The Celebration

Chapter Seventy-one Talon Maverick I wanted to believe I’d made a terrible mistake. That I’d let emotion cloud my judgment and fractured a legacy built over centuries—revealing my identity to a woman, all because of a weakness I dared to call love. I tried to bury myself in that guilt, to convince myself that what I’d done was not only reckless but shameful. But no matter how hard I tried to make myself regret it, I couldn’t. Because it wasn’t a mistake. It was the only truth I’d ever offered her. Stripped of power, stripped of pretense—I gave her me. All of me. I wanted forever with her, and I thought the first step was honesty. I thought she would stay. But she didn’t. She asked me to let her go. She looked me in the eyes, her voice trembling, and told me to let her go—as if what we had meant nothing, as if it was that easy. As if I hadn’t bled in silence just to keep her close. I still don’t understand why. What frightened her more—who I was, or how deeply I loved her?

The Edge

Chapter Seventy-two Talon Maverick Nothing must happen to Thalina. Nothing. Nothing must happen to her. If anything does—if something goes wrong—I won’t be able to forgive myself. I won’t even be able to look at myself anymore. If anyone has to suffer, let it be me. If death is the price, then take me instead. If there must be pain, if there must be sickness, give it to me. Not her. Never her. I couldn’t bear it. I wouldn’t survive it. Yes, she told me to let her go. Yes, she said we couldn’t be together. That I had to move on. And maybe I could have. Maybe I would’ve learned to live with the distance, the ache—if only she had stayed alive. If only she hadn’t made this reckless decision to drink poison meant for me. If only she hadn’t done this. I could’ve let her go. But not like this. Not like this—not watching her slip away in my arms, her life bleeding out because of me. “Where the hell is the physician?!” I shouted, my voice echoing like thunder through the

The Proposal

Chapter Seventy-three Thalina The moment my eyes opened and the bright light above shone into them, I shut them again, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. Different thoughts raced through my mind all at once. Was I dead? Was this the afterlife? What was that light? I didn’t know where I was. I didn’t know what I was. I didn’t know anything. My mind was blank in that moment—I couldn’t think. If I was in the afterlife, then surely I’d see the Moon Goddess soon. She should be somewhere around here. And honestly, I didn’t care if I had died. I didn’t care if I’d left the world without fulfilling every single one of my heart’s desires. There was no real reason to stay in that world to begin with. But there was one question I needed answered—just one: Was Professor Maverick okay? And… did he miss me? Did he understand the sacrifice I made for him? If I was going to die, then he deserved to know that I did love him. More than anything. More than anyone. I didn’t tell him to

My Lina. My Luna

Chapter Seventy-four Talon Maverick I always knew I could have any woman I wanted. I knew with a snap of my fingers, a thousand women would come running, begging—eager to bear my name, to sit beside me on the throne, to be Queen. Noblewomen, alpha princesses from powerful kingdoms—women of status, wealth, and beauty. I could have any of them… but none of them made me feel what Thalina did. I closed my heart to love. I vowed I’d never give in to feelings like that again. I called them a weakness—believing they would strip me of the control and power I needed to rule, to lead like a true Alpha. But I was wrong. Deeply, terribly wrong. Love wasn’t my downfall. It was the one thing that filled the emptiness I’d carried for far too long. It was the comfort I didn’t know I was craving, the quiet strength I never thought I needed. Love—real love—isn’t weakness. It isn’t foolish or fragile. With the right person, love becomes your greatest strength. It makes you feel whole, lik

Taboo: The Human Mate

Chapter Seventy-five Talon Maverick (Two Days Later) The morning sun broke through the thick curtains of my chamber, casting a golden hue across the room that felt… different. Lighter. Warmer. Above all, it felt peaceful. For the first time in a long time, I woke up feeling whole, complete. Not from a victory in battle, not from a political win, not setting those lousy elders in their place—but because she was alive. Thalina had opened her eyes, smiled at me, called my name… and suddenly, the chaos of the world quieted. She was better now. And today, we’d meet the pack council and elders. I’d be showing them the woman I had chosen to rule over them and the kingdom beside me. They gave me one month ultimatum, and some of them thought I wouldn’t be able to pull this off, they thought by the end of the one month, I’d have nothing to show for it and they’ll strip me of my power. They didn’t know a thing. Left to me, I wouldn’t do this, but it was necessary. A tradition.

