Chapter 61: Lunar RaidAria’s POV: Preparations were in place for the attack against Kael, the words had spread across to the rest of the Elders about the change in plan. It’s been two days since the last meeting with the Elders, and the Lunar Moon was just around the corner. We had agreed on a plan to strike during the Lunar Moon, hoping to catch Kael and his cohorts off guard. Elder Oakley had made sure the details were known only to a select few to avoid any leaks. Lyraeus had sent words to the rest of the allies and also the Shadow Fang pack’s warriors, the preparations and plans for this battle had already been put in place. I felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Ravenwood and Kaida had been out of sight these past days giving us the opportunity to prepare better. The day finally arrived as Lyraeus moved among the warriors, checking their gear and offering words of encouragement. “Remember, our main objective is to rescue the captives. Make sure to save every single
Chapter 62: Southern FrontKael’s POV:The night was silent, save for the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind. I crouched low, my eyes scanning the dense forest ahead. My heart pounded in my chest as I inhaled deeply, the scent of pine and earth filling my nostrils. Around me, the rest of my warriors moved with a predatory grace, their eyes gleaming in the dim light. I glanced at Akita, who stood ready at my side. “We strike on my command,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the sound of our breathing. Akita nodded, his muscles tensed in anticipation. The silence was shattered by the sudden howls of the Shadow Fang pack. Shadows burst from the undergrowth, fangs bared and claws extended. I roared, leaping into the fray. My claws slashed through the air, connecting with the side of a Shadow Fang wolf. The wolf yelped in pain, blood spraying from the wound. All around me, the battle erupted in a frenzy of fur and fangs. Akita grappled with a massive Shadow Fang warrior, t
Chapter 63: Battle Turn SourKael’s POV: I marched at the head of my column, my eyes scanning the horizon as we moved towards the North Pole. The air was tense, the promise of battle hanging heavy over my pack. My allies, the Nightshade and Crest Moon packs, flanked me, their warriors moving in silent unity. The path ahead seemed clear until a sudden rustle in the nearby woods caught my attention. I stopped in my tracks, signaling a halt to the rest of the warriors behind. Warriors and allies of the Shadow Fang Pack burst from the undergrowth, their eyes gleaming with determination and fury. I was cut off as I realized I was now surrounded. One by one the warriors of the Shadow Fang pack began to contort changing their forms to that of wolves. “Defend yourselves!” I bellowed, as I transformed into my wolf form. The clash of bodies and the growls of wolves filled the air as the two forces collided. Wolves clawing at each other, wolves biting each other and wolves digging their cla
Chapter 64: Tide of BattleEliana’s POV: I paced back and forth in my chambers, my mind racing. A scout had just informed me that Aria had infiltrated the pack from the North. The news had sent a chill down my spine. I had always underestimated Aria, but now, with Kael away and half the forces thinned by the recent battles, the threat felt more immediate than ever. “I need to do something right?” I asked myself, my hand instinctively resting on my swollen belly. I was heavily pregnant, but I couldn’t afford to show any weakness. My child would be born into a world at war, and I needed to ensure our survival. “My Lady, Eliana,” a voice called from the doorway. It was one of Kael’s lieutenants, a fierce warrior named Zarek. “We need to move you to a quiet and secured place quickly. The Shadow Fang pack is advancing. We need to move.”I took a deep breath, steeling myself. “I am your Luna and I will give the orders around here. Rally the remaining troops,” I commanded. “Fortify their
Chapter 65: ClashAkita’s POV: My eyes widened in horror as I watched the young boy fall to the ground, his life sniffed out by Thorne’s ruthless strike. Rage ignited within me, a wildfire of fury that burned through my veins. Without a second thought, I lunged at Thorne, my claws extended, my fangs bared.Thorne barely had time to react. My attack was a blur of motion, my claws raking across his chest. He staggered back, a growl escaping his lips as blood seeped from the deep gashes. The warriors around us froze, eyes wide with shock and fear. None dared to intervene in the deadly clash unfolding before them. My movements were a deadly dance, each strike precise and powerful. I aimed for Thorne’s weak spots, exploiting every opening with ruthless efficiency. My claws tore through his flesh, my fangs seeking his throat. Thorne fought back with equal ferocity, his own claws slashing through the air, his teeth snapping at me. The sound of our battle echoed through the vast land, a sy
Chapter 66: UnitedEliana’s POV: I paced back and forth, my gown prowling the grand hall of the Blood Moon Pack’s castle. My body bristled with tension as I prepared for the inevitable clash. The moonlight streaming through the tall windows highlighted my sleek, powerful form. I let out a low sigh, the sound reverberating through the silent hall. “Get ready,” I telepathically commanded the remaining pack’s guards and warriors. “They might be close by. We need to be prepared for anything.”The warriors and guards scurried around, their expressions a mix of fear and determination. They had sworn loyalty to me, their Luna and they would fight to protect this pack, their home. Weapons were distributed, and makeshift barricades were constructed as everyone prepared for the impending battle. The warriors I had sent out before to spy on Aria and to confirm if it was really her and her troops approaching from the North, had not yet returned. That alone gave me this eerie feeling that somet
Chapter One: Rejected“Silence!!!!”Elder Thorne’s booming voice echoed through the council chamber, calling the meeting to order. I stood before the esteemed elders, my heart racing with a mix of emotions. Today was the day I would officially announce my decision to hand over my position as the future alpha of the pack to my mate, Kael Darkhaven.The room fell silent, the weight of tradition and expectation palpable. I took a deep breath, my eyes scanning the faces of the elders, searching for any sign of dissent or disapproval.“Aria, daughter of the pack,” Elder Thorne began, his voice grave, “You have called this meeting to discuss your decision to relinquish your title as alpha. Tell us, why do you feel it is necessary to handover your inheritance to your mate?”I swallowed hard, my voice steady as I began to speak. “Elder Thorne, respected elders, my father had led this pack for many years before his death, and I am proud of his accomplishments. However, I don’t think I can con
Chapter Two: Left to Die Kael’s rejection echoed through the grand hall, leaving me stunned and humiliated. But before I could even process what was happening, he continued, his voice dripping with malice. “However, I do have a mate and Luna in mind. One who is worthy of the position.” He turns to Eliana Moon, who was watching the scene unfold with a mixture of shock and excitement. Kael’s eyes locked onto hers, and he smiled, his voice dripping with possessiveness. “Eliana Moon, from this day forward, you will be my mate and luna. Elder Oakley, crown her as such in the presence of this pack.” Elder Oakley looked taken aback, but he quickly recovered, his face expressionless. “As alpha, Kael Darkhaven, it is your right to choose your mate and luna. I will perform the ritual as commanded.” I watched in horror as Elder Oakley approached Eliana, who was beaming with joy. He placed the crown on her head, and Kael pulled her into a possessive embrace. “By the power vested i
