Alpha Duncan’s POV

I liked to have those evening strolls around the pack house. In the past, it was Phoebe who went everywhere with me, trailed by my beta. But now, I only went around in the company of my beta, Antonio. He was a loyal one, and he gave me the most useful advice, but nothing could come close to the time when I had her by my side. She was everything one needed to run a pack. She was a voice that came constantly with wisdom.

Antonio and I walked through the heart of the Glassfur pack, our boots moving in steady rhythm over the stone pathways. The scent of burning torches mixed with the damp earth, and the occasional flicker of firelight served as the only lighting for the walls. Warriors stood at their posts, their sharp eyes tracking our movements, their presence a quiet reminder of the strength I had built here.

Yet, despite all I had, I could not silence the thought gnawing at me.

Antonio didn’t speak, but I could feel him waiting. He did less talking and more listenin

    Phoebe’s POVThe night air felt crisp as I sat by the window, looking down at the pack below. The buildings were quiet, most of the wolves already in their homes, resting for whatever tomorrow would bring. A few warriors stood guard, their movements steady and disciplined, but my eyes weren’t really focused on them.I had been here for weeks, yet something inside me still hesitated to call this place home.It wasn’t because of Nathaniel. He had done everything to make me feel like I belonged here. He had protected me, stood by my side, and made it clear that I was his choice. That I was meant to be here with him.But even now, I felt that lingering question pressing at the back of my mind.Did I truly belong here?“Why are you doubting again?” Mia, my wolf, sighed in my mind. Her presence was warm, steady, but there was frustration in her voice.“It’s not doubt,” I answered, though even I wasn’t sure if that was the truth. “It’s just... I’ve never belonged anywhere. Glassfur wasn’t ho

    Phoebe’s POVThe journey to the Moonfury Pack had been long and exhausting, but I kept my thoughts to myself as we finally approached the gates. Just as Nathaniel had said, we'd had to rise very early to prepare to leave. Even till the last minute, he had wanted to dissuade me. He'd asked me over and over again if I really did wanted to come and when I replied that it'd be better if he stopped asking me, seeing that I'd already made up my mind to go with him, he'd simply said, “I'm just worried things might get unpleasant and I don't want you to be caught up in any of that unpleasantness.”But he got the reply he knew he'd get. I wasn't afraid of whatever he was referring to as unpleasantness and I told him so. The towering walls of the packhouse loomed before us, guarded by several warriors. The moment Nathaniel and I stepped forward, I felt their eyes on me.They weren’t just watching. They were judging.Everyone here had expected Nathaniel to marry Shirleen, the Alpha’s daughter.

    Nathaniel's POV The guest suite we had been given was impressive—spacious, well-decorated, and equipped with a large fireplace, beautiful mantelpiece. I didn't want to pay attention to the furnishings, but I couldn't help it. The place was elaborately furnished but not like my pack. We were richer than most of the neighbouring pack. “And maybe that's part of the reason your brother won't stop until he claims the pack,” my wolf mumbled inside me. This wasn't the time to start worrying over a traitorous brother, so I simply pushed the thought of Alexander off my mind. My eyes went around the room again.The window overlooked the Moonfury Pack’s land, giving a view of its well-structured buildings and training grounds. It was a subtle display of power and discipline. Despite the obvious hospitality, Nathaniel knew better. Alpha Tommen was not the kind of man to offer warmth without reason.I glanced at Phoebe, who sat by the window, her gaze distant. She was quiet, too quiet. She was

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Nathaniel's POVThe knock came just after sunrise.This time, I was dressed and waiting. I didn’t sleep much the night before. The guard at my door gave a small nod and said, “It’s time.”I followed him without asking questions. We walked down a different hallway today, one that led away from the main rooms. The floor here was older, the stones uneven and darker than the rest. The air felt heavy.We came to a large wooden door. Two guards opened it as we approached. Cold air blew in at once. I stepped outside and found myself standing in a stone courtyard. The sky above was gray, no sign of sun.High stone walls surrounded the entire space. The walls were rough and worn, but clean. Guards stood at every edge. They held their weapons tight and watched the center of the courtyard.There was a platform in the middle.It was raised a few feet off the ground, with wide wooden steps leading up to it. A long block stood near the center of the platform, shaped for one thing. A heavy axe reste

