The air was crisp as they set out before dawn, the distant mountains silhouetted against the dim glow of the fading moon. The night’s lingering chill clung to Lira’s skin, but she barely noticed. Her mind was too preoccupied with the weight of the journey ahead.

They were heading into the unknown—into Valenwood, a place shrouded in secrecy for over half a century.

Tobias rode beside her, his presence grounding yet heavy with unspoken thoughts. To his left, Dain remained stoic, his expression unreadable as his sharp eyes scanned their surroundings. Caius, ever the silent guardian, positioned himself protectively near Lira, while Ronan and the other warriors flanked them at a distance.

As they rode, Lira found her gaze drifting to Dain. His story had lingered in her mind ever since his reveal. A man who had spent his life protecting a land few believed existed. A man who had lost everything to Malakar’s forces.

She broke the silence. Lira took a deep breath, her hands tightening around t

    The further south they traveled, the denser the forests became. The air was thick, not just with the scent of damp earth but with something else—something unseen.Magic.Caius was the first to voice what they were all thinking. “Something is different here.”Dain, riding ahead, nodded. “This is the magic of Valenwood. It has kept us hidden for decades.”Elias frowned. “If it’s magic, then who cast it?”Dain’s expression darkened, his brow furrowing as though the question had dug into an old wound. “A witch named Morgana Blackthorne.”Lira straightened in her saddle, her eyes narrowing. “The same witch who helped my parents?”“The very same,” Dain confirmed. “She was an ally, but she was also secretive. She never revealed the true extent of her abilities, only that she had sworn to protect Valenwood.”Ronan whistled low, impressed. “A witch who can hide an entire pack for years? That’s powerful magic.”Dain nodded grimly, a haunted look crossing his face. “It is. And I learned a fracti

    Night fell faster than expected, and the group quickly set up camp in a clearing surrounded by towering pines, their tall trunks casting long shadows in the dimming light. The campfire crackled, sending orange sparks into the air, as the wind whispered through the branches above.Lira sat by the fire, the warmth from the flames doing little to chase the cold that settled deep in her bones. Her thoughts swirled—Morgana’s magic, the prophecy, and now, Dain’s unexpected revelation about his bloodline. The pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, but she felt no closer to understanding the full picture. She glanced at Dain, who stood at the edge of the camp, his back turned to the fire. He was staring into the darkness of the forest, his posture rigid, as though he was waiting for something—or someone.Unable to let the silence linger, Lira stood and moved toward him, her steps soft on the forest floor. She paused when she was close enough to speak without disturbing the quiet of

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 49 – The Heart of Valenwood

    The journey had been long and arduous, winding through dense forests and treacherous terrain. Yet, as they neared the heart of the hidden pack, something shifted.Lira felt it first—a subtle, almost imperceptible energy brushing against her skin, humming in the very air they breathed. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced. The air seemed charged with a quiet power, as though the land itself was alive, watching them. It thrummed beneath the surface of everything—the trees, the earth, the wind.Her heartbeat quickened as the sensation deepened, an instinctual pull urging her forward. She could sense something ancient here, something familiar and comforting, yet foreign, like the stirring of a long-forgotten memory.Then, through the towering trees, a village emerged. But it was not like any other.Valenwood was breathtaking.The settlement lay nestled within a vast, enchanted clearing, where nature and magic intertwined seamlessly. The trees were ancient, their trunks thick wi

    The inside of Alpha Thoren’s home was even more mesmerizing.The walls were crafted from a dark, polished wood that seemed to shimmer under the lantern light. Silver filigree markings ran along the beams, forming intricate symbols that pulsed faintly. The air carried a scent of fresh earth, herbs, and something Lira couldn’t quite place—magic.Carved stone hearths lined the hall, where fires crackled with warmth. Long tables filled the open space, with wooden benches arranged neatly, likely for gatherings or feasts.As they walked deeper into the home, the pack members moved around them with familiarity, but also reverence. Some whispered among themselves, their gazes lingering on Lira.She wasn’t sure how to feel about that.But then, something—or rather, someone—caught her attention.At the far side of the hall, seven individuals stood waiting.The witches.Three men and four women. Each with a different presence, a different aura.The oldest of them was a tall man with silver-strea

