Luna Awakening: Claimed By Her Three Alphas 30
MalachaiThe room was suffocatingly dark, just the way I liked it. It was easier to think in the shadows, to plan in silence. I sat in my usual chair, a heavy piece of worn leather that had seen more battles than I cared to remember. The only light came from a single flickering candle in the far corner, casting long, jagged shadows that danced across the walls. My mind was a storm, thoughts twisting and colliding like the thunderheads outside.I didn’t stir when the door creaked open. I knew who it was before she even spoke. Only one person had the audacity to interrupt me unannounced. She glided into the room, her movements soundless, her presence cold and calculated.“Malachai ,” her voice cut through the stillness like a blade, “I’ve returned.”I didn’t need to look at her to know who it was. Dorian. She had always been my most trusted ally, perhaps because she was as ruthless as I was… and mostly because she was rogue, without a pack and without an identity. Her loyalty wasn’t som

RylanThe familiar sight of Blackridge pack’s towering trees and the cool mountain air did little to settle the unease brewing inside me. I had returned, but my heart was still in Shadowfang. Valeria. I couldn’t get her out of my mind. The thought of her being there, alone with Kade, filled me with a deep sense of dread. She could take care of herself—she had proven that time and time again—but something about Shadowfang always felt off, like a shadow looming just beneath the surface.As I approached the main packhouse, the usual warmth of coming home was muted by the tension running through me. My family greeted me at the entrance, their smiles wide but not reaching their eyes.“Rylan, welcome back,” my father said, clapping a hand on my shoulder. “We’ve missed you.”I nodded, trying to focus on them and not the whirlwind in my mind. “It’s good to be home.”But before I could even settle into the comfort of familiar surroundings, my mother spoke up, her voice laced with anticipation.

Rylan The cool breeze brushed against my skin as I leaned against the railing outside the packhouse, staring into the forest. My mind was still racing, tangled with thoughts of Valeria and the absurdity of what had just been proposed. How could they expect me to agree to marry someone when I couldn’t even focus on anything but her?The sound of soft footsteps caught my attention, and I turned to see Seraphina approaching. She moved with a kind of grace, her posture calm and composed, but I could see there was something calculating behind her eyes.“I figured I’d find you out here,” she said quietly, stopping a few feet away from me.I straightened, preparing for whatever conversation was about to unfold. “Needed some air.”She nodded, folding her arms and staring out into the distance as if she, too, was deep in thought. For a moment, there was silence, and I wondered if maybe she would let this pass without confrontation. But then she spoke, her voice low and measured.“Why don’t yo

RylanThe next morning, I was in my room, staring out the window at the early morning mist that blanketed the forest. My thoughts were still on Valeria, as they always seemed to be these days. I couldn’t shake the image of her face, the way she had looked at me before I left Shadowfang. How was she holding up? Was she safe? My gut twisted with worry.A knock at the door snapped me out of my thoughts. I sighed, turning to see my father standing in the doorway, his expression unreadable but stern, as usual. He didn’t bother waiting for an invitation before stepping inside.“Rylan,” he began, his voice cold and authoritative, “we need to talk.”I already knew where this conversation was heading. My jaw clenched, but I forced myself to stay calm. “What is it, Father?”He didn’t waste time getting to the point. “You will marry Seraphina.”My muscles tensed at the command. “Father, we’ve already been through this. I told you—Valeria is my mate.”My father’s lips curled into a frown, the lin

Valeria I wanted to believe Kade when he warned me to stay away from his father, to avoid him at all costs, but Kade himself wasn’t being completely honest with me. His warnings were vague, too protective, as if there was more he wasn’t telling me. And I was starting to wonder if he was keeping something from me on purpose. The more I thought about it, the clearer it became—Kade and his father were both hiding something.The unease in my chest wouldn’t settle, even as I paced back and forth in the dimly lit corridor. The air in Shadowfang felt heavy, oppressive, like there were secrets swirling all around me. I couldn’t just sit and wait for something terrible to happen. I needed answers, and I needed them fast.But I couldn’t ask Kade directly. He would either dismiss my concerns or give me more cryptic warnings about his father. No, I needed to figure this out on my own.I slipped out of the packhouse, careful not to draw attention. The cold night air stung my skin as I made my way

ValeriaFor the next few days, I avoided Kade and his father as much as possible. There was a tension in the air I couldn’t shake, and every time I saw Kade’s father’s dark eyes watching me, I felt like prey being stalked. His presence lingered like a shadow, always near enough to remind me that I was never truly alone, never out of his reach.I stayed on my guard, but it wasn’t easy. Shadowfang was Kade’s territory, his home, yet somehow, I always felt like I was trespassing, especially now. My suspicions about Kade’s father were growing by the day, but the more I tried to avoid him, the more he seemed to find ways to corner me.One evening, I was wandering through the woods near the packhouse, trying to clear my head. The trees provided some comfort, their towering presence grounding me as I processed everything that had been happening. But my peace didn’t last long. I felt a prickling at the back of my neck—the unmistakable sensation of being watched.I stopped, turning slowly. The

