All Chapters of BEYOND THE MOON: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I turned to where the growl came from and where Chloe now stared wide eyed at and saw Two guys. The first guy was extremely pale but unlike me his pale skin had a radiant, porcelain-like quality, a testament to his immortal nature. His features were chiseled, with high cheekbones and a strong jawline that looked like it could cut through wood like it were butter. His eyes gleamed with amusement, a piercing shade of grey that seemed to hold ancient whispers. His hair, a rich dark grey perfectly styled to frame his angular face. He crossed his arms over his chest, crinkling his very ironed formal shirt, crossing his ankle and casually leaning his lean but muscular body on the wall closest to them. He's a vampire and I am completely struck by his cold but captivating presence. The guy next to him had short, dark hair that was neatly trimmed, framing his strong facial features. Unlike the vampire, his build more muscular was evident under his rugged clothing. His muscles flexed, should

"Sigillum rumpere,("To break the seal,)" I heard her whisper, and my blood ran cold. "Vitam dare("To give life.)"Those weren't just memorial inscriptions. They were part of an ancient protection spell, words of power that hadn't been spoken in this garden for decades. Words that only a few ancients knew how to speak. And she was reading them like she understood their meaning.Her lips parted like she was about whispering the next one when she stopped, turned and locked eyes with me.Her spine stiffened, shoulders tensed and eyes shone with recognition as we stared at each other. It felt exactly like when she stared at my wolf at the hospital balcony. I noticed the change in her breathing as she squeezed one of the boards. She scrunched her face and shut her yes then opened them again just like I felt it like a physical blow. Power crackled through the air, visible to my enhanced senses as silver threads that connected her to the very foundation of our territory's protections. The i

The next morning I woke up with a headache and found out that my little medical emergency had apparently become pack gossip. I discovered this when I ventured to the communal kitchen area of our temporary housing to grab some coffee and nearly walked into a conversation that made my blood run cold."—can't believe she had the audacity to faint right in front of everyone," a sharp female voice was saying. "So dramatic and then Alpha Kael carries her off like she's some precious princess? Please.""Maybe she did it on purpose," another voice chimed in—male this time, and unfortunately familiar. It was Jake Morrison from my own pack, someone who'd never missed an opportunity to remind me how disappointingly human I was. "You know how these weak types operate. Always looking for attention from stronger wolves."I pressed myself against the wall outside the kitchen entrance, my heart hammering against my ribs. The buzzing sensation under my skin that had been constant since last night

I woke to the sound of commotion outside my window – cars arriving, voices calling out greetings, the general bustle that accompanied the arrival of someone important. My bedside clock showed 6:30 AM, which meant whoever was arriving had either traveled through the night or believed in making dramatic entrances at dawn.The buzzing under my skin had worsened overnight, a constant electrical hum that made it difficult to focus on anything else. Every nerve ending felt hypersensitive, and the whispers in my head – those ancient words I couldn't quite understand – seemed louder than ever. I pressed my palms against my temples, trying to ease the building pressure.Dragging myself to the window, I peered through the blinds. Below in the circular drive, a convoy of three black SUVs was parked in perfect formation. What looked like half the pack had gathered around the vehicles, their excitement palpable even from three stories up. I could see Beta Thane directing traffic, his usual c

Alpha Kael had changed into dark dress pants and a crisp white button-down shirt that emphasized his broad shoulders and lean build, and his hair was styled more formally than usual. But it was his expression that caught and held my attention – there was something almost grim about his features, as if he was mentally preparing to deliver difficult or disturbing news rather than conduct a routine pack meeting.Lyra appeared beside him a moment later, and the sight of them standing together made my chest tighten with that persistent emotion I kept stubbornly refusing to acknowledge as jealousy. She'd changed from her practical tactical gear into an elegant navy dress that perfectly complemented her chocolate eyes and emphasized her athletic figure. Her strawberry blonde hair had been pulled back into a mid-updo away from her face that showcased her aristocratic bone structure. Standing beside Alpha Kael, she looked like she belonged there naturally, like they were two perfectly matc
