All Chapters of Alpha's Eclipse: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

CAIUSTwo days.That was all the time we had before meeting Elder Aldric.The oldest and most powerful of the Elders.And the only one who could answer the questions that had been plaguing me ever since I met Lira.She should have had her wolf by now.But she didn’t.And yet—she was stronger than any unshifted wolf I had ever seen.I knew there was something about her.Something more.And soon, we would find out what.The thought unsettled me, a deep, gnawing sensation in my gut. I was not a man prone to fear, but uncertainty had a way of burrowing deep, needling at the edges of my resolve. And Lira—Lira was the one thing I couldn’t afford to be uncertain about.I watched her now, standing by the balcony of my office, staring at the moonlit snow that blanketed the mountains. The cold wind ruffled her dark hair, strands dancing across her face, but she didn’t seem to notice. There was something different about her since our return from the hot springs. A softness in the way she held her

CAIUSThe air was cold as we prepared for departure. A biting wind swept through Grimhowl, carrying the scent of pine and snow. The sun had yet to rise, leaving the world in a hushed twilight, but my pack was already awake, gathered in the courtyard to see us off.Lira stood by my side, bundled in a thick cloak lined with fur, her golden eyes flickering with uncertainty. Her breath curled in the crisp air as she clutched the edges of her cloak tighter around herself. The tension in her posture was impossible to miss. She had been quiet since last night, lost in thought, and I knew the weight of what lay ahead was pressing down on her.I reached for her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. “We’ll be there by nightfall,” I murmured, keeping my voice low so only she could hear. She nodded, but I could feel the tension in her grip. She was trying to be strong, but the uncertainty of what awaited us at Elder Aldric’s dwelling gnawed at both of us. His invitation had raised more questio

TOBIASI still remembered the day we met her.The witch.Her name was Morgana Blackthorne, and she was unlike any other.Morgana Blackthorne was feared by many, but she was no monster. No twisted, evil creature waiting to cause harm. There were whispers about her, of course—talk of curses, dark spells, and prices too steep to pay. Some said she could call upon shadows themselves, that she could see the future in the embers of a dying fire. Others claimed she was immortal, an ancient being who had walked the earth long before the first packs had even formed.But when she stepped into our lives, she did not bring death or destruction. Instead, she offered something else entirely.I had been young then, but I still remembered the way she moved—like the wind, silent and certain. Her cloak was black as night, blending with the darkness that surrounded her. Her eyes, a piercing silver, seemed to glow even without the presence of the moon. She was tall and graceful, with an air of mystery th

ELDER ALDRIC"When we first heard of your birth, Lira, we were intrigued," Elder Aldric said, his voice steady but laced with a gravity that caused my pulse to quicken. He looked at me, his ancient eyes sharp with wisdom, but there was a weariness to him that hadn’t been there before.I leaned forward, trying to read the meaning behind his words. “Intrigued?”Aldric nodded, his silver beard swaying slightly as he adjusted his position in the chair. His features were worn with age, but his gaze remained unyielding, almost piercing. “A powerful pure-breed female Alpha-born—that alone was enough to catch our attention. But when we learned you were born under a rare lunar eclipse, that’s when we realized…”He paused, his eyes growing distant, and I could sense the weight of a memory tugging at him, something he was reluctant to bring fully into the light.“Realized what?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, the anticipation thick in my chest.Aldric’s face darkened, and for the firs

LIRAThe fire crackled softly in the dimly lit chamber, casting long shadows on the stone walls. The warm orange glow of the flames was the only light in the otherwise dark room, flickering and dancing across the ancient stone. The weight of Elder Aldric’s words hung in the air like a dense fog, making it hard to breathe, let alone think.Caius sat beside me, our shoulders brushing lightly, though his presence felt more like a lifeline than mere proximity. His warmth was the only thing that seemed to ground me in that moment. My father stood just a few feet away, his posture rigid as ever, arms crossed tightly across his chest, eyes narrowed in contemplation. The silence between us stretched, thick and suffocating."I remember now," Elder Aldric murmured, his voice distant, as if he were trying to sift through the mists of time to unearth forgotten knowledge. His eyes glazed over, and I could see his mind working, digging deep into ancient memories. "The prophecy does not speak of one
