Night settled gently over the conquered lands of Midnight.

The once-proud Pack House no longer echoed with the laughter of its people.

Its halls had become unfamiliar.

Only the moon remained unchanged.

Inside a quiet chamber...

Luna Seraphine stood alone.

She had not moved since Alpha Darius walked away.

His final words still lingered like poison within the room.

"Tomorrow night..."

"Choose..."

"Or your people will."

She slowly closed her eyes.

As the night has come.

Another tear escaped despit

  • The Rise Of The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 71 — THE RETURN

    The battle was over.But the forest had not recovered from it.Bodies covered the clearing. Broken weapons lay between the trees, and the earth was dark with blood. The scent of wolves still hung heavily in the air.Selene stood in the middle of it all, staring at Kaelen.She had watched him fight.She had watched him tear through Varek's strongest warriors as though they were nothing.She had seen strength before. She had seen skilled warriors. She had even fought some of the best wolves Red Claw had ever produced.But nothing had prepared her for him.Kaelen was different.He stood several steps away, wiping the blood from his sword. His breathing had finally begun to settle, but his attention was no longer on the bodies around them.It was on her.Selene tried to straighten herself.“I am fine.”Kaelen looked at her.“You are exhausted.”“I can still move.”“That is not what I said.”She frowned.“I know what you said.”“Then listen to it.”There was no anger in his voice. No attem

    Her eyes met his.“Stay with me.”The words were simple, but something inside Selene responded before her mind could argue.She nodded.“I will.”Then the rogues came.They rushed from every direction, their claws flashing beneath the pale light filtering through the trees.Selene tightened her grip on her dagger.She had never been the kind of woman who waited for someone to fight her battles. Even now, with dozens of rogues closing in, the old fire inside her refused to surrender.The first wolf came straight for her.She moved aside, struck him across the jaw and drove her dagger into his shoulder.Another came immediately after.She ducked.His claws passed over her head.She turned and kicked him hard enough to send him stumbling backward.But there were too many.Kaelen saw it.He stepped forward.The change in him was almost frightening.His wolf rose beneath his skin, and the air around him seemed to tighten.He moved.One rogue fell.Another.Then another.His sword cut throu

  • The Rise Of The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 69 — THE TRAP CLOSES

    The forest had gone strangely quiet.Kaelen stood in the middle of the narrow path, his eyes moving slowly over the trees ahead. The traps they had discovered earlier were no longer a threat. One by one, they had found them, avoided them, and moved past them.The hidden ropes had failed.The pits beneath the leaves had failed.Even the sharpened stakes and wires the rogues had carefully placed between the trees had failed.Their advantage was gone.Selene knew it.Kaelen knew it.And somewhere in the darkness, the rogues knew it too.They had no more reason to hide.Their traps had failed, so the next step was obvious.They would come for them themselves.Selene stood a few steps behind Kaelen, watching the way he studied the forest. He wasn't restless. He wasn't nervous. If anything, he looked almost too calm for a man who knew they were surrounded.Then his hand lifted slightly."Stay close."Selene moved nearer without thinking.She stopped after taking two steps.Something about t

    The forest had become too quiet.Not peaceful.Quiet in the way that made Kane slow his steps.He stopped beside a tall tree and looked around.Nothing.Only the soft movement of leaves above them.Selene stood a few steps behind him, watching his face.“You've stopped again.”Kaelen didn't answer immediately.His eyes moved across the trees.There were no birds.No small animals moving through the bushes.Even the wind seemed to have changed.Something was wrong.But he couldn't see it yet.Selene folded her arms.“What are you looking for?”“Nothing.”Kaelen finally glanced at her.For a brief moment, neither of them spoke.Then Kaelen continued walking.Selene followed.Neither of them knew that they were already being watched.Farther ahead, hidden among the thick trees, several rogues crouched behind the bushes.They had been there for hours.Their bodies were covered with leaves and dirt. They barely moved.One of them slowly raised two fingers.The others understood.Wait.Thei

    Mira had stopped pretending she was fine.She stood before Darius, her composure slowly cracking beneath the weight of a mother's fear.“How long are you going to sit here, Darius?”Darius remained silent.Mira stepped closer.“She is our daughter.”“I know.”“Then act like her father.”His eyes hardened.“You think I don't want her back?”“I think you're allowing your history with Varek to stand between you and Selene.”The words struck deeper than she intended.Darius looked away.For several seconds, the room remained silent.Then he finally spoke.“Then we find a way to get her.”Mira's breathing steadied.“And if Varek refuses?”Darius slowly lifted his eyes.Something cold had settled behind them.“Then we will not ask with gentleness.”Rogan straightened.Darius rose from his seat.“We storm his territory.”The chamber went still.No one questioned him.No one dared.Darius turned toward the warriors.“Prepare the strongest wolves. We move when I give the order.”A warrior bowe

    Selene was the first to pull away.For several seconds, she said nothing.She simply stood there, staring at him as though she were trying to understand what had just happened.Her heart was beating far too quickly.She had been kissed before.Simon had been her first.She remembered how carefully he had approached her, how much courage it had taken him, and how she had allowed it because, at the time, she had appreciated the feelings he carried for her.But afterward, she had made herself clear.A kiss did not change anything.She would never belong to him.Simon had accepted that, even if he never truly stopped hoping.This was different.She didn't know why.Maybe it was because she had never expected to feel anything from a man she had known for barely a day.Or perhaps it was because this man had spent every moment resisting the very thing that had just drawn them together.Kaelen remained still.He wasn't embarrassed.He wasn't smiling.He didn't look like a man who had just kis
