Dawn

The stress was eating me alive. I hated this, hated the way people looked at me like I was some kind of monster. It wasn’t always so obvious, but it was there, simmering in their eyes, that flicker of fear whenever I spoke or even walked into a room. I didn’t want this. I never wanted to be different. After everything I’d been through, I was finally blending in, and now this?

The worst part of it all was seeing Princess, someone I considered my closest friend, becoming careful around me. She’d always been the most outspoken, the one who wasn’t afraid of anything. But now… now even she hesitated.

We were in the kitchen, and I was trying to distract myself by making tea. Princess walked in, her usual bright smile faltering just slightly when our eyes met. She didn’t even come over to me like she normally would. Instead, she lingered by the doorway, as if waiting for permission to approach.

“Hey,” I said, trying to sound normal, casual.

“Hey,” she replied, her voice soft. She leaned

    RhysI woke up the moment I sensed her discomfort. Even in sleep, I could feel the way her body tensed, like she was trapped in some kind of nightmare. And then, just as I was about to pull her closer, she jerked awake, gasping, her breaths heavy and labored.“Dawn,” I whispered, wrapping my arms around her and pulling her tight against me. Her fear bounced off her and seeped into me. “What’s wrong? What happened?”She didn’t answer at first, just buried her face in my chest, still catching her breath. I stroked her hair, waiting for her to calm down. When she finally pulled back to look at me, her eyes were filled with something I hadn’t seen in her before—hesitation. “I had a bad dream,” she whispered.“Tell me about it,” I said softly, but there was more going on here. I could feel it.She hesitated again, biting her lip like she wasn’t sure how to say what was on her mind. “There’s something I need to confess.”My gut tightened at her words. “What is it?” I asked, my voice firmer

    RhysThe day started like any other. At first light, the pack house was quiet. But that peace shattered when Kaden mind-linked me with the news.Alpha! We're under attack!I shot up from bed, my heart racing. I could hear the chaos already outside. People shouted orders, footsteps pounding on the ground as warriors scrambled to their positions. The smell of fear hit me before I could even get dressed.How many? I barked, yanking on my clothes.A full force. They seem to be gunning for the pack house. His words chilled me to the bone. They were after Dawn.I burst out of our room, and everything was in a frenzy. Warriors were darting back and forth, readying themselves for battle. It was serious business and everyone knew this wasn’t a simple skirmish. This was a targeted attack, and Dawn was the prize.I grabbed the nearest enforcer, “Get everyone in position. Make sure the borders are locked down tight."He nodded. “Yes, Alpha,” he said before darting off.I could feel Dawn behind m

    RhysRage was building inside me like a storm threatening to break. The attack outside had stirred something primal within me, and I could barely keep it contained. My wolf was pacing restlessly, its fury a mirror of my own. I’d never fought before, but the intense urge for action surged through me. It was as if my wolf knew what it wanted and was desperate to act.Being in the Safe Room with Nadia and Princess felt like an insult to my anger. The walls seemed to close in, and every minute spent in that room with them only fueled my frustration. Nadia and Princess were still acting strange, and their weird behavior grated on my nerves. I paced back and forth, my frustration making every step feel heavier.This feral need to rip apart our enemies was foreign, unsettling, yet thrilling in its twisted way. My wolf wanted to be out there, to let loose her fury, but here she was—trapped, powerless. And it was driving me mad.I noticed how Nadia and Princess huddled together at the far end

    DawnThe next morning, Rhys and his warriors headed up the mountain to track the remaining rogues. I watched from the pack house as they disappeared into the treeline, their bodies moving like shadows against the rocky terrain. They moved with such ease, like the mountain was an extension of them. It fascinated me. Despite all my time at Golden Crest, I’d never once set foot on the mountain. I turned to Nadia, who was standing beside me, her arms crossed as she followed the warriors with her eyes. “They make it look so easy,” I muttered, more to myself than to her.Nadia nodded without taking her gaze off the disappearing wolves. “That’s because they’ve been trained since birth to be one with the mountain. It’s part of being in the Golden Crest pack.”I frowned. “But I’ve never had that training. I’m still part of the pack, right? It's Luna.”Nadia laughed and glanced at me. “Of course you are, but things were different for you, Dawn. You weren’t raised here. And... well, it wasn’t

    DawnI was busy sorting through documents and planning the day’s tasks when a stranger arrived at the pack house the next day. He was unlike anyone I’d seen before a tall man with an aura that seemed to shimmer around him. His clothing was a blend of old-world elegance and mystic symbols. Rhys greeted him with an oddly familiar warmth that I didn’t quite understand.Who is this? I mind-linked Rhys as they exchanged greetings.“He’s a seer,” Rhys replied, with an uneasy smile. “He’s here to help us with some things we need to understand.”The seer’s gaze locked onto me, his eyes sharp and piercing. “I’ve been waiting to meet you, Luna,” he said with an almost reverent tone. “I need to speak with you—alone.”Rhys stiffened beside me, his body language tense.“Why?” He grumbled. Rhys' uneasiness scared me. Was something I didn't know happening? The seer chuckled and shook his head. “You haven't changed one bit, Alpha.”Rhys made a noise in his throat and kissed the top of my head. “I su

