The Captive Luna 18.
The cheers and howls of the warriors at the start of the duel drew the attention of the pack members. They rushed to the training grounds to see what was going, soon, the place became crowded as everyone looked forward to seeing who would emerge victorious, although Natalia knew no one was actually rooting for her.Mica stood not far away from her, a smug smile marrying her face as if thinking Roberto, her knight in shining armor had came to avenge her. Olga and Kat came to witness the duel too. Olga knew how strong Natalia was, so she couldn't help the dread she felt as she stared at her confident face. Alessio also came to see what was going on, in the entire crowd, he was the only one worried about Natalia. Vitale wasn't left behind as well, standing in front of the French windows in his office, he watched with mixed emotions, . He still felt betrayed by Natalia, but he also felt curious about her. He wanted to see the outcome of the duel, whether Natalia had become rusty and lo

Back at the training grounds, Alessio saw how she beat Roberto, how she impressed the young wolves, how she challenged the old ones. His heart thumped with pride, this is his mate, his other half. Oh, how perfect could it be to have her as his Luna? But he wasn't the only one that shared that sentiment.Even though Natalia was just a slave to him now, V felt proud at her victory, he would proudly call her his. He saw how she fought Roberto, how she showed her skills, how she proved her worth. She reminded him of the past, the good times, the happy times. And deep down he knew he still cared for her, despite everything that happened.Natalia limped out of the training grounds when the crowd started to disperse, but V ignored her injury and decided to focus on his duty. He had cancelled his plans to watch the match after all. But as he turned around, his eyes caught sight of Alessio rushing to help her, wrapping his arms around her. He felt a surge of possessiveness and jealousy. He di

It was late into the afternoon, Natalia sat on her bed, wondering what Alpha Vitale wanted to see her for. He had sent a messenger earlier, informing her he had a task for her later in the evening. She sighed, laying down to ease her sore muscles. It has been one hectic day but it wasn't bad. The match had managed to clear her mind, and for some reason, she felt closer to finding her kids ever. Natalia closed her eyes and tried to rest for a while before Vitale came to fetch her. She didn't notice the time passing by, or the moon rising in the sky.Until was awoken rudely by Kat, the Luna and Vitale's wife. Kat had stormed into the house fuming after Vitale had literally carried Natalia to the clinic. If things proceed like this, she might as well pack her bags and return to Russia. On her way to their room, she was stopped by a young bruised wolf. It was Mica, the brave girl that challenged Natalia in the morning."Speak, what brought you here." Kat said absentmindedly."I thought y

At the eastern border, Natalia abruptly halted in her steps, her nose twitching as she caught a faint but familiar smell in the air. She turned her head, scanning the horizon for any sign of movement, but there was nothing but trees. Her partner, Lena, who was walking beside her, noticed her sudden change of expression and asked, "What is it? What do you smell?"Natalia didn't answer. She felt a surge of adrenaline and fear in her veins. She recognized the smell of chloroform, a dangerous drug that only meant trouble. She also detected three other scents that she didn't know, nothing good would come out of anything involved with that. The smell led towards the southern border of their pack's territory, where the land was barren and desolate.Without a word, Natalia shifted into her wolf form, a sleek grey creature with amber eyes, and sprinted towards the source of the scent, leaving Lena behind along with her clothes. She had to find out what's going on before it's too late.Lena was

On the outskirts of the forest, Roberto slammed the car door and got behind the wheel, his face tense and angry. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Olga sitting next to him, holding a gun in her lap. In the back seat, Rita and Sam were unconscious, their heads slumped against the windows. And in the middle, Gia was lying on the seat, covered with a blanket. "Damn it, Olga, this is your fault!" Roberto snapped. "You were supposed to be careful, not let that dumb bitch sneak up on us!"Olga rolled her eyes and sighed. "How was I supposed to know she would be there? She popped out of nowhere. Besides, you were the one who shot her. You could have killed her!"Roberto clenched his jaw and gripped the steering wheel. "I had no choice. She saw too much. We had to get out of there fast. And now we have an extra passenger we don't need."Olga shrugged and checked her phone. "Maybe we can use her as leverage. Maddox could use a delta wolf."Roberto snorted and shook his head. "You're d

Instead of going straight to the office, Natalia locked herself in the bathroom, deciding to ger rid of the stickiness on her skin first. She refused to appear weak in front of Vitale or his goons. Turning on the faucet, she splashed cold water on her face, trying to wash off the tomato juice and the dirt from her skin. She grabbed a towel and dried herself, then looked at herself in the mirror.She saw a woman with long red hair and dark green eyes, with a slender and athletic body and a pale and smooth complexion stared back at her. A woman who was beautiful and strong, who had trained hard and fought hard, who had survived and endured.She saw a woman who was hated and rejected, who had been framed and betrayed, who had been hurt and broken.She saw herself.Natalia felt a mix of emotions in her chest. But she clenched her jaw and straightened her posture, trying to look confident and proud as she walked towards the door with a steady pace.Sje arrived at the office not long. The o

