Liora POV

​The suffocating silence of the bone-altar shatters.

​It isn't the heavy, deliberate thud of Cassian’s boots returning. It is a sound that makes my blood run completely cold.

​A dry, papery rustling. Like a thousand dead leaves violently scraping against stone.

​I strain against the cursed chains, my eyes trying to cut through the gloom. The quartz veins in the walls pulse, illuminating the horrors creeping into the chamber. Moth-fae. They are hideous, twisted parodies of the ethereal

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Epilogue

    EpilogueLiora POV Almost Two Years LaterThe late afternoon sun spills across the wide wooden porch of the packhouse, casting a warm, golden glow over the ridge.I lean back in the oversized rocking chair, resting my hands entirely over the massive, heavy swell of my pregnant belly. A soft, contented sigh escapes my lips as a gentle summer breeze rustles the ancient oaks. Our second pup is due in just a few weeks, and the pack magic humming in the air is thick with anticipation.Beside me, occupying the matching rocking chair, is Kael. She is equally heavy with her own second pregnancy, her swollen belly resting in her lap as she casually sharpens a throwing knife with a whetstone. Some things, it seems, will never change.I look out across the sprawling green lawn of the courtyard, and my breath still catches in my throat. Even after two years, I still can't quite believe that this is my life.Down in the grass, completely covered in dirt and grinning like an absolute fool, is the

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 107

    Liora POVThe bitter, suffocating ice of winter has finally surrendered.The air in the Blood Moon courtyard is no longer sharp enough to crack your lungs. Instead, the gentle, crisp morning breeze carries the sweet, damp scent of thawing earth, blooming wildflowers, and the vibrant promise of spring.It is also currently carrying the sound of my Beta losing his absolute mind over baby supplies."Kael, we cannot pack four broadswords in the diaper bag!" Dax’s frantic voice echoes from the open trunk of the heavily armoured SUV. "There is no room! We need the thermal blankets, the formula, and at least eighty diapers for a three-day trip!""Dax, relax," Kael groans, leaning casually against the bumper. She is wearing her tactical leathers, looking entirely unbothered as she effortlessly bounces a cooing, wide-awake Jaxson on her hip. "They don't need eighty diapers. And if we run into a rogue patrol on the pass, I am not fighting them off with a pacifier.""You aren't fighting anyone!"

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 106

    Liora POVI wake up to a sound I haven't heard in three days.Absolute silence.The relentless, deafening howl of the blizzard that had rattled the heavy log walls of the sanctuary has entirely vanished. In its place is a profound, muffled stillness.I slip out from under Kai’s heavy arm, careful not to wake him, and pull my thick woollen sweater over my head. I step over the sleeping forms of several refugees in the quiet, dim hall, making my way toward the front entrance.When I unbolt the heavy oak doors and push them open, the sheer brightness of the morning makes me gasp.The storm has finally broken. The sky above Shadow Ridge is a brilliant, blinding, cloudless blue. Three feet of pristine, untouched white snow completely blankets the courtyard, burying the rusted iron gates and turning the towering pine trees into glittering ice sculptures.And parked right in the centre of the winter wonderland, looking like absolute monuments of salvation, are the massive Blood Moon transpor

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 105

    Kai POVI am still catching my breath when I finally slide the heavy iron deadbolt of the supply closet back.Liora steps out into the dimly lit corridor ahead of me, her auburn hair slightly ruffled, a soft, incredibly beautiful flush still painting her cheeks. She adjusts the collar of her thermal henley, throwing a wicked, secretive smile over her shoulder at me before turning back toward the warmth of the main hall.I take exactly one step to follow her when the violent sound of shattering glass rips through the quiet corridor.Liora instantly freezes, her hand dropping to the Silver Dagger at her hip.The heavy, suffocating heat of the corridor is instantly replaced by a biting, vicious blast of sub-zero wind. It isn't coming from the main hall. It is coming from the far end of the back corridor, where the newly installed frosted windows face the eastern ridge."Stay behind me," I order, my voice dropping into a lethal, soundless whisper.I don't wait for her to argue. I draw the

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 104

    Kai POVIt takes three hours of gruelling, freezing labour to completely unload the massive transport trucks. By the time the final crate of winter rations is secured in the pantry and the heavy oak doors are bolted shut against the blizzard, the residential hall is practically vibrating with relief.The fear has been entirely replaced by the smell of roasting meat and the quiet, contented hum of eighty wolves finally realizing they are going to survive the winter.I stand near the roaring hearth, brushing a layer of melting frost from my hair.Across the room, Liora is handing a steaming mug of spiced cider to Elias. She is wearing a fitted, dark thermal henley, her auburn hair falling in damp, messy waves over her shoulders. The heat of the room has brought a beautiful, flushed colour to her cheeks, and the golden Luna mark on her neck is glowing with a soft, steady rhythm.Atlas lets out a deep, entirely feral growl in the back of my mind.Mate.I have spent the last six hours grip

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 103

    Kai POVThe heavy oak doors of the residential hall swing shut behind us, completely cutting off the deafening howl of the blizzard.The sheer wall of heat and the thick scent of eighty trapped wolves hit me instantly. I brush the heavy layer of snow from my shoulders, my eyes quickly sweeping over the packed, dimly lit room. Every square inch of floor space is occupied by cots, thick blankets, and huddled families.Torin and Mara step inside right behind us, looking completely exhausted but radiating a fierce, undeniable pride. They had held the line.Before I can even fully unbutton my winter coat, a tiny, dark-haired missile launches itself through the crowd of stunned refugees."Luna! Luna!"Little Finn, wearing a slightly too-large knitted sweater, sprints across the wooden floorboards. He doesn't hesitate for a second. He throws his tiny arms entirely around Liora’s legs, burying his face against her snow-dampened jeans.Liora immediately drops her heavy travel bag. Her face bre

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 36

    Kai POVThe last couple of days have passed in a relentless blur—pack runs at dawn that leave my muscles burning, endless training drills under a merciless sun, and hours locked in the office drowning in reports that grow more troubling with every page. The air in here hangs heavy with Liora’s wild

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 10

    Kai POVI step out of Leila’s room, her wildflower scent still clinging to me like a lifeline, her trembling voice— “flashes of gunshots, silver”—echoing in my mind, each word tightening the knot of dread in my chest. Atlas paces within me, his low whine urging me to stay with Leila, to shield her

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 26

    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 thrum

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 6

    Kai POVThe air in the cells beneath the packhouse is damp and heavy, thick with the metallic tang of blood and the musty chill of stone, the kind that seeps into your bones and lingers. The captured rogue — Kael, she spat out under duress — is a feisty thing, chained to a steel chair bolted to the
