Samantha’s POV

The throne room shimmered with silver light, moonbeams slanting through the high glass panes as if the Goddess herself had chosen to bless this day. Banners of Blood Moon and Crescent Moon hung side by side, their symbols interwoven in a single thread—a sign of unity, of change. My heart thudded beneath the ceremonial cloak draped over my shoulders.

“You’re trembling,” Gabriel murmured from behind me, his voice rich and grounding.

I drew a breath, steadying the flutter of nerves that even my wolf couldn’t tame. “I’m not,” I lied softly.

He chuckled low, warm against the shell of my ear, and I felt his hands slide over the cloak, smoothing the heavy fabric into place. The subtle scent of cedar and musk clung to him, pulling me back to the quiet strength I’d leaned on so many times before.

“They’ll follow you, Samantha,” he said, voice dipped in certainty. “They just don’t know it yet.”

When I turned to him, his storm-gray eyes held a glint of something more than r

  • Moonbound to Power    EPILOGUE: UNDER THE ETERNAL MOON

    Third-Person POV – Omniscient The battlefield was silent. The last echoes of war had faded into the wind, leaving behind the hush of a world reborn. The ground was scorched where shadows once marched, their whispers now nothing more than dust beneath the heel of dawn. Wolves in silver and black armor stood among the ruins, heads bowed—not in defeat, but in reverence. Above them, the moon lingered pale against the bleeding sky, its glow softer than the steel of victory, yet stronger than any blade. It had watched them fight. It had watched them bleed. And now, it watched them rise. At the center of the clearing stood two figures—side by side, their bond blazing like fire and starlight. Gabriel, Alpha of Blood Moon, his storm-gray eyes carved from iron and devotion, a leader who had faced the abyss and returned unbroken. And Samantha—the White Wolf, daughter of the Moon, no longer a cursed orphan but a Luna, a Princess, and the prophecy fulfilled. Her cloak rippled behind her, whi

  • Moonbound to Power    CHAPTER 50: THE WHITE WOLF’S LEGACY

    Samantha’s POV The moonlight painted the royal balcony in silver, soft as a lover’s touch. Below, the kingdom slept in peace—a fragile peace we had bled for. My fingers curled around the railing, the weight of the day pressing against me like a second skin. From this height, the horizon seemed endless, but I knew better. Shadows always lurked beyond the light. “Still awake?” The voice I could find in any darkness came from behind me, low and rich, curling through the night air like smoke. Gabriel stepped into the moon’s glow, his ceremonial coat abandoned, leaving him in a white shirt that clung to the hard planes of his chest. His hair was mussed, like he’d dragged his hands through it a dozen times. And yet, he looked every bit the Alpha—the king beside me. “I couldn’t sleep,” I admitted. “It doesn’t feel real. Everything we’ve fought for… today, it all changed.” He came closer, and the world shrank until it was just us and the moon. His hand found mine, rough warmth covering

  • Moonbound to Power    CHAPTER 48. MOTHER OF THE BLOOD PACK

    The days following Samantha’s rise as Luna were relentless. Duties pressed in from every corner—meetings, disputes, the lingering unease of looming threats whispered by the Alpha Council. Yet she carried it with a calm steadiness, never allowing the weight to crush her. But it wasn’t in the council chambers or among warriors that her true strength shone. It was with the young. The Blood Moon’s children had always been trained hard, their play edged with discipline and survival. Since Crescent Moon’s fall, many orphans had joined their ranks, scarred by loss. Fear and bitterness still clung to them like shadows. Samantha saw it first when she walked past the training yard. A boy no older than ten had fallen hard, his knees scraped bloody. Instead of comfort, an older instructor barked at him to get up. The boy’s lip trembled, his eyes hollow. “Enough,” Samantha’s voice cut like steel. Every head turned. The instructor stiffened, bowing quickly. “Luna—” She crouched beside the bo

  • Moonbound to Power    CHAPTER 47. THE LUNA’S RISE

    The Blood Moon Pack grounds still glowed with traces of the wedding celebration, but already, duty called. Samantha stood before the great hall, the symbol of her new authority etched into her wrist, its faint silver glow, a reminder of the Moon’s blessing. Her gown of white and silver was gone; now she wore her Luna’s mantle—deep crimson lined with fur, a crescent embroidered on the back. The weight of it pressed against her shoulders, not with dread, but with responsibility. The pack gathered in silence. Their faces held a mix of awe, reverence, and relief. They had seen her vanish in a burst of light. They had feared they had lost her forever. And now, they bowed as one, acknowledging her not only as Luna, but something greater—the Queen of Wolves chosen by the Moon herself. Gabriel stood at her side, his presence grounding her. His eyes, however, never left her, still shadowed by the memory of nearly losing her. His fingers brushed hers briefly, silently promising never again.

  • Moonbound to Power    CHAPTER 46. VOWS UNDER THE STARS

    The night was hushed, as though the very earth held its breath for them. The sky stretched wide, velvet-dark and spattered with silver constellations. The full moon loomed large above the clearing, its glow draping the gathering in a soft, ethereal light. Torches flickered around the sacred circle, casting shadows that danced like spirits on the edge of the forest. The Blood Moon Pack stood in silence, a sea of faces lifted toward the altar at the center. It had been built of white stone and entwined vines, blessed by the elders and marked by the Moon Goddess’s seal herself. Tonight, their Alpha would take his Luna—and their Queen of Wolves—before the gaze of the heavens. Gabriel stood tall in ceremonial black, a cloak of crimson draped over his broad shoulders. His golden eyes were fierce yet soft when they landed on the aisle before him. But even the unshakable Alpha could not hide the restless clench of his jaw, the tension running down his frame. This was no ordinary bond—it wa
