Valeria

Kade’s gaze was intense as he stood in the middle of the room, his arms crossed. “About what happened back at the motel…”

My pulse quickened. I wasn’t sure if I was ready for this.

He hesitated for a moment before continuing. “Look, Valeria. That kiss… It shouldn’t have happened.”

I flinched at his words, but he didn’t seem to notice.

“We are mates,” he said, his tone softening slightly, “and I want this to work out between us. But until your name is cleared, we can’t… I can’t…” He trailed off, rubbing the back of his neck as though the words were difficult to get out. “We need to keep our bond in check.”

My stomach sank. “So you’re saying we should pretend like nothing happened?”

His jaw tightened, and he avoided my gaze. “I’m saying that until I’m sure you didn’t have anything to do with the Alpha King’s death, I can’t let emotions cloud my judgement.”

I stared at him, a bitter laugh escaping my lips. “Judgement? You mean your judgement. Because you’ve already made up your m

    ValeriaOpening the door, I was greeted by a tall, broad-shouldered figure who wore a disarmingly cheerful expression. For a moment, I blinked, caught off guard by the unexpected warmth.“You must be Valeria,” the man said, flashing a bright smile. “I’m Finnian, the pack’s scout. I’ve been sent to bring you to the dining room for dinner.”I nodded, trying to adjust to the contrast of his easy demeanor, so different from Kade’s. “I’m surprised,” I admitted, as I followed him down the hall. “You’re much less… grumpy than Kade.”Finnian let out a hearty chuckle, the sound echoing through the dimly lit hallway. “Kade? Grumpy? That’s an understatement. He’s more like a thundercloud walking on two legs.”I couldn’t help but smile at that. It was nice to share a light moment, even if it didn’t last. As we walked through the corridors, my stomach twisted with nerves. Meeting Kade’s subordinates wasn’t exactly on my list of things I was excited about, especially given my situation.When we rea

    ValeriaThe early morning light filtered through the curtains as I slowly blinked my eyes open. A strange feeling tugged at my senses, an awareness that something was off. My heart jumped in my chest when I turned and saw Kade standing by my bed, his face mere inches from mine, his breath steady but deep. He was close enough that I knew he was inhaling my scent. My wolf stirred, both startled and curious.“Kade?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. The intimacy of the moment left me feeling exposed.As if sensing my discomfort, Kade straightened and took a step back. His face, which had softened for just a second, hardened into the stern look I’d come to associate with him. Any vulnerability that had been there was locked away again, hidden behind the walls he constantly kept up.“You’re coming with me to the training grounds,” he said, his tone clipped and all business. “Elder Eamon wants you there.”I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. “Eamon wants me to come? Are you sur

    ValeriaAs soon as Kade and I rounded a corner where no one could see us, I barely had a second to process what was happening before he grabbed me by the shoulders and slammed me against the wall. My breath hitched, both from the shock of his roughness and the sight of his face, twisted in anger. He was seething, his eyes dark with fury.“What the hell was that back there?” Kade growled, his grip tightening on my collar. His face was inches from mine, his breath hot against my skin. “What did you do, Valeria?”“I—I don’t know,” I stammered, my heart racing. “I swear, I don’t know what happened back there.”But he wasn’t listening. His hands dug deeper into the fabric of my shirt as he shook me slightly, his body trembling with barely restrained rage. “Don’t lie to me,” he hissed. “That kind of power, it doesn’t just come out of nowhere.”“I’m not lying!” I protested, trying to wriggle free, but Kade’s hold was too strong. “I don’t know what that was. It just happened!”Kade’s eyes nar

    ValeriaThe sudden knock on my door jolted me awake. I blinked groggily, realizing that I had fallen asleep on the floor, curled up by the door after crying myself into exhaustion. My eyes were swollen, my face still damp with the remnants of tears. I sat up slowly, the ache in my chest a dull reminder of the mess I had caused earlier with Kade.Another knock echoed through the room, and I wiped my face, trying to pull myself together before standing. When I opened the door, Finnian stood there with a small tray of food in his hands, his usual cheerful expression softening when he saw me.“I thought you might be hungry,” he said gently, holding out the tray. “I know it’s been a rough day.”I forced a small smile and took the tray from him, grateful for the gesture. “Thanks, Finnian,” I murmured, stepping back into the room and placing the tray on the table.Before he could turn to leave, I hesitated, my thoughts immediately drifting to Kade. I knew I had hurt him, but I had no idea ho

    ValeriaThe kitchen was quiet when I slipped downstairs in the early morning. The packhouse, usually buzzing with activity, was still, and it was almost peaceful as I padded barefoot across the cool floor, feeling a strange calm in the silence. I headed straight for the kitchen, needing a drink of water to soothe the dry knot in my throat after the restless night I had.As I approached the fridge, I halted, realising I wasn’t alone. Kade stood in front of the open refrigerator, his broad frame illuminated by the faint light from inside. My instinct was to turn around and leave, but something made me hesitate. His wrist was still wrapped in the bandage, the injury from when I accidentally used that strange burst of power on him, and he was struggling to reach for something on the top shelf. His left arm hung stiffly, still numb from the strain.I sighed quietly, unsure whether to help or let him figure it out himself. My feet moved before my mind could decide.“Here, let me,” I said, s

