|| Lilac's POV ||

The capital was alive with energy, the streets bustling with people and the air filled with the hum of conversation and laughter. The sun hung high in the sky, casting a golden glow over the city as Elara and I made our way to the most exclusive mall in the heart of the capital. The building itself was a marvel of modern architecture, its glass façade reflecting the sunlight like a jewel. Inside, the mall was a labyrinth of luxury, with high-end boutiques and designer stores lining the polished floors.

I wasn’t unfamiliar with luxury, my family’s status as the Blackwoods meant I’d grown up surrounded by opulence, but today felt different. The weight of the upcoming alpha council meeting pressed on my shoulders, and the thought of dressing for it made me feel oddly out of place. Elara, on the other hand, seemed right at home, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she linked her arm through mine.

“Okay, we need to find something formal but not bo

  • His Abandoned Luna   40. Shadows & Secrets-I

    || Lilac's POV ||I stood in front of the mirror, the soft fabric of the dress hugging my figure perfectly. The dress was stunning elegant, sophisticated, and exactly what I needed for the alpha council meeting. But the fact that it came from the Nightshades made my stomach twist. What connection did the Blackwoods have with them? Was there something hidden that my parents didn’t know about? Or worse, were they keeping something from me?I sighed, running my fingers over the delicate fabric. The Nightshades were a mystery, their motives unclear, and their sudden interest in my family was unsettling. I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this than met the eye. But before I could spiral further into my thoughts, I felt a familiar presence in the room.Sure enough, when I turned around, there he was. Alaric.He stood at the edge of the room, by the window, his tall frame casting long shadows against the walls. The dim light danced across his sh

  • His Abandoned Luna   41. Shadows & Secrets-II

    || Lilac’s POV || Dad and Mom turned their gazes to Ezra, and when they saw the pictures on the camera, their faces hardened. Dad’s sharp inhale was the only indication of his anger, while Mom’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Ezra, explain this,” Dad demanded, his tone leaving no room for argument. Ezra looked between us, his face a mixture of guilt and frustration. “Relax, you all. I just wanted to give Lilac a little surprise, okay? I know a lot has happened recently, and Lilac has been through so much. Though she smiles before us, I know it's hard on her. So I thought I’d get her the video games she used to play.” He turned to me, his eyes pleading. “I knew you liked them. I thought it would cheer you up. But the games are hard to find, so I met up with this guy I found on the internet.” He searched his pocket and threw a small box at me. It was the same box in the picture. “Here, you can look for yourself.” I caught it, my hands trembling, and slow

  • His Abandoned Luna   42. Alpha Council-I

    || Lilac’s POV ||The day of the alpha council meeting arrived, and with it came a storm of emotions I wasn’t entirely prepared for. I woke up early, the weight of the day pressing heavily on my chest. The dress from the Nightshades hung in my closet, a reminder of the mysterious forces that seemed to be closing in around my family. I slipped it on, the fabric cool against my skin, and took a deep breath as I looked at myself in the mirror. Today was about more than just appearances it was about proving myself, protecting my family, and confronting the shadows that had been lurking in the corners of my life.Dad was waiting for me downstairs, his expression calm but his eyes sharp with focus. Ezra was already in the car, slouched in the back seat with his arms crossed. He looked upset, his usual carefree demeanor replaced by a sullen silence. I couldn’t blame him. Being spied on, having his every move documented, was enough to shake anyone. But today wasn’t the day for

  • His Abandoned Luna   43. Alpha Council-II

    || Lilac's POV || The room was thick with tension, the air heavy with the weight of unspoken accusations and simmering anger. Kael’s smug expression lingered, his eyes locked on me as if daring me to falter. But I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. I stood tall, my shoulders squared, and my gaze steady as I addressed the room. “Since it has come to this,” I began, my voice cutting through the silence like a blade, “I think it is time we discuss the rogues.” Kael’s smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, his eyes narrowing as he processed my words. He had expected me to crumble under the weight of his accusations, to be left disheveled and defenseless. But I wasn’t the same Lilac once he knew. “You are right,” Kael said, his tone dripping with mockery. “We should start interrogating your brother for the incident.” His words were a challenge, a test to see if I would break. But I didn’t flinch. “That won’t be necessary,” I replied, my voice calm but f

  • His Abandoned Luna   44. Alpha Council-III

    || Lilac’s POV ||The room was silent, every eye fixed on me as I continued. “You see, this man has the normal scent of a werewolf, just like us. But if you look closely…” I stepped closer to the rogue and pulled down the high neck of his shirt, revealing the tattoo on his neck. “He is a rogue who has learned to have his scent. And thanks to my witty little brother, we caught him.”The murmurs began again, louder this time, as the alphas and lunas processed the revelation. Kael’s jaw dropped, his confidence shattered. The alpha king’s expression darkened, his jaw clenched as he stared at the rogue. Luna Cassandra was silent for once, her usual sharp tongue rendered useless by the unexpected turn of events.“Now the question is,” I said, my voice rising above the murmurs, “how many of them might be living among us, feeding on crucial information, noticing our every move? This is a serious threat, and I assume we need to increase our patrols, especially on the sou

