FINN

The wind carried the scent of pine as I stood in the second-floor corridor, by a cathedral-style window that stretched from floor to ceiling, my eyes on the slender figure moving swiftly through the garden and slipping passed the outer Academy gates.

Soft tap of boots echoed behind me. I didn’t turn.

Alpha Hugo’s scent hit me before his voice did—leather, power, and steel.

With a low growl, he tossed something at my feet. A crumpled envelope slid across the polished floor and came to a stop by my boot.

The letter.

My letter.

"I am warning you," his voice was rough, edged in anger, but quieter than I expected. "Don’t you dare threaten me like that again.”

I didn’t look at him. Just kept my gaze locked on Seth’s silhouette vanishing into the trees.

“Thank you,” I said softly. “For changing your mind.”

“Nothing has changed,” he snarled. “I have only given him a chance to prove his innocence by tomorrow which is impossible. He will meet his fate and everything is fixed. It’s just Se

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   143. NO SERAPHINA, NO RONAN

    RONAN“You say you’ve known all kinds of women,” I said slowly, my voice rougher than I intended. “Then tell me, why does she burn with such fury when I worry for her? When I try to protect her? Why does my possessiveness make her lash out, when it’s only because I love her?”Aran gave me a smile that was both handsome and cruel in its precision. “Instead of asking me, ask yourself this: when you were so busy worrying for her safety, were you aware of how she felt? Or did you hurt her without realizing it, blinded by your own possessiveness?”His words struck like a blade, cutting through my defenses. I remembered that night, my hand gripping her arm too tightly, my words sharp and accusing. I hadn’t asked if she was alright. I hadn’t comforted her after she and he

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   142. ADDICTED TO HER

    RONANI lost control of my wolf the instant their hands clasped. My legs moved of their own accord, carrying me closer before I even registered it. When Ryker lost intentionally, giving up the scroll to her as a love token. The word alone shattered any semblance of sanity inside me.Not because of the scroll itself, but due to his expression. And hers.Seraphina looked surprised, yes, but not caught off guard. Her expression shifted, just for a moment, before she smoothed it back into composure too quickly, far too seamlessly for someone blindsided by his confession of love. That was when the truth struck me like a blade to the chest, she knew.Ryker had already confessed his love to her. And she…she had hidden it.Verkas

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   141. TOKEN OF LOVE

    SERAPHINAHonestly, deep in my heart I knew the ending. Ryker was going to win. Everyone was well aware, however, these Alphas had to save their egos. He actually won as easily as if he were taking a stroll in the garden. Still when Grace called our names as the finalists, his smile brought a strange feeling in my chest. It was as if he had been looking at me this entire time. Waiting…for me.Still we were bound to face each other if we had not been interrupted during the task by the waterfall. If not back then, then now. I wanted that scroll and I was not going to back down even if my opponent was Alpha Ryker.My eyes flickered to Ronan across the clearing and as expected he looked like a beast in a cage. The only thing holding him back was me. His violet e

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   140. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

    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

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   139. DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?

    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 I
