All Chapters of The Rise Of The Forsaken Luna : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

BRIANA"Beta Briana."Hearing my name, I turn around and see Beta Titus walking toward me with a relaxed smile on his face. I give him a small nod in acknowledgment, waiting for him to come closer before saying anything. Compared to when I saw him earlier at lunch with his alpha, he looks sharper now. His blond hair is slicked neatly with gel, and his clothes are clean and crisp, as if he wanted to make a better impression."How's your guest house? Comfortable enough?" I ask once he's close enough, choosing to break the silence with simple small talk."It's very nice, actually. Clean and welcoming. Alpha Linda really outdid herself in providing accommodations," he replies warmly.I laugh at that, shaking my head and glancing toward the wide field where David, our Luan (our male Luna), and a handful of omegas are busy preparing the soil for what will soon become a community garden."That wasn't Linda's doing," I correct him gently. "It's David who handles those things. He's our Luan,

DRAKEI stood at the window of my motel room, watching my packmates laugh and splash in the pool outside. Their joy almost felt foreign to me after the heavy weeks I had carried. It had been only a few hours since we arrived, and already it seemed like a different world compared to the shadows of Moonveil Pack.Natty was the first to greet Peter and me when we stepped off the bus. He guided us to this small motel, about twenty minutes from the station. Without asking, he used my card to rent out every room for four nights just in case Ivory Fangs took longer to reach us. He even promised the staff a fat tip whether we stayed that long or not. It was my money he spent, but I didn't stop him. He had made the right call.The place wasn't huge twenty five rooms total so some of the pack had to share. Thankfully, there were a few mated pairs among us, which made things easier. When I finally got my keycard, I shut myself inside and collapsed onto the bed. Sleep hit me like a stone, all the

BRIANABalancing the last bowl of salad in my hands,I follow Evette out to the long tables set up near the bonfire. The flames crackle warmly in the night air, laughter spilling across the clearing. I can't help but smile as I watch the Moonveil wolves, who will officially become part of Ivory Fangs next week, chat easily with our own pack. They already act like family, joking about training together and taking turns on patrol tomorrow.But beneath that lighthearted energy, something heavier lingers. The wolves who used to belong to Silver Paw sit stiffly, glaring at the Shadow Moon visitors. Their stares are filled with old grudges and distrust. On the other side, Shadow Moon keeps close to themselves, wary and reserved. I had worried this might happen since we didn't assign seating for the bonfire. Still, the hostility cuts deeper than I expected. A chill ripples through me even though the fire burns hot."Briana!"I turn to see Royce and Milan making their way toward me, and to my

BRIANA"I'll handle this," Alpha Morgan sighs, setting his briefcase on the table before striding toward the coffee machine. He pours two steaming cups and places them down with practiced ease, his hand immediately reaching for the cream and sweetener. Beside him, Titus quietly adds milk and sugar to his own. The way they move feels mechanical, almost like they've done this hundreds of times before, and I can't help but watch with a flicker of amusement."Well," Alexander says, his sharp gaze never leaving the visiting alpha, "we received the copies from your lawyer by email, but I'm guessing you brought your own set?"Morgan lets out a low growl, his voice rumbling with irritation. Instinctively, I growl back without hesitation, my warning clear. He might be an alpha, but this is our land, and I will not let him walk in and disrespect anyone here. His eyes snap toward me, filled with curiosity and something darker, greedier. I meet his stare head on, letting him feel the edge of m

BRIANAWatching the cars of Shadow Moon drive away, I finally let out a long sigh of relief and sink onto the pack house steps.The last five days had been exhausting.Between drawing up a peace treaty with Alpha Morgan, showing their wolves around our most important buildings, and keeping Morgan's wandering eyes and shameless advances under control I was ready to collapse.More than once, I'd been forced to break up fights.Shadow Moon wolves had this irritating habit of provoking mine, and when tempers flared, I quickly tossed the guilty ones into our prison cell for a night to cool off.Morgan hated that, of course, but Linda and I had made it clear: either he kept his wolves in check, or he could leave.He grumbled, but he listened, and by the third day, the fights finally stopped.The only wolf from their pack who seemed willing to be civil was Titus.I even invited him over for a poker game at my cottage.Peter, Milan, and I absolutely robbed him blind, walking away with three h
