All Chapters of Moonlit Dominion: She-Wolf Ascendant: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I gaze at the letter in my hand, both happy and scared. Honestly, I’m feeling so many emotions at once that it’s hard to think straight. I’m going to be a father. I always dreamt of having a child, expanding my legacy. Then again, the birth of our child means that the curse will come true. What should I do? If the Elders come to know this, they won’t ever let me out of the pack. They said I’m the only pureblood child of my parents, and that I have to be protected at any cost. They forbid me to keep any relation with Nyx. But simply that’s impossible.I quickly put on a black robe and sneak out of the den, not wanting to waste a single moment. Our child will be a gift, but also a curse. The prophecy has started to haunt me, the tainted words on that diary. The Elders warned me, but never fully disclosed the matter, they were disappointed in me. But no prophecy, no curse, could ever keep me away from Nyx.The wind howls as I shift into my wolf form, my black fur blending with the night.

As Nyx’s eyes widen in panic, I feel a rush of adrenaline surge through me. “Okay, stay calm,” I urge her, trying to keep my voice steady despite the chaos erupting in my mind. “We need to get you to the infirmary, fast.”She nods, but I can see the fear etched on her pale face. “Lorenzo, it’s too soon. I don’t think I’m ready for this.”I kneel beside her, taking her hands in mine. “You are strong, Nyx. You’ve carried our child this far, and you can do this. Just breathe.”She takes a deep breath, but I can see the tremors running through her body. “It hurts,” she admits, her voice shaking. “I didn’t expect it to feel like this.”I glance around the gathering, noting the worried faces of our friends and family. “Someone! We need help!” I shout, my voice cutting through the murmurs of the crowd.A moment later, the Head Healer, Josephine rushes over, her eyes wide with concern. “What happened?” she asks, taking in the scene—the gathering crowd, Nyx’s ashen face, the wet fabric of her

I pass my son to Josephine, looking at her with sincere eyes. “You have done a lot for us. Please take care of our son for a while too.”She smiles, glancing at Nyx’s peaceful, sleeping face. “Of course, this is my duty. Don’t worry too much, Alpha Lorenzo. You’ll lose all your hair like this.”I chuckle, rubbing the back of my neck. “You might be right.”I drop onto a nearby chair, gripping my head, trying to clear it. My son or Nyx—neither of them will be going to that temple. I’ll go alone.I look down at my son, his tiny features softened in sleep, and a decision settles in my heart. I’ll choose the name Nyx had whispered to me when we first learned we’d be parents. Enzo. His name will be Enzo.Taking a steadying breath, I brush my hand over Nyx’s forehead, feeling the warmth beneath my fingers. She seems to be in a better position now. I hope she can rest while I do this, while I settle the score with the Lycan God.Quietly, I rise from my seat and step out of the room, giving on

Nyx opens her eyes, breathing heavily. Her whole body is sore, and it takes a moment before she can find the strength to look around the dimly lit room."Lorenzo?" she calls out softly, her voice trembling slightly.There’s no response. The space around her is empty, the silence echoing in her ears.“Where are you, Lorenzo?” she whispers to herself, trying to steady her racing heart.Fragments of the dream still cling to her, a dark and twisted nightmare. Someone had died in her arms, someone close to her. She couldn’t remember every detail, but the lingering sense of loss and desperation still burned deep in her chest. It was only a nightmare, she reminds herself, but her heart aches as if it were real.With a shaky breath, Nyx slowly pushes herself upright, each movement a struggle against her sore and weary muscles. Her body feels like it’s been through a war, but somehow, she manages to stand.Taking one careful step after another, she leaves the room, moving through the silent co

I didn’t know Nyx’s mother, so I don’t think I have the right to comment on this situation. But Nyx seems really tense; it must be a lot to take in. Enzo is sleeping soundly, his small breaths a comforting rhythm. I decide to give her some time alone and head outside.It’s almost a full moon, and I can feel the pheromones flaring up in my body. Should I go for a hunt? Just like a lone wolf. Though I prefer to hunt alone, tonight feels different.I transform just before entering the forest, feeling the familiar rush of power as my senses sharpen. My red eyes scan the area, and I can’t help but growl in a low tone, eager to assert my presence in the wild. I run forward, all my senses heightened, red eyes seeking prey.Suddenly, I sense two wolves behind a bush. I halt in my position, the feeling striking me like déjà vu. The scent is heavy with musk and intrigue. I sigh and transform back to my human form in under ten seconds, remembering what I’ve just interrupted.I cough loudly, maki
