Luna's Last Oath Sequel Teaser: Blood Of The Forgotten
The valley had begun to breathe again. For weeks, the air of Ravenshade had carried nothing but the acrid tang of blood and smoke, but now, when the morning mist lifted, the mountains smelled of pine and wet stone again. Wolves padded through the courtyards and the training fields with less tension in their shoulders. The wounded healed. Graves were marked with fresh stones, and pups had begun to chase each other through the grass without flinching at every sound. Nicole watched them from the ridge above the camp, her cloak drawn tight around her shoulders. They looked freer than she felt. Every laugh that rang out below reminded her of what it had cost to win this fragile calm: the council broken, Tomas silenced, Brian scarred but alive, Silas pushed to the edges like a shadow that refused to die. Brian’s hand brushed hers, grounding her. “You’re holding your breath again.” She let it out slowly, the ache in her chest loosening. “I don’t know if I’ve stopped since the battle.” He sai
Luna's Last Oath Epilogue: The Howl Beyond The Dawn
The storm had passed. It did not feel like peace, not yet, but there was a stillness to the air that had not existed before. Ravenshade had always carried tension like a shadow—something waiting to spring, to rupture, to remind every wolf that safety was only ever borrowed but in the weeks after the fires and the clash that nearly shattered them all, something shifted. Nicole could feel it each morning when she woke. The silence was not sharp anymore. It was wide, open. She rose before the others, a habit she had not been able to break. Her body remembered too well the nights of patrols, the endless hours watching for signs of betrayal. Dawn became her sanctuary. She would dress simply, slip her boots on, and walk the length of the keep until the horizon bled silver and gold. That morning, frost still clung to the earth. The air burned cold in her lungs as she crossed the courtyard. Her boots crunched on stone blackened by fire, but moss was already daring to grow along the cracks. Li
Luna's Last Oath Chapter 90: A Dawn Remade
The morning dawned slow, spilling light across the ruined courtyard. The fires had long since been doused, but their memory lingered: black scars where flames had licked stone, ash ground into the cracks beneath boot and paw. The pack gathered again, not for battle, not for mourning, but for something rarer. Renewal. Nicole stood at the center.Her cloak was simple, stripped of ornament. Her throat bore no jewels, no mark of vanity. Only the scars of battle and the dark edge of exhaustion set her apart from the others. She did not want to stand above them, she wanted to stand among them, though every wolf knew she carried the weight no one else could bear. Brian stood to her right, his presence not loud but steady, a counterweight to the fury that often threatened to tear her apart. Silas stood further back, among the shadows of the council, his expression unreadable but his eyes sharp, burning, unwilling to look away. Elara kept to the left, not hidden, not silent. She had chosen her
Luna's Last Oath Chapter 89: Ashes To Oaths
Dawn broke red across the sky. Not the soft blush of morning, but the deep, angry hue of coals still smoldering after a fire. Nicole stood at the edge of the courtyard, staring at the light spreading over the forest canopy. It should have felt like rebirth. Instead, it felt like a warning. The courtyard had been scrubbed clean overnight. Blood still clung faintly to the stone between the cracks, but the worst of it had been washed away by the hands of those who had not dared to defy her. The air still carried the sharp tang of iron, threaded with smoke from torches that had burned through the night.Today, the pack would swear. One way or another. Behind Nicole, the council chamber doors creaked open. The elders filed out, one by one, their faces grave, their eyes shadowed with sleeplessness. They had pressed her after the violence, had demanded swift resolution, and she had given them her answer: unity must be made, not begged. The pack had until sunrise to choose their place. Kneel,
Luna's Last Oath Chapter 88: The Cost Of Love
The chamber had emptied in fits and starts, leaving only the echo of footsteps and the smolder of torches guttering against stone. Brian had lingered a heartbeat longer than the others, his gaze heavy on her, unreadable. Silas had not looked back at all. Now it was only Nicole. Alone. She leaned her palms against the council table, the wood scarred by centuries of decrees, of battles decided in words that became law. The grain felt warm beneath her touch, almost alive or maybe that was her own pulse, thrumming too loud in her veins. Her decision should have felt like victory. It should have solidified the ground beneath her feet, given her the certainty she had craved through endless nights of blood and fire. Instead, the silence pressed harder, heavier, as though the walls themselves were waiting for her to crack. She let her breath out slowly, though it shook at the edges. Brian. She had chosen him not with tenderness, not with the naïve certainty of a girl still dazzled by the bon
Luna's Last Oath Chapter 87: The Alpha's Choice
Dawn broke pale and gray, a sky veined with bruised clouds that seemed to mirror the pack’s mood. The courtyard stones had been scrubbed clean of blood, but Nicole swore she could still smell it, the iron tang of wolves who had fallen, of trust split open. The summons came with no ceremony. A sharp knock at her chamber door, a young runner with fear in his eyes: “The council calls you to the chamber. Now.” She had expected it, but her stomach still tightened. Last night’s violence had burned through the pack like wildfire. If she didn’t meet it head-on, it would consume everything she had fought for. Elara walked beside her down the corridor, silent, but Nicole could feel the weight of her friend’s vow. It was an invisible tether, a reminder she was not alone. Yet even Elara’s presence could not soften the chill that pressed against her spine when the heavy doors of the chamber opened. The hall was full. Council members at the raised seats, wolves lined along the walls, their faces et