    RhysI stood there, watching the seer leave, feeling more confused and frustrated than ever. His cryptic words echoed in my mind. “The only person who can give you audience with the Old Alpha is the one closest to you.” What was that supposed to mean? It didn’t make sense.I glanced at Dawn, and she looked... off. She’d been quiet the whole time, almost as if she knew something but didn’t want to say it. That thought confused me. What was going on with her? Why hadn’t she said anything?I could feel irritation building inside me. Why did the seer have to be so vague? He’d come here to give answers, not riddles. The situation was growing worse with every passing day, and I needed clarity to protect my pack, my mate, and myself. I couldn’t just sit around and wait for some vague “truth” to reveal itself.“What the hell did he mean?” I muttered to myself, pacing the room. I couldn’t let this go. The seer had said that the person closest to me could give me the audience I needed with the

    DawnI spent the rest of the day feeling dejected. The seer's words had been ringing in my head since this morning—Luna Prime. It was real. I was real. There was no denying it now, no running from it. I thought that finally having the truth would bring me some clarity, but instead, I just felt more lost than ever.And Rhys... I couldn’t figure him out. He hadn’t been angry, exactly, but there was something off. There was tension between us that hadn’t been there before, and I wasn’t sure if it was because of the seer’s revelation or because of something I did. Was he mad at me for not telling him sooner? Was he mad because being the Luna Prime meant he had to become Alpha Prime?I felt guilty. I knew he never wanted that role. He’d made it clear time and time again, and now, because of me, that responsibility was right there, looming over us both. But what could I do? I couldn’t change who I was. I couldn’t undo this.All I wanted was to make things right between us, but it seemed lik

    RhysI paced back and forth in my Den. I wasn't comfortable. Heck, I hadn't been in days. The seer did more bad than good to me. My wolf was restless, angry, and so damn loud in my head. I could feel his frustration bubbling just beneath the surface, demanding that I make things right with Dawn. But how? I didn’t know where to start, and every time I thought about what was happening, it was like my entire world was spinning out of control.The door creaked open, and I didn’t even need to look to know who it was. Marcus had a way of making his presence known without saying a word.“You’re going to wear a hole in that floor if you keep pacing like that,” he said dryly, leaning against the doorframe.I stopped, turning to face him. My fists clenched at my sides. “I don’t need a lecture right now.”He raised an eyebrow. “You don’t need a lecture, but you definitely need something. And by the looks of it, a wake-up call might be the only thing that helps.”I let out a low growl, barely co

Dawn and I found and now, she was in labor. The most terrifying and exhilarating moment of my life was happening, and I was completely out of my mind.I paced outside the room, my heart pounding against my ribs. The sounds of Dawn’s pain-filled cries tore through me. My stomach twisted with every sound, and it was taking every ounce of strength not to burst into the room and demand to know if she was okay."Alpha, please, sit down. It’s going to be fine." Nadia tried to calm me down, but I shook my head, running a hand through my hair."Fine?" I growled, the word coming out harsher than I intended. "She’s in pain, Nadia. What if something happens? What if—"Nadia smiled gently, cutting me off. "It’s normal, Rhys. You’ve seen her overcome worse than this. Trust in that strength."I wanted to believe her,

    RhysThe day Alex attacked Golden Crest, I was ready. His desperation had become so obvious that it was almost pitiful. Word had spread quickly, his forces gathering at the edge of our territory, preparing for what he likely thought would be a grand invasion. Fool. He didn’t know who he was dealing with.I scanned the forest line where his men were hiding. "Hold your positions," I commanded. My Deltas and warriors growled in anticipation. They were eager to spill blood, to protect their home. Alex’s forces weren’t as ready as they thought. From within them, someone gave an order and they charged. A ragtag group of rogues and fools ran straight into the open field where my warriors were waiting. "Take them down," I ordered calmly. My men moved like shadows, fast and lethal, cutting through Alex’s forces like they were nothing. I barely needed to lift a finger. His men fell one by one, their screams echoing through the trees. While none of my warriors were even touched.It was almos

    DawnI couldn't believe it. My head spun as I tried to absorb the words that had been thrown at me. Sofia. Lex. A maid. They had all conspired together to poison me. My skin prickled with anger. The worst part was the confirmation that I had been right about Lex all along. The discomfort I’d felt around him wasn’t just paranoia; it was instinct. He had changed, and not for the better. They caught up with him soon enough. There was nowhere he could hide. There was no place where Rhys' wrath wouldn't get to him. Rhys assured me that everything was under control. Lex and Sofia were being tortured in the dungeon. He didn't want to think about it or stress myself.But I couldn’t rest. Not with this burning need for answers clawing at my insides. The doctors had told me to take it easy, to rest for the baby’s sake, but how could I? My life had been turned upside down by people I thought were part of my world. I needed to confront them.First, I went to Lex.When I saw him sitting there,