    ValeriaAs we arrived at the packhouse of the wolf pack, a strange blend of familiarity and unease washed over me. The towering structure with its rustic stone walls and heavy wooden doors felt like home, yet beneath that comfort lay an undeniable sense of danger, as if unseen eyes were watching me. My heart pounded, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong. I don’t know what it was about but the feeling wouldn’t shake off my mind. It was as if the dangers were lurking in the shadows, waiting for me to make a mistake or for me to come to it, almost like that undeniable pull I felt as it drew me back to the wolf pack on that night I came back here.The moment I stepped out of the car, I was greeted by the comforting presence of Rylan and Aiden. Their faces were solemn but kind, both of them exuding a warmth I clung to. Their faces weren’t masked with stern expressions unlike Kade who looked like he had just finished fighting in a war. “Valeria,”

    ValeriaI couldn’t shake the chill that crept up my spine as I watched one of the cloaked figures disperse into the shadows. Had they seen me? My heart was racing, and I could barely keep my breaths steady as I stayed hidden in the darkness. But then, just as I was about to turn and slip back into the packhouse, something caught my eye. One of the figures had broken off from the group, disappearing into the woods behind the courtyard.The other person had disappeared out of sight just before I could poke my head out again.I hesitated for a moment. I knew it wasn’t wise to follow someone into the forest, especially someone I suspected was involved in the Alpha King’s death, but my curiosity burned hotter than my sense of self-preservation. Without thinking, I found myself stepping into the moonlit path, trailing behind the cloaked figure at a safe distance.Each step was calculated, my feet moving as silently as possible on the dirt path. The figure ahead of me moved swiftly, like they

    Valeria My legs ached with every step, the soreness from the fight with the rogue gnawing at me, but I forced myself to keep going. The sight of the packhouse brought a rush of relief, but it was fleeting. As I drew closer, I saw Kade standing outside, his eyes scanning the darkness. There was an unmistakable look of worry etched into his features. It was a look I hadn’t seen from him before, and for some reason, it made my chest tighten.The moment he spotted me, he rushed toward me, his brows furrowed in concern. “Where have you been?” he demanded, his voice sharp with worry. “You disappeared from your room all of a sudden. I thought—”“I just needed to get some fresh air,” I interrupted, forcing a small smile, though it was nowhere near convincing. There was no way I was going to tell him the truth—not about the rogue, the fight, or the strange power that had burst out of me again. He wouldn’t believe me anyway.Kade’s eyes roamed over me, taking in my disheveled appearance, the c

    KadeThe dawn came too soon. The faint light filtering through the curtains signaled the beginning of another battle, another fight for survival. But for the first time in a long time, I wasn’t dreading it as much as I usually would. Valeria was still asleep beside me, her body curled against mine, her steady breathing the only sound in the room. It was a rare moment of peace, one I knew wouldn’t last.But I didn’t want to wake her yet. She’d fought so hard to bring our packs together, to show everyone, including me, that she was the Luna we all needed. And I’d fought her at every turn, believing I knew better. But now, holding her close, I realized how wrong I’d been.I’d spent so much time worrying about protecting Shadowfang and keeping it separate that I hadn’t seen the bigger picture. Valeria’s strength wasn’t just in her leadership—it was in her ability to unite, to make people believe in something greater than themselves. Including me. I had to stop thinking that my way was the

    KadeThe fire crackled in the pit, casting shadows across the stone walls of the meeting chamber. The air was thick with the tension that lingered after every battle, a kind of pressure that sat heavy on my chest. I could feel the eyes of Valeria’s council on me, their judgment hanging in the balance. It wasn’t just Shadowfang’s future that rested on this alliance—it was my own relationship with Valeria. And after all the mistakes I’d made, I wasn’t sure I had the right to ask for their trust.But I had to try. Not just for Shadowfang, but for her.I straightened in my seat, forcing myself to meet the gaze of the man across from me, Valeria’s Beta, Torin. He’d always been suspicious of me, ever since I’d stepped into Valeria’s life. I couldn’t blame him. I hadn’t exactly been forthcoming, especially when I kept Shadowfang’s independence at the forefront. But that was over now. I needed to show them all that I was committed to this alliance.“Shadowfang is prepared to stand with you,”

    KadeThe air was thick with the scent of blood and sweat, the sounds of battle echoing around me as I fought through the chaos. Malachai’s forces had come at us harder than I anticipated. Shadowfang’s warriors, Valeria’s pack—everyone was giving their all. But it wasn’t enough. Not yet.My wolf growled inside me, restless, urging me to push harder, to protect them all. But more than anything, I had to protect her.I caught sight of Valeria at the center of the battlefield, her movements fierce and precise as she took down an enemy rogue with a single, brutal swipe. Even now, she was magnificent—strong, commanding, everything a Luna should be. My heart clenched as I watched her, a surge of protectiveness roaring through me. I’d been holding back for too long, distancing myself under the excuse of duty, of responsibility to my pack. But seeing her now, in the midst of battle, I knew there was no more running.She was my Luna. And I was hers.Another rogue lunged toward her, and before I

