last update Last Updated: 2025-11-15 15:24:02

Thelma's POV

The ground beneath us split open.

One moment, James, Elizabeth, and I were running through the cave system toward the old Alpha's mansion. Next, the floor cracked like an eggshell, and we were falling into darkness.

I shifted mid-fall, my wolf's instincts taking over. I hit water, hard enough to knock the air from my lungs. When I surfaced, gasping, I realized we'd fallen into the same flooded cavern where Xavier was.

But everything had changed.

The water was rising rapidly, already chest-high and climbing. The walls were moving, stone grinding against stone as passages opened and closed at random. And the temperature had dropped so low I could see my breath, despite being partially submerged.

"Thelma!" Xavier's voice cut through the chaos. I spotted him on a stone platform twenty feet away, his mother beside him. Relief flooded through me so intensely it hurt.

"Xavier!" I tried to swim toward him, but the current was too strong. The water was flowing in a circular patter

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter fifty-One: The weight Of Honesty

    XAVIER'S POVDawn came too fast.I woke to find Thelma already gone from our bed, which meant she was either training with Meridith or spiraling in her own head. The bond hummed with anxiety, sharp and electric beneath my ribs.I found her at the stream.She wasn't practicing with the threads this time. She was just sitting there, knees pulled to her chest, staring at the water like it held answers she desperately needed."Couldn't sleep?" I asked, settling beside her."Every time I close my eyes, I see it," she said quietly. "The trial. You and Aurelius. And in every version, something goes wrong.""That's not a vision. That's anxiety.""How do you know?""Because if it was a vision, you'd see one outcome. This sounds like you're seeing every possible outcome. That's just fear." I nudged her shoulder. "Welcome to leadership. It never gets easier."She leaned against me. "How do you do it? Carry the weight of everyone's survival and still make jokes?""Who says I'm joking?""Xavier."

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter fifty: Either Way

    Xavier's POV"Then we let the Void Walkers through in force. Let them decimate the resistant packs. Then we 'rescue' the survivors with Cipher at the helm. Either way, we win. Either through cooperation or through managed catastrophe.""You're talking about killing thousands of wolves.""I'm talking about saving the species. Natural-born wolves are too chaotic, too emotional, too prone to following false prophets like Blackwood. We need order. Stability. Control. The artificial wolves will provide that. And once the packs are decimated by the Void Walkers, once they're desperate and broken, they'll accept any leadership that promises safety. Including leadership from wolves they would have rejected under normal circumstances.""This is madness," Thorne said."This is necessity," the woman corrected. "The prophecy was always going to lead to chaos. Multiple interpretations, multiple candidates, packs divided and fighting. We're just accelerating the process. Controlling it. Ensuring th

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter forty-nine: Blood Memories

    THELMA'S POVI couldn't sleep.While the others rested, I found myself drawn back to the stream where I'd made the water dance. The pre-dawn air was cold against my skin, but I barely felt it. Something inside me was burning—not painfully, but insistently. Like a door inside my chest trying to open.I knelt by the water again, letting my fingers trail through it. The patterns came easier this time. Spirals and symbols that felt older than language. The water responded to my touch like it recognized me, like it had been waiting."You shouldn't be out here alone."I turned to find Meridith approaching, her silver-streaked hair loose around her shoulders. She looked tired—genuinely tired, not just old. Like carrying seventy years of secrets had finally caught up with her."Couldn't sleep," I said. "Too much in my head.""The eighth life," she said, sitting beside me. "It's not just changing your abilities. It's changing your perception. Making you aware of things you weren't meant to se

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter forty-eight: Why Not Just Kill Xavier

    XAVIER'S POV"Control," Meridith said. "If Aurelius is their creation, they can control him. Control the packs through him. Control the response to the Void Walkers. Control everything.""But why go through all this?" Sophie asked. "Why not just kill Xavier and be done with it?""Because," I said slowly, "they need the prophecy. Need the legitimacy it provides. If they just murdered me, I'd become a martyr. The packs would rebel. But if they can prove I'm a fraud, prove Aurelius is the true Silver Wolf, then they get everything they want with none of the backlash.""So we expose Aurelius," Anastasia said. "We prove he's artificial, and their whole plan falls apart.""If we can prove it," I said. "And we have six days to figure out how.""Five days," Cassandra corrected. "The trial is in six days, but you'll need at least one day for travel. Which means you have five days to find evidence, prepare your case, and somehow survive whatever else they throw at you between now and then.""No

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter forty-seven: Watching You

    XAVIER'S POV"My name is Cassandra," she said. "And I'm the Oracle of the Western Peaks. The one who prophesied about the 'false Silver Wolf' and the 'true' one from the North. Except..." She swallowed hard. "Except I didn't. That prophecy didn't come from me. Someone stole my voice. My visions. My authority. And they've been using it to spread lies in my name."The silence that followed was absolute."The prophecy about Aurelius," Marcus said slowly. "About the true Silver Wolf from the Northern Territories. You're saying that's fake?""I'm saying I never gave it," Cassandra corrected. "But whether it's fake or not, I can't say. Because three months ago, something came to me in the night. Something that wore my face, spoke with my voice, and saw through my eyes. It took my visions, the real ones, the ones I'd been having about the Silver Wolf and the coming darkness. And it twisted them. Made them say what it wanted them to say.""Possession," Thelma breathed."Yes. But not by Void W

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter forty-six: The Northern Shadow

    XAVIER'S POVThe next morning, I woke to find Thelma missing from our tent.The mate bond was still there, still strong, but it felt... distant. Muffled, like she was deliberately dampening it. I followed the thread of connection through the camp and into the forest beyond, where dawn light filtered through the trees in shafts of pale gold.I found her sitting by a stream, her hands submerged in the water. But the water wasn't behaving normally. It was swirling around her fingers in impossible patterns, defying gravity, forming shapes that looked almost like writing in a language I didn't recognize."How long have you been able to do that?" I asked quietly.She didn't startle. "Since yesterday. Right after the possession. I can feel things now, Xavier. Currents. Not just in water, but in... everything. Air. Earth. The space between moments. It's like my eighth life is opening doors inside me that were never meant to be opened."I sat beside her, watching the water dance. "Is it painfu
