The Birthday That Changed Everything

The full moon hung heavy in the sky, casting silver light across the clearing where my entire pack had gathered. Every single member of Crescent Moon Pack stood in a circle around me, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. Or maybe it was pity. I couldn’t tell anymore.“Aria Silvermoon, step forward.” Alpha Marcus Steele’s voice boomed across the clearing, and I obeyed, my legs shaking beneath my simple white dress.Tonight was supposed to be magical. Tonight, on my eighteenth birthday, my wolf was supposed to emerge. Tonight, I was supposed to discover that Damien, the future Alpha and the boy I’d loved for two years, was my fated mate.At least, that’s what I’d been telling myself for months.“The Moon Goddess blesses us on this night,” Alpha Steele continued, his weathered face stern as always. Beside him stood his son, Damien, tall and golden-haired, looking every inch the Alpha he was born to be. “We gather to witness Aria’s first shift and to discover if the Goddess has granted

The Omega Cage

I didn’t sleep.How could I, when every time I closed my eyes, I saw Damien’s face twisted with disgust? Heard his words echoing in my mind like a death sentence. Wolfless. Weak. Worthless.The stone floor of the Omega Quarters was cold and unforgiving beneath me. I’d given up trying to find a comfortable position hours ago. Now I just sat with my back against the wall, staring at the sliver of moonlight that crept through the narrow window high above.Three days. I had three days to leave the only home I’d ever known.The thought should have terrified me, but all I felt was numb. The pain of the broken mate bond had faded to a dull, persistent ache in my chest, like a wound that would never fully heal. Physical pain I could handle. It was the emotional devastation that threatened to swallow me whole.A key turned in the lock, and I tensed. Dawn had barely broken; I could see the first hints of pink in the sky through my tiny window. Who would come for me this early?The door swung op

Shadows and Secrets

Two days.I had two days left before I had to leave Crescent Moon territory forever. Two days to prepare for a life I couldn’t even begin to imagine.I spent most of the second day studying my mother’s journal. The pages revealed themselves slowly, only showing me what I was ready to see. So far, I’d learned basic meditation techniques meant to help me “connect with my inner wolf,” which seemed pointless given that my wolf was supposedly locked behind a curse. But the journal insisted I practice anyway.Trust the process, my mother’s elegant script had read. The curse will break when you’re ready. Not a moment before.How was I supposed to know when I was ready? What did “ready” even mean?A sharp knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. I quickly shoved the journal under my thin mattress and stood.“Aria Silvermoon,” a gruff voice called. “Alpha Steele requests your presence in his office. Now.”My heart sank. What could the Alpha possibly want with me now? Hadn’t he done enough?Tw

Into the Wild

The final day.I woke before dawn, my body tense with anticipation. Tonight, I would either escape successfully or die trying. There was no middle ground, no plan B. Just freedom or death.I spent the morning carefully preparing, following the journal's instructions. My mother's words appeared on the pages as I needed them, guiding me through meditation techniques meant to "strengthen the connection to my dormant wolf."Even cursed, your wolf can sense danger,* the elegant script read. *Trust your instincts. They'll keep you alive.I closed my eyes and reached inward, searching for that presence Sarah had promised existed beneath the curse. For years, I'd found only emptiness. But now, after everything I'd learned, I tried again.There. Just barely. A flicker of something wild and primal, locked behind invisible chains. My wolf, sleeping but not dead. Waiting.Soon,* I promised her silently. *Soon you'll be free, and then we'll make them all pay.A low growl of agreement echoed in my
