VALERIA’S POV

Once they were gone, an eerie silence settled between us. Magnar didn’t move, didn’t speak. He just stood there, watching me with an expression I couldn’t quite read.

I crossed my arms, raising an eyebrow. “What? No ‘you should have let them hit you’ speech?”

He let out a low, humorless chuckle. “No. I think you handled yourself just fine.”

I narrowed my eyes, suspicious. Magnar never said anything without a reason. “Then why are you still here?”

He exhaled, running a hand through his hair. “I saw you leaving Dimitri’s office earlier. I overheard some things.” His gaze locked onto mine, intense and unreadable. “We need to talk.”

Something about the way he said it made my pulse quicken. Magnar always had an agenda. I wasn’t sure I wanted to hear whatever this was.

“No, we don’t,” I said firmly, turning to leave.

“Valeria, wait,” he called after me, but I didn’t stop. I didn’t want to. Did he really think everything was normal now? That we could just talk like none of this

    VALERIA’S POV"I need to make my wrongs right."Magnar’s words echoed in my mind, looping like a cursed melody I couldn’t shut off.Did he think a simple declaration of guilt would make up for everything? That a few whispered truths could erase years of torment?His father had played with my life for years. Now, Magnar was trying to do the same. The only difference was, this time, I wouldn’t be their pawn.Why should I even trust him? Why should I believe that all of a sudden both of them grew conscience? I know that Magnar’s weakness is his father, he cannot go against him and he is trying to be responsible to gain the Alpha position.If he wants to help me he will have to go against his own father. But his words were not a complete lie, so its hard completely disregard them.I needed a plan.And I needed Elijah.Elijah was the only person I trusted with every fiber of my being. If anyone could give me an outside perspective—someone who wasn’t tangled in the web of Dimitri and Magnar

    VALERIA’S POVBy the time I reached the pack, the sky was shifting from deep indigo to the soft hues of dawn. The journey had been long, my muscles ached from running, and exhaustion clung to me like a second skin. But despite the weariness weighing me down, there was something else—something lighter, something I hadn’t felt in a long time.Relief.Not just because I had managed to sneak out undetected. Not just because I had made it back safely.It was because of him.Elijah.I collapsed onto the makeshift bed in the small cabin I had been given, exhaling a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. My body begged for sleep, but my mind was still tangled in the conversation we’d had hours ago. His words echoed in my head, his warning laced with the unshakable protectiveness that had always been so him.You can’t trust them.He was right. I knew he was right. And yet, my thoughts kept drifting to something else entirely.The way his voice had softened ever so slightly when he saw me at h

  • THE LUNA'S ECLIPSE   Chapter 74 FIGHT WORTH WATCHING

    The young warrior stepped into the sparring circle, rolling his shoulders as he took his stance. He was confident—eager, even. Maybe he thought I’d be an easy opponent. Maybe he believed the whispers that I was weak, untrained.I studied him for a moment, tilting my head slightly. He was fast, I could tell. A quick, agile fighter who relied more on speed than brute force. But that was fine. Speed was something I could counter.“Ready?” he asked, shifting his stance.I didn’t answer. I simply raised my hands, signaling I was prepared.He lunged.Fast. But not fast enough.I sidestepped his attack effortlessly, my movements fluid. He barely had time to react before I pivoted, sweeping his legs out from under him. He hit the ground hard, a grunt escaping his lips as dust kicked up around him.Murmurs spread through the crowd.He scrambled to his feet quickly, a flicker of determination in his eyes. He wasn’t going to let a single hit take him down. That was good.This time, he moved with

    VALERIA’S POVBernard was fast. Not just fast—his movements were sharp, calculated. He wasn’t like the young warrior I had sparred with earlier or even the bigger one before him. His footwork was refined, his attacks deliberate. He didn’t waste energy on unnecessary movements or reckless swings. He was experienced—one of the lead attackers of this pack—and he fought like it.I wasn’t overconfident. That would be a mistake.But he didn’t underestimate me either, and that made him even more dangerous.His first few strikes landed cleanly. A jab to my side, a quick hook to my shoulder, another grazing my ribs. I took the hits, absorbing the impact, but I didn’t react. I didn’t flinch.Pain was nothing new to me.Elijah had trained me to withstand far worse than this. I had been knocked down, bruised, broken, pushed beyond my limits time and time again. A few well-placed punches weren’t going to shake me.I could tell Bernard was watching me closely, waiting for me to react, to slow down,

    VALERIA’S POV“No more sparring. We’re done for today,” Magnar announced, his voice carrying across the training grounds with finality.A collective breath of relief swept through the warriors, and one by one, they began to disperse. I could see some of them glancing in my direction, a mixture of wariness and newfound respect in their eyes.I mentally rolled my eyes. Of course, he had to put an end to it just when things were getting interesting. I turned on my heel, ready to leave, but before I could take more than a few steps, I felt a hand wrap around my wrist—firm, but not forceful.Magnar.“How did you do that?” he asked, his tone unreadable.I arched a brow, shaking off his grip. “Do what?”“How did you take them down?” he repeated, his brows drawing together as he studied me. “You’re not trained.”That made me stop.I turned fully to face him, crossing my arms. “Really? You think we need training to fight?”“Of course,” he answered immediately. “Fighting takes skill, technique.