ValeriaI wandered through the quiet halls of Shadowfang, my thoughts still spinning from my encounter with Kade’s father. His words had rattled me more than I cared to admit. There was truth to what he’d said—about the power inside me, about the uncertainty of who I was becoming. But the idea of trusting him? That was out of the question.As I walked, trying to clear my mind, I felt a strange pull—something almost instinctive leading me toward the outskirts of the pack’s territory. I didn’t know where I was going, but something told me I needed to follow it.The path led me deep into the woods, where the trees grew denser, their shadows casting long stretches of darkness. Just when I began to question if I was making a mistake, I saw him—a figure standing by a small, flickering fire. His back was turned to me, but something about him seemed familiar. He radiated an aura of calm and wisdom, a stark contrast to the turmoil inside me.“Valeria,” he called out without turning, his voice

ValeriaThe night was quiet as I made my way back toward the house, my thoughts still lingering on everything Alaric had told me. The partial revelation of my so-called destiny hung heavily over me, and I couldn’t help but feel like I was still stumbling in the dark, unsure of where to turn next.But one thing was certain—I needed more answers. And those answers, at least some of them, were with Kade. The more I thought about, the more I felt like he knew more than he was letting on.I hesitated outside the door to his room, the cool night air swirling around me. My heart pounded in my chest, a mixture of anxiety and anticipation coursing through me. Despite everything, despite the secrets and the uncertainty, there was something undeniable between us. A pull I couldn’t ignore, no matter how hard I tried.I raised my hand, knocked softly, and waited.“Come in,” came his voice, low and steady, sending a shiver through me.I pushed the door open and stepped inside. Kade stood by the win

Valeria The sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the rolling hills of our land. I stood at the edge of the valley, watching as the horizon stretched out before me, peaceful and calm for the first time in what felt like an eternity. Malachai was gone. The prophecy, the endless fear, and the war that had nearly torn us apart were finally behind us.Yet, as I stood there, I couldn’t help but feel the weight of everything that had happened still lingering in the air. The scars of war were everywhere—our people were still healing, physically and emotionally. The land, once ravaged by battle, was beginning to bloom again, but it would take time before the wounds fully closed.Aiden came up beside me, his presence quiet yet strong. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” he said softly, his voice low and thoughtful. “A reminder of what we fought for.”I nodded, feeling the warmth of his words settle into me. “It is. But it still feels surreal.”He didn’t respond immediately, but I could feel the

ValeriaThe battlefield felt like a living, breathing entity of chaos. Bodies clashed, blades rang out in the air, and the ground trembled beneath the weight of war. My heart pounded in time with every step, every breath, as we closed in on Malachai. He was a towering figure in the distance, cloaked in shadows that seemed to stretch into eternity, feeding on the destruction around him.And yet, for the first time since this war began, I felt an odd sense of clarity. I had spent so much of my life fearing the prophecy, its every word haunting my choices and decisions. But now, as we faced the monster who had manipulated us all, I realized something profound—the prophecy wasn’t a binding force. It was a reflection of potential, a set of paths laid out before us, not an inescapable fate.It was always about choice.The roar of the battle faded into the background as I focused on the task ahead. Aiden, Rylan, and Kade flanked me, their presence a constant reminder that I wasn’t alone in t
Luna Awakening: Claimed By Her Three Alphas 168
ValeriaThe night before the final battle was heavy with anticipation, but as I stood among the gathered forces of our united packs, I felt a quiet resolve settle over me. The stars above us twinkled like distant watchers, indifferent to the war we were about to wage. My heart was steady, though. I had faced impossible odds before, but this time, I wasn’t alone. Aiden, Rylan, and Kade stood with me, their presence a reminder of the strength we’d built together. The pack—our pack—was ready to follow us into whatever hell Malachai had prepared.The wind shifted, carrying the scent of danger on the breeze, a prelude to the battle that awaited us at dawn. I could sense Malachai’s army just beyond the horizon. His power had grown, infecting the land like a spreading disease. Every day we delayed, he became stronger. The prophecy still loomed, a dark shadow hanging over our heads, whispering of betrayal and ruin. But I had made a decision—I wasn’t going to let fear dictate my choices. The o
Luna Awakening: Claimed By Her Three Alphas 167
ValeriaThe preparations for the ceremony were unlike anything I’d ever imagined for myself. Growing up as an Alpha, I’d always known that duty would take precedence over personal desires. The idea of a grand union or formalizing any bond had always seemed like a distraction, something that could weaken my resolve. Yet here I was, standing before my mates—Aiden, Rylan, and Kade—ready to pledge myself not just as their partner but as a leader who understood the power of unity.I never thought I would reach this point, where personal love and leadership could coexist in harmony. But now, as I stood alongside them, I knew this wasn’t just for me. This was for the pack, for the future we were building together.We had chosen a sacred place in the heart of the forest, where the borders of our packs converged—a symbol of the unity we were about to solidify. As the evening sun cast its golden light through the trees, the air around us buzzed with anticipation. Both packs—mine, Aiden’s Stormc

