LIRA

The sun was warm against my skin as we stepped out of the Alpha mansion, but even its golden light couldn’t ease the unease settling in my chest.

It hadn’t just been a trick of the light. I had felt someone watching me, their presence thick and oppressive in the air. And then, just as quickly as I’d seen it, it had vanished. My wolf, Sylara, had bristled, urging me to remain on high alert, but there had been nothing—no scent, no lingering energy—just the eerie silence of the morning.

I glanced at Caius beside me as we walked, his fingers brushing against mine as if sensing my tension.

“You’re still thinking about it, aren’t you?” he murmured.

I nodded. “I know what I saw, Caius. There was someone watching us.”

His jaw tightened. “I don’t doubt you. But whoever it was, he disappeared before I could sense him. That’s what bothers me.”

We took our time heading toward Morgana’s cottage, walking at a relaxed pace. The usual chatter surrounded us—Elias and Ronan discussing the best com

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 90 – The Full Moon Rises

    LIRAThe sun had barely set, but the entire pack was already buzzing with anticipation. Tonight was the full moon, the night Caius and I would finally complete our bond. I should have been excited—this was something I had dreamed of, something I wanted—but a strange unease settled deep in my chest, like a whisper of warning I couldn’t quite hear.Morgana, Ivy, and Kora were in my room, helping me prepare. The ceremonial dress I wore was a deep crimson, the fabric flowing around me like a river of blood—bold, untamed, and alive. It clung to my form like it knew me, fitted at the bodice with delicate embroidery that shimmered like flame when the light caught it. Intricate patterns of gold thread traced ancient runes across the sleeves and neckline, symbols of unity, strength, and fate. The skirt fanned out in layers of silk and velvet, trailing behind me like a royal shadow, commanding attention with every step.The color wasn’t just for show. It was symbolic—red for power, for passion,

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 91 – The Marking

    CAIUSThe full moon stood high above us, bathing the clearing in its silver glow. The night was still, the only sounds were the hushed breaths of the wolves surrounding us, waiting, watching. This was the moment we had been waiting for—the moment Lira and I would complete our bond.She stood before me, her crimson ceremonial dress shimmering in the moonlight, her eyes locked onto mine. A wave of possessiveness surged through me. This woman—this fierce, powerful Luna—was mine.Fenrir stirred within me, his voice filled with pride. Make her ours, Caius. The bond will be unbreakable.I took a step closer, my hand gently caressing Lira’s cheek before sliding down to her neck, feeling the rapid pulse beneath my fingers. She wasn’t afraid, but there was tension in her body—a mixture of anticipation and something else.I lowered my head, pressing my lips to her shoulder before whispering against her skin, “Are you ready?”Lira let out a soft breath, tilting her head slightly, baring her neck

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 92:The First Run as Mates

    LIRAThe night air was fresh, the scent of pine and damp earth filling my lungs as I steadied myself. The raw power coursing through my veins felt… different. Stronger. Wilder.I turned my head slightly, meeting Caius’ golden gaze. Something shifted between us—an unspoken understanding.Then, a voice brushed against my mind.'Lira?'I stiffened. My breath hitched.I could hear him.Not just sense him through the bond. I could hear his voice inside my head.Caius’ brows furrowed, his head tilting slightly. 'Can you hear me? Can you hear my thoughts?'I swallowed hard, pressing a hand to my chest where his mark rested against my skin. 'Yes. I can.'Warmth surged through me—his emotions spilling into mine like a tide. I felt his relief, his joy, his steady love.'We are one now,' he said softly, through the bond.I gasped as another wave of sensation hit—his calm, his strength… and underneath, the way his heart beat for me.“I can feel you,” I whispered aloud, though we no longer needed

