MOONLIGHT REBORN Collapse
Chapter Fifty-Six — CollapseNova's POVI hadn't known Ansel had insisted on joining the extraction team until I saw him in the smoke-choked corridor ahead of us, directing wounded warriors toward a side passage with the same calm, clinical authority he'd once brought to every crisis in Moonlight's medical wing."You shouldn't be here," I said, half-shouting over the growing roar of fire spreading through the structure around us. "You were barely recovered yourself—""Someone needed to triage the wounded on the way out," he said, not slowing his work, guiding a limping warrior past him with steady hands. "I wasn't going to sit safely at Moonlight while all of you walked into this. Not after everything I already cost this pack."The fire was spreading faster than any natural burn should have, catching along support beams and old timber framing with an accelerant's unnatural speed, and I understood, with growing dread, that whatever Grigor had rigged into this stronghold's structure had
MOONLIGHT REBORN The Unfinished Formula
Chapter Fifty-Five — The Unfinished FormulaNova's POVMy hands moved faster than my conscious mind could track, three years of memorized ratios coming back to me in a rush that felt less like recall and more like muscle memory finally given permission to work without hesitation. Moongrass extract, cut with a diluted silver compound base Reid had scavenged from the breach team's supplies, adjusted against a clotting catalyst I'd only ever tested twice before in the safety of my old lab, both times on samples rather than living tissue."The ratio's wrong for a controlled dose," I muttered, mostly to myself, my mind racing through the math. "Field conditions, no proper measuring equipment, I need to compensate for imprecision without overcorrecting into toxicity—""Nova." Elena's voice, steady despite her own pain, cut through my racing thoughts. "Trust your hands. You built this knowledge in a lab with far worse conditions than you're giving yourself credit for. I watched you work on h
MOONLIGHT REBORN A Second Too Late
Chapter Fifty-Four — A Second Too LateNova's POVI found Julie in the corridor outside the chamber, and for one confused moment I couldn't understand why she was there at all — Red Moon's contingent hadn't been part of the original strike team, kept back at Reid's insistence given the coalition's still-fresh wariness after Dorian's exposure."You weren't supposed to be here," I said, my mind racing through the implications even as relief at seeing another ally alive fought against the confusion."I insisted," Julie said, breathless, blood streaking one side of her face from a cut I couldn't immediately place the source of. "After the summit, after everything my father did — I needed to prove this coalition could trust Red Moon with something that actually mattered. Reid finally agreed to let a small contingent join the second wave."I didn't have time to process the full weight of that before Mira's warning shout cut through the corridor, and I turned to see a second wave of Grigor's
MOONLIGHT REBORN Losing Control
Chapter Fifty-Three — Losing ControlNova's POVEverything narrowed to that single, silvered edge of the blade rising behind my mother's back, and I felt something in me split entirely — the feral, red-tinged instinct still crowding every sense, and underneath it, breaking through at last, a clarity sharp enough to cut through twenty years of dormant blood finally, fully awakened at the worst possible moment.I couldn't cross the distance in time. My body understood that with brutal, mathematical certainty even as every instinct screamed at me to try anyway."Down!" The word tore out of me, distorted, half-wolf, half-human, barely a word at all, but Elena's twenty years of captivity had apparently taught her to read danger faster than most, because she dropped without hesitation, folding toward the ground a half-second before the blade would have found her spine.It wasn't enough distance. The blade caught her shoulder instead of her back, a shallow, glancing wound rather than the kil
MOONLIGHT REBORN On opposite side of the wall
Chapter Fifty-Two — On Opposite Sides of the WallNova's POVI found my way back to the section where I'd left my mother by scent alone, my wolf's senses cutting through the chaos of dust and blood and unfamiliar stone with an instinctive precision I hadn't fully trusted until this exact moment mattered enough to test it.The fighting had shifted since I'd left — no longer contained to the breach point, but spreading through the stronghold's upper levels as Grigor's remaining defenders regrouped, and I felt a fresh spike of alarm the moment I saw Elena, pressed back against the wall of the chamber where I'd left her, three of Silver Moon's contributed warriors forming a loose perimeter around her that should have been protection.It took me only a heartbeat to understand it wasn't.Garret stood at the edge of that perimeter, and as I watched, he raised his weapon — not toward the Blood Fang defenders pressing in from the corridor, but toward one of our own allied warriors, a young man
MOONLIGHT REBORN Breach
Chapter Fifty-One — BreachNova's POVI dropped to my knees beside my mother the instant Grigor vanished through the door, my hands working frantically at the chains binding her wrists, my mind racing through every lock mechanism I'd ever studied in a lab full of things designed to keep dangerous compounds contained rather than people."There's a release mechanism," Elena said, her voice tight with urgency, "at the base, behind the pallet — they never bothered hiding it well, they never expected anyone to actually reach me here."I found it exactly where she said, a simple manual release built for guard convenience rather than security, and the chains fell away with a grinding clatter that felt, after twenty years of imprisonment, almost obscenely anticlimactic."Can you run," I asked, already pulling her upright, feeling how light she was, how thin the years had made her."I can run," she said, and something fierce ignited behind her exhausted eyes. "I have wanted to run for twenty y
