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

    Lunette's POV The ring still glimmered on my finger like a piece of stolen moonlight; the weight of the ring felt heavier than it looked. I turned it this way and that, watching how the light caught on its smooth edges.Alpha Cormac had left only moments ago; I looked up again, but his powerful frame had already disappeared down the hallway. I closed the door gently, leaning against it for a moment to catch my bearings and my breath. The room was still, the only sound the soft rustle sounds of my socks sliding against the floor. I leaned against the door for a moment, trying to process the whirlwind of the evening. My heart was still racing from his presence, and I shook my head to clear the muddled thoughts swimming in my mind. But before I could even take a breath, the door was pushed open with enough force to make me stumble back. “Cormac?” I gasped, my eyes flying up to meet his. He stood there, leaning against the doorway, filling it with his undeniable presence, a predatory

    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

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.

    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
