The Divorce Decree

Third PersonWhile the envoys from Frost Fang arrived and the alpha, luna, and other important figures had gone to welcome them, chaos broke out at the eastern border of the Lambs' household.Beta Lambs was one of those men who knew when to and when not to fight. He was a lover of peace, and confrontations weren’t his best activity. But his calm nature had not been considered when the moon blessed him with a mate. During their swift courtship, Marrielle was everything he wanted in a woman. Her soft smiles, gentle laughter, and little gestures made him love her even more.But things soon changed. During the week before the wedding, her supposed best friend, the one she had praised at all times, suddenly became a no-talk topic. She hated the sound of her name and even forbade the guards from letting her in. Beta Lamb had intervened, but with how Marrielle would cry and blame it on not wanting to miss her too much after she departed from the pack, he let it go.Everyone was aware that Li

The Alpha’s Gamble

Third PersonGuests moved into the grand reception hall. Alpha Kael and his luna, Liora, were seated at the head of the table, followed by the ministers of Darkmoon on their left and the envoys of Frostfang on their right. Yella sat after her father; well, that wasn’t without protesting to take the seat closest to the alpha, but that was for Varik and not her.The outline for peace was brought out, and both parties read it diligently.“While I think this is a good idea, it will be better for the alpha to decide,” Prime Minister Caswell murmured, flipping through the pages.“I don’t agree,” Rowan Evercrest murmured. “The terms are outrageous. Frostfang is the one extending a hand of peace, and they not only brought their alpha’s daughter to seal a marriage, which is good, but then why does she have to have a say over the politics of the land?”“I beg to differ, Sir Rowan,” one of the envoys spoke, a young man with bright blond hair and thick blue eyes. “Yes, our alpha’s daughter is th

Heat

Liora AshwinWithout delay, Kael stood up, his gaze darkened. “Clear the hall,” he ordered, and Varik stood without delay.“What’s happening… we aren’t done?” Prime Minister Caswell protested, but his words fell on deaf ears.“Kael, what’s wrong?” Yella swayed her tiny waist forward, but Kael was long gone. The treacherous red eyes turned to her, ready to snap her throat.Maddox was in charge. He swept me off my feet, my hands holding onto him. His nose sniffed. “Mine,” he growled, then strolled out.The commotion behind was beyond words, and I… I couldn’t pay much attention. I was slipping, my vision blurred with thoughts I should harbor. I felt myself drip from within. My nipples hardened, and the touch of the fabric made me lean into Kael for more.I was placed in the car. “Drive,” Kael ordered. He had regained himself, but I could see he was fighting for control with Maddox.The ride back home was urgent, swift, but painful. My body begged to be touched in places I would never let

She Will Never Remember

Kael VeyronThe door slammed behind me, leaving nothing but echoes of her cry, her desperate plea for my attention, and her longing for my touch, but I walked away. Liora’s scent was all over me; my body, my clothes, and even my hands dripped with her. My wolf howled for her. He fought to go back to her. My body fought for her touch, but I knew better.I stumbled down the corridor, my breathing heavy as I struggled to get away as fast as I could. I couldn’t guarantee Maddox wouldn’t run back to her the moment he got control. All through the heated afternoon, I had fought the urge to touch her and fought him. She was his mate, the one he wanted to please so badly, but deep down, I knew better.Time passed painfully slowly. Standing beneath the tall trees and the cold breeze of the forest, only then did I breathe and let Maddox take over. First, he howled painfully, my body curved, and my bones broke, forcing a shift. Watching the world through the eyes of my big midnight black wolf, I

The Luna’s Trial

Third PersonThe first thing Liora noticed when she woke up the next morning was the continuous emptiness. Her maids had resumed as if nothing happened, and Helene was there to check on her one more time. Liora sat up and leaned against the headboard; her nails dug into her skin as she struggled with her inner thoughts.“Did… did the Alpha stay longer?” She finally asked, and Helene’s hands trembled for a split second. She dropped the herb she was pouring back on the table; her eyes twitched.“He made sure you were safe,” she finally said.But Liora could only hear that she wasn’t enough to make him stay longer. The long pause was like a death sentence; even Bianca and Nora felt her pain. No woman, more so an omega, wanted to be caught in her situation. The memories of the previous night made her skin crawl with disgust. How she had begged him with everything—her body, respect, and ego—but he couldn’t even look at her. He stayed, yes… but not because of her. It was only to make sure

