A NIGHT AT THE BALL RHEA’S POV I stood by the window, staring out into the stormy night. Rain drummed steadily on the roof. Droplets slid down the glass in uneven patterns, illuminated by occasional flashes of lightning streaking across the dark sky. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to
I hesitated, unsure whether to introduce myself. Would Miles even care if I interacted with someone else? It wasn’t as if he had shown me an ounce of regard all night. Finally, I took his hand and gave him a polite smile. “Rhea,” I said softly. “Luna of Snowfall Pack.” “Luna,” Zane repeated, h
COLD NIGHTS, COLDER HEARTS RHEA’S POV FLASHBACK CONTINUES “What the hell was that?” Miles snapped, turning to face me. His eyes blazed with an intensity that made me shrink back slightly. We were now inside his car after the party, about to go home. He had dismissed his driver, opting to dr
“You can’t be serious,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “Do I look like I’m joking?” he snarled, finally turning to glare at me. The rain poured harder, drumming against the roof of the car. I hesitated, my mind racing. Surely, he wouldn’t leave me here. Not in the middle of a storm.
THE VERDICT MILES’ POV A month later... Elder Aldric Silvermane cleared his throat and scanned the council room. The room fell silent as he began: “Roxy Chapman, you stand before the Wolf Council accused of grave crimes that strike at the heart of pack law and harmony. These crimes are not mi
I turned to look at her. She smiled faintly, though her own eyes betrayed a sadness she tried to hide. “If Rhea is meant for you,” she continued, "the Moon goddess will surely make your paths cross again. But if not...” She hesitated, as if the thought pained her as much as it pained me. “If not, t
Alpha’s Desperation YURI’S POV “Rhea! Rhea!” The commotion outside jolted me awake, and I rose from my bed with a groggy sigh. I had just returned from Crimson Peak Pack, where Rhea was safely pursuing her college education. Zane’s pack was perfect, safe for her and the child, far enough from
I clenched my fists at his audacity but kept my tone level. “Miles, I don’t want trouble with you or your pack. And I certainly don’t want to disrespect your parents, just as you’ve disrespected mine today. But I’ll say this one last time, Rhea isn’t here. If she were, do you think my parents would’
I didn’t want Sekani anywhere near this conversation. He didn’t need to hear the things I was about to say. Because I was going to yell. I had made it crystal clear in the last message I sent that I never wanted to see Yuri again. Not at my house. Not at my porch. Not even in my dreams. He could hav
Of Boundaries and Blood RHEA'S POV Sekani beamed at his new wristwatch, his small fingers turning it this way and that as I pulled into the driveway. “I love it so much,” he said, eyes sparkling. I smiled at him from the rearview mirror. “I’m glad you do,” I replied. “Promise me you’ll always we
When I looked at the rearview mirror again, my eyes met his. His eyes were sad and unsure. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I didn’t mean to make you mad.” My heart squeezed. I reached for the gear and pulled over to the side of the road, my chest aching. “No, baby. I’m sorry.” I turned in my seat to
Fathers and SonsRHEA’S POV I purposely avoided going back to Miles' room after I left. I didn’t show up yesterday like I promised Ma Lisa. I didn’t go today either. Not even when Dr. Patel sent one of the nurses to tell me they had asked for me twice. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I didn
My brows creased slightly, but I kept the smile on my face, wondering what he meant by that. But I made no comment. Then, he looked over at Miles, then back at me, looking far too excited."He hasn’t looked at another woman in seven years. Not once. He has refused to claim another Luna. That boy has
Of Storms and ScarsRHEA'S POVI had rehearsed this scene time and again in my head. I had it all in my head. Everything I would say to them, but what I didn't get ready for was the surge of emotion that would overwhelm me. Tears welled up in my eyes as Pa Dennis blinked like he had seen a ghost. Ma
I inclined my head, wincing a little. “Feels good.” “I’m Dr. Patel Kentuckey. I’ll be handling your case moving forward.” He walked closer, eyes scanning the monitors as he continued. “I must say, I’m impressed by your recovery. Given the severity of your hypothermia, this is nothing short of a mir
Silent Bonds MILES’ POV There was a dull throbbing in my limbs. At first, it was cold. Then warmth. Then pain. Everything felt slow, like my body had forgotten how to exist in one piece. I blinked against the blinding white lights overhead, squinting as the room began to sharpen into focus. The fi
Unburied ThingsRHEA’S POV Despite the usual cheerful greetings as I walked through the hospital halls, I could feel the subtle whispers trailing behind me. Eyes flicked my way. Curiosity buzzed in the air like static. Everyone wanted to know what was really going on between me and Alpha Miles Mond