    Caius must have sensed her unease, because without a word, he reached for her hand.His warmth grounded her. His golden eyes met hers, steady and sure. “Are you alright?”Lira swallowed hard. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “I feel… watched.”Caius’s lips twitched. “Because you are.”She huffed a quiet laugh. “That doesn’t make me feel better.”He tugged her a little closer, lowering his voice. “They’re looking at you because they believe in you.”Lira exhaled sharply. “That’s what scares me.”Caius studied her, his thumb brushing lightly over her knuckles. “Why?”Lira hesitated. “Because I don’t know if I can be what they need me to be.”A moment of silence stretched between them. Then, Caius leaned in just enough that his breath brushed against her temple.“You already are.”His words sent a warmth through her chest, a quiet strength settling in her bones.She wasn’t sure if he was right. But for now, she let herself believe it.A History Woven in SecretsTheir group had been given a

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 52: The Prophecy of the Eclipse

    The Prophecy of Selene, the Mother of NightIn the days of old, when the world was young and the wolves roamed free beneath the gaze of the Mother of Night, Selene, she beheld her children—the wolves who walked beneath the silver glow of her eternal light. She saw their strength, their unity, and the harmony of the packs. But she also saw the darkness creeping at the edges of their realm, the shadow that slithered close to their hearts, waiting to strike. And so, Selene, with the voice of a thousand winds, did speak unto her children in a tongue as ancient as the stars:“A time shall come, my children, when the Dark One shall rise. His hunger shall be boundless, and his fury unrelenting. The packs shall be torn asunder, their bones broken by his mighty hand. Rivers shall run red with the blood of my own, and the strongest among you shall fall first. The weak shall be devoured, scattered to the winds. The earth shall weep, and the moon shall mourn for the souls lost to the darkness.”“

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 53 – Fate’s Looming Shadow

    Lira sat at the great wooden table in Alpha Thoren’s council chamber, the ancient parchment in front of her feeling like a weight upon her chest. The ink had faded over centuries, the edges of the paper frayed and worn by time, yet the words upon it burned in her mind with an intensity that couldn’t be ignored.“Upon the turning of the twenty-second year, the wolf shall awaken within the Alpha-born…”Her wolf. The part of her that had remained dormant all her life, locked away deep inside her. The prophecy spoke of the awakening of that primal force within her, a force that would now be thrust into the world at the most critical of times.Her heart pounded as she skimmed the parchment once more, her fingers trembling as she traced the inked letters. “As the moon waxes nearest to her birth, the bond must be sealed…”Her gaze lifted from the scroll, her eyes searching for Caius. He stood near the window, his silhouette framed by the dim light of the evening. His arms were crossed, his p

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 54 – A Love Caught in Fate’s Grip

    Lira walked through the moonlit village, her footsteps barely making a sound against the soft earth. The village of Valenwood was beautiful, timeless in a way that made her heart ache. Yet, all the beauty in the world couldn’t ease the weight pressing down on her chest.She had time.But not enough.Six weeks. Six weeks before her twenty-second birthday. The prophecy had made it clear: the wolf would awaken within her, and with it, the bond she shared with Caius would demand to be sealed. Four days after the full moon following her birthday, their bond would either be sealed or broken. She had no choice in the matter. Neither of them did.Lira’s mind raced, a flurry of questions she couldn’t quite answer. What if she wasn’t ready? What if she couldn’t handle the power the bond would bring? What if it overwhelmed her, consumed her, and tore her apart instead of giving her strength?Or worse… what if Caius suffered because of it? What if the bond between them became a chain, not a sourc

