Alpha Dexter is becoming a thorn in my flesh and everyday he keeps digging into my skin.
Despite having Jessica around him like a leech he still won't leave me alone. I don't understand their dynamic she's not his Luna or his fated mate last I heard they weren't even mated together.
I’ve spent months dodging him like a shadow I can’t get rid of. I Narrowly escape him in crowded hallways and give him quick excuses during pack meetings, always keeping someone else between us.
He’s patient in a way that terrifies me because I have a feeling he's planning moreways to get me.
Yesterday the clinic was too close. He cornered me, and the air was thickened with his scent of sweat and aftershave. His voice dropped so low as if we were alone instead of surrounded by patients and nurses.
“You’ve been avoiding me, Doc.”
“I’ve been busy saving the lives of your wolves, Alpha. Some of us have actual work to do.”
He smiled like he enjoyed when I spoke to him like this. His hand brushed mine when he reached past me for a nonexistent file, and electricity shot up my arm. I hated how my body reacted how my wolf stirred, I was in heat and I think he knew and was trying to toy with my wolf. But I was in control.
We weren’t truly alone and that gave me little hope. Warriors waited in the waiting area, an elderly woman was getting a checkup in the next room. He wouldn't try anything with so much people around, and my assistant hovered nearby. I was safe with the number of people around. I slipped away with a polite nod and a promise to “catch up later.”
Later never comes if I can help it, now this.
The message arrived at dawn, delivered by one of his personal guards. A simple folded note on, sealed with the pack crest:
“Report to my office at dusk. Pack business Do not delay.”
No signature needed. Only one wolf summons like that. Alpha Dexter.
My stomach twisted as I read it again. I’ve only been head doctor for four months, his choice, not mine. He overrode the council’s recommendation for old Dr. Harlan to continue being the pack doctor , claiming I was “more efficient and a fresher mind and since I went to human college I have a vast majority of knowledge and better suited to modern needs.” I was surprised when I heard all of that little I knew he had plans.
I know why he picked me, It has nothing to do with my skill with needles or herbal remedies.
Most of the old data, the pack’s medical histories, injury patterns from past raids, even the rare shifter-specific illnesses is still locked in Harlan’s dusty shelves. He retired quietly after I was appointed head doctor of the pack but he didn't stay to hand over files and put me through, but he left everything organized, cross-referenced, ready for handover. I’ve barely touched it. Why would I, when every time I step into that back room, I feel Harlan’s gaze on me like a physical weight
I could consult Harlan. He still lives in a small cottage at the edge of the territory; he is always grumpy but I'm sure he is willing to help. One quick visit, and I’d have the historical context for whatever “pack business” Dexter wants to discuss.
But the summons isn’t about pack business Not really It’s about me I just know it and he picked when i’m in heat to corner me in his office.
He always lingers when he looks at me watching my every move, my wolf is always crawling inside trying to be with his when ever i’m in heat but I know that's not a mate bond, it's just mere effect of the heat , the way his wolf rises whenever I’m near, pressing against his control. I feel it too my own wolf pacing restlessly, drawn to his strength even as every instinct tells me to run.
He’s the Alpha, very Powerful and ruthless when he needs to be. Half the unmated females in the pack would kill for his attention and I'm not ready to fight Jessica for a space in his life, I'm not ready to fight any woman. Jessica certainly has. But I don’t want to be claimed. I don’t want to be anyone’s chosen Luna, trotted out as arm candy while wars rage on the borders and people die. I don't want to be locked up dressing up pretty when I can help my pack.
I chose medicine because I heal. I mend what’s broken, I don’t break things for power or pleasure.
And yet… part of me wonders what it would feel like to stop running. To let him catch me. Just once. To see if the fire between us would burn us both or forge something unbreakable maybe choosing a mate isn't so bad.
I smooth my lab coat, check my hair, and head for the Alpha’s lodge, Warriors nod respectfully as I pass, but their eyes flick away quickly. They know. Everyone knows he’s fixated, most of them know the cat and mouse game he is playing.
I knocked once
“Enter.” I hear him say from inside I push the door open.
Dexter is standing by the massive window, so he saw me walk into the pack house, standing by the massive window overlooking the forest, back to me, hands clasped behind him.
He doesn’t turn right away, When he finally does his face is completely unreadable.
“Close the door, Nina.”
He sit “We have things to discuss.”
My pulse thuds in my ears. “About the pack’s medical records? I can consult Dr. Harlan if—”
“No.” One word and I swallow because then why i’m I here.
He stands and walks towards me Close enough that I feel the heat radiating from him.
“This isn’t about records.”
His gaze drops to my lips, then back up.
“It’s about you. And me. And the fact that you keep running… when we both know you feel it too.”
My breath catches.
He reaches out slowly, giving me time to pull away and brushes a stray lock of hair behind my ear. His fingers linger against my skin.
“Tell me I’m wrong,” he murmurs. “Tell me your wolf doesn’t wake up howling for mine every full moon.”
My wolf does nothing like that, she doesn't yearn from him she yearns for intimacy with a male wolf,
I swallow hard and think of a response that won't be rude, if he doesn't step back a few seconds away from kicking him in the John.
“I’m here because you summoned me, Alpha. Not because I want to be.”
A low chuckle rumbles from his chest.
“Liar.”
He leans in, lips brushing my ear.
“But keep lying if it helps you sleep at night. It won’t change what’s coming.”
His hand slides to my ass and that's when I lose my shirt and I kick him, he groans and stumbles back.
You just made the worst mistake of your life my dear Luna.

