chapter 11

The massive crystal chandeliers in the Silvermoon grand hall cast a blinding golden glow, reflecting off the rows of champagne flutes and the guests' expensive jewelry. Alpha Albert and Luna Eva stood at the entrance with triumphant smiles. They greeted Alphas from neighboring packs, flaunting the opulence of Madison and Harper’s wedding—a gaudy symbol of Silvermoon’s rebirth after Moon Shadow cleared their debts. Madison stood on a makeshift altar, draped in a white diamond-encrusted gown that cost as much as a small village. Beside her, Harper looked dashing in his tuxedo, though his eyes darted around restlessly as if he were searching for something he’d lost. Suddenly, the heavy double doors of the hall swung open without a knock. Silence instantly smothered the room. The orchestra’s classical melody cut off mid-note. A woman stepped inside with an intimidating grace. Ruby was wearing a blood-red couture gown that trailed across the marble floor, featuring a thigh-high slit that

The rogue collapsed in the center of the hall, surrounded by the sneers and judgmental glares of the guests. Desperate to keep his family’s dignity from sinking any further, Albert barked an order to Madison’s personal Beta guard to clean up the mess. The Beta stepped forward, his face a mask of cold stone. He drew his blade, and in one swift, brutal arc, the rogue’s head was severed from his shoulders. Fresh blood sprayed across the white marble, staining the hem of Madison’s priceless wedding gown. Madison let out a sharp gasp, but it was born more of embarrassment than actual fear. "Execution complete," the Beta muttered, sheathing his sword. Harper Scott recoiled, his breath coming in ragged hitches. He stared at the blood soaking into Madison’s dress, then looked at the woman who had just been outed as a traitor. "This wedding is off," Harper’s voice boomed, echoing through the rafters. "I will not tie myself to a woman who crawls into bed with rogues behind my back." Madison

Chapter 13

Night had fallen over the Alpha’s estate. Ruby made her way toward Dexter’s private quarters, carrying a silver tray with a crystal decanter of herbal tonic. She pushed open the bathroom door to find Dexter soaking in a massive natural stone tub. The steaming water reached his chest, framing his broad shoulders and the hard, corded muscle of his arms. His black hair was slicked back, wet and dark, sharpening the rugged lines of his face. Ruby set the tray on a small side table. She stood at the edge of the tub, watching him. He kept his eyes closed, seemingly indifferent to her presence. "Your drink, Alpha," Ruby said. Dexter’s eyes flickered open. Those dark blue depths locked onto her, scanning every inch of her body. Ruby didn't flinch. Instead, she knelt at the edge of the tub, letting the hem of her silk nightgown soak in the overflowing water. "Tell me," she challenged. "After all that training... after I took down ten of your elite warriors... am I strong enough now? Am I f

Chapter 14

Steam rose in thick plumes from the marble tub in the private chambers that now belonged to Ruby. Four handmaidens worked in absolute silence, their heads bowed low, not daring to make eye contact with the woman who was about to become their Luna. They scrubbed her skin with essential oils of sandalwood and wild rose, washing away the lingering scent of last night’s hunt. Ruby let them work. She stood motionless as they rinsed her silver hair until it shimmered like spun silk. "It is finished, Luna," the senior maid whispered. Ruby stepped out of the bath, and a plush velvet towel was immediately wrapped around her. With practiced precision, the maids dressed her in silk lingerie, followed by the ceremonial gown commissioned specifically by Dexter’s command. Around her neck, they fastened a heavy necklace featuring a massive, blue-tinted moonstone. It was a Moon Shadow heirloom, a relic permitted only to the Alpha's mate. When the preparations were complete, Ruby walked through the

Dexter strode into the front hall with Ruby at his side, her maroon silk gown flowing with every step. In the center of the hall, a tall man in elegant black leathers stood swirling a glass of wine. This was Alpha Silas of the Blackwood Pack. "Rough night, Alpha?" Silas asked, his eyes immediately zeroing in on the red marks on Dexter’s neck that his collar hadn't quite hidden. "You really shouldn't have interrupted, Silas," Dexter replied coldly, taking his seat on the high throne. "Showing up uninvited at the crack of dawn after a Luna’s coronation is the fastest way to start a kin war." Silas let out a booming, rugged laugh full of easy confidence. "I couldn't help myself. Word reached the Blackwood elders that a Silvermoon collateral suddenly awakened an Ancient wolf. I had to see for myself if my cousin was hallucinating out of lust, or if he’d actually found a diamond in the rough." Dexter’s jaw tightened. He took Ruby’s hand, pulling her firmly to his side so Silas could ge

