Elijah’s POV

Dawn had not fully broken when I rose, the faint morning light barely filtering through the slats of my window. My mind was clouded with worry, worry for Leila, for her safety, and for what strange magic still bound her to Sebastian. Every sunrise reminded me that she was still out there, somewhere between two worlds: ours and the one Sebastian had dragged her into.

I dressed quickly and crossed to the healing tent, where I had fallen into the habit of spending my first hours. Supplies were neatly stacked along the shelves, bandages, salves, and herbs with moon-tinged petals. I reached for a jar of balm, but my hand trembled. Each time I thought of Leila’s pale face, I felt a pang in my chest. I rubbed the balm between my fingers, trying to calm my nerves, but it did little good.

A soft knock on the tent’s flap made me start. I turned to see Captain Theo standing there, his scarred face serious in the half-light.

“Lord Elijah,” he said quietly, lowering his voice out of r

    Liam’s PovThe night was colder than I remembered any other, the air thin and sharp against my skin as I made my way through the dense forest. My breath came in short, visible puffs that dissolved almost immediately into the darkness. Moonlight filtered through the skeletal branches above, painting pale patches on the forest floor, lighting a path that seemed both inviting and foreboding. I tightened my cloak around me and pressed forward, heart pounding in my chest. I had never felt so nervous.I followed the narrow path through the forest under the pale light of a new moon. The trees loomed like silent sentinels, their branches whispering in the night breeze. My heart thudded in my chest, not only from the sprint through thorny underbrush but from the fear and hope that roiled inside me. I clutched my cloak tighter around my shoulders, its hem greasy with the mud of the trail. Every crunch of fallen leaves under my boots made my pulse jump. I was on my way to a secret meeting with L

    Henry’s PovSilence fell, thick as iron. Elijah paled, Liam’s jaw tightened, and I felt a knot of relief and fear twist inside me. Leila was truly still ours, but if Sebastian sensed this…Elijah spoke first, voice strained. “We must keep this secret, for now. We can’t risk telling anyone else until we know for sure. If Sebastian learns we can still bond with her, he’ll tighten his watch. He’ll guard her even more closely.”I nodded. “We also need a plan. We need to find her without alerting Sebastian.”Liam nodded, relief and pain mingling in his eyes. He turned back to the map. “That’s why I called this meeting. We need to break Sebastian’s hold over her.”I knelt beside him, studying the map. “Where would you start?” I asked.Liam pointed to a narrow pass in the mountains, a route I remembered well. “If she’s with Sebastian, he likely kept her in his eastern keep, high on the ridge. We could slip through here under the cover of night.”Elijah frowned. “The guards there are strong.

    Henry’s PovI woke before dawn, as I often did, but this morning the air was colder than usual. The sky was still dark, the stars pale and distant. I sat on the edge of my bed, listening to the hush that filled my chambers. Somewhere in that stillness I heard a faint ache of unease, an echo of something wrong that I couldn’t yet name. I rose and dressed quickly, heart thumping low in my chest. I strode through the deserted courtyard, the morning air cold against my skin, my breath steaming in front of me. My boots crunched on the frost-kissed gravel, and I gazed up at the high stone walls, towers standing sentinel over our home. It should have felt reassuring, familiar. Yet I sensed a hollow emptiness, as though our pack had somehow shrunk overnight.I turned toward the great hall, its doors still closed, as if the pack’s heart pulsed on inside that empty chamber. Inside, my brothers slept, I knew Liam restless, I had seen him pacing the hallways at midnight. Elijah probably sat in th

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 46

    Sebastian’s POV As morning stretched into midday, the courtyard filled with the sounds of training: the thunk of spear into shield, the twang of bowstring, the grunts of men as they sparred. It was a symphony of preparation, an orchestra tuned to bring down an enemy.I found a quiet spot atop a raised platform in the center of the field, a dais carved from black stone. Here, I could watch everything, my army’s heart beating as one. I gestured for a young lieutenant to join me. He offered a salute and climbed the steps, sword at his side.“Report,” I said, voice carrying over the courtyard.He bowed deeply. “My lord, the southern cavalry unit is ready. Eighty riders, all armored in leather and steel. They await your commands just beyond the paddock.”“Good,” I said, noting the troop by scanning the yard. A dozen horses stood in formation, bridles lined in silver. “They will flank Crimson Moon’s rear and cut off any who try to flee.”He nodded. “Yes, my lord.”I turned my gaze back to

    Sebastian’s POVBefore the first light of dawn, I walked the length of my barracks. The air was cool, and the torches I passed burned steadily, flickering against the rough stone walls. Each warrior slept on a simple cot, their heads resting on folded cloaks. On the tables by their beds were swords, daggers, and small pouches of healing salve. The scent of iron and sweat lingered in the room, remnants of yesterday’s training.I ran a hand along the hilt of my own sword, the memory of its sharp weight grounding me. "Soon," I thought, "Crimson Moon will kneel."I moved through the narrow aisle between cots until I reached the edge of the hall where my lieutenants stood guard. Each wore the dark cloak of my army: heavy fabric cut to hide their faces, leaving only their eyes visible. They nodded respectfully as I passed.“Ensure these men are ready,” I said in a low voice to Captain Mael. His jaw tightened, and he dipped his head. “As you command.”Captain Mael was the oldest of my captai