    RhysThis had to be the worst type of fear I'd ever experienced. Why did she collapse again? Watching Dawn unconscious with her skin pale and chest barely moving was torture. My mind was racing, grasping at anything, trying to make sense of how this could have happened. The moment she collapsed the first time, I lost control.It was as if my greatest fear was manifesting before me."Move back, Alpha!" someone shouted at me, but I couldn't. My legs felt like they were glued to the ground. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her as they wheeled her into the emergency room. A hand gripped my shoulder, snapping me out of the daze. It was Kaden, his face grim, but his grip steadying. “She’ll be okay, Rhys.”"I swear to God, Kaden if anyone had a hand in this..." I couldn’t finish the sentence. I didn’t know if I was going to break down or tear the whole world apart. He nodded, his jaw clenched. “We’ll find them.”But finding them wouldn’t change the fact that Dawn was lying there unconsci

    DawnThe celebration after our return from Creekside was unlike anything I’d ever seen. The entire pack came alive with joy. Music echoed through the night and laughter bounced off the trees. Lights twinkled, and tables were piled high with food and drink. It was as if the very air had shifted and was filled with the energy of victory. Pack members danced, cheered, and toasted to Rhys and me, the new Alpha and Luna Prime. I felt so much pride and acceptance from them. This was our moment, and nothing could ruin it.Rhys kept me close the entire night, his hand never leaving mine, as if he were afraid I’d disappear if he let go. I could see the love and admiration in his eyes, but I also caught the worry. He hadn’t said anything yet, but I knew he felt something was off with me.To be honest, he wasn’t wrong. For days, I’d been feeling strange—this odd sense of imbalance in my body. It started with a bit of nausea, then evolved into random waves of dizziness. I chalked it up to stress,

    DawnThe day had finally arrived, but something about me felt off. It wasn’t the usual jitters before a mission or even the creeping anxiety of walking into enemy territory. This was different, like a knot twisted deep in my gut that I couldn’t unravel. But I knew better than to let it show. Not in front of Rhys.He’d been on edge all morning, pacing around like a caged wolf, his eyes constantly flicking to me with worry. I could feel the weight of his gaze, even when I pretended not to notice.“Dawn, are you sure you’re okay?” he asked for the third time, his voice tight with concern.I forced a smile, keeping my tone light. “I’m fine, Rhys. Just... thinking about everything that’s about to happen.”He studied me, his brow furrowing. I could see the doubt in his eyes, but I didn’t give him a chance to press. If he knew how unsettled I felt, he’d scrap the whole plan in a heartbeat. He’d always been overprotective, but this time it wasn’t just annoying—it could ruin everything.Maybe

    RhysI watched Dawn, her eyes shut in concentration, as she attempted to summon one of the pack members to us. Her brow furrowed in frustration as she reached out with her mind, trying to compel them to come. She was struggling, and I couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. I was making it harder for her, intentionally distracting her with my presence, but I couldn’t stop myself.She was more powerful than she realized. But that wasn't what terrified me.The thought of her walking into enemy territory unarmed, trusting those wolves who had already proven themselves traitors, made my blood boil. The plan was dangerous. Too dangerous for her. I wanted her safe, by my side, not out there pretending to be vulnerable when I knew she was anything but. And what if they figured her out? I couldn't stand the thought of that bastard Alex standing next to her.Yet, the more she struggled, the more I felt that guilt creep in. It wasn’t fair to her. She deserved my support, not my fear. Suddenly,

    DawnI stood at the edge of the training grounds. The cool breeze brushed against my skin, but it did nothing to calm the whirlwind of emotions inside me. The plan was set, and I was a key part of it. But before that, I needed to test the full range of my abilities by infiltrating enemy territory. My role was simple, at least on the surface. I’d summon the Lunas from the enemy packs, make them think I was naive enough to trust them, and then walk right into their territory, unarmed and unassuming. The idea was for them to believe they had me, and in doing so, we’d get the upper hand.But none of this felt simple. The truth was, I’d have to go back to Creekside, the same place I swore I’d never return to. Just thinking about it reminded me of the memories that haunted me. They were the same ones I had tried so hard to bury. Yet here I was, about to walk right back into that darkness.I glanced over at Rhys, who was watching me carefully as we stood together. We had been testing out ab

    RhysI was sitting in the Den with Marcus and Kaden, and my thoughts were all over the place. It was frustrating. The immediate danger had passed, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something darker was brewing. I could feel it. Ever since I’d accepted my role as Alpha Prime, my instincts had sharpened. I knew exactly which Alphas were plotting against us. Their plans and strategies weren't as mysterious as they thought.They were having meetings now, those Alphas. They were discussing all possible methods and entry points to get to Dawn. It was funny how they were yet to discern or reason about my possible position as Alpha Prime. All their focus remained on Dawn.They wanted what they believed was her power. They were getting desperate now and trying to sneak up on us with a disjointed alliance, each one more eager to stab the other in the back than to actually attack me.But there was one name that stuck in my mind like a thorn—Alex. That bastard. The thought of him was enough t
