9: Luna Missing (3)

Jacob****For a moment, I simply stood there, staring at the pristine white sheets. They did not even look like they’d been slept in. My mind scrambled for an explanation. It didn’t make sense. She had been here last night—Elder Miriam herself had assured me she would stay until the worst of the bond-breaking effects had passed. Yet the room looked untouched, as if no one had been here at all.I turned sharply. “Elder Miriam!” I called, my voice rough with urgency. She arrived moments later, her expression calm, as she studied my face“Where is she?” I demanded, my voice sharp and hoarse. “She’s not here.”Miriam’s brow furrowed slightly, but she remained unflappable. “Krista is stubborn,” she said simply, her tone almost dismissive. “She must have gone back to her room.”Her nonchalance grated against my nerves. “Gone back to her room?” I echoed, disbelief sharpening my words. “In her condition? As weak as she looked?”Miriam didn’t answer, and her silence only made the unease grow.

10: No Blessings (1)

Jacob****Two Years LaterThe mirror reflected a man who looked like a king. I knew the truth, though—I didn’t feel like one. The elaborate gold embroidery on my deep crimson jacket shimmered under the glow of the overhead light. My shoulders were draped with a wolf-pelt mantle, symbolizing my role as Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, and the ceremonial insignia of my lineage was pinned at my chest. Every seam and stitch was perfect. Yet inside, I felt like a hollow shell.I adjusted the high collar of my jacket, smoothing out a wrinkle that wasn’t really there. My hair, slicked back meticulously, shone with oil. The few curls that had escaped framed a face that should have been brimming with confidence. Instead, my reflection mocked me with eyes that carried nothing but exhaustion. This wasn’t how it was supposed to feel—not the day of my mating ritual, not the moment where I was meant to step forward with pride.Laurel had done her part, hadn’t she? For two years, she’d stood by my side,

10: No Blessings (2)

Jacob****The evening air was thick with excitement as Laurel and I stepped out of the house, surrounded by our staff members. Dressed in ceremonial attire, they looked every bit the proud wolves of the Red Moon Pack. Their garments gleamed under the soft glow of lanterns as we made our way to the great hall.The hall itself was already an impressive structure, its high ceilings and arched windows showcasing the craftsmanship of generations past. Tonight, it was transformed into something even grander. Ribbons of red and silver fabric draped from the rafters, mimicking the moonlight and blood that symbolized our pack’s strength. Lanterns hung in clusters, their soft light casting shadows on the walls. The floor had been swept clean and adorned with petals of crimson roses, their scent mingling with the faint tang of the forest that seeped in through the open doors.It should have felt magical, and for everyone else, I’m sure it did. But for me, it was all muted, like I was observing

10: No Blessings (3)

Jacob ****Then it was her turn. She stepped closer, holding out a pendant carved from bone. The image of a wolf howling at the moon was etched into its surface, the details so fine it almost seemed alive.“This pendant,” Laurel said, fastening it around my neck, “is a reminder of the Alpha you are. Strong, loyal, and always guided by the moon.”I nodded, my throat tightening as I murmured my thanks. The ache in my chest had grown heavier, making it hard to breathe, let alone think, but I hid it as best I could.With the gift exchange complete, we moved on to the final and most important step: the blessing of the Moon Goddess. Without her approval, the ritual would be meaningless, no matter how many vows or gifts we exchanged.The pack members trailed behind us as we left the great hall, following Elder Matthias and the other Elders toward the sacred grove at the edge of our territory. The grove was a place of power, its center illuminated by a break in the canopy where moonlight pou

10: No Blessings (4)

