Kaida’s POV

After the chaos of the pack meeting and my confrontation with Atlas, I couldn’t take it anymore. The pain, the constant back and forth—it was suffocating. I needed to leave, to put distance between myself and everything that tied me to him.

I found my father and brother in the pack house’s common room, deep in conversation. Their voices hushed when I entered, their expressions immediately shifting to concern. I must have looked as shaken as I felt.

“Kaida?” my father said, his brow furrowing as he stood. “What’s wrong, princess?”

I hesitated for a moment, trying to collect my thoughts, but there was no easy way to say what I needed to. “Dad, Axel… I’ve made a decision,” I said, my voice trembling but resolute. “I want to leave the pack. Permanently.”

Both of them froze, their eyes widening in shock. “Leave?” Axel asked, stepping closer. “Kaida, what are you talking about? Why would you want to leave?”

I took a deep breath, forcing myself to meet their gazes. “I

I agree I think it’s best Kaida getting away from Atlas for him to wake up to himself and sort his shit out. And also give Kaida the space she needs so she doesn’t have to worry about what hurdle is next with her mate.

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 39

    Atlas’s POV I stood by the pack house, watching as Kaida’s father, Alpha Thor and her brother, Axel, approached. The atmosphere was heavy with unspoken words, the tension palpable. Kaida was nowhere in sight, but I could feel her absence like a hollow ache in my chest. “Alpha Atlas,” Thor began, his tone polite but firm as he extended a hand. I shook it, nodding in acknowledgment. “Alpha Thor, Axel,” I replied, keeping my voice calm even though I could sense the purpose behind their visit. Thor looked me straight in the eye, his gaze unwavering. “I want to thank you for accommodating us all these years. For the protection, the trust, and the opportunities you’ve given my family.” “You’re welcome,” I said, but I could feel there was more coming. His expression hardened slightly, the faintest edge of steel entering his tone. “But I must ask one thing of you, Alpha. Stay far away from my daughter.” The words hit like a blow, but I kept my composure. “Kaida is strong, but s

    Kaida’s POV The morning air was high in the sky as I stood on the training grounds of Miguel’s pack, my hands clenched tightly at my sides. The clinking of weapons and the grunts of warriors filled the air as wolves sparred around me. Miguel, ever composed, stood to the side, observing the drills with an approving nod. “Kaida,” he called, his voice carrying over the noise. I turned to face him, keeping my expression neutral. “Yes, Alpha?” Miguel walked over, his presence as commanding as ever. “This pack thrives on discipline, strength, and loyalty. You’ve been given a chance here, and I hope you’re ready to show what you’re made of.” “I am,” I replied firmly, meeting his gaze. He smiled faintly, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. “Good. Let’s see if your reputation lives up to it.” The words carried weight, and I could feel the eyes of the warriors around us, their gazes skeptical. It didn’t bother me. I wasn’t here to impress anyone. I was here to find my place, to rebuild

    Kaida’s POV The days in Miguel’s pack passed quickly, and though I was beginning to find my rhythm, something still felt off. I couldn’t tell if it was the formal or the nature of the wolves here or the weight of my own thoughts, but I often felt like I was trying to fit into a mold that wasn’t made for me. One afternoon, I decided to take a break from the structured training and walked through the bustling central grounds. Wolves moved about, laughing. to the stoic warriors I trained with every morning. It was refreshing to see this side of the pack—less disciplined, more alive. As I strolled, I heard a familiar voice call out behind me. “Kaida!” I turned to see Linda jogging toward me, a broad smile on her face. She was one of the few wolves I’d started to feel comfortable around, her warm demeanor a welcome change from the sharp-edged personalities I’d encountered so far. “You looked like you were about to sneak off somewhere,” she said teasingly, falling into step beside me

