Chapter 81

Duncan’s POVSomething had changed.I noticed it during the last few days. It was hard to miss. Stephanie and Antonio were speaking more than usual. I’d walk into a room, and they’d both go quiet. Sometimes their talks looked serious. Sometimes they looked too casual. Either way, I didn’t like it.I didn’t say anything at first. I watched. I listened. I let them think I wasn’t paying attention. But today, I couldn’t hold back.I found Antonio in the hallway, near the council room. He was reading a paper, leaning against the wall like he had nothing to worry about. When he saw me coming, he lowered the paper slowly, like he had all the time in the world.“Alpha,” he said with a small nod.I stopped in front of him and kept my voice steady. “You’ve been talking to Stephanie a lot lately.”He raised an eyebrow, but his face stayed calm. “She’s your wife. It would be strange if I wasn’t polite to her.”“I didn’t say you were being polite,” I replied. “I said you’ve been talking.”He shrug

Chapter 82

Nathaniel’s POVI stood in front of the wooden dresser, pulling out the clothes I would need. A dark shirt, plain trousers, my old boots. I placed them one by one on the bed, trying to stay focused. My sword was already cleaned and resting against the wall. My travel bag was half full. I had packed it the night before, but I wasn’t done.I had waited long enough.Alexander was still out there and his silence had started to unsettle me. He was too quiet.I didn’t trust the silence.Behind me, I could hear Phoebe’s slow breathing. She was sitting in the chair near the window. She hadn’t spoken much since I started packing again. She just watched. I could feel her eyes on me as I folded another shirt and placed it in the bag.“You’re really going,” she said at last.I didn’t turn to look at her. “Yes.”She stood up slowly. I heard her footsteps before I saw her. She came to stand beside the bed, just watching me as I pulled the laces tight on the pack.“You don’t even know where he is,”

Chapter 83

Duncan’s POVI sat at my desk, my fingers tapping slowly on the wooden surface. The room was quiet except for the soft ticking of the old clock on the wall. I had been staring at the same report for ten minutes, but the words no longer made sense to me. My thoughts were somewhere else.A knock came at the door. It wasn’t loud, but it was firm.“Come in,” I said.One of my warriors stepped inside. He bowed quickly and held out a folded piece of paper.“This just came in, Alpha. A messenger brought it. He said it’s from Alexander of the Moonhowl Pack.”I frowned. “Alexander?”“Yes, Alpha. He asked that you read it yourself. He didn’t say anything else.”I stood up and took the message from his hand. I waited until the warrior left the room before opening it.The paper was short. Neat handwriting. Alexander had written that he wanted to meet with me, that there were serious matters to talk about. He asked if he could come to the Glassfur Pack.I read it twice, then again. I sat down slow

Chapter 84

Duncan’s POVAlexander was coming to the Glassfur pack. Since I started to have the altercations with his pack over Phoebe, there wasn't a time I hadn't thought of doing nasty things to one of them to send a message to Nathaniel. But from what I had learned, it was pointless to try to use him to get to Nathaniel. He didn't care about the brother, and he was a rebel. Alexander was simply chasing his own interests while his brother chased his own interests. But outright rebellion was what I had not seen coming. How could Phoebe be in the midst of such chaos? How could she claim to be happy in a pack where the brothers were at war and probably didn't give a shit about whatever was happening with her?Granted, she was fierce and could help herself through the chaos, but wasn't there more peace here for her?Here, she would be in the councils and discuss how to run the pack with me. She would have a voice here and her opinions would be heard. What if she wasn't even given that opportuni

Chapter 85

Duncan's POV I didn't get a response from Alexander when the tension in the room started to grow even worse. I looked around and saw that Antonio had a bewildered expression on his face. Alexander simply looked unmoved by what I had said. Stephanie had her mouth hanging open.But before I could speak, Stephanie rose from her seat, her hands pressed flat against the table.“You can’t be serious,” she snapped, her voice sharp. “You want to join hands with this man just to take back a woman? Of all the women, Phoebe? The same Phoebe?”I didn’t look at her. “Sit down, Stephanie,” I commanded. My voice carried an authority that I usually exercised when I spoke to her and she wasn't complying.“No,” she said quickly. “This is madness. You’ve lost focus. You don’t want to lead, you want revenge. You want a woman who clearly wants nothing to do with you. A woman who's been taken by another man and is now working for and with him. Heck. I even learned they're mates!”Antonio stood up and rais

