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.

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

The rogue village sprawled out before her, much the same as it had been the last time she’d seen it through the narrow crack in the cave wall. Crumbling buildings, makeshift homes, and dirt paths wound through the settlement like a maze. The rogues moved about their business, some in human form, others shifting into their wolves as they went about their daily routines. It was a harsh, unforgiving place—so different from the orderly life she had known in Crescent Moon Pack.Alec walked ahead of her, his tall figure cutting a path through the village. The rogues barely glanced at him as he passed, their respect—or perhaps fear—of him evident in the way they kept their distance. But when they saw Elara walking behind him, their reactions were different.The hostile stares started almost immediately.Elara could feel their eyes on her, cold and full of

The quiet of Alec’s cabin settled around Elara like a heavy blanket as the door clicked shut behind him. She sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the door with her mind spinning. The soft, flickering light of a single lantern illuminated the room, casting long shadows on the walls, but the warmth of the light did nothing to ease the cold knot of anxiety tightening in her stomach.She had taken the first steps toward earning Alec’s trust, but the path forward was dangerous. Every word, every movement, had to be calculated. Alec wasn’t a fool—he’d see through any blatant attempt at deception. She had to make him believe she wanted to be by his side. If she pushed too hard, he would realize what she was trying to do.But the bond, that cursed connection between them, complicated everything. Elara couldn’t deny the magnetic pull she felt toward him. It wasn’t l

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. She didn’t know what Alec had planned for the day, but she knew she had to be ready for anything.They walked through the village in silence, the tension between them pal

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

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.
