James’s POV

Before I knew what was happening, a deep, sharp pain tore through my stomach. It wasn’t just a normal ache—it felt like something inside me was twisting, burning, eating me alive from the inside out. I barely managed another step before my legs gave out, my whole body suddenly weak. My hands clutched at my stomach as if I could physically hold back the pain, but it didn’t help. Nothing helped.

“Shit,” I breathed, my vision swimming.

Ahead of me, I saw Alpha Ezekiel and the other elders leaving the office, their voices blending together, distant, like they were underwater. I tried to call out, but my throat tightened, my voice barely more than a whisper.

My head spun. The hall around me blurred, the walls shifting in and out of focus. My knees wobbled, barely keeping me upright.

I was losing it.

A fresh wave of pain hit me, and I nearly collapsed. I gritted my teeth, breathing hard, but even that didn’t help. My insides felt like they were being torn apart. A sharp, bu

  • A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse   Chapter 107

    Ezekiel’s POVEverything just happened so fast and sudden. One moment, I was finishing up a meeting with my elders, and the next, James was about to say something when he just collapsed.I stood there for a second, completely stunned. James never—never—fell sick. Not once in all the years I’d known him. My Beta was as strong as they came, a man who could take down three warriors without breaking a sweat. But now? He was on the floor, completely still, his breathing shallow. My heart pounded.“Get the healer! Now!” I ordered, my voice sharp, cutting through the stunned silence.The warriors in the room moved immediately, two of them running out while the others gathered around James. I knelt beside him, shaking his shoulder. “James! Wake up!”He didn’t move.A sharp anger bubbled in my chest, but I pushed it down. Anger wouldn’t help him right now. My eyes scanned his face—he wasn’t sweating, but his skin was too pale. I clenched my jaw. Was it something he ate?I stood up, turning tow

    Ezekiel’s POVI was still all fuming in my office, my hands clenched so tight my knuckles turned white. My jaw ached from how hard I was grinding my teeth. I couldn't take this shit anymore. James was lying unconscious, and I needed to know what the hell had been done to him. Someone had to pay.I slammed my fist on my desk, the loud thud echoing through the room. The guards standing at attention barely flinched—they were used to my temper by now."Get all the maids. Now." My voice was sharp, cutting through the tense silence.The guards exchanged a glance, but they didn't question me. They knew better. Within minutes, I heard the hurried footsteps outside, whispers of fear trailing in the air as the maids were gathered. The door swung open, and they were ushered in, their faces pale with dread.I rose from my chair slowly, letting my burning gaze settle on each of them. Some were trembling, others had their heads bowed so low their chins nearly touched their chests."One of you put p

  • A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse   Chapter 109

    Kailey’s POV Kailey went back to her room, still in shock. She always knew Cecilia was cruel, but poisoning someone? That was a whole new level of evil. She paced back and forth, her hands clenched into fists. She had to make sure Ezekiel got rid of Cecilia before it was too late. If she didn’t do something soon, her son, Auren—the rightful heir to the throne—might not survive Cecilia’s wickedness.She let out a deep sigh and sat on the edge of her bed, her mind racing. "This has gone too far," she muttered, shaking her head. "If Ezekiel doesn’t stop her, who knows what she’ll do next?"A soft knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts. She frowned. "Come in."The door opened slowly, and Elyra stepped inside. The mage wore her usual flowing robes, her silver hair resting over her shoulders. Her sharp green eyes studied Kailey with concern."Kailey," Elyra said calmly. "Your emotions are all over the place. What happened?"Kailey exhaled sharply. "It’s Cecilia. She poisoned Jame

