Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 27
Callum The pack hall feels too small, too confined, as I pace back and forth like a caged animal. My thoughts are a tangled mess, consumed by images of Aria - the way her body felt pressed against mine, the taste of her lips, the fire in her eyes as she attacked Elijah to save my life. That moment plays over and over in my mind, a testament to her fierce loyalty, her unwavering courage. Even after everything I did to her, every lie and betrayal, she still fought for me with a passion that takes my breath away. And now, with the memory of our stolen moment together seared into my brain, I can't escape the regret that claws at my chest. I never should have deceived her, never should have pushed her away. I thought I was doing what was best for the pack, but the truth is, I was a coward. I was too afraid to face my feelings for her, too afraid of what loving her might mean. I clench my fist, my nails digging into my palm as I try to steady myself. But it's no use. The agitation rolls

Aria My heart pounds in my chest as Leah and I are escorted into the pack hall by two stern-faced pack members. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and I can sense a mix of anger, disappointment, and sorrow emanating from Elijah as he stands with the council members and Soren. Leah shoots me a worried glance, her brows furrowed in concern. I try to give her a reassuring smile, but it feels strained on my face. Something is wrong, very wrong, and the knot in my stomach tightens with each step we take. Elijah gestures for us to take a seat, his expression grim and his eyes filled with a pain that makes my heart ache. I've never seen him look so broken, so utterly devastated, and I can't help but wonder what could have caused such a profound change in his demeanor. "What's going on, Elijah?" I ask, my voice trembling slightly as I try to keep my composure. "Why have you called us here?" He takes a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the council members before settling back on me. "

Aria The cold, hard floor presses against my cheek as I slowly drift into consciousness. For a moment, I'm disoriented, my mind struggling to piece together the fragments of my memory. But as the fog of sleep clears, the harsh reality of my situation comes crashing down on me like a tidal wave. I'm in prison. Locked away like a common criminal, awaiting trial for a crime I didn't commit. I blink, trying to adjust to the dim light filtering through the small, barred window. As my eyes focus, I see Leah sitting beside me, her face etched with concern and fear. She looks like she hasn't slept in days, and I feel a pang of guilt knowing that I'm the reason for her suffering. "Aria, we need to talk," she says, her voice gentle but firm as she places a comforting hand on my shoulder. I look away, tears welling up in my eyes as the weight of my guilt threatens to crush me. I know that my actions have not only put my own life in danger but also the lives of my best friend and my unborn ch

Aria The moonlit clearing is eerily silent, the only sound the soft whisper of the wind through the trees. The Silverfang pack forms a loose circle around the perimeter, their eyes fixed on the two wolves in the center. Elijah and I face each other, our bodies tense and coiled, ready to spring into action at any moment. The air between us crackles with energy, a palpable tension that sets my nerves on edge. Elijah's black fur seems to absorb the moonlight, making him almost invisible against the shadows. But I can see the glint of his eyes, the flash of his teeth as he snarls at me. You think you can beat me, little girl? his voice echoes in my mind, dripping with disdain. You're nothing but a pup, playing at being an Alpha. I bare my teeth in response, a low growl rumbling in my throat. I am no pup, I snap back, my mental voice sharp and clear. And I will prove it, by defeating you here and now. Elijah laughs, a harsh, grating sound that sets my teeth on edge. We shall see about

Aria I stand tall in the center of the pack hall, my heart pounding with a mix of adrenaline and fear. The members of the council are gathered before me, their faces a mix of shock, disbelief, and grudging respect. I take a deep breath, steadying myself before I speak. "As the new Alpha of the Silverfang pack," I say, my voice ringing out clear and strong, "I hereby annul the sentence against myself and Leah. The charges against us are dismissed, effective immediately." There's a moment of stunned silence, followed by a low murmur of confusion and surprise. I can see the council members exchanging glances, their eyes wide with uncertainty. But I don't waver, don't let my resolve falter for even a moment. "This is my decision," I say, my gaze sweeping over the gathered crowd. "And as your Alpha, you are compelled to accept it." Slowly, reluctantly, the council members begin to nod their heads. I can see the resignation in their eyes, the acceptance of my authority. "Very well," t

