fluorescent lights above buzzed like dying insects, casting a pale whiteness over everything in the room. Including Nina.

I stared at the pale, pathetic thing propped up in the hospital bed, drowning in that shapeless white gown that somehow still managed to cling to every soft, unwanted curve of her body, she was ugly soft and weak. The kind of female who should have bled out quietly in some forgotten corner of the territory instead of lying here like she belonged, I wish she died on th

  • The moon goddess chose wrong: twice   CHAPTER 70: NEW MATE

    MaxThe evening light filtered through the trees in soft gold shafts, turning the small clearing behind my cabin into something out of a dream. One week. Seven days that had rewired my entire world, and every single one of them had been spent with her, Eva, short for Evadne. My chosen mate still couldn't remember her name but I was sure it was something similar to Eva.I stood at the edge of the training circle we had claimed as ours just outside my cabin, my arms crossed over my chest, watching her move. She was in partial shift claws extended, eyes glowing that beautiful ember-red, fur rippling along her forearms like living flame. No more thrashing. No more panicked howls that used to tear at my soul. Ember, her wolf, had finally learned to merge. Eva's hair was braided back, strands escaping to stick to her sweat-damp neck, and the simple tank top and leggings she wore clung to her like a second skin. She looked strong. Alive and Mine.“Again,” I said, voice low and steady, the

  • The moon goddess chose wrong: twice   CHAPTER 69: Lost Mate

    Chapter 68EnzoThe first thing I noticed was the cold.Not the crisp chill of early morning air that usually slipped through the room window. This was a deeper, emptier cold the absence of her body, we had slept cuddling. My arm stretched across the sheets on instinct, fingers seeking the warm curve of Nina’s waist to pull her close to me, the steady rise and fall of her breathing against my chest. Nothing. Just rumpled blankets and the faint, fading scent of her wildI sat up fast, heart already hammering. “Nina?”My voice echoed in the quiet room, I got no answer she was probably in the bathroom. But the bathroom door was sealed shut and no noise was coming from inside. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, bare feet hitting the wooden floor, and called again, louder this time. “Nina? Baby, where are you?”Silence answered. The kind of silence that pressed in on your ribs and made your wolf pace.I yanked on the jeans I’d left draped over the chair the night before the night I

  • The moon goddess chose wrong: twice   CHAPTER 68: FOE

    Gia The dinner rush had finally thinned out, leaving the Diner wrapped in that quiet hush I loved most. Neon from the “Open 24 Hours” sign flickered across the rain-streaked windows, painting the vinyl booths in soft pink and blue. I wiped my hands on my apron, the familiar scent of frying oil and fresh coffee wrapping around me like an old friend. Fifty years on this earth, and I still found comfort in the simple rhythm of the place I co-owned with Mara the clatter of plates, the low murmur of customers' stories.I grabbed my order pad and headed toward the back booth where the new girl had slid in ten minutes ago. She looked like she’d crawled out of a war zone, her dark hoodie streaked with dirt and what might have been dried blood, wild hair tangled with leaves, eyes too bright and too haunted for someone so young. Her shoulders hunched like she was trying to disappear into the cracked vinyl seat. But there was steel under that exhaustion. I could feel it humming in the air arou

    NinaMy legs burned like they were on fire, but I didn’t dare stop running. The corridor behind me still echoed with the faint sounds of guards trying to search my father's room.The distant blare of alarms had finally started to scream through the Crestmoon pack house. I had to leave him, my dear father. I need to understand what happened to Jessica, I left her on the floor pale, drained, alive but forever changed by whatever dark thing I had pulled from her. My new power. My curse. The scratches on my face had already healed, the bruises fading as if they had never existed, but the taste of stolen life still coated my tongue like bitter ash, I had almost killed her, and I left my father to die.The tunnels swallowed me again. Damp stone walls pressed close, the air thick with mold and dust. I stumbled through the darkness, using the faint glow of my stolen flashlight to escape.Every step sent fresh pain shooting up my calves, hours went by and I kept walking. I emerged from the tu

    I didn't look back I kept running because I knew soon they would find Jessica and soon they would start looking for me.I slipped through a side entrance used for deliveries my heart slamming against my ribs. The corridors inside were quieter at this early hour. I moved quickly, following the mental image of the layout Tomas had described. Left at the grand staircase, down the long hall lined with portraits of past Alphas, then through the door was my father's room, I just had to sneak past the group of children passing, one glance at me and they would raise an alarm because I looked really suspicious.I was almost running now, reckless with desperation I felt the more time I took to get to him the more dangerous this mission could become. Dexter knew what he was doing when he kept my dad here, the pack house was always filled with people, aside from the security it was so difficult to infiltrate.And then I heard footsteps approaching from the opposite direction. I heard a familiar v

    Nina I stood frozen my heart slamming against my ribs so hard I could feel it in my throat. Jessica blocked my path completely, she stood tall and elegant, I had to be careful all she had to do was scream and my plan would go to shit.Her perfectly styled hair framed her twisted face with pure venom, and her eyes, sharp as daggers, bored into me like she wanted to peel my skin off layer by layer.I couldn’t run. Not now. One wrong move, one raised voice from her, and the entire Crestmoon pack house would swarm with warriors. Dexter would find me. My father would be lost forever. Everything I had risked coming here would be a waste. “Luna Jessica,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady even though my legs felt like water. I raised my hands slowly, palms out in surrender. “I don’t want any trouble. I swear it. I just want to see my dad. I was never after the Alpha. I even have a mate now please, just let me through.”Jessica’s lips curled into a cruel, mocking smile that didn’t rea

    Enzo Everything about her was a quiet assault on my control.The way her dark lashes fanned against pale cheeks still bruised from battle. The faint rise and fall of her chest beneath the thin hospital gown, the stubborn set of her jaw even in sleep, like she was already fighting me in her dreams.
