The jet ride home was quiet.

But Lycian’s phone was blowing up.

Messages from spies.

Reports from the border.

Kaelen wasn't bluffing.

Troops were moving.

Tanks were rolling toward the snow line.

"He's mobilizing," Lycian said.

"Faster than I thought."

"We have a month, maybe less."

"We need allies."

Arielle looked out the window.

"You have the Vampires."

"Neutral," Lycian corrected.

"They won't fight for us unless there's profit."

"What about Witches?"

"Hate wolves."

"What about Faes?"

    The jet ride home was quiet.But Lycian’s phone was blowing up.Messages from spies.Reports from the border.Kaelen wasn't bluffing.Troops were moving.Tanks were rolling toward the snow line."He's mobilizing," Lycian said."Faster than I thought.""We have a month, maybe less.""We need allies."Arielle looked out the window."You have the Vampires.""Neutral," Lycian corrected."They won't fight for us unless there's profit.""What about Witches?""Hate wolves.""What about Faes?""Unreliable.""We are on our own, Arielle."Arielle tapped her chin."Not necessarily.""You have an army, Lycian.""But you lack specialized gear.""You need potions.""You need Void-tech.""And I know where to get it."Lycian looked at her."Where?""The Undercity."Lycian frowned."The Black Market?""That place is a cesspool.""Criminals. Outcasts. Rogue mages.""Exactly," Arielle grinned."My people.""They hate the Inquisition.""If we offer them gold and protection...""They will build us weapons

    News of the explosion traveled fast.By morning, it was everywhere.The news channels called it a "terrorist attack."The Inquisition called it a "gas leak."But the underworld knew the truth.Someone had hit Kaelen. Hard.And they had walked away.In the Haven, the mood was electric.The wolves weren't scared anymore.They were excited.For years, they had hidden behind their walls.Now, they had struck back.And they knew who was responsible.The Glitch.Arielle sat in the mess hall.She was eating breakfast.Bacon. Eggs. Toast.Normal food felt weird after eating magic.But she needed to keep up appearances.Sera sat next to her.The golden wolf was in human form now.She was a cute girl, maybe sixteen.She ate like a starving animal."Slow down," Arielle laughed."Nobody is going to steal your food."Sera swallowed a whole sausage."Habit," she mumbled."Omegas eat fast or don't eat at all."Arielle’s smile faded.She pushed her plate toward Sera."Have mine.""I'm not hungry."Th

    The armory was a fortress.Concrete walls. Razor wire. Searchlights sweeping the snow.It sat on a frozen cliff edge overlooking the sea.Lycian parked the jet two miles out."Stealth mode," he said."The sensors here are sensitive.""They pick up thermal signatures."Arielle looked at the complex through binoculars."How many guards?""Fifty. Maybe sixty.""Plus automated turrets.""And three Battle-Mages."Arielle lowered the binoculars."Battle-Mages are annoying.""They shield everything.""Can you handle the physical guards?"Lycian checked his assault rifle."I can handle an army.""I need you to neutralize the Mages.""Drop the shields.""Then I go loud."They moved through the snow.Arielle didn't leave footprints.She floated an inch above the ground.A trick she learned from the Void Core.Lycian moved like a ghost.For a massive man, he made zero noise.They reached the perimeter fence.It hummed with electricity."Ten thousand volts," Lycian whispered."If I touch it, alar

  • Killing The Moon   Chapter 7: The Vault

    The Vault wasn't a room.It was a cavern.Carved deep into the heart of the glacier.The walls were thick ice, reinforced with steel beams.Guards stood at the entrance.Four of them. Elite class.They wore heavy exoskeletons over their uniforms.They saw Sera trotting down the hall.They relaxed slightly.Then they saw Arielle.Weapons raised."Halt!" the lead guard barked."Restricted area. Alpha clearance only."Sera growled deep in her throat.It sounded like thunder in the narrow tunnel.The guards hesitated.That wasn't an Omega growl.That was an Alpha-tier warning.Arielle didn't stop walking."I have clearance," she said calmly." Verbal order from King Lycian.""Protocol Code: Purge."The guards exchanged looks.Purge?That code hadn't been used in fifty years.It meant martial law.It meant execute on sight."Verify," the lead guard said into his comms.Silence on the line.Then, Lycian’s voice crackled through."Let her in.""Give her whatever she wants.""And if she point

    The courtyard was chaos.Lycian didn't fight like a duelist.He fought like a natural disaster.His storm-grey wolf form crashed into Freya.Freya shifted mid-air.A sleek, white wolf.She tried to dodge.But Lycian was faster.He clamped his jaws onto her shoulder.He slammed her into the frozen ground.CRACK.The ice beneath them shattered.Freya yelped.She kicked out with her hind legs.Her claws raked across Lycian’s chest.It didn't even slow him down.He roared, shaking her violently.The pack watched in stunned silence.Their King was mauling his Second-in-Command."Stop!" a Beta guard shouted.He stepped forward, confused."Alpha, what are you doing?"Lycian ignored him.He threw Freya across the yard.She skidded across the ice, leaving a trail of blood.She shifted back to human form.Naked. Bleeding. shivering.But she wasn't defeated.She reached into a pile of snow.She pulled out a dagger.Not steel.Silver.And it was glowing with purple runes."Inquisition magic," Ari

  • Killing The Moon   Chapter 5: The Hunger

    The crystals were delicious.Arielle ate three.Then five.Then the whole bowl was empty.She licked the blue dust from her fingers.The hunger in her gut finally settled.She felt buzzed.Hyper-aware.Her hearing stretched out past the heavy oak door.She could hear footsteps in the hallway.Whispers."Is she in there?""The King's pet?""I heard she has no scent.""Maybe she's a witch.""We should kill her before she curses the pack."Arielle walked to the balcony doors.She opened them.The wind howled, carrying snow into the room.She stepped out.The cold didn't bite anymore.The mana in her blood acted like a furnace.She looked down.Fifty feet below, a training yard was carved into the ice.Wolves were sparring.Shirtless men and women in tactical pants.Punching. Kicking. Shifting mid-air.It was brutal ballet.They were fast. Strong.Discipline radiated from them.Damian's pack was a gang of thugs compared to this.This was an army.A man in the center of the yard looked up.
