CHAPTER 39

Nyra’s POV

The night everything finally breaks begins in silence, the kind of silence that does not bring peace but warns of something waiting just beneath the surface, something sharp and inevitable, something that has been coming for far too long

I feel it before I see it

That shift in the air

That quiet tension crawling beneath my skin like a warning I cannot ignore

I stand at the edge of the fortress balcony, staring out into the darkness where the forest stretches endlessly, whe

    CHAPTER 40Nyra’s POVI finally come face to face with the man who destroyed my entire life and the worst part is that he looks at me like I am nothing more than a mistake he forgot to finishThe battlefield around us is still alive with chaos, bodies colliding, wolves shifting, the sound of metal and bone breaking filling the air, yet none of it reaches me the way it should because my entire world has narrowed to one personElder MagnusHe stands there untouched by the violence, calm in a way that feels unnatural, like war is something beneath him, like all of this destruction is simply a game he already knows he will winMy grip tightens around my blade as something dark rises inside me, something that has been building for years, something that has been waiting for this exact moment“You should have stayed hidden,” he says, his voice smooth, almost disappointed, like I failed to meet his expectationsA bitter laugh rises in my throat before I can stop it“You should have made sure

    CHAPTER 38Nyra’s POVThe moment the last of them steps back, the air does not settle the way it should after a fight, instead it tightens around us like something unseen is still watching, still waiting, and I feel it deep in my bones that this is not the end of anything, it is only a pause, the kind that comes right before something worse begins.My chest rises slowly as I try to steady my breathing, but the power inside me has not faded, it lingers beneath my skin like heat that refuses to cool, like something alive that has finally found a way out and does not intend to be buried again.I do not like it.I do not understand it.And that alone makes it dangerous.“Nyra,” Kael’s voice comes from behind me, closer than before, quieter but heavier, and I feel his presence before I even turn, strong and steady in a way that pulls at something inside me that I do not want to name.I do not face him immediately.Instead I keep my eyes on the enforcers as they begin to retreat, not in pan

  • A Packless Luna   CHAPTER 37

    CHAPTER 37Nyra’s POVThe weakness does not take me the way they expect it to, it does not break me or force me to my knees, but it settles into my body like something cold and deliberate, something designed to slow me down just enough to make me easier to control, and that alone tells me everything I need to know about the people who sent them, because this is not about killing me quickly or ending the fight cleanly, this is about taking me piece by piece until I have nothing left to fight with, I refuse to give them that.My breath comes slower now, heavier, but steadier than it was a moment ago because I force it to be, I force my body to adjust, to adapt, to survive the way it always has, and even as the strange weight presses against my chest, I feel something else beneath it, something quieter but stronger, something that does not disappear just because they tried to suppress it.My wolf does not go silent.It watches It waits. And so do IThe enforcers close in again, their fo

  • A Packless Luna   CHAPTER 36

    CHAPTER 36Nyra’s POVThey come at me all at once, not reckless, not wild, but controlled in a way that makes my instincts scream louder than any blade ever could, because this is not chaos, this is design, this is a cage closing in from every side with no wasted movement and no room left to escape if I hesitate even for a second.I do not hesitate.The first strike comes from my left, sharp and precise, aimed to pin me in place instead of cut me down, and I twist out of it just in time, my blade rising to meet the second attack already coming from the front, the impact sending a shock through my arm that I refuse to let slow me down.They are not holding back anymore.Neither am I.I move faster, letting instinct take over, letting my body react before my mind can even form the thought, because thinking too long in a moment like this is how you lose, how you get caught, how you become exactly what they want you to be.Taken.The word burns through me again, sharper now, stronger, pus

  • A Packless Luna   CHAPTER 35

    CHAPTER 35Nyra’s POVThe word stays in my head long after the soldier’s body hits the ground, echoing in a way that refuses to fade, because there is a difference between being hunted and being taken, but there is an even greater difference between being taken and being returned, and that single word tells me something I cannot ignore no matter how much I want to push it away, Returned means I belong somewhere.Returned means someone believes I was theirs to begin with.And I hate that more than anything.“They think I am theirs,” I say quietly, my voice steady even though something deeper is starting to shift under my skin, something I do not fully understand but cannot ignore anymore.Kael stands beside me, his gaze still on the battlefield, sharp and calculating, but I can feel it, the tension in him, the way his focus keeps pulling back to me no matter how hard he tries to stay on the fight.“They are wrong,” he says.I let out a slow breath. “We do not know that.”His head turn
