Rune.

Caden’s words pierced my heart like a thousand silver daggers dipped in wolfsbane into every part of my body. The cut sliced deep, nearly drawing tears right there where I stood with my lips parted.

“He’s kidding!” Zarah tried to assure me, but the longer I stood there watching him watch me without a trace of humor on his face, I knew he was not.

“What do you mean? What did I do to the goddess?” I had been good since the day it was revealed that I was Kane’s mate, so how could I have sinned so greatly that it cost me my womb?

“I am merely a messenger,” Caden pressed his lips together, then he plastered a smile on his face as though he didn’t just give me the most heartbreaking news I’d ever heard.

“It is disheartening to bear such a sad vision on my first night,” Caden placed his hand on his chest with his brows slightly furrowed.

I played with my fingers for lack of a better thing to do—heading up to my room to breathe and calm myself down. I desperately wanted to leave the di

    Rune.I couldn't stay and not do something to at least try to protect myself, but it seemed it was the only option I had left, excluding death. Death wasn’t even an option because I still had my mother, sister and Kimi to live for, and there wolves were facing worse fates than I was, and death wasn’t an option for them. I felt horrible for even thinking about ending my life because I couldn’t have my way. Kane’s request seemed to have come from a place of trust; as if he was asking me to trust him. Honestly, I didn’t want to, but he had saved my life more times than he had threatened it, and it made me think his request was solely for my benefit and not his. Staying still and doing nothing did not include hanging out with the people I cared about. We could still have our breakfast briefings and care for each other—like we’d been doing. Staying still and doing nothing meant I had returned to being a prisoner. I couldn’t have dreams, I couldn’t be selfish, I would never become Luna.

    Rune.Kane heeded the Elder's request to punish the criminal openly, but he didn’t seem too happy about it. His frown had deepened, and his stance was rigid. Something was wrong. “How should we punish him, Alpha?” Rachael’s father creased his brow. “Let’s burn him, Alpha,” Caden appeared from nowhere and said before Kane could respond. Kane scoffed and nodded. “Do what you must,” he told them. I watched as Jett leaned towards him and said something in his ear, and he nodded. “Are they really going to burn him?” I asked Soph, who bit down on her lower lip and nodded.“He’s a criminal,” Soph shrugged, but I couldn’t help but feel like something was off. Kane and Jett’s attitudes were off, Soph’s replies too were off, but I couldn’t ask her about anything yet. I made a mental note to find a way to make Soph tell me what was really going on. Guards stepped forward with jerrycans of petrol and poured it on the wolf who, up until that moment, hadn’t said anything.“Look at how quick t

    Rune. Kane assigned more guards to the pack house following the incident that happened two days ago. I did not dare to step out of the pack house in those two days. I didn’t even go near the door for fear that wolves would attack me and tie me to a pole at the field and set me ablaze. Kane must’ve thought of the possibility of that happening to assign the guards to the house.Knowing that there was an active plan to kill me felt surreal. It made me think back to all the times I nearly lost my life.The first time was right under this roof, where an omega almost succeeded in using wolfsbane to kill me. That incident was at the forefront of my mind, and a chill would run down my spine whenever I remembered it. The pain I felt that day was unmatched by the other times I almost died.I could hardly believe that someone or a group of wolves were planning and trying to end my life for simply existing. At first, I thought it was because they found out I was the Alpha’s mate, and they could

    Rune.I pressed my lips together at the suggestion the Elder made. A few Elders nodded in agreement. “That oldie is getting on my nerves. Let’s rip his mouth off,” Zarah yelled, and I shut her out immediately to avoid distraction.“Rejection?” Kane scoffed, “Is that the only option? Rejection?” I turned to him slightly in time to see the edge of his lips tug up in a bitter smirk.“Alpha,” a middle-aged-looking female dragged. Kane directed his gaze at her.“The topic is still open for discussion,” she continued.“Why wouldn’t it be?” Soph frowned. Her reply earned her a snicker from the Elder.“As River said, we are merely worried about the future of the pack, and as such, this matter should be discussed with caution,” Greg’s voice stopped the heated eye contact exchange between Soph and the female Elder.“And as such, I apologize on his behalf for bringing rejection so blatantly. The Goddess chose Rune Leeder at the Elect ritual, so we cannot do away with her so easily,” Grey’s blue

    Kane. I didn’t notice the exact moment Rune left her room, but the moment her scent became faint, I knew something was wrong. I never moved so fast, rushing out of my room to hers to check if she was there and why her scent became faint. To my horror, she wasn’t. My heart dropped. Quite frankly, I never cared much about where she went or didn’t go; as long as she didn’t leave the territory, I didn’t mind, but tonight was different because not only was it late at night, but also because I just found out she was a target of the wicked plan against my pack. “Where are you, Tiny?” I tried asking using mind link, but my voice bounced back. Alarms went off in my head, and I dashed out of her room, using her scent as a guide. “I hope she wandered out alone, and this is not a case of kidnap because I will tear off the limbs of every filthy thing that touched her,” Ky growled. I found myself nodding in agreement, not because I cared for her, but because harming her meant my subjects had no

