Zarek POVI was still dreaming, or maybe I wasn't. Lunette was pressed against me; her mouth opened in pleasure as I bit the inside of her neck, marking her as mine forever. A smile spread over my face as I looked into her eyes later.I woke up feeling lighter than I had in days, certainly lighter than I felt yesterday, which was saying something. My body felt rested; the tension that usually pulled at my muscles was noticeably absent. So was the pain and pulling from yesterday's forced transformation.Last night, I had slept like a dead man. I sat up, stretching my arms, muscles rippling under the cool sheets, and reached out for Lunette beside me instinctively. But my hand found only empty space, the sheets cold where her warmth should have been."Lunette?" I called out softly, but there was no answer. My brow furrowed as I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, and glanced around the room. She wasn’t here. Just the faint scent of her

Zarek PoVI headed downstairs, my footsteps barely making a sound against the worn wooden floor. The tension from the morning was still clinging to me.Lunette was nowhere to be found upstairs, and a faint sense of unease had settled in my chest, which was stupid because I shouldn't care what she was doing with her life at the moment, but I did anyway.I expected to see her in the kitchen or by the door, maybe lost in her thoughts as she so often was.But as I got closer to the kitchen, a different scent hit my nose—one that wasn't Lunette's. It was familiar and comforting, and yet it carried its own weight of complications.My brother, Axel.Sure enough, there he was, sitting at the kitchen table, casually sipping a cup of coffee and a plate of muffins in front of him.His long legs were stretched out in front of him, his expression a mix of boredom and the watchfulness he always had on him.

Axel POVI watched Zarek carefully, his eyes shifting the way they always did when he didn't want to tell me something. It was his way, and I never tried to force him into conversations, but now it was different.His eyes flickered with uncertainty. I’d known something had been off since last night, when the screaming had stopped. Normally, Zarek's forced transformation lasted all night, and yesterday had been worse than normal, so I had expected no less.But the quiet that followed had me thinking otherwise.“Tell me again,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, though the frustration was bubbling just beneath the surface.“How did you break free from the chains?”Zarek leaned away from the counter, crossing his arms as if he were trying to block out my question."Zarek," I gritted.He avoided my eyes, the same way he always did when something wa

Lunette POVI watched Axel training from a distance; it seemed to be what I did most days: hide in the shadows and watch him.Instead of taking the risk that he would see me, I watched him from the window and from safety. His body moved with the raw power and precision of someone born and raised for battle. Each strike he made against the dummy made of straw and grass, he was shirtless and seemed to be sweating, his skin glistening in the early sun even though each breath that filled my lungs was chilly enough to form a light mist in front of my face. But chill didn't quiet the desire that raced through my skin and over every part of me like fire.I had felt desire for the twins before; I couldn't deny that, but it had never been this all-consuming lust that seems to take over my whole body whenever I saw either of them.That had begun only after the night spent with Zarek, whom I had tried my best to avoid, especially after the argument the next morning. My heart twisted slightly

Axel pov It was cold, but I felt hot; the sweat dripping down my back also proved otherwise, but it wasn't like I was ready to stop either. I had been training hard in the garden since the first morning sun for almost a week now; it was the only way I was able to keep my anger at bay.Today though muscles tense and breath sharp as I swung my sword over and over, each slice cutting through the dummy and some straw spilled out of it, sweat dripped down my forehead, stinging my eyes as I swung the blade over and over again, and no matter how hard I trained, the frustration in my chest wouldn’t fade. The metallic sound of steel clashing against wood filled the air around me, but it did nothing to drown out the relentless buzzing in my head. My body moved on its own—from pure muscle memory after years of training. I’d been going at it for hours, and I could feel my energy was waning the sunlight that filtered through the trees.I gritted my teeth, my grip on the sword hilt tightening, a

Lunette POV"Stubborn idiot alpha," I muttered underneath my breath as I stormed away from Axel, my hands clenched tightly into fists. Fine, Axel. Have it your way.He was a stubborn ass, and I badly wanted to snap his head on something, but that would be too much.The weight of his rejection still stung of his words echoing in my mind.I wasn’t a fool; I knew he didn’t trust me.I’d known it since the first day I arrived, and it had been made doubly clear the moment he and Zarek rejected me as their mate, so I was under no illusions. But no matter how many times he pushed me away, I wasn’t giving up.Not when he needed my help anyway; leaving him there injured and bleeding would be wrong, but it wasn't a bad idea to let him wonder for a while.I strode away from him where he was sitting on the grass and walked back to the house, using the door I had left open when I ran over to him. When I glanced back over my shoulder, I saw him strugglingto get up, his face etched with stubborn

