Captive Moon: The Alpha's Blood Pact Chapter 39: Whispers of What's to Come
The first frost of autumn painted the den’s fields in silver, but the great hall stayed warm with the crackle of hearth fire and the hum of magic.Elara sat at the table, her mother’s journal spread open beside a stack of scrolls, while Ellie practiced summoning flames on the stone floor—not just silver fire now, but tiny phoenixes that fluttered around the pup’s fingers before dissolving into embers.“Look, Mamma!” Ellie cried, her golden eyes shining. “Fire friend learned new tricks.”Elara smiled, marking a passage in the journal with a charcoal stick. “Very impressive. But don’t let them get too close to the tapestries. Lira will have my head if you singe her favorite wolf rug.”He appeared in the doorway, his red brand glowing faintly against his palm as he wiped snow from his cloak. “Patrol’s back. Southern border’s clear, but the magic’s acting up again. Plants growing overnight, streams running backward—same as before the void rift.”Elara’s pen stilled. “Same pattern? The ice

The den’s gates loomed ahead, their stone archway now etched with trinity runes that glowed faintly in the morning light.Elara smiled as the wolves on guard perked up, their howls of welcome echoing across the valley. Ellie, still half-asleep in her arms, stirred at the sound, her phoenix mark flickering like a dying ember.“Home,” she mumbled, snuggling deeper into Elara’s cloak.He walked beside them, Eleanor’s sword slung across his back, its tricolor glow matching the red brand on his palm. “They’ve been waiting. The elders say the den’s magic has grown stronger since we left—like it’s celebrating the void’s defeat.”The ice witch, her blue flames now steady and warm, nodded at the fields beyond the gates, where wildflowers bloomed in colors that shouldn’t exist—silver petals with gold edges, blue stems that shimmered like ice. “Magic’s balancing itself. Fire, shadow, cold—all weaving together in the earth.”Lira, riding ahead on a borrowed horse, turned to grin at them. “Hurry u
Captive Moon: The Alpha's Blood Pact Chapter 37: Heart of the Volcano
The tunnel leading to the volcano’s core shook with each step, rocks raining down from the ceiling as magma bubbled in fissures along the walls.Elara clutched Eleanor’s sword, its tricolor glow cutting through the darkness like a beacon. Her scar burned in rhythm with the volcano’s pulse, and the sealing stone in her pouch throbbed, as if urging her forward. Beside her, Ellie’s silver fire swirled in a protective cocoon, warding off the searing heat.“Getting too close to the core,” the ice witch said, her blue flames flaring to create a barrier against a spray of molten rock. “Void magic’s feeding on the magma—making the portal stronger.”He moved ahead, his shadow magic stretching to cover the tunnel walls, stabilizing the shaking stone. His red brand glowed so bright it cast their shadows in triplicate, and his golden eyes never left the swirling darkness ahead. “Portal’s just around the bend. Get ready.”Lira, her armor singed from near-misses with magma, grunted as she shouldere

The air reeked of sulfur as they neared Mount Voss, the ground trembling with each step.Elara’s scar burned so hot she kept her wrist pressed against the sealing stone, which pulsed with tricolor light, as if fighting the volcanic heat. Ellie, clinging to her side, stared up at the volcano’s smoldering peak, her silver fire flaring in response to the magic in the air.“Too hot,” the pup muttered, wiping sweat from her brow. “Fire friend’s scared.”He moved beside them, his shadow magic rippling like a cool breeze against the heat. His red brand glowed brighter than ever, casting dark light over the cracked earth. “Scouts found a cave. Ancestor markings on the walls. Might be a way into the mountain.”The ice witch nodded, her blue flames flickering as she scanned the horizon. “Void magic is thickest there. The portal must be close to the core—using the volcano’s energy to strengthen itself.”Lira, her armor clinking as she tramped over the rocks, grunted. “Of course it is. Why would

The road to Mount Voss tasted of ash.Elara’s lips were chapped from the wind, which carried grit from the volcano’s smoldering peak, painting the sky a sickly gray. Ellie, bundled in furs against the cold, sneezed as a gust blew ash into their faces, her silver fire flaring briefly to shield them both.“Volcano’s angry,” she said, her small voice muffled by her cloak. “Like it’s yelling at the void.”The ice witch, riding beside them, nodded, her blue eyes scanning the storm clouds that clung to the mountain’s slopes. “Mount Voss isn’t just stone and fire. It’s a vessel for ancient magic—the same magic that birthed the first trinity pact. The void magic is 亵渎 (desecrating) it.”He rode on Elara’s other side, his shadow magic rippling to deflect flying debris. His red brand glowed brighter the closer they got, casting a faint black light over his horse’s flanks. “Patrols found tracks three miles back. Large, clawed, covered in void residue.”Lira, behind them with a squad of wolves, g

The journey down from Blackspire Mountains was quieter than the climb up.Elara walked beside the ice witch, who leaned heavily on a staff carved from mountain ash, her steps unsteady but growing stronger with each mile. The void magic had left its mark—her skin still held a faint gray tinge, and her blue flames flickered weakly when she tried to conjure them—but her eyes had cleared, no longer clouded by darkness.“Thank you,” she said again, her voice stronger than it had been in the tower. “For not leaving me to the void. Most would have.”Elara smiled, glancing at Ellie, who rode on his shoulders, chattering to the silver fire that danced between her fingers. “We don’t leave pack behind. Even if the pack includes ice witches.”The witch laughed, a low, warm sound that made the air feel lighter. “Ice witches, wolves, and guardians—quite the motley crew. But effective, it seems.”He slowed his pace to walk beside them, his red brand glowing faintly in the afternoon light. “The tower