    VALERIA’S POV“I’ve called someone to help you with your abilities,” Dimitri said, his voice calm yet firm.I raised an eyebrow, suspicion instantly creeping into my chest. Before I could question him, the doors to the private training space opened, and a woman stepped inside.She looked to be in her mid-forties, with long, silver-streaked dark hair braided neatly down her back. There was something otherworldly about her—something that set my senses on edge the moment she entered. She wasn’t a werewolf. That much was clear.Her scent was different. Not the earthy, wild aroma of wolves but something older, something steeped in magic and secrets.Dimitri turned to me. “Valeria, this is Yuvonne. She’s a practicing witch—one of the best. I’ve hired her to help you control your powers.”I narrowed my eyes, my entire body tensing at his words.A witch?I didn’t like this. I didn’t like that he had brought someone in without so much as mentioning it to me first. I didn’t like that he assumed

    VALERIA’S POVThe next morning, the scent of roasted meat and freshly baked bread filled the air as I sat across from Yuvonne at the long wooden dining table in the pack’s main hall. Despite my initial hesitation, I had to admit she wasn’t terrible company. She was quiet when needed, direct when she spoke, and didn’t waste time on meaningless chatter.But that didn’t mean I trusted her.I still hadn’t forgotten how Dimitri brought her here without consulting me. If she had convinced him that I needed her, then she was already playing her cards well. I wasn’t naive enough to believe she had no personal stakes in this.I stabbed a piece of fruit with my fork and took a bite, my gaze never leaving hers. “So,” I said, swallowing. “If you have no real idea what you’re dealing with, how exactly do you plan on helping me?”Yuvonne, already sipping her tea, arched a brow at me over the rim of her cup. She set it down calmly before answering. “Witches like to record things,” she said. “Especia

    VALERIA’S POVThe next morning, training began.Yuvonne wanted me to start by locating the source of my power, the wellspring from which my strength was drawn. It sounded simple in theory, but the reality was far from it.I sat cross-legged on the cool earth, my hands resting on my knees, my back straight as she had instructed. The morning air was crisp, carrying the scent of damp soil and pine. It should have been calming, but my patience was already wearing thin.“Close your eyes,” Yuvonne ordered, her voice steady but firm.I did as she asked, inhaling deeply, trying to settle into this so-called meditation.“Now, I need you to disconnect from everything around you,” she continued. “The wind, the noises, even my voice. Your body is here, but your mind must go inward.”Easier said than done.I could still hear the rustling of the trees, the distant chatter of warriors training in another part of the camp, the rhythmic tapping of Yuvonne’s nails against the hilt of her dagger. My sen

    VALERIA’S POVRiven left, but I stayed.Her words echoed in my mind, a quiet reminder of the truth I needed to accept.I need to change the way I think.All of this was meant to be.Dimitri’s death. The battle. The bloodshed.I had to take revenge. It was supposed to happen one way or another.I couldn’t blame myself—not anymore.But I couldn’t stay here either.This place, these walls, this land—they would always remind me of what happened.Still, I couldn’t just walk away without a final goodbye.I had to make things right. I had to set everything straight.________________________________________By the time I returned to the pack, the battlefield was nearly cleared.The royal traitors had been dealt with.The Alphas who had dared to cross Riven were handcuffed in silver and being loaded into vans. I had no doubt she would deal with them personally.I walked toward the packhouse, my heart steady but my mind restless.I wasn’t sure what I expected, but when I stepped inside, I was m

    VALERIA’S POVDimitri was dead.His lifeless body lay still, surrounded by the very people he had tormented and betrayed.And yet—I didn’t feel victorious.I didn’t feel like a hero.Instead, a sharp, twisting knot of dread and guilt settled deep inside me, like a festering wound that refused to heal.I should have felt relief. Peace.But all I felt was…Empty.A murderer.I had taken a life.Yes, it was justified. Yes, it was necessary. Yes, he deserved it.But that didn’t make it any easier.My gaze flickered toward Magnar. His lips were pressed together in a firm line, his golden eyes locked onto Dimitri’s body. I saw the shine of unshed tears, the war between grief and justice playing out in real time.I turned away.I couldn’t look at him.I couldn’t look at any of them.The weight of their stares, their unspoken expectations, was suffocating me.The world blurred as my breathing grew shallow. My heartbeat pounded against my ribs. I had to get out of here.I took a step back—then

    VALERIA’S POVThe battlefield was silent.Not because the war was over—But because they were waiting.Waiting for me to finish what Dimitri started.I stared down at him, breathing heavily, my heart hammering in my chest.Riven’s voice sliced through the silence, low and certain.“Don’t show any mercy this time, Valeria. Your friends are safe—he has nothing against you now.”And just like that—My hesitation disappeared.The weight I had been carrying, the fear, the second-guessing—it all vanished.I turned my head slightly, catching sight of Magnar.He stood there, his arms tense at his sides, his jaw locked.His expression was unreadable, but his eyes…They were conflicted.He may have accepted this fate, may have severed the final tie with the man who raised him, but I knew—watching this wouldn’t be easy for him.I exhaled slowly and met his gaze.“You should look away,” I told him. “This is going to be painful for you to watch.”But he didn’t move.Didn’t blink.Didn’t turn away.