Jacob*Laurel’s raw sobs ripped through the air, sending an uneasy chill down my spine. Her cries cut through the silence of the grove like a knife. I stood frozen, watching as one of the elders, a woman whose name I couldn’t even remember through my shock, entered the grove and wrapped Laurel in a tight embrace. Her words of comfort were barely audible to me, lost under Laurel’s cries. My chest ached. The dull, persistent pain of my severed bond with Krista was now joined by an overwhelming sense of guilt. I didn’t know yet, but somehow, this was my fault.I wanted to say something—anything—but what could I say? I’d failed her. I’d failed the pack. I’d failed myself.More elders arrived, drawn by Laurel’s wails. Their concerned whispers filled the grove. Elder Matthias was among them, his expression somber as he approached. He paused beside me, his brows furrowing as he surveyed the scene. His sharp eyes flicked between Laurel and me before settling on Elder Lenore. “What’s happene

11: Beginning of the End (1)

Jacob ****The night air was thick as I left the grove, my thoughts as scattered as this unfortunate ritual. I was relieved to see the clearing in front of the grove was empty. It seemed the elders had taken it upon themselves to dismiss everyone. Small mercies. The thought of how the pack would react to the moon goddess’ ultimatum made me wince. This was not the kind of news that would boost the pack’s mood, and with the recent whispers about rogue wolves banding together, morale was already fragile.The idea of rogues organizing into something close to an army was chilling. My pack was strong—we were one of the strongest—but no pack was invincible. If those rogues ever turned their sights on us, our strength would be tested. And what then? If I fell in battle—if, goddess forbid, I were killed—my pack would be left leaderless. No Alpha. No Luna. No heir. Just chaos. The Red Moon pack would become a vacuum waiting to be filled by anyone with ambition. The thought made anger stir in m

11: Beginning of the End (2)

Jacob****Already, I was regretting coming home tonight. Laurel waited for an answer from me, her back straight and her hands clenched tightly. She wasn’t wrong in what she’d said. I was the Alpha. I should have had answers. But the goddess’ decree had thrown me in for a loop.“What would you have me do, Laurel?” I asked finally, my voice quieter than hers but no less firm. “The goddess herself rejected our bond. That’s not something I can just... fix.”

12: Sending Scouts (1)

Jacob****The air was heavy with whispers as I walked through the pack’s village. Wolves greeted me with respectful bows and murmurs of Alpha, but I saw the questioning in their eyes, the hesitation in their movements. News of my failed mating ritual had spread like a wildfire in a dry forest, and no amount of authority could mask the shame of it. I ignored the stares, forcing myself to keep my head high.

12: Sending Scouts (2)

Jacob *I rubbed at it absently, my thoughts returning to Krista for what felt like the hundredth time that day.I had said the right words, but was it possible I’d made a mistake when I broke our mate bond? The pain should have faded by now, but it hadn’t. If anything, it had grown progressively worse over the past few years. I shook my head, trying to push the thought away. What was done was done. Regret wouldn’t change the past.As I walked back to my home, I made a decision. Krista may have hidden herself well, but I was the Alpha of the Red Moon pack. I had thousands of wolves at my disposal, and she was just one person. She couldn’t stay hidden forever.Over the next few days, I took charge of the situation. The goddess has not given me a time limit to earn Krista’s forgiveness, but the longer my pack remained without a Luna, was a risk I could not justify taking. I began my search by writing to the Alphas of three neighboring packs: Silver Mist, Windstone, and NightWalker. Eac

13: Traces of Krista (1)

Jacob *The first scouting team returned over a week later in the late afternoon, their faces drawn with exhaustion but carrying a flicker of something I hadn’t seen in weeks—hope. Luckily, I had not been out patrolling when they returned.As they filed into my study, I motioned for them to sit. I straightened in my chair, forcing myself to stay calm. I had no illusions of easy answers, but I was desperate for any news, however small. Each of their faces was marked by exhaustion, but their leader, Gavin, met my gaze with a look that told me they hadn’t come back empty-handed. “Alpha,” Gavin, the team leader, said, inclining his head. “We’ve come back from the Windstone Pack. We didn’t find her, but…” He paused, his voice tight. “We found evidence that she was there.”I kept my expression neutral. “Go on.”He stepped forward, clasping his hands behind his back in a soldier’s stance. “The healer and patrol teams remembered her. A few years ago, a lone wolf matching her description was
