Lily sat at the edge of the balcony that watches the Nightshade valley, her arms wrapped around herself as the wind pulled her hair. It was past midnight, but sleep refused to come. Not after what had unfolded.Her conversation with Alistair had ended hours ago, but his words still haunted her."You’re nothing but a pawn in this game."She wanted to scream that she was more than that. She wanted to believe it. But in the quiet of the night, her doubts slid in like shadows. What if he was right? What if this was all a cruel twist of fate, her falling for Callum, the very son of the man who now wanted her destroyed?The door creaked open behind her, and she knew it was him.Callum.She didn’t have to turn to recognize his presence, the gentle vibration of their bond pulsed inside her like a second heartbeat. A grounding force amidst her spiraling thoughts.“I figured you’d be out here,” he said, his voice a warm contrast to the cool night air.Lily didn’t respond immediately. Her eyes w

Two nights later, the moon was full, fat and golden, like a cursed omen hanging above them. The air was thick with anticipation as Callum, Lily, and a small entourage of warriors arrived at the ancient Stone Circle, the neutral ground chosen for the peace summit.The place was eerie. Giant moss-covered stones towered over them, some cracked from age, others inscribed with the sacred runes of the Old Pack Law. It was here, centuries ago, that treaties were signed and wars ended...... or started.Lily kept close to Callum’s side. She was dressed in a flowing silver robe, a cloak of royalty draped over her shoulders, though she hardly felt regal. Her heart thumped like a war drum in her chest, her wolf, Dora, alert and pacing inside her mind.“This is a battlefield disguised as a table,” Dora growled. “And they dressed it in moonlight hoping no one noticed.”Callum’s expression was unreadable. His eyes, however, flickered constantly like an alpha scanning for danger.They reached the cen

The palace was quiet.Too quiet.Lily sat on the edge of the bath in her chambers, watching steam rise from the water like wisps of ghostly smoke. Her mind wasn’t in the room, it was replaying that moment in the woods again and again.The masked Alpha.His voice.His words.You don’t know who you are, Luna. But you will.A knock came at the door, snapping her out of it.“Come in,” she called.It was Avery.He stepped inside, eyes scanning her quickly, taking in the robe she wore, the faint cuts along her collarbone, and the weary look behind her eyes.“You okay?” he asked softly.“No,” Lily replied with raw honesty.Avery didn’t try to sugarcoat it.“I heard the healers say the fog wasn’t natural. Some sort of forgotten ancient magic. But the rogues weren’t acting rogue. Someone’s pulling strings.”Lily looked up. “He knew me, Avery. The masked Alpha.”Avery frowned. “What do you mean?”She stood, her robe fluttering as she walked to the window, staring out at the forest. “He looked i

The mood in the palace was a strange mix of festivity and tension. Preparations for the upcoming full moon ceremony were underway—an ancient ritual observed by the Bloodmoon Pack to honor the Moon Goddess and reaffirm their dominance over the lesser clans. Servants hurried about, stringing up silver-and-blue banners while the pack warriors polished their blades for the symbolic dance of unity.Lily stood at the edge of the grand hallway, watching the movement like a ghost on the sidelines. Her skin tingled, not from excitement, but from the lingering imprint of Callum’s lips, his touch, and the overwhelming moment they'd shared just days ago. She hadn’t seen him since he vanished into the night, leaving her panting, confused, and terrified beneath the trees.She wasn’t sure which scared her more—what nearly happened between them, or the fact that she had wanted it.“Luna?”Lily turned sharply at the sound of a voice. A young maid, barely older than fifteen, bowed deeply.“The King has

The room was silent........ Oppressively so.Lily sat curled in the corner, her mind reeling, her heartbeat loud in her ears. The echo of Callum’s betrayal played over and over, every word like a knife in her gut.“He’s destined to lead... My loyalties were never to the Blood moon…”She wanted to scream.But even more than that, she wanted answers.How long has he known? How deep did this conspiracy run? Was everything....... Every stolen glance, every brush of his lips against hers...... just a setup?“No,” Dora murmured weakly. “I don’t believe it. He was lying… but not to us.”Lily blinked. “What do you mean?”“I felt it… when he kissed us. When he touched us. His soul wasn’t betraying us. His heart was breaking.”Lily clutched her knees. Her wolf’s words gave her a strange sort of hope..... But it was fragile, hanging by a thread.A soft clink broke the silence.Her head jerked toward the door.Footsteps.But lighter than Victor’s.The lock clicked, and the door creaked open.Call
