Seraphina’s POV

I had always known this day would come.

No secret stays buried forever.

Rex was supposed to disappear. That had been the plan. The necessary sacrifice.

I had done what had to be done for Crescent Moon, for Atlas, for the future of this pack.

Because I had seen it even then—the danger in Rex’s eyes, the defiance in his spirit. He was weak. A boy too soft for power yet too stubborn to break.

So I had removed him.

And now, he had returned.

Not as a lost heir, but as a king.

A king who could expose me.

And I would rather burn the world to the ground than let that happen.

I moved through the halls of Crescent Moon’s packhouse, my cane tapping against the polished wood floors. Warriors and Omegas bowed as I passed, their gazes lowered, their voices hushed.

They feared me.

As they should.

I had ruled from the shadows long before Atlas became Alpha, and I would continue to do so long after this mess was cleaned up.

I reached the war room, where a select few of

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 89

    Atlas’s POV Rex had haunted my thoughts for days. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw **flashes of memories I had long buried.** The scent of pine as we ran through the Crescent Moon forest as pups. The way our father had smiled at us—**at both of us.** The warmth of a bond that had once existed, severed before it had the chance to grow. I had spent my whole life believing my brother was dead. I had mourned him. I had moved forward without him. But now… now he was out there. Alive. And I wanted—**no, needed**—to see him. I needed to understand. What had happened to him? Why had he been taken? And most of all—why did he look at me like I was **his enemy?** I couldn’t stop thinking about the way his golden eyes had **hardened** when he saw me. Not with the recognition of a lost brother. But with the **calculating coldness of a man who had long abandoned the idea of family.** And that… That hurt more than I wanted to admit. I st

    Rex’s POVAtlas had sent a letter.I stared at the parchment on my desk, untouched, unread, yet somehow infuriatingly loud.It was strange—how something so small could ignite a fire in my chest, a mixture of rage and something I refused to name.I should have ignored it.Should have burned it.But instead, I had spent the last hour just staring at it.As if it held the answers to the questions I had stopped asking years ago.Why didn’t they come for me? Why was I left behind? Why did Atlas get to live the life that was stolen from me?And most of all—Why was he reaching out now?The room was dimly lit, the flickering candlelight casting long shadows against the stone walls.Shadowcrest had become my home, my fortress. I had built it from the ashes of my suffering, forged it into something indestructible.I took it from the pack forcefully from a traitor who betrayed Alpha Thor,kaida’s father.And yet, no matter how high I built my walls, no matter how much power I gained, there was

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   chapter 91

    Atlas’s POVThe air between us was thick with silence.I had imagined this meeting a thousand times.In my mind, I had pictured Rex angry, demanding answers. I had prepared for him to blame me, to scream, to tell me I wasn’t his brother anymore.I had prepared for hatred.But I hadn’t prepared for this.For the way he stood there, calm, calculating.For the way he refused to feel anything at all.He wasn’t angry.He was cold.And that scared me more than anything.“You haven’t answered me,” I said, my voice quiet.Rex tilted his head slightly. “What was the question again?”His lack of emotion twisted something inside my chest.I swallowed hard. “Do you hate me?”He exhaled slowly, as if the question bored him. “Would it matter if I did?”The words hit harder than they should have.“Yes,” I admitted. “It would.”Because no matter what had happened…No matter how much time had passed…He was still my brother.And I wasn’t ready to accept that I had already lost him.I took a slow step

    Rex’s POVAlpha Rex the old woman is making a move, she took advantage of your brother’s absence in the pack and mobilized his warriors who are loyal to her. I always knew Seraphina would come for me. She will try her dirty tricks again. She had **tried to erase me once before**—a shadow in the dark, a whisper of death sent to silence me before I could rise. The only difference is that am now matured enough to protect myself from a beast like her. This time, I was ready. And this time, she wouldn’t get another chance. I stood at the edge of my war tent, watching as my warriors prepared. The **Ironfang wolves** had pledged their loyalty to me, and Crescent Moon’s defectors—wolves who had finally seen the truth about Seraphina—had joined our ranks. My brother atlas sent some of his warriors to monitor seraphina’s movement ahead of time as if he knew she will strike and they are now part of my warriors. His simple gesture touched my heart. She thought she could take me down.

