Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 29
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
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 30
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
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 31
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
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 32
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
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 33
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
Crescent Moon Alphas Chapter 34
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 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
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
