Chapter: Chapter 36: Love on Borrowed TimeI stare at the open planner in front of me, the word "wedding" scrawled in gold ink like it's a fairytale.My hand trembles slightly as I write down the florist’s number.I should be happy.I should be dancing in place, calling Kattie with excited squeals, and trying on dresses like a dreamer.Instead, I feel like I’m lying to a man who loves me completely.Lucas hums in the kitchen, making breakfast like it’s his personal love language.Ethan laughs in the living room, yelling about missing socks and orange juice.I sip my coffee and pretend I don’t feel like a fraud.Lucas returns with a smile and kisses my cheek like I’m his whole future.“You’ve been quiet,” he says, brushing my shoulder.I lie again. “Just wedding nerves.”He smiles wider and presses a kiss to my forehead. “You’ve got this.”I wish I believed that.The truth about Ethan claws at my chest like a buried ghost screaming for air.I write in my journal every night, half hoping the ink will swallow the guilt.Lucas is

Chapter: Chapter 35: Celebration and SilenceI stood by the glass wall in the office, my ring catching the sunlight like it had its little heartbeat.When I turned, all eyes were on me.“I said yes,” I whispered.There was a pause—like the moment before a balloon bursts.Then came the cheers.Marcy squealed first. Michael clapped. Sharon gasped and threw her hands in the air.Ms. Morris walked up to me with tears in her eyes.She pulled me into a tight hug.“You deserve this, Sophie,” she whispered. “You deserve to be loved like that.”I smiled.Because I hadn’t told him.Because I was still hiding Ethan’s truth.Because the ring on my finger came with a weight in my chest.Lucas sent me a message: “Lunch at our spot?”I texted back: “Yes. Can’t wait.”Ethan danced around the kitchen that night when I told him.“You’re going to marry Lukey?” he shouted.“Yeah, sweetheart,” I said, laughing. “I think we’re ready.”He hugged me so tight I felt my ribs press together.He didn’t call him Lukey this time.He said, “I’m so happy you’r

Chapter: Chapter 34: The Rooftop and the Ring"Close your eyes, Sophie." I raised a brow, half-smiling. "Lucas, if this ends in a bird swooping at my face, I swear on my life that I'm throwing you off this rooftop." He chuckled low behind me. I could feel the warmth of his palms as he closed over my eyes. "It won't. I promise. No birds. Just… trust me." And strangely, I did. The wind hummed against my skin, cold and unchanging as we climbed the final steps. I could tell by the resonance of our footsteps and the change in air pressure that we were high—rooftop high. Familiar. "This is like déjà vu," I whispered as he urged me forward, slow and careful. "Because it is," he whispered back. "Now… open." I opened my eyes. And gasped. The rooftop was different. Dozens of small candles burned in a huge ring, casting a warm circle around one small table with two chairs and a platter of chocolate-dipped strawberries—my favorite, though I'd never voiced it out loud. Fairy lights strung along the railing, reflecting up

Chapter: Chapter 33: Firsts and Fireworks"Be careful, baby," I yelled, trying not to sound as panicked as Ethan sprinted towards the edge of the lawn. "Don't run with it pointed like that!" "It's not even lit yet, Mom!" he yelled back, waving the unlit sparkler wildly. "Lucas said it only works with magic." "Magic?" I raised a brow and turned to Lucas, who was grinning behind me like a proud, mischievous uncle. Or… something more. He shrugged, his eyes glinting. "Magic. And a lighter." I rolled my eyes, but my smile betrayed me. Lucas had appeared that morning with one arm full of groceries and the other full of a pack of fireworks. "It's Independence Day," he'd said at the door. "We're celebrating." It had been years since I permitted myself to acknowledge a holiday. They were loud, chaotic things built around people who had the luxury of comfort, of laughter, of tradition. But Lucas didn't invite. He simply made space for celebration—and expected I would attend. And I did. --- Ethan shrieked as Lucas c

