The Injured

Chapter 11:The Injured(Ignas' POV)Morning light, flecked and gold, worked its way through the trees but brought little serenity in its wake. My hands moved automatically, crushing herbs into a fine paste, yet my mind was far from the healer's camp; it was with him.Leo.Even the sound of his name could twist my stomach, though I wasn't sure if it was anger or something altogether different. My lips still tingled, faintly, from the kiss we'd shared or rather, the kiss he'd stolen.That my body had betrayed me, hadn't pulled away immediately, had let me feel… something, was something I truly hated."Darn it," I growled under my breath, crushing the herbs harder than necessary."Careful," a voice said behind me. "You'll grind that into dust if you're not careful."I turned to find Tessa, one of the other healers, standing with an impish grin on her face.She was younger than me, barely eighteen, but sharp-tongued and quick-witted, which placed her years ahead. She was also one of the few p

His Jealousy

Chapter 12: His Jealousy 1(Ignas' POV)The growling grew louder, each rumble quickening my heartbeat. I looked up at the shadows, my feet taking slow steps back towards the nearest tree, all of my instincts screaming to run."Who's there?" I called out again, my voice firmer than I felt.For a moment, there was nothing but silence. Then, from the darkness, a low chuckle rose, sending a ripple down my spine."Easy, healer," a low voice said, preceded by the creaking of footsteps.A figure strode forward into the moonlight, and in an instant, I placed the face-the soldier I had treated a few days past. His smirk was wide, his keen eyes glinting with mischief, as he sauntered toward me with a lazy stride."You should've seen your face," he said, still laughing casually, as if with a tree beside them. "I didn't think you'd be scared that easily."I watched him, my chest still rising up and down from the adrenaline pumping in my veins. "Y-you were growling?" I asked again, this time tryin

Chapter 13: Torn Between Two wolves

(Ignas' POV)I should have known the moment the wind changed, the moment the shadows shifted unnaturally around me—that I wasn’t alone.Just as the warmth of Corin’s laughter faded into the trees and a ghost of peace had begun to settle over my shoulders for the first time in days, a voice came from the darkness.Low. Sharp. Dangerous."Ignas."My breath hitched. That voice. There was no mistaking it.I turned slowly, heart hammering in my chest. I already knew who it was, even before he stepped fully into view.Alpha Leo.He moved like a predator—a shadow of power and fury wrapped in a cloak of leather and restrained violence. His dark eyes locked onto mine like they had every right to, and just that look alone unraveled the fleeting calm I had worked so hard to build.His scent hit me then—pine, leather, and something darker, something only he could wear like armor. My legs tensed. I wasn’t sure if I was preparing to run or stand my ground."Was it fun?" he asked. His voice was smoo

Chapter 14:The Alpha’s Spy

(Ignas' POV)I stood still in the clearing, barely breathing as Commander Alden stepped fully into view, moonlight cutting a silver line across his face. His eyes were calm—too calm. His expression unreadable.But I could feel the weight behind his words."Strange company for a healer," he repeated, more softly this time.The clearing felt smaller suddenly. Tighter. I forced myself not to shift nervously."It’s not what it looked like," I said quickly. "He found me—I didn’t call for him. I asked him to leave. He left."Alden’s lips pressed into a thin, unimpressed line. He took another step closer, boots crunching the undergrowth. His scent was sharp and earthy, not overwhelming like Leo’s, but grounded—firm. A soldier’s scent."And how often does the Alpha of the enemy pack wander into your little hiding spot at night?" he asked coolly. "Just to ‘talk’?"I swallowed hard. I hated the insinuation in his tone. But worse, I hated how unsure I sounded when I responded."I don’t know," I

Chapter 15: Shadows in the Pack

(Leo’s POV)I didn’t sleep.Instead, I sat alone by the firepit outside my tent, the flames reduced to embers, casting flickering light on the edges of my thoughts. The smoke curled lazily into the night, not unlike the storm brewing in my chest.Ignas.She was the beginning and end of every thought now. That look in her eyes when she pushed me away, the weight in her voice as she told me she wasn’t enough. It haunted me. Angered me. Made me want to burn the world until she saw herself the way I did.And now I couldn’t stop thinking—what was it that kept her from accepting the bond? Fear? Shame? Loyalty to a pack that treated her like garbage?Or something else?The way she’d looked at that soldier… Corin. Laughing with him. Smiling in a way she hadn’t yet smiled with me.Jealousy.It scorched through me like wildfire. Not because she shouldn’t talk to other men. But because I wanted to be the one who made her laugh like that. I wanted to be the one she trusted enough to let her walls