The Human

Chapter Seventy-six Thalina What the hell was going on? Did he just call me human? That word echoed in my head like a curse. Human. Human. No. That couldn’t be right. That wasn’t right. Not in any way. I blinked rapidly, my heart thudding so hard I could feel it in my throat. My hands started to tremble. I looked around the throne room, and suddenly I could feel every pair of eyes drilling into me, burning my skin. The elders. The guards. The maids. All of them staring at me like I’d just grown horns, like I was some demon they couldn’t wait to throw out. Confusion twisted in my chest, sharp and wild, stabbing at me painfully. How was this even possible? I grew up among werewolves. My parents—my parents—they were both wolves. My family weee the same. I remembered their shifts. I remembered the howls. So how… how could I be human? How could a human be born of werewolves? It didn’t make any sense to me. “She is a human! A taboo!” The old man screamed, his entire face

My Woman

Chapter Seventy-seven Talon Maverick How dare they? Who exactly did they think they were, speaking to me—and to Thalina—that way? Those old, good-for-nothing fools. How could they look at us with such contempt, and even worse—how could they make her cry? If I weren’t biting back every instinct to explode, if I wasn’t trying so hard not to ruin everything right here and now, I’d have ordered the guards to strip those arrogant elders naked and toss them out into the market square. Let the entire kingdom laugh at them, mock them, spit on their names—because that’s exactly what they deserved. If I had the strength left in me, I’d strip them of their titles and privileges. Not just that—those same fools would find themselves locked in the darkest dungeon, fed to the beasts that lurk beneath these walls. How dare they talk to me like that? Have they forgotten who I am? The power I hold over this entire kingdom? One word from me, and their miserable lives would end. I paced back and for

Luna - to - be

Chapter Seventy-eight Thalina My heart was still pounding hard against my chest as Vaelora gently led me out of the room, away from Talon’s touch and the burning intensity of everything that had just happened. I couldn’t stop looking over my shoulder, couldn’t stop clinging to the warmth of his words, the promise in his eyes. He heard everything. He saw my tears. And still—he chose me. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to laugh or cry harder. Vaelora squeezed my hand as we moved through the winding halls of the castle, her pace graceful, her expression kind and warm. “You’re safe now,” she said softly, as if she could hear the storm of fear and confusion roaring in my chest, as if she could see the uncertainty written boldly on my face. “You don’t have to be afraid here. We all here for you.” She smiled, a reassuring smile. But that was the problem—I was afraid. Terrified. I feared the consequences of this union. The words of the elders and the soothsayer wouldn’t stop ringing loud in my

The Mating Ceremony 1

Chapter Seventy-nine Talon Maverick They fastened the last clasp on my ceremonial tunic, a dark obsidian laced with silver embroidery, a garment only worn once in a lifetime. Sometimes that might change, it could be worn more than once, but that was for Alphas who wanted more than one Luna, but for me, this would be the last time. I was only going to wear it for this moment. For the mating bond that would bind my soul to hers. Thalina. It was either her or no one else. She was mine, she had been mine even before now, this was just a formality, a way to show everyone here that she belongs to me. Thalina. She was going to be my Luna today. Her name echoed in my chest like thunder—loud, unstoppable—striking down every last defense I’d once built around my heart. Every barrier I had carefully erected to shield myself from love crumbled. I used to believe love was weakness. That it was for the helpless, for the fragile, for those who didn’t carry the weight of kingdoms on their sh

The Mating Ceremony 2

Chapter Eighty Thalina I knew this was a bad idea. Bringing this man here—my father—was a terrible decision I might end up regretting. He wasn’t the type to sit back quietly. He had his plans, always did, and he was going to carry them out no matter what. He wasn’t to be trusted. Not now. Not ever. But I felt cornered. I couldn’t stop it without revealing the real reason I didn’t want him here. And I had already said it—if I was going to tell Talon the truth, about why I came to this school in the first place, I wanted to be the one to tell him. Not let him find out on his own. And definitely not like this. Not with my father making another attempt to hurt him. And now Talon wanted to share a drink with him? It looked noble. Heartwarming, even—to everyone else. But not to me. I knew who my father was. I knew the kind of darkness that lived inside him, the evil that simmered just beneath the surface of that wide, charming grin. A man like him—so consumed by hunger for power that he
