I 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

Axel POV The familiar scent of the pack's castle hit me the moment I crossed the gates; the beta's was watching the gate, gave me a small nod, then looked away from me almost immediately. Gis face did something that I didn't have the energy to decode because I was too glad to be home at last, the blend of aged stone, pine from the forests, and the faint trace of wildflowers that reminded me of her—Lunette.My shoulders sagged in relief; it had been three days—after three grueling days patrolling the southern borders at my father's insistence. He didn't want Zarek to go because he couldn't be sure my brother would keep his mind about him, especially since it was already around the time of the month when he had his episodes.We didn't want him far from home either, or we could have gone together since my presence would keep him calm, but I couldn’t help feeling like I’d been sent away for reasons beyond the usual reason he had given to me. “She’s a disgrace,” someone muttered, and I f

Lunette POVThe days always seemed to blur together into one long tape of endless hours that never ended. Each day I woke up in the morning and trudged along my life, and I forced myself into a routine, each one more draining than the last.The castle seemed colder, the air heavier with the weight of whispered judgment. I moved through it like a ghost, doing my best to remain invisible.I kept my head down, focusing on the tasks I could control: tidying the rooms, tending to the garden, and preparing meals when needed. Anything to distract myself from the whispers that followed me like a curse. They hadn't stopped despite Aloha Cormac's best effort to quiet them, and I wasn't sure they would any time soon, but I appreciated his efforts.I couldn’t afford to let them break me. Not now; I had clawed my way out of that type of negativity, and it hadn't been my fault. At least in this I shared a little of the burden so I could do it.

Lunette POVAfter that day with Axel in the library, I did my best to stay away from both of them; I wanted my peace, and I was going to have it.Each day passed in a usual haze of avoidance and silence. I stayed in my room for as long as I could manage to without running out of my mind. It was better than trying to ignore the whispers about me everywhere I went. Most days I spent them watching the light fade through the window; I told myself I was fine being alone. I didn’t need anyone even when it was a lie. I was getting bored already; I needed a distraction, and then a knock came at the door. For a brief moment, I considered ignoring it, especially since it might have been one of the twins, but then what if it wasn't?The knock sounded on the door again, and something about the sharp, commanding rhythm of it made me hesitate. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I crossed the room and opened the door, and just like I thought, there he stood—Alpha Cormac. His presence was as overw

Alpha Cormac POV Morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows of my office, casting shadows across my polished oak desk.A few stacks of papers were neatly arranged on about three quarters of the table: the council’s latest demands reports from the patrol guards and a report from Axel's patrol a few days ago, trade agreements he was working on with a few neighboring packs, as well as endless council updates that required my attention. I tried to focus, grabbing the nearest report and scanning the lines. Something about boundary disputes between our pack and the Moonshadow Pack. I should care. I needed to care.Yet, no matter how much I tried to focus on the words in front of me, my mind refused to cooperate; instead, it wandered back to her.Lunette.Always back to her.I set my pen down on the table, leaning back into my chair, allowing myself a moment to indulge in the memory of our date last night, the way her eyes had glinted beneath the moonlight when we she had looked up

Lunette POVAfter my date with Alpha Cormac, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something between us had shifted.The night between us had been perfect—almost surreal, the way he had arranged everything with such care, from the moonlit building to the soft glow of lanterns that illuminated the makeshift table he had set up for our dinner.No one had bothered to do that for me in a very long time, and I couldn't hide how cared for it had made me feel in that moment.He had been charming, attentive, and more vulnerable than I’d ever seen him. As I closed the door behind me, I couldn’t quite shake the feelings he had brought up in me, even though I had tried to force myself not to feel anything at all, but his calm demeanor had made me feel special, the look in his eyes had been piercing, and yet they had softened just for me, and the fleeting brush of his fingers against mine had made it all too real, almost too real for someone like me. By the end of that dinner my heart wasn’t just fl

Lunette's POV I stood there, frozen in time, in the spot where Alpha Cormac had just proposed to me, my eyes fixed on some unseen thing, because I was very certain if you asked me what I was looking for, I could not tell you. “Take your time,” he said softly, his voice meant only for me. “I’ll wait for as long as it takes.” He had said it to me, and he meant it, because even with people looking, even with the whispers that would follow that the alpha was weak for a woman, he did not urge me or force me to think; he just gave me a curt nod as Alpha Cormac turned to leave. I still couldn't believe what he had just asked me; it would have been a feat to have forgotten, especially when his proposal still lingered in the air and rang in my ear, leaving me to deal with a mix of emotions that I was not sure I should be feeling right now. Part of me was drawn to the idea of being with him, of being the Luna and ruling by his side, of finally having a place to belong where I could try to

Axel POVThe grand hall had been suffocating, and I had needed the break as always, so I had snuck out to the courtyard that seemed busy for absolutely no reason. Zarek leaned against a tree looking off in the distance. I walked up to him and leaned next to him, arms crossed."Do you know what's going on with the crowd?" I asked, and he looked away. "Why the hell should I know?" he asked, and I shrugged. "Because you've been out here longer than I have, brooding schmuck," I hissed, and he sighed, his dark eyes scanning the forming crowd stretched out in front of us. “Why are you even here?” Zarek muttered under his breath, his annoyance barely masked.“To get some air,” I replied dryly. I looked out at the crowd and frowned in confusion. Our father stood at the center of it all, his presence pulling every gaze in his direction. Then someone pushed a woman across the garden, and I winced when she tried to escape but stumbled and came to a stop, and then I saw who it was, and the at

Lunnette's POV The crisp evening air wrapped around us as Alpha Cormac and I strolled side by side through the forest trails surrounding the pack estate, the breeze carrying the scent of pine and earth. The towering trees whispered in that wind, their branches casting long shadows under the waning sunlight. The weight of the day and the proposal from earlier still weighed on me, heavy on me; I couldn't really wrap my head around it, and yet being beside him felt grounding, so it didn't seem like too much happened to me.Alpha Cormac walked a step ahead, his stride confident but unhurried. He looked to me often, his eyes lingering over my skin, watching me like I was all that mattered. He had always carried himself with an ease that made his power evident, but tonight, though, his silence unnerved me. I stole glances at him, hoping to read his thoughts, even from his face, but his sharp features gave nothing away; they remained mostly blank with the occasional smile.He wasn’t a man

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
