• Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 94~

  Victor’s arm was already mid-swing when I crashed into him—shoulder-first, full speed, no plan, no mercy. Just instinct.Just rage.We both hit the ground hard, rolling through blood and dirt. His claws raked my side, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. I forced myself between him and Luca, drawing both blades with shaking hands. My arms were already burning, lungs aching, but I took position. Planted myself in front of the brother I tried to destroy. In front of the woman who changed everything.“You’re not killing him,” I said through clenched teeth. “Not today.”Victor rose slowly, blood dripping from his claws, a crooked smile peeling across his face. His fangs glinted. “So the dog finally bites the hand that raised him.”“You raised me to be a monster,” I said. “I’m done being your weapon.”He tilted his head, studying me like I was prey again. “You won’t last five seconds against me, Julian.”“Maybe,” I said. “But I only need one.”He snarled—and lunged.I barely blocked his first bl

• Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 93~

  Luca’s POV The world was burning.I heard steel clanged and saw teeth tore through flesh all around me. My claws were slick with blood—mine, theirs, I couldn’t even tell anymore. Every breath was smoke and dust and rage. I ducked a strike from a Shadow Blood wolf, spun, and drove my fist into his gut so hard he crumpled before he hit the ground.But it wasn’t his face I saw.It was Victor’s.Somewhere out there in this madness, he was waiting maybe for me, so we cen end this, once and for all. A flash of white caught my eye through the chaos. I turned just in time to see her—Aria.She cut through the battlefield like a streak of moonlight, her white wolf form a blur of snapping teeth and silver fury. She moved like the wind, but her focus was locked on him.Victor?! They clashed right there at the center of the field. For a second, I hesitated, I wanted to go and help her, but I didn't, not yet. She was strong and she had been well trained. I had to believe she could handle he

  Aria's POV I didn’t wait.Didn’t need order and sure didn't need any strategy.I charged head on for war.The battlefield was madness—flesh and fire and steel and fur—but my mind was clear. One target at a time. One threat at a time. I was done being hidden. Done being the secret in someone else’s war.A Shadow Blood warrior came at me from the side, massive brown wolf, jaws open, claws up. Too slow.I ducked under his swipe and drove into him like a blade—shoulder first, full weight. He went down hard, and I was on him before he could blink. My teeth found the side of his throat. One twist. One snap. He didn’t get back up.Another came. Screaming. Claws aimed for my belly.I twisted midair, letting his slash just graze me, and slammed into his side with both paws. We rolled through the dirt, a blur of fur and rage, and I bit down into his shoulder until I felt bone grind. He howled. I didn't stop. I tore, again and again, until he was just another shape on the bloodied grass.Breath

  Chapter 91Victor POVThe wind blew strongly across the high ridge, strong and heavy.And below, the valley stretched wide and waiting—bare of movement, thick with tension. The Blackmist border loomed in the near distance. So close I could smell it.Enough waiting.I turned from the ridge, eyes sweeping over the warriors assembled behind me. Two hundred of them. The best. Trained in fire and blood. My shadow wolves, bound by oath and fear and the quiet promise of power I had yet to unleash.They were watching me now—silent, focused, waiting for my word.I bared my teeth in a grin that held no warmth. Only hunger.“I’m done waiting,” I said, voice low but sharp enough to cut through the wind. “Every hour we waste gives them time to prepare. Time to doubt. Time to hope.”A ripple of unease moved through the front ranks. I welcomed it.“Hope,” I spat, stepping forward. “That’s what makes them weak. That’s what makes them foolish. That’s what ends tonight.”The crowd began to shift—eyes

• Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 90~

  Luca POVI stared at the maps spread across my desk, my mind still squirling with thoughts. I’d looked at this same terrain for hours, memorized every tree line, every slope. But nothing made sense today. Every route I drew ended in blood.Victor’s men weren’t just testing our borders—they were taunting us.I rubbed the heel of my hand against my temple. Sleep had been a luxury I hadn’t tasted in three days. Aria’s voice had been the only thing tethering me to sanity. Her sharp, grounded logic. Her refusal to let me spiral.But she hadn’t come by tonight. And that silence was starting to claw at my chest.A knock landed against my door, sharp and quick.“Enter,” I said, too tired to care who it was.A guard stepped in, barely able to breath like he ran a marathon to get here. “Alpha,” he said, then hesitated—like he was about to deliver a death sentence.I straightened, already on edge. “Spit it out.”He cleared his throat. “One of the East Wing warriors… Zane… he said Aria collapse

• Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 89~

  Light slipped through the curtains in lazy stripes, soft and quiet like it wasn’t supposed to be waking me. But my body had other ideas. I shifted under the blankets, trying to ignore the twist in my stomach that had been hanging around for days now. That kind of nausea that doesn’t just come and go—it lingers, waiting to catch you off guard.Today, though, it was worse. Way worse.I peeled my eyes open, blinking against the pale morning light. My body felt heavy. Sitting up was a slow, clumsy thing, and my legs threatened to give out beneath me. I grabbed the edge of the bed, steadying myself with a breath I didn’t know I was holding.Then it hit.The sickness, sharp and cruel. I barely made it to the side before doubling over, the world tilting sideways as I emptied everything I had. The sound of it felt loud in the quiet room, more raw than I expected.When it was over, I stayed there, leaning against the wall, chest shaking, trying to catch my breath. The sting at the corners of
