The Abandoned Luna's Return
Elara Vance was the "human defect" of the Blood Moon Pack, a nameless clerk who endured twenty-one years of mockery for her inability to shift. Her life is systematically dismantled when her mate, Alpha Fenris, publicly rejects her during their mating ceremony. To add to the cruelty, he claims Elara’s younger sister, Sarah, whose legendary white wolf shift is hailed as the pack’s new salvation. Disowned by her father and hunted into the Black Woods by those she once served, Elara is forced into the lethal Silver River.
However, the river does not claim her. She is rescued by Silas Vane, the enigmatic Shadow King, who reveals a terrifying truth: Elara isn't a wolf at all. She is the last scion of the Vespera, a primordial race of dragons who ruled the world long before the Moon Goddess birthed the first werewolf. The wolves didn’t reject her because she was weak; they rejected her because their predatory instincts feared her as their natural superior.
Driven by a thirst for justice, Elara returns to the Blood Moon coronation not as a victim, but as a reckoning. Using the awakened Vespera Heart, she shatters the Alpha’s power, dissolves the pack’s very existence, and brands Fenris and Sarah with the "Mark of the Outcast"—stripping them of their wolves forever.
Transforming into a massive, obsidian-scaled dragon, Elara claims the northern territories for the Shadow Throne. But her vengeance is only the beginning. As the Western Packs mass their armies to extinguish the dragon fire, Elara and Silas must navigate a world of shifting alliances and ancient secrets. The age of the wolf has reached its bloody twilight, and a new era of shadow and flame has begun.

Chapter: The Moon’s AssassinThe white lightning hit me like a runaway train.I expected to die. I expected my soul to be ripped apart. But as the bolt touched my chest, the Vespera Heart necklace flared. It swallowed the lightning whole, turning the white light into a deep, angry purple.The warrior in silver armor tilted his head, his helmet glowing with a cold, ghostly light. "A Vespera that can eat divine lightning? You truly are a pest that refuses to stay dead.""Who are you?" I gasped, struggling to stand. My skin felt like it was on fire, and my wings were twitching uncontrollably."I am a Sentinel of the Pale Moon," the warrior said, stepping over the cowering wolves as if they were nothing but ants. "Your kind stole the fire of the stars. My job is to take it back."Silas moved before the warrior could take another step. He didn't use a sword; he turned into a blur of pure shadow, slamming into the Sentinel with enough force to level a building. The sound of shadow hitting silver was like a mountain col

Chapter: The Price of LoyaltyThe heavy oak doors echoed as they slammed shut, cutting off Sarah’s last scream. The silence that followed was even louder. It pressed against the ears of every wolf remaining in the room.I stood on the dais, looking down at the "High Wolves" who were still frozen on their knees. They looked like statues of terror. A few minutes ago, they were drinking champagne and celebrating my misery. Now, they didn't even dare to breathe."Stand up," I said. My voice was calm, but it cut through the room like a blade.They scrambled to their feet, stumbling over each other. My father, the man who had traded me for a "pure" daughter, stayed slumped in his chair. He looked a hundred years older. His eyes were vacant, staring at the spot on the floor where Fenris had just been humiliated."The Blood Moon is dead," I reminded them, walking to the edge of the stage. "But your lives don't have to be. Silas?"The Shadow King stepped out from the darkness behind me. He didn't say a word, but the air in

Chapter: The Shadow King’s MoveThe ballroom was a sea of chaos. Some wolves were trying to flee through the side exits, only to find the shadows themselves blocking the doors, weaving into solid walls of darkness. Silas remained at the edge of the circle, his arms crossed, watching me with a look of terrifying, predatory pride."The challenge is complete, Elara," he said, his baritone voice cutting through the whimpering. "The Alpha is broken. The pack is yours by right of conquest. What is your command? Shall we burn the house down with them inside?"I looked at Fenris, who had shifted back into a naked, shivering man on the floor, his pride stripped away. I looked at Sarah, who was still trying to scrape frosting off her dress, her eyes darting around like a trapped rat."I don't want this pack," I announced. A collective gasp went up from the elders. "The Blood Moon is a pack of cowards and sycophants. You followed Fenris when he was cruel, and you would follow me because you are afraid. I won't lead those who o

Chapter: The Sister's Price"Guards! Are you all cowards?" Sarah shrieked, her voice reaching a frantic, hysterical pitch. She snatched a ceremonial silver dagger from the wedding altar. Her white dress was stained with the wine of her broken glass, making her look like a blood-splattered ghost. "She’s using witchcraft! She’s a monster! Kill her!"The guards shifted uncomfortably. Their eyes darted between Sarah and the Shadow King standing by the door. No one moved. They could feel the power radiating off me—a heat that made their own wolves want to curl up and hide."I said kill her!" Sarah rushed at me herself, the silver blade raised high. She had always been the 'perfect' one, the sister with the pure-white wolf. But as she swung the blade, I caught her wrist.The heat from my mark flared. Sarah’s silk sleeve caught fire—a violet, smokeless flame that didn't burn her skin, but made her scream in agony as it scorched her very soul."The white wolf," I whispered, leaning into her ear as she struggled. "Does i

Chapter: The Shattered Altar"You want a fight, Elara?" Fenris roared, the sound vibrating through the marrow of my bones. His face was no longer that of the man I loved; it was a mask of desperate, cornered rage. "I gave you a chance to run! I gave you a chance to crawl away with your life! Now, I’ll end this properly!"The ballroom air crackled as he began to shift. It wasn't the graceful transformation of a leader; it was a sickening symphony of forced evolution. Bones snapped, popping like dry kindling. Skin tore and reformed in a blur of black fur. Within seconds, a massive black wolf with eyes like molten gold stood where my fiancé had been. He lunged, a ton of muscle and predatory fury aimed straight at my throat."Elara, move!" Silas’s voice was a whip-crack behind me. He didn't step in. He didn't throw a shadow. He knew this was my blood-debt to settle.I didn't move. I didn't even breathe. As the wolf’s jaws snapped inches from my face, I raised my hand—the one marked by the thorned moon."Kneel."The w

Chapter: The Shadow's Mercy"I can’t do this, Silas! My body isn't built for this!"I gasped for air, my back hitting the cold stone floor of the training hall for the tenth time in an hour. My lungs felt like they were filled with crushed glass, and my muscles screamed in protest.Silas stood over me, not a single hair out of place, his violet eyes tracking my every movement. "Your body is exactly what it needs to be. Your mind is the problem. You still think like a rejected omega. You’re waiting for a pack to tell you you're allowed to stand up.""I was never trained to fight!" I snapped, wiping sweat and blood from my brow. "In the Blood Moon, the unshifted are kept in the kitchens or the archives. I was a clerk, Silas! Not a soldier!""And look where that got you," he retorted, his voice cold and sharp. "Betrayed by your blood and discarded like trash. Do you think Sarah is practicing her embroidery right now? No. She’s practicing her 'Luna' walk. She’s picking out the flowers for the wedding she stole from
