft glow of wall sconces. Marble floors. Crystal chandeliers. Art on every wall. My sanctuary. My fortress. But tonight, it feels like a cage.Footsteps. Two of them, h
The Rejected Luna's Second Chance Chapter 210: The Name of A Monster
Selena's POVThe safe house at the border is small and dimly lit, but it's secure—one of Basil's hidden outposts, far from the prying eyes of Ironhold. The walls are thick stone, the windows boarded, the only entrance guarded by two of Basil's most trusted warriors. Inside, the air is heavy with the scent of tears and relief and a grief so profound it feels like a living thing.Mary and Zeo are on the floor, wrapped around each other so tightly they might never let go. They've been crying for twenty minutes, their sobs echoing off the stone walls, their bodies shaking with the force of their reunion. I stand in the corner, my hand pressed to my mouth, tears streaming down my own face. Basil is beside me, his weathered face wet, his massive frame is steady."My baby," Mary keeps whispering, over and over, like a prayer. "My baby, my baby, my baby."Zeo is crying too, her small face buried in her mother's neck, her little fingers clutchi
The Rejected Luna's Second Chance Chapter 209: The Watchtower
Damian's POVThe old watchtower rises against the darkening sky like a broken tooth, its stone walls crumbling, its wooden beams weathered by decades of wind and rain.We've surrounded it in silence, our faces hidden behind dark masks, our bodies pressed low to the forest floor. Basil's warriors are positioned along the perimeter, hidden in the shadows of ancient trees. Selena and I lie closest to the tower's entrance, our breathing synchronized, our hearts pounding in our chests.Greta's mixture is heavy on our skin—a paste of crushed herbs and animal musk that makes us smell like the forest itself. Sage and cedar, stag musk and blackthorn root, blended together so completely that even I can't detect my own scent beneath it. The Collector's men won't sense us. They won't know we're here until it's too late.Beside me, Selena is motionless, her eyes fixed on the tower door. I can feel her tension, her fear, her desperate hope. We've planned this operation down to the last detail, but
The Rejected Luna's Second Chance Chapter 208: The Breaking Point
Damian's POVThe tension in our chamber is suffocating. Selena paces by the window, her arms wrapped around herself, her brow furrowed in thought. I sit on the edge of the bed, my elbows on my knees, my head in my hands. The rescue plan is a fragile thing, held together by hope and desperation. We need allies. We need more warriors. But trust is a currency we can't afford to spend.The door bursts open without a knock.Basil stands in the doorway, his chest heaving, his eyes wild. The usually Delta looks like a man possessed—his face flushed, his fists clenched at his sides, his jaw tight with barely contained emotion. For a moment, no one speaks. Then he steps into the room and closes the door behind him with a force that rattles the hinges."What is going on?" he demands, his voice rough. "And don't tell me ‘nothing.’ I'm done with the lies. I'm done with the silence. Something is wrong in Ironhold, and nobody will tell m
The Rejected Luna's Second Chance Chapter 207: Desperate Request
Selena's POVThe room is thick with tension as we gather around the small table in Mary's quarters. The phone sits in the center, black and ordinary, yet it might as well be a live grenade for all the danger it represents.Damian stands by the door, his arms crossed, his face carved from stone. Greta sits beside Mary, her weathered hand resting on the maid's trembling fingers. I pace near the window, my heart pounding against my ribs.We've spent the morning coaching Mary. What to say. How to say it. The right balance of fear and desperation to convince the Collector that she's on the verge of breaking. We rehearsed the script a dozen times until the words felt natural on her tongue. She was ready.But now, looking at her face—pale, haunted, her eyes red from tears she hasn't shed yet—I realize that none of this is an act. Mary isn't playing a role. She's living a nightmare, and we're asking her to dive deeper into it."Re
The Rejected Luna's Second Chance *Chapter 206: Sera's Light
Sera's POVI wake slowly, the afternoon light filtering through the curtains in soft golden streams. For a long moment, I simply lie still, letting consciousness wash over me like a gentle tide. Gracia's side of the bed is empty, the sheets cool. He must be in a meeting, discussing pack business, carrying the weight of Ironhold on those broad shoulders of his. But even in his absence, I feel his love like a warm cloak wrapped around me.I feel stronger than I have in months. Stronger than I have in years, perhaps. The constant ache in my bones has faded to a dull whisper.My lungs draw breath without protest. My mind feels clear, unclouded by the fog that has haunted me for so long. I don't understand it—this sudden return of vitality—but I am grateful. So deeply, profoundly grateful.I reach for the photograph on the nightstand. Sela and Tristan, their faces bright with youth and promise. My children. My reasons for fighting thr
The Rejected Luna's Second Chance CHAPTER 1: Night Before
My hands won't stop shaking.I press them flat against my thighs, but the tremors just move up my arms. The white dress my mom wore thirty years ago feels too tight around my ribs, or maybe that's just my lungs forgetting how to work."You'll ruin it." My dad's voice comes from behind me. Soft. Car
The Rejected Luna's Second Chance CHAPTER 5: Healing Garden
I wake up to sunlight and the smell of something cooking.For a second, I forget where I am. Think I'm back home, in my tiny room, with Dad making breakfast downstairs. Then I see the white walls, the unfamiliar ceiling, the fireplace with cold ash in it.Right. Silvermoon. Damian's house. Not dead
The Rejected Luna's Second Chance CHAPTER 4: Confrontation
I can't breathe.Caden stands in the middle of Damian's front yard like he owns it, he does owns everything. His dark hair catches the morning light. His ice-blue eyes sweep over the Silvermoon pack members with that look I know too well—the one that says *you're beneath me* without him having to o
The Rejected Luna's Second Chance CHAPTER 3: Savage Alpha
I wake up in a bed that's not mine.That's my first thought. Before I open my eyes, before I remember anything—just that the sheets smell different. Like pine and something else. Something clean and sharp.Then everything comes rushing back. The rejection. The run. The rain. The wolves.I sit up so
