The Broken Luna Unbound: Goodbye to My Alpha’s Seven-Year Deception Novel

Chapter 10 Ravenna raised her head , shock bleeding into rage .

My dream everything Ive crafted , every pattern Ive woven into the moonweave for years … and you expect me to just hand it over to her ? Raw defiance edged her voice .

I refuse .

Valdrins power rippled through the chamber , a warning in the air .

Its a single ceremony , nothing more , winter faces death itself .

This small comfort before the ritual would t deny her even that , sister ? Bitter laughter caught in Ravennas throat .

How easily he dismissed her lifes work .

As if years of dedication meant nothing before Winters whims .

As if everything must bow to Winters desires .

My heart isnt enough ? The words tasted like ashes .

Must she claim my sacred craft as well ? A flicker of uncertainty crossed Valdrins face .

Winters voice drifted through the stone walls , fragile as morning mist : If you refuse me this … Ill reject the heart ritual entirely .

If death claims me without granting this one dream … A delicate pause .

Then let it take me now .

Their fathers power surged as he rushed to her .

Hush , precious one .

Youll have your wish .

He whirled on Ravenna , eyes blazing amber with Alpha authority : You WILL yield your place ! The Moon Gathering chose ME , Ravenna snarled back , her weakened wolf still showing teeth .

My craft , my right ! Their fathers power turned deadly .

She is your blood ! Your own sister ! Would you have her death stain your soul ? When Ravennas defiance held , he pulled out his power crystal , voice dropping to a lethal whisper : Perhaps watching your guild shatter will loosen your grip .

I can have your crafthold torn apart before the moon rises .

The threat hit like a physical blow .

This was her father wielding her deepest vulnerability like a blade .

Valdrins voice carried false gentleness : Other ceremonies will come .

Let her have this one .

Ravenna looked at them all mate , blood , pup a united front behind Winter .

A broken laugh escaped her .

Take it , then .

Her eyes met theirs , dead as winter frost .

Does this satisfy the pack ? They turned to Winter , victorious .

Only Ravenna remained , head thrown back , silent tears tracking down her face as the last ember of her spirit flickered and died .
