Valeria

The night was thick with tension, the air heavy with something unspoken, yet palpable. I could feel it all around me, seeping into the bones of my pack. Whispers of uncertainty, of war, had already begun to circulate among my people. And now, as I sat in the council chamber waiting for Elder Seraphine to arrive, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something monumental was about to shift.

The room was dimly lit, the fire in the hearth crackling as I stared into the flames, my thoughts running wild. My decisions, my alliances, my refusal to bend to tradition—I’d felt strong, invincible even. But lately, the weight of leadership felt heavier, the choices more precarious. Kieran had proven a valuable ally, but his presence had only intensified the tension between my mates and me. And now, with Malachai’s veiled threats escalating, I knew there was no time left for uncertainty.

The door creaked open, and Elder Seraphine entered, her silver hair catching the glow of the firelight. She

    Valeria The prophecy hung over me like a shadow, a constant reminder that time was running out. War was inevitable, but I refused to be caught unprepared. If the dark king—whoever he was—wanted to claim my pack, he’d have to tear it from my hands. And I would make sure that wasn’t an easy feat.For days, I had been relentless in preparing my pack. I could see the strain in their eyes, the unspoken fear in their glances, but they trusted me. They believed I would lead them through the storm, and that belief fueled my determination. I would not let them down. Not after everything we’d been through.I stood on the training grounds, watching as a group of warriors drilled under the command of my Beta. Their movements were sharp, calculated, but I could sense their exhaustion. I knew I was pushing them hard, but they needed to be ready. We all did.Kieran appeared at my side, his presence a constant now. My newest ally had been invaluable in preparing us for the rogue tactics Malachai was

    Valeria As I stood there on the edge of our territory, Kieran’s words still ringing in my ears, a heavy silence fell over the forest. The air was thick with the tension of things left unsaid, the looming war, and the weight of leadership pressing down on me. My thoughts churned, trying to map out every possible move, every outcome. But the truth was, no matter how strong or prepared we were, I knew Malachai had a plan that we hadn’t yet uncovered.Suddenly, one of my scouts sprinted through the trees, skidding to a stop in front of me. His face was flushed, his breathing labored. “Luna,” he gasped, “there’s a situation at the northern border. Rogues—dozens of them—are advancing. They’ve already breached one of our patrols.”I stiffened. It was too soon. We weren’t ready for this. I turned to Kieran, whose expression had gone cold and calculating. “Get the warriors to the northern post,” I ordered, my voice sharp and clear. “We’ll need all the defenses we can muster.”Kieran nodded an

    Valeria The battle was a blur of blood and fury, the echoes of snarls and screams still ringing in my ears as I called for a retreat. My heart pounded, adrenaline coursing through me as I surveyed the battlefield, littered with bodies—some rogue, some my own. I clenched my fists, bloodied but still capable of gripping power. The rogues were retreating, for now, but this wasn’t a victory. Not yet.I turned toward Kieran, who had been fighting on the western flank. He moved toward me, his face grim, dark smears of blood streaked across his armor. Behind him, a group of warriors limped away from the front lines, dragging the wounded and tending to those too weak to walk. The sight sent a pang through my chest, but I forced myself to maintain a steady gaze.“Kieran, report,” I said, my voice sharp with command despite the tightness in my throat.Kieran wiped his brow, exhaustion clear in his eyes. “We managed to hold the western flank,” he said, his tone flat. “But just barely. The rogue

    Valeria As I stepped through the doors of the packhouse, I felt the weight of the battle still heavy on my shoulders. My bloodied clothes clung to me, a reminder of the chaos and the lives lost today. The halls were quieter than usual, a solemn air hanging over the pack as warriors and healers tended to the injured. I could hear murmurs, whispers that followed me like a shadow. Some were expressions of admiration, others… doubt. The latter stung the most.I had fought on the front lines, risked everything to defend the pack, yet here I was, walking into what felt like enemy territory within my own home. Every step seemed to echo my mistakes, my decisions now under scrutiny. I was their Luna Queen, but how many truly stood with me?As I approached the council chambers, I braced myself for the inevitable confrontation. The council had called for a meeting immediately after the battle. They never missed an opportunity to voice their concerns, especially after a day like today. I took a

    Valeria The low hum of conversation filled the war room as I stood at the head of the table, staring down at the map sprawled before me. The bloodshed from the recent battle still weighed heavily on my mind. I could feel it in every tense muscle and the lingering ache in my bones, but I couldn’t afford to stop now. We’d barely survived the rogue attacks orchestrated by Malachai, and I knew this was only the beginning. If I didn’t act soon, there would be nothing left of my pack to protect.I was pulled from my thoughts as Kieran stepped forward, his face grim and determined. He’d been my most loyal advisor since this war began, always with sound advice and a cool head, even when things looked bleak. His sharp eyes met mine, and I could already tell he had something weighing on him.“Valeria,” he began, his voice low but firm, “we need to strengthen our intelligence network.”I nodded, already knowing where he was going with this. “You think we’re flying blind.”“We are.” Kieran didn’

