51~ I Can’t Lose You!

Derek’s POV Pain shot up my leg like a bolt of electricity tearing through my bones as I hauled myself upright, gripping Zeal’s shoulder with one hand and the head of my cane with the other. Every muscle in my body screamed to be set free, but I ignored the searing pain and hobbled toward the stables as fast as my injured legs would allow. “Alpha, you’ll open your wounds if you keep moving at this rate. Please, let me handle it for you,” Zeal cried out, but I shoved his words aside and kept leaping towards the stables. We reached the stable in no time, and the thick smell of hay mixed with the musky scents from the horses filtered into my nose, making it twitch involuntarily. Fiona’s piercing, high-pitched voice that was tangled with Xira’s grumpiness stirred the air with a chaos that the frantic neighs of the restless horses only worsened. “Fiona!” My voice came out harsher than I intended, but I couldn’t blame myself for sounding like an irritated granny, as my fear a

52~ My Descent

Kael’s POVFury burned in my chest like acid, eating away at whatever restraints and hope I had left for a better end to what had plagued the Moonveil. Each new report that landed on my desk was always worse than the last.

And honestly, I couldn’t even blame them. Everyone knows that aligning yourself with a pack under siege is the fastest way to paint a target on your own back. Tsk.Trade agreements were dissolving, promises breaking, and the same mouths that were once full of my praises, serenading the atmosphere with every given opportunity, now whispered behind my back in mockery.They called it my descent as if I had fallen from some divine grace that was at a height I should never have attempted.Even within my own w

53~ That Night

Kael’s POV“I know you’ve avoided talking about him since that night,” Zeal continued in a low but firm voice, after letting a taunting silence stretch between us. “But I think it is time we revisit that discussion again.”“No,” I said sharply, pushing back from the table. “We don’t need to because whatever is dead and buried stays buried.”“Kael…”“This conversation is over,” I cut him off with a tone that left no room for argument.I rose to my feet, ignoring his burning gaze as I turned and walked out of the council hall. I have so much on my plate right now to start dwelling on the past and opening old wounds. There were two things on my mind as I made my way back to the pack house—clearing my head and speaking to Laila.The former was the top on my list because she was doing everything but playing the role of the Luna that she fought so hard to become. She was supposed to stand by me during these trying times, offer counsel, and help steer the pack through this storm. But no, s
