2024-11-04 00:36:02Elara clenched her fists, frustration boiling inside her. She had fought so hard to escape Luka’s control, only to find herself trapped in another kind of prison. She had run from one brother and fallen straight into the hands of the other. The irony wasn’t lost on her, but it didn’t make the situation any less painful.
Her ankle throbbed where the metal shackle had rubbed her skin raw, a constant reminder of her captivity. She tugged at the chain once more, hoping for some miracle that it might give way, but the cold, unforgiving metal didn’t budge.
She had no way out.
With a frustrated growl, Elara slumped against the stone wall of the cave, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Her chest ached, not from physical exhaustion, but from the emotional weight of her situation. She had been trying so hard to find freedom, to escape the bonds that tied her

Elara’s stomach growled loudly, a painful reminder of how long it had been since she’d eaten. She had lost count of the hours—maybe even days—that had passed since Alec had locked her in the cave. The ache in her belly was growing worse with every passing moment, and her patience had long since worn thin.Her frustration boiled over as she sat there, staring at the narrow opening that led to the rogue village outside. The flickering torchlight cast long shadows on the cave walls, and the cold, damp air seemed to press down on her like a weight. She had been alone for what felt like an eternity, and there was no sign of Alec anywhere.How could he do this? she thought angrily, her fingers clenching into fists. He leaves me here, chained like an animal, and doesn’t even bother to bring me food? Her stomach growled again, and this time, the pain made her w

Alec’s expression was unreadable as he walked toward her, setting the tray down in front of her. The food was carefully arranged—meat, fruits, and bread, a meal fit for an Alpha or Luna. But Elara barely noticed. All she could focus on was the burning anger coursing through her veins."You left me here," she snapped, her voice trembling with fury. "You left me to starve for two days while you—what? Played king over your rogues?"Alec raised an eyebrow, his gaze steady as he watched her. "I told you before, you’re not free yet. But I never said I’d let you starve."Elara glared at him, her fists clenching at her sides. "You might as well have. You kept me locked up, chained like an animal, while you left me with nothing."Alec let out a sigh, rubbing the back of his neck as if her words tired him. "You’re not

Elara’s eyes wandered to the narrow crack in the cave wall, where she had glimpsed the rogue village the day before. The memory of the rogues’ angry stares sent a shiver down her spine. She had ventured out once, hoping to find help or at least someone to talk to, but the rogues had made it clear she wasn’t welcome. She was an outsider, a prisoner, and they wanted nothing to do with her.But now, as she sat in the cold, dark cave, she felt a spark of defiance flicker to life inside her. She couldn’t rely on Alec to bring her food. She couldn’t rely on anyone but herself.With a deep breath, Elara rose to her feet, the chain dragging behind her as she moved toward the crack in the wall. She had explored the cave as much as the chain would allow, but today, she was determined to push her limits. She had to see what lay beyond the village, what kind of world Alec ruled over

For a moment, Alec didn’t respond. The cave was silent, the tension between them palpable. Elara’s chest rose and fell with each ragged breath, her heart pounding in her ears. She expected Alec to argue, to push back, to tell her that she was wrong.But instead, Alec surprised her.“You’re right,” he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper. “You don’t belong to me. You don’t belong to anyone.”Elara blinked, taken aback by his words. She had expected more resistance, more of the same possessive rhetoric she had heard from Luka. But Alec’s tone was different—calmer, more sincere.“But that doesn’t change the fact that you’re in danger,” Alec continued, his eyes locking onto hers. “If I let you go now, Luka will come for you. You know that.&rdqu

She watched the rogues for a while, her eyes scanning the faces of the rogues as they went about their day. None of them looked up toward the cave, none of them acknowledged her presence. She was a prisoner, an outsider in their world, and they had no reason to care about her.They hate me, she thought, her heart sinking with the weight of that realization. She had ventured out into the village once before, only to be met with hostility and anger. The rogues saw her as an intruder, a threat to their way of life. They didn’t care that she had been captured, that she was chained up like an animal. To them, she was just another pawn in Alec’s game.But that didn’t mean she was going to give up.Elara turned away from the crack in the wall, her chest tightening with a renewed sense of determination. She had spent too long waiting, too long relying o

