Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 78 : SHIFTING WORLDS!
Night came fast.It has been doing so a lot lately, like the sun had somewhere else more urgent to be. The last light bled slowly behind the trees, stretching the shadows long across the hollow. Fires flickered to life in small, scattered pits, they weren't large or too bright. Just enough for warmth.Luca sat across from me, sharpening one of Revik’s spare daggers with a piece of rough stone. His fingers moved in a rhythm that was more habit than need. His brows furrowed in concentration, but the tension in his shoulders gave him away.He was still in pain. Still pretending he wasn’t.“You don’t have to do that,” I said softly.“I know,” he murmured, not looking up. “Helps me think.”“What’re you thinking about?”“Nothing helpful.”The stone scraped again.I pulled my legs beneath me, hugging them close to keep the cold from creeping into my bones. A small fire danced between us, its glow painting Luca’s face in warm gold and deep shadow. For a moment, I just watched him, the hollow
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 77 : A KIND OF QUIET!
MIRA'S POVThe cold bit deeper just before dawn.I tugged the thin shawl tighter around my shoulders and glanced back at the cave we’d used for the night, if it could be called a cave. It was barely more than a crack in the mountain, one that let in more wind than warmth. Damp, narrow, and echoing with the soft coughs of the injured. But it had been something. A place to breathe, if only for a night.Now, we had to move.Revik’s voice cut through the half-light. “Time to go. We don’t stay still longer than we need to.”No one argued.Even the youngest rogues—the boy with ash-blond hair and the girl who barely spoke—were already gathering what little they had. Most of us didn’t carry more than a pack. Some, like me, carried nothing at all.Luca stood near the cave mouth, hood drawn low, one hand pressed subtly to his other arm. His wound had reopened again last night. I’d seen the way he flinched when he thought no one was watching.Of course, I was watching.He caught me looking and

My voice broke. “Back there, when you fell... I couldn’t breathe, Luca. I couldn’t... I don’t know what I would’ve done.”He turned, pulling me gently closer with his uninjured arm. “You’re not going to lose me. Not now. Not ever. You and I—we’re going to make it.”“You promise?”He leaned his forehead to mine. “With everything I have.”I felt the warmth of his breath, the heat in his skin, even beneath the cold of the cave. The pain in his body didn’t matter in that moment. All that existed was us. In the silence of the cave, with the scent of moss and earth around us, we were just two people trying to survive.“I don’t want to keep running,” I murmured. “I want to stop, breathe, build something.”“We will,” he said softly. “Just not yet.”“Yeah. Not yet.”I pulled a blanket from the pack we carried and draped it around both of us, curling into his side. His arm tightened around me, and I closed my eyes to the rhythmic beat of his heart. Steady, even now.I didn’t know what tomorrow
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 75 : LET SOMEONE ELSE BE THE HERO!
I caught him before he fell completely. My hands found his side. Blood."No, no, no…"Revik tackled the third hunter before he could fire again, slamming his head into a rock. Everything went silent again. But I didn’t hear it. I could only feel the heat of Luca’s blood against my palm."It’s not silver," he rasped, smiling through the pain. "Lucky you. I get to suffer longer.""Shut up," I choked out, tears falling. "Don’t joke. Please."The rogues surrounded us, tense, scanning the woods."We need to move," Revik said. "Now. There could be more."They helped me lift Luca. He was barely conscious. I held him against me as we ran. The trees blurred. My chest burned.We didn’t stop until we found another small clearing by a stream, miles away.That night, I cleaned his wound. My hands shook so hard I could barely hold the cloth. The bullet had gone clean through, missing anything vital, but it hurt to see him like that."Hey," he whispered, eyes fluttering open. "You’re shaking.""Of c
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 74 : MERELY A BREATH!
Later that night, under the whispering trees and the slumbering stars, Luca and I curled into each other in our lean-to. I pressed my face to his chest, letting the sound of his heartbeat ground me. His arms wrapped tight around me, his breath warm against my hair.It was peaceful, but for how long?I was no fortune teller, but the peace didn't last till the next morning. We were woken by urgent footsteps and Revik’s sharp voice slicing through the crisp morning air.“Get up. Now.”Luca and I scrambled upright, hearts pounding. “What’s happening?” I asked, shoving on my boots.“Alexa’s scouts were spotted near the southern ridge,” Revik snapped. “Too many. We've been running from them for a while now, we can't let them catch up to us. Especially now you're with us.”The camp was alive with sudden motion—fires snuffed out, gear packed, traps dismantled. The children were already being lifted onto shoulders, bags slung across backs, bows and knives clutched tight.“We leave in ten,” Rev
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 73 : YOU ARE ONE OF US!
I feared what his response would be.Would he ask us to help him take revenge? Would he eventually discover the power I held and want to take it from me too? My mind was playing some dirty tricks on me.Revik’s lips curled into a wry smile. “You hunt with us. You move with us. You earn your place like everyone else. That’s the rule. We have no Alphas here, no betas, no titles. Only fighters.”I nodded slowly, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding, heart thudding. “We’ll do our part.”“Good,” he said, already turning away. “You’ll start tonight. You hunt what you eat. And if you hear the howls…” His voice dropped, serious now. “You run.”Luca and I spent the rest of the day learning the rhythm of the camp—how food was rationed, how lookouts rotated hourly, how even the children were trained in stealth and silence. The rogues weren’t savage. They were just... wary. Hardened by betrayal, shaped by fear.In the afternoon, I helped a woman named Lani mend a torn tent. She didn’t