    Kailey’s POV I went back to Ezekiel's office. As soon as I walked in, I saw him sitting with a group of people, deep in discussion. From what I could pick up, they were talking about his upcoming trip for the festival preparations. Their faces were unfamiliar—I’d never seen them before. But judging by the way they were dressed, they looked like royalty.I froze, realizing I might have interrupted something important. “Oh, sorry for barging in,” I said quickly, turning to leave.Ezekiel’s head shot up, and he stopped me before I could take another step. “No, Kailey. Come in.”He stood up, walked over to me, and gently took my hand. Without saying a word, he led me further into the room. His grip was firm but comforting. Then, right there in front of everyone, he placed his hand on my waist and pulled me close to his side.“This is Kailey,” he said, his voice loud and proud. “My Luna.”Warmth spread through me instantly. The way he said it, the way he held me—it made my heart race. I c

    Kailey’s POV I barely had time to react before Ezekiel locked the office door and pulled me into a deep, urgent kiss. His hands gripped my waist, firm but desperate, as if he was afraid to let go. My fingers curled into his shirt, holding on just as tightly. My heart pounded, not just from the kiss but from everything left unsaid between us.When he finally pulled back, his breath was heavy, his forehead resting against mine. "Just fucking forget about her," he muttered, his voice low and rough.I blinked, my mind still spinning from the kiss. "Ezekiel...""No." He shook his head, his grip tightening slightly. "I don't wanna talk about her. Not now. Not ever."I swallowed hard, searching his eyes. "But we have to, Ezekiel. You know we do."His jaw clenched. "No, Kailey. What we have to do is move forward. Together."I exhaled sharply, pulling away just enough to put some space between us. "How can we move forward if there are still things between us? If there are still ghosts from th

    Ezekiel’s POV It had been a few months since Kailey became fully integrated into my pack. At first, I didn’t think much of it. She was strong, a fighter, someone I could count on. But then something strange started happening. Or rather, something stopped happening.For as long as I could remember, every full moon, like clockwork, I’d lose control. The curse forced me into my wolf form, making me nothing more than a beast. No thoughts, no control. Just pure instinct. It was something I had learned to live with.But lately... it hadn’t happened.For the past month, the full moon came and went, and I stayed in control. No forced shift. No blackouts. Nothing.I didn’t understand why.And that’s why, as the first rays of sunlight slipped through my window, I decided to find out. The priestess would have answers. She had to.I got dressed quickly, pulling on a simple black shirt and dark pants. As I was fastening my belt, I heard a knock at my chamber door.“Come in,” I called, tightening

    Cecilia’s POV I was walking into the woods. My informant said he had news for me, and I couldn’t wait to hear what he had for me. I didn’t waste any time. I left the courthouse. At least now James has been injured, so there’s no way he can follow me around. Ever. I said this to myself even as I walked deeper into the woods to meet this guy. He was someone that worked at the priestess’s courtroom.The trees stretched tall and wide around me, their branches swaying slightly in the evening breeze. The scent of damp earth filled the air, mixed with the distant hint of pine. My boots crunched against fallen leaves, the sound almost too loud in the eerie silence. I pulled my cloak tighter around my shoulders, my heart beating a little faster than I’d like to admit.Then, I felt it.A presence. The prickling sensation of eyes on my back.I froze mid-step, my breath catching in my throat. Slowly, I turned my head, scanning the trees behind me. Shadows danced between the trunks, but there was

    Kailey’s POV I sat down at the wooden table and lightly tapped my fingers on the top. My mind was restless, buzzing with thoughts I couldn’t shake.Auren. My boy. My only child.I had to make sure he was safe. I had to.I kept thinking about Ezekiel's promise that James would always be by Auren's side. That wasn't enough, though. Not while Cecilia looks on. Not with the way she carried herself now, like she ruled the pack with nothing but her look. She was scary. And if I had listened to Mage, if I had never stirred her anger, maybe things would have been different. But it was too late for regrets. The only thing that counted now was Auren’s safety.The door creaked open, and I looked up, my heart racing for a split second before I saw the familiar face.“Lydia,” I breathed, motioning her inside. “Close the door.”She did as I asked, her moves quick but quiet. She was one of the few I still trusted, one of the few who hadn’t turned their back on me when everything started falling apa

