Chapter 6 The Alpha's Doubt
240 Words
Back in Shadowfang territory, Alpha Kael Blackthorn stood alone on the balcony of the pack house.
Morning sunlight stretched across the village below as wolves began their daily routines. From a distance, everything appeared normal.
But Kael felt anything but calm.
Since the ceremony, a strange tension lingered in his chest.
Rejecting Ava had been the logical decision. A Luna needed strength, leadership, and presence. Ava had been an omega—quiet, withdrawn, and seemingly powerless.
The choice had been obvious.
Yet something about the rejection felt… wrong.
Kael clenched his fists against the stone railing.
The mate bond should have disappeared completely once he rejected her.
But it hadn’t.
Instead, it lingered faintly inside his chest like a distant echo.
A warrior approached behind him.
“Alpha,” the man said respectfully.
Kael didn’t turn.
“What is it?”
“Our scouts reported something unusual in the northern forest last night.”
Kael frowned slightly.
“What kind of activity?”
The warrior hesitated.
“Strange lights. Silver ones.”
Kael turned slowly.
“Silver?”
“Yes, Alpha. The scouts described it as lunar magic.”
Kael’s stomach tightened.
Lunar magic was ancient—older than most wolves even remembered.
And it was incredibly rare.
For a brief moment, Ava’s tear-filled eyes flashed in his mind.
He dismissed the thought immediately.
It couldn’t possibly be connected.
And yet the uneasy pull in his chest refused to fade.
