All Chapters of The moon goddess chose wrong: twice: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

NinaThe healer’s cabin smelled of dried lavender and fresh bandages. I was tired of coming here, first from the raid, then the fever, and now this.If only Enzo had come seconds later I don’t want to think about what could have happened, they wanted to sell me off after having their way, thinking of it makes my skin crawl.But none of it could drown out the memory that kept replaying behind my eyes like a cursed film reel on loop.I sat on the narrow bed, the rough wool blanket scratching my thighs, and slowly removed the blood soaked rag from my arm. The rogue’s claws had left four deep marks and blood was still coming out, despite the healer’s cream. Each tug of the fabric sent fresh fire up my nerves, but the real pain wasn’t in my arm. It was higher. Deeper. In the place where my heart used to beat for Enzo.The moment I had pushed open Cassie’s door flashed again uninvited, merciless. Her naked body sinking onto him. The way his hands had gripped her thighs like he never wanted

The healer’s hands glowed faintly silver as she pressed the last strip of enchanted cloth over the deepest gash on my side. The pain receded like a tide pulling away from shore—too fast, too clean. She tilted her head, studying me with narrowed eyes.“Never seen wounds close this quickly outside a full moon shift,” she murmured, almost to herself. “It’s the mate bond. The closer you are to him, the stronger his essence flows through you. Remarkable… and rare.”I forced a weak smile, not trusting my voice. Mate bond. The word tasted like honey laced with poison. Enzo was downstairs right now, probably fielding questions from his Beta about the rogue attack that never should have happened so close to the heart of Silverfang territory.When Enzo finally appeared in the doorway, his broad shoulders filled the frame, tension carved into every line of his face. His eyes storm gray and usually so steady flickered with something raw when they landed on me.“Let’s go home,” he said quietly.Ho

Alpha Dexter hid behind a tree just close to where Nina said they should meet.Moonlight painted the forest silver, but his eyes saw everything in shades of blood and opportunity. Below him, the happy couple strolled like lovesick pups hands laced, bodies brushing, Enzo whispering sweet nothings while Nina blushed like a virgin bride on her wedding night.Playing house, Dexter thought, lips peeling back from sharpened canines. How annoying, he sent her to spy, and she was playing happy couple.He had arrived hours earlier, slipping through the trees like smoke. The protection spell hummed around Silverfang’s border like a living thing, but it only opened for pure intentions. Good intentions. And every single wolf in Crestmoon carried venom in their hearts because he had planted it there. Years of whispered lies about how Enzo had murdered his own father, stolen sacred relics, and sold pups to humans for sport. All fabrications. All Dexter’s masterpieces. Hatred was the chain he wrappe

DexterI watched her from the bronze shadow of the founder’s statue, the morning sun warm on my back and the fountain’s spray misting the air like innocent tears. Lily Harper. Nineteen years old, freckles scattered across her nose like stars someone had carelessly tossed onto porcelain, auburn braid swinging every time she laughed at something her loud roommate said. She sat on the fountain’s edge with her knees drawn up, hugging a journalism notebook to her chest as though it were a shield against the world. Pure. So fucking pure it almost hurt to look at her she was the perfect prey.My claws itched inside the glamoured skin of my fingers she had no look of malice, no evil agenda, just wide-eyed wonder and the soft, naïve hope that the world was secretly kind.Perfect prey.I adjusted the leather satchel on my shoulder Professor Dexter Kane's. The look was perfect for me to infiltrate the school and I got what I wanted. I added wire-rimmed glasses that settled on my nose to complet

EnzoThe lower cells beneath Silverfang smelled so bad I felt bad for people locked up here, all they had was a bucket in the room and a worn out bed, as Alpha I tried my best to not to punish anyone, aside from intruders silver and wolves were hardly locked up here.The walls were so thick that it made everything hot. I walked down the stairs hearing Anthony's footsteps behind me, He had insisted on coming, claiming he needed to see his niece “with his own eyes” to make sure she was alive, before she was moved. I didn’t argue. Let him witness what his precious blood had become.Two elite guards stood at the final iron gate, eyes averted respectfully as I approached. The warded cell beyond was bathed in faint blue light from the runes carved into everysurface ancient symbols that drained any magic cast inside a protection spell so those who used magic couldn't use it to escape, a wise decision from the Alphas before me. Cassie had been here barely forty eight hours only Forty eight h
