View MoreNathaniel's POVPhoebe and I settled back into our routine, but nothing felt the same. There was a tension in the air, not just between us but throughout the entire pack. We all knew an attack could come at any moment, and there was no room for mistakes. I spent most of my time reinforcing defenses, making sure the warriors were ready, and setting up new patrol routes. Every decision had to be perfect.What surprised me the most was how involved Phoebe had become. At first, I thought she was just curious, but then she started making suggestions—ones that were too good to ignore. She pointed out weak spots in our patrols, suggested different formations for defense, and even spoke about battle strategies that weren’t common knowledge. Some of the things she said were the same ideas I had considered, but others were things I hadn’t even thought about.The first time she corrected one of my plans, I assumed it was a lucky guess. But then it kept happening. She wasn’t just throwing out ide
Nathaniel's POV The journey back to Moonhowl was quiet. The tension from our last moments in Moonfury still sat heavy on my shoulders. Phoebe rode beside me, silent but alert. I knew she was thinking the same thing I was—something was very wrong.The trees stretched high around us, their branches shifting with the wind. The dirt path was worn from years of travel, but today it felt longer. Every few minutes, I glanced back, making sure we weren’t being followed. The feeling of being watched hadn’t left me since last night.By the time we reached the Moonhowl Pack’s borders, the sun was already sinking. The guards at the entrance recognized us immediately and stepped aside. No questions, no hesitation. But their faces were tense. Word must have already spread that things hadn’t gone as planned with Tommen.Phoebe and I rode through the main path leading to the pack house. Wolves moved about, some stopping to look at us before continuing on their way. There was no cheerfulness, no reli
Phoebe’s POVI folded another tunic, smoothing out the fabric before placing it carefully into the wooden trunk at the foot of my bed. The room was silent except for the soft rustling of cloth and the occasional creak of the old floorboards beneath my feet.This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.I reached for my cloak, draping it over my arm, my movements controlled despite the storm brewing inside me. The sooner we left, the better.A soft knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.Shirleen.She stood in the doorway, her expression unreadable. Gone was the polite mask she had worn when we first arrived. There was no forced friendliness now, no need for pretended kindness.This time, she wasn’t pretending.I didn’t speak. I simply waited. If she had something to say, she would say it.Shirleen stepped inside, her steps slow and deliberate, like a predator closing in. “You’re leaving sooner than I expected,” she said, her voice s
Nathaniel’s POVThe meeting had dragged on longer than expected. I sat at the long wooden table, arms crossed over my chest, as Alpha Tommen continued talking about alliances. The room was dimly lit, the glow of lanterns casting flickering shadows over the warriors and advisors gathered around.“The Silverclaw Pack has finally pledged their loyalty,” Tommen said, his voice measured. “They hesitated at first, but I convinced their Alpha that our side is the strongest.”I gave a slight nod. Silverclaw had been cautious for weeks, watching and waiting for any sign of weakness. Their support would give Tommen more influence, but it wasn’t enough. There were still packs hesitating, still others that could tip the balance if they made the wrong decision.“And the Darkrun Pack?” one of the advisors asked.Tommen’s expression darkened slightly. “They’re still weighing their options. Alpha Kieran doesn’t trust us fully.”That was a problem. I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table. “Da
Duncan’s POVI sat in the dimly lit hall, fingers drumming against the wooden armrest of my chair, my mind restless. Antonio stood beside me, arms crossed over his chest, his jaw tight with tension.A scout had arrived moments ago, breathless and covered in dust, bringing urgent news—rogues were gathering near our borders. The situation was worse than we had anticipated.I exhaled sharply. "How many?"The scout wiped sweat from his brow. "At least thirty, Alpha. More could be hiding beyond the hills. They’ve been seen moving in small groups, but they are organizing. If we don’t act soon, they’ll strike first."Silence settled heavily in the room.Antonio turned to me, his expression grim. "We can’t afford heavy losses. Our warriors are strong, but we need a real strategy. This isn’t just a random attack—it’s planned."I clenched my jaw. I had been so focused on getting Phoebe back that I hadn’t given enough thought to our defenses. Now, the pack was vulnerable."Have they attacked yet
