All Chapters of Claimed by the Midnight Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter TwoThe note burned in Aria’s palm.Zane is here.Her chest tightened. The scent of betrayal from years ago stirred deep in her memory. Cold eyes. His voice when he’d said, “You’re not enough.”Aria had sworn she’d never feel that sting again. But here it was sharp, fresh, and right outside her door.She looked out the window, but the forest was quiet now. No silver wolf. No more signs.Still, her wolf was restless.We’re being watched.Aria didn’t sleep.She spent the night pacing her chamber, her mind spinning with questions.What was Zane doing in Kael’s territory? Why send her a warning? Was he trying to save her or control her again?Morning came in silence.And with it, a summons.“Come.”Kael’s voice was firm when she entered the war hall. He stood before a large table carved from black stone. Maps spread across it territory lines, attack routes, pack borders. His beta stood nearby. Broad-shouldered. Silent. Scar down his jaw.Kael didn’t look at her as she entered.“Yo

Chapter FourThe night was thick with fog, the air damp and still, as if the earth itself was holding its breath.Aria stood at the northern ridge, her senses heightened, eyes locked on the distant forest that marked the edge of their territory. Every hair on her body was on edge. Her wolf paced restlessly beneath her skin, pushing against the barrier of her human form.She glanced over at Kael, who stood beside her, silent, his arms crossed. His usual calm presence was tinged with something darker tonight his jaw clenched, his gaze fixed ahead, unblinking.“They’re gathering,” Lyra said from behind them, her voice low and laced with tension. “Just beyond the trees.”“Zane?” Aria asked, her heart already pounding. She knew the answer before it left her lips.Lyra nodded. “And the witch.”Aria felt a cold shiver crawl up her spine. “What kind of witch?”Lyra took a slow breath. “A cursed one. Banished by her own kind. Dark magic. Twisted soul.”Kael growled low in his throat, the sound

Chapter 6The moonlight sliced through the clouds like a silver blade, casting an eerie glow over the infirmary.Aria sat on the edge of the bed, arms wrapped around her knees. Her body still trembled from the curse’s aftermath, but it was the silence that hurt the most.Kael hadn’t come back.Her wolf paced beneath her skin, anxious, restless, snarling with impatience."Where is he?" she whispered to the empty room.The door creaked open. Lyra stepped in, face pale and tight.“He’s in the war room,” she said softly. “He’s preparing.”Aria looked up slowly. “Preparing for what?”Lyra sat beside her, her voice low. “What’s next?”Aria’s lip curled bitterly. “What’s next? I almost died again, Lyra. That witch she nearly ripped me apart.”“She didn’t just try to kill you, Aria,” Lyra said, voice strained. “She exposed you.”Aria blinked. “Exposed?”Lyra’s gaze met hers. “She didn’t break your bond. She revealed it.”A chill slid down Aria’s spine. “What are you saying?”“You’re not just

Chapter 8Aria’s breath came in short bursts as she sprinted through the darkened forest, the wind biting at her fur. The moon had dipped behind heavy clouds, leaving shadows thick like ink. Her paws barely touched the ground, but she felt the tremble of something… old. Ancient. Waiting.Behind her, Kael ran in sync, his black wolf massive and silent, a shadow of vengeance at her side. Neither of them spoke. They didn’t need to. Their bond pulsed between them wild, fierce, and growing stronger.They were hunting.But not just any enemy.Tonight, they hunted truth.Lyra had confessed it all.The Sealed Alpha had once ruled the North. His name? Lost in war and blood. But one fact remained he had been marked too. And the power Aria carried once belonged to him.“Aria,” Kael’s voice cut through her mind. “Are you sure about this?”She didn’t slow down.“I have to be. If he wants what’s mine, I’ll give him war.”The Frostwood Mountains rose ahead, peaks jagged like broken fangs. Snow clung

Chapter 10The forest was too quiet.Aria’s paws moved swiftly through the wet grass, her silver wolf blending into the mist. Beside her, Kael ran, his black fur slick with dew. Behind them, warriors followed in tight formation.They were hunting.Not prey. Not rogues.A message.Kael’s voice rang through the pack link. "The Council sent scouts last night. One of them left behind a mark. This is not a random attack. They're watching her."Aria’s heart pounded. She could feel the pull in her blood, like someone had touched her mark with a cold finger.They reached the riverbed where the scent ended.Kael shifted first, tall and tense. His golden eyes scanned the area. “This was a warning.”Aria shifted and stood beside him, her body bare but unbothered. Warriors shielded them with cloaks.“Why now?” she asked.Kael turned slowly. “Because they know the Marked Luna didn’t die in the flames. They know you survived.”A chill crept down her spine. “Then what happens next?”Kael’s jaw tight
