Semua Bab Alpha's Eclipse: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Caius must have sensed her unease, because without a word, he reached for her hand.His warmth grounded her. His golden eyes met hers, steady and sure. “Are you alright?”Lira swallowed hard. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “I feel… watched.”Caius’s lips twitched. “Because you are.”She huffed a quiet laugh. “That doesn’t make me feel better.”He tugged her a little closer, lowering his voice. “They’re looking at you because they believe in you.”Lira exhaled sharply. “That’s what scares me.”Caius studied her, his thumb brushing lightly over her knuckles. “Why?”Lira hesitated. “Because I don’t know if I can be what they need me to be.”A moment of silence stretched between them. Then, Caius leaned in just enough that his breath brushed against her temple.“You already are.”His words sent a warmth through her chest, a quiet strength settling in her bones.She wasn’t sure if he was right. But for now, she let herself believe it.A History Woven in SecretsTheir group had been given a

Lira sat at the great wooden table in Alpha Thoren’s council chamber, the ancient parchment in front of her feeling like a weight upon her chest. The ink had faded over centuries, the edges of the paper frayed and worn by time, yet the words upon it burned in her mind with an intensity that couldn’t be ignored.“Upon the turning of the twenty-second year, the wolf shall awaken within the Alpha-born…”Her wolf. The part of her that had remained dormant all her life, locked away deep inside her. The prophecy spoke of the awakening of that primal force within her, a force that would now be thrust into the world at the most critical of times.Her heart pounded as she skimmed the parchment once more, her fingers trembling as she traced the inked letters. “As the moon waxes nearest to her birth, the bond must be sealed…”Her gaze lifted from the scroll, her eyes searching for Caius. He stood near the window, his silhouette framed by the dim light of the evening. His arms were crossed, his p

Two days passed, Lira could feel the subtle shift in the air. Something was coming.It wasn’t just her, though. The wolves of Valenwood grew more alert, their movements sharper, their patrols tighter. It was as if the very land itself had become restless. The usual hum of life in the village had turned tense, charged with anticipation.Lira couldn’t escape the feeling that everything was leading to something—something that would change everything.Then, one night, it happened.Lira awoke with a start, her body drenched in cold sweat. The room around her was cloaked in darkness, but the air was thick with something unseen, something heavy. It was as if the night itself had taken on a life of its own, swirling with an ominous presence that pressed down on her chest.She lay frozen for a moment, trying to gather her bearings, her breath coming in shallow gasps. There was something wrong. Something… watching.Then, she heard it.A voice."Little Alpha."Her blood turned to ice at the soun

The night stretched on, heavy with the weight of uncertainty. Valenwood was on edge, its warriors moving like shadows through the trees, searching for any trace of hidden crystals or other dark artifacts. The pack was restless, every member feeling the tension in the air, but none of them were certain who or what to trust.Lira sat at the grand table in the heart of the stronghold, surrounded by the familiar faces of those she trusted most. Tobias and Dain stood near the entrance, their voices low and urgent as they discussed their next steps. Caius sat beside her, his presence a steadying force, though his usual calm had been replaced by an edge of unease. His fingers absently tapped against the surface of the table, the rhythm betraying the tension inside him.The traitor—Lucien, or whoever else had worked with Malakar—had not yet been found, but the certainty that one of them was feeding information to the Dark Lord gnawed at Lira's mind. It was only a matter of time before they we

The moment the howl rang through the air, every warrior in Valenwood tensed. Swords were drawn, and the once-calm clearing turned into a battlefield waiting to ignite.Tobias’s sharp voice cut through the tension. "Positions! Defend the stronghold!"Dain snarled, his gaze scanning the trees. "They didn’t waste time, did they?"Lira struggled to stand, her body still weak from the severing ritual. Caius helped her up, his grip firm.Thoren turned to Morgana. "How did they find us so quickly?"Morgana’s expression was grim. "Lucien. The crystal wasn’t just a message—it was a beacon. Malakar now knows exactly where we are."Then—the forest erupted.Dark shapes surged from the forest’s edge, their eyes gleaming with unnatural hunger. Malakar’s wolves. They were no longer the majestic, noble beasts that had once roamed the lands of Valenwood. These creatures were twisted, corrupted by his dark influence, their bodies contorted and grotesque. Some were barely recognizable as wolves, their f
