Dagger of the Blood Moon Chapter 27
Kai POVThe journey to Shadow Ridge’s ruins feels like a gauntlet forged from the land’s own malice, the pre-dawn fog clinging to us like a living shroud, thick and cold. Turning the ancient forest into a labyrinth of whispers and half-seen threats. We left the SUVs at the edge of rogue territory hours ago. Our small team—Me, Liora, Dax, Kael, Mara, Torin, Reed, and Keira—moving on foot as Liora cannot take Aria’s form. Thorny vines snag at our clothes and skin, drawing thin lines of blood that burn with faint silver sting, as if the earth itself remembers the mines that birthed Liora’s blessing and curse. The air is heavy with damp chill rolling off the ridges, carrying the earthy rot of moss and decaying leaves, undercut by the sharp, metallic bite of silver veins hidden in the soil. My boots sink into the mud with each step, the ground sucking at us like it wants to pull us under, and Atlas paces within me, his fur bristling, his low growl a constant rumble urging me to close the

Dax POVKael’s driving me insane, her chirp’s sharper than silver claws, but Rune’s howling for her, and I’m done pretending I can resist.The training grounds are a crucible under the midday sun, heat shimmering off the hard-packed dirt, dust clouds rising with every clash and grunt. The air thrums with the raw energy of sparring wolves—sharp tang of sweat, metallic bite of steel practice blades, wild musk of pine drifting from the bordering trees. It’s the heartbeat of the pack, fierce and alive, but today it barely registers. Rune’s a storm inside me, clawing at my ribs with relentless urgency— Mate! Claim her! Now! —his primal roar drowning out everything else. Her honeysuckle scent has haunted me for days, sweet and untamed, pulling me under like a riptide. I’m tired of fighting it. Tired of pacing the packhouse at night, doubts gnawing at me like old wounds. She’s not just a rogue anymore. She’s Kael—my mate, the Moon Goddess’s infuriating, perfect choice.I lean against a weath
Dagger of the Blood Moon Chapter 25
Liora POVThe oracle’s words cling to me like damp mist, heavy and impossible to shake. Two days have passed since the grove, yet everything feels tilted, as though the ground beneath my feet has shifted without warning. The packhouse carries on—warriors training, omegas laughing, pups chasing each other through the halls—but inside me, a storm churns. The blood moon looms three weeks away, a silent countdown to a ritual I barely understand, and Aria remains caged, her presence a faint, frustrated pulse that grows stronger only when Kai is near.This morning, the Alpha office is a blur. My hands move on autopilot, sorting patrol logs and border reports, the familiar scents of ink and old leather doing little to ground me. I keep circling back to the oracle’s voice: The Silver Dagger… hidden where silver meets shadow… it holds the echoes of your ancestors. A relic that could strengthen my bond with Aria without awakening the curse. A key to who I really am.By noon, my stomach growls l

Kael POVThe Blood Moon Pack’s training yard is a world away from the rogue camps I scraped by in—no jagged rocks, no broken bottles underfoot, just packed dirt circles ringed by sturdy wooden posts, the morning sun glinting off training weapons that actually look maintained. Last night’s swearing-in still hums in my veins, Kai’s blood mixing with mine under the full moon, the pack link a new, faint buzz in my mind—some voices warm and curious, others sharp with distrust, like thorns hidden in fur. My hair is tied back in a messy knot, borrowed leather gear creaking with every shift of my weight. Veyra paces restlessly in my chest, claws itching to prove we’re more than the rogue label still clinging to me like old smoke. The air is crisp, laced with pine, sweat, and the sharp tang of steel, but it’s Dax’s cedar-and-storm scent that slams into me first, every damn time. Moon Goddess, this mate bond is a relentless pain in my arse.Dax is across the yard, barking orders at a cluster of
Dagger of the Blood Moon Chapter 23
Kai POVThe packhouse clearing glows under the full moon’s silver gaze, the night air crisp with the scent of pine needles and damp earth, the kind that stirs the blood of every wolf gathered in a wide circle around the ancient stone altar at its centre. Torches flicker along the perimeter, their flames casting dancing shadows on the faces of my Blood Moon Pack—warriors standing tall and proud, omegas with arms linked, pups wide-eyed and hushed against their mothers—all gathered around the ancient stone altar at the heart of the clearing. The altar itself is weathered granite, etched with runes older than any living wolf, symbols of loyalty and blood that seem to pulse faintly tonight, as if the Moon Goddess herself leans close to witness what we do. Atlas paces within me, his massive presence a low rumble of pride laced with wariness – this swearing-in is a gamble, binding a former rogue to our core, but my word is law, and the pack trusts me to turn uncertainty into strength.Dax st
Dagger of the Blood Moon Chapter 22
Kael POVHe leads me up the stone stairs, Dax’s broad back a solid shadow I follow, his cedar-and-storm scent wrapping around me like a tether I can’t—don’t want to—shake. The cold, damp air of the cells fades with every step, replaced by the warmer currents of the packhouse: pine from the polished floors, faint leather from old furniture, the lingering sweetness of fresh-baked cookies drifting from the kitchen we just passed. Veyra stirs in my chest, a low, excited growl rumbling through me, her quirky energy buzzing at the shift from chains to freedom. Freedom on a leash, sure, but still freedom.Dax stops at a door just down the hall from what I’m guessing is his own room—smart move, keeping his rogue “trouble” close enough to watch. He pushes it open, gesturing me inside with a tilt of his head, his dark eyes tracking my every move like he’s half-expecting me to bolt. I step past him, brushing close enough that our scents tangle, honeysuckle and storm, and Veyra purrs traitorously
