Chapter 19: The Howl of the Living

I raise my mug high. The hall goes quiet.

“Shadowfang,” I say, voice cutting through the crackle of the fires. “We changed. We bled. We lost one of our own. And we’re still fucking standing. Tonight we don’t plan. We don’t patrol. We don’t fear what’s coming. Tonight we remember we’re alive. Drink. Eat. Touch. Howl. That’s an order.”

The roar that answers me shakes the goddamn beams. Mugs slam. Howls rip through the air. The feast is on.

I drop back into my sea
Kripa Shankar Sharma

Chapter 19 — The Howl of the Living After everything Shadowfang has endured, tonight is not about war, patrols, or the danger waiting beyond their borders. Tonight, they celebrate being alive. The pack lets loose, Kael and Ava get a little carried away, and by dawn the hall is filled with exhausted bodies, satisfied smiles, and the warmth of family.

  • Feral Claim    Chapter 21: The Serpent Who Sold His Soul

    Chapter 21: The Serpent Who Sold His SoulSnow crunches under boots that aren’t really boots. I hate the sound of it. Too clean. Too soft. Like the world up here thinks it’s pure.I taste the air anyway. Pine. Ice. Wolf musk thick enough to choke on. And under it all… something new. Changing blood. Female. Strong. Interesting.My name is Vishal. Poison Fang in the old tongue. Right now I wear the skin of a tired rogue named Vikram—lean muscle, road dust, scars that look earned. Harmless. Grateful. Broken just enough that a pack of sun-walking mutts might open their gates and offer me a bowl of stew.They have no fucking idea what’s walking toward them.I was born ordinary. Black cobra under a peepal tree near a forgotten Shiva temple in Rajasthan. Hunted mice. Shed skin. Lived small. That shit lasted about as long as my patience.I watched humans with their gold and their temples and their endless greed. Watched sadhus sit until power cracked their skulls open like overripe fruit.

  • Feral Claim    Chapter 20: The Morning After (and the Road North)

    Chapter 20: The Morning After (and the Road North)I wake up with my face pressed into something soft, warm, and definitely not my bedroll.Ava’s thigh.My head is pounding like a war drum. My mouth tastes like I licked the bottom of a keg and then challenged it to a duel. One of my boots is missing. The other is somehow on the wrong foot. And there is a very large, very furry something draped across my lower legs.I crack one eye open.Thorne is snoring on the floor three paces away, half-shifted, one massive hybrid arm still wrapped around an empty barrel like it’s his mate. Across the hall, Hammer is face-down on a table with a mug balanced on the back of her head. Someone has drawn a crude wolf cock on her cheek in charcoal.“Fuck,” I rasp.Ava stirs under me. Her hair is a wild mess of braids and dried leaves. One of her eyes is still faintly glowing crimson. She blinks at me, then at the absolute wreckage of the great hall.“…Did we win a war last night?” she croaks.“I think we

That’s an order.”The roar that answers me shakes the goddamn beams. Mugs slam. Howls rip through the air. The feast is on.I drop back into my seat at the high table. Ava’s already there in that midnight wool dress, cut low enough to show the new faint veins tracing her collarbones. The bond flares hot the second our eyes lock. I can’t look away.She smirks, slow and wicked, and slides onto my lap without asking. Her ass settles right against the thick ridge already straining my leathers. I growl low against her ear.“You’re playing with fire, Luna.”“Good,” she whispers back. “Burn me.”My hand finds her thigh under the table. Fingers pu

  • Feral Claim    Chapter 18: The Luna’s Turn

    The healing lodge stank of blood, scorched herbs, and that goddamn blueberry midnight-eclipse shit Vaelor kept pushing. I didn’t care anymore. Twenty-eight hybrids were already prowling the compound—faster, sharper, occasionally sparking or breaking into dance when someone cracked a garlic jar. The last three fever cases had woken by midday. Weak, but alive.Only one person left.Me.It was my fucking idea. Born in the pit while Kairos screamed truths at my feet. I’d sold it to the pack, stared down every doubt, held Thorne’s shoulders while he giggled about noodles. And still I’d waited—watching doses, counting heartbeats, making sure no one else died on my watch.Now the lodge was quiet. Last ritual of the night. Torches burned low. Outside, snow hissed against the shutters.Kael stood at the head of the ritual table, arms folded, jaw locked. He hadn’t said a word since I announced it was my turn, but the bond roared with pride and raw fear.“You don’t have to,” he said finally, voic

  • Feral Claim    Chapter 17: Blood, Howls, and Unexpected Side Effects

    Chapter 17: Blood, Howls, and Unexpected Side Effects (Ava’s POV – First Person)The vote came at dawn under a sky the color of bruised steel.Forty-three wolves stepped forward.Not the entire pack. Far from it. Some elders shook their heads, muttering about defiling the Moon Mother’s gifts. A few warriors crossed their arms—loyal, but unwilling to tamper with their blood. No one was forced. Kael made that clear with a single look that could freeze rivers.Those who refused were honored all the same. Those who accepted were marched to the old healing lodge, now cleared and warded tighter than a miser’s coin purse.I stood beside Kael as Vaelor took his place at the center like a mad alchemist in wolf’s clothing. Jars of Kairos’s drained vampire blood lined the tables—thick, black-red, still faintly smoking from the silver bowls used to collect it. Bundles of night-blooming herbs smoldered in braziers. Runes glowed on the floor in dried wolf blood and ash.The first volunteer was T

  • Feral Claim    Chapter 16: Shadows in the Dark

    Chapter 16: Shadows in the Dark (Kael’s POV – First Person)The new moon rose invisible. A void in a sky full of cold stars.True dark. The night Seraphine had demanded.But she never came.No raven circled the treeline. No pale figure stepped from the trees with her silent escort. The wards hummed steady under Vaelor’s constant work. Scouts returned with the same report every hour: winter silence. No strange scents. No unnatural frost creeping across the snow.Too quiet.I stood on the lodge balcony at midnight, forearms braced against the railing, snow drifting in lazy spirals beyond the compound lights. Ava stood beside me. Shadows pooled faintly around her boots, restless, like they could feel the wrongness in the air the same way I could.“She’s playing with us,” I muttered. “Testing our nerves.”“Or something delays her,” Ava answered. Calm. Watching. Always watching. “Either way—we stay sharp.”We doubled the patrols that night. Silver on every belt. Warriors moving in pai
