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

Chapter 13 In the SilverFang den , my grandmothers sacred artifacts lay on the ancient oak table .

Four of the moonstone crystals were missing recovered by Sorens trackers from throughout Thornes territory and the Sacred Grove .

The packs best hunters had searched for days , following the faintest traces of my grandmothers scent .

Tears welled in my eyes at the sight of the ceremonial cloths , still carrying my grandmothers scent after all these moons .

Thank you , Soren , I whispered , unaware of how his wolf stirred at the sound of his name on my lips .

Between us , no thanks are needed .

Soren stood behind me , his hands resting protectively on my shoulders , his Alpha presence warm and steady .

His touch lingered longer than necessary , his scent carrying notes of pine and something deeper , something hed kept carefully hidden since we were young wolves .

Ill make them return the missing moonstones , no matter what it takes .

His voice softened when he spoke to me , different from the commanding tone he used with others , even to Storm .

Storm burst into the den , clutching investigation scrolls , her wild energy making the ceremonial candles flicker .

Rayne ! That silver tongued viper ! Weve uncovered her whole scheme ! 1 = What did you find ? Sorens voice held the quiet danger of an approaching storm .

Storms eyes blazed with fury as she revealed the truth .

Silvana never had silver sickness .

She switched healing records at the pack healers den ! In these times , healers records only bear pack markings , not names .

She saw her results showed mere moon sensitivity whe another she wolfs showed terminal silver poisoning .

She wouldnt … I breathed , but Storm continued , her voice trembling with rage .

She gave her clean bill of health to the dying wolf , then took the terminal diagnosis to Thorne , playing the tragic victim .

The older she wolf couldnt read the ancient runes , trusted Silvanas kindness .

She returned to her den without treatment .

Sorens claws extended , leaving marks in the wooden table .

What happened to her ? ven Year Deception The silver took her before the next full moon , Storms voice cracked .

Her mate and pups .

never got to say goodbye .

All so Silvana could play her games with our Lunas mate .

It gets worse , Storm growled .

She bribed a corrupt healer to support her lies .

Not even clever deception just gold buying false testimony .

But Thorne , the mighty Alpha , her voice dripped with contempt , never questioned a word .

Too enchanted by her act to see the truth .

I sank into a chair , my world spinning .

All of it my pup , my mate bond , my life destroyed by such a simple lie ? The Moon Goddess will have justice for this , Sorens Alpha voice resonated with deadly promise .

Breaking pack law is one thing .

But causing an innocent wolfs death for her schemes ? That demands blood price .

The moonstone crystals on the table seemed to pulse with agreement , their light reflecting the fury in all our hearts .