Axel POV When I’d pushed her away and told her I didn’t need her help, I thought that would be the end of it—that she’d finally get the message and leave me alone. I didn’t expect Lunette to actually come back, but her voice echoing behind me as she walked over and dropped to the ground right next to me a box in her hand that she laid on the floor made me wonder if I was too crazy from the pain. Determined, and her gaze sharp with resolve, she pulled my leg to her after a very stiff argument about me not wanting her to touch me. Her touch was gentle, almost… careful. She didn’t look at me, just focused on her work, and for some reason, that made me more aware of her presence. Of the slight frown of concentration on her face, the way her hair fell over her shoulder, catching the sunlight…“Don’t expect me to start trusting you just because of this,” I finally said, my voice guarded. She paused, meeting my gaze, and nodded "Fine" “But I’m not your enemy, Axel. I never have been.”

Lunette POVMy vision blurred as I walked away from Axel, clutching the bag of medical supplies tightly to keep my hands from shaking. Each step echoed his harsh words and the coldness in his voice as if from afar, with the garden fading behind me. Each word was replaced by the blur of my footsteps across the grass and dry crunching sticks as I hurried away from Axel, swallowing down the burn of tears before they could slip free. I wouldn’t let him see me like that—not after the things he’d said. He didn't get to see me fall apart after what he had said.I had been foolish to think he might, even for a second, appreciate my help or at least want it. But no, he had tossed my help into my face and ridiculed me in the process.The bitterness, or was it the burn of his rejection, made my chest ache even as the pressure building in my throat was hot and stinging. I wasn’t going to cry.Not for him. Not for someone who saw me as nothing more than an inconvenience.I focused on the path ah

Lunette POV The moment that Varda fired that bolt I had been sure it would hit Axel. So sure in fact that the world had slowed around me, my breath caught in my throat as I braced for the worst. But then Lorraine had stepped in. While she quarreled with her mother all I could feel was relief—until Varda struck again, until I saw the bright red blood spreading across her clothes as she crumpled to the floor. Varda had tried to kill her own daughter. For a second, all I could do was stare. I stood frozen, watching in horror as Axel caught Lorraine before she hit the dirt. Lorraine’s body trembled, her hands pressing against the wound, her lips parted in shock. Varda turned back to Axel but before I could react, Zarek moved. A low, guttural growl ripped from his throat as his body twisted and grew, his Lycan form bursting free. He lunged at Varda, his teeth bared in a snarl. Varda barely had time to turn before his fangs sank deep into her neck. Her scream was cut off as he to

Zarek POV They attacked us first, or they tried to anyway, after our escape we made plans to draw them out, it would be the best way to even our playing field and she was pissed when she discovered we were missing. She had brought her men in immediately,"Kill them all!" She roared and the battle that followed afterwards was pure chaos. Snarls and screams filled the night air as blood soaked the dirt beneath my feet. My muscles burned, but I couldn’t stop. Not now. Not until Varda was dead. The Lycan curse poured through my veins like fire, pain following it and pushing me past my limits. My body twisted, the monstrous power within me taking over. My claws lengthened, my teeth sharpened, and a guttural roar tore from my throat. Varda’s men hesitated at the sight of me. Good. They should be afraid. With a single leap, I tore into the nearest warrior, my claws ripping through armor and flesh like paper. The scent of blood thickened in the air as another wolf lunged at me his

Axel POV The weight of Curtis’s death still hung heavy in the air, but we had no time to grieve. The dungeon might have been cold and suffocating, but the fire of rage burning inside me made it bearable.We had to escape, and we had to bring Varda down. Zarek sat against the wall, arms crossed, jaw clenched. He hadn’t spoken much since Curtis died. I could see the storm brewing inside him, the need for vengeance, for blood. I felt it too, and it wasn't just the curse, to know that our mother had died at the hands of such a man. But Lunette—Lunette was different. She stood between us, but she didn’t cry anymore, the tears from earlier seemed to have dried up. "We have to kill her." Zarek hissed and shook his head "No." “We have to be smart,” he continued, voice steady. “We can’t just rush into a fight. Varda is dangerous. If we attack without a plan, we’ll lose.” “She killed our mother,” he growled, his voice raw. "She killed our father. She has to pay for it.” Lunette,

