Maxine's P.O.VI sat on the edge of my bed, my mind moving around in circles, focused intently on the clock on the wall. Each tick seemed to drag by time tortoise-slow, minutes elongating into hours. My mother's voice echoed within my head - "Stay in your room, Maxine. Don't come out till we say."But now an hour, two hours had passed with no one coming to see or say anything. My anxiety was gnawing inside, twisting my stomach into knots. What on earth was going on? Why wasn't I allowed to be there?The room, however, was broken by the door slowly creaking open. Alph walked into the room, his face serious, his expression tense. My heart leaped in my chest as I stood up and ran towards him."What's going on? Are you finished?" I asked, trying to sound even as my voice began to shake."Yes, we are," he replied coolly and analytically, sounding like a robot instead of a man.I frowled my brow in time and frustration. "What's the matter with Alph? What was this about? Why wasn't I allowed

Alph P.O.VPale moonlight filtered through above the canopy; we moved quietly through the forest, throwing eerie shadows upon the ground. My heart seemed to pound in my chest; every muscle tensed. Leo was out there, and with him, the civilian pack-wolves created by coercion, turned from humans by the strain of their existence; forever driven by rage and a bloodlust, they could no longer be the people they once were. Now they had become something far darker, something twisted. Leo was at their helm.Beside me, Martin and Trevor moved in silence, their faces equally drawn with a grim determination. We needed to find Leo, stop him before this got any worse. The fragile peace between the wolves and the humans had always been on the edge of shattering, but Leo was about to smash it to smithereens. And if that happened, everything that we had all fought for would be torn asunder."We're close," Martin whispered, his voice barely audible over the wind rustling through the trees.I nodded, my

"Where do you think you're going?" Adam had only just made it to the gate when Coreen's voice came ringing into the air. He turned round, his jaw setting as he found her standing before him, arms across her chest, eyes shooting fire with anger. She was out of place, glaring furiously because she'd been left behind while the rest of the pack moved on.“And who are you?" Adam asked low, and not in the mood for a fight.Coreen stepped closer into his personal space, irritation clear across her face. "It doesn't matter who I am. Where's Martin? Trevor? Alph? Maxine? Everyone's gone, and I was asleep, clueless. What the hell is going on?"Adam sighed, his impatience growing thin. "We don't have time for this. Just follow me. We need to find Maxine before something worse happens.She raised her gaze to the sky; then her eyes widened at that creepy red hue bleeding across the horizon. "I have never seen the sky like this before."Adam hurried his pace; he didn't want to hear more. "It is a

"There are so many." Coreen hissed when she saw the next civilian pack she did not expect that they were a lot. And there are so many against them.Adam stepped in front of Sarah and her pack, panting hard, all his muscles tightened, watching her every movement. She was quick to attack, all sudden and swift and accurate, but Adam was prepared for this experience. The release of powers between them seemed to send waves reverberating through the clearing, every thrust of power forcing the tension within to rise. His head ran busy in his thoughts: *I have to bring this to an end, before the eclipse reaches its peak.*He could feel the tensions mounting in his body under the strains, but it was too late now. He caught Sarah's wrist in mid-swipe, twisted her arm, letting her lose her balance. She snarled and her eyes burnt with fury."You should have left this place alone," she growled as she threw herself free and circulated around him again, her movements calculated now. "You can't stop

Alph P.O.VAir thick with anticipation, humming and crackling in the silence before the storm. Breath came in ragged gasps, cold metallic taste of blood heavy on my tongue. I could feel the tremor of my limbs, weight of exhaustion pulling at me like anchors, but I couldn't stop. Not now. Not with everything on the line.I had watched Alex loom over Maxine, a brilliancy of cruelties playing in his eyes, his hands being vice grips that wrapped around her neck and squeezed, draining. He wanted to steal her, the power of the eclipse, that being who made her what she was—more, even better than a she-wolf; more, even better than my sister. He took everything.The night where the only light comes in the form of the eclipse, bloody on his face."Let her go," I growled, my voice barely more than a whisper, but it carried enough menace that I saw Alex pause, his gaze flicking to me."Or what?" His voice was smooth, calm, a deadly kind of calm that made my blood boil. He was taunting me, daring
The Plus size luna CHAPTER 65
Alex gripped the essence of the eclipse in his hands, the dark power surged through his body. The air around him crackled and grew thick with tension. He smiled, twisted, curving around his lips, a smile that eclipsed the world for the moment. Alongside him Leo grinned, equally proud, his face heaven-to-toe in pride for his father. They had what they desired: control over the eclipse, the most forceful energy known to wolves."Alexander, please! Maxine is still your daughter!" Miranda's voice broke through the silence, each word bleeding with desperation. She was pleading to her former mate, reaching out to the man that once cared for her and their family.But Alex's features were harsh and unyielding, bearing no expression of regret. He looked down upon Leo before directing his gaze to Sarah slumped on the ground, her body battered and her spirit broken, yet with eyes torn between loyalty towards her father and the need to do the right thing."I have a son," Alex said in a voice drip

Maxine P.O.V"Maxine, I need your help."The voice echoed in the hollow of my room, a room painted shades of gray, where color did no longer exist. The air was heavy, heavy with oppression, and lifeless. I could see Sarah standing at the edge of the balcony, her eyes wide with urgency."Maxine, hurry," she said once more, her voice rising above the haze. She motioned for me to step out after her, moving toward the open balcony doors."I'm sorry, Sarah. I should have told you I was going to my grandma's," I said guiltily as I made my way to the balcony. Without hesitation I leaped over the ledge, landing softly by her side.But it felt off. Sarah was not looking at me anymore. The smile was there, but it did not reach up into her eyes. The warmth and the familiarity were all misplaced."I don't have time for this. Forget it, Maxine," she said, shaking her head sideways. "Let's go to our favorite coffee shop.""You're not mad?" I asked, confusion swirling inside me. Part of me was relie

Maxine P.O.V The Hampton Pack was dressed in black, standing in a circle as their faces reflected the grief and loss. I never called him "Dad." Not once. And everything I wanted to ask him, everything I wanted to say about how much I appreciated everything he did as an Alpha-for our pack, for us, myself-were never spoken. And with this, as the coffin of Ador was placed on the earth, I felt that finality was like a hook to the stomach.My mother stood by my side, shaking with soft sobbing. She could not accept that. None of us could. It had happened too fast. That is all it was-happening too fast-and now we are left here picking up pieces of shattered reality. I let her cry, knowing no words could soothe the pain. But the truth was, I was just as broken. I couldn't bear it when Ador, the only father figure I ever knew, disappeared into the earth.I turned to Alph. His face was stone-cold. His back was straight as he stared straight ahead. He was dressed in all black, like the rest of