Elara let out a shaky breath, her chest tightening with frustration. How had her life spiraled so far out of control? How had she gone from being a respected Luna in Crescent Moon Pack to being a prisoner in a cave, trapped between two brothers whose war had nothing to do with her?No matter how much Alec talked about protecting her, about keeping her safe from Luka, the truth was that she felt more like a pawn than anything else. Alec and Luka were both consumed by their own ambitions, their own vendettas, and she had been caught in the crossfire.I didn’t ask for any of this, she thought bitterly, her fists clenching at her sides. She hadn’t asked to be bound to either of them, hadn’t asked to be part of their war. She had only wanted freedom, a chance to live her life on her own terms. But that dream felt farther away than ever.Her eyes drif

Alec’s eyes darkened, but he didn’t move. He stood there, watching her with an intensity that made her skin prickle. For a moment, she thought her plan might have failed, that he would see right through her and call her bluff.But then, slowly, Alec stepped closer. He reached out, gently cupping her face in his hand, histhumb brushing softly against her cheek. The touch sent a shiver down her spine, the mate bond pulsing faintly between them.“You don’t have to be afraid,” Alec said quietly, his voice low and soothing. “I won’t let Luka hurt you. I’ll keep you safe. You have my word.”Elara’s heart pounded as she looked up at him, her chest tightening with the weight of her deception. She wanted to pull away, to scream at him, to tell him that she didn’t want his protection. But she forced herself to

Alec stopped pacing, his gaze drifting to the window that looked out over the village. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a soft glow over the broken homes and rough terrain. The village was quiet now, the rogues settling into their nightly routines. But Alec’s mind was far from settled.What am I going to do with her?He couldn’t keep her locked up in the cave forever. She was already growing restless, and the longer he kept her chained, the more likely she was to find a way to escape. But releasing her wasn’t an option, either. Not when Luka was still out there, searching for her. If Luka found her, he would stop at nothing to reclaim her—and Alec wasn’t about to let that happen.He needed to keep her close. But he also needed to gain her trust.Alec’s jaw tightened as he considered his next mo

Alec’s hand tightened slightly on her arm, his eyes flashing with something she couldn’t quite place—concern? Frustration? “Luka’s good at making you feel like you’re the one who’s hurting him,” Alec said, his tone sharper than before. “But don’t forget what he’s done, Elara. He’s not the same person you used to know.”His words were true, but they didn’t bring the comfort she had hoped for. Luka had changed. He wasn’t the boy she had once loved, but the bond between them hadn’t changed, and neither had the memories of the life they were supposed to share. She could still feel it—the connection pulling at her, reminding her that no matter what, Luka was still her mate.And the bond wasn’t so easy to break.The following days passed in a blur for Elara.

Luka’s wolf clawed at the surface, desperate for blood. Desperate to fix this. He couldn’t let her go. He wouldn’t.“You don’t understand, Elara,” Luka said, his voice strained with the effort of holding back his wolf. “You’re my mate. The bond between us... it’s stronger than anything. You belong with me.”Elara’s expression softened, but there was sadness in her eyes now, a sadness that only fueled Luka’s desperation. “The bond is real,” she said quietly, “but it’s not enough. Not when it’s built on control, on fear. I won’t be a prisoner, Luka. Not yours. Not Alec’s. I want my freedom.”Freedom.The word echoed in Luka’s mind, clashing violently with everything he believed, everything he had fought

The Crescent Moon wolves burst from the shadows, their massive forms tearing through the rogue camp with terrifying speed. The rogues barely had time to react. Panicked shouts and snarls filled the air as the Crescent Moon warriors ripped into them, claws and fangs flashing in the dim light of dawn.Luka charged forward, his powerful legs propelling him toward the heart of the camp. His wolf growled in anticipation, its single focus driving him—find Alec. Kill Alec.He barreled through the camp, rogue wolves leaping at him in a desperate attempt to stop his advance. Luka tore through them with ease, his wolf stronger and faster than any of the pathetic rogues that tried to stand in his way. His fangs sank into flesh, his claws raking through fur and skin, but he didn’t linger. He was searching for one thing and one thing only.Where are you, Alec?

