Kael was thanking the Moon that the meeting was finally over. The second he stepped out of the council chamber, he felt lighter. Not by much, considering the elders still existed, but enough. His wolf immediately perked up at the newfound freedom.

Mate.

“Yes,” Kael muttered.

Mate.

“I know.”

For the last two hours, his wolf had contributed absolutely nothing useful besides repeating that single word. Now that the meeting was over, however, both man and wolf were in complete agreement. They wante

  • When the moon fell   Chapter 23

    The walk back to Nova’s room was unusually quiet.No arguments.No sarcastic remarks.No threats to stab anyone.Just silence.It all started after the conversation about Ava.Kael walked beside Nova while Rylan wisely kept his mouth shut for once.The Beta knew better than to poke the Alpha after that particular discussion.Especially after the look Kael had given him.Unfortunately for Rylan, that conversation wasn’t over.Not by a long shot.We’ll deal with him later, Kael told his wolf.His wolf huffed.He deserved that look.He deserved worse.That much Kael agreed with.Still, his attention kept drifting back to Nova.She was walking a few steps ahead now, her arms crossed tightly over her chest.Lost in thought.The problem was Kael had no idea what she was thinking.Five years ago he had known.Back then he could read her expressions easily.He knew when she was angry.When she was nervous.When she was pretending not to care.Now?Now she was a stranger wearing the face of th

    To say it was tougher than last time would have been a massive understatement.The infirmary had descended into complete chaos.Nova had somehow turned a simple blood draw into a full-scale pursuit.The doctor had attempted reason.That failed.Kael had attempted logic.That failed too.Now both men were chasing a very determined human around the infirmary while trying not to knock over expensive medical equipment.“Nova!” the doctor shouted as she darted around another examination table.“No!”Kael’s patience was rapidly evaporating.His wolf, unfortunately, was enjoying every second of it.Mate is fast.“Not helping.”She’s making us work for it.“Still not helping.”Nova spotted the syringe in the doctor’s hand and immediately changed direction.“Nope!”The doctor groaned.“I just need one sample!”“You people always say ‘just one sample’!”“Because we only need one sample!”“I don’t trust you!”At one point she somehow managed to use a rolling stool as a barricade.At another poin

    The doctor pulled Kael into the hallway and quietly shut the door behind them. For a moment he simply stood there, staring at his notes with a troubled expression.“What is it, Doc?” Kael asked.The doctor exhaled slowly. “I’ve checked her three times now, and none of it makes sense.”Kael’s jaw tightened. “What doesn’t make sense?”“When I treated Nova after the Hollowfang bite, I expected the infection to progress normally. Fever. Tissue damage. Increased aggression. The usual symptoms we’ve seen a hundred times before.” He shook his head. “That’s not happening.”Kael folded his arms.“The bite wound is gone,” the doctor continued. “Completely gone.”Kael froze.“What?”“The flesh has healed entirely. No infection. No damage. No scar. It’s like the wound was never there in the first place.”Silence settled between them.“That’s impossible,” Kael finally said.“I know.” The doctor rubbed a hand across his face. “Which is why I checked again. And again. The results didn’t change.”Kae

    Kael studied her carefully, his silver eyes searching for any sign that something was wrong.“How are you feeling?” he asked.Nova frowned slightly and looked down at herself. Other than her racing heartbeat and a few bruises, she felt normal. She flexed her hands and rolled her shoulders before shrugging.“I feel fine.”Kael’s expression didn’t change.That worried her more than if he had started yelling.He had watched what happened.Watched her throw a fully grown wolf several feet across a room.Watched her lose control.And now he looked deeply concerned.“Nova,” he said quietly, “you shouldn’t have been able to do that.”She opened her mouth to argue but stopped.Because he was right.She shouldn’t have been able to do that.Before she could respond, Kael gently but firmly took hold of her wrist.“Come on.”Her eyes narrowed immediately.“Where are we going?”“The doctor.”Nova tried to pull free.“I’m not injured.”“That’s not why we’re going.”The seriousness in his voice made

    Kael was thanking the Moon that the meeting was finally over. The second he stepped out of the council chamber, he felt lighter. Not by much, considering the elders still existed, but enough. His wolf immediately perked up at the newfound freedom.Mate.“Yes,” Kael muttered.Mate.“I know.”For the last two hours, his wolf had contributed absolutely nothing useful besides repeating that single word. Now that the meeting was over, however, both man and wolf were in complete agreement. They wanted to check on Nova.As Kael made his way through the fortress halls, wolves quickly stepped out of his path. He nodded absently to those who greeted him while his thoughts drifted toward the stubborn human currently occupying one of his rooms. His wolf seemed unusually optimistic.“She’s probably asleep.”His wolf immediately disagreed.Kael frowned.Actually… that was a fair point.Nova had never been good at sitting still. Even before the world ended, she had possessed a unique talent for find

    After Marcus’s outburst and Kael nearly putting him through the council table, the meeting eventually settled back into something resembling order.Eventually.Marcus sat noticeably quieter now.Funny how that worked.Kael leaned back in his chair while the elders moved on to more pressing matters.The latest Hollowfang attack was discussed first.Two wolves had died defending the eastern barricades.Several more had been injured.Maps were spread across the table as patrol routes were adjusted and weak points along the outer perimeter were identified.Kael listened while one of the patrol leaders explained where the attack had originated.“The Hollowfangs are moving farther north than usual.”Another elder frowned.“Following prey?”“Maybe.”“Or they’re being pushed.”That possibility made the room uncomfortable.Hollowfangs rarely moved without reason.Something pushing them toward pack territory was never a good sign.The discussion shifted toward supplies next.Another allied pack

    Kael was two seconds away from punching a hole through the concrete wall.The war room had long since emptied after the Hollowfang alert, leaving only scattered maps and exhausted wolves trying very hard not to make eye contact with their Alpha.Which was smart.Very smart.Because Kael’s wolf was

    She didn’t know where she was going or where exactly she was anymore, but honestly?Anywhere was better than being trapped inside a fortress full of wolves.God knew what they actually planned to do with her.Especially that Alpha.Nova pushed through thick wet branchesMud splashed beneath her boo

    Her eyes swept across the room one more time before catching on something near the far corner.A vent.Small enough to miss if someone wasn’t looking carefully.Nova frowned slightly and moved closer.The metal grate sat low along the wall beside a cabinet, one side hanging just slightly loose from

    The doctor moved quickly.Nova barely saw the syringe before a sharp sting hit her neck“Wait—”Cold spread through her bloodstream instantly Her body jerked violently against Kael’s chest as panic surged through her.“No— no—”The room tilted Kael’s voice reached her faintly through the haze “Easy,
