Moonstruck Chapter 56: The Taste of Ash
The peace lasted three days.Luan trained with the pack. Ate with the pack. Slept wrapped in Cass's arms. The hunger was quiet. The four heartbeats behind her ribs had settled into a steady rhythm. She almost believed it would last.On the fourth night, she dreamed of fire.She was standing in the valley, but the valley was burning. The cabins were ash. The river was steam. The trees were skeletons reaching toward a sky the color of blood. She walked through the ruins, her feet bare, her heart pounding.Cass was lying in the center of the clearing.His eyes were open. His chest was still. His throat was torn open.She fell to her knees beside him.No. No no no.His hand reached up. His fingers touched her face. They were cold.You couldn't save me, he said. You couldn't save anyone.She woke screaming.Cass was already holding her. His arms were around her. His heart was beating against her cheek.I'm here, he said. I'm right here. It was a dream. Just a dream.She pressed her face to
Moonstruck Chapter 55: The Bond Under Siege
The hunger returned that night with teeth.Luan woke screaming. Not from pain. From something worse. Something that clawed at the inside of her chest, demanding to be let out, demanding to be fed, demanding to consume everything she loved. Cass was already awake. His hands were on her face. His gold eyes were wide.Luan. Look at me. Luan.She could not look at him. Her eyes were changing. Gold to red. Red to black. Black to something that had no color, no light, no end.The hunger was taking her.Cass slapped her.Not hard. Not mean. Just enough to shock. Just enough to make her blink.Stay with me, he said. Stay.She grabbed his wrists. Her claws extended. They pierced his skin. Blood welled up. Hot. Sweet.The hunger roared.Drink, Cass said. Take what you need.She pulled his wrists to her mouth. She licked the blood. It was not enough. She bit. Deeper. Harder. His blood filled her mouth. The hunger screamed. Then it quieted. Then it slept.Luan released him.His wrists were torn.
Moonstruck Chapter 54: The Wolf Who Waited
The hunger woke again three nights later.Luan felt it stirring behind her ribs while the pack slept. The four heartbeats had become a drumbeat, slow and insistent, pulling her toward something she could not name. She left Cass sleeping in the cabin and walked into the woods. The moon was full. The trees were black against the silver sky. Her feet made no sound on the fallen leaves.She walked until she found the clearing where Cass had died.The grass had grown back. The blood was gone. But she could still feel him here. His fear. His love. His desperate, hungry need to protect her even as he faded.She sat in the center of the clearing and closed her eyes.The hunger pulsed.It was not the curse's hunger. Not the black wolf's hunger. Not even the first wolf's hunger. It was something older. Something that had been waiting since the first wolf made the curse. Something that had been sleeping in the bones at the base of the mountain and had woken when Luan touched them.What do you wa
Moonstruck Chapter 53: The Hunger Between Us
The pack celebrated Luan's return.They built the fire high. They roasted meat. They told stories and sang songs and howled at the moon. But Luan did not celebrate. She sat at the edge of the clearing, her gold eyes fixed on the flames, her hands wrapped around a cup of cold tea. The first wolf's power pulsed behind her ribs. The three heartbeats had become four. Hers. Cass's. The black wolf's. The first wolf's.She was becoming something that had never existed before. Something that should not exist. Something that hungered in ways she could not name.Cass found her there.He sat beside her. His shoulder pressed against hers. His hand found her knee.You're not celebrating, he said.I'm watching. That's my way of celebrating.He turned to face her. His gold eyes searched her face.What happened on the mountain? You came back different. Not just your eyes. Something else. Something I can't name.She set down her cup. She took his hand. His fingers were warm.The first wolf gave me its
Moonstruck Chapter 52: The Alpha's Burden
Luan woke before dawn.The cabin was dark. Cass was asleep beside her, his arm thrown across her stomach, his breath warm on her shoulder. She lay still for a long moment, listening to the three heartbeats behind her ribs. Hers. Cass's. The black wolf's. They had settled into a rhythm now. Not fighting. Not competing. Just beating. Together.She slipped out from under Cass's arm. He stirred but did not wake. She dressed in the dark and walked outside.The valley was quiet. The moon was low. The stars were bright. Frost glittered on the grass. She walked to the river and sat on the cold ground. The water rushed past. The sound filled her ears. She closed her eyes.You are troubled, Sol said.She opened her eyes. The silver wolf was sitting beside her. She had not heard it approach. Its golden eyes were soft in the darkness.I'm always troubled, she said. It comes with being alpha.Sol tilted its head.The first wolf was never troubled. It simply slept.The first wolf was afraid. Luan l
Moonstruck Chapter 51: Kael's First Test
Kael stood at the edge of the training ground at dawn.The pack gathered around him. Holt with his axe. Wren in her grey wolf form. Sparrow with her knife. Vera and Mira, mother and daughter, side by side. Sol sat at the edge of the clearing, its golden eyes watchful. Cass stood with Luan, his hand on the small of her back. Luan's red eyes were fixed on Kael, measuring him.This is your chance, she had told him the night before. Show us what you can do. Show us you're not the wolf you used to be.Kael looked at the pack. At the wolves who had been enemies and were now pack. At the wolves who had forgiven him or were trying to. At the wolves who had given him a second chance.Training is not about fighting, he said. His voice was low but clear. It is about surviving. Julian taught you to kill. Marcus taught me to kill. They were wrong.The pack was silent.Fighting is easy, Kael continued. Any wolf can bite. Any wolf can claw. Any wolf can kill. But fighting is not the same as survivin
