The urgent howl that had torn Ailith from my arms still echoed in my ears as I raced through Winterspire's winding corridors. My heart pounded, a mixture of lingering desire and growing dread. I'd implored Ailith to go to her room and wait for me, promising to return with news as soon as I could. The reluctance in her eyes had been clear, but she'd understood. Her position in the pack was still precarious, and I didn't want her to be subjected to any other negativity.

As I burst into the great hall, chaos greeted me. Pack members huddled in groups, their voices a cacophony of fear and confusion. At the center of it all stood Thorne, his usually stoic face etched with worry.

"Alpha," Thorne called, his voice cutting through the din. "It's the heart tree. Something's... something's wrong."

As a collective gasp came from the crowd, I felt the blood drain from my face. The heart tree, an ancient pine at the very center of our territory, was more than just a landmark. It was our connection

  • Luna's Revenge   Epilogue

    Five Years LaterKieran moved through the sun dappled forest with the fluid grace that had marked him from his first steps, his small form darting between trees, as he tracked something only he could perceive."What do you see, little wolf?" I called, smiling as he paused to consider my question.He turned toward me, his eyes alight with discovery. They were shaped just like his father's but full of flecks of gold that hinted at his mixed heritage. "Shadow paths," he replied matter-of-factly, as if all five-year-olds could see the hidden passages between dimensions. "They're brighter today. Grandfather says it's because of the full moon coming."My smile faltered slightly at the mention of his "grandfather". He spoke of not a blood relation, but Varok, the ancient Emberfang elder whose spirit had been freed when the seals were reinforced. Though he had passed beyond the veil between worlds, Kieran had begun speaking with him shortly after his third birthday.Just one of many ways my so

  • Luna's Revenge   The End of the Rift

    With a sound like reality itself tearing, then mending, the Devourer vanished—banished back to its prison dimension, the path sealed behind it by the power of Shadowbane and the six seals working in harmony. The darkness that had surrounded us dissipated, revealing the blood moon beginning its descent from zenith, its crimson light already diminishing.We had succeeded, but at significant cost. The seals remained intact, reinforced by our earlier rituals, but their power was greatly diminished by this final working. Through our connection, I could feel them struggling to recover, to rebuild the energy we had just channeled through them.And I could feel something else—a change in our son, in the Bridge Child who had guided us through the banishment. The working had accelerated his development in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, creating a consciousness far beyond what any unborn child should possess. He had touched powers, experienced awareness, that would forever set him apart from

  • Luna's Revenge   The Final Battle

    As we prepared to descend from the Southern Seal's platform, a familiar howl split the night—Lena, signaling the beginning of the diversion. Across the caldera, figures emerged from hiding—Ice Wolves, Moonstone defectors, even a handful of Shadow Wolves who had rejected Kael's path. They converged on the Devourer from multiple directions, weapons gleaming in the blood moon's crimson light.The distraction worked. The Devourer abandoned its examination of the Southern Seal, turning to face this new, multi-pronged assault. Though I knew our allies had no hope of defeating it directly, they could buy us the time we needed to reach the sixth seal."Now," Garrick urged, supporting me as we began our descent. "While its attention is elsewhere."We moved as quickly as my weakened state allowed, using the chaos of battle to mask our approach. The fighting grew more intense as we neared the caldera floor, our allies engaging not just the Devourer but the Shadow Wolves still loyal to it. Throug

  • Luna's Revenge   The Devourer

    AilithThe Devourer emerged fully from the rift, a horror beyond comprehension. It retained a vague semblance of Kael's physical form at its center, but the similarities ended there. Its body—if such a term could be applied—was a writhing mass of darkness that shifted constantly, appendages forming and dissolving as it moved. Where Kael's face should have been, a void opened, ringed by teeth that seemed to extend inward forever."Gods," Garrick breathed beside me, his arm tightening protectively around my waist. "What have they done?"The Shadow Wolves that had been converging on our position halted, their attention diverted to the monstrosity at the caldera's center. Some fell to their knees in worship, while others backed away in evident terror—even they hadn't anticipated the true horror of what Kael would become.Through the connection established by the ritual, I could feel the five seals responding to this new threat—their energies pulsing with alarm, focusing more intensely on

  • Luna's Revenge   The Blood Moon

    I reached the seal's platform, my legs finally giving out as I collapsed at the base of the ancient stone pillar. Up close, its deterioration was even more apparent—cracks running through its surface, the carvings distorted almost beyond recognition, its light flickering like a candle in a strong wind.Placing my hands on the stone, I felt immediate resistance—not the violent opposition of the Northern Seal, but something more insidious. A slipperiness, as if the seal's energy was too unstable to grasp properly."Please," I whispered, desperation lending strength to my voice. "Hold together. Just a little longer."I began the ritual incantation, the ancient Emberfang words flowing from my lips with practiced familiarity now. The markings on my skin flared weakly in response, their glow dim and unsteady as they attempted to establish the necessary connection with the seal.But something was wrong. The circuit of energy that had formed so readily with the previous seals struggled to esta

  • Luna's Revenge   The Southern Seal

    AilithAs I turned from the seal, exhaustion threatened to overwhelm me. Four rituals completed, each taking more than the last, had left me dangerously depleted. Garrick was at my side instantly, supporting me as my legs threatened to buckle."One more," I whispered, leaning into his strength. "Just one more seal."Before he could respond, a low warning came from Gareth, who had maintained watch while I performed the ritual. "Movement below," he reported, his voice barely audible. "Shadow Wolves approaching from the south.""How many?" Garrick demanded, already calculating escape routes."At least a dozen," Gareth replied grimly. "They'll be within sight of our position in minutes.""The tunnel," Sin urged, gesturing toward the entrance we had used. "Quickly, before they spot us."We retreated toward the relative safety of the ancient network, my movements painfully slow despite Garrick's support. As we reached the tunnel entrance, I cast one last look at the Eastern Seal, now glowin
