* Regina *

In a month of staying in the Western pack, I found new friends, or rather just a friend. His name is Brent. He is a young warrior of the West. Although I am not interested in making more friends, I accepted him because he is nice to me almost every time, so I couldn't help but be his friend, too.

He moved through the servants' quarters easily, the sort of man who carried no tremor in his hands and left no question in his face. He had come to help with the morning chores, like he always did, though "help" felt wrong, he made it feel like an exchange, not a task. He'd already tied a knot in a coil of rope, the muscle in his forearm flexing the way it always made me look at small things and then forget to breathe.

"Morning, Regina," he said, voice low so the others wouldn't pry. He offered a crust of yesterday's bread without waiting for me to take it. The gesture was so ordinary I almost believed it was only that and I liked it.

I took the bread and bit into it too quickly, t

  • The Silver Alpha   Chapter 155

    * Alpha Archer *When my mother showed a sign of slowly getting back her strength, I immediately chose the hour to visit my mate.The West was quiet in that way that never fooled me, it is too still, like a held breath. My warriors trained below the ridge, steel ringing against steel, but my attention was not on them. It was pulled eastward, stretched thin by the bond that never truly slept. Towards the Wild pack Alpha. Regina.I felt her in my heart before I thought of her. A tightness in my chest. A sharp edge in the air that did not belong to my lands. Anger is coming from her. Old resentment towards an enemy. To wolves circling a truth they did not want to face.Hold the line, I sent through the bond, careful not to intrude, only to brace. The answering warmth came back faint but steady. She was standing her ground as a strong Alpha.That was when I decided, I would go to her myself. Not as an Alpha interfering. Not as a political ally. But as the Alpha who is her mate who would s

    * Regina *There was something in the wind that I caught before anything else when the morning came.It was something that came sharp and bitter, layered with old hunger and fresh resentment. There was this emotion riding it. Anger of wolves. Like a wounded pride. It was the kind that festers when the world suddenly declares survival insufficient.I was on the ridge when Elias suddenly stiffened beside me."There are Rogues, Alpha! he said. "Six. No, eight. They're not trying to hide."I didn't move, but my senses are going alert. Below us, the Wild Pack camp breathed quietly for once. Fires burned low. Pups slept with their mothers. Warriors rested without clutching their blades. Peace was still new here, and fragile as frost."Let us see what they want from us," I said.Rowan appeared at my other side, already armored, eyes hard. "They won't be coming to join us Alpha.""No," I agreed softly. "They're coming to remind us who we used to be and we can't deny our past."The group broke

    * Alpha Archer *They said when there is a beginning there would always be an ending and that strength when lost could fail the flesh. My mother lay on the carved stone bed at the center of the room, silver hair spread across dark pelts, her breathing shallow but steady. The glowstones along the walls dimmed in respect, their light soft, as if even the fire feared waking what rested within her.Luna Zeina, because I am not married so my mother still stands as the Luna of the Western pack.But not anymore, she choose to let go of her title just days ago. She had removed the crescent torque herself.I had been there when her fingers trembled against the metal, when the symbol of her authority, of decades of guiding the West Pack through blood and winter, fell into her palm. The elders had bowed instinctively. Warriors had lowered their heads for her. My wolf had howled in protest."I am stepping down," she had said calmly, though sweat slicked her brow. "The moon has chosen another batt

    * Regina *The Wild Pack slept in uneasy layers, there are wolves curled near the fires, sentries posted along the treeline, the old rogues who still dreamed with one eye open. I stood alone at the edge of the cliff that overlooked our borders, while the wind tugging at my cloak, the moon riding high and cold above me.Seven nights since Archer had last stood on the opposite ridge, close enough that I could feel him even when I refused to look.I pressed a hand to my chest, to the place where the bond lived like a second heartbeat. It had been restless all evening. Tight and I fear that something had happened to him."Alpha."Rowan's voice carried softly behind me. "A runner just crossed the eastern markers. West Pack seal."My heart stuttered. I turned so fast my cloak snapped. "Bring it. Now."The scroll was warm when it reached my hands. Not physically, him. His presence bled through the wax and parchment, raw and unmistakable.I broke the seal. The world narrowed to ink and breath

    * Alpha Archer *I was planning to leave and see her. It was the seventh night since I last stood at the ridge facing the Wild Pack's borders, counting breaths instead of miles. I was in the war chamber, hands braced on the map table, arguing quietly with my wolf about restraint, about patience, when the mountain screamed loudly.Not in sound, in a panic. The bond snapped tight around my ribs, sharp enough to steal air from my lungs. My wolf reared, feral, terror flooding him so fast it tasted metallic in my mouth.My mother! I was moving before thought formed, doors flying open, boots pounding stone, guards scattering at the force of my passage. The scent hit me halfway down the eastern corridor.Moonflower scent and blood. There was something. wrong. I skidded into the inner chambers to find chaos stripped bare of ceremony. Healers knelt on the floor as they work. Silver bowls overturned. Moonlight bled uncontrolled from the carved runes in the walls of the room.And Luna Zeina, my

    * Regina *The Wild Pack continued to survive, under my leadership as the Alpha. That alone felt like a victory I did not allow myself to celebrate.Days passed not with ease, but with discipline and training, measured breaths, measured orders, measured restraint. The borders held, even with the test from the Alpha King. The patrols returned without blood on their claws which was good news. The stores were counted twice a day. Fires were kept low at night. We lived like wolves who knew winter was watching us.After the days had passed since the last time he visited me they stopped whispering his name around.When it came to weeks, they stopped pretending not to notice his absence. Then two weeks passed.I woke every morning with the same foolish instinct, to reach across the furs for a warmth that wasn't there. To scent the space beside me for silver and pine and the quiet strength that had become my anchor. Each time my hand closed on emptiness, I reminded myself that I was not a gir