    KadeThe weight of the prophecy hangs over me like a shadow I can’t shake.It’s a prophecy that warns of a “dark king,” a figure who will bring ruin and devastation to those around him. It doesn’t name anyone outright, doesn’t point to me specifically—but I can’t help but feel its claws digging into my conscience. Every decision I’ve made, every step I’ve taken away from Valeria, away from fully embracing our bond, has begun to feel like a pathway toward that destruction.And I’m the one walking us straight into it.I’ve always been devoted to Shadowfang, to my pack. My life, my entire being, has revolved around protecting them, making sure that we stand strong no matter what threats come our way. But as the days go by, as tensions mount and the threat of Malachai grows more pressing, I’m starting to wonder if my loyalty to the pack has been misplaced—if, in my pursuit of keeping them safe, I’ve been dooming Valeria to struggle alone.I’ve failed her.I should be the one standing at h

    KadeI didn’t mean for it to get this bad.I stared at Valeria, her eyes ablaze with fury, her fists clenched at her sides. The tension in the room was palpable, thick enough to cut through, and I knew—I knew—that I had crossed a line. But I couldn’t take back the words I had said. Couldn’t undo the damage they had caused.“This isn’t about control,” I snapped, though even as the words left my mouth, I knew they weren’t entirely true. “This is about keeping us safe. Keeping you safe.”Valeria’s laugh was sharp, bitter. “Don’t try to spin this into something noble, Kade. This is about you thinking I can’t handle my role. That I can’t lead without you micromanaging every decision I make!”I winced at the bite in her voice, but I held my ground. “I’m trying to protect Shadowfang. The pack is my responsibility.”Her eyes narrowed, and she took a step closer, her presence commanding the space between us. “Our responsibility. I’m the Luna, or have you forgotten that?”I hadn’t forgotten. Of

    KadeThe air was thick with tension as I stood in the center of the war room, staring at the map in front of me. Every detail had been meticulously planned—our defenses, the patrols, the routes we’d take to safeguard Shadowfang from Malachai’s rogues. And yet, something felt off. I couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling crawling up my spine.I trusted my warriors, every single one of them. They were brothers and sisters to me. My lieutenants had fought alongside me for years. We’d faced countless battles together, survived countless threats. The idea that one of them could be a traitor… I didn’t want to believe it.But I couldn’t ignore the reports. There had been small signs, whispers of strange behavior, subtle shifts in communication patterns. Information we should have kept tight within our pack had been slipping through the cracks. Someone was leaking details—strategic details—to Malachai. And now, it was clear that the ambush was more than just luck on his part.I gritted my teeth, g

    Kade The report in front of me felt like a weight pressing against my chest, each word sinking deeper into my thoughts. Malachai’s presence was growing, his rogues testing our borders more frequently, and his attacks becoming bolder. This wasn’t just a random series of strikes—he was probing, searching for our weak spots. Every time we fought them back, they retreated, but I knew it was only a matter of time before he found the chink in our armor.Shadowfang had always been prepared, always vigilant. It was my job to ensure we stayed that way. The safety of the pack was my first and only priority, and Malachai was becoming an ever-present threat I couldn’t afford to ignore.I scanned the intelligence report again, noting the details—movements near the eastern border, rogue sightings near our supply routes, a pattern in their retreats that suggested they were mapping our defenses. I clenched my fist, the muscles in my jaw tightening. We couldn’t let this go on much longer.“Alpha?” Ro

    Kade The sounds of training filled the Shadowfang camp as I watched my warriors spar under the midday sun. The rhythmic clang of steel on steel, the grunts of exertion, and the sharp commands of our combat instructors were a familiar comfort to me. This was where I belonged—leading, strategizing, ensuring that Shadowfang remained the powerful force it had always been.My pack looked to me for leadership, and I gave them everything I had. Every decision, every battle plan, every word spoken at council meetings was weighed with the same question: how does this protect Shadowfang? I couldn’t afford mistakes. Not with Malachai’s forces lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.But lately, the tension between Shadowfang and Valeria’s pack had been growing, and it was weighing on me more than I wanted to admit. My bond with Valeria should have made things easier—two powerful packs standing united, with their Alpha and Luna stronger together than apart. Yet, the real

    KadeAs I stood at the edge of the Shadowfang pack’s territory, surveying the forest that stretched out in every direction, the familiar weight of responsibility settled in my chest. Shadowfang had always been my life—my first priority, my last thought before sleep, and the one thing that kept me going, even in the darkest of times. I’d fought tooth and nail to keep this pack safe, to strengthen it, and ensure that we could hold our own in a world full of enemies. My devotion to Shadowfang ran deeper than blood. It was my legacy, and I had no intention of ever letting it fall.But lately, that sense of purpose had been fractured. Not by an enemy, not by a rival pack or a threat from within, but by something far more intimate. Valeria.She was my mate. The bond between us was undeniable, a connection that hummed beneath my skin every time she was near. It should have been simple—claiming her, building a future together. But nothing about our situation was simple. She was the Luna of he