Chapter: Chapter 32: Father in the Frame"Why is your desk a museum?" I taunted, grinning half-heartedly, as I entered Lucas's office that afternoon. My heels clicked on the shiny floor, but my heart was what reverberated. Lucas looked up at his laptop, a smile on his lips that was so warm, so genuine, it made things inside me twist. "I added something new," he said, leaning back toward the distant wall behind him. I turned. And I saw it. Spread out on flat black wood and tangled in white trim was a crayon drawing. The very same that Ethan made weeks ago—three lopsided grin stick figures: one with a ponytail (me), one with curls (Lucas), and one with crazy yellow hair (Ethan). Under it, in messy, childish print, the words: My family. My breath caught. "You… framed it?" I whispered. Lucas stood up and walked over to stand beside me against the wall. He crossed his arms over his chest, eyes soft. "It means more to me than any contract or award this company's offered me." I clenched my fists, swallowed hard. "It's just

Chapter: Chapter 31: Weekend Traditions"Can I ride in Lucas's car this time?" Ethan's yell came from the doorway, booming and anticipatory. He had his jacket half-zipped, flapping behind him, a shoe untied, and his backpack sloppily slung over one shoulder. I blinked at him from the kitchen, where coffee was steaming in my cup. "Why? What's wrong with my car?" “Nothing,” he said innocently, “but Lucas plays better music. And his seats are warm.” Lucas, who had just walked in behind him with grocery bags in both hands, laughed softly. “I’ve been dethroned by seat warmers and pop playlists. I’ll take it.” I gave Ethan a mock glare, then turned to Lucas. “This was supposed to be my drop-off day.” "And I just thought I'd pick up donuts on the way," he said easily, setting the bags down. "Extra sprinkles for a certain third grader." "Best. Day. Ever," Ethan bellowed. I groaned, but it wasn't frustration. It was something else—something deeper and something more perilous. The kind of sigh that escapes when life starts han

Chapter: Chapter 236: The Mourning MoonThe sanctuary of the Last Moon lay bathed in pale light, its marble stones cold beneath the weight of countless pawsteps. Wolves of every kind—light-furred, dark-eyed, and even golden-eyed Eclipse Wolves—moved through the great halls in tense silence. Above them, the Rebirth Moon hung swollen and bruised, casting the world in a sorrowful glow. Liora stood alone in the heart of the Sanctuary, staring at the massive stone doors to Caelum’s tomb. Her brother’s name was carved in deep, swirling runes: Caelum Vaelaris—Shadow King. Redeemed in Light. Her fingers brushed the letters. “Why didn’t I save you sooner?” she whispered. “Why didn’t I see how deep Vaelor’s claws had sunk?” “You couldn’t have,” said a gentle voice behind her. It was Selene, her once-rival, now her fiercest ally. The Eclipse Wolves had expected her to hate Selene for helping Caelum, but instead, Selene be stood beside Liora after the war, tending the wounded and holding back the factions threatening to break th

Chapter: Chapter 235: The Rebirth MoonThe battlefield lay in ruin. Where once there had been chaos—wolves clashing, the air thick with smoke and screams—there was now only silence. The ground was scorched, the grass blackened to ash. Pools of gold and ink shimmered faintly in the cracked soil where light and shadow had warred. At the center stood Liora, her knees sinking into the earth, her fingers slick with her brother’s blood. Or perhaps it wasn’t blood at all—just motes of silver and black, slipping through her hands like dying stars. The Rebirth Moon hung above, its cracked surface weeping beams of white light that painted the ruins in an ethereal glow. Liora lifted her tear-streaked face toward the heavens. “Mother…” Scene 1: Iris Descends One Last Time Light split the clouds. Iris appeared—not as the goddess she had been, but as the mother she once was. Her simple white dress fluttered in a wind that carried no sound, and her silver hair drifted like threads of moonlight. “My daughter,” Iris whispere

