All Chapters of The Darkest Wolves: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Luna Amanda lay on the soft bed inside her private room, her eyes closed, breathing slowly. Her room was better than the others-not cold or dark like the servant quarters. It had a clean bed, soft curtains, a warm blanket, and even a small window where sunlight sometimes came in. It was a luxury in a place ruled by pain.Even if Baron kept her as a prisoner, he still treated her like a jewel. She hated it. Every comfort in that room reminded her that she wasn't free. She was still trapped.Suddenly, a knock came at the door.Amanda sat up quickly. Her heart pounded. She looked at the time. It was still early. Too early for Baron. She walked slowly to the door and opened it.Standing there was Mira, one of the maids-a young woman with kind eyes and a gentle voice."Mira?" Amanda asked, surprised. "What is it? Why are you here?"Mira looked around nervously, then leaned closer and whispered, "Luna Amanda... I think I can help you escape."Amanda froze. "What? What are you saying?"Mira'

The next morning, the sun rose gently over the Moonlit Pack. Most of the pack members were already awake, starting their daily tasks. Inside the grand mansion, the kitchen buzzed with activity. Some of the maids were chopping vegetables, others boiling water. Laughter filled the air.Near the corner hallway, two women peeked quietly around the wall. It was Luna Amanda and Mara."There she is again," Amanda said in a low voice, crossing her arms.They both stared at Giselle, who stood by the kitchen stove, helping other maids prepare breakfast. She had a soft smile on her face as she stirred a large pot of mushroom soup.Amanda rolled her eyes. "Look at her acting like she owns the place.""She's trying too hard," Mara whispered with a smirk.Amanda huffed. "Everyone's treating her like she's the sweetest thing in the pack. Why are they even laughing at her jokes? She's not even funny.""She's not even a pack member!" Mara added, narrowing her eyes.Amanda shook her head in irritation.

Alpha Jake carried Luna Amanda gently in his arms. Her eyes were red from crying, and her left arm was slightly burned. She pressed her face to his chest, sobbing softly."Hold on, Amanda," Jake whispered as he opened the door to their bedroom.He slowly walked in and gently laid her down on their soft bed. Amanda whimpered and looked at him with pain in her eyes."It still hurts..." she whispered.Jake sat on the edge of the bed and touched her hair gently. "The healer will bring the cream. Just relax now."Amanda looked up at him. "Jake...""Yes?"Amanda sniffed and wiped a tear. "Now do you still think Giselle is not doing anything wrong?"Jake looked away for a moment.Amanda grabbed his hand weakly. "She hurt me, Jake. She poured hot soup on me. She made it look like an accident. But it wasn't."Jake sighed and rubbed his face. "Amanda...""She didn't try to stop it!" Amanda said quickly. "She didn't even say sorry right away! She just stood there. That's not how someone acts whe

Giselle ran through the long garden path behind the Moonlit Pack mansion, tears streaming down her face. Her chest ached as the pain of the day weighed heavily on her. Everything had become too much-the lies, the rumors, the threat from Kyle. Her legs trembled, but she kept moving until she reached the small bench near the rose bushes. She sat there and curled up, burying her face in her hands as silent sobs escaped her lips.She was scared. She felt alone. And more than anything, she wanted to disappear.A few minutes passed before she heard footsteps. She quickly wiped her tears, trying to hide the red in her eyes and the trembling in her lips. She sat up straight, pretending she was fine."Giselle?" a deep voice called gently.She turned slowly and saw Alpha Jake standing just a few steps away. He looked concerned, his brows furrowed as he walked toward her."I saw you running out here," Jake said. "You were crying. Tell me what happened."Giselle swallowed hard, her eyes welling u

Alpha Jake paused in the hallway as the sound of breaking glass echoed from behind the door he just closed.He clenched his jaw and closed his eyes. He knew Amanda was hurting. He knew this would crush her. But his decision was final.There was no turning back.Jake turned and walked away, down the long hallway toward his study. His boots echoed on the wooden floor as he carried the pillow and jacket in his arms. The mansion was quiet now, too quiet. The weight of everything hung heavy on his shoulders.He entered his study and gently closed the door behind him. He dropped the pillow on the couch and sat down on the leather chair near the fireplace. He rubbed his forehead, then leaned his head back.So much had changed.He took a deep breath and opened his mind link to his Beta."Shane?" Jake said silently through the mind link."Yes, Alpha?" Beta Shane replied right away."I just talked to Amanda," Jake said, his thoughts tired. "I told her my decision.""What decision?" Shane asked,
