I pace the length of my office, my footsteps echoing off the walls like the ticking of a time bomb. My blood boils with each passing second, the rage within me threatening to erupt like a volcano. The last report I received plays over and over in my mind, taunting me with its insufficiency.

Unable to find Diana. The words mock me, fueling my anger to new heights.

"Incompetent fools!" I roar, sweeping my arm across my desk. Papers and trinkets crash to the floor, the sound doing little to satisfy the fury coursing through my veins.

For weeks, I've had that little bitch running like a hunted animal. The bounty I placed on her head should have been more than enough incentive for every lowlife and scoundrel to turn her in. I had been so close, the net slowly closing around her. I could almost taste my revenge, imagining the exquisite pain I would inflict upon her.

But now? Nothing. She's vanished like smoke in the wind.

  • The Feral Alpha’s Rejected Luna   Chapter 407

    Diana"Stop wasting my time and show yourself!"My heart sinks even lower.And how can she ‘feel’ my presence when we're cloaked? I look desperately at Emerald, but I see the same helpless confusion reflected in her eyes.I glance toward the witch's position, then back at my two companions. My jaw clenches as I come to a decision."Stay here," I whisper, beginning to climb down from our perch.Both Billy and Emerald grab hold of me instantly. "No," Billy hisses, while Emerald shakes her head vigorously."I'll lure her away," I whisper urgently. "If I don't, she'll find all of us. And if she discovers Emerald..." I don't need to finish that sentence.They still don't release me, their grips tightening desperately."I won't engage," I promise them. "I'll run immediately. Have faith in me—I'm an Alpha wolf trained by Dominicus. I can escape.""Then how will you get away if she can locate you anyway?" Emerald asks, her whisper barely audible.The question punches a massive hole in my logi

    DianaBut then, suddenly, everything goes quiet.The change is so abrupt it makes my skin crawl. I extend my senses outward again, straining to understand what's happening below us. The witches are still there—I can hear their movements—but they're no longer cursing and making noise. Instead, there's a purposeful quality to their shuffling feet, like they're moving with coordinated intent.Dread pools in my stomach as I reach out to Dominicus again. ‘Dom, the dark witches are doing something. I don't know what, but I have a very bad feeling about this.’‘Got it,’ he responds immediately. ‘We'll hasten our descent.’Fifteen minutes later, we discover exactly what they were doing.Peering through the gaps in the branches, I suck in a cold breath as I see a wave of darkness moving through the fog. It hasn't reached our position yet, but it's advancing steadily, like a tide of pure malevolence.The fog that had just minutes ago lost its luminescent glow of light magic is now being filled

    Diana"It's much less dense," Emerald confirms, her voice barely above a whisper. "It must have started while we were asleep." She swallows hard, her eyes darting nervously around the increasingly dim fog. "I knew it was only temporary, but I'd been hoping it would last longer."My jaw clenches as the full weight of our situation settles over me.Emerald whispers, "The early morning breeze must have contributed to dispersing it."There's no time to waste. I immediately reach out through the mate bond to Dominicus.‘Dom’, I call urgently.‘Yes?’ comes his immediate reply.‘The light magic in the fog is fading. Fast.’The silence that follows is heavy. I can feel his displeasure radiating through our connection.‘That's bad’, he says finally, echoing my own thoughts. ‘Very bad.’‘Most of the light witches have recovered over the past hour and we were overwhelming the other side too…’ he tells me resentfully before growling in annoyance. I sense him immediately reaching out through the

    ApolloThe water is shockingly cold as we wade through.Suddenly I jump. I don’t know if its my imagination, but I could swear I heard the sound of someone not far behind- a crunching of dead leaves as a foot steps on them. It could just be paranoia and fear making me imagine things but I hasten my steps."Quickly!" I whisper yell, water sloshing around my knees.Connor nods and picks up the pace. The current is stronger than it looked from the bank, and by the time we reach the other side, we're both soaked through.Once we're on solid ground again, Connor starts searching the thick vegetation along the bank, his movements urgent and methodical. His eyes scan the wall of greenery like he's searching for something."It's here somewhere," he mutters, pushing aside ferns and low-hanging branches. "It has to be here.""Connor, what exactly are you looking for?" I ask, trying to keep the impatience out of my voice, eyes looking around in panic. Please don't let anyone find us..."Here!"

    Apollo"What the hell—" I'd started, but Connor cut me off with a sharp gesture."Sentinel Greene," he'd whispered, his voice hollow with horror.I'd squinted through the foliage, my wolf vision zooming in on the distant figure. There he was, standing at the pack borders like a guardian statue, bandages wrapped around his neck and his face pale but alert. His eyes swept the area with the methodical precision of a trained sentinel."So? What about him?" I'd asked, confusion mixing with growing dread.Connor's face had crumpled. "He saw us, Apollo. When we were leaving. He saw us run."The words hit me like a physical blow. "What? How? You never said anything!""I thought he was dead!" Connor's voice cracked with panic. "I saw two rogues ambush him. I watched one of them deliver what looked like a killing blow. I was sure—absolutely sure—that he was finished."My carefully constructed plan crumbled to dust in that moment. Someone had witnessed our cowardice. Someone knew we'd abandoned

    DianaThe forest is silent except for our breathing.We all remain in that silence for a long moment.Emerald is the first to break the silence, her voice barely above a whisper. "Doing that to another person... that's a different kind of evil entirely. It would have been kinder if they'd just killed them outright. That's no way to exist."I don't respond, my eyes fixed on the pile of corpses. The image of those tortured souls will be burned into my memory forever.Billy's voice cuts through the quiet, thick with barely contained rage. "Those evil bitches... Gods-damn them all to hell."Silence falls again, heavy and oppressive. Finally, Emerald asks hesitantly, "Do you think... do you think there are more of these things out there?"Billy curses again, more colorfully this time. "Gods, I hope not."I close my eyes and expand my senses, reaching out into the forest to search for more creatures like the ones we've just put to rest. The forest is vast, and while I can't feel all of it,