    Rune. The following days were hell for me. I had no motivation to do anything, I barely had an appetite, and leaving my room did not appeal to me. However, I forced myself out of my room and swallowed every food Marian served me to feel a semblance of normalcy, but it seemed impossible. Everything I did to feel better was simply a reminder that I was in danger and anything could happen to me at any time. Soph and Kimi were quick to catch on because, according to them, I did a horrible job of hiding my worries. The only good thing that came from my constant sulking was Soph feeling bad for me and promising to break down the parables she’d been speaking in for weeks, despite Kane’s strict orders for her not to. All I had to do was seal my lips and pretend I knew nothing. “Alpha suspects a group of prominent families are up to something sinister,” Soph revealed. My eyes widened in shock. “Prominent families?” I asked, and Soph gave a confirmation nod. “It’s not all of them, though;

    Rune.The four days without Kane let me in on a very shocking revelation. The one thing I tried my hardest to avoid finally happened, and I couldn’t move on from it.I unintentionally developed feelings for Kane outside the bond we shared. The realization struck me on the day he left while I hugged myself to sleep, missing the scent of him that lingered in the air whenever he was close. I quickly banished the thought. I tagged it as a negative reaction to his absence, as it didn’t seem likely that I had developed feelings for him out of the blue. However, I couldn’t deny the evidence any longer. My mind was stuck on the last encounter we had, the way his grey eyes stared deeply into mine with a spark of undefinable emotion in them, the feel of his rough fingers on my face, and the jittery feeling it left me with. I couldn’t tell at what point in time I developed feelings for him, but I knew I did, and I couldn’t hide it anymore.I turned in my bed towards a sleeping Kimi, who was sno

    Rune.I blinked my eyes into focus, but I was plagued by darkness. It was only after a few seconds when I felt a certain pressure wrapped around my head that I realized I’d been blindfolded. Adrenaline shot through my system, and I felt a tingling in my chest as panic settled in. My head felt heavy and memories fuzzy, trying to make sense of where I was and why I was in such a state. I tried to lift my hands to pull the fabric used to blindfold me from my eyes, but I realized my hands had been bound so tight the fabric dug into my skin. I let out a shaky breath as a sudden, overwhelming sensation of dread overcame me. I’d been kidnapped, and I was tied and blindfolded. There was only one outcome to it: my kidnappers were going to kill me, and I would die without knowing my crime, without knowing why some wolves thought my life was not worth a thing and why it was so important for me to be removed from the earth. “She’s conscious. Thank fuck!” A familiar voice yawned, and my body

    Rune. I stilled as I watched Kane fall to his knees, covered in his blood and others, and more flashes of my dream engulfed me.But things were supposed to be different. We changed our fate, he was supposed to save me and take me back with him to our territory, so why?I looked up to the sky, and the full moon stared back at me, but the more I stared at it, the more I felt as though it was coming to me. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain all over my body, and cracks as though my bones were breaking. “Zarah! What is happening?” I yelled out, but Zarah remained silent. I didn’t know what was happening until my claws began to lengthen, and white fur emerged from my skin, coating my entire body. “We are shifting,” Zarah finally said, “and I will end this!” She added and I watched as she lunged at Black, growling dangerously at him. “Rune!” He called out, but Zarah wasted no time in biting off one of his limbs, giving him no choice but to shift.

    Rune. Black had arrived shortly after to show me to my room, claiming I’d have more time to talk with my father at dinner because he wanted me to rest since I was pregnant.I didn’t want to leave my father, but I was grateful for the solitude the room provided because I could finally think. I replayed everything my father said to me, picking out the most. My father was innocent, and he knew where my mother and sister were kept, which meant we had to be careful if we didn’t want to be caught. When my father said Black planned to kill him and force me to stay with him, I believed him instantly, because a person who could conceal his real identity to carry out various plans was dangerous and was capable of doing plenty of damage. Before we parted, my father had told me to find a way to contact Kane because he was the only one who could save us, but I doubted I had such skill. I had never initiated a mind link with Kane when we were in the same territory, talk more of doing so while

    Rune. Black had suggested we visit my father, claiming that it would help me make a better decision; the decision to go to him. I was so confused, and numb that I couldn’t even cry or scream, instead, I sat stiffly on Black’s back, laying out my thoughts and thinking about what my next course of action would be. It was then I recalled my dream. My dream had some truths to it, like how I’d seen my father with Black, and some Elders, while the entire Shadow Moon pack was wiped away. “I know you’ve missed your father, so I knew this would warm your heart,” I heard Black say, but I was not bothered by him. I didn’t know what was happening, but I knew I couldn’t do anything until I heard all the sides of the story, the most important side being my father’s.Black ran for a while and stopped at the border of territory nearly thirty minutes later. My brows knitted in confusion as I recalled that the nearest pack to Shadow Moon pack was Pearl Crest, and if I was right then that meant Bla