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 42

    Kaida’s POV The morning after the gathering, the pack was alive with its usual buzz of activity. Warriors moved between the training grounds and the barracks, and a group of pups played near the communal dining hall, their laughter ringing out. On the surface, it seemed like a normal day. But for me, the discovery of Miguel’s letter had left an uneasy feeling in my chest. I hadn’t decided what to do about it yet. The letter’s implications weren’t entirely clear, and part of me wondered if I was overreacting. Still, something about Miguel’s mention of “securing the outsider’s trust” didn’t sit right with me. "I don't trust him." Selena my wolf said. "Neither do I Selena." I replied "We will beet his us if he tries something funny." my over protective wolf said. "Easy girl." I replied her laughing at her comment. “Kaida,” a familiar voice called out, interrupting my thoughts. I turned to see Miguel approaching, his usual confident smile in place. He looked as relaxed and

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 43

    Kaida’s POV The tension in the air was palpable as we marched the rogue back to Miguel’s pack grounds. He walked ahead of us, his shoulders hunched and his breathing erratic. Darius kept a firm grip on his arm, while Lina and Jace flanked him, their eyes scanning the forest for any signs of an ambush. I walked at the rear, my mind spinning with questions. Who was this wolf? Why had he trespassed into Miguel’s territory? And most importantly, what did his appearance have to do with the strange alliance Miguel was trying to forge with Alpha Logan? As we approached the gates, my father and Axel were waiting, their expressions a mix of concern and curiosity. My father, always the measured one, stepped forward first. “Kaida,” he said, his eyes darting to the rogue. “What’s going on here?” “We found him near the northern border,” I explained. “He was acting suspicious, and he refused to tell us which pack he belongs to.” Axel crossed his arms, his gaze narrowing. “What do you pl

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 44

    Atlas’s POV The early morning sun did little to warm the cold emptiness in my chest. The training grounds were filled with the sounds of grunts and heavy footsteps as warriors sparred and practiced maneuvers, their breath fogging in the air. I stood on the edge of the field, my arms crossed, my gaze sharp as I surveyed them. Every imperfection, every hesitation, every missed strike caught my attention, fueling the restless anger that had become my constant companion. “Form tighter ranks!” I barked, my voice cutting through the air like a whip. “If this were a real fight, you’d be dead already!” The warriors scrambled to adjust, their movements hurried and tense. I knew I was being harsher than usual, but I didn’t care. There was no room for weakness—not in this pack, and certainly not in me. “Again,” I ordered, pacing along the line. As they resumed their drills, my mind drifted, unbidden, to her. Kaida. Her name was a dagger, sharp and painful, twisting deeper with every

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 45

    Kaida’s POV The air in Miguel’s pack felt heavier lately, as if the weight of unseen eyes pressed against me at every turn. The rogue’s presence had stirred questions, doubts, and unease that no one wanted to address directly. Miguel carried on as if everything was normal, but the growing tension among the pack members told a different story. As I walked through the training grounds that morning, the murmurs of wolves quieted as I passed. Their glances lingered too long, their whispers just loud enough to catch my attention. It wasn’t paranoia—I was being watched. “Kaida!” I turned at the sound of my father’s voice. He approached quickly, Axel trailing behind him. “Something wrong?” I asked, noting the serious look on his face. “Not here,” he said quietly. “Come with us.” We returned to the guesthouse, where my father closed the door firmly behind us. Axel leaned against the wall, arms crossed, while my father paced the room, his brow furrowed in thought. “Someone’s been ask

    Miguel’s POVThe room was dimly lit, the glow of a single candle casting shadows across the walls of my private chambers. Alpha Logan sat across from me, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp and calculating. He swirled the amber liquid in his glass, the faint sound of ice clinking against the glass filling the silence between us.“It’s going better than I could have hoped,” Logan said finally, his voice a mix of satisfaction and arrogance.I leaned back in my chair, my fingers steepled under my chin. “Yes, separating them was the key. Kaida was always the emotional anchor holding Atlas steady. Without her, he’s unraveling.”Logan chuckled darkly. “I warned him long ago—love is a weakness. It makes even the strongest Alphas vulnerable. Look at him now—lashing out at his pack, distracted by the chaos within his own walls.”My lips curled into a smirk. “Precisely as we intended.”Logan took a sip of his drink, his expression turning contemplative. “And Kaida? How is she adjusting?”“Sh

