I wasn’t sure why I went to the library that day; I knew that was where she liked to be, and so I tried to avoid it mostly, but I was tired and not really thinking clearly, and maybe it was my need for a distraction, or maybe I just wanted to be anywhere but near my brother and father, who were always nagging me to get out more even when I didn't want to.
That and the added effort of trying to not cross paths with Lunette because I knew it would be difficult for me to ignore her all the time, but I needed the library today, especially since the weight of my own thoughts had become unbearable lately; the library, with its quiet, seemed like the perfect escape.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, I stepped inside and inhaled the familiar scent of old books and polished wood with the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the tall windows, falling on the rows of shelves along the walls.
I moved to one of the shelves

Lunette POVI panicked when Zarek turned to leave. I wasn’t ready for him to go. Not like this.“Wait!” I cried out with my voice louder than I intended, and I reached for his hand without thinking. My fingers wrapped around his wrist, holding him in place.He froze, his muscles tense beneath my touch. His eyes darted down to where our hands met, then back to my face.“Lunette...” he muttered.“Please,” I said softly, trying to keep my voice steady.“Don’t go.”His eyes searched mine, and for a moment, I thought he might pull away. But then, he exhaled a long breath and gave a small, almost imperceptible nod.“All right,” he said quietly, his voice barely audible.Relieved, I released his wrist and stepped back, my heart pounding as I tried thinkin

Lunette PovZarek was talking about something, but I really couldn't be sure what it was he was talking about exactly, especially since I had not been paying much attention to what he was saying.I had mostly been looking at him; he was talking about some ancient pack war, I think, and he was doing it very well considering we had gone from very heavy topics to lighthearted conversation.It was evening now; the sun was setting, and the library was bathed in the bronze glow, and it felt warm. Zarek and I had been talking for hours, the conversation flowing easily between us, so it felt like we had been doing this forever.I like that, liked that he was this open at least with me, that I had seen this side of him that others had likely not seen before. Zarek—the stoic, sharp-tongued Alpha's son—with his broad view of the world and disarming kindness and vulnerability.When he spoke of his doubts, his fears, he masked them

Lunette POVZarek was off the couch in the blink of an eye; I barely noticed when he moved past me until he had the maid in a chokehold against the door. I shivered in fear, confused at what to do; he grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, and she whimpered, her hands falling to her side as Zarek squeezed. "Zarek, stop."“She saw too much,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous. His eyes had darkened; they were now hard and cold—nothing like the vulnerable man I’d just been kissing. My stomach dropped as the weight of his words hit me. “What are you saying?” He didn’t respond immediately, but the sharpness in his jaw and the flicker of rage in his eyes made it clear what he was considering. My panic surged. “No,” I said firmly, stepping in front of him when his hands tightened around her neck. “Zarek, no.” I whispered sharply, my pulse beating erratically in my throat; it felt like my chest would collapse under the weight of everything that had just happened.Zarek’s breathing

Lunette POVThe walk back to my room suddenly felt endless; my mind raced as I replayed everything that had happened in the library.My feelings for Zarek, the stolen kiss, the maid’s intrusion—it all swirled in my head like a hurricane that I pretty much couldn't control.I reached my door, letting out a shaky breath. I pulled open the door and walked inside and closed the door behind me immediately. Sliding down to the floor, I leaned against the door, trying to catch my breath, my heart still racing from whatever had just happened in there right now. The soft click of the latch felt like an ending on the chaos of the day.“What did I just do?” I muttered to myself. I rose to my feet and crossed the room; I needed to distract myself, maybe with a book or a long bath, when a sharp knock interrupted my thoughts.My heart leapt into my throat, panic flooding back. Was it Zarek?Had he come to fi

Zarek PoVThe library was suffocating and way too quiet after she had left, as though the air itself had just stilled for no reason, leaving me suffocating in the absence. The scent of old paper and Lunette’s lingering scent did nothing to calm my thoughts.Leaning back against the chair, I ran a hand through my hair, tugging at the strands as if that would somehow pull the chaos from my mind.I sat there for what felt like hours, replaying every moment of what had just happened between us, the way her lips had felt against mine, the warmth of her touch when she clung to me—it had been all too real.I’d told her to leave; it was the best way to protect her—protect us both—the best way that I could think of.And then she was gone.But the moment she walked away, regret hit me like a punch to the gut.ne.I shouldn’t have kissed her.

