Shadows Beneath the Moonlight

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-24 16:19:35

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows through the tall windows of the mansion, filling the corridor in hues of amber and subtle gold.

The atmosphere seemed to be alive in the rays of light, as if the world itself joyous with this beautiful day. Yet within Max, there was no such happiness

His boots echoed against the floor, a slow, heavy rhythm of a man burdened by the thoughts circling his head.

He paced with clenched fists and tense shoulders, each stride steeped in regret.

His jaw was set tight, the memory of Mira’s eyes—so wounded, so distant—cutting deeper than any blade.

He had seen many expressions on her face, but never one that made him feel this… ashamed.

"Idiot," he muttered to himself, running a hand through his hair. "What the hell were you thinking?"

He had gone too far. Again.

Determined to make sense of his spiraling emotions, Max turned toward the one man he trusted to give him clarity—Alpha Eugene.

The door to Alpha Eugene’s study stood slightly ajar.

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Edge of the Blade

    The Council members sat in a crescent formation behind the long, dark oak table, their silver medallions catching the flicker of the lanterns. Seraphina sat in the center of the room, her hands folded neatly on her lap.The examination had been meticulous with the use of cold metal instruments, bitter-tasting tonics, questions asked in the clinical tone of healers who cared more about truth than comfort. When the healer finally nodded, a younger attendant escorted her out.“Wait outside,” Councillor Hadrian said, his voice firm. “We will review the findings and call you when we are ready.”The words echoed in her mind as she stepped into the hallway.The air beyond the chamber was cooler, with stone walls lined in heavy tapestries depicting the history of the Alpha Kings—a lineage of wolves who had seized their thrones through dominance and cunning. Each face on those woven murals seemed to stare at her, judging.Seraphina kept her spine straight, her chin lifted. Her gown swished

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Infallible Wolf

    The smell of crushed herbs and boiling water hung in the air like a heavy fog, curling around Alpha Desmond’s senses and dragging him reluctantly toward consciousness. The first thing he became aware of was the muted flicker of torchlight through his eyelids. The second was the sickly-sweet scent of medicinal salves clinging stubbornly to his skin. And then—touch. Soft, delicate fingers pressing a damp cloth to his forehead.His eyes snapped open.White-painted beams arched above him, the ceiling of the Royal Infirmary, lit in warm tones that clashed with the chill in his chest. He blinked twice, trying to gather his thoughts, but what met his gaze made his lips curl in disgust.Two of Becca’s maids hovered at his bedside, their wrists adorned with the signature gold bracelets that marked them as her personal attendants. One was adjusting the blanket over his chest; the other leaned in to wipe at a smear of dried blood on his arm.Desmond’s pulse spiked.“Get. Your. Hands. Off me.

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    In the Infirmary

    The air inside the infirmary was thick with the sterile tang of antiseptic and the faint, metallic sting of blood. The moonlight filtering through the tall, frosted windows painted pale silver streaks across the white-tiled floor. The sharp click of Becca’s tools against the metal tray echoed in the otherwise hushed room, broken only by Alpha Eugene’s ragged breathing.Becca’s brow glistened with sweat as she plucked the final sliver of poisoned claw from the deep gash along Eugene’s ribs. The wound was angry and swollen, its edges blackened from the venom Alpha Desmond had buried in his flesh. She moved with precision, her tired fingers steady despite the hour, despite the tension twisting in her stomach.All she care about was to save his life.She had been working for nearly an hour, and the stench of the poison still lingered, stubborn and nauseating. A part of her wondered if she was fighting a losing battle—until she finally dropped the last curved fragment into the small g

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Test That Could Change Everything

    The room was too quiet.Seraphina had been sitting in the same chair for what felt like an eternity, her gaze fixed on the clock on the mantel. Every tick of its delicate hands seemed to mock her, each second stretching into something unbearable.She hated waiting.With a sharp exhale, she rose from the chair.The long hem of her gown swept across the polished floor as she began to pace. Her maids, three young women with their hair perfectly braided and their hands folded in front of them, stood near the far wall watching her anxiously.“My lady,” one of them ventured softly, “perhaps you should rest until—”“Rest?” Seraphina turned on her, her eyes flashing like shards of green glass. “Do I look like I’m capable of resting?”The girl flinched. “I only meant—”“I know what you meant,” Seraphina cut in, the edge of her tone slicing through the air. “And if you have nothing useful to say, keep your mouth shut.”The other two maids exchanged uneasy glances.She stalked past them again

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Echoes in the Hallway

    The damp, musty air of the lower corridors clung to Kaelyn’s skin like an unwelcome second layer. Down here, the stones seemed to breathe with the memories of centuries—cold, wet, and whispering faint secrets she wished she couldn’t hear. The torches flickered in their iron sconces, casting jittering shadows across the narrow hallway, and for a fleeting second, she felt as though the walls were closing in.They were not far from the dungeon entrance. That fact alone tightened Kyra’s stance; her boots planted firmly on the floor, her body positioned squarely between Kaelyn and danger. The thick scent of damp earth rose from below, but mingled with it was the sharper, metallic tang of anticipation—blood not yet spilled but hovering like a promise in the air.On both sides of them, guards blocked any possible escape. They stood like statues carved from darkness, their eyes glinting under their helmets. Kaelyn swallowed hard. There were too many to fight and nowhere to run.And then t

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Seraphina’s Claims

    The air over the Sacred Grounds felt heavier than it had at the start of the duel.It was not just the lingering scent of blood and sweat, or the faint smell that still clung to the circle from the wards protecting the arena.It was the tension after Seraphina’s voice rang out like a bell, her words still hanging in the cold night air.Her tone had been steady, almost regal, the faintest tremor of defiance in her gaze as she stood there, spine straight, head high.The flicker of shock that passed through the gathered crowd was immediate—an audible ripple of murmurs breaking out across the circle, swelling into a tide of disbelief and curiosity.Becca’s jaw tightened.She had known Seraphina was ambitious, manipulative even, but to play such a card now, moments after Desmond’s defeat, was a level of boldness she hadn’t anticipated. If the duel was meant to decide the rightful Alpha King, and Desmond had lost to Eugene—badly—this was the only move that could keep the crown within Desmo