    Kaida’s POV** The crimson glow of dawn spilled over the treetops, casting long shadows through the dense forest. The chilling words from the letter still echoed in my mind. **She’s still watching.** Seren. Akira’s sister was out there, lurking beneath the cover of night. Waiting. Watching. A ghost clinging to the edges of our fragile peace. I clenched the parchment tighter in my hands, feeling the weight of the threat pressing against my chest. I knew what would come next. She wouldn’t stop until blood had been spilled—mine, Akira’s, or anyone who stood in her way. The packhouse stirred with life as the sun rose higher, warriors sharpening blades and reinforcing the outer walls. The air was heavy with anticipation. They sensed what was coming, even if no one dared speak it aloud. Atlas stood at the edge of the clearing, his golden eyes flicking toward the forest with every breath. His protective instincts surged through the bond between us—strong, unwavering. “She’s

    Kaida’s POVThe first rogue lunged, its yellow eyes flashing in the dim light. The scent of damp earth and blood filled the clearing as Atlas’s wolf met the attack midair, a snarl ripping through the night. The battle erupted around us—claws slashing, teeth snapping. My heart pounded against my ribs, but I forced myself to stay **steady**. I had led them here. Now I had to **survive.** Akira was at my side, her breath ragged, eyes flicking through the shadows. I felt every wolf watching her—waiting for her to turn against us. But she didn’t. Not yet. “Hold the line!” I shouted, my voice cutting through the chaos. Crescent Moon warriors moved as one, forming a protective ring around the packhouse. Every muscle in my body screamed to fight—to prove I could protect them. But I couldn’t lose sight of what this battle was really about. Gregor. I scanned the clearing, searching the shadows for his yellow eyes. My claws curled at my sides, aching for revenge. Atlas’s

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 121

    Kaida’s POVThe crimson letters glared back at me from the parchment in my trembling hands. The words, carved in jagged strokes, echoed through my mind like a curse. *You spared one. But mercy always has a price.* The message smelled of blood—fresh, sharp, and deliberate. Whoever had sent it wanted me to know they were close. Behind me, Atlas’s breath fanned hot against my neck, his golden eyes fixed on the letter. His wolf’s growl rumbled low in his chest, vibrating through the tense silence of the room. “This is a threat,” he snarled, his voice dangerously low. I swallowed hard, folding the parchment slowly. My fingers trembled, but I forced them steady. “It’s a promise.” Atlas’s growl deepened, his wolf brushing dangerously close to the surface. “You should have killed her, Kaida.” His words sliced through me sharper than any blade, but I refused to flinch. “I know.” I stood at the center of the war room, the map of Shadowcrest spread across the table. The fli

    Kaida’s POVThe moon hung high over **Shadowcrest**, casting cold silver light through the cracks in the packhouse walls. The scouts' message echoed in my mind like a haunting whisper. **Gregor… traitor.** I stood at the war table, my fingers tracing the map spread beneath flickering candlelight. The northern ridge was marked in red—where the rogues had been spotted gathering. The betrayal cut deeper than any wound I had ever endured. Atlas paced behind me, his golden eyes **dark and unreadable.** His wolf was close—too close—but he kept his rage bottled beneath the surface. Axel leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his sharp blue gaze flicking between us. “We trusted him,” Axel said bitterly. “He fought with us. He bled for us.” I swallowed hard, the betrayal pressing heavy on my chest. “He’s bleeding for someone else now.” Atlas’s low growl rumbled through the room, shaking the air around us. His fists clenched at his sides, the veins in his arms pulsing beneath hi

