Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 62. Days or years
Nox’s POV “Greedy,” I mumbled onto her, and withdrew my finger nearly to its tip. Only to add a second finger as I plunged back in. She let go entirely then. Her remaining composure shattered—sanity and pride gone as I filled her with those two fingers and sucked and nibbled, and release gathered around her like an iridescent mist. Fuck! I watched her fall apart beneath me, my wolf growling in approval. Gods, I should have done this long ago. But no, this was better now—when the craving between us was undeniable. Last night, when she came undone, it took everything in me to stop, to leave her before I crossed a line she might not want me to. Now, though, with her wolf stirring inside her, the bond between us pulsed stronger. I wasn’t sure if she understood it yet—how clear it was to me. Mate. She was my mate. Or maybe my wolf and I had lost our minds in wanting her this much. But whatever it was, I’d kneel at her feet for eternity if it meant giving her t
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 63. Shifting suspicion
Nox's POV Hunter appeared at the doorway just as I made to leave. "He came alone." I frowned, the unease prickling at my instincts like a thorn under my skin. Eamon is always slippery, always calculating. “No one else made it through?” Hunter shook his head. "No one. Just him this time." I snorted, a low, derisive sound. “Alone. How convenient.” Eamon was never alone unless he had an angle to play. “What about his wife?” “Didn’t bring her,” Hunter replied, eyes flicking to the direction of the chamber where Eamon waited. “That bastard’s never been this... fishy.” “Maybe struggling to keep a title that isn’t his finally made him slippery enough,” I muttered, walking down the hallway. "Should’ve turned him away at the border," Hunter muttered. “Would’ve saved us all this headache.” A smirk tugged at the corner of my mouth. "That would’ve tipped him off. He came here to learn something. Whatever it was. We send him back now, and we’re playing what
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 64. Information and service
Nox’s pov “What is it?” I demanded of Hunter as I reached him by the ground hall. “The rogues.” He simply said. I narrowed my gaze, weighing the possibility of another attack. No, that wasn’t it. Not this soon. “What happened?” “One’s dying. He’s refused to eat for days now, and we can’t risk taking him to the infirmary without raising suspicion.” “Then get Viktor. Have him meet you at the dungeon,” I ordered. “I’ll be there once I’m done with the spy.” Hunter hesitated, his eyes flicking to me. “Is Draven on duty for you? I haven’t seen him. Surprised you didn’t send him to track the rogues’ camp.” That too—his absence was starting to drag on too long. Something twisted in my gut. “He’s at Moonveil Pack, keeping an eye on Eamon. Tracking his moves and... a few other things. But now that you mention it, his silence is concerning.” Hunter’s jaw tightened. He was thinking what I was—if Draven had been discovered, the consequences would be severe.
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 65. The late Luna
Willa’s POV “Is the Alpha alright?” Gaia’s voice cut through the stillness like a blade, jolting me from my thoughts. I blinked, focusing on her. “What?” I stammered, still shaken. “Why do you ask?” She tilted her head, studying me, her brow furrowed in quiet suspicion. “You look... off. Like something happened. Was there an attack?” “No,” I answered too quickly, my throat tightening. I forced a calmness I didn’t feel. “There’s no attack. Everything’s fine.” Gaia wasn’t buying it. Her eyes narrowed, though her posture relaxed slightly as she leaned against the railing, arms folded. “You seem... closer to him now.” Heat flared up my neck and into my cheeks. I could feel it spread across my face, betraying me. I turned away, swallowing hard as I tried to push down the flush rising in my skin. “It’s not like that,” I said quickly, my voice stiff. “It’s... just political. A bargain.” Her lips twitched into a half-smile, but she didn’t press the issue. B
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 66. Nice to meet again
Nox’s POV I sat behind my desk, the small note in my hand like a ticking bomb. One single line, scrawled hastily, almost like an afterthought. Hunter stood in front of me, his arms crossed, eyes narrowed as he leaned forward slightly, reading the strain on my face. "What does it say?" he asked, his voice low and cautious. I ran a thumb over the paper, crumpling it slightly. "He wants to meet," I sighed, throwing the note down on the desk. "At the lake." Hunter’s brow furrowed, and he ran a hand through his blonde hair, the gesture revealing his unease. "Are you serious?" His voice was sharp now, disbelief coloring his tone. "And you're going to go?" I nodded, even though every part of me rebelled at the thought. "I have to." Hunter exhaled loudly. "You think this is smart? After all this time, Vad suddenly asks for a meet-up. That doesn't feel like a red flag to you? It's not like him, Nox. He’s never done this before. Why now?" I groaned, leani