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 122: The Wind Beyond the Walls

    CAIUSI stood near the edge of the dining hall, leaning slightly against one of the carved wooden beams, my arms folded across my chest. Around me, the low hum of conversation continued—tearful reunions, long-overdue laughter, names spoken with awe and reverence. But I only had eyes for her.Lira.She was glowing in a way I hadn’t seen before. There was a joy on her face so radiant, so fiercely pure, that even Fenrir stirred inside me, watching her through my eyes with silentreverence. I felt it—the happiness that surged through her like warm spring water after a long frost. A daughter was finally reunited with her mother. A family mended after years of silence and pain.And yet, underneath that joy, I felt her sorrow too. A quiet grief pulsed in her chest, one that clung to the edges of her smile. Her heart ached for Deanna, for Elowen, for the twenty years robbed from them. Lira’s empathy ran so deep that it swallowed everything. The walls of her heart had never been built to keep

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 121: The Lost Years

    LIRAThe dining room had never felt so full.Laughter mixed with the sound of soft weeping as arms reached across the table, pulling loved ones close after years of separation. My mother, Seraphina, hadn’t let go of my hand since I entered the room, and I didn’t mind. I didn’t think I ever would. Sixteen years. She had been gone for sixteen years, and yet the warmth in her embrace was as familiar as it had always been in my dreams.But she wasn’t the only one who had returned.Dain—her loyal Beta, our protector in Valenwood—stood at the other end of the table, tears slipping silently down his weathered cheeks. In his arms was a young woman, probably the same age as me, teary eyes—his daughter, Elowen. Beside them stood Deanna, Dain’s sister, holding them both as if letting go would break her all over again.They were real. Here.Alive.“Where… where have you been?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn’t stop staring at my mom. She looked older than I remembered—there wer

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 120: The Reunion

    TOBIASThe atmosphere in Grimhowl was tense, a constant hum of alertness. After the news of strange occurrences in the surrounding lands, security had been heightened. Every patrol, every guard, every shadow in the forest was now something to watch closely. The last thing we needed was an unexpected threat.Dain had volunteered to patrol the northeastern gate. I trusted him with my life, but I still felt the need to check in, especially now. I found him standing by the entrance, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, his posture that of a seasoned warrior ready for anything."You good?" I asked as I approached him, stepping into his line of sight.He turned, giving me a nod. "I’m good. Nothing to report yet. But we both know that can change in an instant.""You need anything? Extra reinforcements? Supplies?" I offered, glancing at his weapons and the space around him.Dain shook his head. "I’m fine for now. Just keeping watch. We need to be prepared, but we’re not going to let our

    SERAPHINASixteen years.It felt surreal, standing here now, breathing in the air of freedom after so many years spent behind cold, stone walls. I could hardly believe it. The chains, the darkness, the suffocating loneliness—those memories seemed so distant now, as if they belonged to someone else. But they didn’t. I had lived it, endured it, and now, I was free.I took a deep breath, letting the scent of fresh earth and the cool breeze that swept through the trees fill my lungs. The prison walls, those oppressive structures that had confined me, felt like a lifetime away. I had no idea what awaited me in Grimhowl, but right now, none of that mattered.What mattered was Tobias. My Tobias. And my baby, Lira. She was just five years old when I had been taken, and I had missed everything—her first steps, her first words, her growth. I had missed her entire childhood. I had no idea what she was like now. Was she still my sweet little girl? Or had she changed into someone unrecognizable, h

    CELESTEThe moment Lucien spoke the words that I had hoped for, the words that cracked open the door to the man I had loved, I didn’t hesitate. Time was of the essence. I could feel the shift in the air, a subtle stirring of hope rising amidst the darkness that still clung to him. But that hope needed action.Without a word, I turned on my heels, determined to act swiftly. Lucien didn’t want to come with me—he couldn’t face the guilt, the shame of facing his sister, of confronting the wrongs he had committed. I understood that. But the weight of his past wasn’t something he could simply bury. He had to confront it, even if it was just a small part of it. But for now, I couldn’t wait for him to find the courage. I had to do this for him, for us.I made my way to the prison with purpose, my mind racing as I prepared for the task ahead. The walls felt suffocating as I neared the cold, damp cells. I had seen too much suffering here, too much darkness. The air was thick with the remnants o

