POV: Calista Rivers

The glass door just exploded outward like a shower of sharp ice.

Kael was a giant gray blur in the dark hallway. His heavy paws hit the clean floor tiles with loud thuds as he slammed his chest straight into the front line of the grey-armored Enforcers.

The shock-shields they held carried a bright blue current, but without the central computer grid to power them, the electrical sparks were weak.

They just fizzled against Kael’s thick gray fur like harmless bugs.

    POV: Calista RiversThe glass door just exploded outward like a shower of sharp ice.Kael was a giant gray blur in the dark hallway. His heavy paws hit the clean floor tiles with loud thuds as he slammed his chest straight into the front line of the grey-armored Enforcers. The shock-shields they held carried a bright blue current, but without the central computer grid to power them, the electrical sparks were weak. They just fizzled against Kael’s thick gray fur like harmless bugs.The Enforcers let out sharp screams of terror as the wolf’s long jaws snapped shut around their shoulder guards, throwing them against the walls like empty leather sacks."Advance!" Alpha Magnus roared, tumbling out of the dark elevator shaft behind me. His old hunting rifle was already barking in the dark room. *Bang! Bang! Bang!*The remaining forty northern wolves flooded through the ruined glass frame, their amber eyes glowed like hot coals in the thick white smoke. They did not have to worry about

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Heart of the Tower

    POV: Calista RiversWe moved fast down the new concrete tunnel. The old railway lines were taken over by smooth grey floors that looked clean enough for a hospital. Red emergency lights blinked along the curved ceiling every ten feet, casting a blood-colored glow over the eighty wolves running behind us. The air was a stark contrast to the muddy tunnels we had spent the last twenty-four hours callously navigating.Kael kept his hand firmly on my waist, practically carrying me forward as my boots skidded on the smooth floor. My empty left sleeve was pinned flat against my chest, and my broken collarbone throbbed with every single step, but there was no time to slow down. The loud sound of our running boots echoed off the walls like a volley of drums."How far to the main server room?" Kael asked as he ran."Two hundred yards" Jarek called back from the front of the line. He had dropped his old brass compass and was now holding a stolen Council tablet he had taken from a dead Enforc

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Runed Door

    The Runed DoorPOV: Calista RiversThe midnight march down the dark tunnel felt like walking into the throat of a great stone beast.We moved in total silence, it was a long line of eighty wolves walking in single file between the rusted iron rails. We left the yellow light of the station house behind and carryied only three small electric lanterns to guide our boots over the wet wooden ties. The damp air grew colder the deeper we went, the smelling of wet concrete and the greasy scent of long-dead machinery grew heavier.I walked near the front of the line, right behind Alpha Magnus. My left arm was bound tight against my ribs with a clean white cloth, keeping my broken collarbone from moving. My right hand was wrapped in a thick layer of soft gauze to protect the raw burns Dante had left behind, but I kept my fingers loose, ready for whatever lay ahead.Kael walked directly behind me. In the darkness of the tunnel, I couldn't see his face, but the thin soul-thread in my chest w

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Dark Tunnel

    POV: Calista RiversThe five logging trucks rolled down the broken back roads of the city instead of using the highways, their engines made a low rumble in the morning air. Jarek knew the old pathways that the city planners had forgotten fifty years ago. We drove through empty industrial lots, under crumbling concrete overpasses, and past abandoned brick factories where the windows were all smashed into tiny glass teeth.I sat in the front cab of the third truck this time. Alpha Magnus had ordered the driver to give me the padded seat so my broken collarbone would not take another beating from the hard wooden floorboards in the back.Kael sat right next to me in the cramped space, his long legs were pushing up against the dashboard. Even though he had wrapped a clean denim shirt over his torn bandages, I could still smell the metallic scent of his blood every time the truck heater blew warm air into our faces. He kept his right hand resting on the seat cushion between us, his fin

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   After the Storm

    After the StormPOV: Calista RiversThe morning sun felt fake. It was a bright, pale orange circle climbing up behind the tall city buildings and throwing long shadows across the bloody concrete of the pier. The gray fog was slowly melting away, but it left behind the awful smell of burnt metal, old blood, and wet ash.I sat on the rusty rear bumper of the third logging truck, wrapped in three heavy wool blankets. I was shivering so hard my teeth made a clicking sound in the quiet air. My right hand was a raw mess of blisters from grabbing Dante’s dark sword, and my left shoulder was completely dead to any feeling. The silver veins under my skin had gone dark, leaving me so tired I could barely keep my eyes open.A few feet away, Kael was working fast. He had found a clean white sheet in one of the truck cabs and was tearing it into long strips with his teeth. His own jacket was ripped to pieces, showing the deep, dark gashes on his arm where the hunting hound had bitten him hours

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Harbor Fight

    The Harbor FightPOV: Calista RiversDante Cross looked down at his hands. His expensive white gloves were completely gone, turned into black ash that floated away in the cold wind. The skin on his fingers was melted and bleeding, showing the white bone underneath. He looked up at me, his cold eyes wide with a mix of shock and hatred. He had never felt real pain before."You little monster" Dante hissed. His smooth, calm voice was gone. He sounded like a wild animal that had just been stepped on.I did not answer him. I pushed myself up from the cold concrete, my legs were shaking violently. My left shoulder was totally numb now, but the silver fire inside my veins was still boiling, keeping me from falling down. I held the silver tactical knife tight in my right hand, the cold metal shining in the gray morning light.Behind me, the iron cable finally stopped moving with a loud *clunk*. Elena’s body hit the concrete pier. She was free from the crane, but she lay completely still,

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Fragile Line

    POV: Calista RiversMy father was dying in my arms and no amount of supernatural light could fix a failing heart."Left side, Calista! Move" Kael’s voice has a panicked rasp in the dark. He shoved open an heavy metal fire door at the back of the depot and his shoulder dented the steel as he forced

    POV: Calista RiversThe maintenance ladder was greasy with industrial grease and decades of subterranean condensation. My ribs constantly throbbing with every vertical step; that was such a reminder of the shadow-thrall’s impact. I clamped my teeth down on my lower lip while using the physical pai

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   Into the Deep Bedrock

    POV: Calista RiversI kept my flashlight pointed at the ground. One wrong step here meant a shattered ankle, and I couldn't afford to be a liability. Not tonight. Not when my father was waiting at the end of this line."We are directly beneath the Chelsea sector," Kael said. He hadn't slowed down.
