Leila POV

The night is no different from the restless ones that have plagued me since the rogue attack – sleep fractured, my mind a battlefield of shadows and half-remembered ghosts. The packhouse creaks around me like an old guardian, its ancient timbers whispering secrets in the wind that rattles the windows. Exhaustion finally drags me under, and the dream returns, sharper and more merciless than ever.

I’m running again through misty woods cloaked in silver fog, moonlight slicing through the

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 44

    Kai POV​The packhouse training yard basks in the golden embrace of the late afternoon sun. The air is crisp, heavy with the tang of trampled grass and the faint metallic bite of steel from the racks of practice blades lining the wooden fence. The ground is packed dirt, scarred and uneven from countless spars. In the distance, the lake shimmers like a silver mirror under the waxing moon’s early rise—a constant, mocking reminder of the blood moon ticking closer. Its crimson promise is the key to Liora’s curse, and the deadline hanging over all our heads.Around the yard, the pack goes about their drills. Scattered warriors move in synchronized pairs, their grunts of exertion mixing with the sharp clack of wood and steel. Near the porch, a pile of pups tumbles over each other in mock fights, their high-pitched yips and innocent laughter a low hum that momentarily lightens the crushing weight on my shoulders.But my eyes, as always, find her across the yard. Liora.She is practicing form

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 43

    Dax POVThe Mating Cabin’s bed is a tangle of rumpled sheets that still carry her honeysuckle scent - wild and intoxicating - but it’s empty. The cool space beside me a hollow ache that makes Rune whine, a low, restless rumble in my chest that claws at my ribs like a storm trapped in a cage. The late afternoon sun filters through the window, bathing the wooden walls in a soft golden haze, the lake outside lapping gently against the shore, but the quiet feels wrong without her—her teasing laugh, her spicy chirps, the way Veyra’s purr synced with Rune’s howl last night, their bond a blaze that left us breathless and marked.I sit up, the sheets pooling at my waist, my skin still tingling from her nails, her bites, the glowing tattoo on my neck shimmering faintly like moonlight on water. Where is she? Rune howls, urgent, possessive, the mate bond a live wire pulling me toward her - toward the packhouse, the yard, anywhere she might be.I dress quickly - pants and a shirt clinging to my f

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 42

    Elvira POVThe packhouse is a rustic hellhole, all creaking wooden beams and howling wolves that grate on my nerves like claws on stone. My room is the only concession to civilization, opulent silk drapes the colour of midnight frame the tall window, a massive four-poster bed swathed in imported French linens that slide against my skin like a lover’s whisper, a wardrobe bursting with dresses that cling to every curve like they were sewn on. But even here, it’s a gilded cage. The walls press in with suffocating scents of the pack – earth, loyalty and that insufferable wildflower stink that clings to her. The potion sloshing in my false belly keeps up the charade, its acrid bitterness mimicking the faint milky scent of a pup to fool their damned noses. But it’s a fragile illusion, one wrong whiff from unravelling.I pace, silk robe whispering against my legs, lavender perfume poured on thick tonight - a cloying floral cloud that masks the potion’s tang and marks me as untouchable, elega

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 41

    Liora POVThe packhouse room is a cocoon of shadows and moonlight, the bed a tangle of rumpled sheets that still carry the faint, intoxicating trace of Kai’s ocean-mist scent—a ghost of the storm that crashed over me by the lake. My body hums with the aftershocks of his kiss, lips swollen and tingling, the rough bark of the tree still imprinted on my back like a brand I never want to fade. Every inch of me feels alive, electric, aching in the best and worst ways. The Silver Dagger rests on the bedside table, its ruby hilt catching a thin sliver of moonbeam through the window, pulsing in time with my heartbeat—slow, heavy, insistent.I sink deeper into the pillows, auburn hair fanning across the linen, cool fabric a cruel contrast to the heat still flushing my skin. My nightgown clings to me, damp in places, the thin silk outlining every curve he touched, every place his hands gripped, his mouth claimed. Moon Goddess, that kiss. Kai’s grey eyes had darkened to storm-cloud black as he p

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 40

    Kai POVLiora sways again, the vision’s aftershock dragging at her like invisible chains. My arms snap around her waist before she can fall, pulling her flush against me—her body warm and trembling, soft curves moulding perfectly to the hard planes of my chest. The dagger’s ruby presses between us, pulsing like a frantic heartbeat, but it’s her heartbeat I feel most—rapid, wild, thundering against my ribs. Her wildflower scent floods me, sweet and heady, layered with the salt of sweat and the faint ozone of spent magic. Atlas roars inside me, fur rippling, claws scraping at my control, demanding I taste her, claim her, bury myself in her until the world disappears.“I’ve got you,” I growl, voice gravel-rough, lips brushing the shell of her ear. But it’s a lie—I don’t have her. Not like this. Not when every instinct screams to rip away the last barriers between us, to pin her against the nearest tree and mark her here, now, under the moon’s unforgiving gaze. The bond is a live wire, cr

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 39

    Liora POVThe mating ceremony’s glow lingers like the moon’s own afterimage, the packs laughter and triumphant howls drifting on the cool lake breeze, a living tapestry of joy woven under the waxing silver light that makes the night feel electric, alive. The Blood Moon Pack’s unity hums in the air, warm and fierce, a shield against the shadows that still stalk us. I stand at the water’s edge, bare feet sinking into the damp, cool earth, the lake’s surface a perfect mirror of stars and fractured moonlight. Gentle waves lap at my toes, rhythmic and soothing, but they can’t quite wash away the weight pressing on my chest. The Silver Dagger is tucked in my bag, slung across my shoulder, its ruby hilt pulsing against my hip.The pack’s celebration is a balm after the ruins’ peril, but the weight of my legacy settles heavier with every breath. The moon climbs higher, its silver light bathing the lake in ethereal glow. The dagger’s hum intensifies suddenly, a low vibration that travels up my
