Chapter 15: The Cost of Truth

Silas’s POV

The night pressed down on us like a weight, the forest thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. The air had cooled, the soft breeze brushing through the trees, and yet, the lingering heat of our encounter with the rogue still held tight in my chest. It had been a close call—too close. The rogue had nearly gotten what he wanted, but I wasn’t about to let that happen again. Not while Lillias was still standing by my side.

Lillias.

I couldn’t keep my thoughts from drifting back to her, no matter how much I tried to focus on the surroundings. Her presence was like a fire in the cold night, warm and dangerous, pushing me forward and holding me back all at once. The feel of her hand in mine was both a reminder of what I was fighting for and a constant weight on my shoulders, a reminder of how much was at stake.

She was standing a little apart from me now, still gazing into the woods with sharp, calculating eyes. It was clear she wasn’t

    Chapter 16: The Weight of Leadership Lillias’s POV The tension in the pack house was almost suffocating. It was as if the very walls were closing in on me, the weight of the situation pressing against my chest. My father’s unwavering calm was both a comfort and a reminder of the responsibility I carried. Silas’s words had shattered the calm of the night, and now it was time for me to step into the role I had always known was mine to claim, even if I hadn’t been prepared for this moment. Silas stood beside me, his gaze distant but resolute, as he spoke to my father and the pack. I knew he was fighting his own demons—his past, the debts that haunted him, the threat that loomed ever closer. But in this moment, all I could focus on was the overwhelming need to protect everyone. My father’s pack, Silas, and myself—none of us were safe from what was to come. My father had always said that leadership wasn’t just about strength; it was about knowing when to act, when to stand firm, and whe

    Chapter 17: The Weight of Command Alpha Callum’s POV I stood at the edge of the pack house, gazing out into the distance, the wind carrying the scent of pine and earth that always seemed to calm me in times of uncertainty. It wasn’t just the changing of the seasons I was sensing. There was something more, a subtle shift in the air that weighed heavily on my shoulders. Lillias stood at my side, her presence a comfort, yet a reminder of the responsibility I carried. She had always been strong—my pride and joy—but now, with the knowledge of the looming threat upon us, the weight of her future role as Alpha settled even heavier on both of us. I had raised her for this, trained her to be ready. But nothing could have prepared me for the unexpected turn of events that had now brought Silas to our doorstep. I had heard of Silas, of course—everyone had. The stories of the rogue who had once walked in the shadows, a wolf with a reputation for bending the rules and forging dangerous alliance

    Chapter 18: A Time to Prove Silas’s POV I stood in the corner of the pack house’s main hall, watching Alpha Callum and Lillias speak in hushed tones. Their conversation was private, but I didn’t need heightened senses to guess the topic. The weight of Callum’s gaze earlier told me everything I needed to know—I wasn’t trusted. Not fully. Not yet. Rafe prowled in the back of my mind, his energy restless. He hated being questioned. Trust and loyalty weren’t concepts he cared for—he thrived on instinct, strength, and dominance. The notion of having to prove ourselves grated on him, but I knew better. Callum’s suspicion was justified. I wasn’t the kind of man who could walk into a pack and expect blind acceptance, no matter what bond I shared with Lillias. “They’re watching us like predators circling prey,” Rafe growled in my mind, his voice sharp and irritated. “We don’t need their approval. We could lead without it.” “This isn’t about power, Rafe,” I replied silently. “It’s abou

    Chapter 19: The Challenger Garrick’s POV The training field buzzed with the kind of energy that made your muscles tense and your instincts sharp. Pack warriors stood in a wide circle, their voices a low hum of anticipation. I stood in the center, my fists clenched and my weight balanced as I sized up Silas. He didn’t look rattled. If anything, he looked calm—too calm. His eyes, sharp and ice-blue, locked onto me like a predator waiting to strike. He wasn’t one of those wolves who relied on posturing or brute strength to make a statement. His confidence wasn’t loud—it was deadly quiet. I rolled my shoulders, the tension in the air making my wolf, Bronn, restless. “Watch him,” Bronn growled in my mind. “He’s quick. Calculated. He’s not here to lose.” “Neither am I,” I shot back, narrowing my focus as Kai gave the signal. “Begin!” I moved first, launching forward with a powerful right hook aimed for his ribs. My size had always been my advantage—bigger, stronger, and harder to take

