Victor's POV

The guard’s face drained of color, and I could see his heart hammering in his chest. Good. He should be scared. He didn’t know what the hell he was dealing with, didn’t know what was coming. But I wasn’t going to wait anymore. Julian was mine to deal with, and if anyone thought they could just waltz back in after everything, they had another thing coming.

Julian didn’t know it yet, but this time, he was going to pay. And I wasn’t going to let anyone stand in my way.

Just then—his voice again.

“Enough. Let him go.”

It was calm. Too calm. That voice—smooth, steady, like he hadn’t done a damn thing wrong, like he still belonged here.

My breath caught in my throat. My grip on the knife tightened, knuckles white, jaw clenched so hard I thought my teeth would crack. My head snapped toward the sound, and there he was. Julian. Standing like he had every right to breathe the same air as me.

I nearly lost it.

I lunged—rage crashing over me like a wave—blade raised, ready to end h

  • Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 93~

    Aria's POV I didn’t wait.Didn’t need order and sure didn't need any strategy.I charged head on for war.The battlefield was madness—flesh and fire and steel and fur—but my mind was clear. One target at a time. One threat at a time. I was done being hidden. Done being the secret in someone else’s war.A Shadow Blood warrior came at me from the side, massive brown wolf, jaws open, claws up. Too slow.I ducked under his swipe and drove into him like a blade—shoulder first, full weight. He went down hard, and I was on him before he could blink. My teeth found the side of his throat. One twist. One snap. He didn’t get back up.Another came. Screaming. Claws aimed for my belly.I twisted midair, letting his slash just graze me, and slammed into his side with both paws. We rolled through the dirt, a blur of fur and rage, and I bit down into his shoulder until I felt bone grind. He howled. I didn't stop. I tore, again and again, until he was just another shape on the bloodied grass.Breath

  • Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 91~

    Chapter 91Victor POVThe wind blew strongly across the high ridge, strong and heavy.And below, the valley stretched wide and waiting—bare of movement, thick with tension. The Blackmist border loomed in the near distance. So close I could smell it.Enough waiting.I turned from the ridge, eyes sweeping over the warriors assembled behind me. Two hundred of them. The best. Trained in fire and blood. My shadow wolves, bound by oath and fear and the quiet promise of power I had yet to unleash.They were watching me now—silent, focused, waiting for my word.I bared my teeth in a grin that held no warmth. Only hunger.“I’m done waiting,” I said, voice low but sharp enough to cut through the wind. “Every hour we waste gives them time to prepare. Time to doubt. Time to hope.”A ripple of unease moved through the front ranks. I welcomed it.“Hope,” I spat, stepping forward. “That’s what makes them weak. That’s what makes them foolish. That’s what ends tonight.”The crowd began to shift—eyes

  • Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 90~

    Luca POVI stared at the maps spread across my desk, my mind still squirling with thoughts. I’d looked at this same terrain for hours, memorized every tree line, every slope. But nothing made sense today. Every route I drew ended in blood.Victor’s men weren’t just testing our borders—they were taunting us.I rubbed the heel of my hand against my temple. Sleep had been a luxury I hadn’t tasted in three days. Aria’s voice had been the only thing tethering me to sanity. Her sharp, grounded logic. Her refusal to let me spiral.But she hadn’t come by tonight. And that silence was starting to claw at my chest.A knock landed against my door, sharp and quick.“Enter,” I said, too tired to care who it was.A guard stepped in, barely able to breath like he ran a marathon to get here. “Alpha,” he said, then hesitated—like he was about to deliver a death sentence.I straightened, already on edge. “Spit it out.”He cleared his throat. “One of the East Wing warriors… Zane… he said Aria collapse

  • Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 89~

    Light slipped through the curtains in lazy stripes, soft and quiet like it wasn’t supposed to be waking me. But my body had other ideas. I shifted under the blankets, trying to ignore the twist in my stomach that had been hanging around for days now. That kind of nausea that doesn’t just come and go—it lingers, waiting to catch you off guard.Today, though, it was worse. Way worse.I peeled my eyes open, blinking against the pale morning light. My body felt heavy. Sitting up was a slow, clumsy thing, and my legs threatened to give out beneath me. I grabbed the edge of the bed, steadying myself with a breath I didn’t know I was holding.Then it hit.The sickness, sharp and cruel. I barely made it to the side before doubling over, the world tilting sideways as I emptied everything I had. The sound of it felt loud in the quiet room, more raw than I expected.When it was over, I stayed there, leaning against the wall, chest shaking, trying to catch my breath. The sting at the corners of

  • Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 88~

    Aria's POV The clang of blades striking echoed across the training fields, rhythmic and sharp. Warriors were everywhere—young, old, seasoned, raw—each one locked in the dance of war, prepping for something they all knew was coming. Elena walked quietly beside me, arms folded, her face unreadable. I kept my eyes on the field but my thoughts wandered.It was strange seeing them all train like this, some of them barely more than boys, clinging to discipline to hide the fear simmering beneath their skin. This wasn’t practice anymore. This was survival prep.“You think they’ll hold if Victor storms the borders?” I asked.Elena gave a dry laugh. “They’ll try. Most will die first. But they’ll try.”We slowed our steps near a group of younger warriors—maybe no older than twenty—practicing close-range maneuvers. One of them broke away when he saw us. He was tall, his black hair tied back, sweat shining down his neck. He jogged over, wearing the kind of smile that had gotten him into and out o

  • Luna’s Second Chance    ~Chapter 87~

    Luca’s POVThe war table was scattered with maps—hand-drawn layouts of the South Wing, border trails, known routes Victor might use. I leaned forward, elbow resting beside a marked-out path leading from the valley toward the ridge.“We double their numbers,” Elijah was saying, eyes narrowed. “But they’ve got the position. If they’ve fortified the South Wing, it won’t be easy picking them off without a loss.”“Then we don’t go in blind,” I said, tapping one of the corners of the map. “We funnel them. Push them toward the ridge and cut them off from supplies. If we force their hand, they’ll slip.”He nodded, his focus locked for a moment—until it wasn’t.A long silence passed between us before he finally spoke, more cautious now. “And Elena?”My head didn’t move, but I felt my shoulders tense.“What about her?” I asked, though I already knew.“You haven’t looked her in the eye since the meeting,” Elijah said, voice low. “And earlier... she seemed like she wanted to speak to you.”I exha