    VALERIA’S POVI had never seen a vampire in my life.Not in person.Not until now.And suddenly, we were surrounded by them.Their presence was undeniable—an eerie, otherworldly force that sent shivers down my spine. Their sharp features, their glowing red eyes, the way they moved so effortlessly, like shadows given form.Riven is associated with vampires?Wow.I had heard whispers about her, of course. Rumors that she had ties beyond the werewolf realm. That she had even visited the fae kingdom.I never believed it.But now?Nothing seemed impossible when it came to Riven.And honestly… good for her.If anyone could command respect across different species, it was the woman standing before us with that annoyingly confident smirk.Dimitri, however, didn’t share my thoughts.His face twisted in pure rage, his lips pulling back over his teeth as he snarled at the newcomers.“Vampires are abominations! They are not allowed on my land! This is exactly why you should never have been queen,

    VALERIA’S POV“No—”I lunged forward, my heart slamming against my ribs like a war drum.But I was too late.Dimitri’s fingers slammed down on the button, his smirk widening as if he had already won.For a split second, my world froze.I braced myself, every muscle in my body tightening. I knew what was coming—poison.A gas so lethal it would seep into the lungs of everyone around us, burning them from the inside, turning them into lifeless corpses before they could even scream.The end.I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the sting, the suffocating burn, the chaos—But…Nothing happened.I snapped my eyes open, my breath catching in confusion.The arena was still there. The ground hadn’t turned into a graveyard.The warriors, the royals, everyone was still standing.For a moment, even Dimitri looked stunned.His hand trembled over the button, his eyes darting wildly across the battlefield as if expecting bodies to drop at any second.Nothing.No poison.No death.No victory for him.

  • THE LUNA'S ECLIPSE   Chapter 146 DIMITRI'S FALL

    VALERIA’S POVThe battlefield still burned with chaos, but in this moment, my world narrowed down to only three people—Dimitri, Riven, and myself.Dimitri stood a few feet away, blood dripping from his nose, his fury barely contained. He was no longer the composed, manipulative mastermind. No. I had managed to push him into desperation.And Riven?She was watching me intently, her violet eyes sharp as she slowly began to understand what I was about to do.I turned my gaze back to Dimitri and smirked.“You know, Dimitri,” I called out to him, my voice clear over the noise of the battle, “you missed one crucial detail about Moonbound wolves.”Dimitri clenched his jaw. He wasn’t in the mood for games.But Riven, oh, she was.“I would love to know what it is,” she drawled, amusement flickering across her face.“I don’t care,” Dimitri snapped at the same time.I chuckled darkly. “Oh, but you should, Dimitri. You see, you’ve spent so much time obsessing over your revenge, your plans, and co

He crashed hard onto the stone floor below, a thunderous impact shaking the entire arena.Gasps echoed around me.A thick cloud of dust and debris rose from where Dimitri had landed, swirling in the air like a storm brewing around us. The weight of my attack had thrown him back with such force that the ceremonial platform itself trembled from the impact.For a heartbeat, all I could hear was the ringing in my ears and the shallow gasps of those who had witnessed what I had just done.Then, movement.I wasn’t give

    VALERIA’S POVThe moment the signal came, I ran.The battle raged around me, the air thick with the scent of blood, smoke, and something far more sinister—Dimitri’s victory.His forces were overwhelming, tearing through the opposition like a wildfire, precise and merciless. The royals who had sided with him played their part well, cutting down anyone who dared to challenge their authority.This was his battlefield.His game.And I was just a piece he had moved into place.By the time I reached the throne, I expected to see panic, desperation—fear.But Riven sat there calmly, her posture regal, her gaze surveying the chaos below with a detached sort of curiosity.As if she were merely watching a performance rather than witnessing the fall of her kingdom.“So, you’re here to kill me.” She stated with a sigh.She didn’t sound afraid.Not even surprised.I faltered for a moment. She knew?“You knew?” I asked, disbelief coating my voice.She turned her head slightly, her golden eyes meetin

Then, without missing a beat, she turned her attention back to the gathered audience.She took a single step forward, commanding absolute silence.“As the reigning Queen, I declare the trials complete,” her voice rang out, powerful and unshaken. “Magnar has proven himself worthy through strength, strategy, and wisdom. He has shown that he is capable of leading not only his pack but making the hard choices necessary for the greater good.”The crowd erupted in cheers.Pride swelled in my chest, but a weight still pressed against me. Something wasn’t right. I could still feel Valeria’s gaze, though I couldn’t find her in the sea of people.Queen Riven turned to face me once more.“I ho
