“Alpha, he left something behind.”

The scout’s urgent words cut through the night air like a blade. I stood at the border line, boots sunk into the soft earth, my chest still heaving from the chase. The rogue’s scent lingered, sharp, foreign, and deliberate. My wolves formed a tight ring around the spot, their massive forms casting long shadows under the moon. The preserve felt too quiet now, like it was holding its breath right along with me.

I crouched down and brushed dirt off the smal

  • Blood of the forgotten moon   Chaoter 21: Seven Rogues

    “Stay close to me.”Riven’s voice was low and urgent as he grabbed my arm and pulled me through the hallway. His grip was firm, his body tense with purpose. I didn’t fight him. I ran beside him, my heart slamming against my ribs as the estate erupted into action around us.The pack mobilized faster and harder this time. Shouts echoed down the corridors. Wolves shifted in the courtyard with sharp cracks of bone and growls that vibrated through the floors. Doors slammed. Orders flew sharp and precise. Everything moved with a speed and intensity I hadn’t seen before. The air felt alive with urgency, but not the chaotic fear I grew up with. This was focused. Controlled. Deadly.Riven didn’t send me to the observation tower like last time. He brought me straight to the inner estate’s secure hall. Thea and Hazel were already waiting inside. He pushed me through the heavy door, his eyes hard with focus. “Stay here. Don’t leave this room no matter what you hear.”Then he was gone, the door s

  • Blood of the forgotten moon   Chapter 20: The Amber-Eyed Man

    “You know that name.”I stared at Sable across my desk, the words coming out low and rough. My heart pounded hard in my chest as I watched her face for any sign of fear. The study felt smaller than it ever had, the fire in the hearth crackling softly but doing nothing to ease the heavy tension that filled every corner of the room. She sat there looking back at me with steady eyes, her hands resting on her thighs.“Yes,” she said quietly. “I know it.”The admission hit me like a punch to the gut. I leaned forward, elbows on the desk, my pulse racing. “How?”Sable took a slow breath before she answered. Her fingers pressed into her thighs. “My mother told me once. I was young, maybe nine or ten. She pulled me aside after one of my father’s long meetings. She was careful, the way someone is when they’re planting information they hope a child will remember later if things go bad. She called him the man who keeps the old debts.”Those words unlocked something deep inside me. Everything cl

  • Blood of the forgotten moon   Chapter 19: The Decision Not to Run

    “I’m not running anymore.”The words flew out of my mouth the second Riven stepped into my room. He hadn’t even spoken yet, but I could read the look on his face. He had come with bad news wrapped in careful words.He closed the door behind him with a quiet click. The sound felt final in the quiet space. “Sable, we need to talk.”I stood up from the edge of the bed, arms crossed tight over my chest. My heart beat hard against my ribs. “Then talk. Don’t stand there deciding things for me before I even hear them.”Riven moved further into the room. He moved with that same controlled grace he always had, but I saw the tension in his shoulders. He was choosing every word carefully. “We may need to move you. Somewhere safer. Just for a little while.”I stared at him. No details. No real explanation. Just that smooth voice like he was handling something fragile. Like he was managing me again. The anger started low in my stomach and spread fast.“Move me where?” I asked.He took a slow brea

  • Blood of the forgotten moon   Chapter 18: Caius Dren

    The man she described was Caius Dren.The realization slammed into me like a fist to the chest. I sat behind my desk, staring at Sable while her words kept echoing through my head. Tall. Dark hair. Eyes like polished amber. The way he moved through the ritual like the entire room belonged to him alone. The small, calm smile he gave her right before the fire swallowed everything. It was him. No doubt. No maybe. The pieces locked together so perfectly that it made my blood run hot with rage.Everything had been deliberate.The fire that killed her mother. The brand they burned into Sable’s wrist to lock down her power. Her mother’s death. The investigation that blamed a terrified twelve-year-old girl for something she didn’t do. All of it planned and carried out by the same monster. Caius Dren. The man who made his name destroying powerful bloodlines and making sure they stayed buried.I kept my face calm even though fury burned through every part of me. My hands stayed flat on the desk

  • Blood of the forgotten moon   Chapter 17: The Night of the Fire”

    “I need to tell you what really happened that night.” My voice came out steadier than I expected as I sat across from Riven in his study. The page with my mother’s name still lay between us on the desk. He hadn’t moved much since I started talking, but I could feel him listening with every part of his body. The fire crackled low in the hearth, but it didn’t warm the cold spreading through my chest. Riven nodded once, slow and careful. “Tell me.” I took a deep breath. My hands were still shaking from saying the words about the fire earlier. But this time I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. Not anymore. “The story they told everyone was that I caused it. That my power exploded out of control and killed her. My father and the elders made sure that version spread. They needed someone to blame. And a twelve-year-old girl was easy to point at.” I swallowed hard. The memory rushed in fast, sharp as broken glass. “It wasn’t my awakening. It was hers. My mother’s. Lyra. Her power had been s

  • Blood of the forgotten moon   Chapter 16: Her Mother’s Name

    “What the hell is this?” I looked up from the maps spread across my desk, the words dying in my throat the second I saw her. Sable stood in the doorway of my study, holding a single page in her hand. Her face was pale, eyes burning with something raw and dangerous. She didn’t wait for permission. She walked straight in and placed the page on my desk like it was a live grenade. Then she just stood there. I picked it up slowly. My eyes scanned the heading first. MOONSEAL CONFIRMED LINEAGE. The list of crossed-out names hit me hard. And at the bottom, in newer ink, one name that made my stomach drop. Lyra Ardenne. I read it twice. The paper felt too thin between my fingers. When I finally looked up at her, the air between us had changed. This wasn’t the careful distance we’d kept since she arrived. This was real. “Did you know before you signed the contract?” she asked. Her voice was very quiet. Almost a whisper. But it cut straight through me. I held her gaze. No games. No