Lunette PovThe morning after my date with Alpha Cormac felt no different than any other morning except that I woke up early, as I usually do, with a restless knot in my stomach. The sun would climb out soon from the clouds hiding it, but I didn't really find that fascinating right now.The memory of my time with Alpha Cormac, Zarek, and Axel did a lot in shaking off the daze of sleep from my eyes and getting me alert almost immediately.I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. I looked horrible; my hair was falling all over my face, some of it tangled into a very horrible mess. I had not been able to brush my hair before going to bed last night, not with the memories of the kiss in the library with Zarek and the way Cormac’s goodnight kiss lingered in my brain making my chest heave.I needed to keep busy, or I would hyperventilate out of my skin.Shoving those thoughts aside, I focused on my routine. Routine was safe, and it grounded me, so it was a win-win situation for all of

Lunette POV The words hung in the air like poison, each one of them slicing through me with cruelty I couldn't believe existed. I tried not to let it bother me, but that didn't seem to be working. "Whore." They repeated, and I struggled not to flinch. "She’s not even trying to hide it." I stood there, my hands trembling as I clutched the pruning shears I had been using in my garden, a place that was my solitude but yet seemed to have had all the peace drawn out of it through a thin straw; my breath stayed caught in my throat, thick and cloying.I looked down at my hands, the dirt beneath my nails and the shears in my grip blurring as tears welled in my eyes; the first instinct that screamed at me was to run, but my legs felt rooted to the ground. I wanted to confront them, to scream that they didn’t know me, that they didn’t understand. But the words caught in my throat, choked by the shame that I felt deep into my bones.But what would I say to them, that even though I was betro

Lunette POVI had thought the tears would stop once Zarek finally left, but even as he turned his back to me, they fell. He lingered a bit, his jaw set and his shoulders tense, as if he thought I would call him back, but I didn't; I couldn't bring myself to call for him, not when what we had done was already so wrong.“Go,” I whispered hoarsely, looking down at the grass, hoping my voice sounded as stern as I imagined it to be, and did my best to avoid his gaze.For a moment, all I heard was the sound of my uneven breathing and the faint rustle of his movements as he obeyed my words with a frustrated sigh, turning and walking away, his footsteps echoing down the hall.Watching him walk away, every part of me wanted to call him back, but I forced myself to stay silent. I’d already complicated things enough.I stood there for what felt like an eternity; after he left me, my l

I stood frozen, my eyes glued to Lunette’s form lying on the bed. My mind racing with questions I couldn’t begin to answer. Questions like, How had she done that? What kind of power had just come out from her? She still looked so small and fragile now, her face far less pale against the pillow. I’d checked on her every minute since I carried her in here, making sure she was breathing and ensuring she wasn’t hurt. Yet now, as I stared at her, I couldn’t ignore the storm of questions building inside me. I leaned against the wall, one hand tucked into my pocket, the other gripping the table. I didn’t realize how tightly I was gripping the edge of the bedside table or that my knuckles had turned white until Axel’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. “What the hell is she, Zarek?” he demanded, his tone sharp and accusatory. I flinched, anger flaring at his tone. "Lower your voice,” I growled, casting a glance at Lunette. “She’s been lying to us,” Axel continued, ignoring my warnin

Axel POV I could barely sit still not with my thoughts still all tangled with worry,and suspicion.Not when it was causing this gnawing frustration that I couldn’t seem to shake off.Lunette was everywhere in my mind, and Lorraine’s venomous words from before were still played on a loop in my ears.Lunette was a rejected omega, an alpha’s daughter. If Lorraine was right, then goddess I didn't know what came next if that was the case.Rejected or not, it didn’t matter to me. What did matter was that Lunette had been keeping secrets—and I was going to find out what they were. I rose from my bed immediately,pulling on a clean shirt,I glanced at my reflection in the mirror. My face was tense,and I looked tired as hell but I decided I couldn’t wait any longer.I needed answers, and I needed to see her. The hall outside my room was quiet, the glow of lamp lights lining the walls cast a faint shadow over the floor.I tried to be quiet since it was late but my boots thudded against th

Lunette POV The air was warm and cold at the same time, I wasn't sure how that was possible at all. But the cold felt sharp against my skin, and carried with it a faint scent of pine and decay.My whole body was aching, and that was when I realized I wasn't really wearing clothes to protect me from the winter, and that I was back in my father’s pack house, with its familiar suffocating walls pressing down on me. Everything felt the same—the heavy silence, the watchful eyes of those who turned away from me even when I was suffering, that and the ever-looming presence of Varda and Lorraine. I stood in the center of the grand hall, my legs trembling beneath me while I held on to the rag I was using to scrub the floors as Varda circled round me like a predator. Her sharp nails dragged along the back of a chair, the sound grating in the oppressive quiet. “Did you really think you’d escape us, girl?” she sneered, her lips twisting into a cruel smile. I wasn't sure where she thought I

