บททั้งหมดของ An Alpha Bound By The Moon: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

The first light of dawn crept across the riverbend, painting the water in silver streaks. Aurora sat cross-legged on her favorite flat stone, the ancient scroll spread open before her. She closed her eyes, inhaled the eucalyptus-tinted air, and willed her aura to gather into a perfect, invisible sphere around her no larger than a birdcage. For a heartbeat, the bubble held steady: crisp, defined. Then, as sunlight shifted through the gum trees, the edge shivered like a wavering flame. Aurora’s breath caught. She drew it back in, forced herself to steady her heart and wolf alike, and the sphere collapsed without incident.Progress, Sam purred softly in her mind.Aurora opened her eyes and made a careful note in her leather-bound journal: Attempt #7: bubble stable 3.7 seconds. Need a steadier anchor. Then she rolled the scroll closed, tucked it into her satchel, and stood as the sun climbed higher.By midmorning, the historic cobblestone square bustled with b

The morning sun warmed the verandah of the Kindy, where a dozen toddlers tumbled over bright rugs and soft toy blocks. Mia stood at the edge of the play area, clipboard in hand, guiding a circle of young pups through a song about the moon and the river. “Round and round the river we go, under the moon’s soft silver glow…” Their little voices rose in ragged harmony, and Mia beamed with pride.Aurora arrived moments later, Malcolm wiggling against her hip. Angel rode in Mia’s arms, already settled among the toddlers. Aurora paused to watch Mia’s gentle hands clap time, then eased forward so Malcolm could see his auntie at work.“Come on in,” Mia whispered, settling Angel down on a small cushion. Angel’s wide eyes lit up as she joined the others in clapping.Aurora set Malcolm on the verandah floor beside her, kneeling to help him copy the clap and turn motions. He watched Mia closely, then managed a few clumsy claps of his own. A freckled cheeked girl toddled over

The Pack House’s council chamber sat cool in the morning light, its wide windows overlooking the cobbled square below. A polished timber table filled the center, surrounded by high-backed chairs carved with ancestral wolf motifs. Jason and Nathan stood at one end, flanked by Lucas, the town planner and the accountant, Mrs.. Crawford, whose leather satchel bulged with papers.Aurora, newly returned from the Kindy meeting, slipped into her chair beside Nathan, Angel curled against her. Mia sat opposite, Malcolm on her lap. The steady hum of the pack gathering for business drifted in through the open door.Jason tapped the table. “All right, everyone. We’re here to discuss the purchase of a small bus for school runs and community transport, and to finalise funding solutions for the road project. Lucas, would you start us off?”Lucas cleared his throat. “Thank you, Alpha. After scouting options in Adelaide and Melbourne, I’ve iden

 Weeks slipped by in a blur of activity, the rhythm of life moving steadily forward. Construction on the main road was progressing smoothly, and the pack buzzed with excitement about the upcoming arrival of their new bus.Jason walked alongside Lucas early one morning, clipboard in hand, inspecting the freshly laid stretch of bitumen. The black road gleamed under the morning sun, a stark contrast to the red dirt that had previously dominated the landscape.Lucas bent down to examine the surface, running his palm over the warm asphalt. “Smooth as silk,” he remarked with satisfaction. “They’ve done an exceptional job.”Jason nodded, squinting into the bright sunlight as he gazed down the straight expanse toward town. “It changes everything. Makes us feel more connected, like we're part of something bigger.”Nathan joined them a moment later, stepping out of the passenger side of

 As autumn deepened, vibrant leaves began drifting gently onto the newly paved roads, creating brilliant splashes of red and gold against the fresh black bitumen. Each morning, Moonrunner rolled smoothly through town, ferrying excited pups to Kindy, elders to the markets, and volunteers to their daily tasks.Aurora stood by the kitchen window, sipping her tea, watching as Jason carefully strapped Malcolm into his booster seat on the bus. Mia followed closely, Angel bouncing happily at her side, thrilled at the prospect of another ride through the bustling pack lands.A quiet knock at the kitchen door drew Aurora’s attention. She turned to see Elder Runa standing at the threshold, holding a small basket of fresh herbs.“Good morning, Luna,” the elder greeted softly. “I brought these for you, sage and lavender from my garden. Good for calming busy minds.”Aurora smiled warmly, welcoming Run