    Nathaniel's POV Someone knocked on my door before the sun came up. I was already awake, sitting by the window, watching the sky shift from dark to gray. I stood and opened the door. A young guard stood outside, eyes fixed ahead.“Alpha Throndsen would like to see you,” he said.“Now?” I asked.“Yes. He said it’s important.”I didn’t ask more. I changed quickly, pulled on my coat, and followed the guard through the cold halls. The stones under our feet were wet with morning frost. The silence between us lasted the entire walk. We moved past the sleeping halls, past the main courtyard, and through a set of tall wooden doors. Two more guards opened them without a word.Inside, Throndsen waited.He stood by the long window at the far end of the room. The light outside was still faint, but it spilled in just enough to show his face. This time, he didn’t wear his usual polite smile. His hands were behind his back, and he didn’t speak right away.The guard left and closed the door behind me

    Nathaniel's POV The next morning, I stepped outside the guest quarters. The wind was colder than the day before, and the sky was gray. The ground was hard under my boots, and the cliffs stood far in the distance like stone walls. I walked slowly through the Silver-Coast Pack’s territory, taking in everything. The people I passed did not smile. They did not seem to have any message in their eyes. And even if they did, they didn't seem eager to share it to the alpha who had come to them for want of information. They simply moved in directions that they had business in.Most of them did not even look up. They moved quickly and quietly, as if they were afraid of being watched. Or even caught.The guards stood straight at every corner. Their eyes didn’t move unless I spoke to them first. Even then, they only answered with short words. No one joked. No one laughed. It wasn’t like the Star-Rain Pack, where people tried too hard to impress. Here, everything was quiet. Too quiet.I kept walki

    Nathaniel's POVThe road leading to the Silver-Coast Pack was silent. I rode slowly, my eyes fixed on the cliffs in the distance. The wind blew colder here. Even my wolf, Sean, didn’t speak much as we approached the gates. The guards stood in a straight line, quiet and still. Their faces gave nothing away. No movement, no expression. It was like they were made of stone.The gates opened with a heavy sound. No one gave an order, but the guards moved in perfect steps. I stayed on my horse until I saw the man coming toward me. He was tall, his steps slow and steady. He had grey hair at the sides and sharp eyes. I knew right away who he was.“Alpha Throndsen,” I said as I got down from my horse.He didn’t answer at once. He looked at me for a long time, as if he was reading something written on my face.Then he spoke. “Nathaniel. Welcome to Silver-Coast.”His voice was quiet but firm. He nodded to a man beside him, who stepped forward and took the reins of my horse.“Come,” Throndsen said

    Phoebe's POV The next day, I sat at my table, flipping through the records again. The papers were old in some places, newer in others. Some had Nathaniel’s handwriting, and others were mine. There were notes on supplies, guard shifts, and patrol reports. I tried to focus on them, but my head ached from reading too much. I leaned back in the chair and rubbed my forehead slowly.The knock on my door came all of a sudden. I didn’t expect anyone.I frowned. “Come in.”The door opened, and Kara stepped inside. Her hair was tied back today. Her clothes looked cleaner than the last time I saw her. She had a strange look on her face—like she had something important to say. I didn’t trust her. I never did.I sighed and didn’t bother to hide my frown. “What do you want, Kara?”“I need to talk to you,” she said. Her tone was calm. “I found out something. I think it’s important. I came to share it with you. It’s for the good of the pack.”I crossed my arms. “Really? You suddenly care about the p

    Phoebe's POV I stood at the edge of the training grounds. The wind was light, and the sounds of fists hitting practice pads, swords clashing, and feet moving over the dirt filled the air. I didn't say anything. I just watched. My arms were crossed over my chest, and my eyes followed the movements of the younger warriors. Some of them were still learning how to hold their balance. Others moved with more skill. I didn’t know if any of them saw me standing there, and I didn’t care if they did.Mia, my wolf, stayed quiet in my head. She was calm, but I knew she was watching too. We both needed this quiet moment. The day had already been long, and it wasn’t even close to night yet.I didn’t want to think about Elizabeth. I didn’t want to think about what Alpha Darius had said. I didn’t want to think about anything at all. I only wanted to be outside, where the air was fresh and the noise wasn’t coming from arguments.But of course, peace never lasted long.I heard footsteps behind me. The

    Phoebe's POV Elizabeth walked beside me like we were friends. She didn’t say much, only looked ahead and walked with her usual proud steps. I didn’t say anything either. I kept my hands at my sides and focused on the hallway in front of us. The silence between us was tight, but she acted like there was nothing wrong.“She's mastered the art of pretense,” Mia whispered in my head. I shrugged off the thought because I didn't want to settle on it. True, I've come to learn that despite how much Elizabeth had always disliked me, she tried to make sure she didn't show this when Nathaniel was anywhere close, except for the occasions when it became unbearable and she just had to show how much she didn't like me.I'd made peace with the fact that she was never going to like me and I didn't bother to do much to get her to like me. She made it seem like it was Nathaniel that she really loved while she was siding with Alexander. She was the tricky sister indeed and Nathaniel didn't deserve a si