  • His Abandoned Luna   1. The Shattered Crown

    || Lilac's POV ||"Please," I whispered, my voice shaking as I turned to Kael. "Let them go."The words felt foreign, bitter, like ashes on my tongue. I had never begged before, never thought I would have to. But for them-for my parents-I would swallow my pride.I had begged before Kaek. I had pleaded with Kael to remember the vows we made, the promises he had whispered in the dark when the world felt safe."You will always come first," he had told me, his voice a balm to my fears.That was before Coco. Before she swept into the palace like a storm, leaving ruin in her way. He swore nothing would change, that I would still be his queen, his love. It was all a lie. A beautiful, cruel lie.Kael's golden eyes flickered with something unreadable, gone before I could grasp it. His silence cut deeper than a blade. My hands clenched into fists, nails digging into my palms, but the pain was nothing compared to the ache inside me.The air reeked of blood and betrayal, thick and suffocating. The

  • His Abandoned Luna   2. The Fall of the Luna

    || Lilac's POV ||“You witch!” I snarled, my voice a mixture of pain and fury. My wolf howled within me, her grief echoing my own. But Kael’s expression remained impassive, his loyalty firmly with Coco. The woman who had destroyed my life, who had taken everything from me, stood behind him, her smirk a cruel reminder of my powerlessness.Tears streamed down my face as I looked at the bodies of my parents, their lives extinguished so callously, so cruelly. The chains that had bound them now seemed symbolic of the chains that had bound me—chains of duty, of love, of hope. But no more. The girl who had once believed in fairy tales, in happily ever afters, was gone. In her place stood a woman forged in fire and blood, her heart a battlefield of sorrow and rage."Tell me, Kael, was she worth slaughtering the entire Royal Beta lineage?" I yelled.The throne room was a cavern of memories, each stone etched with the echoes of my past. The high vaulted ceilings, adorned with banners of our pack

  • His Abandoned Luna   3. A Second Chance

    || Lilac's POV ||The world around me was a blur of color and sound, a cacophony of laughter, music, and applause that seemed to echo from every corner of the grand hall. The golden chandeliers overhead bathed the room in a warm, flickering glow, casting dancing shadows across the polished marble floors. Velvet banners adorned the towering walls, embroidered with the crest of our pack, the symbol of unity and strength, things I no longer believed in.My head spun, my thoughts tangled in a web of confusion and disbelief. One moment, I had been on the cold, unforgiving floor of the throne room, a dagger pressed to my stomach, my heart shattered into a thousand irreparable pieces. The next, I was here, standing in the midst of a celebration I had lived through once before, a celebration that had marked the beginning of my downfall.A tight, warm hug jolted me back to the present. The familiar scent of lavender and honey enveloped me, a scent that once meant home, comfort, safety. My breat

    || Lilac’s POV ||The days blurred together in a haze of ink-stained fingers and late-night study sessions. Dad’s office had become my refuge—the scent of old books and coffee grounding me as I poured over pack ledgers and border reports. Numbers, treaties, supply routes—things I’d never cared about in my past life now consumed me.Dad watched me with quiet pride, his usual stern expression softening whenever I asked a question."You're going cross-eyed, sweetpea," Dad murmured, nudging a steaming mug of cocoa toward me. The rich scent of chocolate cut through the musty smell of old parchment.I blinked, rubbing my temples. "Just trying to memorize the southern patrol routes." My voice came out hoarse from hours of silence.Dad's chair creaked as he leaned back, studying me with that quiet pride that made my throat tighten. "When did my little girl become so serious?"A smile tugged at my lips. "When I realized how much I didn't know."

    || Lilac’s POV ||I woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains and casting a warm glow over the room. For a moment, I just lay there, savoring the peacefulness of the moment. But then it hit me… how did I end up here? The last thing I remembered was being in the woods, by the river, with Alaric. The night had been magical, filled with laughter, stolen kisses, and a sense of belonging I hadn’t felt in a long time. But now, he was gone.I sat up, running a hand through my hair as I glanced around the room. His faint scent of pinewoods lingered in the air, a subtle reminder of his presence. My heart ached a little at his absence, but I pushed the feeling aside. Alaric had his own life, I barely knew him, and I couldn’t expect him to stay by my side all the time. Still, I couldn’t help but wish he were here.I freshened up quickly, the cool water from the sink helping to clear my mind. As I dragged my legs downstair

  • His Abandoned Luna   36. A Night to Remember

    || Lilac's POV ||The night wore on quicker than I had realised. The fairy lights above us twinkled like stars, casting a soft, golden glow over the clearing. The air was filled with the scent of food, shrimp pasta and tiramisu, my absolute favorites. I had no idea how Alaric had found out about my preferences, but the moment he opened the picnic basket and the aroma wafted out, my stomach growled in anticipation.“Hungry, dove?” Alaric teased, his voice low and smooth as he handed me a plate. His eyes sparkled with mischief, and I couldn’t help but blush as I took it from him.“Starving,” I admitted, my cheeks heating up as I dug into the pasta. The first bite was heavenly, the flavors exploding on my tongue. I couldn’t help but let out a small moan of satisfaction, which only made Alaric’s smirk widen.“You’re adorable when you eat,” he said, his tone playful but his gaze intense. He leaned closer, his eyes dropping to my lips. “You’ve got a little some