    Kailey’s POV The sun was setting low in the sky, painting the whole courtyard in orange and red hues, I stood beside Ezekiel, holding Auren tightly in my arms. My heart was heavy, this was a day I had both waited for and dreaded.Ezekiel stepped forward. His face was hard, his shoulders straight. He was not my mate at this point, He was the Alpha, and today, he had to act like it.Cecilia stood before us, her hands chained, her beautiful hair messy and dirty now.Beside her, the captured rogues and Roy knelt on the ground, their heads lowered. The whole pack was gathered around, watching in silence.Ezekiel’s voice rang out strong and clear over the courtyard.“For treason against the pack, for working with our enemies, for trying to kill my son and destroy our home” he said, “I, Alpha Ezekiel, sentence Cecilia, Roy, and their allies to death.”There was no noise. No one cheered. This wasn’t a happy moment. It was a sad, painful necessity.Cecilia looked at him, her eyes burning wit

    Ezekiel's pov. The room was quiet as I sat beside Kailey at the head of the long conference table, a heavy silence hanging over us.The evening light was slipping through the tall windows, painting long shadows across the floor.Kailey’s hand rested over mine. I could feel her shaking, though she tried to hide it.We were both tired, still confused by the whole thing. I knew she must have gone through alot find the relic in the forest. Right now, We were waiting for news. News about our son, about James, about Lydia.My heart twisted every time I thought of Auren’s little face.Where was he? Was he safe?Suddenly, the heavy doors of the conference room burst open with a loud BANG.I jumped to my feet, ready to fight. But it was Cecilia.She stormed inside, her hair wild, her breathing heavy like she had been running. Her eyes widened when she saw us sitting there.“You!” she gasped, stumbling to a stop.Her face twisted for a second, like she wasn’t sure whether to be scared or angr

    Kailey’s POV. As I stood there, looking at Ezekiel, standing in front of me, I couldn't believe my eyes.“Is this really you?”I asked, tears gathering in my eyes already.“It's me,” he answered, walking towards me. “You saved me. Suddenly I heard a voice, it was the voice I recognized, the couch of the forest spirit. “you have saved him. He would have lived as the Withered Stag for the rest of his life.” I glanced around and could see the warriors all on their horses around.I frowned, looking toward the mist “What about the relic.?” “There is no relic, the solution was your blood, the only way to save him was the blood of his mate.” the spirit muttered. After a while, there was a snap from the spirit and then it looked like we were all teleported from that area of the forest as the next thing I saw was Ezekiel and I, together with the rest of the warriors standing at a familiar road that leads out of the forest.The road that was once confusing now looks really familiar, of cour

    James pov. The next morning, we decided to head north just as the message Lydia had dropped indicated. We moved fast through the trees. My boots hit the ground hard as I ran, sword in hand. Jon was right beside me, and the rest of our warriors followed close behind.We had tracked them here finally. Lydia and Auren were close. I could feel it, I don't think they were far off anymore. We had increased our pace the very moment we stepped out of the cave, ready and motivated to find Lydia. She had dropped the message and it was to show us that we are on the right track. Suddenly, we burst into a clearing, and there they were.Cecilia stood proudly in the middle, her long red cloak flapping in the wind. Beside her was Damon, the rogue leader, tall and strong, his arms crossed like he didn’t have a care in the world.Roy was there too, along with a handful of rough-looking rogues. They had Lydia and Auren held at the back, tied up and guarded by two rogues with knives.My heart slam

