Marked By Moonfire Chapter Ten - Hearts at War
The compound buzzed with unease the morning after the rogue attack. Wolves moved with taut muscles, sharpening blades with too much force, conversations cut off when Nova passed, and the air itself seemed brittle, charged with tension.Every stare felt like a dagger in her back. Whispers curled in her wake: They came because of her. She drew them here. Nova wanted to scream that it wasn’t true—that the rogues had no master, that she hadn’t called them—but in a pack this tightly knit, suspicion was as binding as chains.Kilian’s glare silenced the worst of it, but even his authority couldn’t erase the lingering doubt. Not even an Alpha could strip fear from a heart once it had rooted there.By dusk, the compound felt suffocating. Nova slipped into the forest, dagger at her hip, inhaling the cooler, sharper air. Each rustle, each flicker of shadow made her pulse spike, reminding her of the night before—the chaos, the teeth, the bond that had throbbed between her and Kilian.She sank aga
Marked By Moonfire Chapter Nine - Embers of Fate
Silence settled over the clearing, thick and heavy, carrying the scent of iron, sweat, and scorched earth. The rogues had fled, leaving only the echoes of violence behind. Nova sank to her knees, staff abandoned beside her, arms trembling. Every muscle screamed in protest, every breath burned. She had survived, but at what cost?Kilian stood a few paces away, chest rising and falling with a steadiness that belied the storm of the fight. His eyes caught hers across the clearing, glowing faintly in the moonlight, and for a heartbeat, she forgot the pain in her arms, the ache in her legs, even the lingering smell of blood.The bond throbbed between them—hot, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore. Normally, she was the hunter, the one in control, but standing there, exhausted and raw, she felt exposed. Vulnerable. And yet the pull toward him was undeniable, a tether that made her pulse thrum faster than the fight had ever done.“You should be resting,” he said softly, voice carrying acros
Marked By Moonfire Chapter eight - Moonlit Tether
The compound slept, but Nova’s body refused to rest.Her dreams had been fractured things—moonlight dripping silver across her skin, whispers in a language she didn’t know, fire burning inside her chest until she woke gasping.She pulled on her boots and slipped outside. The night was sharp and cool, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. The fires in the courtyard had burned low, leaving only embers thatglowed like dying stars.She walked without direction, letting the quiet press against her. The compound felt different at night—less like a fortress, more like a cage. Every creak of wood, every shifting shadow, made her skin crawl.And then she saw him.Kilian stood at the edge of the clearing, gazing into the forest as though he could see through the trees and into the heart of thenight itself. The moonlight carved silver lines along the scars that wrapped his forearms, catching in his dark hair. For the first time, she saw him not as Alpha, not as predator, but as aman carr
Marked By Moonfire Chapter seven - Fire and Shadows
The courtyard glowed with firelight. A great blazeroared at its center, sparks climbing into the night skyuntil they vanished into the canopy of stars. Wolvescrowded around the flames—some in human form, othersshifting between—laughing, growling, blending into a chorusof belonging.Nova lingered at the edge, arms folded tight across her chest.The warmth of the fire barely reached her, though the air wasthick with the scent of roasted meat, herbs, and smoke. Everysound grated against her—too loud, too careless, as if they hadnothing to fear. As if war and blood weren’t crouching justbeyond the trees.She crouched low, dagger resting across her knees. Old habits.Hunters never gathered like this without a reason. Huntersdidn’t laugh around fires. They sharpened blades, mappedambushes, and drank in silence. To sit in peace like this felt liketempting fate.A ripple of laughter rose from the circle as two wolves wrestlednear the flames, shifting mid-grapple, bodies twisting,
Marked By Moonfire Chapter six - First blood, First step
The morning bled slowly into the compound, pale sunlight dripping through the trees like liquid gold. Smoke from early fires curled into the air, mingling with the earthy scent of damp soil and pine. Nova stepped out of her small lodge, the chill biting her cheeks, her dagger strapped at her hip like a lifeline. Every step on the frost-tinged grass made her muscles tense, reminding her how long it had been since she had moved freely without caution. The distant caw of a crow and the rustle of leaves under the feet of early risers added a quiet rhythm to the morning, grounding her in the world even as unease coiled in her stomach.The world around her moved with purpose. Wolves in human form carried buckets of water, hauled timber, and sharpened blades. Children darted between huts, laughing, their eyes flashing gold before fading back to human brown. Above it all came the steady rhythm of the compound waking: the thud of fists against flesh, the crack of wood against wood, the barked
Marked By Moonfire Chapter five - Silvered Dreams
Night pressed down on the compound like a living thing. The fires in the courtyard had burned to embers, and the laughter of the pack faded into silence, replaced by the steady rhythm of crickets and the distant hoot of an owl. The air smelled faintly of smoke and damp pine, and even in the quiet, Nova could feel something in the shadows—an invisible weight she couldn’t name, a presence she both feared and couldn’t pull away from.She sat on the edge of her narrow cot, boots still laced, dagger balanced across her knees. She told herself she didn’t need sleep, that exhaustion was safer than dreams. But her body betrayed her, eyelids heavy, heart dragging her into restless slumber.When sleep finally came, it was not kind.She found herself in a field washed silver by moonlight. The grass stretched endlessly, sharp and glistening as blades. Above, the moon spilled light too bright to be natural, searing across her skin. She tried to shield her eyes, but the glow sank deeper, pressing a