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 67. Not so pleasant
Willa's POV My heart pounded, heavy and frantic, as if it were trying to escape my chest. But it wasn’t fear of getting killed that caused the turmoil—it was what I’d just learned. Two of them. Two Noxs. I stared at the pair of Alpha males before me, identical in every way that mattered. The same sharp jawline, the same arrogant smirk. No one had warned me just how alike they were. Damn it. I’d just learned of him having a sibling today. If I hadn’t followed Nox here, I wouldn’t know which was the Alpha of the pack and which wasn’t. Twins. I should have guessed this morning when I found out about his brother. But seeing them side by side… it was terrifying. Nox stood between me and the other—the one with the dark glint in his eye that sent a shiver down my spine. His smile, that smile—I’d seen it before. In my first days here, and even a week ago when I thought Nox was just being his usual arrogant self. But no, this wasn’t Nox. This was Vad. The banished bro
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 68. Vad
Nox’s POV “Don’t take another step toward her,” I ground out, my voice low and edged with warning. Vad ignored, not the slightest bit concerned. He kept his eyes on Willa, and something inside me snapped. He stood just barely two steps away, his shoulders loose, his face a mask of casual disdain. But I knew better. I could see it—the flicker of madness behind his eyes, that ever-present hunger lurking in his smirk. If our roles were reversed, if he had to deal with half of what I had, he would’ve burned this place to the ground by now. Hell, he’d have lit the match himself, grinning while the flames swallowed everything whole. But that’s the difference between us. I keep my control. I have to. My wolf, however, was another story. It growled, scraping at my skin, desperate to be unleashed, but I held it in check. Barely. It took everything I had not to lunge at Vad as he smirked, his gaze shifting—drifting too close to her, and my chest tightened, heat rising i
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 68. An unusual Nox
Willa’s POV Nox’s study was much suffocating this time and I wasn't sure which was better. The woods or here. He wasn’t calm—not even close. I wasn’t either. Hunter stood by the door, his presence careful, watching us with a hawk’s eye. I could feel his unease. He knew better than to interrupt when things were this volatile, I haven't seen Nox this—this apprehensive or furious before… it frightened me more than I would have liked. His face had twisted into something horrible in the woods. And I’d never known such fear. But at least now I knew who Vad is. Now I knew there were two of them. And that madness may show up anytime. Nonetheless, Hunter voiced his words. “Alpha... while you were gone, the pack received a message from your brother, Vad.” There was no hiding that fact from me again. That Vad was the Alpha’s brother. And I wondered why I never asked about the identity of Vad before. Damn, the heavens. “What did he say?” His fa

Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 98. Mine! Mate
Willa’s POV I watched as relief flickered across Nox's face—subtle enough that weeks ago, I wouldn't have caught it. Now, I was learning to read the micro-expressions that crossed those sharp features, the tiny tells that betrayed his thoughts. "You all were late," I said, adjusting my robe more tightly around myself. Water still dripped from my hair—and my scalp still hurt. The plan had been simple: appear vulnerable, draw out whoever was working against us from within. And it had worked—perhaps too well, considering the attempted drowning in my own bathtub. But I knew Nox well enough by now to suspect there was more to his and Vad's absence. He never made a move without multiple purposes. "Had to take the long way back," Nox explained. "Needed to ensure we weren't followed." Beside him, Vad cocked his head, a small grin playing at the corners of his mouth as he watched me. "Besides," Nox continued, clicking his tongue, "you had Astrid and Davina
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 97. The first plan
Willa’s POV The air was tense on the front porch of the pack house, the crisp bite of the evening brushing against my skin as I stood beside Astrid. My arms crossed tightly over my chest, I couldn't help but watch Nox and Vad standing a few steps ahead. Their postures were strikingly similar—broad shoulders squared, heads held high— And then there was her. Davina. She lingered too close to Vad, her hand brushing his arm as if staking some unspoken claim. I wasn’t sure what her purpose was. Was she going with them, or was she just here to see him off? Astrid adjusted her stance beside me, the soft creak of her leather boots catching my attention. She was dressed simply for once—brown leather pants and a loose, long-sleeved shirt. But I knew her well enough to see past the simplicity; beneath those flowing sleeves and tucked into her boots were a small arsenal of daggers. She shifted her weight slightly, wincing as her injured shoulder protested. "Seems
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 96. Why do the wrong ones suffer?
