All Chapters of The Alpha Quintuplets' Guardian Luna: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"The same way I know what that symbol means," I replied, gesturing to the carving. "The same way I know he wants what I have, what I am.""And what exactly are you?" Peter asked, his voice less hostile than before, tinged with something that might have been fear.I met his gaze directly. "I'm a Guardian, apparently. And the five of you..." I gestured to the quintuplets, "...are supposed to be my Anchors.""Anchors?" Declan repeated, his brow furrowing. "What does that mean?"“Balance for my powers, the Shadow Alpha was a Guardian once, but he chose power over protection, so he killed his anchors and took their power for his own. He doesn’t want me to be his mate; he wants to consume my power just as he has done to others who have come before me. The five anchors are linked to one of each of the five main elements, fire, earth, air, water and spirit. If the Guardian doesn’t have their anchors, the powers can consume their barer, that’s why they tried to stop our bonds from forming. It’

"He was a Guardian who chose power over protection. He killed his Anchors and absorbed their power instead of working with them. Now he hunts new Guardians before they can fully awaken and bring balance.” “So he killed his mates to steal their powers?” “Yeah, apparently.” I said, “Now he wants mine. If anything, he’d probably go after yours as well, considering you’re my anchors and have your own powers as well, just as he did his own. However, as I said before, if we’re not all willing, there is no point. So I don’t even know why we’re discussing this.” I watched as my words hit them like a physical blow, each one landing with devastating precision. Through the mate bonds, I could feel their collective despair, a suffocating weight that pressed against my chest. Seth's face crumpled, his green eyes filling with a pain so raw it made my wolf whimper despite eve

"Ruby," Seth breathed, his hand hovering inches from my face as if he wanted to touch me but didn't dare. "Thank the goddess. We thought..." "I heard him," I interrupted, struggling to sit up despite the dizziness. "The Shadow Alpha. He was in my head while I was unconscious." The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees. Alpha Marcus stepped forward, his expression grave. "What did he say?" I glanced at Peter, who had gone even paler if that was possible. "He tried to convince me to take what I needed from all of you instead of waiting for you to give it freely. He fed on my pain when..." I stopped, not wanting to hurt Peter further by repeating his confession. "When I rejected you," Pete

Down the hall, Seth paced his room, unable to rest despite his exhaustion. His thoughts kept returning to Ruby, her vulnerability when she'd suggested they go on dates, the way she'd swayed on her feet before accepting his escort back to the cottage. For years, he'd fought against his instinct to protect her. Now that he could finally acknowledge those feelings, the need to be near her was almost overwhelming. Through the mate bond, he could sense she was sleeping, her consciousness a dim, troubled flicker. He wanted nothing more than to go to her, to stand guard while she rested, but he had promised to keep his distance. Trust had to be earned, not demanded. In his own room, Francis sat at his desk, methodically making lists. It was how he had always dealt with chaos, organising, planning, creating order from disorder. His current list was titled "Ways to Make Amends to

"Actually, yes." I took a deep breath, organising my thoughts. "In most elemental systems, there are distinct personalities associated with each element. Fire is passionate and impulsive. Earth is steady and stubborn. Air is intellectual and detached. Water is emotional and intuitive. Spirit is... harder to define, but it's usually about connection and intuition." Seth's eyes widened slightly. "You've studied this before?" I felt heat rise to my cheeks. "I read whatever books I could get my hands on. The pack library was the one place I could hide sometimes." Something like guilt flickered across his face, but he quickly refocused. "So based on those descriptions, who do you think is which?" I sipped my
