Dane’s POV "You can't let them take her!" I snapped at Cruz, who seemed to be actually considering their offer. "You were the one who told her she was not allowed to leave!" "They offered us the best silver armor for our whole pack. I'd be an idiot not to consider it," he snapped back. "I'm your Alpha, not your friend right now. Don't get it confused, Dane. Don't question my decisions, or else," he growled, but I wasn't having it. In the past, I would have listened, not because he intimidated me, but because I respected him enough to follow him. Lately, however, I had been losing that respect, which meant I would not tuck my tail and blindly obey. "You can't let that Alpha be her mate. You said it yourself, whoever mates with her will be stronger for it as she is Goddess blessed. Is that really what you want? For the Alpha of the Silvercrest Pack to be stronger than us?" I argued, trying to make him see that allowing this to happen would be a mistake. "I know that. That's the only

Raya's POV His question was one I was not expecting. Certainly I had hoped for it, but with Garret's words in my mind I was weary. Could I live with the fact that perhaps one day Dane would leave me for his true mate if he ever found her? As Garret's words echoed in my mind, thoughts of Orion and Selene's legendary love also flooded my thoughts. They had only one precious year together, but they made every moment count. Their love was profound and everlasting, and I couldn't help but wonder if Dane and I could have the same kind of love. Perhaps we could seize the time we have together and create something extraordinary. Who knows? Maybe his true mate will never appear. Is it wrong of me to think that? To wish that? "Do you really want me as your chosen mate?" I asked, needing to confirm what I had heard. "Yes, Raya. I want you, and only you. I've never felt such a strong connection, such an irresistible pull towards a woman before. You are what I desire for most," he responded,

Raya's POV Roman stood, blocking my path to the pack house. He was still a good distance away, but I learned from last time that he could close that space in an instant. I froze as I stared at him, wondering what to do. Dane wasn't here to save me this time, and it seemed that most everyone was engaged in a battle of their own. My eyes frantically searched the area for anything I could use to fight him off with. I knew it would be useless as he'd just overpower me, but it didn't mean I wasn't going to try. Just a few feet ahead of me was a fire pit with a thick stick poking out of it. I would grab that and burn him to death if needed. Vampires can burn, right? "How are you here?" I stupidly asked, feeling that immense fear growing inside me. "Don't worry about that, kitten. Just know I'm here for the taste I’m due." He smirked, inching closer. I looked at Amaya in hopes she could help, but she was still busy fighting the warlock. He had all her attention as she struggled to bo
Moonlit Rivalry: Raya's Heart Ch. 23
Dane’s POV Leaving Raya behind was difficult, but Garret's advice was sound. If I didn't leave now, I risked not making it in time. I had to find out if the spot Amaya marked on her map was truly my birthplace. Before fully entering the woods, I stole one last glance at her beautiful face, then shifted with Lucian. The rush of cold wind against our hot fur was exhilarating, and with the moon on my side, I felt unstoppable. For a terrifying moment, I caught a whiff of the unmistakable scent of death, the kind only vampires carry. But just as quickly as it came, it vanished. Without time to investigate, I pressed on, knowing the wolves on patrol would handle any rogue vampires daring to approach our pack lands. As I ran towards my destination, the woods grew less dense until I reached a spacious clearing. It wasn't large enough to be considered pack lands, but it could accommodate a decent-sized house. As I approached the spot Amaya directed me to, I noticed the clearing led to a stee

Raya's POV "What do you mean, she's your mate? You don't know that. Today's not an Eclipse," Drusilla snapped at Elliot, surprising me with the way she was speaking to her Alpha. "It might not be the Eclipse, but I can feel her. There's a strong pull towards her," he spoke to Drusilla, but his gaze remained fixed on me. His eyes held a curious intensity, much like the wolf in the woods. Could he be that wolf? "Do you feel pulled to him?" Drusilla directed her question at me, pointing the small dagger she had been playing with towards me. I hadn't noticed it until now, and its presence only heightened the tension in the room. "I..." I hesitated, unsure of how to answer. I could feel a faint pull towards him, a gentle hum inside me, but it wasn't as intense as what I had felt with Dane. If I said no, would he harm me? If I said yes, would Drusilla hurt me? "She's human, Drusilla. She's not going to be able to tell," the warlock interjected, saving me from the difficult decision. "S

Dane’s POVEverything had gone to shit. I wanted to yell at the world, to howl at the moon for what we were going through. But I kept my composure, knowing that it wouldn't help our situation. I needed to stay strong for Garret, so he wouldn't see how terrified I truly was."Everyone's so quiet," Garret said, trying to lighten the mood, but the groan that followed his statement only added to the tension in the air. He was dying, and there was no cure for the Eclipse Moon Pack's bite. Yet, Amaya was frantically mixing ingredients together, desperately trying to find a solution. No witch had ever been able to break the curse of the moon, and as talented as Amaya was, I doubted she would be the first."Here, drink this. It will help with the pain," she said, lifting Garret by the back of his neck so he could drink from the wooden bowl more easily. The thick green liquid had a bitter scent that made me want to cough."What's in that? It's awful," Garret complained, coughing as he finished

Raya’s POVI had somehow managed to avoid the question of why I was brought in. I feigned innocence, and thankfully the Lunas all believed me. They assumed that I had been taken to the warlock to be healed because I was human and, as such, could not heal on my own. Having to lie to the Lunas was not something I wanted to do, but I was worried about what they would think or say if I told them the truth.Sleep was hard to come by on the damp, cold ground, causing us each to only get a couple of hours before small streams of sunlight could be seen through the cracks of the bricks. The dungeon was falling apart, leaving small openings between the bricks for air and sunlight to get in. They weren't big enough to see anything through, but large enough to feel the air and let some light in. Even so, it was hard to see with only the smallest amount of sun entering."They are more than likely taking care of the dead this morning," Luna Beatrix was the first to speak as we ate the stale bread th
Moonlit Rivalry: Raya's Heart Ch. 27
Dane's POV Morning came before any of us were truly ready. With the sun's bright rays shining straight onto my face through the crack in my blinds, making it impossible to ignore. Instead, I dragged my tired ass out of bed and took a quick shower to further wake myself. Today I would help burn our dead and battle Alpha Jan, in that order. Lucian is a strong wolf, particularly since stepping foot near our pack lands last night. The reason behind his sudden surge in strength was hard to determine, perhaps just being close enough to our pack land woke his Alpha instincts further. Nevertheless, I felt confident that we could beat Alpha Jan if we fought well enough. The challenge lay in his armor and silver manipulation. However, there may be a slim chance of me convincing him to leave it off. Manipulating Jan into joining the fight had proven relatively effortless by questioning his courage. Today, I contemplated employing a similar tactic, asking if he's worried a pack-less Alpha co
