Chapter 54: The Price of Power

The first time Luna coughed blood, it was into her own hand.

A small thing.

A smear of red against her palm, startling and bright in the gray light of dawn.

She stood in the washroom alcove just off her and Orion’s chamber, bare feet chilled by stone, steam from the basin rising around her. She had woken feeling… heavy. Not exhausted—she knew that kind of weight well—but *thick*, as if her blood had turned one shade closer to sludge.

She had splashed her face.

Bent over the basin.

Coughed once.

  • Moonshadow: The Full Saga   Chapter 79: A Realm Reshaped

    The shift began at dawn.Wolves across the continent woke to something they had never felt before.A *presence.*Not intrusive.Not controlling.But there.Constant.Undeniable.Like the Moon Herself had finally opened Her eyes and was *watching.*In the Northern Territories, Alpha Karn of the Frostpaw pack stumbled from his den, hand pressed to his chest.The pack bond—which had always been a quiet hum, connecting him to his wolves—It *sang.*Louder.Clearer.And beneath it, something new.A thread.Silver.Leading *away.*Toward something vast and powerful and ancient."What is that?" his Beta asked, feeling it too.Karn closed his eyes.Reached along the thread.And *gasped.*"The Heir," he whispered. "She has ascended."---In the Southern Reaches, the Sunfire pack had been at war with their neighbors for three generations.Blood feuds.Territory disputes.Grievances so old no one remembered what started them.Alpha Lyris stood on her border, sword drawn, facing Alpha Tormund acr

  • Moonshadow: The Full Saga   Chapter 78: Alpha of the Bloodline

    **Three days after the fall of Moonshadow.**Luna stood at the edge of the Cradle, staring at nothing.Behind her, the sanctuary buzzed with organized chaos—wolves fortifying defenses, tending wounded, preparing for the inevitable second assault.They looked to her for leadership.For hope.She had none left to give.The Moonstone in her chest was failing.She could feel it with every breath—the fractures spreading, the divine energy leaking, her heartbeat growing more erratic.Elia was dead.Dax was dead.Niko clung to life by a thread, his body too broken for anyone but a master healer to save.And Luna could not save him.Could not save *any* of them."You need to eat."Orion's voice.She did not turn."I am not hungry," she said."You have not eaten in two days," he said quietly, moving to stand beside her. "Your body is destroying itself. The Moonstone is trying to complete the transformation, but you keep fighting it. Luna, you cannot—""I know what I cannot do," she interrupted

    The assault came at midnight.No warning.No scouts reporting movement.One moment, Moonshadow was quiet, wolves resting after the exhausting triumph of the challenge circle.The next, the forest *erupted.*Fire.Not normal fire.*Holy fire.*White-gold flames that did not consume wood or earth but burned *essence,* searing through pack bonds, disrupting leylines, turning the very air into agony for anything touched by the Moon.Luna was thrown from sleep by the first explosion.She hit the ground already moving, Orion beside her, both of them racing toward the clearing as screams tore through the night.The scene was chaos.Wolves scattering.Dens collapsing as holy fire ate through their foundations.And at the perimeter, pouring through gaps in the defenses that should not exist—The Holy Clan.Dozens of them.Warriors in white armor inscribed with binding runes, wielding weapons that *sang* with purification magic.And at their head—Luna's blood turned to ice.Cassian.Her half-b

    The challenge came three days after Kael's sealing.Not through a messenger.Not through a formal declaration.Through *blood.*Luna woke to screaming.She was on her feet before conscious thought caught up, Orion beside her, both of them racing toward the sound.The main clearing.Dawn light barely breaking through the trees.And at the center, standing on ground that had been sacred, neutral—A wolf Luna did not recognize.Tall.Female.Covered in ritual scars that glowed faintly green in the dim light.Her eyes were solid black, no white, no iris.Just endless dark.Around her, a circle had been carved into the earth with something sharp—claws, maybe, or a blade.Runes filled the circle, ancient and precise.The same runes Luna had seen in the forbidden texts.A challenge circle.*Trial by combat.*The traditional way disputes between divine-touched were settled when words failed.The wolf stood perfectly still, head tilted, watching Luna approach.When she spoke, her voice was lay

  • Moonshadow: The Full Saga   Chapter 75: The Shadow Goddess Reborn

    The warning came at dawn, delivered by a scout so terrified he could barely speak.Luna was in the war room, staring at maps she had memorized weeks ago, when the young wolf stumbled through the door.Blood streaked his face.His eyes were wide, pupils blown with shock."High Alpha," he gasped. "The western border. You need to come. Now. Please."Luna was moving before he finished speaking, Orion at her heels.Something felt *wrong.*Not just urgent.*Wrong.*The air tasted like copper and burnt sugar.The forest was too quiet as they ran, no birds, no small creatures rustling through undergrowth.Just silence.Waiting.The scout led them to a clearing Luna recognized—a place where she had trained with Kael weeks ago, teaching him to control the gravity fluctuations that still plagued him.Now it was scorched.The grass blackened.The trees at the perimeter bent inward, as if recoiling from something at the center.And there, kneeling in the ash—Luna's heart stopped."No," she whispe

  • Moonshadow: The Full Saga   Chapter 74: Orion's Vow

    **ORION**I have always known what it feels like to lose her.Not metaphorically. Not in some distant, hypothetical future.I *know.*The memory lives in my bones like a wound that never fully healed—the moment I rejected her, the moment I watched her walk away into the forest, broken and bleeding, while I stood beside Selene and told myself it was necessary.I felt her die that day.Not physically.But the bond—the mate bond I had tried so hard to ignore, to suppress, to *deny*—it screamed as she disappeared into the trees.It felt like someone had reached into my chest and ripped out everything that mattered.I told myself it was for the best.I told myself she was weak, that she would have dragged me down, that Selene was the right choice for an Alpha.I told myself a lot of lies.And then Luna came back.Not as the broken runt I had rejected.As *this.*A goddess wrapped in starlight and fury, carrying the weight of the Moon Herself in her eyes.And I realized, with a clarity that