    Chapter 20: The Awakening Lillias’s POV The morning light streamed into the training room, illuminating the polished wood floor and casting faint shadows along the walls. I stood in the center, my breaths shallow, my pulse pounding. My mind raced as I tried to process the strange, electric energy coursing through me. It wasn’t just adrenaline or the usual rush of training. It was deeper, heavier. A power that seemed to radiate outward, pressing against the space around me. At first, I thought it was just me feeling it. The heat, the weight, the way it made my skin prickle and my heart pound. But then Scarlett’s voice filled my mind, calm and certain. “Your aura is waking, Lillias,” she said. “This is what it means to be an Alpha.” The word hit me like a shockwave. My father was the Alpha, the pack leader, the one everyone looked to for strength and guidance. I had always been proud of him, but I never imagined that I would carry the same kind of power. Yet here it was, undeniabl

    Chapter 21: The Discussion Alpha Callum’s POV The council room was silent, save for the faint creak of wood as I leaned back in my chair. The table before me was scattered with maps and reports, but my focus was elsewhere. My daughter, Lillias, was awakening to a power she had been destined for—a power she didn’t yet fully understand. Lain and Kai had reported what they’d felt earlier, the overwhelming presence of her Alpha aura. It was no surprise to me, but hearing them speak of it so vividly reminded me of what she truly was. Not just my daughter. Not just a princess. But part of a legacy that went far beyond this pack. Her blood carried the essence of the Moon Goddess herself. The thought filled me with equal parts pride and trepidation. Being born from the bloodline of the Moon Goddess was both a blessing and a burden. It marked her as extraordinary, but it also meant her path would be fraught with challenges only she could bear. The door creaked open, pulling me from my tho

    Chapter 21 (Continued): The Moon’s Visit Alpha Callum’s POV The council room emptied as Silas departed, his footsteps echoing down the hall. I remained seated, my thoughts heavy with everything we’d discussed. Lillias’s awakening aura, her connection to the Moon Goddess, the delay of the mating ritual—each decision weighed heavily on me. Yet as I sat there, I felt something shift in the air. The room grew colder, but not uncomfortably so. The faintest shimmer of silver light danced across the walls, and an otherworldly calm settled over me. I stood slowly, my heart hammering in my chest, though I wasn’t afraid. No, this feeling wasn’t fear. It was reverence. A soft, melodic voice filled the room, as if carried on the wind. “Alpha Callum,” the voice said, gentle yet commanding. I turned to see her—her. The Moon Goddess herself stood before me, her presence radiating an aura of pure, serene power. Her hair cascaded down her back like liquid moonlight, and her eyes glowed with the

    Chapter 22: Unseen Shadows Lillias’ POV The air was thick with tension, heavier than the usual weight of everyday life in the pack house. Ever since the Moon Goddess had spoken to my father, things had felt… different. It was like the earth itself was holding its breath, waiting for something. For me, perhaps. I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my room, staring at my reflection. My pale skin seemed even more translucent under the dim light of the room. My purple eyes, deep and unsettling, stared back at me. There was something powerful within me, I could feel it now. It thrummed beneath the surface, always there, just waiting for me to embrace it fully. The door creaked open, and Scarlett’s voice echoed in my mind. Lillias, you’re not alone in this. I sighed, running a hand through my long hair. The weight of Scarlett’s presence was always comforting, though she was silent for a while, as if she, too, was coming to terms with everything that had changed. How are

The air was thick with the metallic tang of death, a scent I would never forget.The rogues were gone—those who hadn’t fallen had fled into the night, but victory brought no relief. My body ached with exhaustion, and my mind felt numb as I surveyed the aftermath. Warriors moved among the dead and wounded, some helping comrades to their feet, others retrieving the fallen.And then there was him.My father.He lay where he had fallen, his strong, proud body now still, lifeless.

