Fated Mate to the Triplet Alpha

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: The Hunt for Ancient Allies

"I’m going after the old packs," Ronan announced, his green eyes burning with determination. "Someone has to find wolves who still believe in the prophecy." Elara gripped his arm, her silver power flickering slightly. "It’s too dangerous. Those seven things in the sky—" "Will arrive whether we’re ready or not," Ronan cut her off kindly.

"But if I can bring back allies who remember the old ways, we might survive." Kael stepped forward, his face grim. "The Northern Territories are three days away. The ancient packs there haven’t spoken to strangers in decades." "Perfect," Ronan said with a wild grin. "They’re exactly who we need." Darian frowned. "What if they refuse to help?" "Then I’ll make them understand," Ronan replied, his voice carrying the dangerous edge that made him the most feared of the triplets in fight.

Two hours later, Ronan stood at the cave entrance with Derek, Tobias, and strangely, Celeste. "Why are you coming?" Ronan asked her straight. Celeste lifted her chin proudly. "Because I know these packs. My grandma came from the Northern Territories. They’ll listen to me." "Or kill you for betraying tradition," Derek muttered. "Both options work for me," Celeste said coldly. As they prepared to leave, the oldest of the three Moon Alpha children approached Ronan. "Take this," she said, pressing a small crystal into his hand. "It will glow when you find true believers." "How will I know?" "You’ll feel it," she whispered. "The old magic recognizes its own." The journey north began under a sky filled with eerie lights. Seven lines of darkness moved slowly toward Earth, each one pulsing with evil energy. "How long do we have?" Tobias asked, running beside Ronan’s wolf form. Ronan shifted back to human shape without breaking step. "Margaret thinks maybe four days before they land." "Four days to convince ancient packs to trust an omega Luna," Derek said grimly. "Impossible." "Nothing’s impossible," Ronan growled. "Not anymore." They ran through the night, covering ground at incredible speed. By dawn, they reached the edge of the Northern Territories—a place where the trees grew higher, the air felt thicker, and magic hummed in every shadow. "I smell wolves," Celeste said, her nose twitching. "Old ones.

Powerful ones." "And they smell us," Ronan answered, scanning the forest. Suddenly, twenty massive wolves appeared from between the trees. Their fur was silver-streaked with age, their eyes glowing with ancient knowledge. The biggest wolf, a female with scars across her muzzle, shifted into human form. She looked at least seventy, but her presence demanded instant respect. "I am Alpha Sage of the Moonridge Pack," she said in a voice like rustling leaves. "Why do young wolves trespass on sacred ground?" Ronan stepped forward bravely. "Because the prophecy is coming true, and we need your help." Alpha Sage’s eyes narrowed. "What prophecy?" "The Moon Alpha has awakened," Celeste said, surprising everyone with her respect. "She who will unite all packs under silver light." The old Alpha’s face changed instantly. "Show me proof." Ronan pulled out the crystal.

It blazed with brilliant light, so bright that several wolves stepped back in awe. "Impossible," Alpha Sage breathed. "That’s pure Moon Alpha energy." "Not impossible," Ronan said definitely. "She’s real. Her name is Elara Moon, and she needs the old packs to recognize her claim." "An omega cannot be Luna," another elderly wolf argued. "She’s not an omega," Ronan shot back, his anger flaring. "That was a lie to hide her true nature. She’s the most powerful Moon Alpha born in a thousand years." Alpha Sage studied him carefully. "You’re one of the Blackwood triplets.

I can smell your father’s weakness on you." Ronan’s fists clenched. "Marcus is dead. I’m nothing like him." "Prove it," she challenged. What happened next shocked everyone. Instead of rising to the bait, Ronan knelt on one knee. "I don’t need to prove anything to you," he said evenly. "Elara already proved everything to me. She saved my brothers, my pack, and possibly the entire supernatural world. If you can’t see her worth, that’s your failure, not ours." Alpha Sage blinked in surprise. "You kneel to an omega?" "I kneel to my equal," Ronan amended. "My mate. My Luna. My everything." The crystal in his hand flared brighter, and suddenly every wolf in the clearing felt it—the mate bond, the love, the absolute loyalty that connected Ronan to Elara across hundreds of miles. "Remarkable," Alpha Sage whispered. "The bond is stronger than legends claimed." "Will you help us?" Derek asked quickly. Before Alpha Sage could answer, a bone-chilling howl echoed across the forest. But it wasn’t coming from any dog. "What was that?" Celeste asked, her face pale. Alpha Sage’s face turned deadly serious. "That was a Shadowstalker. They hunt in packs and eat magical energy." "I thought they were extinct," Tobias said with rising fear. "So did we," Alpha Sage answered grimly.

"But if they’re hunting again, it means something very powerful is calling them." Another howl answered the first, then another, until the forest rang with inhuman sounds. "They’re surrounding us," Derek noticed, pulling out his silver blade. "No," Alpha Sage amended. "They’re herding us." "Toward what?" Ronan demanded. His answer came as the trees ahead burst outward. Something massive crashed through the forest, leaving damage in its wake. "One of the seven," Celeste breathed in terror. The creature that emerged was beyond fears. Twelve feet tall, covered in changing shadows, with eyes like burning coals and claws that dripped darkness. "The Moon Alpha’s pet wolves," it spoke in a voice like grinding stone. "How convenient." "You’re early," Ronan said, trying to sound stronger than he felt. "I wanted to play," the creature answered with a terrible smile. "The others can wait their turn." It rushed forward with impossible speed, but Alpha Sage was faster. She changed mid-leap, her wolf form blazing with silver light that matched the crystal in Ronan’s hand. "Protect the boy!" she ordered her pack. "He carries Moon Alpha essence!" The fight was unlike anything they’d ever seen. The Shadowstalkers poured from the forest like living nightmares, while the ancient wolves fought with power that made the very air shake. But the huge creature was too strong. It tore through their defenses like paper, heading right for Ronan. "The crystal!" Alpha Sage shouted. "Use it!" Ronan raised the small stone, and it burst with silver fire. The creature screamed as the light hit it, its shadowy form beginning to vanish.

"This isn’t over, little wolf," it hissed as it faded. "Tell your dear Luna that Lord Vex sends his regards. I’ll be back with friends." As the creature vanished, the Shadowstalkers fled with it, leaving the forest strangely quiet. "Well," Alpha Sage said, shifting back to human form and wiping blood from her mouth. "That settles it." "Settles what?" Ronan asked. "If one of the Seven came here personally to stop you from reaching us, then your Luna must be everything you claim." She turned to her pack. "Send word to all the Northern Territories. The Moon Alpha has awakened, and the old forecast stirs." "You’ll help us?" Celeste asked hopefully. "We’ll do more than help," Alpha Sage answered with a dangerous smile. "We’ll prepare for war."

But as they celebrated their win, none of them noticed the shadow that detached itself from a nearby tree. It slithered away through the forest, bringing news of everything it had seen and heard. Miles away, six more creatures stirred in the darkness, their eyes fixed on the faraway lights of the cave where Elara waited. "So," one of them hissed to the others. "The little Luna has friends now. How delightfully unexpected." "Should we be concerned?" another asked. "Concerned?" The first thing laughed, a sound like breaking bones. "My dear brother, this just became much more interesting." Back in the Northern Territories, Ronan felt a chill run down his spine. Something was wrong. Something was coming. And they were running out of time faster than an