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 117: Seizing the Moment

    CELESTEThe weight of the moment settled heavily around me. I could feel the deep ache in Lucien's voice, the rawness in his words. But I also felt something else—a flicker of hope, a spark of the man I had fallen in love with all those years ago.I had always known that the darkness had not completely consumed him. There were flashes of the Lucien I had known—the protector, the fierce leader, the one who had once cared for his pack as much as he cared for me. But somewhere along the way, that man had been buried beneath the shadows, the ambition, the anger. And yet, in this vulnerable moment, it felt like I could almost touch him again.I had hoped for this. I had believed in this. But now that it was real, now that I could feel the faint glimmer of the Lucien I had once known, I had to act quickly. The darkness was still lingering, gnawing at him, waiting for a moment to pull him back in. And that moment was coming soon, especially with Malakar’s influence slowly creeping into every

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 116: Regrets

    LUCIENThe black crystal pulsed softly, its shadowed depths revealing fragments of voices and stories I had no business hearing. But I listened anyway, because the truth, no matter how twisted, was all that mattered now.I could hear Morgana’s voice, her words reverberating in my head as she spoke of Malakar’s daughter and the blood that ran through Caius. The realization hit me like a bolt of lightning—Caius was the vessel. He was the one that carried the dark magic, the legacy of Malakar.It made sense. It explained the strange stirrings within me, the shadows that followed me like a distant storm, threatening to engulf everything I touched. I had always known there was something inside me, something dark and ancient. But I had never understood what it was, or how to control it.If Caius was the vessel of Malakar, then… perhaps there was a way to fix this. If Caius could be cleansed, maybe the same could be done for me. But how? How could I rid myself of the darkness that was growin

    CAUIS“All this time… I was the endgame.”I didn’t know how long the silence lasted after I said it. Maybe seconds. Maybe years. My voice echoed in my head, hollow and damning, like it belonged to someone else.I stared at the floor, hands clenched at my sides, my chest rising and falling too fast. My lungs couldn’t seem to hold enough air. Because now I knew.The shadow that moved when I marked Lira.The whispers I tried to ignore.The coldness that clung to my bones like frost…It was never outside of me.It was me.Or at least a part of me. A part I never asked for.“Malakar…” I whispered, the name burning my tongue like poison. “He’s been inside me this whole time.”Morgana stepped forward. Her eyes—gods, they were endless. Deep wells of sorrow and fury and love. She looked at me like she was seeing more than just a young Alpha.“When I met you,” she said softly, “I felt something. A pull. A bond.” She placed a hand over her heart. “I thought it was because of Xander… that maybe y

    ALDRICMorgana’s words hit like a tempest—each syllable peeling back the layers of silence I’d carried for two centuries.Sacrifice. Heart. Xander. Mina.I stood motionless, her voice fading into the thundering in my ears as something deep inside me stirred. A flicker of something I hadn’t felt in ages. A memory long buried… by magic.Then it cracked—like ice under pressure—and the dam broke.It came rushing in.A face. A sound. The coppery scent of blood.And a child screaming.I staggered back a step, gripping the edge of the table.“I… I remember something,” I rasped. “Gods—how could I have forgotten this?”Morgana looked up, startled. Her tear-streaked face locked onto mine, and I could feel the hope—and the terror—rising in her chest.“What do you mean?” she whispered.“I followed him,” I said, breathless. “That night. I followed Xander… into the basement.”Her brows knitted. “You what?”“I don’t know why,” I continued, piecing it together, “Maybe I was suspicious. Or maybe somet
