The dungeon reeks with a thick stench of mold and stale sweat and the sour smell of a bucket that hadn't been emptied in weeks.

The walls were cold as if it was a cold room.The floor was packed with dirt, cold and damp . A single torch burned in the corridor, its flame weak and guttering, throwing shadows that walked across the ceiling like living things.

The dark was absolute when the torch flickered, which it did every few minutes, plunging her into blackness so complete she couldn't see

  • THE REJECTED WHITE LUNA   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE: A MOTHER’S CHOICE

    The council chamber had never felt so heavy. The grand room that had once been used to celebrate victories and welcome allies had become a prison of silence. Maps lay scattered across the long oak table, marked with hastily drawn routes leading beyond Mooncrest's borders. Red stones marked every place the scouts had searched through the night. None of them had found Audra. The first rays of dawn filtered through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the stone floor. Outside, the green banners of Mooncrest fluttered weakly in the morning breeze, reminders of the Luna Ceremony that had turned into a nightmare. Every leader in the room wore the same expression. Defeat. Aria stood near the window, her back to the others. Between her fingers rested the tiny silver bracelet that had belonged to Audra. She ran her thumb over the delicate engraving, remembering how her daughter had laughed when she fastened it around her tiny wrist before the ceremony. It still carried faint sc

  • THE REJECTED WHITE LUNA   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO: COME WITH ME

    The nursery fell into chaos. Warriors poured through the doorway, searching every corner of the room. Cupboards were thrown open. Curtains were pulled aside. Every window was inspected. There was nothing. Audra was gone. Aria stood over the empty cradle, her hands trembling as she clutched the tiny silver ribbon left behind on the blanket. Her daughter had been here. Only moments ago. And now. She was gone. Nova's anguished howl echoed through her mind. “We need to find her.” Aria spun toward the door. "Search the borders!" Her Luna command rang through the pack house. “Close every gate! "Send scouts into the eastern forest!" "No one leaves Mooncrest!" Warriors rushed to obey. Within seconds, alarm horns echoed across the entire pack. The celebration had become a hunt. Rowan stepped beside her. "We'll find her." His voice was rough. I swear it." Aria looked at him. For a long moment, she said nothing. Then she pulled her arm away when he tried to steady her

    Aria stood motionless. The tears on her cheeks had long since dried, leaving only the emptiness in her eyes. Rowan took another cautious step toward her. "Aria..." His voice was softer than she had ever heard it. “Please." She flinched. It was a small movement. Barely noticeable. But it was enough to make Rowan stop where he was. He looked as though someone had driven a blade through his heart. "I know I don't deserve your trust," he said quietly. "I know I don't deserve your forgiveness. But everything I told you after I met you was real." Aria let out a hollow laugh. "Real?" She finally looked at him. Those silver eyes he loved so much were filled with disbelief. "You looked me in the eyes, and never once told me that the reason you came into my life was because another man ordered you to." Rowan opened his mouth. Nothing came out. "There wasn't a day I didn't want to tell you." "Then why didn't you?" Her voice rose, breaking beneath the weight of her pain. "Why?" The qu

    The hall remained deathly still. No one spoke. The messenger's final words lingered in the night air. “She'll never look at you the same way again." Aria couldn't tear her eyes away from Rowan. The man she'd trusted. The man she'd fought beside. The man she'd chosen. Her voice came out barely above a whisper. "...What doesn't he know?" The messenger smiled. "Everything." Rowan took a step toward Aria. "Don't listen to him. He came here to destroy us." "No." The messenger laughed softly."I came here to reveal what you buried." He looked toward the gathered wolves. "You all believe this Alpha found his mate by fate." How romantic." His smile vanished. "But fate had nothing to do with it." Murmurs rippled through the crowd. Varkos, Rowan’s wolf pushed against the surface. "Enough." The command rolled through the courtyard. Several wolves instinctively lowered their heads. The messenger didn't. He met Rowan's gaze without fear. "You're still trying to protect her. "How to

  • THE REJECTED WHITE LUNA   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN: THE MISSION

    The words echoed through the courtyard long after the messenger fell silent. "...Your mission is complete." The black scroll still resting at Rowan's feet, untouched. The festive air that had filled Mooncrest only moments ago had disappeared, replaced by a suffocating silence. Aria's fingers curled tightly against the folds of her gown. Her heartbeat thundered in her ears. "What mission?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. Yet in the silence, it carried across the entire courtyard. Rowan never looked at her. His eyes remained fixed on the scroll. "Answer her." The messenger's smile widened. "You owe her that much." Rowan finally lifted his head. "There is nothing to explain." The messenger laughed. "Oh, there is everything to explain." He took a slow step forward, his boots striking the stone with deliberate ease. "You've hidden the truth for years. “I think it's finally time." A low growl escaped Rowan's chest. "I won't warn you again." "You already hav

    Silence settled over the ceremonial grounds.No one moved or spoke.The stranger remained standing at the entrance, the hood of his black cloak casting a shadow over most of his face. Only the faint curve of his smile was visible beneath the moonlight.Aria's heart pounded against her ribs. Beside her, Rowan's hand slowly slipped from hers. Nova growled deep inside her mind.“Danger.“The word echoed through Aria's thoughts like a warning bell.The Moon Priest lowered his hands, the sacred blessing forgotten as every eye remained fixed on the unexpected guest.It was Elder Aldrin who finally broke the silence."Who are you?" His voice, though steady, lacked its usual confidence. "And how dare you interrupt a sacred ceremony?"The stranger inclined his head politely."My identity is of little importance. "My message is not."He reached beneath his cloak.Instantly, dozens of warriors drew their swords.Steel flashed beneath the moonlight. The stranger merely chuckled."If I wished your

    The training yard was cold and pack, the sun barely cresting the mountains. Frost clung to the grass, and the breath of the warriors misted in the air as they paired off for morning drills. But it wasn't the cold that had the warriors murmuring. It was the Alpha and the wolfless girl. Rowan stood

    Aria had finished the porridge. She washed her face in the basin and stood in front of the small mirror and looked at the girl with the silver eyes and told herself she was ready. The study door was open. Rowan stood near the window, his arms crossed. Lois sat in the chair by the desk, a scroll un

    Lois looked at Rowan in the wreckage of his study. The scrolls still lay scattered across the floor. The candles had burned out and the was had hardened in pale pools on the stone. Rowan sat in his chair, his head bowed, his hands motionless on his knees. "How long are you going to sit here?"
