The wind carried a heavy stillness through the Blackwood camp, a prelude to something ominous. Though the light of the grove’s victory over the corrupted land lingered faintly in their minds, the pack knew it was temporary. Kane had retreated, but he hadn’t been defeated. The destruction of the ancient slab had only delayed his plans, not stopped them.

Lyla sat on a rock near the campfire, her fingers idly tracing patterns in the dirt. The exhaustion from the battle still clung to her, but the forest’s whispers were louder than ever. They urged her to prepare, their tone both desperate and insistent.

Eli approached, his footsteps soft but deliberate. “You’ve been quiet,” he said, sitting beside her.

“Quiet feels safer,” she replied, her voice low. “The forest is restless, Eli. It knows something’s coming.”

“We all feel it,” he admitted. “The pack is on edge. Kane’s planning something, and we need to figure out what before it’s too late.”

Lyla turned to him, her eyes shadowed with worr

    The morning air was sharp, biting against Lyla’s skin as she stepped through the ruins of the battlefield.The fires had long since died out, leaving behind only the charred remains of what had once been warriors, enemies, and pieces of a world that no longer existed.The world was changing.Because she was changing it.Her throne was no longer a seat made of shadows alone.It was built from the ashes of the old order.She had won.But the cost had been steep.The Elders had been forced into retreat.The packs that had once ruled these lands now watched from the shadows, waiting, hesitating afraid.Lyla inhaled deeply, her silver eyes locked onto the horizon.The weight of what came next settled over her shoulders like a storm cloud.Because even though she had struck firstThe Elders would not stay silent.They would strike back.And this time, they would come with everything they had left.The Marked Ones gathered in the heart of the ruins, their silver eyes gleaming in the dim ligh

    The sun had barely begun to rise when Lyla stood at the highest point of the ruins, watching.The sky was painted in the dull shades of pre-dawn, the first hint of light barely breaking over the horizon.But the land beneath it was already drenched in blood.Her warriors moved through the aftermath of the battle, tending to the wounded, stacking the dead, preparing for what would come next.Because this was not the end.It was barely the beginning.Lyla inhaled deeply, feeling the weight of it settle in her chest.She could almost hear the echoes of the last battle still ringing through the ruinsThe clash of steel.The snarls of wolves.The cries of the dying.She had thought, for a moment, that winning would bring her something close to relief.But all she felt was pressure.Because war was not just about fighting.It was about what came after.And right now, she was standing in the ruins of what had once been a homeAnd turning it into the foundation of an empire.She turned away f

    The battlefield was silent now, but the air still carried the weight of the war that had just been fought.Lyla stood amidst the smoldering ruins, her breath steady, but her mind racing.The Elders had struck first.They had come for her with fire and fury.And she had sent them back in pieces.The bodies of fallen warriors littered the ground, their blood staining the broken stones beneath her feet.The Marked Ones had won.But it did not feel like victory.Not yet.Because she could feel itThis was only the beginning.Her warriors moved around her, gathering their dead, tending to the wounded.Some whispered among themselves, stealing glances at their Queen.Because they had seen it.The moment when she had caught the Elder’s attack.The moment she had sent it back tenfold.The moment she had proven herself unstoppable.And the moment she had proven them right to fear her.Lyla exhaled slowly, watching as Rhyne approached, his silver eyes hard.“They underestimated us,” he said, hi

    The scent of blood was thick in the air.Lyla stood in the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by the bodies of the fallen.The fight had ended hours ago, but the echoes of it still rang in her ears: the clash of steel, the snarls of wolves, the screams of the dying.Her warriors moved through the wreckage, gathering their wounded, finishing off any enemy soldiers who still clung to life.The Marked Ones did not leave survivors.This was not just a battle.It was a message.A warning to anyone who dared to stand against her.And yetAs she looked at the faces of the dead, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something had shifted.Something inside her.She had won.But at what cost?Her warriors had set up a temporary camp at the edge of the battlefield, fires burning low, casting long shadows against the trees.Lyla sat at the center, her second-in-command Rhyne at her side.The Marked generals gathered around her, their expressions grim.“We hold this territory now,” Rhyne said, hi

    The wind whispered through the trees, carrying the scent of war.Lyla stood at the edge of the ruins, her eyes fixed on the dark horizon where her enemies waited.She could feel them.Packs gathering. Alphas planning. Elders whispering in fear.She had forced them into action.Now, they would try to stop her.The Marked Ones moved like shadows, their presence silent yet powerful.They had pledged themselves to her, and in return, she would lead them to victory.Or to death.But she would not fall.Not here.Not now.The camp was filled with movement.Weapons sharpened.Armor adjusted.Whispers of battle plans exchanged in the cold night air.The Marked Ones did not fear war.They welcomed it.They had lived in exile, hunted by the very wolves who now sought to eradicate them completely.This was not just a fight for power.It was a reckoning.Lyla knew that the moment the first howl broke through the silence, there would be no turning back.Her silver eyes scanned her warriors, measur

  • Moonbound: The Rise Of The Alpha   Chapter 67: The Path of No Return

    Lyla sat on the throne of shadows, her fingers gripping the cold, shifting arms of the seat. It was not stone. It was not wood. It was something alive, pulsing with energy, shifting beneath her touch as though testing her.She had thought victory would feel different.That taking her place as Queen would bring some form of relief.But all she felt was pressure.Weight.Like she was sinking into something deeper than she could control.The Marked Ones stood before her, waiting.Their silver eyes reflected the dim torchlight, unwavering in their devotion.She was their ruler now.But was she their leader?Or had she just become another weapon for them to follow?The thought sent a chill down her spine.Because deep down, she wasn’t sure of the answer.The Marked Ones were silent, their presence like a storm waiting to break.Her second-in-command, a warrior with scars running across his arms like a map of past battles, stepped forward."We have waited long enough, my Queen," he said.Ly
