His expression darkened, and for a moment, I thought he wouldn’t answer. But then he spoke, his voice quieter now, almost hollow. "More than you might think. I had a family once— a mate, two young pups. They were slaughtered by a rival pack while I was away hunting. By the time I returned..." He trailed off, his jaw tightening. "Darius offered me protection when I had nothing left. It seemed like salvation at the time."The raw honesty in his voice made my chest ache. "What.... made you leave?""Darius isn't what he appears to be," his tone was laced with bitterness. "He preys on broken wolves, promising them belonging while turning them into weapons. When I realized what he and Cassandra were planning..." He shook his head, his hands balling into fists at his sides. "I couldn't be part of another massacre."We continued training in silence after that, but his words lingered in my mind, echoing like a distant drumbeat. I thought of my own pain, how it had hardened me, made me cold. W

ROMAN______I couldn't sleep. The weight of everything—the losses, the betrayals, the constant threat of war—pressed down on my chest like a physical burden. The fortress was quiet at this hour. Most of the pack were asleep, their exhaustion overtaking even their grief, but peace eluded me. So I wandered. My feet carried me to the ancient crypts beneath Shadowfang, the place I always ended up when the world became too heavy. The musty air filled my lungs as I descended the worn stone steps, the faint scent of earth and decay clinging to the darkness. Torchlight flickered against the damp stone walls, casting long, dancing shadows that seemed to mock me with their restless movements. This was where we laid our fallen to rest—the great alphas of Shadowfang, the warriors who had given their lives for the pack, and those we'd loved and lost. Generations of our kind rested here, including my mother. Her stone marker was simple but elegant, just like she had been in life. I ran my fin

My wolf surged to the surface, but I held him back, letting her vent her anger. I grabbed her wrists, not roughly, but firmly enough to stop her from hitting me again. "Make me," I growled, my voice low, a challenge I didn't entirely mean. The air between us crackled with tension, thick and suffocating. Her chest heaved with angry breaths, her heart pounding so loudly I could hear it. We were too close—much too close— but I couldn't make myself let go. "I hate you," she whispered, her voice breaking, but there was no conviction behind her words. "I know." My grip on her wrists loosened, but I didn't release them entirely. "I hate myself too."Something in my admission broke through her fury. Her eyes softened slightly, the fire dimming as she searched my face. "You really do...don't you?""Every fucking day." I admitted, my voice raw. "Every time I see the pain in your eyes, every time I think about Adeline, every time I remember killing my own sister... I hate what being Alpha

MIRABELLE_______I found Fenrir in the training grounds, his massive form easily distinguishable even in the early morning light. The air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of dew and earth, and the sky was painted in muted shades of orange and pink. He was running drills with some of the younger pack members, his gruff voice carrying across the yard as he corrected their stances."No no— your weight is all wrong!" he barked at a lanky teenager whose staff wobbled precariously in his hands. "If an enemy came at you right now, you’d be flat on your ass before you even had time to blink!"The boy flushed but nodded, adjusting his grip as Fenrir stepped forward to demonstrate. Despite his rough edges, Fenrir had a way of commanding respect. The younger wolves hung onto his every word, their movements growing sharper with each correction. It was strange, really, how someone who had once been a rogue could now embody such discipline and leadership.I lingered at the edge of the trainin

He shrugged, but the tension in his shoulders betrayed him. "That's why I joined Darius," he continued, his voice rough. "I was young, angry, needed somewhere to belong. He promised revenge against the pack that killed my family.""Did you get it?" I asked, though a part of me wasn't sure I wanted to know the answer."Yeah." His eyes darkened, the weight of old memories pulling at him. "Slaughtered every last one of them. Didn't make me feel any better though. Just made me more empty inside."I thought about my own burning desire for revenge against Cassandra, the way it consumed me like a fire that refused to be extinguished. "Is that why you left the rogues?" I asked, my voice tentative.Fenrir nodded. "Realized I'd become exactly what I hated. Darius... he doesn't care about justice or protection. He just wants power, and he'll destroy anyone who gets in his way.""Like Roman?" The words slipped out before I could stop them."Roman's different, you and I both know that." Fenrir sa

CASSANDRA________I watched Darius pace before his assembled rogue army in the Bloodsear Highlands. Nearly a thousand wolves had gathered in the fading twilight, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust, their snarls echoing through the valley. The weak fool thought himself impressive, but I could see through his bravado. His every step, every word, was a performance, and the rogues were too drunk on promises of glory to notice. They cheered for their self-proclaimed leader like mindless sheep, but I knew better. All of this— his army, his ambitions, his speeches— they were nothing more than tools. And I intended to wield them."This is what we've been waiting for," Darius announced, his voice booming across the crowd. His tone was laced with the arrogance of a man who thought he was invincible. "Shadowfang will fall, and with it, Roman Blackthorn's reign of tyranny!"I fought the urge to roll my eyes. Darius's speech was as predictable as his ambitions. His dreams of ruling over all the

