Marked by the Moon: The Tribrid Queen Chapter 47: Watched By All, Claimed By One
The heavy iron-bound doors of the training grounds swung open with a deep, echoing creak.Conversations died instantly. The rhythmic clank of practice swords faltered. One by one, heads turned until every gaze in the vast arena settled on the pair standing at the entrance.Ethan stepped in first, his presence hitting the room like a physical weight, dark, unyielding, and absolute.But today, it was the woman beside him who stole the breath from every chest in the room.Arielle.A subtle, electric shift moved through the air. There was recognition, sharp curiosity, and something quieter, a genuine admiration. The warriors straightened instinctively, and then, as if moved by a single invisible string, they bowed low."Alpha.""And Luna."The title lingered in the air. Arielle felt it settle against her skin, heavy and real. Luna.As they rose, soft murmurs rippled through the ranks like wind through wheat."Do you see them together?""They actually look...""Perfect," one warrior wh

Arielle stood before the full-length mirror, her gaze fixed on the woman staring back at her.The fitted black combat outfit clung to her frame, sleek and precise, catching the morning light with a subtle sheen. It molded to her body as though it had been made for her alone.She reached for her fighting gloves, tightening the straps with deliberate precision, securing them firmly around her wrists, feeling the familiar weight settle over her knuckles.Then she straightened.For a moment, she simply stared at herself.And then, her gaze hardened, something cold and resolute settling deep within her chest.Finally,After the chaotic Blood Moon ritual and the overwhelming surge of ancient power that nearly consumed her, she was back.Back to training.Back to herself.And now, she could focus again.On her goals.Her jaw tightened slightly as the thoughts aligned, clear and unshakable.The goals she had set for herself to become a Luna no one would ever betray again. A Luna who would not
Marked by the Moon: The Tribrid Queen Chapter 45: The Iron Ground Selection
Leo stepped onto the Iron Grounds, and his presence cut through the noise like a blade.Behind him, over two hundred and fifty warriors were scattered across the vast training field.The air was filled with the scent of sweat, disturbed ground, and the metallic tang of steel.Dust hung in the air. Steel clashed. Wolves snarled.Bodies moved in violent rhythm, strike, dodge, counter."Enough!" Leo’s voice rang out, amplified by his Beta authority.The grounds fell silent almost instantly. All eyes turned to him.“The Alpha requires two hundred warriors,” Leo announced, his voice firm and unyielding.“You will be deployed to Stormclaw to reinforce their borders. You will defend their territory with your lives, because they are our allies.”His gaze hardened, sweeping over the sweat-drenched men.“Only the two hundred strongest will be chosen. Training begins now. Prove you are worthy.”And just like that, chaos erupted.Dust rose in thick clouds as warriors lunged at one another. It wa

Ethan stood perfectly still at the foot of the bed, his hands tucked deep into his pockets. He had been dressed for an hour, but he couldn't bring himself to leave yet.He simply stood there watching Arielle sleep.She looked peaceful, a rare sight for a woman who had endured so much.The early morning light poured into the chamber, brushing gently against her skin, making her look almost unreal… like she was still part of the moon’s world.Her silver hair was spread across the black silk pillows like a fallen star. A small smile rested on his lips.For a moment, he said nothing.Just watched.As if committing the sight of her to memory.Then—A small, unconscious smile tugged at her lips, as if she could sense his presence even in her dreams.Ethan’s smile deepened.A few minutes later, her lashes fluttered. She groaned softly , opening her eyes, only to shut them immediately, wincing as the bright morning light hit her face.Ethan moved instantly. He stepped into the light, using

(Back in the interrogation chamber)Ethan turned his gaze toward Alex, who was still cowering on the floor."Take this one out of my sight," Ethan spat. "Lock him up and starve him for a week. That will teach him the cost of disobeying my direct orders."Alex didn’t say a word as the guards dragged him out of the chamber. In truth, he was fortunate to be given such a punishment. If the Alpha had been in a more ruthless mood, he would already be dead by now.Ethan closed his eyes again, leaning back against the throne still trying to curtail his anger. He felt the beast pacing inside him, wanting to tear through the hearts of the perpetrators.But he forced himself to hold back.Not here.Not now.Most of all, not while Arielle was in the mansion. He wouldn’t want her seeing that side of him—the ruthless monster his enemies feared.Finally, he opened his eyes and looked at the remaining guards and warriors."Listen, all of you!" Ethan said, addressing them. "I will only say this once.
Marked by the Moon: The Tribrid Queen Chapter 42: The Interrogation Chamber
"On it, Alpha," Leo’s voice was sharp and immediate.He turned away from Ethan, his eyes turned a clouded, milky grey as he opened a mind-link with the mansion’s security guards and warriors.“All guards and warriors report to the interrogation chamber immediately,” his voice echoed through their minds. “And bring Alex, the guard the Alpha ordered to deliver the ritual card to Lady Arielle.”The guards’ acknowledgment buzzed back through the link. Understood.Leo’s eyes snapped back to normal as the link closed.Without wasting another second, he followed Ethan down the corridor toward the interrogation wing.The air around the Alpha was… dangerous.Heavy.Leo could feel the rage radiating from him like heat from a wildfire.And he knew better than to make even the smallest mistake tonight. One wrong move could be a death sentence.They reached the massive iron doors of the interrogation chamber.Leo hurried forward and pushed the doors open. The hinges groaned.The chamber was dimly

Seraphina lifted her gaze, every eye was on her. Warriors, Elite trainees, even servants lingering at the edge, all waiting. Waiting for the high-born Luna to accept the challenge of an outsider.She did."I accept," Seraphina said, her voice tight and sharpA faint ripple of murmurs spread throug

Arielle drew her own blade in one smooth motion. The familiar weight of the hilt steadied her.They circled.Leo struck first— a testing, controlled horizontal slash. Arielle blocked instinctively, the impact reverberating up her arms and rattling her teeth."What do you mean you know everything?"

Arielle stood before the long silver mirror, dressing for the day’s training.Her movements were methodical, almost ritualistic. She wore a brown training leathers, fitted but flexible. The kind worn by warriors who expected to be bruised and bloodied by the end of the day. She put on the leather
Marked by the Moon: The Tribrid Queen Chapter 26: It Was Her
The silence in the room was suffocating.Drusilla stood frozen, her lungs seized, as the tip of Seraphina’s cane stopped mere inches from the scrap of fallen silk. It sat mockingly atop the dark rug, a shimmering shard of evidence that could end Drusilla’s life before the sun finished its descent.
