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

    Two days passed, Lira could feel the subtle shift in the air. Something was coming.It wasn’t just her, though. The wolves of Valenwood grew more alert, their movements sharper, their patrols tighter. It was as if the very land itself had become restless. The usual hum of life in the village had turned tense, charged with anticipation.Lira couldn’t escape the feeling that everything was leading to something—something that would change everything.Then, one night, it happened.Lira awoke with a start, her body drenched in cold sweat. The room around her was cloaked in darkness, but the air was thick with something unseen, something heavy. It was as if the night itself had taken on a life of its own, swirling with an ominous presence that pressed down on her chest.She lay frozen for a moment, trying to gather her bearings, her breath coming in shallow gasps. There was something wrong. Something… watching.Then, she heard it.A voice."Little Alpha."Her blood turned to ice at the soun

    Lira swallowed hard, her throat dry, as the weight of the revelation settled over her like a suffocating fog. "It was him," she whispered, barely able to get the words out. "Malakar. He spoke to me."The room went still. The silence hung heavy, each person in the room processing the implications of what she had just said.Tobias and Dain, who had rushed in at the sound of her distress, exchanged a look. It was one Lira had seen before—the kind that signified something was terribly wrong."How?" Tobias demanded, his voice sharp with concern. "How did he reach you inside Valenwood?"Caius, who had been kneeling beside her, his presence a comforting weight, stiffened. His jaw tightened as his gaze darkened. "You said Valenwood was protected. How could he breach that?"Dain, ever the strategist, nodded grimly, his arms folded across his chest. "It is protected," he confirmed, his tone heavy with disbelief. "There's no way Malakar should be able to reach her—not without—"He stopped abrupt

    The night stretched on, heavy with the weight of uncertainty. Valenwood was on edge, its warriors moving like shadows through the trees, searching for any trace of hidden crystals or other dark artifacts. The pack was restless, every member feeling the tension in the air, but none of them were certain who or what to trust.Lira sat at the grand table in the heart of the stronghold, surrounded by the familiar faces of those she trusted most. Tobias and Dain stood near the entrance, their voices low and urgent as they discussed their next steps. Caius sat beside her, his presence a steadying force, though his usual calm had been replaced by an edge of unease. His fingers absently tapped against the surface of the table, the rhythm betraying the tension inside him.The traitor—Lucien, or whoever else had worked with Malakar—had not yet been found, but the certainty that one of them was feeding information to the Dark Lord gnawed at Lira's mind. It was only a matter of time before they we

    The sky was an endless black canvas, with only the full moon piercing through the clouds. A chill ran through the air as the warriors of Valenwood formed a protective circle around the clearing, their eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of danger.Lira stood at the center of a ritualistic symbol etched into the ground with silver and herbs. Morgana paced around her, murmuring in a language older than time itself, her voice a low hum that reverberated through the air. The witch's violet eyes glowed faintly, her hands moving in intricate patterns, drawing the threads of magic together."This will not be easy," Morgana warned, her voice edged with both caution and determination. "The bond has only just begun to form, but Malakar is not a force that lets go easily. He will fight back with everything he has."Lira clenched her fists, her body trembling with both fear and resolve. She couldn't let Malakar have control. Not when everything—her life, her future—was at stake. "I don’t care

    Lira had never felt this alive.She raced through the forest, the cool night air rushing past her, her paws barely making asound against the frozen ground. Each step was effortless, her body moving with a fluid gracethat felt almost otherworldly. Her senses were heightened beyond anything she could haveimagined—every smell, every sound, every shift in the wind was as clear to her as though itwere happening inside her own body.Beside her, Fenrir ran with equal speed and precision, his powerful form flowing through thetrees like a shadow. His dark fur contrasted beautifully with her radiant white coat, and hisgolden eyes glinted in the moonlight, watching her with an intensity that made her heart race."You’re incredible," his deep voice rumbled through the bond between them, the words vibratingthrough her as if they were spoken directly into her chest.She shot him a playful glance.

    The night air was crisp, the sky stretching vast and endless, illuminated by countless stars. Agentle breeze whispered through the towering pines surrounding Grimhowl’s training grounds,carrying with it the electric anticipation of the wolves gathered. Tonight was the night.Lira stood at the center of the clearing, barefoot on the frozen earth, feeling the energy pulsingaround her. The pack was silent, their collective presence a quiet yet steady supportsurrounding her like an invisible shield. Each breath she took seemed to magnify the moment,the weight of everything leading up to this night pressing down on her shoulders. But there wassomething else that grounded her, something more solid and real than anything else—Caius,standing beside her, his presence like an anchor.

    Lira woke up to the softest kiss on her forehead. Her eyelids fluttered open, and sheimmediately felt the warmth of Caius beside her."Caius?" she murmured, her voice thick with sleep, her mind still tangled in the hazy remnantsof dreams."Wake up, love," he whispered, his voice low and warm. "I have something planned for youtoday."Lira blinked, the sleepiness clinging to her like a blanket. "What...?" Her voice was slow,reluctant to shake off the drowsiness."You’ll see," Caius replied with a teasing smile that she could feel even though her eyes werestill half-closed.Later That Evening…Lira walked into the main hall, her steps slow as she took in the space around her. There wassomething off about the atmosphere. It was too quiet. Too still.Then, suddenly—"SURPRISE!"The doors swung open with a dramatic flourish, revealing a breathtaking sight.