    Rune. I woke to the gentle warmth of sunlight filtering through the small window of the cabin. Blinking away sleep, I stretched and sat up, realizing I was still in Black's cabin. The events of last night came rushing back to me—the unexpected reunion with Black, the cozy cabin, the little talk we had. However, when I noticed the sun shining brightly, I realized I had slept in and Black did not bother to wake me.Frowning, I slipped out of bed and padded to the door, intending to find Black and ask him to let me leave. To my surprise, he was nowhere to be found. A sense of unease settled in my chest as I searched the cabin, finding only silence and emptiness.Resigned, I located a pen and paper on a nearby table and hastily scribbled a note:Black,I appreciate your hospitality, if you’re reading this it means I’ve gone. I’ll see you some other time.Rune.I folded the note and placed it on the kitchen counter, intending to leave immediately. But as I approached the door, I realized

    Kane. The night air was thick with tension as I returned to Shadow Moon Pack after my secret mission. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a pale silver glow over the familiar grounds that now felt haunted by the feeling that something was wrong, but I deduced that it was my finding that made me feel that way. My mind raced with the revelations from my short trip to Pearl Crest, where I found they were the ones behind the charms and wolfsbane plaguing my territory. On my way home, I had made plans of what I would do and how to go about ending that pack and everyone in it for good, but upon entering the pack house, I found Soph, Jett, and Kimi gathered in the living room, their expressions somber and troubled. My eyes swept over them, dread pooling in my stomach. “What is going on?” I demanded, my voice low and urgent.No one spoke for a tense moment, their silence deafening. "Where is Rune?" I repeated, my voice rising with each word.Jett shifted uncomfortably, avoiding my gaze

    Rune. “Black?”The cool evening air whispered through the dense trees as I stared at Black, my senses on high alert. Scanty rays of sunlight filtered through the branches, casting shadows on the forest floor. It was unusual to find anyone out here, let alone Black. He stood before me, tall and imposing, a smile in his eyes. "What are you doing here?"His smile widened, his eyes a mixture of relief and uncertainty. "I wanted to see you, Rune. I... I wasn't sure how, but then you appeared, as though the goddess herself guided you to me.""In Shadow Moon territory?" I raised an eyebrow, eyeing him warily.He nodded solemnly. "Yes. I had to see you."“What are you doing here though?” he asked, his eyes traveling up and down my body. I shifted uncomfortably in my tank top and black shorts. I ran out of the pack house without thinking and ended up leaving in such little clothing."I... I came out for some air," I stammered, feeling foolish.His gaze lingered on me, his expression unreada

    Rune. A sigh escaped my lips when I no longer felt Kane’s presence in the pack; a dreadful feeling of emptiness settled in immediately, as though it was waiting for his departure. However, I had to wipe the sadness from my face when I headed downstairs nearly two hours later, taking note of the omega’s cleaning the pack house instead. Kane was away on a mission and I had a mission of my own; to track down the wolf sending those notes to me, and to make sure no one could tell Kane was gone.“Good morning,” An Omega greeted, making her way up the stairs.“Are you going up to clean my room?” I asked her, and she turned, long black hair swaying behind her before she nodded.“Don’t bother. Alpha is still sleeping,” I told her, pulling off the best nonchalant attitude I could muster so she wouldn’t suspect me, and thankfully she didn’t.Everything was going well, and no one came to ask if they could clean the room again, but it seemed our luck ran out when a group of elders came to seek K

    Kane. “I hate to say it but her dreams bother me,” I said with a deep breath, “Especially when it shouldn’t,” I added, running my fingers through my hair.“Does it bother you because you think it could happen or because she’s the one who had those dreams?” Jett asked with a raised brow, and I frowned at him. We were lodged in his house, an hour after I had put my mate to bed. He had opted to drink, but I was more worried about the pack and Rune’s dream to indulge him, and now he was just trying to get on my nerves.“Are you crazy?” “Not quite,” he replied with a little laugh and I shook my head before I turned serious.“On a more serious note, I think I’ll have to visit the Fay soon, to hear more about this dream my mate had. I think we’re missing something very important here,” A sigh escaped my lips at the same time Jett nodded, taking a sip out of his alcohol right after.“If you’re making plans to see her, then that means you accept her? I thought you’d turn to your precious pri

    Rune. “Talk to me,” Kane inched closer, staring intently at me. “I don’t know how accurate I am, or if this will mean anything to you, but I had a bad dream that the pack was set on fire, and a lot of wolves died.”My words were met with silence and Kane’s head hung low.“Did you hear me?” I tilted my head to search his face. “Fire you say?”I nodded. “I’m sure Soph has told you about the charms we found in the pack?” I nodded, patiently waiting for him to explain to me the relationship between the two things. “I’m forced to believe there’s a new pack targeting us, and they work closely with witches.”The seriousness of his words settled in and I found myself sitting up straight, my hands in his.“But what do you believe?”“I believe Pearlcrest is behind it. I mean it makes no sense that it’s a new pack because all the leads are somehow connected to Pearlcrest but yet, I’m being told something entirely different.”“Soph told me they are the ones with sightings of more charms?”H