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 93: The Warning

    CAIUSThe forest was alive with the sound of paws thundering against the earth, the crisp night air carrying our howls through the trees. I had never felt this powerful before—not just physically, but in every sense of the word. Marking Lira had completed something within me, something primal, something ancient.Fenrir ran beside Sylara, our wolves moving in perfect unison. I could feel Lira’s exhilaration through our bond, her wild joy as she embraced her newfound strength.'You’re incredible,' I told her through the link, feeling a swell of pride.'You’re not so bad yourself, Alpha,' she teased back.I growled playfully, nipping at her flank before she sped up, laughing in the way only wolves could. The entire pack followed behind us, their energy electrified by the full moon, by the ceremony, by the thrill of the night.Then, a voice cut through the rush of wind.'Fenrir. Bring Sylara here. Now.'Sylara slowed beside me, her ears twitching as she turned to meet my gaze.'Did you he

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 94: The Presence in the Dark

    LIRA The air was thick with tension, every breath laced with the weight of what Morgana had just revealed. The Dark Lord was here. Watching. Waiting.I could feel Caius through our bond, his fury a simmering storm barely restrained. Sylara shared his rage, our wolf ready to fight if it came to that. But Morgana’s voice was clear—not yet.Then, from the distance, the sound of pounding paws echoed through the trees. The pack was closing in, returning from the run, unaware of what had just unfolded.Morgana acted fast. She whispered an incantation, her fingers tracing a sigil in the air. A soft shimmer surrounded her, and in the next second, she vanished from sight.“Ease up,” her voice floated through the air. “If you look on edge, they’ll sense something is wrong.”Caius exhaled sharply, forcing Fenrir to relax his stance. I followed his lead, though every instinct in me screamed to stay alert.Are you sure this is the best way? I asked, my voice laced with concern.“We can’t let the

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 95: The Calm Before the Storm

    LIRAThe atmosphere inside the Alpha mansion buzzed with energy. The grand hall was alive with laughter, the clinking of glasses, and the rhythmic beat of drums as the pack celebrated. The scent of roasted meat and freshly baked bread filled the air, mingling with the familiar smell of my packmates. This was a night of unity, a moment of triumph.I stood beside Caius, his warm hand resting possessively on my waist. Everywhere I turned, I was met with smiles and words of congratulations. It was overwhelming yet heartwarming.“Luna,” Elias grinned as he approached, holding out a goblet. “You look like you need a drink.”I chuckled, accepting the cup. “That obvious?”Ronan appeared beside him, his golden eyes gleaming with mischief. “You marked each other. Officially mated. What did you expect? The pack has been waiting for this moment for months.”Caius let out a low chuckle. “Let them celebrate. Tonight is a night of joy.”Kora suddenly threw her arms around me, squeezing me tightly. “

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 96: A New Alliance

    LIRAThe celebration was in full swing inside the Alpha mansion, the scent of roasted meat and spiced wine thick in the air. Laughter and cheers filled the halls as warriors and pack members alike reveled in the joyous occasion. It was the first time in decades that the Grimhowl Pack had a Luna, and I could feel the pride radiating from every member present.But even as I smiled and nodded at the well-wishers, my mind was elsewhere. The lingering unease from earlier refused to fade. The glowing eyes in the forest, the unsettling presence in the shadows—there was no mistaking it. The Dark Lord was already watching us.Caius must have sensed my tension because he leaned in close, his lips brushing my ear. “Come with me.”Without another word, we slipped through the crowd, making our way toward the secluded hallways of the mansion. Just as we reached the door of the private meeting chamber, footsteps sounded behind us.Elias, Ronan, and Kora caught up, their expressions expectant.“You t

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 97:The Council of Elders

    CAIUSThe soft glow of dawn seeped through the curtains, casting golden rays over the room. The air was still cool from the night, carrying the scent of pine and earth through the slightly open balcony door. Lira lay beside me, her dark hair spilling over the pillows, her breathing steady and even.For a moment, I allowed myself to simply watch her. The way her lashes fanned over her cheeks, how the corners of her lips twitched slightly, as if she were dreaming of something pleasant. My mate. My Luna. My everything.The events of the past days weighed heavily on my mind—the marking ceremony, the ominous presence in the woods, the looming war. But here, in this moment, all of that faded.I reached out, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face before leaning in to press a soft kiss against her temple. She stirred slightly, her body instinctively shifting closer to mine.A low, contented hum escaped her lips. “Mm… Caius?”A slow smirk tugged at my lips. “Morning, love.”Her eyelids