Chapter 16

The rhythmic thud of combat boots in the mansion courtyard sounded like a racing heartbeat. Inside her room, Ruby stood frozen behind tightly drawn curtains. her hands were clenched, bunching the silk of her nightgown. “You’re being childish, Ruby,” Lilian’s voice echoed in her mind. The Ancient wolf let out a disgruntled purr, sensing her host’s volatile emotions. “I’m angry because I’m worried about him, Lilian!” Ruby snapped back internally. “Is he doubting me? Does he think I’m just a liability who’s going to get him killed on the battlefield?” “No,” Lilian countered, her tone calmer, almost wise. “He doesn't doubt your strength. He loves you with a possessive, dangerous intensity. He can’t stand the thought of anything happening to you because, to him, you are his life. If you get hurt, his focus shatters—and that is the only way he truly loses.” Hearing Lilian’s words, the burning heat in Ruby’s chest began to cool, replaced by a suffocating sense of guilt. She remembered how

His Attitude is Confusing

Celine stared at her healed hand, then shifted her gaze to me. Hatred was crystal clear in her eyes. Her lips thinned. She didn't say anything, but her look was enough to explain everything.Alpha Dexter glared at her. "Get out!" His command was absolute.Celine clenched her fists. She gave Alpha a resentful look, then turned to me. "You'll regret this, Alpha. And you," she pointed at me, "I'll be back." Her words sounded like a promise, and a cold threat. Then, she turned and walked away, her steps quick and full of fury.After Celine left, all eyes were on me. I felt completely drained. The strength to heal Celine's wound, I don't know where it came from. It felt like something was forcibly pulled from inside me. Still, I didn't want to look weak. I gathered the last of my strength, trying to stand tall.Alpha Dexter was still by my side. He didn't let go of my arm. His hand was still holding on tight, as if afraid I'd fall. His eyes stared intently at me. There was a mix of worry a

What's Wrong With You?

That night, I went back to my room. I closed the door tightly. No one was here. No one was watching. I stood in the middle of the room, trying to recall that healing energy. I closed my eyes, focusing all my attention on the wounds on my body. I tried again. And again.I tried to draw energy, imagining warmth spreading, but nothing. My body felt cold. I imagined my hand healing a wound, like what happened to Celine, but there was no reaction. No light, no strange sensation, no improvement. Frustration enveloped me. My forehead started sweating again. A complete failure.I gave up, collapsing to the floor, hugging my knees. I felt bitter failure. Why? Why only when I'm desperate? Why only for others?Suddenly, I felt something move quickly near me. Light footsteps, like the rustle of fine fur on the floor. I lifted my head slightly, peering through the gap in my folded knees. A faint wolf-shaped streak of white light flashed in my vision. So fast. I instantly lifted my head, but there

New Rules

"But Alpha," I protested, "the game isn't over! Our team is almost winning!"He didn't care. His eyes glared at me sharply. He didn't like being contradicted. "You're too noisy."I frowned. I had been enthusiastic with Julian earlier, but not to the point of disturbing other spectators. This was ridiculous. "I wasn't too noisy! We were just talking about the game. Besides, it's just a game. It shouldn't bother you!"Alpha let out a long sigh, one hand on his head, as if I was his biggest headache. His face looked incredibly frustrated. "Fine. If you want to stay here, I'll go alone."He turned, ready to leave. I watched his straight back walk away. Anger suddenly surged in my chest. This was unfair. He just shows up, forbids me from having fun, and then wants to just leave?I grabbed his arm, clutching his shirt. The muscle in his arm felt hard. "No! I don't want you to leave! You have to explain why you're acting like this!" I didn't care that Julian was startled by this scene or the

Wedding Postponed

"Why though?" Alpha asks, his voice challenging. "Why does it matter if it limits you?"Ruby looks into Alpha Dexter's intense black eyes. She's not fazed. This game, this push-and-pull Alpha's playing, makes Ruby feel challenged. She's not giving up that easily. She'll prove she can make Alpha fall for her.Ruby leans forward, bringing her face so close her lips almost brush Alpha's ear. The scent of mint and masculine soap wafts from Alpha's body."Because I don't like being restricted," Ruby whispers, full of provocation. "Especially by you."Ruby lets go of his arm, then her hands move up, gripping the collar of Alpha's wet robe, pulling him closer. The distance between them almost vanishes. Ruby's back is pressed perfectly against Alpha's chest."If you insist on making those strict rules," Ruby continues, her voice caught by their closeness, "I'll get reckless."Alpha remains silent, his breath soft against Ruby's cheek."How reckless?" Alpha asks.Ruby looks up slightly, her ey
