RONAN

The last rock fell with a final, echoing thud…

And she was gone.

Her beautiful Amber eyes looking into mine were gone.

One breath. That’s all it took for the world to cave in.

I stared at the sealed tunnel, frozen in place. My wolf was no different than me. The sunlight warmed my skin, but inside, I was ice. Shocked and suddenly feeling a strange feeling rising inside me.

She had been left inside. Not alone but with thousands of vampires.

My chest heaved, air scraping my lungs, but it did nothing—no air could reach the hole her absence tore open in me. What was this feeling? I wanted to rip something apart. Someone apart.

A sound ripped from my throat—half growl, half something else. Something darker.

“NO!!” I lunged at the blocked tunnel, falling to my knees as I clawed at the stones with bare hands, not caring that my fingers split open, that my nails cracked and bled.

I did not even bother to wonder where Dante and Finn had suddenly gone, that they basically disappeared

    RONANLater, the academy wolves came to clean the mess in the clearing. Alpha Jude left without ceremony, not wanting to disturb the party, while Healer Aran lingered, barking orders and imposing the work on the wolves under him. His assistants carried Reed away in silence.The party resumed, though the air was different now, muted. Some of the Alphas had gone quiet, their earlier arrogance tamed. Cassius had slunk away, humiliated, his pride stripped in front of everyone.I sat back, wine in hand, but my attention never left her.Across the clearing, Seraphina stood beside Grace, who seemed determined to chatter her ear off. Seraphina responded with controlled grace, offering a laugh here, a polite tilt of her head there. The way she stood shoulders straight, chin lifted, radia

    RONAN“Don’t let Reed be expelled. Please, Seth,” Seraphina was silent for a beat before finally saying, “Okay.”My head snapped toward her faster than a blink. What? Did she just… forgive that bastard? Cassius’ pathetic face lit up like he’d just been handed salvation. He released her hand and turned toward Alpha Jude with a triumphant smirk. “Did you hear, Alpha Jude? Seth was just playing with Reed. It was between friends…”My fists curled so tight my nails bit into my palms. I was seconds away from yanking him to the ground by his hair and smashing his smug face into the dirt. He was twisting her words, manipulating her—“See,” Cassius went on, “it was just a game, so no need for expulsion—”“When,” Seraphina’s voice cracked like a whip through the clearing, cold and thunderous, “did I say that?”Silence fell like a blade. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath.Cassius froze, turning to her in shock. “You—you just said okay—”“You didn’t hear me completely, Alpha Cassius,” sh

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   138. FRIENDS?

    RONANSince childhood, I’d never truly known what desire was. Anything my eyes lingered on, my father would place at my feet. From gilded toys to brand-new cars, everything I could ever want was always waiting within reach.When I came of age he began lining women up in my room, noble-born Alpha daughters, alluring Omegas with flawless smiles. Yet stripped bare, they were all the same just flesh and bone, with no spark behind their eyes.None of them stirred me. The rut was never as agonizing as watching those women throw themselves at me, each one predictable in her intentions, either chasing Luna's title or desperate to be knocked up, hoping to claw their way higher in the pack hierarchy.It was all so painfully transparent. Irritating, even. In twenty-four years of life, I had never met a woman who could hold my attention, much less someone I’d want to call my princess.Until I met her.“You have won, princess.”She was the one that made me taste what an actual desire was. The one

    SERAPHINA After my mother died, my father replaced the toy sword in my hand with a dollhouse. My friends were swapped for the daughters of Alphas, my place in the training yard taken from me and replaced with the suffocating “Play Room,” where I was molded into the image of a perfect Luna.Act according to your mate’s wishes.Follow his orders without question.Speak only when spoken to.Fulfill your duties as a wife in bed, as a Luna to the pack, and—above all—produce a son.An heir.And then one day, I asked my father, Why a son for an heir? Why not a daughter?His reply was as cold as winter steel. “Women are weak.”Those words tore something inside me wide open. And from that wound was born the Seraphina my father hated to have brought into this world.And right now, as I listened to this arrogant Alpha spit the same poison, that buried monster inside me stretched and bared its teeth.“There are no rules,” Alpha Jude announced, stepping back. “You go home when the other stand.”

    SERAPHINAWhy did none of them question me? Where had I disappeared? What happened?The more I thought about it, the more a strange heaviness began to coil deep in my chest, tangled with the odd way they’d all been treating me the past few days.“Cat got your tongue, Seth Darven? Or can’t you come up with an excuse when you’re suddenly called out?” Cassius sneered, yanking me from my thoughts.“He just can’t admit in front of Grace that he’s nothing but a pussy,” Reed drawled.The clearing burst into laughter. I stared at the fool spewing nonsense, desperate to be a hero in front of the others.Before I could speak, a growl ripped through the air, deep and sharp enough to silence the clearing. Even I jolted.“Speaking ill can get you killed sometimes, you know,” Finn’s cold voice cut through the noise like a blade. His eyes locked on Reed, and for a brief moment, even Reed’s smirk faltered. “Seth Darven was with us, risking his life, going into the underground brothel as a dollboy jus

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   135. WHY?

    SERAPHINAAfter my conversation with Grace, my heart was restless. I began replaying every argument between Ronan and me, questioning whether I’d overreacted to his possessiveness. The unease was so heavy I couldn’t bring myself to wash the meat near him. I ended up taking another job. I needed space to untangle everything between us.“Can I have some meat too?” Asher’s deep, velvety voice came from my side, warm enough to curl against my skin.I glanced up to find him smiling, fresh from the hunt, broad shoulders still damp from sweat and the earthy scent of the forest clinging to him. Thanks to him, everyone was feasting on fresh pork tonight.“Of course,” I matched his smile and served him a generous portion.