The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 128: HEALING
ThomasI couldn't sleep immediately, I lay in the clean bed in the warm room and listened to the sounds of the pack house settling around me, and let my mind move through everything at whatever pace it wanted.I missed being free, Dexter took that away from me, nobody has said anything about him if he was dead or alive,Deep down, I wished he was.The pack house was clearing and I could feel it, the particular lifting quality of something that had been pressing on my thoughts for months gradually releasing its grip. Not all at once. But incrementally, the way fog lifts in the morning, patch by patch, revealing more of the landscape underneath.I remembered more than I had shown Dexter’s people.That had been a deliberate choice made early in the captivity, when I had understood the nature of what was happening and calculated that appearing less functional than I was gave me more freedom than appearing fully present would. A warrior’s instinct. Assess the situation and choose your postu

Chapter 127: First Night HomeNinaThe silver fang pack received my father the way it received me and everyone, without fake smiles and with complete sincerity.Chloe had prepared the room at the end of the south corridor, the one with the wide window overlooking the garden and the old oak that caught the afternoon light in a way that turned everything golden. It was not the largest room or the most impressive but it was warm and quiet and had the particular quality of a space that had been prepared with genuine care rather than obligation.Fresh sheets. A pitcher of water on the nightstand. A small vase of late season flowers from the garden that I recognized as Chloe’s particular brand of thoughtfulness, the kind that didn’t announce itself but was simply there when you needed it.My father stood in the doorway and looked at the room for a moment.Then he looked at me.“You told them about the flowers,” he said.I hadn’t. Chloe had simply known, the way Chloe knew most things, throu

EnzoThe tunnel was narrower with Thomas than it had been without him.Not physically we could all manage the space, He was slight enough that the width wasn’t a problem. But the aura of moving a man who had been through what he had gone through underground passage required a different kind of attention we were careful so he doesn't fall of slip everyone watching him withcarefuleyes, the practical care of people moving someone who was not at full strength through difficult terrain, and I found myself on one side of him with Nina on the other and the warriors arranged around us to catch anything the terrain might throw.He moved steadily trying to act and seemed strong so we wouldn't worry. That made me respect him more.He was stronger and Better than I expected, honestly. Nina had described her father as weakened and failing and the dementia was so bad and while all of those things were true in their way, what I saw in the tunnel was someone who had spent months being deliberately m
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 125: RESCUE MISSION
NinaDad was smaller than I remembered.Not physically, he was the same height, the same broad shoulders that had carried me on them when I was small enough to fit. But he had the particular look of someone who had been compressed by months of difficult circumstances, worn thinner, worn quieter.His eyes though.His eyes were clearer than they had been the last time I had seen him in this building, that desperate five minute visit with alarms beginning to sound. The particular cloudiness that had lived in them for years, the fog of the dementia that had been stealing him piece by piece, was less dense this morning.Then he said “My little girl.”My father’s name for me. The one he had used since I was small enough to curl in his lap while he read, the one that had faded in and out over the years of his illness, present when he was clearer and absent when he wasn’t.I crossed the room and put my arms around him and he put his arms around me and the woman standing next to him, we stood
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 124: RESCUE
KaiThe tunnel entrance was exactly where Nina had described it.Three twisted oaks at the base of the eastern ridge, the ground between their roots disturbed by previous passage, a crevice in the rock face that looked like nothing but was the way to know that was the passage.I had memorized the description from her account and cross referenced it with the intel I had given Max during my debrief and it matched precisely.I went in first, not out of heroism. Out of the practical reality that I knew Crestmoon’s interior layout better than anyone else in the group and the front position was where that knowledge was most useful.Nina came second. Then Enzo. Then Tessa and Ronan and four additional warriors were moving with the compressed efficient quiet of people who had been briefed and knew exactly what they were doing.The tunnel was Damp and narrow and smelling of earth and old stone, i moved through it with the torch held low, checking each branch point against the mental map, choos

EnzoDexter went into the cells without resistance.That was the part I hadn’t entirely prepared for. I had prepared for arguments and bargaining and the particular brand of cold composure he used when he was managing a situation he didn’t control. I had not prepared for the simple quiet of a man who had made his decision in a warehouse at dawn and was inhabiting it without drama.The holding level was quiet at this hour. The regional council’s representatives had arrived the previous evening and had been working through the night with Anthony’s confession and the lieutenants’ statements, Dexter's case was two days away, the careful methodical work of people who had done this before and understood that thoroughness mattered more than speed.I walked Dexter to the cell at the end of the corridor myself.Max had offered to do it. I had said no.The cell was clean and adequately lit and carried the silver ward hum that I had ordered maintained at minimum necessary levels, enough to preve

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.

NinaThe next dayI stumble out of the pack house, my legs carrying me on autopilot through the winding paths of the compound. The air is crisp, laced with pine and the distant howl of patrols, but it does nothing to clear the fog in my head. Dexter’s words echo like a curse: medical records, Luna,