Axel POV The cool night air clinging to me as as I stepped into the pack house after another long, gruelling patrol was not welcome. I was exhausted and I needed a break but I didn't have much time to sleep so dragging my steps as I climbed the stairs to my room, desperate for a shower and maybe a few hours of peace. I made my way to my room, dumping my gear along the road as I went, trying not to collapse any where on the floor and just go to sleep.The patrol had been uneventful, a few rogues as usual nothing that was out of the ordinary but my body ached from the hours spent keeping watch, my mind was tense with worry about Lunette's training with Zarek though I tried not think of that particular thing at the moment.All I wanted was a shower and some sleep, but the sight that greeted me as I opened my door drained whatever patience I had left down the drain.

Alpha Cormac POVThe chill in the air was unmistakable warning that winter was coming, with the Harvest feast done, I had more things to worry about and I wasn’t one to leave things to chance.I preferred to get ahead of these things, ensuring the pack was ready for whatever nature had in store.Curtis, walked alongside me as we discussed preparations for the colder months.“We’ll need to double the firewood stockpile this year,” Curtis said, jotting down notes on his clipboard.“And, I think the hunters should start earlier. Game is already retreating deeper into the forest.”I nodded, my mind busy calculating how best to allocate resources."Agreed. Make sure the Beta teams are assigned to rotate shifts so they can cover more ground.”As we continued down the corridor, Curtis still rambling off a list of thing that needed to be done a smal

Zarek POVI stood in the training field the next day, waiting with the thoughts running through my head like a washing machine left on.Maybe it was a bit of an exaggeration, but that was how I felt. I was here earlier than she was again! I was glad for that, though it gave me time to think and at least get my thoughts in order.Lunette arrived a few minutes later; she looked exhausted from our last session.She smiled at me, her wide, curious eyes looking for mine, and I forced myself to look away.The memory of her touch, her scent, and the way she moved, her brows wrinkling when she tried to copy a move I showed her, haunted me.It was infuriating..I was furious with myself for feeling this way, for letting the mere sight of her pull at desires I had no right to have.It was wrong. Every damn part of it was wrongI had no right to want her—not when she was

Lunette POVI was up early; the excitement and nerves had made it too hard to sleep all night, so here I was almost thirty minutes early, walking to the training grounds. I was looking forward to this. If I was ever going to hold my own in this pack—or any pack—I needed to be stronger, faster, and better.I reached the clearing, expecting to see Axel waiting for me, the usual impatient scowl he had plastered on his face most of the time when he saw me.Instead, there was someone else standing in the middle of the field, arms crossed, his sharp features set in an unreadable line.Zarek!I remembered what I had said to him that night at the Harvest feast. My throat closed up, my stomach dancing with nerves all of a sudden.“Zarek?” I said, my voice filling with surprise.“What are you doing here?”He turned to face me, his amber eyes locking ont

Zarek POVThe moon was dying of that was a term I could use , it hung low just behind the trees its pale glow over the dense forest making it brighter.I made my way back to the pack house eager to get out of my wet clothes, patrols had been grueling tonight, every muscles I'm my body ached, and the lingering scent of blood and dirt clung to my clothes. All I wanted was to collapse in bed, maybe grab a drink first if I could muster the energy. But as I crossed the courtyard, the shadow moving in the corner of my vision told me that I would not get any rest tonight.“Zarek!” I heard a voice call out, it didn't sound familiar besides no one was supposed to be out right now.. I tensed, instincts kicking in, until Axel stepped into the light. “Axel?” I said, frowning. “What are you doing out here?” He looked like hell, his hair disheveled, his shirt wrinkled and damp a wild desperation in his eyes,that I didn’t like one bit “I need your help,” he said, his voice low but urgent h

Lunette POVIt was morning; it had been for over four hours, and I hadn't been asleep for almost five. I got out of bed and made to get dressed. I tugged on a shirt and some pants.I was in no mood to cook or work in the garden, so I wandered down the hallway, breathing deeply; it was cold, the air crisp and heavy, carrying the faint scent of freshly turned soil, grass, and pine as I stepped into the training ground.I stood at the edge of the training grounds. My eyes fixed on the sparring circle where Alpha Cormac and Axel seemed to be doing exactly what the name implied.Their movements were a full blend of power and precision, with their facial muscles rippling as they traded blows with a speed that left me breathless.Alpha Cormac was a force of nature; his strikes were all calculated, each movement showing off the raw power honed by years of experience.Axel matched him as well because he was