I followed him to his private tent, acutely aware of the guards flanking us. Their eyes tracked my every movement, their postures rigid and alert. Darius wasn't entirely foolish. He knew better than to trust me completely. Smart man, but not smart enough! Once inside, he turned to face me, his expression hard. "Your enthusiasm seems lacking," he said, his tone accusing. "Having second thoughts about our arrangement?" I laughed, the sound sharp and hollow. "Please. I want Roman dead more than anyone. I just question whether your obsession with fairy tales serves our immediate goals." Darius’s eyes darkened, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. "The Lunar Citadel is real." he insisted like the goddamn fool he was. "Its power is real. And once we claim it—" "If it exists." I cut in, my tone icy. "And if we can find it. Meanwhile, we're wasting resources chasing shadows when we should be focusing on crushing Shadowfang." His jaw tightened, and for a moment, I thought he mi

MIRABELLE_______The weight of my mother's silver necklace felt heavy against my chest as I sat by the crackling fire in the fortress's great hall. Most of the pack had retired for the night, leaving the vast space eerily quiet except for the occasional pop of burning wood. My fingers absently traced the delicate pendant— the last piece of Adeline I had left. The day had been brutal, filled with endless preparations for the inevitable war. My muscles ached from combat training with Fenrir, who had proven to be a ruthless but effective teacher. Every time I closed my eyes, I could still see him throwing me to the ground, barking at me to get up, to be stronger, to be ready. "Your enemies won't wait for you to catch your breath my lady." He'd growled, his massive form looming over me. "Get up. Again." I'd lost count of how many times I'd hit the training mat, each impact leaving new bruises to join the collection already blooming across my skin. But I hadn't complained. Couldn'

The soft ligh of the full moon bathed the gardens in silver light as I stood by the fountain, my fingers trailing through the cool water. six months. Six months had passed since the final battle, since we'd driven Cassandra into exile and brought peace to Shadowfang. Sometimes it still felt surreal, like a dream I might wake from at any moment.I touched the silver necklace at my throat, the one that had belonged to my mother, then Adelne. Though the pain of losing my sister would never fully fade, I'd learned to carry it differently now. The weight of it had transformed from a burden into a reminder of why we fought so hard for peace."There you are." Roman's deep voice came from behind me. Even now, after all these months together, his presence still sent a shiver down my spine.I turned to face him, drinking in the sight of him. He'd foregone his usual battle-ready attire for something softer, a simple black shirt that clung to his muscled chest and dark pants. His dark hair was

"It's beautiful." I breathed, leaning against him as we stood among the moonlit flowers. "Stay with me." Roman said suddenly, turning to face me. His eyes were intense, vulnnerable in a way I rarely saw. "Not as my healer, not because of duty or prophecy. Stay because you want to. Because this— us, it's real." My heart thundered in my chest. "Roman..." "I know I fucked up." he continued, his voice raw with emotion. "I know I hurt you, and I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make that right. But Belle," he cupped my face in his hands, his calloused thumbs gently stroking my cheeks "I can't imagine my life without you in it anymore. These past few days, watching you lie there so still... it nearly broke me." Tears pricked at my eyes as memories flooded back, Adeline's sweet face, the anger and pain that had consumed me after her death, the way I'd lashed out at Roman. But I also remembered his patience, his gradual transformation from the cold Alpha to the man who h

My eyelids felt heavy as consciousness slowly returned, like wading through a. thick fog. The familiar scent of herbs and healing balms filled my nostrils, mixed with something else— something distinctly masculine and comforting that made my heart flutter. Roman. I blinked several times, adjusting to the soft candlelight that illuminated the infirmary. My body ached, but it wasn't the sharp, devastating pain I remembered from channeling my Lunar Soul powers. This was more like the dull throb of healing muscles, a reminder that I was still alive. "Hey there little healer." Roman's deep voice came from beside me, rough with exhaustion but warm with affection. I turned my head to find him sitting in a chair next to my bed, his large hand enveloping mine. Dark circles shadowed his eyes, and his usually neat hair was disheveled as if he'd been running his fingers through it repeatedly. His clothes were wrinkled, suggesting he hadn't changed in days. "You look terrible," I managed to

