The morning after Lyla's trial, the air was crisp, the kind of cool that kissed her skin but hinted at a lurking chill. Sunlight streamed through the canopy of Silverwood, painting golden patterns on the ground as she trudged toward the pack’s central gathering point. Every step reminded her of the sleepless night she’d endured. Yet, despite the exhaustion, she felt alive more so than she had in years.

Her trial in the forest wasn’t just a test of survival; it had awoken something in her. Something that called out to the strange, ancient energy of Silverwood. But whatever that connection was, it remained elusive, like a word on the tip of her tongue.

When she arrived at the clearing, Eli was already waiting. Dressed in a loose hoodie and jeans, he stood near the fire pit, staring into the embers as if the answer to some unspoken question lay within them.

“You’re late,” he said without looking up.

“I’m tired,” she shot back, dropping onto one of the wooden benches that circled the fire

    The storm came with the night, an ominous wind howling through the trees as if the forest itself anticipated the coming battle. Thick clouds hung low in the sky, veiling the moon and casting the camp into shadows. Lyla stood at the edge of the clearing, her heart heavy with the weight of her growing power and the responsibility it brought.The pack was restless, their murmurs blending with the rustling of the wind. Even the forest felt different, charged with energy yet burdened by the shadow's lingering corruption. Lyla clenched her fists, willing the forest's whispers to guide her, but tonight, they were silent.As the pack prepared for Kane’s inevitable attack, a figure emerged from the shadows. Lyla’s eyes snapped to the edge of the camp, where a woman with pale skin and sharp features stood. Her presence was otherworldly, her dark cloak blending into the night like a piece of it had come alive.Eli was the first to step forward, his body tense. “Who are you?”The woman’s voice wa

    The wind howled through the forest, carrying the scent of rain and something darker something that made Lyla’s skin crawl. Standing in the clearing with the rest of the Blackwood pack, she felt the weight of her new role pressing down on her. She was no longer just an outsider trying to prove herself. She was the forest’s champion, tasked with stopping a shadow that threatened to consume everything she held dear.The memory of the Silver Grove and its trials lingered in her mind, the whispers of the ancient guardians still echoing in her ears. The forest had given her strength, but it had also shown her the cost of failure.Eli stood beside her, his green eyes scanning the horizon. The pack was gathered around them, their expressions grim but determined. Even Mason, who had been her harshest critic, stood ready, his weapon glinting in the fading light.“We don’t have much time,” Eli said, addressing the group. “Kane isn’t going to wait for us to strike first. We need to move before he

    The camp was quiet as dawn broke over the forest, the pale light casting long shadows across the clearing. The Blackwood wolves, weary but resilient, were gathering their strength after their latest victory. Lyla sat at the edge of the camp, staring into the forest as if it might offer her answers. The battle against the shadow had drained her, and though the forest’s magic still coursed through her veins, it felt heavier now, burdened by the weight of what was yet to come.She glanced down at her hands, the faint glow of the forest’s energy still lingering on her skin. It was a constant reminder of her role, one she hadn’t asked for but had come to accept.Eli approached, his movements quiet but purposeful. “You haven’t slept,” he said, sitting beside her.Lyla shook her head. “Every time I close my eyes, I see the shadow, the tree, the way it all felt so… alive.”Eli placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “You did what no one else could, Lyla. You weakened the shadow. That’s more

    The aftermath of the battle left the Blackwood wolves in a state of uneasy quiet. The dawn that followed the Ridge wolves’ retreat painted the forest in muted shades of orange and pink, but the usual serenity of the trees felt overshadowed by the lingering threat of Kane’s return.Lyla stood at the edge of the camp, her hands wrapped around the straps of her satchel. Her connection to the forest had been stronger during the battle than ever before, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that the shadow had only been a fragment of something far greater.Eli’s voice broke her thoughts. “You’ve been staring at those trees for hours.”She turned to find him walking toward her, his shirt torn from the battle but his eyes sharp and clear.“I was thinking about the shadow,” Lyla said. “What it is. It didn’t feel like something that just came from Kane. It was…older.”Eli’s jaw tightened. “You’re not wrong. The shadow’s power doesn’t belong to Kane. He’s using it, but it’s feeding off of him too.

    The forest was alive with tension, every howl in the distance like the tolling of a bell. Kane’s forces were moving quickly, their approach a menacing drumbeat in the minds of the Blackwood wolves. The camp was a hive of activity, wolves rushing to fortify defences, sharpen weapons, and prepare for the fight of their lives.Lyla stood at the edge of the clearing, her dagger strapped to her side and a satchel of herbs slung across her shoulder. She watched the others prepare, her stomach churning with a mix of fear and determination. This wasn’t like the smaller skirmishes they’d faced before. This was war.Eli approached, his green eyes sharp and focused. “Lyla,” he said, his voice calm but firm, “we don’t have much time. Kane’s bringing everything he has, and we need to be ready.”“I know,” she said, meeting his gaze. “I’ll be ready.”He placed a hand on her shoulder, the warmth of his touch grounding her. “Stick close to me. If the forest’s power reacts during the fight, we’ll need

  • Moonbound: The Rise Of The Alpha   Chapter 14: The Calm Before the Storm

    The journey back to the Blackwood camp was quieter than Lyla expected. The usual playful banter and camaraderie among the wolves had been replaced by a solemn silence. Even Mason, who rarely missed an opportunity to needle someone, walked in silence, his expression unreadable. The victory over the Dark Root’s heart had been monumental, but its cost was still being measured.Lyla felt a deep weariness settling into her bones. Her connection to the forest had strengthened in ways she could barely comprehend, but she also knew she had drawn on reserves of energy that weren’t hers to give. Every step felt heavier than the last, but she pressed on, matching Eli’s pace as they approached the clearing that marked the edge of their territory.The pack needed her now more than ever, and there was no room for weakness.As they entered the camp, the rest of the pack rose to greet them, relief and curiosity mingling on their faces. Dani was the first to speak, her voice tinged with both pride and