Lunette POV I couldn’t move, I couldn’t breathe. To have Varda standing before me, tall and proud no hint of remorse in her eyes, her golden hair catching the flickering light of the candle in the cabin we had run to, and her eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she looked down at me, at all of us. "You look surprised, darling." She purred, stepping closer, the scent of death clung to her, or was that Curtis blood pooling over the floor making my stomach churn. "Surely, you knew this day would come." I shook my head, willing myself to speak, but nothing came out. “Where’s Alpha Slade?” Axel asked, his voice low and dangerous. His hands curled into fists at his sides, barely restrained fury radiating off him. "He has to know that this won't end well for him." Varda sighed dramatically. “He's outlived his usefulness honestly it was such a burden waiting for him to kick the bucket" My father… dead? My legs nearly gave out, and I staggered back. “No,” I whispered, my voice ba

Axel’s POVThe council chambers were suffocating me, and Lorraine standing beside me was not doing me any favors to be honest, her face composed but I saw the glint in her eyes. She had me wrapped around her fingers and the council was helping her squeeze. They had all but declared, Lunette, Curtis and Zarek traitors to the pack. “We cannot allow them to run free,” Lorraine said, her voice dripping with false concern."If Zarek and Lunette are left unchecked, they’ll bring ruin to Grey Moon. We have to act before it’s too late.” I clenched my fists at my sides, barely containing my anger because I knew she didn’t care about the pack, only her own ambitions but her performance was flawless and the council bought it, murmuring their agreement,“Alpha Axel,” elder Fred addressed me. "You must send your soldiers to apprehend them. For the good of the pack.” I had gotten used to those words over the last few days, even more than I had gotten used to my own father's death. Maybe it wa

Varda POV I heard the news about Alpha Cormac's deathly injury, while I was cleaning up my new room, it had been one of the best news I had in a very long while.I knew it was time.When I had sent the assassins to finish off Lunette, it had never occured to me that I would catch bigger fish in my endeavor.The alpha Cormac, the biggest alpha om our coast and the most respected, it was a coup. A storm of satisfaction had spread through me, filling me, this was good. I needed this chance now, cold determination settled over me as I leaned back in the ornate chair in Slade's–my study now. The Grey Moon pack was vulnerable. Their leadership in shambles this was the time for me to get more than I had wanted with the chaos that was no doubt already starting to spread. I had my opening.And while Lunette wasn't dead yet, that wasn't something I couldn't solve later.Lunette. The name was a bitter taste on my tongue, that little brat was a thorn in my side. She was a loose thread, the la

Zarek POV "Have you lost your mind?” I snarled, at my brother my voice low and dangerous.“You think locking Lunette up is going to solve anything? She didn’t kill Father, Axel.” The tension in the room was suffocating and I really didn't need to be pissed, Axel stood at the head of his table, his arms crossed over his chest, his jaw set tight, I stood across from him bracing my hands on the surface of the table, it was barely enough to keep myself from reaching across and shaking some sense into him. “I didn’t say she did. But until we know for sure who’s behind this, I can’t take any chances.” “Chances?” I barked, slamming my fist on the table.“You’re not just taking a chance, you’re condemning her. The council will see this as an admission of guilt. Do you understand what you’re doing?” Axel’s lips pressed into a thin line. “What I understand is that the council is already breathing down my neck. If I don’t handle this carefully, we risk losing everything.” “Losing wha

Lunette POV My whole body ached from hours of training with Zarek, each and every muscle group screamed in protest as I settled into the chair beside Alpha Cormac’s bed. With the room dimly lit, the only light coming from the faint glow of the monitors tracking his vitals.The steady beeping was oddly comforting, I could at least hold on to the fact he was still with us. I watched him breath in and out guilt gnawing at my insides. He looked a bit better today, not so pale, maybe soon he would wake up. He had nearly died protecting me. He shouldn’t have risked himself for someone like me. I slumped into the chair by Alpha Cormac’s bed and I told myself I’d only rest my eyes for a moment, just long enough to catch my breath. “I’ll make it right,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “I’ll find a way to fix this, to protect your pack... your family.” But the steady rhythm of the machines and the quiet hum of the room lulled me into sleep.I didn’t even realize when my eyes closed,

Lorraine’s POVIt was dark outside and quiet wrapped around the pack house like a shroud, it had never been this quiet in a long time the stillness was broken only by the occasional creak of the old walls or the distant howl of a wolf. This was a perfect time for what I had to do, it was the perfect cover.I slipped through the hallways, keeping my footsteps as silent against the wooden floors as possible, my heart pounded in my chest, but it was not from fear. No, this wasn’t fear. This was anticipation. Alpha Cormac’s injury had given me the perfect opening because now with him bedridden and Zarek too preoccupied with training that brat girl Lunette, Axel was the only one fit to step up as acting Alpha. And if Axel became Alpha, well... I would ensure that I was by his side as Luna. It was time to act. Time to turn the chaos to my advantage, meaning there was no room for error tonight. I tightened my grip on the small syringe hidden in my sleeve. The attack had been... unex