    Kaida’s POVThe sun was barely above the horizon when the whispers started again. The wolves of Shadowcrest watched Akira’s every step—**waiting for her to snap.** I felt their eyes following us as I led Akira toward the packhouse. Their doubt clung to the air like smoke, thick and suffocating. Atlas walked a few steps behind, his golden eyes never leaving Akira’s back. His wolf prowled just beneath the surface, barely contained. I couldn't blame him. I wasn’t sure if I trusted her either. The courtyard was crowded as wolves gathered to rebuild what the last battle had stolen from them. They paused as we passed, their whispered suspicions prickling at the edge of my hearing. “She should have killed her.” “Mercy will get us all killed.” “She’s protecting a traitor.” I clenched my fists, forcing myself to keep walking. They didn’t understand. They saw mercy as **weakness.** But I saw something they couldn’t—**a chance to break the cycle.** Akira’s head remained

    Kaida’s POV** The moon hung heavy in the sky, casting silver streaks over the dense forest. Each breath I took tasted of cold earth and lingering tension. The message Akira had left behind weighed on my heart, and now I stood face-to-face with her beneath the canopy of stars. Her dark eyes flickered with hatred—sharp, dangerous, but beneath it all, **broken.** "You should have killed me when you had the chance," she hissed, her voice as brittle as the wind that whistled through the trees. I felt Atlas’s presence behind me, his wolf pacing just beneath his skin, ready to tear through anyone who threatened me. His golden eyes burned into Akira, but he stayed back—**letting me lead this fight.** I clenched my fists, my claws digging into my palms. "I spared you because I know what revenge does to a soul," I said, keeping my voice steady. Akira’s bitter smile twisted across her lips. "And what has mercy done for you, Luna? Made you weak?" Her words cut deep, slicing thro

    Kaida’s POV The message burned in my hands—its jagged letters carved into the parchment like a scar that refused to fade. *You should have killed me when you had the chance.* Akira’s voice echoed in my head, a chilling reminder that mercy always came with a price. Atlas’s warm breath fanned against my neck as he read the message over my shoulder. His golden eyes darkened, his wolf stirring beneath the surface. “She’s taunting you,” he growled, his fingers brushing against mine to take the letter. I clenched my jaw, trying to steady the tremble in my hands. “She’s waiting.” Atlas’s muscles tensed behind me, his chest rising and falling with slow, controlled breaths. “Then let her wait,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. I wanted to believe him—to pretend that Akira’s words were nothing more than hollow threats. But I couldn’t. Not when I had seen the **hatred in her eyes.** Not when I had spared her life—**twice.** I paced the length of the council chambe

    Kaida’s POVThe morning sun spilled over Shadowcrest, casting warm streaks of gold across the rebuilding village. The scent of pine and damp earth filled the air, mixing with the distant crackle of fires as warriors repaired the damaged walls. The world outside seemed to be stitching itself back together… But inside, I still felt like I was balancing on the edge of **something fragile.** Atlas’s arm rested around my waist, his golden eyes scanning the horizon as if he expected the shadows to rise again. He hadn’t let me out of his sight since we returned. Part of me wanted to push him away—prove that I could stand on my own. But another part—the part I hated admitting even to myself—**needed him close.** “You’re watching me again,” I murmured, breaking the silence. Atlas’s fingers tightened on my hip. “You almost died, Kaida.” I glanced up, meeting the storm brewing behind his gaze. “I’m still here.” His jaw clenched, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he leaned d

    Kaida’s POV The sun cast long shadows across the courtyard as the news of the rogue camp settled over Shadowcrest like a dark cloud. The air felt **thicker**, every breath weighted with the knowledge that our **peace was temporary. Atlas’s fingers remained wrapped around mine, his grip firm as if he feared I might disappear if he let go. I had spared Akira. Now she was waiting—building something in the shadows. I wanted to believe that mercy had been the right choice. But mercy didn’t stop a blade from finding your heart. I stood beside Axel and Atlas in the war room, the map of our borders spread across the table. Small black markers dotted the northern ridge—**rogue sightings reported by scouts.** “She's gathering more wolves,” Axel murmured, his blue eyes sharp. “It’s only a matter of time before she attacks.” Atlas’s jaw clenched beside me, his golden eyes never leaving the map. “She’s testing us,” he said coldly. “Waiting to see if we’ll come for her… or let her