The Trial He Approved

Third PersonThe arena was busy as always, wolves training, some chatting by the side, and others running and stretching. But the moment she entered, everything went cold as if a bucket of ice water had been flushed down their throats. Eyes turned, bodies stiffened, and some fists clenched.Liora noticed instantly. With all eyes on her, it was hard not to notice. And soon the whispering began like a wicked concert.“Look,” a female beta said, pointing a finger at Liora. “That’s the Luna who went into heat at the banquet before unmated wolves.”Then a cackle followed. “I can only imagine the disgrace. Honestly, this is why omegas shouldn’t be allowed to rule. She couldn’t even know her cycle and had to humiliate our Alpha in such a way,” a male gamma added.“I saw the Alpha during the early hours of the morning coming from the forest… I know he didn’t touch her,” another added.The laughter that followed was deafening.Bianca stepped forward, but Liora quickly held her back. “It won’t

“I Owe You Nothing”

Aliora AshwinI felt as though my heart would drop any second. How could he accept such madness? Who didn’t know what a Luna Trial meant? It was death wrapped in sugar-coated words. Death wrapped in pack politics. Murder without consequences, and he accepted…I don’t know how far I walked, but my legs ached as I stepped into the grand hall. The room was empty; the ministers had long departed, and there he stood over the giant war front, his eyes gazing down at the map and Varik reporting goddess knows what by his side.“Kael,” I growled. My voice came out pained and desperate, unlike what I had expected.Kael stiffened. His hands dropped the marker he held, and his features softened, but only for a brief second.“What are you doing here?” he asked.“Leave.” I turned to Varik, who nodded and rushed out without hesitation.“You shouldn’t be here,” Kael murmured, picking back the marker.“How could you?”“I had to.”“You had to… or you wanted to see how much this pawn of yours can take?”

Final outcome

Third PersonBy sundown, the arena was packed like never before. Even in the history of festivity, Darkmoon had never gathered so many in its numbers. Whispers filled the air, some laughing at the irony of today’s event, while others felt pity for the woman who was about to walk into her disgrace.The ministers and elders of the pack were the judges, and the rules were fixed. Seated at the top, where all was visible within their line of sight, were the ministers and elders, and beside Prime Minister Caswell was an empty seat generously reserved for his pompous daughter.The envoys of the Frost Fang pack came out in their numbers and seated on the eastern side of the arena. They judged the trial even before it began. Whispers rippled through the crowd like sharp blades.“I doubt she will make it past two minutes,” a beta female whispered from the corner as the crowd cheered even harder.“I know, right? Such a pity. If I were her, I would return to my people,” an omega male answered fro

A Proper Luna

Liora AshwinHearing them chant… Luna, Luna, Luna didn’t make me feel any better; rather, it made my guts churn. For a second, I felt disgusted. It took my life on the line and that of my child to have the majority of the pack appreciate me as their Luna… wasn’t this beyond pathetic?And Kael, he was there like the man he ought to have been, but at the moment, I felt like he was doing everything out of duty. I leaned on him; a rush of dizziness engulfed me, and truthfully, I was happy he reached me when he did.“Are you okay?” he whispered slowly.I could only nod, trying to catch my breath.On the judges’ stand, the ministers and elders stood shocked and bewildered. They had not expected me to win, not when they had gone to great lengths to keep me from winning.At the entrance of the arena, the gates opened, and Bianca and Nora rushed in, tears staining their faces and eyes puffy.“Luna…” she choked, tears streaming down their cheeks.“We won,” I whispered, and they smiled so bright

The Master and the Puppet

Third PersonAfter the mighty fall of Alios, the arena soon scattered. Most of the crowd was surprised but pleased at how the Luna proved herself, but a set of people were more enraged.Back in the mansion of the Prime Minister, the door slammed open, and five angry bald-headed men marched in like they were coming from war.“How could this happen?” Senior Minister Haris Valen roared. “Isn’t she pregnant? How could she have knocked out Alios?”Prime Minister Caswell ran his hand across his bald head. He had not seen this outcome in a million years. Now his plans of using Frost Fang as leverage were gone.“There must be a way to make him dispose of her?” he whispered.For a second, all five men sat down, their hands to their grayed chins.“She was banished… so making her leave on that claim is possible,” Elder Brom Hale whispered.“Yes,” Elder Orwin Pike followed. “And the Alpha will have no choice but to marry Yella, and all our problems will be solved.”Prime Minister Caswell’s face d
