LOGINYears passed, and the echoes of war softened into whispers. The battlefield that had once been a graveyard of ash and blood became a place of quiet remembrance. Where fallen warriors and wolves had lain, now wildflowers bloomed beneath the full moon, their petals silver in the night. Streams ran clear, carrying the scent of moss and renewal, and the wind — soft and steady — carried with it a song of peace.
The Council, under Lyra’s steady hand, became the living heart of a new order. Wolves and humans, Rogues and Hunters, learned to walk side by side. Old enmities were not forgotten, but they were laid to rest. The scars of history became a foundation, and the past became a teacher. In council chambers built of stone and moonlight, they spoke of balance, of unity, and of a shared future.
Yet the memory of that night — of the war that had ended everything and begun everything anew — remained etched into the
You really thought it was over, huh?Well… surprise.The moon can never shine if there’s no darkness.Did you know that?The words floated through the stillness like smoke, half laughter, half prophecy. They didn’t belong to any one voice—more like the echo of something ancient, teasing the edges of reality. And for a heartbeat, the world itself seemed to smirk.Then the whisper faded, swallowed by the wind.The forest was quiet. Too quiet.A hush so deep it pressed against the walls of the small cabin, a living silence that crept between the beams and across the sleeping forms within.Outside, the moon hung full and whole, silvering the leaves and the stream that ran beyond the glen.Inside, two heartbeats beat as one.Nova stirred.She woke to the soft crackle of dying embers, the scent of pine and cold air filtering through the shutters. For a moment, she lay still, tracing the rhythm of Kilian’s breathing beside her. His arm draped across her waist, heavy and warm, his fingers cur

The first light of dawn crept across the battlefield, washing the earth in pale silver. The bodies of the fallen lay quiet under the soft glow, and a hush seemed to have settled over the realm itself. The air smelled of iron and ash, but beneath it was something else — the scent of change.The Council approached in solemn silence, their steps measured and deliberate. Robes of deep indigo and grey whispered against the scorched ground, and each face was set in hard contemplation. They had come to judge Kilian. To decide his fate. But the weight of what had passed lay heavy on them, and every eye flickered toward the luminous figure before them — Nova.She stepped forward without hesitation. Moonfire shimmered along her skin, her aura bright and unwavering, a living beacon in the pale morning light. The Council stopped before her and Kilian, forming a silent ring. The air between them s
The battlefield was a graveyard of ash and blood.Steel lay broken, scattered like forgotten dreams. Armor was torn to shreds, splintered into fragments that glistened faintly in the pale moonlight. The earth itself was soaked through with the life of the fallen — warm blood mingling with the rain of dust and ash. Wolves lay still among warriors, their fur matted with grime, their breaths stilled forever. The air was heavy and suffocating, thick with smoke, the bitter scent of iron and sorrow pressing into every lungful. Above it all, the moon shone whole and unbroken — silver and cold, as if witnessing the aftermath of creation itself.Nova stood at the center, trembling like a candle about to be extinguished. Her body glowed faintly, silver veins of Moonfire still flickering beneath her skin, pulsing in rhythm with her strained heartbeat. Her chest rose and fell unevenly, breath ragged, each exhale a rasp of pain. Every m
The silence after Draven’s end lasted but a heartbeat. Then the air cracked with fury. From the ruins of the ritual circle rose the war cry of the rogues and hunters — raw, unrestrained, a chorus of grief and vengeance. The siege was reborn.Kilian rose to his feet, armor stained with silver light and blood. Around him, the pack stirred — dozens of warriors, eyes ablaze, swords drawn. They surged forward like a tide, moving toward Draven’s fortress as if the very earth itself called them to war.The gates, shattered from the collapse of the circle, offered no shelter. The rogues poured out, a tide of steel and fury, driven by the death of their master and the terror of what had been unleashed. Hunters called out in wrath, arrows loosing in unison. The air filled with the clash of blades, the roar of battle, and the cries of dying men.Nova stood at the center of the storm, her hair a halo
The night was a wound.The moon, half-swallowed by darkness, hung low and bloodless over the valley, its faint light devoured by the black clouds crawling across the sky. The forest below was silent — too silent — the kind that made even the wolves hesitate to breathe.Lyra stood beside Kilian at the head of the assembled pack. The soldiers — dozens of them, bloodied, bruised, yet unbroken — waited for his command. Their eyes burned with rage and fear, with loyalty and grief. They had already lost too many. But tonight, they knew it would end — one way or another.Kilian’s jaw was clenched tight, the veins at his temples pulsing. His golden eyes shimmered in the pale gloom, flickering faintly with the light of his wolf. He could feel Nova through the bond — faint, distant, but there. A trembling thread of silver in the back of his mind. Pain. Fear. Fire.