As Marcus turned to leave, Luka’s gaze drifted back to the forest. Somewhere beyond those trees, Alec was preparing for war, likely thinking he could outmaneuver his brother, that he could hold onto what he had taken. But Alec didn’t understand what Luka was capable of, what he was willing to do to bring Elara back.I’ll kill him, Luka thought, his heart pounding with the force of his conviction. I’ll kill him and anyone who stands in my way.He had already sent word to the other packs—those loyal to Crescent Moon—calling for reinforcements. They wouldn’t be needed, not for this battle, but Luka wanted to send a message. He wanted the world to see what happened to those who defied him, who dared to challenge his authority.Luka’s fists clenched at his sides, his nails digging into his palms as his wolf surg

As the scout left the room, Luka’s hands clenched into fists at his sides. His entire body trembled with the effort of holding back his rage, of keeping his wolf in check. He had always known it would come to this—always known that one day, he and Alec would face each other in battle. But he had never expected that Elara would be the catalyst for their final confrontation.She’s mine, Luka thought, his jaw tightening. She’s always been mine.The bond between them still lingered, faint but present, like a distant pulse in the back of his mind. He could feel her, even now, though she had tried to sever the connection. She could run as far as she wanted, but she would never truly escape him. The mate bond was unbreakable, and Luka would use it to bring her back to him—whether she wanted to come or not.And when he had her back&

Elara let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding, her heart still racing. Alec had defended her, but she knew better than to think that meant she was safe. The rogues still didn’t trust her, and any mistake could cost her dearly.“Thank you,” she said quietly, glancing at Alec.He didn’t respond right away, his silver eyes still focused on the group of rogues. “Don’t thank me yet,” he said finally, his voice low. “You’re not out of danger.”Elara nodded, the weight of his words pressing down on her. She had survived another day in Alec’s world, but the path ahead was still fraught with danger. The rogues didn’t trust her, and Alec’s protection could only go so far.But she wasn’t going to give up.She had a

Alec turned away from her, his posture rigid as he moved toward the small window that overlooked the rogue village. “The rogues are loyal to me,” he said quietly, his back still to her. “But loyalty doesn’t mean they’ll accept you. They see you as an outsider, and in their eyes, that makes you dangerous.”Elara frowned, crossing her arms as she leaned back against the bedframe. “Why would they see me as dangerous?”Alec’s shoulders tensed, and for a moment, she thought he might ignore the question. But when he turned to face her again, his silver eyes were sharp, the intensity in them almost overwhelming.“They’re afraid of change,” Alec said simply. “They’ve been outcasts for years—rejected, abandoned, and forced to survive in a world that doesn’t care about them.

Elara swallowed hard, feeling the weight of the attention on her. Her heart raced as she locked eyes with Alec, knowing that this was a dangerous move. But she couldn’t back down now.“Is this really necessary?” she asked, her voice steady despite the fear bubbling inside her. “He’s just a boy. He made a mistake. Does he really deserve this?”Alec’s gaze hardened, his eyes narrowing as he stared her down. The crowd around them shifted uncomfortably, clearly uncertain of how to react to her sudden interruption. Elara could feel the tension rising, the air thick with anticipation.“This isn’t your concern,” Alec said coldly, his voice low and dangerous. “You don’t understand how things work here.”Elara’s jaw tightened, but she forced herself to keep her tone cal

As Elara made her way toward the center of the village, she spotted Alec standing near a group of rogue wolves, deep in conversation. He looked up as she approached, his silver eyes narrowing slightly as he took in her presence.“Elara,” he said, his voice cool but not unkind. “You’re up early.”“I needed some air,” she replied, keeping her tone neutral. She couldn’t afford to give him any reason to doubt her.Alec studied her for a moment before nodding. “Come with me,” he said, gesturing for her to follow him.Elara hesitated for a split second before falling into step beside him.