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 93

    Rex’s POVFor the first time in my adult life, I stood in Crescent Moon territory without a blade drawn, without the weight of war pressing down on my shoulders. Seraphina was **dead.** Her reign of control, of whispers and lies, had **finally ended.** And yet, as I stood beside my brother—the brother I had been raised to hate, to see as my enemy—I felt something I had not expected. **Relief.I had spent so long carrying **anger**, using it to fuel me, to push me forward. But now… There was nothing left to fight. Except, perhaps, for something I had **never let myself hope for.** A **family.** Atlas and I walked side by side toward the packhouse, the silence between us comfortable—no longer heavy with unspoken resentment. I glanced at him, smirking. “So… when do I get to meet your Luna?” Atlas sighed, rubbing his temples as if he already regretted this conversation. “Why do I feel like this is a terrible idea?” I chuckled. “Come on, Atlas. She’s my *sister-in-l

    Rex’s POVWalking through Crescent Moon’s territory felt strange.It was both **familiar** and **foreign**, like the echoes of a past I had long been forced to forget. I passed the old training grounds, where Atlas and I had sparred as pups. The scent of pine and damp earth filled my nostrils, pulling me deeper into lost memories—ones I had buried beneath years of war and vengeance. But before I could sink further into the past, **something changed.** A scent. **Sweet. Addictive. Intoxicating.** My wolf **snapped to attention** so fast it nearly made me stumble. *Mate.* The word slammed through my mind like a bolt of lightning. *Mate. Mate. Let’s go to mate!* A growl rumbled in my chest as my instincts took over, leading me through the winding pathways of the packhouse. The past no longer mattered, all I want is to see her.I followed the scent, my steps quick, urgent. It led me to the grand hall, where a **welcome party** was being arranged. Laughter echoed th

    Piper’s POV I had **imagined** what meeting my mate would be like. I thought it would be **soft. A slow, gradual understanding. A connection that bloomed with time, built on mutual respect. I never imagined being **dragged across the packhouse, locked in a room, and pinned against the wall by a furious Alpha with golden eyes burning into mine.** But here we were, caged in the arms of a dangerous alpha. Rex stood so **close**, his body caging me in, his presence **overwhelming**. He was **power and heat**, his golden gaze **blazing with possessiveness**. "You’re not leaving this room," he said, his voice **low, unyielding**. I stared at him, my heart **pounding against my ribs**. “You’re actually insane.” His attention was only on my lips and wonder if he heard what I said. His lips curled into something **dangerous**. “And you’re actually mine.” I sucked in a sharp breath, my hands **flat against his chest** to push him back. He didn’t move.,Not an inch

    Kaida’s POV As the sky keeps getting darker it felt like **forever, things were peaceful. No wars. No betrayals. No bloodshed. Just **laughter, music, and the promise of a new beginning.** And at the center of it all? **Piper and Rex.** I never thought I’d say this, but… I was **happy for them.** Even though Rex was a possessive, arrogant, hot-headed Alpha who needed serious **social training**, I could tell he **genuinely wanted** to keep Piper by his side. And as much as Piper **pretended to fight it**, I had seen the way she looked at him when she thought no one was watching. As if, despite everything, **she was starting to want him too.** I stood behind Piper in my bedroom, carefully adjusting the fabric of her dress as she stared at herself in the mirror. Her expression was **unreadable**, her hands fidgeting slightly at her sides. "Okay, what’s that face for?" I asked, tilting my head. Piper sighed. "This just feels… weird." I arched a brow.

    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
