Estelle's POV

I didn't dare look at him again. I turned and walked away, moving so fast it was almost a retreat.

It wasn't until the door clicked shut behind me that I finally let myself breathe.

There was no sound from the other side, but I knew he was watching. He had to be.

I walked all the way back to my room. The moment I stepped inside, I headed straight for the bathroom and splashed cold water over my face.

In the mirror, my cheeks were flushed, like I'd just stepped out of a scalding bat

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 80

    Estelle's POVHearing Cassius's words, I felt a headache coming on and had absolutely no idea how to respond.As I was searching for an answer, I suddenly heard someone click his tongue.Looking over Cassius's shoulder, I spotted Theron standing beneath a nearby streetlamp. The darkness cast sharp shadows across his features."Seriously," he said. "This is the third time I've heard this exact conversation."Thanks to a werewolf's heightened hearing, I caught every word despite how softly he spoke. Then again, as one of the most powerful Alphas alive, lowering his voice didn't seem like something he naturally bothered with.Beside him, Amelia looked equally exasperated."If this were a novel," she said, "the readers would be accusing the author of padding the chapters. One person says, ‘Activate the bond.' The other says, ‘No.' Then they repeat the same argument ten thousand times."Theron fell silent for two seconds before nodding thoughtfully."That's a fair point." He looked between

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 79

    Estelle's POVI nodded impassively. "Yeah. The Moon Goddess must be pretty bored today."The door swung open, and the scent of an Alpha flooded the room.Cassius walked in and sat down beside me. His gaze swept over my face before settling on my hands. Only after confirming I wasn't hurt did the tension in his aura ease slightly.Then, without warning, he reached out, pulled my face toward him, and started feeding me."You're this hungry? You came out here just to eat on your own? Why didn't you tell me?" His tone was casual, as if nothing had happened.I tugged at the corner of my mouth but said nothing.Cassius looked up at Theron.Two Alpha auras clashed in silence, like rival wolf kings sizing each other up across a contested border."Alpha Theron," he said with a cold smile. "You really enjoy hanging around other people's mates, don't you? She has a mate. Didn't you know that?"The entire Italian restaurant fell silent at once. Even the owner and his wife perked up, clearly preten

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 78

    Estelle's POVThe message had barely been sent when Amelia's call came through.I frantically hung up and switched to text.Amelia replied almost immediately: [Who saved you? In that godforsaken place of yours, who else but me would come looking for you in the middle of the night?]I stared at the screen, momentarily lost in thought.I'd originally planned to brush it off, but since she'd asked, not answering would only make me look guilty. And what exactly did I have to feel guilty about?So I typed a name with complete honesty: [Theron.]There was a three-second pause before her messages exploded across the screen.[??????][What's going on?!][Nightshade's Alpha personally came to save you?!][That's way beyond a boss caring about an employee, isn't it?!]The corner of my mouth twitched. [Because I'm a hero.]Amelia replied instantly. [Then do another heroic deed. Shouldn't he reward you with himself?]I stared at the screen, expressionless.[Shut up.][Just focus on running your la

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 77

    Estelle's POVThe next second, a strong arm wrapped around my waist, and suddenly my feet left the ground."Aaaah—Help! Somebody's trying to kill me!"I struggled wildly, kicking and flailing. Several solid kicks landed on whoever was behind me.Then a deep voice sounded above my head."No one's trying to kill you."The moment I heard it, I froze.That voice was unmistakable—familiar in a way that settled deep in my bones. It was like mountain spring water after the thaw: cool, clear, and strangely reassuring.My struggling gradually stopped, and I turned my head.Moonlight filtered through the treetops, illuminating a face so striking it was almost intimidating. Pale skin. Deep-set eyes. And that presence unique to a top-tier Alpha—like a sandalwood forest beneath a winter sky, powerful and dangerous, yet remarkably restrained.I stared at him, completely dumbfounded.At that moment, a bear stepping out of the woods would have seemed more believable than what I was seeing."Y-you…" I

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 76

    Estelle's POVIn that moment, a crimson glow flashed in his eyes."Regret?" He stared at me, his voice low and dangerous. "But you're already my Luna.""I used to be!" I finally screamed, breaking down. "You're the one who betrayed me! You're the one who neglected me! You're the one who left me suffering through the Bond every single day!"The tears came uncontrollably, one after another."Why am I the one paying the price for all of it? Cassius, how did you become this cruel?"The carriage fell silent.I watched the madness in his eyes fracture piece by piece, leaving behind nothing but pain—raw, unbearable pain.He lifted a hand toward me, then stopped halfway, as though he no longer had the right to touch me."I'm sorry," he whispered. "Estelle, I'm sorry. It's my fault. All of it. I just…"His voice broke, sounding like the whimper of a wounded wolf."I just didn't want to lose you."I stared at him blankly. Suddenly, I felt so exhausted that even my anger had burned itself out.Mo

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 75

    Estelle's POVThe compartment was hazy with cigarette smoke. His tie hung loose around his neck, and dark strands of hair had fallen across his forehead.I had to admit it—Cassius was still devastatingly handsome. Mature. Dangerous. Every inch the Alpha.But the image that surfaced in my mind wasn't the man standing before me.It was the boy from years ago. The boy who would blush whenever our fingers brushed. The boy who'd hidden his first bouquet behind his back, too embarrassed to hand it over.That boy was gone.He'd been gone for a very long time.I drew a slow breath and met his gaze."So?" I asked. "What exactly do you want?"Cassius exhaled a stream of smoke, his eyes never leaving mine. They were frighteningly dark, like a wolf studying its prey.A long moment passed.Then he suddenly leaned closer.The scent of tobacco brushed against my skin as his deep voice filled the cramped compartment."Estelle. I've been thinking about this for a long time." His eyes searched my face.

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 28

    Estelle's POVMelody's expression collapsed. Those tears, that act of contrition, peeled away, exposing the dark truth beneath.Cassius's demeanor shifted, like a dying flame flaring to life. He strode toward me, hurried steps, almost losing the control expected of an Alpha."Really?" His voice was

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 27

    Estelle's POVThen her obsession showed, sharp and twisted. "Love doesn't follow order! So what if you've already mated? Your bond is weakening—Cassius and I are meant to be! She should step down from Luna!"Loathing thickened the air. Every Alpha's mate fixed their gaze on her like daggers. Still,

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 25

    Estelle's POVI heard every word. A wolf's hearing never grants mercy.Their voices burrowed into me, scraping against bone like a dull blade—but my expression didn't change.Deep inside, my wolf paced, breath low and restless, fangs pressing against my gums, ready to tear something apart.—Not yet

  • Alpha's Shadow, Luna's Fire   Chapter 23

    Estelle's POVThis was not hard to guess. The distress message I'd managed to send Adrian—just before everything went dark. That was why Theron had come and why he had saved me.He rose to his feet, and his figure looked tall and unavoidable.Those golden eyes locked onto mine, carrying a weight th
