All Chapters of The Moon's Chosen : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

KIRA’S POV.After Anton went back downstairs, I went into my closet to grab a folded blanket and a pillow from the linen closet. My movements were slower now, heavy with uncertainty. I couldn't tell if I was doing the right thing or if I was just being plain stupid. A huge part of me told me it was the latter, because who in their right mind would allow a stranger to spend the night at their house? Not to mention, there’s only the two of us in the house. That was certainly not wise. But he’d made it obvious he’d rather stay out there in the cold than return to the hospital, and I wasn't heartless enough to let him remain there. My conscience wouldn’t allow it.My head was starting to ache from everything that had happened tonight, and no amount of logic was easing it. One night, I reminded myself. Just one night.When I went back downstairs, the lights in the living room were dim. The house felt different with Anton in it. Not louder. Not threatening. Just… aware. Normally, it was jus

KIRA’S POV“What was that?”My voice carried softly down the stairs, quiet but sharp enough to cut through the silence of the house. I almost regretted talking because I ended up startling him.Anton lifted his head surprised to realize I was standing there all along. For a brief second, something crossed his face—something I couldn’t place my hand on. When he was sure I was focused on him, his eyes flicked to me, then back to the book in his hands. Whatever that look was, it vanished almost as soon as I noticed it, replaced by calm control.He didn't speak immediately, he sighed and turned away. He closed the book slowly, like he wasn’t in a hurry, like I hadn’t just caught him in the middle of something important. He was too casual about it. He placed it beside him on the couch and rested his hands on his knees... obviously trying to avoid unnecessary question and answer session.“It was nothing,” he said evenly. “Just something at the back of my memory. I was trying to remember i

THIRD POVMorning light crept through the high windows of the pack house, but it did nothing to soften the heavy mood inside. The mood was still tense. Alpha Alec marched down the hallway, anger rolling off him in sharp, dangerous waves. His boots struck the floor in hard, fast steps, each one echoing his foul mood. His temper was off the roof...he had to hold himself together and and at least prove he had it all together. His jaw was clenched so tight it ached, and his shoulders were stiff with tension.Delta Scott hurried beside him, struggling to keep up with Alec’s long strides. Scott had been awake most of the night, just like the Alpha, and it showed in the dark circles under his eyes. Still, he stayed alert, ready to answer anything Alec asked...it was his duty after all.The Alpha's mood was already terrible, and failure to give him answers to any of his questions would definitely not end well for Scott.“What about after I left?” Alec demanded without slowing down, like he

KIRA’S POV.Alec’s expression hardened in a way I knew too well.“This is exactly why you can’t be trusted,” he snapped at me. “Reckless. Stubborn. Self-centered, disrespectful! Always thinking you know better than everyone else. Always making doing whatever you want without thinking about how it affects anyone else. What is wrong with you, Kira?! If your parents were here right now, I wonder what they would have thought of their precious little girl.”The words hit hard, but I refused to shrink. I refused to show it to him. I refused to let him see how much his words affected me.I straightened, my spine stiffening. “You don’t get to speak to me like that. And you better leave my parents out of this if you know what is good for you, Alec.”Alec let out a harsh laugh. “I’m the Alpha. I’ll speak to you however I want, Kira, especially since you've chosen to disrespect me at every damn turn!”His voice rose, echoing off the walls of my house. My house. “You put this pack at risk. You al

KIRA’S POVThe room fell into silence again...the kind of silence that pressed down on my chest and made my heart pound in my ears. Time seemed to stretch, every second heavier than the last. I watched Anton stand there, calm, his presence still radiating that impossible power, while Alec slowly dusted off his clothes.His eyes snapped toward Anton, burning with anger. “You… you don’t even realize what you’ve done,” he hissed, his voice low and almost scary if not for the fact that he had just been humiliated a moment ago. His jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might snap. “Do you have any idea what you just got yourself into by daring to lay a hand on me? On an Alpha?”Anton didn’t flinch. He simply met Alec’s gaze—steady, controlled—but I could feel the tension coiling in the room like a live wire.Alec stepped closer, fists clenched, his voice rising. “You think you can come into my territory and throw me around? You think I’ll just let that slide? You’ll pay. I promise you that
