Chapter 21:

The Void Peaks trembled as a rift of crimson light tore through the dawn sky.

Eclipseborn poured from it, their fur blazing with blood-red runes, claws dripping with shadow.

Aria stood before the Crimson Altar, her palm still bleeding from binding the Blood Oath, her body humming with its dark power.

Kael’s black wolf form bristled beside her, his fangs bared, while Lyra and Torin flanked them, battered but unyielding.

The pack’s howls rose, a desperate cry against the onslaught, but the air was thick with dread.

“Hold the line!”

Aria shouted, her claws glowing crimson, the Oath’s power surging through her veins.

It was wild, hungry, threatening to consume her, but she gripped it like a weapon.

An Eclipseborn lunged, its eyes twin voids, and she slashed, her crimson light slicing it in half.

Ash rained down, but more shadows took its place.

Kael tackled another, his claws tearing through its rune-etched hide.

“They’re endless!” he growled, blood staining his fur.

  • Claimed by the Midnight Alpha   The Forsaken Luna

    Chapter 80 Snowstorm.A newborn cried beneath a blood moon.Inside a stone temple buried deep in the Icefang Mountains, a woman with silver hair screamed as she pushed life into the world. Her cries mixed with the wind, her nails scraping across the floor as ancient runes glowed beneath her body.The Elders surrounded her in silence. None moved to help.“She is cursed,” one Elder whispered.“She was never meant to bear the Sealed Alpha’s child,” another murmured.But the baby came anyway.She arrived with silver eyes and a crescent birthmark glowing red against her back.The midwife who caught her dropped her in fear. “Her mark is inverted. The Moon rejected her!”The lead Elder stepped forward. “Name her.”The mother, gasping through tears, whispered, “Seraphine…”The Elder’s face twisted in disgust. “Seraphine of the Forsaken Line.”Then, he raised his hand and cast a binding curse over the infant.Let her live in the shadows. Let her never know love. Let her power rot in silence.

  • Claimed by the Midnight Alpha   The North Stirs

    Chapter 79 – Weeks After the Red SummitThe wind howled through the jagged cliffs.Snow fell in angry flurries, burying everything in sight. This land was beyond maps, beyond pack law, beyond the Moon’s light.But something ancient had awakened.A lone figure walked barefoot across the frostbitten rocks. Her cloak whipped violently behind her, exposing skin carved with glowing runes old magic, forbidden and lost to time.She reached the mouth of a cave hidden beneath a waterfall of ice.Inside, the fire was already lit. Someone was waiting.She knelt before the dark throne of bone and obsidian, her silver hair matted with snow and blood.“I felt her rise,” she said, her voice echoing unnaturally. “The Luna Queen has claimed her throne.”The one in the shadows leaned forward, revealing a skeletal wolf mask. “Then it is time to take it from her.”“Shall I bring an army?”The masked figure tilted their head. “No. Let her enjoy the illusion of peace… and then we’ll tear it from her with

  • Claimed by the Midnight Alpha   Moonfire Unleashed

    Chapter 78Moments After the AmbushSmoke clouded the night sky, thick and choking. The earth trembled under charging paws, clashing blades, and dying screams.Zane’s rogue wolves howled as they stormed into the chaos, tearing through both Midnight warriors and the King’s soldiers alike. They came from all sides twice as many as anyone expected.“This isn’t a battle,” Kael growled as he ripped through an attacker. “It’s a massacre!”Beside him, Aria limped forward, blood dripping from the wound Elandra’s cursed arrow left in her side.But she didn’t stop.Couldn’t stop.Her body burned with agony, but something stronger rose in her chest, the Circle’s call.Every heartbeat echoed with power. The dagger at her side pulsed. The Moonfire within her screamed to be releasedElandra raised both arms and laughed as storms of black lightning crackled overhead.“This throne doesn’t belong to any of you!” she shrieked. “The Alpha King, Luna, the Midnight Pack all die tonight!”Zane appeared be

  • Claimed by the Midnight Alpha   The Summit of Shadows  

    Chapter 77 The tension hung like a noose around every neck.Thousands of wolves surrounded the bloodstone field of the Red Summit. No one spoke. No one moved. They waited watching, breathing in the storm building between the Midnight Pack and the Alpha King’s army.Aria stood alone before the throne of King Malrick, her chin lifted high, eyes gleaming silver beneath the hood of her dark cloak.Behind her, Kael, Rylan, Elsie, and a hundred of Midnight’s fiercest warriors held the line. They had orders not to move unless Aria gave the signal.The Alpha King rose from his throne. His voice was deep, smooth, and poisonous.“You’ve grown, Flameborn. Not the broken girl I expected.”Aria didn’t flinch. “I stopped being a girl when your soldiers slaughtered my kin.”He chuckled. “Your kin were traitors. The Circle defied the law of the Crown. They were given a choice to bend or burn.”“And you’ll find I don’t bend,” she said coldly.The King took a step closer. The air grew colder.“Then y

  • Claimed by the Midnight Alpha   The Queen Returns

    Chapter 76 – The Queen ReturnsThree Days Later, Midnight Pack BorderThe air was heavy with the scent of blood and war.The Midnight Pack’s borders once protected by towering trees and spirit wards were shattered. Burned trees smoldered. The barrier was broken. Scouts lay dead, clawed and torn. And in the center of it all stood a black banner with a silver crown etched across it.The Alpha King’s warning had arrived.Kael growled as he stepped over the fallen warriors. His fury was barely contained. His Beta, Rylan, trailed behind him with tense eyes. “We weren’t ready for this.”“No one was,” Kael snapped.Behind them, Aria emerged from the trees cloaked in a long black coat, the blade of moonfire hidden along her spine. Her silver eyes swept across the battlefield, cold and unreadable.The pack wolves stared at her.Some whispered. Others bowed.Kael turned to her. “You don’t have to see this.”“I do,” she replied, stepping over the broken shield wall. “If I’m going to lead, I ne

  • Claimed by the Midnight Alpha   The Circle Awakens

    Chapter 75 – The wind cut like knives as the trio moved deeper into the forgotten woods of the north.Every step toward the Sealed Circle was like walking through the breath of a sleeping god. The land had changed. Shadows clung unnaturally to the trees, and the silence pressed in like a weight. No birds. No animals. Just stillness.Aria led the way.Her silver armor was dulled by dirt and dried blood, but she moved with certainty, as if something deep in her bones knew the path. The dagger from Lucien pulsed faintly at her hip guiding her, testing her.Kael rode beside her, his gaze constantly scanning their surroundings, his wolf on edge.Lucien followed behind, unusually quiet. Since they left the pack, something about him had shifted. He avoided Aria’s eyes. Spoke only when needed. And she didn’t miss the way he gripped the hilt of his blade just a little too tightly.They’d camped near the outer ridge of the Sealed Alpha's territory last night. Now, the ruins were only hours