Chapter 86

Nathaniel’s POVThe sun had already started going down when we finally reached the gates of the Star-Rain Pack. The air was cool, and the sky was streaked with orange and pale gold. I had sent word ahead that I would be arriving, but I didn’t expect the gates to be wide open and a small group waiting right at the entrance.Alpha Winston stood in the center. His back was straight, and his eyes were sharp, even though he looked to be around my father’s age. His hair was more white than gray, and his beard was trimmed neatly. Beside him stood a few of his elders and warriors, all dressed in formal clothing. They made a line behind their alpha, their heads slightly bowed as we approached.I brought my horse to a stop and dismounted. Winston stepped forward and gave me a firm handshake, both his hands gripping mine.“Alpha Nathaniel,” he said with a smile, “your visit honors us more than you know.”“Thank you,” I replied, keeping my voice steady. “It means a lot to be received so openly.”

Chapter 87

Nathaniel's POVThe dining hall was quiet when I entered. The walls were made of strong stone, and golden lamps hung in neat lines along both sides. Their light was soft and steady. A long table stretched through the center of the room. Only a few seats were filled. Alpha Winston stood up when he saw me. His smile was wide, and he opened his arms as if greeting an old friend."Alpha Nathaniel," he said. "You honor us. Please, sit beside me."I gave him a polite nod. "Thank you for the invitation."He gestured to the seat on his right, and I moved to take it. To his left sat his beta, Daniel. Daniel was tall and thin, with short black hair and a calm face. He nodded at me, and I returned the greeting. A little further down was an elder, his white beard reaching the top of his chest. He sat straight and held a cup with both hands.Winston looked toward the young woman standing beside him. Her hair was a rich brown color, pulled into a clean twist behind her head. She wore a gold dress t

Chapter 88

Nathaniel's POVMy mind would not stop going back to Phoebe back in our pack. I was here, far away from the Moonhowl pack where I could use a car or even use a phone. These parts were interior and it left me without speaking with my Luna. It was unsettling. I didn't like the order of things. “I trust her to be able to hold the pack and make sure everything runs smoothly, but I have to be able to communicate with her,” I told myself severally. Sean, my wolf, was on the same page with me.“She is handling the pack well, they don't see her as the Alpha, but they know better than to openly rebel against the Luna. Besides, she is not giving them a reason to.” I sighed and leaned back into the chair I was sitting on. There was a lot to do in such a small time and I didn't send anyone to have things done this time. It was late into the night when I finally finished reviewing my notes. I sat at the small desk in the guest room Alpha Winston had given me. The lamp beside me cast a soft ligh

Chapter 89

Nathaniel's POVThe first light of dawn filtered through the curtains as I stirred awake. The events of the previous night lingered in my mind, urging me to seek clarity. Dressing swiftly in a simple tunic and trousers, I decided a walk through the Star-Rain Pack's grounds might provide the solitude I needed.Stepping outside, the crisp morning air greeted me, carrying with it the subtle scents of dew-laden grass and distant pine. The compound was beginning to stir; a few warriors were already engaged in training exercises. Their focused movements and disciplined stances spoke of dedication. As I passed by, I offered them a respectful nod, which they returned without breaking rhythm.Continuing my stroll, I encountered several servants attending to their morning duties. One young woman was meticulously sweeping the pathway, her brow furrowed in concentration. As I approached, she paused and offered a polite bow. "Good morning, Alpha Nathaniel," she greeted softly."Good morning," I re

Chapter 90

Nathaniel's POVThe morning air was crisp as I led our small group away from Star-Rain territory. The sun had just begun its ascent, casting a soft glow over the landscape. The rhythmic clatter of hooves against the dirt path was the only sound accompanying us. My guards rode in disciplined silence behind me, their presence a constant reminder of the responsibilities I bore. I longed for Phoebe's presence even as I moved with my company.As the familiar surroundings of Star-Rain faded into the distance, my thoughts turned inward. I found myself replaying the events of the previous evening, dissecting every word and gesture from Alpha Winston. His warm welcome, the carefully prepared dinner, and the subsequent conversation all seemed straightforward on the surface. Yet, I couldn't shake the feeling that there were undercurrents I hadn't fully grasped.Winston's desire for closer ties with Moonhowl was evident. He spoke of alliances and mutual benefits, his words laced with a sincerity