    KadeI watched from the shadows as Valeria paced the war room, her brow furrowed in thought. Even with the weight of the world on her shoulders, she carried herself like the Luna Queen she was meant to be—strong, unyielding. But I could see the strain in her posture, the exhaustion that never quite left her eyes. And it killed me.I had been keeping my distance, feeding her the information she needed, guiding her when I could, but always from afar. It was safer this way—for her, for me. I couldn’t risk getting close again, not with everything at stake. The mate bond between us was still there, a living, breathing thing, pulsing beneath the surface. But I couldn’t let it dictate my decisions. Not now.The last time we had tried to bridge the gap between us, it had only ended in more pain. We had too much history, too many scars that hadn’t healed. And yet, every time I saw her, every time I caught the faintest trace of her scent, the bond tightened its grip on me, pulling me toward her

    AidenThe moonlight streamed through the windows of Valeria’s chambers, casting a cold glow across the stone walls. I stood just outside the door, waiting. Always waiting. She didn’t know it, but I was doing this for her. Everything I had done—every word, every action—was to keep her safe, to keep her close. But she was stubborn, always insisting on her independence, always pushing me away when I was the one person who could truly protect her.I clenched my fists, trying to maintain control. She would understand in time. She had to.The prophecy hung over my head like a dark cloud, the words echoing in my mind again and again. A “dark king” rising to claim control over the shifter world. The first time I heard it, a flicker of unease had sparked in my chest. But I quickly pushed it aside. Prophecies were vague, full of metaphor and half-truths. They could be twisted, interpreted in a thousand different ways.And yet, Valeria seemed to be taking it all too seriously. I could see it in

    RylanThe forest was alive with the sounds of battle: the clash of steel, the guttural growls of rogues, and the cries of my men as they fought to stay alive. My breath came in sharp, controlled bursts as I sprinted through the trees, following the trail of blood and chaos. Valeria’s scouts had been ambushed, their signal flares lighting up the sky moments before I set out to find them.I wasn’t supposed to be here. After everything, after Jeric’s death, after the punishment I endured for my role in it, I was lucky to still be alive. Many within the pack looked at me like I was a walking corpse, a dead man on borrowed time. They didn’t trust me. Hell, I wasn’t sure I trusted myself some days. But Valeria had spared me, and that meant something. It meant I still had a chance to prove myself. A chance to show her that despite the mistakes I’d made, I could still be the man she needed me to be.The bond between us had changed. We both knew it. But that didn’t mean I would abandon her. If

    RylanEvery day since the merger, I’d felt the weight of two worlds pressing down on me. Blackridge had always been a part of me—its traditions, its strength, its rigid structure. I’d grown up knowing exactly what my role was, who I was meant to be. But now, as Beta to Valeria, everything felt different. My loyalty to her was real, yet there were days when I could see it in the eyes of her wolves: the doubt, the suspicion. They didn’t trust me—not fully. Not yet.After the battle, even though we had driven the rogues back, that sense of unease still lingered. Valeria’s wolves fought alongside me, but they were wary. Whispers had begun to circulate. Was I still Blackridge at heart? Did I truly believe in Valeria’s vision of unity, or was I just waiting for the right moment to side with my birth pack? The doubts weren’t just theirs; I felt them creeping into my own mind, gnawing at the edges of my thoughts.Standing on the training grounds, I watched the warriors from both packs run the

    RylanBlackridge had always been my world. I was raised in its shadows, its traditions carved into my bones long before I was even aware of them. Strength, loyalty, and respect—it was how we survived, how we thrived. But now, standing at the threshold of this new alliance with Valeria’s pack, I felt like I was walking a tightrope between two worlds. As Beta to Valeria, I was expected to serve her, to support her leadership, but my people—Blackridge—they still looked to me, still whispered my name when decisions needed to be made.I could feel their eyes on me every time I walked through the halls of Valeria’s stronghold, the Blackridge warriors watching, waiting for some sign that I hadn’t abandoned them. They were proud, and proud wolves don’t bend easily. Valeria had welcomed us, but there was still a divide—an unspoken tension that thickened the air. The merger was strategic, a necessity for our survival against the looming threat of Malachai’s rogue forces. But survival doesn’t er

    RylanThe dust from the battle had barely settled, but I could already feel the change in the air. Blackridge was no longer just my father’s pack—it was something new, something stronger, forged through fire and sacrifice. I had been through hell these past few days, facing down not just Malachai’s forces but the doubts of my own pack, the weight of my father’s expectations, and the growing tension with Valeria. But here we stood, alive, victorious. And more than that, we were together.I looked over at Valeria as we walked through the camp, where warriors from both Blackridge and her pack were tending to the wounded, rebuilding, recovering. She moved with the grace of a Luna, her presence calming the wolves around her, and I couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride. Not just in her, but in us—what we had built, what we had become. We had been tested, pushed to our limits, and we had come out on the other side stronger than ever.My thoughts drifted back to the moments during the battl

