Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love Chapter 20: The First Luna
Moana’s POVWhen the council meeting finally ended, everyone rose at once to carry out Alpha Eldrick’s orders. The war chiefs strode from the Great Hall, already discussing which warriors would ride north. The elders departed with grim faces, their voices low as they spoke among themselves. Kaelen remained beside Alpha Eldrick while the rest of the hall slowly emptied.I returned to Alpha Eldrick’s study.I couldn’t leave my work unfinished. The bucket and brush still waited where the guards had left them earlier. Dust still clung to the corners of the heavy table and the shelves lined with old scrolls. I finished cleaning in silence, moving the cloth in slow, steady circles while my thoughts remained fixed on everything I had heard during the war council.Three hundred elite warriors. Six thousand rogues. Two nights until we rode north.As I continued working, the world beyond the walls of Night Claw Hold refused to leave my thoughts.I had spent almost my entire life within these wa
Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love Chapter 19: The War Council
Moana’s POVThe heavy doors to the Great Hall groaned as the guards pushed them open.Warm air rolled out to meet me, carrying the lingering scent of stale ale, burning pine, leather, roasted meat, and old timber. My heartbeat quickened as I stepped inside behind them. My boots echoed softly against the polished timber floor, sounding far louder than they should have in the silence.The hall was nothing like it had been the night before.The music was gone.So were the laughter, the dancing, and the endless stream of carved ale horns raised in celebration. The long feast tables had been cleared away, leaving only a broad meeting table standing in the centre of the hall. Pale morning light poured through the high windows, stretching across the wooden floor in long golden beams.The silence somehow felt heavier than all the noise from the feast.My eyes slowly lifted until they settled on the broad meeting table. Several people were already seated around it. I recognized many of them im
Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love Chapter 18 : Shadows Of The Morning.
Moana’s POV. I woke up with a dull headache pounding inside my skull. When I opened my eyes, the straw beneath me scraped against my back, the same as every morning, but today it felt as though someone was beating war drums inside my head. I stayed flat on my back, staring at the low stone ceiling of my cellar. I didn’t even have the strength to sit up yet. Thin morning light slipped through the narrow gap beneath the door, stretching across the stone floor until it reached the side of my bed. My mouth felt dry, and the bitter taste of stale ale and smoke still lingered in my throat.“I hate drinking,” I muttered, my voice rough and thick.Slowly, memories from the feast came drifting back. The roar of the great hall. Carved bull Horns filled with ale we raised high in celebration for me. Wolves chanting my name until it echoed beneath the timber rafters. I closed my eyes again and let those memories settle warmly inside my chest. I couldn’t remember the last time I had been that g
Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love Chapter 17 : Must Be Nice
Moana’s POVThe drums kept beating through the great hall, steady and warm like a heartbeat that refused to fade. I moved with Saga through the open space beside the hearth. My feet still stumbled from the ale, but I no longer cared. Every wrong step only made me laugh harder. Saga caught my hand whenever I nearly lost my balance, her bright smile glowing in the firelight. Around us, wolves clapped, stomped their feet, and cheered as the music echoed beneath the timber rafters. For a little while, nothing else seemed to matter.We danced like that for a while, laughing more than either of us managed to keep the rhythm. My head spun pleasantly as the ale warmed every part of my body, and for once I didn’t mind stumbling over my own feet. Saga only laughed, catching my hand before I could fall and spinning me back into the dance. Her bright red braids whipped through the firelight as she turned, and I couldn’t help laughing right along with her.Then, without warning, she slowed. Her sm
Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love Chapter 16: All Hail the Map Bearer
Moana’s POVI opened my mouth to explain myself, to tell them all this had been a mistake, a stumble of excitement and nothing more. But my voice caught in my throat, swallowed whole by the roar of the hall.“Too late to back out now, little wolf!” the auburn-haired warrior called, laughing as she thumped her own cup against the table.Two fresh horns were slammed down in front of us before I could protest, foam spilling over the rims and pouring onto the wooden table. Asger cracked his knuckles, one at a time, his grin never wavering.“Rules are simple, Map Bearer,” he said, loud enough for the whole hall to hear. “We drink. Whoever stays standing longest wins.” He leaned forward, lowering his voice just for me. “You can still walk away. No shame in it.”Something in his tone told me he meant it kindly. But every eye in the great hall was on me now, and I could feel the weight of all of them pressing down like a physical weight —curiosity, suspicion, and something else I couldn’t qui
Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love CHAPTER 15: THE MAP BEARER’S FEAST
Moana’s POV The silence in the great hall was absolute. Elder Rodrigo’s words still echoed through my mind, heavy with the weight of decades. For the first time in years, my father’s name had been spoken with honor instead of shame. I stood frozen a few paces from Eldrick, my bruised wrists still throbbing as I clutched the forgotten cleaning brush. The soapy puddle around my worn boots had long since gone cold. Eldrick slowly turned his golden gaze toward Marek. The temperature in the hall seemed to drop. When he spoke, his voice cut through the silence like a blade drawn slowly from its sheath. “Marek. From this moment until I say otherwise,” Eldrick declared, his voice carrying across the hall with quiet, unquestionable authority,“you are stripped of your position as my special adviser You are also relieved of your duties as spokesman for the Council of Elders.” Collective gasps rippled through the gathered wolves and nobles. Someone near the back knocked a bronze cu
Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love Chapter 4 : The Alpha’s Hidden Hunger
Moana’s POV Sela steps closer. She sneers down at me. “So you really thought you would become Luna? Pathetic.” Elara kicks my side lightly, just enough to make me stumble. Ava laughs loudly. I try to wipe the dirty water off my face, but my wet hair sticks to my cheeks and my dress feels cold
Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love Chapter 3 : The Pain That Binds Us
Moana’s POVIn the morning, I wake up on my straw bed in the cellar. The morning sun does not feel warm. It feels like a cold weight pressing against my eyes. My chest hurts with every breath, like it is filled with broken glass. Sharp pain shoots through my ribs. My wolf stays silent and cold in th
Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love Chapter 2 : The Alpha’s Verdict
Moana’s POVThe forest suddenly became so quiet I could hear the soft snow falling on the leaves.I remained on my knees in the cold dirt. The golden light continued to glow between my chest and Eldrick’s heart. It felt warm, like a soft blanket, but fear made my whole body shake. I looked up at the
Cursed By Blood, Claimed By Love Chapter 1 : The Blood Moon Awakening
Moana’s POV Tonight the air in the forest is so cold, it feel’s like needles on my skin. I stood in the dark shadows with my back pressed against a large pine tree, my hands shaking inside my pockets. They were covered in small scars from years of hard work. In the Blackthorn Pack, I lived like