He looked at the guards and gave them an order."Bring Lena here. She'll prove you're lying." .The guards nodded and left the room, returning shortly after with Lena in tow.They pushed her towards the table where Natalia was standing and swiftly left, and when Natalia locked eyes with her, she avoided her gaze, looking scared and nervous.Natalia felt a pang of worry and doubt in her stomach.She wondered what Olga had done to Lena like this, what she had promised or threatened her with to make Lena testify against her.Alessio looked at Lena and spoke for the first time ever, his voice gentle and calm. He didn't even bother trying to defend her even once. Natalia felt... betrayed. "Lena, you were on patrol last night with Natalia, right?" He asked."Yes, alpha." Lena nodded, her eyes glued to the floor."Can you tell us what happened during your patrol? Where did you go and what did you see?"Lena hesitated, she glanced at Natalia briefly with a guilty and fearful expression."I'

Vitale watched as Natalia was dragged out from the office in silence. He listened to the council members making up lies on how Natalia had orchested the kidnapping of all the missing omegas all those years in silence. He watched as they pile out of his office one after the other, their faces a mix of smugness and victory. Never had it dawned on Vitale that he was surrounded by traitors until now. All these years, his search for the kidnapper led to a deadend, and he was forced to close the cases as rogue attacks. Little did he know, that it was orchested by his own very pack members.He had seen and heard it all today. Enough to know that they were lying to him. He had seen with Natalia last night, she had also been with him when the last kidnapping happened, so there was no way she could have done it.His eyes moved to Alessio, who seemed deep in thought, he had not said a word to defend his mate of the accusations. That was all he needed to know something was not right. Alessio had

Kat grinned as she looked over her shoulder at the line of omegas trailing behind her, their heads lowered submissively. Ten omegas to bring back to the pack, more than she had hoped for. She would have more than enough to pay Maddox and even request more drugs if the need arises. The forest was quiet as they made their way through the dense trees, the only sounds being the crunch of leaves under their feet and the occasional bird call overhead. Kat's ears swiveled, alert for any signs of danger, but all seemed peaceful.Too peaceful, she realized with a start. The woods were never this quiet unless..."Ambush!" Kat yelled, whirling around, but it was too late. The enemy warriors dropped down from the trees, landing lightly on their feet to surround Kat's small group. She counted at least twelve of them, all heavily armed and staring at her with hatred in their eyes."Well, well," one of them drawled, flipping a knife casually in his hand. "Look what we have here. Poaching our omegas

Vitale crept through the dense forest, ears pricked and senses on high alert. He did not know if this mysterious lead would yield answers or simply danger, but he was prepared either way.Behind him, his four most trusted guards kept pace, watchful for any signs of deception. But the path ahead remained undisturbed. Perhaps this would be nothing but a fruitless detour. Yet something deep within compelled Vitale onward. He had to know if truth awaited at the end of this trail.As the trees thinned ahead, the brush giving way to a rocky clearing, Vitale felt the fine hairs on his neck stand on end. He slowed, holding up a hand to halt his guards. The space appeared empty, but his instincts screamed that eyes were watching them even now. It was an ideal spot for an ambush.Vitale turned sharply to retreat back under the trees' protective cover. But too late. The faint hiss reached his ears seconds before the canisters hit the ground around them, spewing forth cloying white smoke. Vitale

Leo strode purposefully through the dense forest outside the Sanguinari wolf pack's borders, Vincent trailing at his back. The flickering leaves and branches prevent the rays from reaching the forest grounds . But Leo did not slow. He had tread this path enough times lately to know its twists and turns by heart.At the final iron-barred door, Leo cleared his throat. "Remind me again why we waste our time down here with this mad doctor and his monsters?"Vincent glanced back, lips quirking wryly. "Come now, Alpha. Where's your curiosity? Maddox is clearly on the brink of a breakthrough with his experiments on the wolves. One that could aid our pack greatly.""Or doom us all," Leo muttered under his breath. But he stood guard obediently as Vincent unlocked the door and entered the sprawling laboratory beyond. As always, the cavernous room unsettled Vincent on some primal level. Cages and glass cells lined the walls, housing Maddox's less than willing test subjects in various states of