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 118: Freedom

    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

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 115: The Shadow Within

    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

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 114: A Memory Reborn

    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

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 113: The Night Everything Broke

    MORGANAI was in the garden, teaching Mina how to coax a bloom from a wilting bud when Xander came to me.“There’s trouble in the village,” he said, voice urgent but composed. “A witch has been spotted casting curses—terrifying the villagers. They need you.”I looked up, wiping my dirt-smudged hands on my apron. “Are you sure? I haven’t sensed anything.”He nodded. “They’re hiding her, out of fear. They sent word to us this morning. Please, Morgana. Only you can deal with this kind of threat.”He looked so sincere. I trusted him. Of course I did. He was my mate, the man who once swore he would stand against the darkness with me.I kissed Mina’s curls and whispered, “Be good for Papa,” before mounting my horse and riding out.The trip to the village took hours. By the time I arrived, the sun was past its peak, dipping into the haze of afternoon. I dismounted at the edge of the quiet settlement and walked its cobbled paths. But there were no cries for help. No signs of chaos. No trace o

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 112: Little Fox

    MORGANAThe past clung to me like the scent of old spell smoke. I didn’t need to close my eyes to see it—the memory surged forward, vivid and raw, as if time itself folded and brought me back two centuries.Two hundred years ago, the Grimhowl Pack mansion was the heart of a thriving, unbreakable community. Nestled in the cradle of the forest, it stood proud and regal, its stone walls covered in flowering ivy and thick vines that shimmered in the morning dew. Tall arched windows caught every sliver of light, casting gold across the polished floors. The scent of pine and wild jasmine drifted in through open balconies. It wasn’t just a mansion. It was a home—a living, breathing sanctuary of pack unity, echoing with laughter, footsteps, and the howls of celebration.Xander Vexmoor, younger brother to Alpha Lance Vexmoor, and I lived in a cozy side wing of the estate. While Lance oversaw the affairs of the pack, Xander dedicated himself to study, exploration, and eventually, me. We were yo

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 111: The Daughter We Buried

    MORGANAThe room grew quiet after the others left, their footsteps fading into the distance like echoes of a life I could never return to.Only three remained—Caius, Lira, and Aldric—and though their eyes were patient, I could feel the weight of the storm I was about to release. My fingers curled into my robe. I had buried this truth so deep that even I began to believe the lie we created. But lies rot beneath the surface, and now… it was time.“There’s something else,” I said softly, turning toward the hearth though I no longer felt its warmth. “Something only a few souls in this world have ever known.”Caius straightened in his chair, his gaze steady. Lira didn’t speak, but I could sense her heart beating faster—an instinctive tension. And Aldric… Aldric was already frowning, as if he’d sensed the ghosts creeping in.I drew a slow breath and let the memories unfold.“The one dearest to me that Malakar killed… wasn’t just a friend. Wasn’t a sister. She was my daughter.”The room stil

  • Alpha's Eclipse   Chapter 110: The Missing Piece

    LIRAThe silence after Morgana’s story was suffocating. I could feel the heaviness of everyone’s thoughts pressing into the air like a storm that hadn’t yet broken. No one moved. No one breathed too loudly. We were all trying to piece together a puzzle we didn’t even know existed until tonight.But something didn’t sit right.I studied Morgana closely. She looked drained, pale, her shoulders hunched forward like she carried the weight of centuries. But her eyes… they darted—first to Caius, then to Elder Aldric. And I saw it then. The unspoken words. The way her mouth tightened just slightly, the way Aldric avoided looking at anyone.There was more.“There’s something else,” I said, breaking the silence.Everyone turned toward me.Morgana’s head lifted slightly, eyes narrowing.“You’re still holding back,” I pressed, standing. “I can feel it. And if we want to stop Malakar this time, we can’t afford secrets. Whatever you’re not telling us… we need to know it. All of it.”Morgana’s lips
