    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 Iron Charge

    The Iron ChargePOV: Calista RiversAlpha Magnus did not say a word. He just nodded his head in the dark truck bed. He reached out with his hand and hit the metal wall of the cab three times. *Thud. Thud. Thud.* It was the signal.Up front, our driver slammed his foot down on the gas pedal. The engine of the logging truck roared back to life with a loud, angry scream. The gears ground together hard, and the big vehicle lunged forward, throwing all twenty of us back against the wooden floorboards.Behind us, the other four logging trucks started their engines too. The heavy rumbling sound shook the entire concrete pier like a small earthquake."Hold on to something" Kael yelled over the noise of the motors.He threw his arms around my waist and pinned my back flat against his solid chest. He tucked his head over mine to protect me from the flying splinters. I grabbed the edge of a heavy wooden bench with my good right hand. I locked my knees tight, and braced my body for the impact

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Midnight March

    POV: Calista RiversOutside, the midnight air made me almost freeze. A cold mist hanging low over the mountain valley, and hiding the movements of the pack as we prepared to leave the camp. Nobody spoke. The only sounds were the soft clinking of iron spears, the sliding of gun barrels into leather holsters and the heavy breathing of three hundred hungry wolves.I stood near the edge of the clearing to wrap a dry wool blanket tight around my chest with my good right arm. My left shoulder was totally numb now, I was beginning to have a heavy ache that pulsed with every beat of my heart. I had used too much magic during the battle at the wall, and my human cells felt like they were made of dry glass. One wrong move, and I felt like I would break into pieces.Kael walked up behind me. He was fully dressed in a dark combat jacket that Elena’s scouts had left in the cabin. The deep cuts on his arm from the hunting hound were tightly bound with white cloth, but I could see dark spots of

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Council's price

    POV: Calista RiversThe smoke from the burning drone was very thick and black. It rolled across the muddy ground of the camp, and made my eyes burn and my throat feel dry. I kept my right hand buried deep in Kael’s gray fur. The wolf was still breathing hard and his chest was rising and falling ag

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Valley Wall

    POV: Calista RiversThe first big explosion hit the top of the stone wall above us with a giant roar. *BOOM!*The ground shook hard under my muddy boots. The blast knocked two young wolves flat into the dirt. A massive shower of sharp rocks, burning wood, and thick black smoke rained down right in

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Hidden Camp

    POV: Calista RiversThe mountain trail never seemed to end. The wet mud sucked at the bottoms of my boots, trying to pull me down into the cold earth with every single step. My left shoulder was a knot of pure agony. The tight bandages Elena had wrapped around my chest felt like an iron band that

  • BLOOD MOON REDEMPTION   The Northern Trail

    POV: Calista RiversJarek turned around without waiting to see if we were following him. He walked along the narrow concrete ledge, his long wool coat flapping against his boots like a dark sail. Kael looked down at me, his silver eyes still scanning my face for any signs of collapse. He reached d
