Valeria

I was still trembling as I turned away from Rylan, each step feeling heavier than the last. My heart was breaking, shattering into jagged pieces that cut deeper with every breath. I had to leave. If I stayed any longer, I’d lose my resolve. My chest ached with the finality of what I had just done, but I knew it was the right choice. He had already made his decision by binding himself to Seraphina, and I couldn’t compete with that.

But before I could reach the door, Rylan’s hand shot out and grabbed mine. His grip was firm, but not painful, as he pulled me back toward him.

“Valeria, wait,” he said, his voice thick with desperation.

I froze, refusing to meet his gaze. My body tensed as he moved closer, his presence suffocating, but I didn’t have the strength to push him away. Not again. I felt him step in front of me, his hand still holding mine, as if he was afraid I’d disappear if he let go.

“There has to be another way,” he whispered, his voice softer now, more tender. “I’m

    ValeriaI stormed out of the room, my breath coming in sharp bursts, heart beating like a drum in my chest. I didn’t know where I was going; I just needed to be away from everything. Rylan, Seraphina, all of it. My head was a mess, emotions swirling in a chaotic storm that I couldn’t control. How could he? How could they all?Just as I turned the corner, too focused on my fury to watch where I was going, I crashed straight into someone. Stumbling back, I blinked up and found myself face-to-face with Aiden.“Valeria,” he said softly, his hand reaching out to steady me. His touch was gentle, cautious, like he could feel the anger vibrating off me.“Get out of my way,” I muttered, trying to shove past him, but Aiden didn’t move. He stayed firmly in front of me, his gaze calm but serious.“I know you’re angry,” Aiden said, his voice steady. “You have every right to be.”I narrowed my eyes, my patience already worn thin. “You don’t know anything, Aiden. You have no idea what I’m feeling.”

    Valeria The bull’s eyes glinted in the dying sunlight, and its nostrils flared as it pawed at the ground, clearly waiting for me to falter. My heart hammered in my chest as I stood frozen in the arena, my gaze locked on the beast. I could feel the weight of every eye in the crowd on me, but none of it mattered. All that mattered was keeping my focus.But it wasn’t easy.Memories started flooding in, pulling me back, distracting me from the here and now. The first time I had met Kade flashed before me like an old, faded film. He had been arrogant, a smirk always playing at the corners of his mouth, and I would have hated him on sight. Or at least, that’s what I’d told myself. I hadn’t wanted to admit that there had been something more—something magnetic about him that I couldn’t ignore, no matter how hard I tried. His nonchalance had irritated me at first, but then, somehow, it had become comforting. In a world full of chaos, Kade always seemed to be in control.But then came his fath

    ValeriaThe moment I stood back up, the world around me felt like a battlefield. My muscles ached, and every nerve in my body screamed in agony, but my mind was sharp. I had to fight. Not just for my survival, but for something bigger. I needed to prove myself—my innocence, my worth. Yet as soon as I locked eyes with the crowd, their faces twisted in disgust.“Murderer!”“Killer!”“Evil werewolf!”The shouts came fast, spewing venomous words from every corner. I could feel their hatred, sharp as a blade, cutting into me. These people had made up their minds. In their eyes, I was already guilty—guilty of crimes I hadn’t committed, of atrocities I had no part in. They saw me as something wicked, something monstrous.But I wasn’t going to let them win. I wasn’t going to be swallowed by their judgment. No, I was going to prove them wrong.The bull paced before me, snorting, the bull’s dark eyes gleaming with aggression. I had already lost the first part of the trial by breaking eye contac

    Valeria As I left the arena, my body still trembled from the adrenaline and the aftermath of using my powers. My mind was racing, struggling to grasp everything that had just happened. The crowd’s cheers still echoed in my ears—Luna Queen—but I felt distant from it all, as if I were walking through a dream I couldn’t wake from. The pressure of the title pressed heavily on my shoulders, and I wasn’t sure I was ready to carry it.I hadn’t gone far when I saw Jeric approaching me. His usually stern face was different this time, softer, as if something had shifted inside him. His eyes were filled with remorse, and his steps were hesitant. I stopped in my tracks, wary of what he wanted now.“Luna Valeria,” Jeric called out, his voice low and filled with an unexpected vulnerability. He bowed his head slightly, which caught me off guard.“Jeric?” I asked, confused. Was this the same man who had practically thrown me into this trial, who had doubted me from the start?“I owe you an apology,”