    Lira barely had a moment of peace before Kora barged into her room, her usual energetic self,arms crossed and dark curls bouncing with every step."LIRA!" Kora practically shouted, making Lira jolt in surprise. She blinked at the suddenintrusion, her heart racing for a moment before she realized it was just Kora being Kora."You are officially few days away from your birthday!" Kora’s voice was loud enough to shakethe walls, her eyes sparkling with mischief.Lira stared at her, still processing the words, a frown forming on her face. “Uh… yes?”Kora’s grin grew wider, and she threw herself onto Lira's bed dramatically, landing with a bouncethat made the entire mattress shift. "Do you realize what that means?"Lira gave her a blank look. "That I’ll shift for the first time?" she asked cautiously, unsure if thiswas leading to something she wasn’t ready for.Kora rolled her eyes so hard it was a miracle they didn’t pop out.

    Lira stood at the edge of the training grounds, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, as shewatched the warriors spar. The icy wind of winter nipped at her skin, but it was nothingcompared to the tension that was coiling tighter and tighter inside her chest. She could feel thepressure, the expectation, and it had been growing stronger every day. Only a week remainedbefore her birthday, and with it, the moment she had both dreaded and anticipated her entirelife.Her first shift.And four days after that—the full moon.Lira’s fingers clenched into fists at her sides as she thought about it. It had been a constantworry in the back of her mind for as long as she could remember. There was so much she hadto prepare for. The full moon would be the moment when everything changed. She would stepinto the world as a fully realized wolf, something she’d been dreaming about for years, but alsosomething she was terrified of. What if she wasn’t ready? What if she failed?

    Lira sat on the log, staring blankly into the crackling fire before her. The flames danced in frontof her eyes, but she saw nothing. Her mind was a void, her thoughts nothing more than atangled mess of confusion, exhaustion, and pure embarrassment.She was numb. Emotionally, spiritually, mentally scarred.Her eyes were glazed, as though nothing in the world could pierce through the haze that hadsettled over her like a heavy fog. Last night’s events replayed in her mind over and over like anightmare she couldn’t escape.Caius sat beside her, an amused glint in his eyes. He wasn’t one to shy away from trouble—hewas the source of much of it, after all. His deep chuckle vibrated through his chest as hewatched her, obviously trying to suppress the amusement bubbling inside him. “You alright,love?”Lira slowly turned her head toward him. Her face was blank—empty, devoid of the usual spark.“I need therapy,” she muttered, her voice flat and devoid of any life.Caius raised an eyebrow,

    *WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS R-18 SCENES*Lira was exhausted.The past few days had been a blur of non-stop training—magic training, combat training,strategy sessions. It was more than she could keep up with, especially with Caius constantlypushing her limits in ways she never thought possible. He was relentless, and while the resultswere impressive, she was starting to feel the weight of it all.Her muscles ached with every step, her mind heavy with exhaustion. All she wanted—no,needed—was a long, uninterrupted sleep. It had been days since she’d truly rested, and herbody was screaming at her for a break.She shuffled toward her room in the guest house, dragging her feet, rubbing at the tension inher shoulders. The cold air from outside nipped at her skin, but she didn’t care. She just neededto get inside, strip down to her pajamas, and crawl into bed.As she reached for the door handle, she heard it.A sound so wrong, so utterly nightmare-inducing that her soul nearly left

    Lira stood in the middle of the training grounds, arms crossed tightly over her chest, watching asCaius and Ronan sparred. Their movements were a blur of speed and strength, fists connectingwith precision, growls echoing in the crisp air. The power behind each strike resonated throughthe ground, the thud of their feet against the earth punctuating their ongoing battle fordominance.Normally, Lira would have been fully immersed in their movements, analyzing each of theirtechniques, mentally planning her own training sessions, and preparing for the future. Buttoday?Today, she couldn’t focus. Her thoughts kept drifting back to the way Caius had kissed her lastnight—no, the night before that, too. She could still feel the heat of his lips against hers, the wayhis hands had pulled her closer, his touch igniting something deep inside her. Her bodyresponded to him in ways she couldn’t ignore.

    Later that evening, Lira sat in the pack house, exhausted from the day's training. The cracklingfire in the hearth provided a bit of warmth against the chill that still clung to her bones. Sheleaned back in her chair, savoring the quiet, a rare moment of peace amid the chaos that hadbecome her life.Then, it hit her.A scent, rich and familiar, so strong that it sent a rush of emotion through her chest. It wasunmistakable.Her heart stopped.No. It couldn’t be...Footsteps echoed down the hall, getting closer, until they stopped right outside the door.“Did you miss me, or did you forget about me completely?”Lira’s breath caught in her throat, and she turned sharply, her eyes widening in pure shock.“Kora?” she gasped.The blonde-haired, hazel-eyed she-wolf stood in the doorway, a grin spreading across her face,radiating the same confidence and energy that Lira had missed so much.“Oh my Moon Goddess,” Lira exclaimed, her voice cracking slightly as she surged forward.