Phoebe's POVNathaniel was gone again.I sat on the bed, staring at the door he had walked through earlier. It had become a routine now. Every morning, he would leave for those endless meetings, and I would be left behind, waiting. The first few two days, I had tried to convince myself that I didn't mind being alone. But the longer I sat here, the more I realized just how isolated I was.I exhaled, pushing myself up. Sitting here wasn’t going to change anything. It only made me feel weak, like a child waiting for answers I already knew wouldn’t be good.I walked over to the window, pressing my fingers against the cool glass. The Moonfury Pack’s estate stretched far beyond what I could see, enclosed by high walls that kept outsiders away. Pack members moved below, their steps precise, their faces unreadable. There was no warmth in this place, only control.Mia, I called in my mind.For a moment, she was silent. Then, her voice came, steady but cautious. “What is it?”“Something feels
Nathaniel’s POVI pushed open the door to the chambers, my muscles tense from the long meeting. The conversation with Alpha Tommen still weighed on my mind, but I forced myself to shake it off as I stepped inside. Phoebe was already in bed, her back against the headboard, a book resting on her lap. She didn’t look up immediately, but I could tell she was waiting for me to speak.I closed the door behind me, taking slow steps toward the bed. “You’re still awake.”Phoebe turned a page in her book, not looking at me. “Of course. I wanted to hear what happened at the meeting.”From how she held herself, I could tell she was dying to hear everything that went down with Alpha Tommen. And she didn't have to pretend that she was reading that book. Maybe it had helped her stay awake, but she was definitely not reading it. I looked around quickly, wondering where she found the book. No place looked likely to hold the book. My eyes went back to her and then I got closer.I sat on the edge of th
Duncan’s POVThe meeting hall was silent except for the sound of Antonio’s fingers tapping against the wooden table. The steady rhythm was the only noise breaking through the heavy stillness in the room. I sat at the head of the long table, my hands clasped together, staring at the empty seats around me. Every one of those chairs used to be filled with warriors, advisors, and strategists—people I trusted, people who had faith in me as their Alpha. But now, the hall felt hollow. The pack was weaker than ever, and I knew exactly why.It made me wake up at night to mourn our new fate. When I heard of raids and attacks on other packs, my blood ran cold because I feared it could be the Glassfur pack one day. We weren't totally weak, we were still held in high esteem by other packs and we still rode on past glory, but for how long would that go on?“Things are getting worse,” I said finally, my voice steady but sharp. “If we don’t do something now, we won’t have a pack left to fight for.”A
Chapter 46 Phoebe’s POVNathaniel had been gone for a while, locked in a meeting with Alpha Tommen. He had told me to stay put in our guest suite, but I couldn’t just sit here. The walls of the room felt too tight, like they were closing in on me.Mia tried severally to make me believe it was just my mind playing tricks on me, but I knew that was not the case. There was an ominous feel to the place and I worried even about Nathaniel. He was the one mostly doing the worrying, but this time I couldn't simply not panic for him. I walked to the window and looked out at Moonfury Pack’s territory. It was different from Moonhowl. The packhouse itself was made of strong stone, its towering structure giving it an imposing feel. Warriors moved with discipline, their steps measured, their eyes scanning the surroundings as if constantly expecting trouble.We hadn't come with warriors or even escorts. Nathaniel had wanted to give the impression that we indeed came for peace and would not start
Phoebe's POVI scrubbed the counters harder, the veins in my hands bulging.They were clean but I didn't stop.Mark sat behind me on a swing chair and I could feel his eyes almost drilling a hole on my back. He cracked open a beer.He took a swig tossing the empty bottle at my feet. It shattered on the floor, but I didn't flinch. I already knew he was just trying to get me to retaliate so he could get me into trouble.Since I moved in with my uncle, his father three months ago, he made it his mission to make my life unbearable.“Hurry up, you jinx.”Mark said behind me.I didn't bother to look back at him. I kept scrubbing.Going back and forth with him was useless. I was here because his father, my uncle, was a good man. Even if he didn't try to defend me or call Mark to order.He picked a brush from the floor and threw it at me. I tilted my head away.“I've done nothing wrong to you, Mark. Leave me the hell alone,” I snapped, clenching my fists. He walked towards me angrily, his ey...