Willa’s POV "Home?" The word escaped me like a challenge. "What do you mean, home?" The aftermath of Eamon's revelation churned inside me like a poisonous brew. Emotions twisted and coiled, threatening to break through the fragile barrier I'd constructed. Eamon's claims about my father—they burned, not with divulgence, but with a fury that threatened to consume everything in its path. What if the claim was true? The thought flickered and died. Truth or lie, nothing could justify the devastation. Not what he'd done to me. Not what he'd done to Astrid. Not the cubs torn from their mother. Not the lives destroyed in his wake. I locked those thoughts away, deep in the darkest recesses of my mind. A place where emotions became weapons, where pain transformed into something. Vad's eyebrow arched. "Whoa," he drawled, his voice a silk-wrapped knife, "those frown lines could topple kingdoms." I stepped forward, I was in leather pants and a shirt now. Good fo
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 95. Her rage
Nox’s POV I’d anticipated a lot of fallout, but not this. Fuck! Silence punctured the council chamber, thick with implied pressure and disbelief. My jaw clenched, muscles coiled tight beneath my skin as I watched Willa—her frame vibrating with a rage so pure, so concentrated it could slice through steel. But only visible enough for me to tell. Somehow, they had escaped—not by magic, but by conscious layout. Even with the young woman’s gifts as a seer, no strange power had intervened after the smoke flared. This had been deliberate, every step mapped out. The shockwave that came with it had sent a few Alpha tumbling. And Willa… she wasn’t startled. With all Eamon had revealed about her father, it was impossible to tell which emotion churned within her the most. Was it hatred? Wrath? For once I feared her thought. The dagger remained where it was, untouched—for now. But I knew, without a doubt, that if the moment had been hers, she would not have he
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 94. The big reveal
Nox’s POV The pressure in the council chamber thickened as the drunk's voice quivered, each word dragged from his throat. "I got to know Pack Leader Eamon during a raid on the eastern villages of the Moonviel Pack years ago. We were being led by Rogue Leader Thadeus then..." Finneas's face darkened, a deep frown etching lines across his forehead. "What?" The drunk's fingers trembled against the floor. "Yes, it was so brother…" He swallowed hard. "A chance encounter—or rather, an unlucky one on a full moon night. Thadeus was..." His voice cracked. "Thadeus was energetic as ever with his speeches, rallying us for the raids. It was going well at first. He was a good wolf—the only reason he agreed to that raid was because we got word of a cargo caravan moving supplies through the Cull Path." "Those were dark times. I had barely passed being a cub. Finneas remember—we had no food. Our camp was starving, wolves turning on each other. Thadeus never wanted that future for h
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 93. More surprises
Nox’s POV Chaos erupted instantly—chairs scraping, claws extending, growls filling the air. "What sorcery is this?" Kora leaped to her feet. "Guards, to arms!" "Whoa, whoa!" Vad raised his hands in mock surrender, his grin mirror-identical to my own, if I was in his shoes, which I wasn't. "Everybody hold on. I'm only here in an observing capacity. After all, the host is my brother, and this is still my house." "So that's how you do it," I mused, though I'd suspected his presence. Not this early, perhaps—but my brother had clearly mastered the art of concealment even more than before. "One lost brother fighting their kind," Kora snarled. "Unforgivable." I noticed Willa hadn't even flinched at Vad's appearance, and I wasn't sure if that pleased or concerned me. Vad's smile turned cruel. "Their kind? Oh, you mean the dark roams. Yet you all managed to defeat them. There are so few of them left, they're literally extinct." "Everyone calm down," I co
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 92. My Luna, My Woman
Nox’s POV "Alpha, they have all arrived." Hunter's voice carried a weight I hadn't heard in years.. I turned from the window where I'd been watching shadows lengthen across the courtyard. "Tell me, what time is it?" "The moon is just starting to appear." Hunter's eyes flickered to the darkening sky, then back to me. "A fitting hour for what's to come." "And everything is in place?" I kept my voice neutral, though my wolf prowled beneath my skin, eager for what lay ahead. Hunter shifted his weight, a tell from our childhood days that he wasn't entirely comfortable. "Yes... but I still think there's more to be done, given how high the stakes are tonight." His jaw tightened. "Too many bad ideas floating around." A smirk tugged at my lips. "Those bad ideas are what makes it exciting." I straightened my jacket. "The thrill of not knowing what's going to happen next." "You're beginning to scare me, Nox." The use of my name rather than my title spoke volumes
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 91. A letter
Nox’s POV The morning sun hadn't yet cleared the mountains when I turned to Hunter. "Triple the guards around the pack house." He nodded, falling into step beside me as we strode through the corridors. The events of the previous night—the cubs, the thrall's visit—had left an unsettling weight in my gut. "The cubs?" I asked, pausing at one of the tall windows overlooking the training grounds. "Fed, washed, and rested." Hunter's expression softened slightly. "Surprisingly resilient for what they've been through. Almost... eager." I filed that detail away for later consideration. "And our friend, the thrall?" "Paid and gone. I made sure he understood the wisdom of keeping his distance from our territory." A ghost of a smile touched Hunter's lips. "We won't be seeing Dick again." "Good." We emerged onto the main balcony, the morning air crisp with the promise of autumn. Below, guards patrolled in precise patterns, but I knew better than to trust in
Howl of the Cursed Luna Chapter 90. I trust you
Nox’s POV The silk sheets whispered against my skin as I sank into my bed, muscles aching—being an Alpha was never the cushy job others imagined it to be. I unbuttoned my shirt, tossing it aside as my gaze drifted to my reflection in the mirror, noting the nearly faded scratch marks across my shoulder. Even though it’s been a day, I could still smell that distinct floral scent. My wolf prowled beneath my skin, unsatisfied with just her lingering presence. We both wanted more. "Can't remember the last time I turned in early," I muttered, my eyes drawn to the empty expanse of my bed. The last time I'd suggested she stay, she'd fixed me with that fierce look of hers—equal parts defiance and something darker that made my blood sing. Her refusal only made me want her more, and the goddess herself must be laughing at my predicament. A sharp knock interrupted my brooding. "Enter," I called out, not bothering to retrieve my shirt. Few would dare disturb me
