The Alpha’s Shadow Luna의 모든 챕터: 챕터 141 - 챕터 150

KeanuThe musk rolled through my body in a second wave, thicker than the first, and the warmth behind my ears blazed so hot I could feel my skin glowing. The need to touch her hit me like a physical force. Not gentle this time. Not the tentative, wondering reach of someone discovering something new. This was primal. Feral. The dragon beneath my skin surfacing with a possessiveness that rewrote every innocent impulse I'd ever had.I growled. The sound came from deep in my chest, low and resonant, vibrating through the space between us. She stirred against me, her eyes opening, and whatever she saw in my face made her breath catch.I shifted over her. Braced my forearms on either side of her head. Her dark hair fanned across the moss beneath us, and her green eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that told me she felt it too. The second wave. The pull that had no intention of letting either of us rest tonight.Her hands traveled up my sides, her fingers tracing the lines of muscle alo

DarienThe reports were waiting for me when I came downstairs.Cain had left them on the study desk in a neat stack, organized by urgency. The worst ones were on top. He knew I’d rather take the hit first and recover than wade through pleasantries before the punch landed.I sat down. Leah was still asleep upstairs. She’d been sleeping most of the day, her body pulling her under with an insistence that worried me more than she knew. The healer said rest was the best thing for her while we waited for the cure. Rest and no use of her powers. She was doing both, which was the only reason I could sit in this chair instead of standing over our bed counting her breaths. Which I did for the first half of the day.I opened the first report.Two more packs attacked. The Aldridge Pack and a smaller territory called Hollow Creek. Both hit overnight. Both by coordinated demon strikes. The same pattern as Clearwater. Midnight. Multiple demons. Military precision. Buildings burned. Bodies in the str

LeahI heard his voice before I opened my eyes.Keanu, talking to Darien in the hallway outside our bedroom, his words low and rushed. He was usually loud. Theatrical. The kind of person who entered a room like he was making an announcement. But the voice filtering through the door was tight, clipped, stripped of the usual performance.I blinked against the light and pushed myself upright. The room swam for a second before settling. Darien’s coffee cups were still on the bedside table. His reports were stacked in neat piles. He’d been here all day, all night, and all morning today. He’d been working beside me while I slept, and the warmth of that knowledge sat in my chest alongside the fatigue that never fully left.The door opened. Keanu walked in first, and my relief at seeing him was immediate, a loosening in my shoulders that I hadn’t realized I’d been holding since the day he left.But something was wrong.He looked the same. Mostly. The golden hair, the amber eyes, the lean build

KeanuI couldn’t wait until morning.The sky was still dark when I slipped out of the castle, the stars fading at the edges where dawn was thinking about showing up but hadn’t committed yet. The air was cool against my skin, but the heat behind my ears burned steady, the musk a constant reminder that somewhere out there, a woman was pretending I didn’t exist.I wiped behind my ears as I entered the forest. The dampness was worse today. My shirt collar was going to be ruined by noon.“Come out, come out, wherever you are.”My voice carried through the trees and dissolved into the undergrowth. The forest didn’t answer. It never did. I was starting to take it personally.“Hide and seek.” I stepped over a fallen log and ducked beneath a low-hanging branch. “It’s a fun game. I don’t mind playing. But just know, I’m going to find you.”I kept walking. Deeper. Past the first creek, past the boulder field where the moss grew thick as carpet, past the place where I’d swung on vines that now fe

 KeanuI stood at the edge of the clearing one last time.“I’ll be back tomorrow,” I said. Not a threat but a promise. “And the day after that. And the day after that. Until you’re ready to stop hiding and talk to me.”I turned and walked back toward the clearing where I could shift. The golden scales rippled across my skin as I let the transformation take me, the dragon rising from the man with a rush of heat and wind. My wings unfurled and caught the evening air, and I launched into the darkening sky, heading south toward the kingdom.Toward my sister. Who I felt was hiding something from me the same way Tempest was hiding from me, just with less forest and more stubbornness.The women in my life
