Beneath The Moon's Bite Chapter 10
LUCAThe cavern was a giant, gaping mouth of stone, and I was standing on its tongue.Torches flickered on the walls, throwing wild shadows, all around, on ledges and balconies carved from the rock, were the Kindred Rogues. Hundreds of them. Men, women, their eyes reflecting the firelight, watching me in complete silence. They smelled of pine, wet earth, and a wild, untamed magic.In the center of the cavern floor was a wide circle drawn in pale, glowing dust. That was where I stood, the Moon Trial ring.Kael, the rogue leader, stood just outside the circle. He was a big man with scars across his face. “The circle is charged with lunar ash.” he said, his voice echoing.“It will amplify what is in you, if you are what you claim to be, the moon’s power will answer, you will make the ash glow with your own light, you have until the moon reaches the shaft above.” He pointed upward.High in the cavern roof, a narrow shaft was cut, a perfect beam of cold, white moonlight shone straight do
Beneath The Moon's Bite Chapter 9
RAFE'S POVThe cell was exactly what I thought it would be.Stone, damp and cold, chains thick and silver-laced, bolted to the wall, clasped tight around my wrists. The smell of mildew, stale water, and my own blood.My left eye was swollen, nearly shut from the guard’s fist, my ribs ached with every breath, but the pain was just light, the only thing that mattered was the bond.It was still there, a steady and humming warmth in my chest, Luca was alive. He was scared, but alive. I focused on it, letting it feed my anger, using the anger to burn through the cold and the hurt.They’d thrown me in here hours ago, after the fight in the tunnels. I’d taken three of Caleb’s goons down before a fourth got a lucky hit with a silver-weighted club. The world had gone dark, and I’d woken up here.The door was solid iron, with a small slot at the bottom for food. No window. The only light came from a flickering torch somewhere down the hall, casting weak, dancing bars of orange through the grat

LUCA'S POV“He’ll be back.” she said, her voice sad and fragile. “He doesn’t give up, he would use Rafe as a bargaining chip, they always use what you love most."“He wants to use me to kill his own father.” I said, the reality of settling strangely in my brain. It wasn’t about revolution, it was about patricide.“He wants to use you to take power.” she corrected. “Cain is just the obstacle in his way.” She turned to me, her expression grim. “The trial they have for you tomorrow… it’s real, the Kindred Rogues revere the old myths they’ll test your connection to the moon… If you prove it, they’ll protect you as a living relic. If you fail…”“I’m Caleb’s property.” I finished. The word tasted like dirt.“Do you know why you couldn't sense your alpha?" she asked, changing the conversation.“No, I don't mom.” I replied honestly.“It happens when your emotions are high, when you feel a connection strongly, and want to speak through it.” Her eyes were knowing, like she understood what I
Beneath The Moon's Bite Chapter 7
LUCA'S POVThe cell was not what I thought it would be.It was a round room, like a stone well, with a trail of moonlight slipping down from high above.I woke up on a thin mattress, my body was still hurting from the dart, and my head felt thick with pain. But the bond in my chest was still there, a quiet signal linked to Rafe.I pushed up to sit alright, when I heard a very familiar voice that I thought was dead.“You’re awake.”I scrambled back forcefully, scared that I was hallucinating, when she stepped into the light. She was skinny, her clothes hanging loose. Her hair was a mess of black and silver.But her eyes… they were my eyes. Grey, and glowing faintly, eyes that I never forget anyway.My breath seized, and my sight blurred with disbelief. “But you’re dead….” I stammered.Her smile was sad. “I know.”“Mom?” The word sounded strange in my mouth.She nodded, a tear flowing through the dirt on her cheek, she didn’t come closer.“How?” I whispered.“The rogues didn’t kill me,
Beneath The Moon's Bite Chapter 6
Rafe's PovMy wolf wanted to howl. It wanted to tear, to break, to sink its teeth into something and not let go.The silence after the rogues took Luca was worse than the fight. It was loud ringing sharply in my ears, a cold dread filled my heart, where the bond had been. But I could still feel him a thin, silent drag pulling northeast but it felt fragile and stretched.The river washed the blood from my shoulder but couldn’t touch the fury. I crouched, snatching the silver dart from the mud, its tip was coated with silver Wolfsbane, not for killing but for capture.“Rafe.”Zayne called as he stepped out from the tree line, his voice sounded hoarse,and there was a fresh cut above his brow.His eyes swept the clearing, the dart in my hand his face twitched, but he didn’t ask, he already knew.“Kindred Rogues.” He said, nodding his head sadly. “They are the marked ones, Rafe, they don’t hunt for sport. They hunt for power.”“They took him.” My voice sounded strange, it was filled with
Beneath The Moon's Bite Chapter 5
RAFEThe forest had never felt so loud.Each crunch beneath my boots was a threat, and every rustle of leaves screamed a warning. I kept glancing over my shoulder, my instincts screaming at me that we were being followed even though we hadn’t seen anyone since we left my house.Luca walked a step ahead, his hood was pulled low, and his shoulders seemed tense. The moonlight made his hair glow silver, he didn’t speak, but I could hear his heartbeat, fast, uneven and matching mine.I wanted to reach for his hand, to ground us both. But that wasn’t an option anymore, not with the way our scents had changed.We reeked of bond.It clung to us....faint, but wrong and different. Anyone with a nose would notice it soon, and once they did, we were dead.Zayne’s sudden return hadn’t helped. He trudged behind us now, silent as a shadow. His presence gnawed at me, it felt alive, changed and haunting.He hadn’t said much when we left, just that we needed to move, and fast.Now, I couldn’t stop thin
