In the Luna's Regalia

Nora’s POV“My Lady.”Rya’s voice pulled me gently from sleep.My eyes opened slowly. I stretched beneath the covers and glanced toward the window. The sky was still dark, dawn had not yet claimed the horizon.Another knock followed.“My Lady,” she called again, urgency obvious in her tone.I rose from the bed and crossed the room. “Rya,” I said as I opened the door.She bowed. “Good morning, Luna. Forgive me for disturbing you.”“Speak.”“It is a message from Alpha Fauz.” She extended a sealed parcel bearing the Pacesetters’ royal crest.My heart skipped a beat. I took it and returned to my seat.What now? Is it another sanction? Is he displeased that I sought permission from his mother?I broke the seal and unfolded the single sheet inside. His cursive writing was unmistakable. Each word landed with deliberate weight.“I am to present myself as Luna for today,” I murmured, irritation slipping into my voice before I remembered Rya was still there.She bowed and withdrew at once.I st

The Show is over

Nora’s POVI walked beside Alpha Fauz, with Alpha Mark on his other side. Guards and attendants followed in orderly formation.Fauz remained composed, and distant. His expression shifted only when addressing Mark. Mark examined everything with interest. He asked about agricultural systems, expansion plans, border patrols, rogue suppression, healing systems, training grounds, and the structure of an elite army.Fauz answered each inquiry with precision. Strategy rolled off his tongue effortlessly. He was decisive, and well grounded, he was every inch the Alpha his Pack needed.I spoke only when addressed. When I did, my tone was steady, and my words deliberate.Fauz maintained his rigidity towards me, he did not look at me, or brush against me.At the armory, our arms nearly touched as we turned a corner. He adjusted his stride deliberately, widening the space between us.By the time we returned to the Alpha's office, the sun had risen high, casting long shadows behind us.Alpha Mark a

Confirm and Capture

Gaius’ POVFrom my position, I watched the forbidden paths and lines where our territory blurred into the Dreamer Pack’s lands. The trees stood tall, their branches tangled like warning fingers. No one crossed that stretch without reason. No one.Alpha Fauz had given a clear directive. Confirm with your own eyes before interfering. Capture her on the scene and drag her down.Just the same way we weren't clear about the point of meeting, we were also not clear about the timing.Since the dawn was missed I knew we would have to stay till dusk. During the day, Nora was supposed to be by Alpha Fauz's side when Alpha Mark visits.I trusted my men, but I trusted my instincts more.Through the pack link, I checked each position one last time. They were placed strategically. Every exit was covered.At about twilight, the air became thick. I got a gut feeling, something about the air felt expectant.Suddenly, one of my men linked me up. “A hooded man has been identified. He is strolling aroun

Report

Fauz’s POVMark was speaking about expansion corridors when I realized I had not heard a single word he had said.His voice droned on about trade routes, cropping systems and grain reserves for mutual benefits for both packs. I responded where required. To an outsider, I was composed and fully present, but inside, I was at war.I had been on an edge since the courier who brought Pitman's letter turned up dead even before interrogation. This wasnt just a simple conspiracy. The mastermind was petty but also skilled, using Nora's betrayal to fuel the fire. Knowing this set my heart ablazeNora walked at my side in her ceremonial gown. Her steps aligned with mine, with her chin lifted in quiet dignity. She spoke only when addressed, and when she did, her answers were intelligent, and appropriate. She embodied everything a Luna should be.Which only sharpened the blade turning inside me. If she were guilty, she was an exceptional actress, but If she were innocent, then I was the one betray

Where were You

Fauz’s POV“A woman appeared at the edge of the forbidden path…” Gaius began and my heart sank. She is guilty to the very end.“Did you drag her down?” I asked, swallowing hard.Gaius shifted, unease all over him. “...A woman appeared at the edge of the forbidden paths. She wore an off-white coloured gown that covered up to her knee length. She met a hooded man. The man bore Pitman’s scent…”My pulse thundered in my ears.“And?”“They spoke briefly. We could not hear the exchange without exposing our position. When the hooded man departed toward the Dreamer border, we moved to seize the woman.”“You moved,” I repeated, my voice turning lethal.“She fought.”One of the men behind him shifted uneasily. The bruise along his throat darkened against his skin.“She fought?” I stepped forward. “You mean to tell me that a single woman slipped through trained warriors?”“She was skilled and prepared. She even had silver dust with her,” Gaius replied evenly. “...She fled toward the brooks. We