Vitale paced restlessly around the makeshift camp, his mind churning with questions. It had been two days since discovering the ominous clues at the abandoned office site, but they were no closer to uncovering the truth. Marco had extracted some data from the cryptic flashdrive, but it was all heavily encrypted. He was still working to break through the protections and access the files. In the meantime, Vitale had dispatched trusted allies to dig deeper into the shadowy rental company's records and affiliations. But so far, they had turned up nothing useful.Whoever was behind this had covered their tracks exceptionally well. But Vitale knew there had to be some thread they could follow, some mistake the culprits had made. And he had no intention of leaving until he found it. For now, the team remained camped a cautious distance from the derelict office park, maintaining a discreet watch over the site. The shred of clothing with Natalia's scent tied her to this place somehow, Vitale

Pale dawn light filtered weakly through the dense forest surrounding the sprawling Krovavyy Krest pack grounds. Nestled deep within the remote Siberian wilderness, it was the largest and most formidable werewolf clan in Russia.In the training grounds, Alessio crouched across from Vincent, eyes narrowed in concentration. His muscles coiled tightly as he watched his mentor circle slowly. Vincent's scarred face gave nothing away, completely unreadable. They had been sparring since dawn, neither gaining advantage over the other for more than a moment. But Alessio could feel his strength starting to flag. The grueling daily training here at the Krovavyy Krest pack sanctuary was taking its toll.Vincent lunged without warning, aiming a vicious kick at Alessio's midsection. With reflexes honed over weeks of practice, Alessio spun away, using his opponent's momentum against him to flip Vincent over onto his back.Before he could press his counterattack, Vincent had rolled swiftly back to hi

Dawn's first light filtered weakly through the dense forest canopy as Natalia and Olga set out on patrol together. Since extending her offer of friendship, Olga had made a point of volunteering for duties alongside Natalia as often as possible. To Natalia, the she-wolf's presence now felt less like camaraderie and more like the smothering watch of a prison guard. "What a lovely morning!" Olga exclaimed, breaking the tense silence between them. "Don't you just adore the springtime, Natalia? Everything feels so alive and renewed.""I suppose so," Natalia replied halfheartedly, scanning their surroundings. She was anxious to finish this patrol and pursue a new anonymous tip regarding the omegas' whereabouts. The scrap of paper had contained only an address and dire warning - "Cabin east of canyon, leave now. Evidence inside."Natalia wasn't foolish enough to fully trust such a conveniently timed message. More likely it was a trap set by the kidnappers to lure her out alone where she wou

Natalia sank into the steaming water of the women's bath with a contented sigh, letting the heat relax her sore muscles. It had been an exhausting day of leading martial training for the pack's youth. As much as she loved passing on her skills, keeping up with the pups' boundless energy left her drained. She leaned back and closed her eyes, appreciating this chance to unwind in solitude.Her blissful soak was interrupted by the creak of the door and murmured voices. Natalia opened her eyes to see Olga entering with two other pack women, laughing brightly at something one said. Natalia suppressed a frown. Since the trial two weeks ago, Olga had been nothing but a nuisance, following Natalia around and ALWAYS showing up wherever she happened to be. Natalia did her best to remain civil, but Olga's overly familiar attitude grated on her.Oblivious to her irritation, Olga waved cheerfully. "Natalia! What a happy coincidence running into you here." The other women greeted Natalia politely

Kat met her squad of hand-picked warriors just outside her territory's border as the moon rose high overhead. Only her most savage and unquestioningly loyal fighters had been recruited for this distasteful but necessary task. They stood restlessly in the shadows of the trees, awaiting her signal.Kat stepped into their midst, her expression grim. "You know our purpose. This is not a sanctioned raid, so speak of it to no one upon our return." Her eyes glinted dangerously in the moonlight. "Am I clear?"The warriors rumbled their assent. They cared not about the whys, only the promise of a good fight their Alpha provided. Kat curled her lip slightly. Foolish brutes. But they would serve her aims well enough tonight. "Then let's be off. We've a two day's hard journey ahead." She inclined her head toward the border. "Time and secrecy are of the essence." Without another word, she leaped forward, shifting mid-air into her wolf form. Powerful limbs ate up the distance as she surged into t

Kat stalked through the dense forest, anger simmering in her veins. Those useless idiots had failed to kill Natalia, again. Just how long would it take to wipe out a single wolf?A twig snapped, jerking Kat from her brooding. She whirled, a snarl on her lips, only to find herself seized from behind by multiple assailants. She thrashed and bit down hard, tasting blood, but their grip was like iron. Within moments they had dragged her past the border markers and dropped her roughly at the feet of a smirking figure leaning against a tree. Kat leaped up and shifted into an attack crouch, lips curled back to expose her fangs. But she faltered at the sight of the man casually cleaning blood from beneath his nails with a knife. Dr. Maddox."Now now, that's no way to greet an old friend," the rogue scientist purred, poisonous gaze locking onto hers. "But given how you've ignored my messages of late, I thought an...intervention...was required."Kat forced her wolf down, though her muscles rem