    Malachai The moonlight filtered through the dense fog that clung to the edges of the forest, casting silver shadows on the ground. I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming against the wooden armrest, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. The fire in the hearth crackled and flickered, but its warmth was nothing compared to the anticipation burning in my chest. I had been waiting for this moment for so long, watching, biding my time, waiting for my dearest Valeria to fulfill her destiny.Just as my thoughts were beginning to drift, the door to my study burst open, and Dorian appeared, her eyes wild with urgency.“Malachai,” she breathed, her voice a mixture of excitement and panic. “It’s happened. Valeria… she revealed her powers.”I raised an eyebrow, though inwardly, I felt a thrill rush through me. “Did she now?” I asked, my voice steady and calm. I had always known this day would come, but hearing the confirmation from Dorian only solidified what I had sensed through the tr

    Valeria The room was suffocating. Every breath I took felt heavy, like the weight of a hundred eyes pressing down on me. I stood in the center, trying to remain composed as the pack elders and council members whispered amongst themselves, their murmurs thick with distrust. Jeric had just finished his impassioned endorsement of me as the Luna Queen, his words hanging in the air like a fragile thread. But even his loyalty couldn’t quiet the unease that stirred in the room.“She cannot be trusted,” an elder, Lorne, spoke out, his voice low but firm. His eyes locked on mine, and I could feel the judgment radiating from him. “This is the same woman who was banished from the wolf pack. The same woman connected to the death of the Alpha King. How can we, in good conscience, support her rise to power?”I clenched my fists at my sides, willing myself not to react. Not yet. I had to hear them out, even though every fiber of my being was screaming for me to defend myself.“I agree with Lorne,”

    ValeriaThe whispers had started as little more than a faint hum, an annoyance I could ignore in the grand scheme of things. But as time passed, they grew louder, turning into a roar that followed me wherever I went. It was as if every step I took was shadowed by the doubt and fear of those who didn’t believe I deserved the title of Luna Queen.It wasn’t just a few anymore. The dissenters were gathering strength, forming secret factions in the dark corners of the pack. They spread rumors like wildfire, fanning the flames of suspicion until even those who had once supported me began to question my intentions. I’d walk through the halls, and I could feel the eyes on me—glaring, watching, waiting for me to slip up, to prove their worst fears true.It hurt. More than I wanted to admit, it hurt that they thought I had manipulated the trial, that I had somehow used my power to control the bull and steal the title. I had never wanted any of this. I didn’t ask for the power, the responsibilit

    Valeria I sat by the window, staring out into the darkness beyond the trees, the weight of everything pressing down on me like a suffocating fog. No matter how hard I tried to push through, to keep my head up, the doubts kept creeping in. Would I ever be enough for them? Could I ever earn their trust, or would I always be the outcast, the one they feared more than they respected?My thoughts were interrupted by the soft creak of the door behind me. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. His presence was like a pulse in the air, steady and strong, filling the space with a kind of warmth I’d come to crave.Aiden.“You’re brooding again,” he said quietly, his voice low and comforting.I didn’t respond at first, still lost in the storm of my own thoughts. But I felt him move closer, his steps light on the wooden floor until he was standing just behind me. I could feel the heat radiating off his body, and it sent a shiver down my spine.“It’s hard not to brood when the world see

    RylanThe biting cold of the Blackridge mountains was unforgiving, but I barely felt it. The weight of the occasion pressed down on my shoulders far heavier than any winter chill could. Today was the day my father would be officially crowned Alpha of Blackridge, a position he’d essentially held in practice for years, but this was the formal acknowledgment of his power. I stood just behind him, my breath clouding in the cold air as I observed the pack gathered around us.We were a smaller pack, but Blackridge’s strength was undeniable. Every member was hardened by the unforgiving landscape, disciplined by our strict hierarchy. To outsiders, we might have seemed cold and ruthless, but to us, power and loyalty were everything. No one questioned the strength of my father, Eryx, and no one dared to defy him. He had earned this moment through blood, sweat, and countless battles. But as I watched him, standing tall and unyielding, I couldn’t shake the tension that gnawed at me from within.T

    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