Chapter 16: Unspoken Truths

(Ignas’ POV)I didn’t sleep that night.Again.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Leo’s face—torn between longing and restraint, desire and frustration. His words echoed in my head like a haunting rhythm:"Whether you want me or not."That was the problem.I didn’t know what I wanted.I should’ve told him to stay away for good. Should’ve set fire to the bond that tied us together. But instead, I’d just stared at him like a fool while my heart battled itself in silence.I was angry.At him.At myself.At the Moon Goddess for giving me something so complicated when all I’d ever wanted was peace.As the pale light of dawn filtered through the trees, I sat outside the healer’s tent, knees pulled to my chest, chin resting on them. Tessa had already left to prepare salves, but I needed a moment alone. My mind buzzed with thoughts, too loud, too sharp."You look like you’ve seen a ghost."I didn’t turn. I didn’t need to. Corin’s voice was unmistakable—playful, steady, grounding in a way that

Chapter 17: A Dangerous Offer

A Dangerous Offer(Ignas’ POV)The morning sun was too bright.It hit my face with an arrogant cheerfulness that felt like mockery. I blinked up at the sky, confused at first by the warmth pressed against my back, the strength of arms around me, and the steady rhythm of a heartbeat that wasn’t mine.And then I remembered.Leo.I froze.His arms were still around me, his head bowed slightly as if he’d nodded off while holding me. The closeness we’d shared last night hadn't vanished with the dark. It was real, and I had let it happen.Gently, I started to pull away, but he stirred and tightened his grip. “Stay,” he murmured, his voice still heavy with sleep.“Leo,” I whispered, not turning to face him, “people will see.”“I don’t care.”But I did.Not because I was ashamed—but because I wasn’t ready. I didn’t know what this was yet, and letting the world know would mean claiming it. I wasn’t ready to claim something that still felt like it could fall apart any second.“I have duties,” I

Chapter 18: The Trap Beneath The Moonlight

The Trap Beneath the Moonlight(Leo’s POV)I had killed before.I had crushed skulls, broken ribs, sliced throats. I had made Alpha heirs beg for mercy. I’d done things I didn’t speak of—not even to Liam—because that was the price of power. Of being feared.But nothing—nothing—had ever made me as murderous as hearing Alden threatened her.Ignas.My mate.The one I was willing to burn down kingdoms for.And the bastard wanted to make her “disappear” as if she were just some pawn in his damned game of politics?I could barely control the trembling in my hands as I paced my war tent. The fury inside me was raw, alive. My wolf roared in my head, demanding we end this now, tear Alden limb from limb, show the entire damn pack what happens when you touch what’s mine.But Ignas…Her voice still echoed in my ears. “You can’t. Not yet. If you strike now, you prove his point.”She was right.The pack was watching—mine and hers. The tension between our sides had thinned like stretched skin. One w

Chapter 19:The Luna’s warning

The Luna’s Warning(Ignas’ POV)I had thought the battle was over.The war between the packs. The threat on my life. The looming tension between Leo and Alden. All of it came crashing down in one calculated strike—Leo’s strike.And yet, despite the cheers that rose after Alden’s disgraceful fall, despite the newfound peace carved from spilled blood and clever strategy, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something darker lingered beneath the surface.Not everyone celebrated this union.Not everyone welcomed a wolfless healer standing beside their Alpha.And one of them was waiting for me now.It was late when I left the medic tent. Tessa had gone to bed early, and I’d stayed behind, sorting herbs and folding bandages, trying to calm the nerves that hadn’t settled since the ambush.I stepped out into the night air, intending to head straight to my quarters.But a figure blocked my path.Tall. Regal. Wrapped in a velvet-blue cloak that shimmered like the midnight sky.Her name was Calista

Chapter 20: The Suppressed Truth

The Suppressed Truth(Ignas’ POV)Something was different about Leo when he came to me.The moment he stepped into the healer’s tent, I felt it. His eyes weren’t just sharp—they were conflicted, haunted. He’d always carried shadows beneath that fierce exterior, but this… this was different.He was hiding something.“Walk with me,” he said quietly.I didn’t ask questions. Just nodded, wiped my hands, and followed him out into the evening air.We walked in silence, side by side, the wind brushing our cloaks like whispers trying to speak what we wouldn’t say aloud. The camp was unusually still for a night before battle. Too quiet.When we reached the forest line, he stopped.I turned to him. “What’s going on?”He didn’t meet my eyes.Instead, Leo reached into his coat and pulled out something wrapped in aged leather. He handed it to me.A document.I stared at it. My name was written at the top.“I found this,” he said. “In a hidden vault my mother left behind.”I unfolded it slowly. My