    Lydia's pov. After passing the night in the cave, I knew it would be safe if I move on, the cave was too open, But before that, I had come up with a plan by carving some clues on the wall. Right now I was already on the move with Auren. The Morning light slipped through the tall trees as I hurried through the forest, I held Auren's hands. Every step I took felt heavier, every breath harder. We had been moving since before dawn, and my legs were tired, but I couldn’t stop. Not yet.“We're almost there, baby,” I whispered to him, even though I didn’t know where there was. I only knew we had to keep going north. Away from the pack house. Away from Cecilia.The forest was cold and damp. My boots squished in the soft ground, and twigs snapped under my feet. I tried to move quietly, but it was hard, I glanced over my shoulder. No one. Only the endless trees.I hugged Auren closer and kept moving.Then, up ahead, I heard something, it was a rustle in the bushes. I froze.My heart hamme

    James pov. We have been in the forest for a long time but still there was no sign of Lydia and Auren.However the sun was starting to sink behind the hills when we finally saw it, a large, dark hole in the side of a rocky hill. I slowed my horse and raised my hand, signaling for everyone behind me to stop.“That’s it,” I said, staring at the cave. I didn’t know how I knew. I just... did. My heart was pounding in my chest. My instincts were screaming at me, Lydia was here.Jon rode up beside me. His face was serious, his dark eyes scanning the entrance. “You sure?” he asked quietly.I nodded. “I can feel it. She’s been here. I know it.”Jon didn’t argue, he trusted me, the same way I trusted him.The rest of the warriors waited behind us. Some of them looked nervous. Others just looked tired. We had been searching all day, riding hard through the forest and hills. However now, standing here, I felt a new rush of energy.“She’s close,” I said, tightening my grip on the reins.Jon l

    James pov As we rode, I kept thinking about Lydia. I remembered the way she had smiled, the way she had looked at Auren like he was her whole world.I wasn’t going to let anything happen to them. Not on my watch.We had both promised Kailey and Ezekiel that we would protect and keep Auren safe. Though Auren wasn't safe, there was still a chance he was with Lydia and all I needed to do right now was find them and bring them back home to the pack house safe and sound.The tracks led us over hills and through narrow valleys. More than once, we had to stop and search when the trail grew faint.Each time, Jon was right there beside me, helping me pick up the scent again.“They’re moving fast,” Jon said after a while, wiping sweat from his forehead. “But not too fast. They’re slowing down.”I nodded. “They’re tired. Hungry, probably.”“And scared,” Jon added quietly.I didn’t like hearing that. Fear could make people careless. Lydia was smart, but if she was tired enough, scared enough, s

The whole place have already been cleaned up l, the warriors, guards and maids have done a very good job, the pack wolves too have put heads to getter in helping to make sure the pack house was back to the way it was before Although there was no way it could go back to the way it was in just a day of cleaning, it had improved.The blood on the walls of the pack house has been cleaned, the casualties l, dead bodies had been taken away, the whole place now looked like there was neve a battle at the pack house. However, the only thing that gave away the fact that there had been a battle, was the broken walls of some of the buildings around including the pack house. That was something that had already been looked into and should be in order in three to five days. Right now, I stepped out of the pack house, the cool air hitting my face. The sun was already high, but it didn’t do much to warm the uneasiness sitting heavy in my chest. Oh yes,I had a lot in my chest m, a whol

    Cecilia's pov. After the chit chat with Damon, we came to a conclusion that we would carry on with the plan. Right now, The morning air was cold as I pulled the black mask over my face. The mask was part of the plan as we needed our identity hidden from the elders. I could feel the dampness of the forest around us, the ground still wet from last night’s rain. Birds chirped softly in the distance, but their songs did little to settle the nerves crawling up my spine.I looked to my left where Damon adjusted his own mask. His sharp eyes met mine for a moment, and he gave me a small nod. It was time, he didn't voice it oh yeah but I could read his expression.Behind Damon, six of his men moved silently through the trees. They were all dressed in dark clothes, their footsteps quiet on the muddy ground. I followed close behind Damon as we made our way toward the old trail that led into the deeper parts of the forest.“They should be coming around the bend any minute now,” Damon whisp
