Nicole

The chamber still smelled of secrets. Of Elara’s fear-sweat and Silas’s smoldering restraint. Nicole could taste it on her tongue, acrid and bitter, but she didn’t spit it out. She let it settle, burn her throat, fuel her lungs.

By the time she moved, her decision was already iron.

“Enough shadows,” she said, and the words weren’t for Elara alone they were for Silas too. For every wolf who would hear of this moment, whether whispered or roared. “If they want to test me, they’ll get no rumors to hide behind. We drag them into the open.”

Silas’s jaw ticked. He looked like a man balancing on the knife’s edge between agreement and defiance. His silence wasn’t weakness it was calculation. But she didn’t need his calculations. Not now.

Nicole strode across the room, every step purposeful, the fury simmering into something colder, sharper. The kind of fire that didn’t flare and burn out, the kind that consumed slowly, thoroughly, until nothing remained but ash.

  • Luna's Last Oath   Chapter 78: The Alpha's Oath

    The morning rose muted, as though the land itself knew the weight of what was about to unfold. A mist clung to the edges of the territory, swallowing the scars of battle but not the scent. The earth still bore blood in its roots, the ashes of pyres clung to the air, and the silence was the kind that could split into howls at the smallest spark. Nicole stood at the edge of the courtyard where the oath would be taken. For days, she had worn the mantle of leadership by necessity, directing the broken, binding the fractured, forcing wolves to obey in the chaos of aftermath but today would be different. Today, it would not be necessity that bound them to her, it would be choice or at least, the performance of one.A narrow corridor of wolves opened before her as she walked forward. Some bowed their heads, their movements sharp with conviction. Others dipped reluctantly, their eyes averted but not lowered enough to hide the tension coiled in them. Nicole’s gaze swept over each one, memorizi

  • Luna's Last Oath   Chapter 77: Elara's Secret

    Elara had never been good at sleeping when the pack stirred. The walls here carried every sound from whispers, boots on stone, to the restless pacing of wolves who could not find peace. Tonight, it was worse. The storm of voices that had broken outside Nicole’s chamber still hadn’t settled. She hugged her knees to her chest in the narrow cot, the shadows of the barracks stretching long over her. Each murmur beyond the door felt like claws raking across her spine. Nicole’s fury still lingered in her mind—Alpha-strong, terrifying, unstoppable but it hadn’t silenced the whispers. If anything, it had made them sharper. She slipped from her bed. The air in the corridor was damp and cold. Wolves moved in clusters, speaking low, their eyes darting. Elara kept her head down as she passed them, the taste of unease sharp on her tongue. She told herself she was only walking, only breathing yet her feet carried her deeper into the warren of tunnels beneath the council chamber. That was when she h

  • Luna's Last Oath   Chapter 76: Blood Between Us

    The walls of her chamber felt too close. Nicole paced the length of the room, the wooden boards creaking under her boots. Her body ached from the weight of the battle, but the sharper pain was inside. It was gnawing, restless, leaving no peace. Shadows seemed to breathe from the corners, whispering the doubts she had overheard on every path outside. Wolves watching. Wolves waiting. Wolves whispering and Silas. Always Silas. He leaned against the door with his arms crossed, gaze locked on her as if daring her to break first. He hadn’t spoken since they stepped inside. The silence stretched between them, taut as a bowstring. “Say it,” Nicole snapped finally, spinning to face him. “Whatever’s been sitting on your tongue since the yard. Spit it out.” His jaw tightened. “You want it plain? Fine. You’re losing them.”The words landed like claws to her chest. She sucked in a breath, fighting the instinct to bare her teeth. “You think I don’t know that? You think I can’t smell their doubt on

  • Luna's Last Oath   Chapter 75: The Wolves In The Shadow

    Elara could not shake the sound of their voices.The chamber door had closed behind her, yet the words still curled in her ears like smoke, seeping into her lungs until it felt as though she could not breathe.“…she isn’t ready. She isn’t one of us.”“…a Fury-born Alpha is a curse, not a blessing.”“…better to bleed under Tomas than to kneel under her.”Every syllable replayed, carrying the quiet venom of wolves who did not dare raise their muzzles in open defiance yet. It left her stomach roiling. She wrapped her cloak tighter around her shoulders as she slipped through the torch-lit hall. Wolves brushed past her, some with murmured greetings, others silent. She saw them now with new eyes. Every sidelong glance seemed sharper, every hush of conversation more dangerous. It was as though the shadows themselves had sprouted teeth. Elara had thought victory meant safety. Nicole had survived the Fury’s storm, had taken her rightful place, had held her ground when even the council hesitate

  • Luna's Last Oath   Chapter 74: Echoes Of The Chamber

    The chamber still smelled of blood and smoke. No matter how many candles were lit or how many braziers smoldered, the air would not cleanse itself of the memory of war. The council’s decree had rung like a bell across the stone walls only hours ago, but its echo lingered now like a bruise: Nicole, Alpha, not contested, not temporary. Recognized. Yet the silence that followed was heavier than any chorus of approval. Nicole sat on the edge of the long council table, fingers curling against the cold wood, her body stiff as though she had to brace herself against the weight of her own title. She did not wear a crown. There was no mantle of fur or chain of command laid across her shoulders. Only the eyes of every wolf in the territory that had followed her here and the ghosts of those who had fallen believing she would lead them.Silas stood near the far wall, half in shadow, his arms crossed but not in defiance. In retreat. She could see it, the way his jaw set hard enough to crack, the r

  • Luna's Last Oath   Chapter 73: The Heart's Decision

    The silence in the Alpha’s chamber was a kind of weight all its own. Heavy, unmoving, it pressed down against the stone walls and carved beams as though daring her to fill it. Nicole sat at the long table where so many decrees had been forged, her fingers splayed across its scarred surface. The wood was cool beneath her skin, grounding her when everything else felt like it was shifting sand. This was supposed to be triumph. The council had bent, reluctantly, viciously, but they had bent. The pack had knelt. The battle was over. Her enemies lay scattered in blood and ashes, Tomas broken, the splintering quelled with steel and fire. By all accounts, she had achieved what no wolf outside of the bloodline had ever done. She had taken the Alpha’s throne, not inherited it. Seized it. Owned it. So why, in the stillness after the storm, did victory taste like ash in her mouth? Her breath was shallow. She traced one of the gouges in the table, imagining the claws that had carved it years ago i
