Kai Pov

The drive into the western territories is suffocatingly quiet.

I keep my hands steady on the steering wheel of the SUV, but my gaze keeps drifting to the passenger seat. Liora has been silent for the last forty miles, her forehead resting against the cool glass of the window, her hazel eyes staring blankly at the passing pine forests.

It has been six months since the glade-vein. Six months since the blood moon fell, the Fae Queen's court shattered, and Cassian was finally put in the gro

  • 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 102

    Mara POVThe new residential hall was built to comfortably house fifty wolves. We currently have eighty-four.The air inside the massive log-framed building is thick, heavy, and practically suffocating with the scent of damp wool, woodsmoke, and eighty bodies pressed shoulder-to-shoulder. The blizzard has been raging outside for a solid forty-eight hours, an unrelenting, howling wall of white that has completely buried the Shadow Ridge courtyard under three feet of snow.I step carefully over a tangle of sleeping pups near the massive stone hearth, wiping a sheen of sweat from my forehead.It is sweltering near the fire and freezing near the frost-caked windows. The claustrophobia is starting to gnaw at the edges of the refugees' sanity. The low, constant hum of anxious whispers and the occasional sharp snap of a territorial growl between stressed adult males keep my nerves strung tighter than a bowstring."Warden," Tessa whispers, intercepting me near the kitchen partition.She looks

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 101

    Mara POVMy hands are completely numb, but I cannot stop moving.The wind whipping through the Shadow Ridge courtyard has lost its crisp autumn bite and shifted into a heavy, bone-deep freeze. The sky above the jagged mountain peaks is a thick, bruising purple, heavy with the threat of the season's first real snow.I stand at the entrance of the triage tent, my breath pluming in the freezing air, staring at a clipboard filled with hastily scribbled names.Thirty new wolves in forty-eight hours.They had stumbled out of the tree line in small, desperate clusters. Some were from the eastern lowlands, driven up by the dropping temperatures. Others were from the northern ridges, following the whispers of a safe haven that had spread across the neutral zones like wildfire."Warden?" a raspy voice breaks my concentration.I look down. Sitting on a wooden crate near the tent flap is an elderly male wolf. His clothes are little more than frozen rags, his hands shaking violently as he clutches

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 100

    Kai POVThe courtyard of Blood Moon is packed shoulder-to-shoulder, bathed in the warm, flickering glow of a dozen massive fire pits.It has been exactly three weeks since we returned from Shadow Ridge. The crisp autumn air has fully surrendered to the biting chill of early winter, but not a single wolf in the territory is complaining about the cold tonight. They are all looking up at the raised wooden dais, their breath pluming in the air, waiting in absolute, reverent silence.I stand at the centre of the platform, the pack ledger open in my hands. Liora stands flush against my right side, draped in a thick, fur-lined cloak, her Luna aura radiating a deep, intoxicating warmth over the gathered crowd.To my left, looking entirely sleep-deprived but completely radiant, are Dax and Kael.Dax is wearing his formal Beta leathers. He is standing impossibly tall, his chest puffed out with so much pride I am genuinely surprised he hasn't floated away. Kael is leaning slightly against him, t

  • Dagger of the Blood Moon   Chapter 99

    Kai POVThe sun is just beginning to bleed over the eastern horizon, casting long, pale rays of light across the Blood Moon training yards.I am sitting on the edge of the heavy mahogany desk in my office, a cold, half-empty mug of coffee in my hand. Liora is curled up on the leather sofa, her head resting on a throw pillow, fast asleep after the sheer exhaustion of our journey back from Shadow Ridge.The packhouse has been eerily, agonizingly silent for the last forty minutes. The furious cursing and the low, guttural growls of a rogue in labour had finally ceased, replaced by a heavy, expectant quiet that made Atlas pace restlessly in my mind.Suddenly, the heavy oak door of my office clicks open.Liora stirs instantly, her hazel eyes fluttering open as she sits up.Dax stands in the doorway.My fierce, battle-hardened Beta looks like he has just survived a ten-car pileup. His grey sweatpants are wrinkled, his hair is sticking up in every direction, and he is cradling his left hand

  • 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 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 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 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