  • Luna Awakening: Claimed By Her Three Alphas   147

    RylanThe tension in the air was palpable as I stood in the middle of the Blackridge packhouse, gazing at the faces of wolves who had once looked to my father for every decision. Now they looked to me, and I could feel the weight of that responsibility crushing down on me. My father had been too weak to lead ever since the rogues attacked, and the pack needed an Alpha. But what kind of leader would I be?Blackridge had been forged in fire, built on strength, loyalty, and discipline. It was what made us feared, respected. But that same rigid structure had nearly been our downfall. We’d been betrayed from within, exposed to attacks because of blind faith in old traditions. Now, I had a choice: I could cling to the past, to the brutal ways my father had taught me, or I could forge a new path. One that didn’t rely solely on strength, but also on cooperation, unity, and trust—principles that Valeria had shown me.I glanced at her from across the room. She stood tall, her presence commandin

    RylanThe victory over Malachai’s rogues felt hollow as I stood surveying the aftermath. The pack was still standing, but the cost had been high. Blackridge had been my home, my legacy, and yet something was wrong—something that had been gnawing at me since the battle ended. My father’s injury had left a void, but this was different. The pack’s strength was built on discipline and loyalty, but cracks were showing, and those cracks had nearly destroyed us.I wasn’t ready to confront it yet, but the truth was staring me in the face: someone within Blackridge had betrayed us. As the warriors regrouped, I overheard hushed conversations, the whisper of suspicion heavy in the air. The attacks had been too well-timed, too precise. Someone had been feeding Malachai information, and now it was time to find out who.I left the heart of the camp, walking through the aftermath of battle toward the quieter areas, my thoughts racing. My father’s way of leading had always been to rely on force and s

    RylanAs the familiar sight of Blackridge’s territory came into view, a knot of dread tightened in my chest. The sun was just beginning to set, casting long shadows over the rugged landscape. What should have been a bastion of strength and discipline now looked frayed around the edges. The once orderly border patrols were spread thin, and the tension in the air was palpable. Something was very wrong.Kellen, who had ridden ahead with me, wore a grim expression. “It’s worse than I thought,” he muttered.I didn’t respond. I didn’t need to. The signs were all there—the scattered scouts, the hastily erected fortifications, and the smell of smoke lingering in the air. Blackridge, my birth pack, the stronghold that had raised me, was under siege. But this wasn’t just an attack for territory. The rogues were trying to dismantle Blackridge from the inside out, destabilizing the pack’s leadership and exploiting its weaknesses.As we approached the heart of the pack, I saw the aftermath of batt

    RylanThe message from Blackridge arrived at dawn, carried by a lone wolf who looked more like a shadow than a messenger. I recognized him instantly—Kellen, one of my father’s most trusted lieutenants. He wore the stern, no-nonsense expression that all of Blackridge’s warriors seemed to master, but his eyes betrayed the urgency of his mission. I knew what he was here for before he even opened his mouth.“Beta Rylan,” he greeted me with a stiff nod. The title sounded foreign on his tongue, like he couldn’t reconcile the fact that I wasn’t just a warrior of Blackridge anymore. “Your father has sent for you.”I stiffened, instinctively straightening as if I were still in the presence of the Blackridge Alpha. It was muscle memory, a reflex that never quite left me. “What does he want?”Kellen’s eyes flicked to Valeria’s pack members nearby, then back to me. “He asks for aid. Blackridge is under pressure. Malachai’s forces are moving on us, and we need reinforcements.”My heart sank. So it

    RylanThe weight of it all bore down on me as I walked the forest perimeter, the familiar sound of the wind through the trees doing little to calm the storm brewing in my mind. The scout reports, Valeria’s council meetings, the quiet whispers behind my back—all of it was a constant reminder that I was standing on shifting ground.And then there was my father.I clenched my jaw, thinking of the last report I’d heard. Blackridge was stirring. Ever since I’d left to serve Valeria as her Beta, my father had been making moves. Not direct ones, of course—that wasn’t his way. No, Blackridge was a pack that knew how to wield power without openly showing its hand. But I could feel the pressure mounting. His influence, his words, were spreading like wildfire through the neighboring packs.Valeria’s alliances make her weak, he’d say. Diplomacy isn’t strength. Strength is action. It’s dominance.And the other packs listened. Why wouldn’t they? Blackridge had a reputation that spoke for itself. We

    RylanThe weight of the pack’s eyes never left me. Everywhere I turned, I could feel their suspicion pressing against my back, like a thousand small knives that never quite struck but always made their presence known. I’d felt this tension before—hell, I’d been raised in it. Blackridge was a pack that thrived on challenge, on constantly testing your worth. But this was different. This was outright distrust.Valeria’s warriors eyed me warily as I walked through the training grounds. My new role as Beta, her second-in-command, hadn’t come without its consequences. It was a position I had willingly accepted, though not without a price. My allegiance to Valeria’s pack was seen as a betrayal by many, especially those from Blackridge, including my father. The old man had barely said a word when I left. Just a cold stare, filled with disappointment. It had burned deeper than any insult he could’ve thrown at me.A group of warriors passed me, their conversation dying as they noticed me. I did