Chapter: Chapter 234: The Twin EclipseThe sky burned.As the sun and moon locked into an unnatural embrace, the heavens split in two—half bathed in golden brilliance, the other swallowed in suffocating shadow. Red light spilled across the battlefield, staining fur and stone alike as the scent of ash and blood mingled in the air.Below, wolves clashed in a frenzy of fang and claw—light against shadow, brother against sister, father against son. The once-lush fields of the Sanctuary had become a graveyard of shattered dreams.At the center of it all, Caelum and Liora faced one another.His black armor smoked where golden light had scorched it. Her ivory tunic was torn, streaked crimson where his shadows had bitten deep.And yet neither lowered their gaze. Scene 1: Opening Salvos“You don’t have to do this,” Liora said, her voice breaking. She tightened her grip on her blade of pure moonlight. “You’re still my brother. I can save you.”“Save me?” Caelum’s laugh was hollow, almost human, but beneath it slithered Vaelor’s voi

Chapter: Chapter 233: The Hollow Sun The sky burned gold.Liora stood on the edge of the obsidian cliffs, the roar of the wind in her ears as she gazed down at the valley below. From here, the world looked like it was on fire. Thousands of Solar Wolves circled a vast ritual site carved into the earth itself—a colossal sun sigil glowing molten yellow. Their howls blended into a chilling chant, vibrating the very stones beneath her paws.“They’re nearly done,” Selene whispered beside her, her white fur stained with soot and streaks of blood. “If they succeed in summoning Solis fully, this world will burn.”Liora clenched her fists. She could feel her own power trembling under her skin, caught between light and shadow, as though the Moon herself was preparing for war.“I’ll stop them,” she murmured. “Even if I have to burn with them.” Scene 1: The Shadows SpeakBefore she could leap, the air around her thickened. Shadows twisted like ink in water until a figure emerged.“Lyra,” Liora breathed.The soul of the once-Queen of

Chapter: Chapter 232: Flames of BetrayalScene 1: Ashes in the WindThe horizon burned.Liora stood at the Sanctuary’s high balcony, the cold mountain wind clawing at her cloak, carrying the bitter stench of ash and blood. Far to the south, the sky glowed orange—like a wound torn open in the world’s flesh.“Supreme Luna!”A young scout burst into the room, his paws still wet with dew and soot. “The Solar Wolves,” he gasped, panting heavily. “They’ve struck Crescent Hollow. The village is gone.”“Gone?” Liora’s voice was quiet, too quiet.“They left survivors,” the scout said, trembling. “A message: Bow to Solis or burn.”Selene strode into the chamber, her golden fur bristling with restrained fury. “We warned you, Liora. Solan’s ambition would scorch the world if left unchecked. But you waited—and now look.”Liora turned sharply, her glowing eyes flashing with shadow and light. “Do not mistake caution for weakness. A war will kill more than it saves.”“And yet,” Selene hissed, stepping closer, “this is war. You just refuse t

Chapter: Chapter 231: Shadows Beneath the LightScene 1: Council of Uneasy Peace The Council Hall of the Sanctuary was built on sacred ground—carved from the bones of the ancient forest, ringed in silverstone that glimmered faintly beneath the fractured moonlight streaming through its arched windows. Yet tonight, the glow seemed dimmer. Twenty Alphas sat around the obsidian table, their fur bristling and eyes flashing. On the far side, Solan, leader of the Solar Wolves, stood tall, golden fur radiant in the torchlight. His amber gaze held the calm intensity of a sun about to rise. “You ask us to kneel, Supreme Luna,” Solan said, his voice smooth but edged like a blade. “But the moon is waning. The sun burns brighter every day. Perhaps the packs should look to Solis for guidance.” A murmur swept the room. Opposite him, a massive Shadow Alpha, Thorne of the Eclipse Wolves, growled low in his throat. “Your flames scorched the Southern Plains! You speak of guidance while your wolves torch our hunting grounds?” “Enough!” Lio
