All Chapters of The White Wolf Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

A sunset saturated in hues of amber and shadow illuminated the ceremonial grounds. Selene stood inside the montane stone altar, with her grandmother's gown flowing around her like liquid moonlight. She stood with the gathered pack that formed a crescent behind her, their hums coolly falling off into the dusk."Something is wrong." Lila had muttered almost inaudibly. "Marina's father - he's been smiling at Caden like... like he's-"Selene twisted her fingers into her dress. She never told Lila about the contract she found hidden in the archives just an hour ago; a yellowed document bearing both the family seals of Caden and Marina. The ink was fresh."Breathe," her mother squeezed her hand. "There is no need for you to do this if-""Yes, I have to." Selene raised her chin. "I have to hear it from him."The ceremonial drums began. She could feel the rhythm of each beat reverberating in sync with her pounding heart. A very handsome Caden came towards her in all his ceremonial blacks. The

"Where exactly are we going?" Selene limped between Rowan and Agnes, trying to keep pace despite her throbbing ankle."My pack." Rowan scanned the trees ahead, muscles tense. "Well, one of our observation posts. We monitor the territories, keep tabs on rouge activity.""You have a pack?" She stumbled, and his hand shot out to steady her. "But I thought-""That I was just some random wolf who likes rescuing damsels in ceremonial dresses?" His smirk didn't reach his eyes. "This cabin is one of our outposts. We watch, we listen, we stay hidden."‘Hidden.’Selene froze. The whisper had come from right beside her ear, but when she turned, there was nothing but empty air."Did you say something?"Rowan frowned. "No. We need to keep moving. Those rogues-"‘Run, little wolf.’"There!" She spun around. "That voice. You didn't hear it?"Agnes and Rowan exchanged looks. "What voice, child?"‘They cannot hear us. They cannot see.’The whisper seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere, riding the

The Hunters were gone, but their shadow remained like a curse. The air still crackled where they had stood, the press of their words against Selene’s lungs like a stone."The hunt has begun."Selene held her breath, fists balled at her sides."You okay?" Rowan’s voice was soft, but laced with tension.Was she okay? No. She wasn’t. Inside of her, everything was pulling apart, fraying at the edges of who she used to be. The voices in her head were getting bolder, louder Her skin was still tingling from the power she had unleashed. And, most terrible of all, she had sensed it.The acknowledgment in the Hunters’ eyes.They had known what she was before she did.And that terrified her.She swallowed hard and shook her head. “No, I’m not okay. None of this is okay.” She faced Agnes, who remained silent, her face inscrutable. “You kn

The silence in the Alpha's hall was pregnant with unspoken words, charged with the weight of a storm ready to explode. Selene could feel her own heartbeat drumming in her ears, but she would not let it show. Caden faced her, knuckles screaming around the throne’s armrests, body tightly coiled like a predator biding its time before crush and kill.She didn’t flinch. She didn’t back down.“You shouldn’t have come back,” Caden said again, in a deeper voice, measured. But there was something behind what he had said, something dark and unreadable.Selene scoffed. “What, scared of a little unfinished business?” She took one slow step forward, and she saw it — hesitation. He may have attempted to disguise it, but she was too familiar with him. Her return rattled him about something.Rowan, who was standing next to her, crossed his arms. “Not the heat welcome I was expecting. But hey, I guess since you tried to have her executed, we should’ve lowered the bar.”

The fire crackled in the ruined temple’s center, casting flickering shadows against the broken stone walls. Selene sat motionless, her fingers digging into the dirt, her breath shallow as she processed the vision the Blood Seer had forced upon her. Her heart still pounded, the images replaying in her mind like a curse.Caden had known. He had always known."You’re quiet," Rowan said, his voice breaking the silence. He stood a few feet away, arms crossed, his silver eyes reflecting the firelight. "That’s not like you."Selene exhaled sharply. "I’m thinking."Agnes stirred beside her. "No. You’re brooding."Selene shot the older woman a glare, but there was no real heat behind it. "Wouldn’t you? If you found out your mate—the one person you trusted most—had been planning to kill you before you even knew why?"Rowan’s expression darkened. "Caden was a coward."Selene let out a bitter laugh. "A coward who was three steps ahead of me this whole time."She looked back at the Seer, who had b
