All Chapters of The Alpha’s 90-Day Luna: Ruin of the Alpha (Book 2): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Zephaniah is walking away from the pack!?""Of course he’s leaving H World. If he stays in that den, he’s just waiting for the Alpha to snap his neck.""But if he abandons the agency, what happens to Ava Hart?""She’s still bound by blood and contract to the Pierce name."As the news of Zephaniah’s resignation rippled through the hall, the murmurs of the reporters turned into a low roar. No one blamed him. He’d already spilled the agency's darkest secrets. Whether the pack believed every word or not, the stain on Sloane Pierce’s reputation was permanent. Every scandal he’d unearthed would be used by rival territories until Sloane was completely picked clean.Since Zephaniah had bared his teeth at Sloane in front of the world, there was no going back to that territory."Zephaniah, do you think any other agency will take you in now?" Sloane’s voice was a jagged glass shards, sharp but trembling. "You betrayed the pack’s interests and vomited our secrets. You’re dead in this industry!"

"Bring me that scrap of parchment from the waste," Blake Turner growled to one of his enforcers. "I want the scent of the girl who dropped it. Find her den."The girl was wide-eyed when Blake appeared at her door. Thinking he was an emissary from me, she practically pulled him inside."Did you come to tell me the Turner cub will be saved? Is Ava Hart coming?"Blake’s lips curved into a predatory line as he took in the girl’s desperation. "Tell me the pup's status. How deep is the rot?"The girl sank onto her worn sofa, her hands trembling. "I’ve known Xiner since we were cubs. We traveled across the sea together, but her essence began to fade. Her inner organs are failing, and we found no compatible donor in any pack."She wiped a stray tear. "Eventually, we returned to our home soil. That’s when my brother brought Ava to the clinic for a blood-link test. Out of every wolf we screened, Ava was the only one whose spirit and blood were a perfect match. She gave her word then."The girl

"But look at me—just a low-ranking student. How would I even cross paths with a Shadow Alpha like Connor?"I felt the weight of Xiner’s words. She was chasing a ghost, but she was my pack-sister. "I don't have ties to the high-stakes entertainment packs," I said, trying to bolster her spirit, "but I can pull some strings using my family’s lineage. I’ll try, Xiner.""But the head of Vale Media... he’s a legend. He stands at the apex of the mountain. Do you really think he’d descend to speak with us?"Xiner’s head dropped, her hope flickering like a dying candle."Look," I said, squeezing her hand, "he and Ava are soul-bound in secret. Maybe he’ll listen for her sake. Though, I’ll admit, a wolf like that usually doesn't spare a glance for those of us at the bottom of the hill."Xiner offered a weary smile. "If you try, that’s enough for me.""There is one thing I don’t get," I muttered. "If Ava is mated to the most powerful wolf in the industry, why is she letting Sloane and the Nova St

The following sunrise, the airwaves were thick with a live feed from the New York tarmac. Shifters and humans alike stood frozen before screens as reporters barked over the sound of high-altitude winds."I have covered pack wars and territorial disputes for decades, but I have never witnessed a hunt like this. Thousands have gathered at the arrivals gate—not to welcome a hero, but to bay for the blood of a traitor."The camera panned over a sea of snarling faces and jagged signs. The reporter checked her watch, her scent betraying a hint of nerves. "Ava Hart’s flight is due to land in less than twenty minutes. Security is bracing for a riot. For the sake of civility, we can only hope she makes it to her vehicle before the pack closes in."Inside the quiet sanctuary of the Vale Hills Estate, Lisa clicked the screen dark. She turned to find me by the window, calmly trimming the thorns from a bundle of fresh roses."The law-wolves have delivered the scroll. Your link to the Nova Star Age

Every wolf under the Vale Media banner—whether they were out on the hunt or deep in their dens—found themselves cornered by the yapping of relentless reporters. Aside from the high-ranking scouts who were far too occupied to bark back, the entire pack stood firm. They voiced an unbreakable loyalty to the territory and a sharp hunger to see me rise.It was a display of absolute dominance. It proved that in these woods, Connor Vale was the only Alpha who truly mattered.The moon was high when Connor finally crossed the threshold of the Vale Hills Estate. He found me in the training hall, my skin slick with sweat as I pushed through my routine in thin gear. He watched me from the shadows for a long beat. I knew he was worried the mountain air would chill me, but instead of coddling me, he shed his own layers and joined the fray.I was twenty-six now. In a world that favored the young pups, staying at the peak of my form required more blood and sweat than most could fathom. Connor’s eyes