My pack was scattered around me, fighting with every ounce of strength they had left. The rogues were relentless, overwhelming in their numbers, and despite our best efforts, we were losing ground. The chaos of battle swirled around me—shouting warriors, the clash of metal, and the earth beneath me shaking with each strike. My wolves—my pack—had fought valiantly, and I had led them with all my strength. But now, I was failing. My vision blurred, and I staggered, feeling the burn of exhaustion creeping through me. A rogue Alpha’s blade had found its mark, and blood poured from the wound in my side, the world around me spinning. I collapsed to my knees, the ground hard beneath me. My strength was waning, and with it, my grip on reality. I could feel my body growing cold, each breath more labored than th

The scent of blood hung thick in the air, mingling with the burnt earth and the faint traces of smoke still curling up from the remnants of destroyed homes. Victory had come at a great cost.The rogue Alpha, once so powerful and defiant, lay crumpled at my feet, his body broken and lifeless. His pack was scattered, decimated by the ferocity of our fight. The moment the last of them had fallen, the battlefield shifted into a painful quiet. Wolves on both sides were either dead or wounded, and now, we were left to pick up the pieces.I stood over the rogue Alpha, my claws still extended, my breath coming in short, sharp gasps. There was power in me—more than I had ever imagined—but the victory felt empty. My pack, the wolves who had followed me into battle,

The ground beneath my feet shook with the pounding of paws, the deafening growls of wolves, and the harsh crack of claws against bone. The rogue pack had descended like a storm, surging into our territory, attacking with an intensity I hadn’t anticipated. The sky above was a faint silvery blue, but the moon, high and full, cast its eerie light over the chaos below, reflecting off the blood that pooled in the dirt. I wasn’t yet Alpha. That responsibility still lay with my father, Alpha Callum. But tonight, the weight of that mantle pressed down on me, the gravity of it palpable in every breath I took. The warriors fought valiantly, but I could see the strain in their eyes. They were tired—exhausted from hours of battle—and the rogues just kept coming, relentless in their pursuit.

    Chapter 26: Clash of the Wolves Lillias’ POV The chaos erupted in a heartbeat. The stillness of the forest was shattered by the sound of snapping branches and howls that filled the air like thunder. My heart pounded in my chest as Scarlett surged forward, her powerful instincts pulling me into motion. My muscles screamed as they shifted, but I held steady, the weight of my role as Alpha pressing firmly on my shoulders. We had been waiting for this moment, but nothing could have truly prepared me for the intensity of the battle that had just begun. I could hear the rogues crashing through the woods, their steps quick and frantic, as though they, too, could feel the storm building. The first of them emerged into the clearing, their eyes glowing with predatory hunger. Their disheveled, filthy fur and twisted snarls were a stark contrast to the controlled, deadly presence of our pack. They were a wild, unrelenting force, driven only by the thirst for destruction. Silas was already the

I stood at the edge of the pack grounds, my eyes scanning the distance. The stillness of the woods seemed unnatural, too quiet, as though the earth itself was waiting for something terrible to unfold. My senses were sharp, heightened by the power of the Alpha aura pulsing inside me. Scarlett, my wolf, paced restlessly within, her growls a low hum of anticipation. She could feel it too—something was coming, something darker than we had ever faced before. “Lillias.” Silas’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. He was standing behind me, his figure a comforting presence in the midst of the growing storm. His hand, warm and firm, rested on the small of my back as he stepped closer. His scent—wood and earth, comforting and familiar—filled my senses, calming the tension that had coiled in my chest. “The rogues are closing in,” he murmured, his voice laced with ur

This night would mark the beginning of something that could change the balance of power forever. The rogues, my loyal followers, were eager. They had tasted blood before, and now they were hungry for more.I could sense the unease among my warriors, though. Something had shifted in the wind, and even the most ruthless among them felt the weight of it. It was as though the earth itself was warning us. I shook the thought away. Warnings were for the weak.I stood at the center of the group, my eyes scanning each face—some were hardened, their eyes filled with the scars of battles long past.

It had been a while since I’d felt the pull of this land, but today… today, it was different. There was something in the air, a tremor of power that I couldn’t ignore. The moon was full, its light casting long shadows across the jagged landscape. I stood on a rocky outcrop, watching the distant lights of the pack house flicker like a beacon in the night. Below, my warriors were gathered, their eyes full of anticipation. They had followed me across miles of treacherous land, and now we were on the brink of something monumental. It had taken years to gather them, to cultivate this army—rogues, exiles, the desperate, the broken. But they were strong, unified under my leadership, and they would follow me into battle without question. They were loyal, in their own twisted way.
