chapter 21 For my mate

Xavier POV The storm had passed, but the weight inside me had not. For days we had scoured every corner of our lands, every shadowed glade, every ridge and hollow. We turned over rocks, broke into caves, followed every scent until the trails bled into nothing. Nothing. The pack was exhausted, men collapsing from the relentless hunt, women whispering in fear, pups crying into the night. And still no Larissa. The silence she left behind was more haunting than her presence ever was. At night when I closed my eyes, I heard her voice, soft and pleading. I saw the way she looked at me the last time we stood together in the council chamber, her eyes shattered like glass, her lips trembling with words she could not say. My chest burned every time the memory returned. She had been sentenced to exile, and I, fool that I was, had watched her be taken away. I had let her go. Selene had stayed close during these days, too close. She moved like a shadow in my halls, offering herself in quie

chapter 22 No Alpha coming

The cold bit into my bones, but it wasn’t the chill of the cave that unsettled me most. It was the silence. A silence broken only by the sound of dripping water somewhere in the darkness, and the faint scrape of boots against stone as the hunters paced in and out of sight.My wrists burned where silver chains dug into them. Wolfsbane had been smeared into the metal, its poison seeping into my blood until I could barely lift my head. My body felt like lead, but my mind–my mind was alive with fire and bitterness.They wanted me broken.They wanted me afraid.But I had already lived too long with fear to let it show now.“Well now, look at this, boys. Little Luna still breathin’. Guess wolves don’t die as easy as we were told.” He chuckled, the laugh breaking into a crack that echoed off the stone. The others snorted, their laughter spilling like broken glass.“Eat,” one of them sneered, pushing a half-burnt piece of bread against my lips. When I turned my face away, his boot nudged my r

chapter 23 Before the end.

Larissa POV Xavier. He came. My body jolted against the chains, my breath tearing through my lips as I stared at him like he was a mirage, a cruel trick my mind had spun to torment me in my final seconds. My heart didn’t know whether to leap or shatter. For so long, I had told myself he wouldn’t come, that he would never risk himself for me, that I meant nothing but shame and burden. And yet… here he stood. The hunters didn’t rush him immediately. Their silence was thick, crackling, as though even they hadn’t expected the Alpha of the Bloodfang pack to walk into their trap so willingly. Then it shattered. “Well, lookee here, boys,” the leader drawled, his voice oily with mockery. “Ain’t that somethin’. The Alpha hisself come crawlin’ in for his little Luna.” His laugh cracked through the cave, jagged and ugly, joined by the others. “Guess the stories ’bout wolves bein’ heartless weren’t all true.” Two of them lunged forward, boots grinding against the stone as they struck him d

chapter 24 savior from the shadow

My eyes flew open. For one agonizing second I thought it would be Xavier’s blood staining my skin, the end of everything I had dreaded and hoped for twisted into one brutal finale. But when my gaze landed on him, his golden eyes were still locked on mine, wide with shock, his chest still heaving with air. It wasn’t his blood and it wasn't mine either. I turned my head slowly, almost too afraid to see what truth waited there, and what I saw rooted me to the chains. The hunter who had pressed the gun to Xavier’s temple was no longer standing. His throat was torn wide open, blood pouring in hot streams across the stone floor. And behind him—moving so quickly my eyes struggled to follow—was a blur of fur and fangs, a beast tearing through the cave like the storm itself had taken form. The hunters barely had time to scream. One after another, they fell. Limbs crushed, throats ripped, silver blades clattering uselessly to the ground. The cave filled with the sounds of wet cracks, snarl

chapter 25 silent defiance

Kai stumbled back as if the arrow had stolen the strength straight out of his body. His hand clutched at the wound, blood spilling thick and fast between his fingers. His other palm scraped against the rough stone wall, trying to steady himself, but his legs trembled. His jaw tightened, his teeth bared in a hiss of pain, yet he did not cry out. The cave echoed only with his ragged breathing and the slow drip of blood hitting the floor. My whole body froze, my breath locked tight in my throat. The sight of crimson spreading down his torso hit me harder than any hunter’s blade. “Xavier,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “What did you do?” Xavier stood rigid, his shoulders squared, his chest heaving as though he was still chained, still fighting for air. His golden eyes glared, not at me, not at the blood, but at Kai. His fists trembled at his sides. “Don’t,” he said through clenched teeth, his voice raw and guttural. “Don’t look at him like that. Don’t you see it? Don’t you feel it?

