Alpha Orion’s POV

The moon rode high and cold in the velvet sky as I mounted my steed outside the packhouse gates. Night had descended fully, wrapping our territory in silver light and deep shadows. A chill wind rustled the pines, carrying with it the earthy scent of pine needles and distant moss. Beneath my cloak, I felt the weight of my mantle: not just leather and steel, but the life of our pack entrusted to me.

I had heard rumors of Leila’s restlessness, her desperate longing to flee the safety my sons had built. I worried, as any guardian would, that the magic still tangled in her mind would push her toward danger. Tonight, I resolved to find her before she crossed the border. Under my leadership, no wolf of ours would walk alone into peril.

I rode to the eastern boundary, where the forest grew thick and the underbrush tangled between ancient oaks. The moon’s pale beams lit a narrow path I knew well, a path once used by scouts but now largely forgotten. As I trotted forward, memo

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 98

    Leila’s POV The Blood Moon loomed above us, I stood at the edge of the ceremonial grounds, heart beating against my ribs like war drums.The pack had gathered. Hundreds of wolves lined the outer circle in silence. Young, old, wounded, strong. I looked down at my hands. The ceremonial robe I wore was white, stitched with silver threads that shined faintly with every step. The triplets stood across the sacred fire, each robed in deep crimson trimmed with black. Henry’s expression was calm. Elijah was proud and gentle. Liam looked tense but determined. Behind them, the full council sat in their stone seats. Orion was at the center, cane in one hand, gaze sharp despite his age.I stepped forward. I reached the center of the circle. The triplets turned to face me, one by one.Henry stepped forward first. His hand gently took mine. His eyes searched mine—not asking for permission, but offering a vow. He pressed a silver dagger against my wrist. I didn’t flinch. The blade slid cleanly,

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 97

    Henry's POV The grounds smelled of ash, pine, and dried herbs. I stood at the edge of the ceremonial circle, watching as the young wolves moved in silence, laying down silverstone markers and sprinkling protective salts. The Blood Moon would rise in less than two nights, and everything had to be perfect.I knelt down and pressed my palm into the earth. The soil was warm. “Still?” Elijah’s voice came from behind.I didn’t turn. “Yes. There’s something beneath us, faint, like a shadow watching us.”“Elijah,” I said. “We may have driven Sabastian’s spirit back but some part of him still lingers. I can feel it in the ground, in the air.”He didn’t argue. He felt it too. We all did.We had cleared the traitor, banished Kane, and doubled the protective runes but the ache at the base of my spine remained. It was the same feeling I had every time Sabastian entered a room. I dusted off my hands and looked at the center of the circle. That’s where she would stand Leila. Our mate. Our Luna.

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 96

    Leila povThe war was over but the fear remained. I could feel it in the way the young ones looked over their shoulders. In how they flinched when the wind howled too loud. I sat legs crossed in the middle of the training circle surrounded by twelve wolves. Most of them were just kids, some hadn’t shifted yet. Others had seen too much to ever shift peacefully again.I kept my voice calm as I guided them through breathing exercises. Elder Mira had taught me how to center a shaken wolf. I was trying my best to follow her steps. It worked… for a while.Until Ressa started shaking.Her fingers curled into claws, her eyes went wide, her breath came in gasps. I moved closer to her and kept my tone soft.“You’re okay, you’re safe.”She looked right through me. “I can hear him.”My skin turned cold. “Who Ressa?”“Sabastian,” she whispered. “He talks in my dreams, he says he’s not dead, he says he’s coming back.”The circle broke apart. One of the boys growled, another stood and backed a

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 95

    Elijah’s POV The first light of dawn filtered through the high windows of the council chamber, casting long beams across the polished stone floor. I stood beside Orion at the head of the great oaken table, maps and sealed scrolls laid before us. Henry and Liam flanked me, stern faces already fixed in the day’s business.Orion cleared his throat. “My sons, Elijah…” He paused to look each of us in the eye. “The time has come to repair alliances beyond our borders. I need you, Elijah, to carry these messages to the other Alpha leaders.”He tapped a sealed scroll marked with the Crimson Moon sigil. “These letters propose renewed trade, mutual defense against the dark packs, and an invitation for Leila to speak as Luna in each council.”My heart stuttered at the mention of Leila’s name—her voice in foreign halls was unthinkable just weeks ago. Now, it was necessary for peace. I nodded, careful to keep my expression even.“I will carry them,” I said quietly.Orion’s gaze softened with fath

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 94

    Liam’s POVI’d been restless all evening. Peace had returned to Crimson Moon, but it didn’t feel like victory. My muscles itched for the clash of blades, the roar of battle—but the training yard lay quiet now, wooden dummies untouched. I wrapped my cloak tighter against the night chill and made my way toward the orchard, hoping fresh air might settle my nerves.As I passed the old oak where Leila and I had shared so many dawns, I heard a whimper. I froze. The moonlight slipped through the branches, illuminating the grass in silver pools. Beneath one, a young wolf crouched, shoulders trembling, eyes wild.I approached slowly. “Hey there,” I whispered, keeping my voice soft. “I’m Liam.”He jerked his head up—pale eyes wide as he tried to see me through panic. “I—” his voice cracked—“I thought I was alone.”“Not tonight,” I assured him, crouching a few feet away. “What’s your name?”He swallowed. “Corin.”“Corin, you’re safe here.” I lifted my hands, palms open. No sword, no shield—just

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 93

    Leila’s POV The morning was cool and quiet as I slipped through the healer’s tent, cradling a small bowl of cooling salve. I’d treated most of the wounded, patched the new cuts from yesterday’s training, and had just enough time for one more patient: myself.I unwrapped the light bandage around my right forearm. Underneath lay the faint pink line of a scar, slightly raised, winding like a river of old pain. It had come from my first escape attempt, when I had fled Sebastian’s chamber. I’d been pushed against a stone wall; the mark had burned into my flesh, and later healed with the soft pink line that still held memories.But this morning, under the soft lantern light, I noticed something I’d missed before: a faint shimmer around the scar’s edge. A twist of silver light, as though magic still pulsed beneath the skin.My breath caught. I leaned in, heart pounding. I whispered to myself, “Impossible…”I dabbed the salve over the scar, but the shimmer remained, a heartbeat of light at t
