All Chapters of The Alpha Who Executed His Luna : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Anna's POV "We cannot officially approve such sweeping measures without a vote".Lord Cassel, a tall graying man strode to the front, hands clasped behind his back."Then vote", I said simply.Lord Cassel blinked as he was taken aback. But I continued before hesitation could weaken my voice."Does anyone here truly believe our enemy will wait politely outside our walls until your paperwork is finished?".Heavy silence issued.Then Lord Cassel cleared his throat. "What do you propose beyond the defensive layers?"."Proactivity", I answered instantly.I gestured, and three markers moved outward from the city border."I'm establishing a twenty-four hour runner command or messengers stationed in every outer district with strict orders to report troop shifts, rune fluctuations, or unexplained magical disturbances"."That has never been done", Lady Reina murmured."Exactly", I said. "History shows we always react. This time,we anticipate".One by one, the council members looked at one anot

Henry's POV I walked to the training grounds in the crisp chill of the night.It was empty at this hour and was only lit by torches and the moonlight. I stripped off my shirt, grabbed a practice blade, and tore into the nearest wooden dummy wth every ounce of pent-up fury.Sweat dripped down my spine and my muscles burned. My wolf restlessly snarled in my head, pacing.I striked, dodged, swung, and broke as another dummy splintered under the force of my blow. I tossed the blade aside and shifted into fistwork sending one punch after punch with sweat flying while my breath heaved.My knuckles split open but I didn't care. The only sound I could hear was my own ragged breathing and the sharp crack of my fists hitting the wood. At last, I felt dizzy and my chest heaved as I dropped to one knee.I leaned back, staring up at the moon."I'm going to find them", I whispered into the night. "Elara. My pups. Or whatever fate gave us. Chrysantha won't stop". I muttered. "But neither will I".

Henry...The mention of that name from her mouth cut deeper than any blade ever could. She slowly turned to meet my gaze as the name hung in the air like poison. For a heartbeat, I think I forgot how to breathe.My arms dropped from her waist instantly out of reflex as if she had burned me. She looked at the pups who were already falling asleep before spinning away in a way that seemed almost desperate."I ..I should rest", she murmured in a tight voice. "Please have the servants watch over the pups".She didn't wait for my answer before lifting her chin and walking out of the nursery with stiff shoulders, and steps too quick it screamed 'guilt is clinging to her like a second skin'.And I didn't stop her.The door closed softly behind her, leaving silence and my rage simmering beneath my ribs.I stood still with my jaw clenched hard enough to crack my teeth while staring at the space she had just vacated. The echo of that name beat through my skull like a war drum.Of all things and

Elara's POV For a breath, Henry and I just stood locked in a silence that felt far too intimate for the battlefield of emotions raging inside me.The sense slammed back into my skull.No.No, no, no.Henry could not see me here. He could see me openly practicing magic especially in a district close to Moon Shield territory. Not with Damion already suspicious and Chrysantha undoubtedly plottiyin the shadows. And especially not with the upcoming war between both our packs. Henry took a step then another, before I snapped around and muttered the first spell that came to mind. The spell was a cloaking transformation chant Seraphina had warned was unpredictable."Sireth ra'avel morse, veil my flesh, mask my core".The words slipped out in the ancient tongue and the spell surged, wrapping around me like a tidal wave.My bones shifted and my scent dulled. My hair drained its colour into a muted brown while my eyes darkened, height shrinking slightly until my reflection would be unfamiliar

I had made a terrible mistake.It was a reckless, foolish, heart-shredding mistake. I should never have gone to the cliff side fields and I should never have let Henry see me, not even under a spell that was to disguise me.But panic and longing had mixed into something harzardous, and now I as paying for it. And the universe...no, fate was cruel enouyto complicated everything within seconds.One moment I was trying to walk away from Henry without raising suspicion and the next, Vampires stepped out of the trees, surrounding us.The cliff side suddenly felt too small and exposed. The air turned cold as though the night itself had stopped breathing. This was exactly the kind of place Vampires liked to hunt. I had known that and I had even been burned about it in my training.Yet somehow, under the spell's glamour and my frustrated determination to be alone, I had forgotten the danger. And that was stupid, careful, even reckless if me.I knew that I couldn't even use my powers because i