Proven Guilty

Alpha Fauz's POVMy fury did not dissipate. Rather her feigned innocence made me more enraged.“Gaius!double the guards on her chambers. No one enters or exits without my approval.”Nora stiffened. “Alpha…”I faced her again.“You will remain here,” I said evenly. “Until I determine the truth.”Shock flickered across her features.“Determine what truth?” she demanded, hurt, finally bleeding through her composure.“Gaius.”“Yes,” Gaius answered. His eyes moved over Nora from head to toe, as though she were evidence and not a woman standing half-clothed before her Alpha.Something inside me collapsed.For one fleeting second, relief had dared to bloom when I met her here in her chambers, unarmed, and unprepared. Now that fragile hope melted into something dreadful. I forced my face into stone, and stepped toward her.“Where were you after the meetings?” I asked again, my voice harsh and commanding.She flinched. “I told you,” she said, swallowing her humiliation. “I returned here after

Despair, but not broken

Nora’s POV“My Alpha…” I called, but the door clamped shut behind Alpha Fauz.For several breaths, I could not move.Slowly, the corridor noise faded until it was only me, Rya frozen near the wall, and the silence swallowing everything.Though Rya remained stoic and unreadable, she could not look at me.My fingers trembled against the fabric I had hastily pulled over myself.The place where Alpha Fauz’s hand had almost reached for my throat burned hotter than the rest of my skin. I could still see it — the fury in his eyes, the restraint, the fracture beneath it.The revelation had broken him. If only he knew it was all lies.“Did you meet Pitman today?”The accusation replayed in my head, slamming into me like a sledgehammer.Slowly, I sank onto the edge of the displaced bed, staring at the chaos around me. Drawers half-opened, cushions scattered, the bed and vanity displaced.My privacy had been violated.He had nearly walked in on me naked, his guards standing behind him, their eye

Secret of The Night

Fauz’s POVNight settled over the packlands, but it brought no peace. Shadows stretched over the walls, making the silence impressive. My chambers were dim, lit only by a single lamp near the desk.I had dismissed everyone. Even Gaius.I wanted no counsel, no logic, no interruption. Just the truth. If it was the truth.I turned the ring between my fingers. The Dreamer’s star was unmistakable, but the engraving at its center… the intertwined initials, P and N, mocked me.This was personal and intimate. My jaw tightened and I closed my fist around it.I remembered the shock on Nora's face all through.“I chose you.”The words replayed now, slicing through my head like a mocking bird. I rose abruptly and walked toward the window.The forest stretched beyond the palace grounds, endlessly dark. Somewhere within it, my men had reported a meeting. A hooded man and my mate!My grip tightened.Oh, what she almost made me do! I had almost…I exhaled sharply.My hand had nearly wrapped around he

In confinement

Nora’s POVMorning came like it has no worries. Fragments of the previous night clung to me like a thorn in my flesh.Maids moved around carefully, helping with my morning routine. No one dared to speak unless spoken to. Even Rya’s actions were more reserved than usual. I could see pity radiating beneath her frigid eyes.She was my major witness, but she was just a maid, her testimony held no ground in the face of such dangerous accusation. She was silenced.Despite my despair, I carried myself with grace.I had just dismissed the last maid when a knock sounded at the outer door. Rya moved to answer it immediately.It all went still until she returned a moment later, followed by a middle-aged man dressed in dark scholarly robes. His hair was streaked with gray, neatly bound at the nape of his neck. An assistant trailed behind him, arms full of books and scrolls.Who are they and why are they here? I looked at them questioningly.The man bowed stiffly, “My Lady.” His tone was respectfu

Confronting Gaius

Alpha FauzAn Alpha must not be found wanting, but today, I needed a break. My head felt light and my vision was hazy. I had no wink of sleep all night. I got down to my morning routine, and in no time I sat at the dining table to eat. The food tasted like sand in my mouth. I would have condemned the meal, but not when it was cooked by Becca, the best cook around here.Nay… that has changed. Nora is up to the task too, the thought landed uninvited, and I pushed it out of my mind.The previous night was one of my darkest nights. My mate was caught in a clandestine meeting with a rival, and my most loyal servant turned out to be an infidel.There was nothing conclusive, but I bet there was nothing good about Gaius stealing into forbidden boarders. Thinking about it made me sick to the bones.…And why is everyone quiet? A courier turned up dead, the patrol in the borders, they were loud enough to make the Grand Alpha and elders burst in on me. But they were still as if nothing had happ