ValeriaKade’s presence was like a wildfire, unpredictable and consuming, always threatening to pull me out of the rigid control I kept over myself. He had been my constant reminder of the passions I often pushed aside in favor of duty and leadership, and there was no denying the electric connection that sparked between us whenever we were near each other. Yet, despite everything, I had resisted him. Resisted the bond that tied us together, just as I had with Rylan and Aiden.Now, as I stood facing him, feeling the intensity of his gaze, I knew I could no longer run from the truth. He was a part of me, a part of the strength I had yet to fully embrace. And Kade, with all his wildness and fire, knew it too.“Valeria,” he said, his voice low and steady, though there was an undercurrent of emotion there that I couldn’t ignore. “You’ve been keeping me at arm’s length for too long.”I swallowed hard, the truth of his words hitting me deep. I had kept him at a distance. I had feared the par

ValeriaRylan stood beside me, his sharp eyes scanning the map laid out in front of us. Every line of his body radiated confidence, strength, and a sense of calm that had always been a source of comfort for me, especially in times like this. But there was something different now—something between us that had shifted. It wasn’t just the shared battles or the way he had become the glue holding our pack together in my darkest moments. There was a deeper connection, one that I had been resisting for longer than I cared to admit.For so long, I had seen Rylan as my Beta, my trusted second-in-command. His loyalty to me had never wavered, even when I had doubted my own leadership. But now, standing so close to him, I realized that what lay between us went beyond loyalty. It went beyond duty, beyond the bond of pack leadership. The truth was undeniable, no matter how much I had tried to ignore it. He wasn’t just my Beta. He was my mate.Rylan caught me staring and raised an eyebrow, a small s

ValeriaThe moment I saw Aiden approaching, my heart clenched, a swirl of emotions rising to the surface that I had tried to bury for so long. Anger, hurt, relief, and something else—something deeper, something I had been too afraid to name. His steps were measured, careful, as though he was unsure of his place in my world now. And after everything that had happened, I couldn’t blame him.We hadn’t spoken since the fallout, since the day our paths had diverged in opposite directions. I had chosen unity, alliances, and cooperation; he had chosen isolation, dominance, and the old ways. We’d been too stubborn, too set in our beliefs to bend for one another. And now, here we were again, standing on the edge of something new, but the scars of the past lingered.Aiden stopped a few feet away from me, his gaze meeting mine. There was a storm of regret and determination in his eyes, and I couldn’t help but notice how much he had changed. The weight of the prophecy, the battles he had faced al
Luna Awakening: Claimed By Her Three Alphas 163
ValeriaThe weight of everything that had happened—the rogue attacks, the betrayal, the doubt—pressed down on me like a heavy cloak. I had always prided myself on being strong enough to carry that weight alone, to lead my pack without faltering. But as I sat in my quarters, my head in my hands, I realized that I couldn’t do it by myself.I needed help.It wasn’t an easy realization to come to. My pride had always been a fortress, keeping me standing tall, keeping me independent. But now, that same pride was isolating me, closing me off from those who wanted to help. I had resisted fully embracing the mate bond with Aiden, Rylan, and Kade, thinking it would somehow make me appear weak. I didn’t want anyone to think I couldn’t lead without leaning on them.But the truth was, I needed them.With a deep breath, I pushed myself off the chair and wiped the remnants of tears from my face. I would seek them out. Despite everything that had happened, they were still my mates, and I knew they w
Luna Awakening: Claimed By Her Three Alphas 162
Valeria The rogue attacks came like a storm—relentless, unpredictable, and brutal. My warriors fought valiantly, but each clash left us weaker, more uncertain. And the worst part? It wasn’t just the enemies outside our borders that I had to contend with; it was the growing unrest within my own pack. Doubt had taken root, spreading like wildfire among my people.I could see it in their eyes as they returned from battle, bloodied and exhausted. They looked to me for answers, for direction. And for the first time in my life, I wasn’t sure if I had any to give.It started as murmurs, whispers in the shadows. Some believed I was too focused on diplomacy, on maintaining alliances and seeking unity when what we needed was brute strength and aggression. Others feared I was leaning too heavily on the prophecy, trusting in an ancient foretelling instead of leading with action.I stood in the center of our war room, staring down at the map that detailed our territory, the areas where the rogue
