The Captive Luna 9.
The sun was setting over the forest, casting a golden glow on the trees and the grass. The pack territory was peaceful and quiet, except for the occasional howl of a wolf."Move it!" Olga barked at the wolves in charge of cooking dinner tonight. Standing at a meager height of 5'2, she enjoyed tormenting the lower-ranked wolves. She relished in the sight of them cowering and begging for mercy, showing off her power as the Beta's mate. Her heart shaped face stretched into a wicked grin as she stepped on a young female wolf pinning her in place, placing her entire weight on her left foot. Gone were the days when she was a lowly omega cowering in the shadows.But then, something caught her eye. A group of pack warriors dragged a limp body into the pack house. The body was covered in dirt, barely recognizable as a wolf. But Olga squinted and gasped when she recognized the wolf. It was Natalia, the former Luna and the Alpha's true mate.Olga felt a surge of fear and confusion. How could Na

Natalia had curled up in a dark and dirty cell, shivering. Feeling cold and sore, but she was glad she was alive. Even though Vitale had forbid her from ever coming back, vowing to end her life if she ever appeared before him again, he had spared her life and locked her up instead. He had made it clear he never wanted to see her again, but he didn't kill her. For now. She still had a chance. To ask him to help her get back her kids. Only he could do that. Even if he demanded for her freedom at the end, it was a price she was willing to pay. All she had to do was play the right card.She had been lying on the dirty ground for hours, waiting for someone to come and see her. She hoped it would be Vitale, but she knew it was unlikely. He probably didn't want to see her face or hear her voice. He probably wanted to forget that she ever existed. Laying on the thin mattress and trying to conserve what little warmth her body produced, Natalia had tuned all the sounds around her until she he

Vitale couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned in his bed, his mind racing with thoughts of Natalia. How could she do this to him? How could she betray him five years ago, and then show up in his life again, acting as if nothing had happened? How could she have the nerve to look at him with that familiar warmth in her eyes?He hated her. He hated her for breaking his heart, for making him doubt himself, for ruining his trust in women. He hated her for being so beautiful, so smart, so brave. He hated her for making him feel things he didn't want to feel, things he had buried deep inside him."Fuck.." He muttered, getting up from his bed and put on his clothes. He needed to see her. He needed to confront her. He needed to make her pay for what she had done to him. He needed to show her who was in charge, who had the power, who had the upper hand.In the dead of the night, Vitale walked out of his room and headed to the basement, where he had locked her up in a cell. Reaching the cell, he o

Natalia felt a jolt of electricity run through her body as she touched Alessio’s hand. She gasped and jerked back, staring at him with wide eyes.“What…what was that?” She stammered, her voice trembling.Alessio looked at her with the same shock and confusion, as well as something else. Something she recognized all too well. Recognition. Attraction. Desire.He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. He couldn’t believe what was happening. He couldn’t believe what it meant. He found his mate. And it was Natalia.Natalia felt a surge of panic and fear wash over her. She wanted to run away, to hide, to deny the truth. She didn’t want this. She didn’t want him.“No…no, this can’t be happening.” She whispered, shaking her head.The thought of finding a second chance mate had crossed her mind some years back. But when she remembered how V broke her heart and shattered her dreams. How he rejected her as his mate and threatened to kill and turned her into a rogue, pregnant w

Alessio felt a jolt of pain and fear in his chest. He couldn’t believe what V was asking him. He couldn’t believe what V was demanding him. He couldn’t believe what V was taking away from him.His mate, his other half, his soulmate.He wanted to protest, to argue, to refuse. He wanted to tell V that he couldn’t do that, that he wouldn’t do that, that he shouldn’t do that.He wanted to tell V that he loved Natalia, that he needed Natalia, that he wanted Natalia.He wanted to tell V that Natalia was his second chance mate, that the moon goddess gave her to him, and him to her. That they didn’t choose this, they didn’t plan this, they didn’t expect this. That it just happened."I promise..." Alessio spoke through gritted teeth. It was the only way to save her from Vitale's wrath. But that didn't mean he'd keep his words. No, Natalia is his, and he'd make sure it became that way.With that sorted, V asked for Natalia to be brought to his office. He wanted to question her about why she cam

Al ran through the forest, his heart pounding in his chest. He had just overheard a shocking news from Natalia. She had kids. Three of them. Vitale might not know the kids were his, but Alessio does.He had loved her, he had wanted to make her his mate, but she had disappeared when V rejected her, breaking his heart. He had never forgiven himself for losing her, and he had never stopped loving her.He loved her even more now that she was back, when he found out she was his true mate. He felt the bond between them, the pull that he couldn't resist. He hated himself for wanting her, for needing her, for feeling jealous of Vitale. He hated Vitale too, for taking Natalia away from him, for having kids with her, for being the father of her children instead of him.He had hated them all, including himself, and he wanted to make them pay. He wanted to ruin their happiness, to destroy their family, to take away what they loved the most. But now she's back, he had to prevent them from finding

It was the next day after Natalia had arrived. Kat knew she was taking a huge risk by sneaking out of the pack house while Vitale was busy with his alpha duties. She had to see Maddox, the mad doctor who lived in the valley, and get his help. She needed an upgrade in the drug that made werewolves stronger, faster and more resilient. She had heard rumors that Maddox had developed a new formula that could enhance a wolf's abilities beyond anything imaginable. She wanted it for herself, for the pack. She wanted to be his equal, his partner, his mate. She wanted to prove herself to him and to the pack.She drove her motorcycle along the winding road that led to Maddox's laboratory. It was a rundown building that looked like it belonged in a horror movie. She parked her bike outside and knocked on the metal door. A voice came through a speaker."Who is it?""It's Kat. I'm here to see you, Maddox."There was a pause, then a click. The door opened and Kat stepped inside. She was greeted by a

Natalia was jolted awake by a loud bang on her door. She groaned and rubbed her eyes, wondering who could be so rude at this hour. She opened the door and saw Luca, the delta of the pack, standing there with a smirk on his face."Good morning, sunshine. Time to get up and train." He said, grabbing her arm and pulling her out of the room."Train? At this hour?""Yea, let's grab some breakfast first."Natalia walked with Luca to the cafeteria, where a variety of food was available for the pack members. She smelled coffee, eggs, bacon, toast, waffles, fruit, and juice. She felt her stomach growl, but she had no desire to eat. She took a plate and put some food on it, just to be polite.Luca loaded his plate with everything he could fit. He smiled at her and nudged her."Come on, eat up. You'll need the strength for the training." He said, taking her to a table.They sat down and began to eat. Luca ate with enthusiasm, while Natalia ate with reluctance."So, are you excited for today?" He

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