chapter 26

Kai’s body jerked, another cough ripping through him, blood spilling down his lip and splattering on the dirt. My chest tightened so painfully I almost doubled over. His lips were cracked, trembling, but his arms pressed into the ground anyway, stubborn as always. He was trying to stand, shaking so hard I thought his bones might snap, but still he fought to rise. My heart ached. I couldn’t stop staring at the fire in his eyes—dark, burning, unbroken. He wouldn’t yield, even when his body already had. “Kai…” The whisper scraped out of me before I could swallow it. My wolf whimpered inside, restless, desperate to run to him, to catch him before he fell again. But Xavier’s presence weighed me down like chains, his command coiling in the air, suffocating. Then the sound came. Heavy footsteps. The ground seemed to tremble beneath them, the air thickening with the sharp bite of steel and dominance. My stomach twisted as the figures emerged from the trees—Xavier’s betas. They moved like

chapter 27 The lie within

The cell was colder than I expected. The walls breathed dampness, stone sweating under the weight of shadows. Chains rattled somewhere in the distance, each sound sinking deeper into my bones. My wolf paced inside me restlessly, growling at the confinement, at the scent of blood still thick in the air. Kai’s blood. My heart clenched. They had dragged him farther down the hall, past the barred gates into the darker part of the prison. I hadn’t been able to follow, not with Xavier’s command burning against my skin. The last glimpse I caught was his figure, swaying, wrists bound in iron. Chains bit into him, and yet he carried himself with a pride that made my chest ache. I pressed my forehead against the bars of my cell. My breath trembled out in shallow waves, fogging the iron. I should have been fighting. I should have thrown myself in their path, demanded mercy, clawed at Xavier until he listened. But I hadn’t. I couldn’t. And that shame cut deeper than any blade. All I could thi

chapter 28

My lungs burned, but no air came. The words wrapped around me like a noose, dragging me deeper into the dark. Not Xavier’s.The child Selena carried—the very weapon she wielded against me—wasn’t hisMy mind reeled. My body swayed where I stood. It was impossible, yet Angela’s eyes carried no shadow of doubt. The silence stretched thick between us, wrapping around my throat until I thought I might choke.“Are you certain?” I whispered, My hand clutched at my chest, nails biting into flesh. “Are you sure?”Angela’s expression was drawn, her face pale, but her voice carried a quiet strength. “Yes, Larissa. I checked twice, in secret. I would not risk telling you this if I was not sure. The bloodline markers don’t match. Larissa, I swear on the Moon Goddess herself—the child cannot be Xavier’s.”She spoke with the same voice she had used when we were children and I had scraped my knees climbing too high, the same voice that always steadied me when fear wrapped its claws around my heart.

chapter 29 I promise

The storm had long since rolled past, leaving the night heavy and damp, but Xavier could not shake the thunder still echoing in his chest. His chambers were dim, lit only by the faint glow of embers in the fireplace and the moonlight cutting across the wide windows. He sat on the edge of his bed, bare to the waist, his shoulders rigid, head bowed. The weight of command pressed heavier than his crown ever could, and in the silence he thought only of the girl in the prison below. Larissa’s face would not leave him. The pain in her eyes as she had been dragged away still carved deep into his chest. He had told himself a dozen times that it was for the good of the pack, that justice had to be seen. Yet each justification crumbled the moment he remembered her trembling hands, her broken voice. She had trusted him, and he had put her in chains. The soft creak of the door stirred him from his thoughts. He did not have to look up to know who it was. Her scent entered the room before she did

chapter 30 Think about it

The silence in the cell was always heavy, like an extra weight pressing down on my chest. I thought I had grown used to it, to the cold stone walls and the stale air that smelled faintly of damp earth, but tonight my mind would not let me rest. Angela’s words still echoed in me, her discovery gnawing at my thoughts. Selene’s pregnancy was not Xavier’s, yet who it belonged to remains a cruel mystery. That secret burned brighter than the torches outside, and though Angela had sworn to find proof, the knowledge alone twisted inside me like a knife. My thoughts spun through every step that had led me here. The betrayal, the trial, the sentence of exile. Xavier’s eyes turned hard against me when once they had been soft, his voice carrying accusations I had never deserved. Then Kai—always Kai. Saving me from the hunters’ chains, pulling me from the brink when death had clawed too close, shielding me when Xavier had left me to the world’s cruelty. I remembered the sharp sting of the needle,