Callum The night is dark and silent as I make my way through the Silverfang pack territory, my footsteps light and quick on the damp earth. I move with the grace and stealth of a predator, my senses heightened and my muscles coiled with tension. I know I shouldn't be here, know that I'm taking a risk by infiltrating enemy territory like this. But I can't help myself, can't resist the pull of the woman who haunts my every waking thought and dreams. Aria. My mate, my love, my betrayer. The anger that churns in my gut is a constant companion these days, a simmering rage that threatens to boil over at any moment. I trusted her, gave her my heart and my soul, and in return... She abandoned me, turned her back on our love and our future together. I grit my teeth as I approach the packhouse, my eyes scanning the windows for any sign of movement. I know which room is hers, have watched her from afar on countless nights like this one. But tonight, I'm done watching. Tonight, I'm going to

Aria I wake slowly, my body aching in all the right places, a delicious soreness that reminds me of the passionate night I spent tangled in Callum's arms. For a moment, I allow myself to bask in the afterglow, a small smile playing at the corners of my lips as I stretch languidly beneath the sheets. But as I reach out to the other side of the bed, expecting to feel the warm, solid presence of Callum's body, my hand meets only cold, empty space. Confused, I sit up, my eyes scanning the room for any sign of him. That's when I see it. The note, a single sheet of paper folded on his pillow, my name scrawled across the front in his bold, familiar handwriting. With trembling fingers, I reach for it, my heart pounding in my chest as I unfold the paper and read the words written there. "Nothing's changed." Two words, simple and stark, but they hit me like a punch to the gut. I feel the air leave my lungs in a rush, my throat constricting with a sudden, overwhelming surge of emotion. Ang

Aria I close the front door to Leah's house with a gentle click, stepping out into the quiet street. A chill morning breeze caresses my skin, and I wrap my arms around myself against the cold. I feel raw and exposed after our emotional conversation, like a nerve laid bare. But I know there's no going back now. My choice has been made. With a deep breath, I make my way down the walk and turn in the direction of the packhouse. The tap of my boots on the pavement echoes in the silence, a lonely refrain keeping tempo with my own tumultuous thoughts. Doubt claws at me, whispering that I'm making a mistake. That a true Alpha would stand her ground, would fight to keep what she'd earned. I clench my jaw, steeling myself against the insidious voices. I didn't want to be Alpha, not really. It was forced upon me, a burden I never desired. Returning it to Elijah is the right thing to do. The only thing left that feels true in a world upended. As I near the center of town, flickers of movemen

Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 42
Aria Gods, Callum is infuriating. His face hardens as that familiar stubborn glint flashes in his eyes - the same pigheaded determination that got us into this whole mess to begin with. I can practically see the wheels turning as he debates his next move against me. Part of him clearly wants to reassert his dominance, to double down on suppressing my abilities like some addiction he can't kick. The urge to subjugate me is probably humming through his alpha instincts, primal and mindless. But another part of him hesitates, flickering with unease at how thoroughly I overpowered him just moments ago. He knows I'm no longer that helpless prisoner bound and sedated at his mercy. My powers have returned in full, and whether he wants to admit it or not, that reality has shifted the balance of our forces irrevocably. A tense beat passes between us before he finally breaks the charged silence. "Explain how this is possible," he growls. "That serum should have kept your abilities neutralize
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 41
Callum The stone walls of the empty corridor seem to press in on me as I make my way toward Aria's room. Each step feels heavier than the last, the weight of what I'm about to do bearing down on me. I know I have to be cruel, have to push her away and treat her coldly. It's the only way to keep up the ruse, the only way to make sure she stays safe. But Goddess, it's killing me. I pause outside her door, squeezing my eyes shut and taking a deep breath to steel myself. Be strong, Callum. This is for her, even if she'll hate you for it. With that last shred of resolve, I harden my expression to a mask of indifference and push open the door. Aria is sitting on the edge of the bed, her muscles visibly tensing as I enter. Those striking amber eyes narrow, lips curving down. "What do you want?" she snaps, hostility etched into every line of her body. I force back the urge to go to her, to wrap my arms around her and breathe in the woodsy vanilla scent unique to her. Instead I keep my t
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 40
Aria The morning light filtering in through the curtains is what finally rouses me from a restless sleep. As wakefulness slowly returns, so does the memory of what transpired between Callum and me last night. Shame burns through me as I recall the way I surrendered to him so completely, gave in to desires I should have resisted with every fiber of my being. What is wrong with me? How could I let him manipulate me like that, use my body's traitorous responses against me? I grit my teeth, anger and disgust swirling hotly inside me. No more. I refuse to be weak, to let Callum gain the upper hand because he knows exactly how to play my body like a well-tuned instrument. I am the mistress of my own fate, not some puppet dancing to his twisted tune. Determination steeling my spine, I try again to tap into that wellspring of power I can normally feel thrumming just below my skin. But there's nothing, not even the barest tingle or spark. Whatever chemical cocktail my mother injected me with
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 39
Aria My eyes flutter open, and a wave of disorientation washes over me. Where am I? The room is unfamiliar, not my bedroom back home. I try to lift my head from the plush pillow, but my limbs feel weighed down, like they're made of lead. Fragments of memory creep in. My mother...she injected me with something. The liquid burned as it entered my veins. Then everything went black. I remember Callum's face hovering over me, a look of grim determination etched across his chiseled features. He must have brought me here, wherever "here" is. Fear spikes through my body as I finally notice the bindings around my wrists and ankles, securing me to the bed frame. I'm trapped. The sound of footsteps approaching pulls my attention to the shadowy corner of the room. Callum emerges, back-lit by the soft glow filtering through the bedroom curtains. Even in the dim light, I can make out the hard lines of his body, all sinewy muscle and predatory grace. Our eyes lock, and I try to keep my face impa
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 38
Aria Shock roots me to the spot as my gaze collides with piercing blue eyes I haven't seen in months. Callum stands in the doorway, tall and imposing as ever, his presence hitting me like a physical blow. My heart lurches against my ribs, confusion and fear swirling in a toxic mixture. "What are you doing here?" I demand, my voice coming out high and thin. Callum's eyes flicker to my mother, comprehension slamming into me with sickening force. She brought him here. Betrayed my location to the one person I've been running from all this time. I whirl to face her, hands balling into fists at my sides. "How could you?" I choke out through the rage constricting my throat. "How could you tell him where I was?" My mother reaches for me beseechingly. "Aria, you must understand, I only want what's best for you..." "Best for me?" I shriek, jerking violently out of her grasp. "Bringing the monster who shattered my heart and trust here is what's best?" "He explained everything, dear," my mo
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 37
Aria My brow furrows as my mother's words sink in. There's an implication in her tone that puts me instantly on edge, has apprehension coiling tight in my gut. "What do you mean, I came here like a thief in the night?" I ask hesitantly. My mother sighs, her face growing solemn. She reaches out to take my hand in hers, grip gentle but intent. When she speaks, her voice is heavy with regret. "Aria, your father and I...we know everything that happened. With the Silverfangs." My heart drops like a stone, panic constricting my chest so I can barely suck in a breath. I choke out a stunned "What?" as my mother continues, her words landing like blows. "We know you abandoned your old pack. That you betrayed Moonshadow to join with the Silverfangs. That the child you carry..." She hesitates, eyes shining with disappointment. "That he belongs to their Alpha, Elijah." I reel under the impact of her false words, the injustice of the accusations stealing my breath. Desperate to defend myself
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 36
Aria The space between me and Elijah feels charged, electric with the weight of the choice I've just made. I can see the anguish in his eyes as he watches me walk away, can feel the severing of our mating bond like a physical ache in my chest. But I force myself to keep moving, descending the ceremonial platform on legs that feel numb and disconnected from my body. This is the only way, I tell myself. The gathered crowd parts silently before me as I pass, their accusing eyes following my retreat. I catch snatches of muttered conversation, words like "traitor" and "coward" piercing my ears. Each whispered condemnation lands like a blow, the hostility pressing in on me from all sides. But I refuse to cower or quicken my pace. I walk steadily onward, my spine straight and chin lifted. Their judgment cannot touch me - not really. When I finally reach my room, I close and lock the door firmly behind me. Only then do I allow myself to sag against the smooth wood, my breath leaving in a
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 35
Aria I arrive at the ceremony grounds, my stomach churning with anxiety as furious shouts assault me from the gathered crowd. Heads turn in my direction, eyes burning into me with outrage and accusation. I straighten my spine and lift my chin, refusing to let them see the nerves fraying beneath my composed exterior. This is my own doing. I have no one to blame but myself for the chaos and turmoil rippling through the Silverfang pack. But it's the only way I can see to finally find some semblance of peace and clarity in the storm raging within me. Elijah stands rigidly on the raised wooden platform at the center of the ceremony circle. His powerful frame is taut with tension, his features an impenetrable mask concealing the tempest of emotions I know must be swirling inside him. Only his dark eyes, boring into mine with smoldering intensity, betray the war waging beneath his Alpha dominance. I inhale a steeling breath and stride forward into the sacred clearing, the simmering hostil