The sight of him hurt, bloodied and struggling, triggered something deep and primal inside me. Heat surged through my chest, different from the destructive power I had felt earlier. This was something new....something pure. Without thinking, I raised my trembling hands and reached toward him. Light. Bright and blinding. It flowed from my fingertips, enveloping Roman in a golden glow. He froze for a moment, his head snapping toward me in shock, but I couldn't stop. The light wrapped around him, seeping into his body, and as I watched, his wounds began to knit themselves together. The gashes on his face closed, the blood disappearing as if it had never been there. Roman’s eyes blazed with renewed strength, and he let out a roar— half-wolf, half-man— as he turned back to Cassandra. "NO!!!!" Cassandra shrieked, her voice high and panicked. She lunged at me, her movements wild and desperate, but Roman was faster. He intercepted her mid-leap, his massive jaws closing around

MIRABELLE ---------I collapsed to my knees as Lucien's body disintegrated, the power draining from me like blood from a mortal wound. My entire body trembled, my hands shaking violently as I tried to steady them. The taste of copper filled my mouth, sharp and metallic, but satisfaction coursed through my veins like a balm to my soul. Adeline had been avenged.The weight of her death, the endless nights of guilt and grief, lifted from my shoulders— if only slightly.But the cost was high. I could barely breathe, barely think, as the energy I had summoned to end Lucien left me hollow. The wind carried the acrid scent of blood and ash, the battlefield around me littered with bodies of rogues and allies alike. It was chaos, pure and unrelenting, but I couldn’t bring myself to look away from the spot where Lucien had stood moments before. There was nothing left of him now— just ash swirling in the cold air."Belle!"Roman’s voice cut through the din, sharp and commanding, but tinged w

Through the mayhem, I caught glimpses of my pack fighting with everything they had. Elijah, my Beta, was a blur of motion, his massive gray wolf ripping through rogues with deadly precision. Fenrir, the once-mistrusted rogue who'd proven his loyalty time and time again, stood guard over the infirmary entrance where Belle worked. His hulking form was a wall of muscle and fur, and any rogue foolish enough to approach him was quickly dispatched. I spun, dodging the snapping jaws of a rogue before sinking my teeth into his throat. His gurgled scream was cut short as I tore him apart, my wolf howling in triumph. But there was no time to revel in the kill. More were coming. "ROMAN!!" Cassandra's voice cut through the carnage like a blade. I turned, my eyes narrowing as I spotted her atop a pile of bodies, her silver hair matted with blood, her eyes wild with hatred. She was in her human form, her slender frame deceptively fragile-looking as she surveyed the battlefield with a cruel smi

ROMAN-------The stench of blood and ash filled my nostrils as I stood at the fortress gates, watching the horizon darken with approaching rogues. My heart pounded against my chest, not from fear, but from rage. Belle stood beside me, her fingers intertwined with mine, the silver necklace glinting at her throat. That necklace was more than just a keepsake—it was a symbol of everything we'd lost, and everything we were about to protect. "They're coming" I growled, feeling my wolf stir restlessly beneath my skin. My claws itched to emerge, my body vibrating with the need to fight. "At least five hundred of them." Belle squeezed my hand, her grip stronger than I expected. "We're ready." Her voice was steel now, so different from the frightened healer who'd first arrived at Shadowfang. The past months had hardened her, shaped her into something fierce and unstoppable. She wasn’t just a healer anymore—she was a warrior in her own right, though she’d never admit it. I turned to her

His kisses continued downward, his hands sliding over my hips as he hooked his fingers into the waistband of my pants. He paused, looking up at me for permission, and I nodded, lifting my hips to help him pull them off. His eyes burned as they roamed over me, now nearly bare before him."You're perfect," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "Every inch of you."Heat coiled low in my belly as he pressed a kiss to the inside of my thigh, his stubble scraping against my sensitive skin in a way that made me gasp. He kissed his way higher, his hands gently parting my legs, and when his lips brushed against the thin fabric of my underwear, I couldn’t stop the moan that escaped me."Roman..." I whispered, my voice shaky with both nerves and anticipation."I’ve got you," he said softly, his hands stroking my thighs in reassurance. "Just let me take care of you."He pulled my underwear down slowly, his gaze never leaving mine as he bared me completely to him. I felt vulnerable, exposed, bu

MIRABELLE_______I stood at my bedroom window, watching the storm clouds gather overhead. The prophecy echoed in my mind, each word feeling like a physical weight on my chest. My fingers traced Adeline's necklace, remembering her smile, her laugh, her final moments.A knock at my door broke through my thoughts. I knew who it was before he even spoke."Belle" Roman's voice was rough with emotion. "Please let me in."I considered ignoring him, but my feet moved of their own accord. When I opened the door, he looked wrecked. His usually perfect hair was disheveled, like he'd been running his hands through it repeatedly, and his eyes held a desperate intensity that made my heart clench."You can't do this," he said immediately, stepping into my room and closing the door. "I won't let you sacrifice yourself.""It's not your choice to make." I replied softly, turning back to the window. "You heard Kieran. It has to be my decision.""Fuck the prophecy!!" He grabbed my arm, spinning me to f
