★𝕺𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖎𝖆The primal roar tore from my throat, a sound raw and ancient, born from a terror so profound it ignited something deep within me. It wasn't a conscious act, but an involuntary surge of desperate power. The black-furred wolves and the cloaked figures paused, their glowing green eyes flickering with something akin to surprise, a momentary hesitation in their brutal charge.It was all I had. I stood frozen, my hands instinctively raised as if to ward them off, and felt a strange current ripple through the air, vibrating outward from my body. The air crackled around me, thick and heavy, and for a split second, the nearest invading wolf seemed to be pushed back, stumbling slightly, its snarl turning into a confused whine.But the pause was fleeting. The largest of the invaders, a monstrous black wolf with eyes burning like embers, regained its footing and lunged. Time seemed to slow. I saw its snarling jaws, its razor claws extending. My heart hammered against my ribs, a f

★𝕺𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖎𝖆The cold stone floor bit into my knees, but I barely felt it. All sensation was swallowed by the roaring void in my chest. "Not my sister. My mate. The lost Alpha of Moonstone. Elias's quiet "Yes, child, it is true" was the final shard, piercing through the last remnants of my carefully constructed reality."Why?" The word was a raw, broken whisper, thick with tears I couldn't stop. "Why did you lie? Why did they lie?" My gaze accused Elias, then darted to the door, picturing Luna Freya, her gentle smile, her loving touches all tainted by this monstrous deception. The fury, a hot, liquid fire, began to churn in my gut. I slammed my fist against the floor, a desperate act of frustration, and a low thrum of energy vibrated through the stone, making the tapestries on the wall tremble.Elias knelt before me, his ancient face filled with a profound sorrow that seemed to carry the weight of centuries. "It was not a lie of malice, Olivia, but of desperate protection. A secr

★𝕺𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖎𝖆The sight of Ronan, battered and bleeding, leaning against the doorframe, usually would have sent a pang of concern hrough me. But now, it was overshadowed by a tidal wave of betrayal that crashed over me. He was not my brother. He was him. The Alpha. My mate. The one who had known this monstrous lie all along.My throat burned. "You," I rasped, the word laced with venom, a foreign bitterness that shocked even myself. "You knew. All this time. You knew."His dark eyes, usually so commanding, flickered with raw pain from his wound, yes, but also from my accusation. "Olivia.." he began, his voice hoarse, taking a step towards me.I recoiled, scrambling backward on my knees until my back hit Elias’s legs. "Don't touch me!" The demand ripped from my lips, a guttural snarl that surprised us both. The mate bond, a deep, throbbing hum between us, suddenly delivered a sharp, physical jolt to Ronan's chest, a painful echo of my rejection. He stumbled, a gasp tearing from his l

★𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖓Carrying Olivia to her chambers, the mate bond hummed in my veins, a desperate, frantic song of possession and comfort. Yet the scent of her, the one that should have been a balm to my soul, was still tainted with the sharp tang of betrayal and fear. She had crumpled in my arms, exhausted by the emotional onslaught, her mind reeling from a truth no one should have to bear, let alone in such a brutal fashion. My heart ached for her, for the innocence I had just shattered by my family's hand.I laid her gently on her bed, pulling a thick fur blanket over her. Her face, tear-streaked and pale, was still etched with distress. I brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead, my fingers tingling from the residue of her involuntary healing power. It was magnificent. The Alpha of Moonstone, a healer. It was a power that could change everything. But first, she had to accept it. And she had to accept me.Leaving her side was the hardest thing I'd ever done. My Alpha instincts s

★𝕺𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖎𝖆The silence after Freya left felt heavier than any scream. It was a vacuum, a suffocating absence that only made the rage inside me swell. The truth of her words, the impossible choice, the lie born from both ambition and love didn't bring clarity, it only brought a new, sharper kind of fury. I paced the confines of the room, my body humming with a dangerous, restless energy. They hadn't wanted to lie? That didn't erase the two decades I spent living a false life, a gilded cage built on the grave of my parents.I walked to the window, the morning light doing little to lift the gloom in my soul. Below, the palace grounds bore the fresh scars of the night’s battle. Scorched earth, splintered trees, and the hurried movements of healers underscored the reality that this wasn't a nightmare. This was my life now. A life where I was a target, a 'lost Alpha' with powers I couldn't control.My hands still tingled from healing Ronan's wound. The memory of the silvery light and
