Mag-log inThe Alpha Who Finally KneelsKael’s POVThe war camp did not sleep, torches burned across Black Hollow territory and warriors sharpened blades.Wolves argued near the borders, scouts kept running in and out with reports one everybody felt it coming.The final war. I stood near the training ground watching the camp move around me but my eyes kept finding her.Lyra.She stood near the fire speaking with Darius quietly and the Ancient Luna power moved around her again.Not wild this time but live like it listened to her breathing.My chest tightened painfully, the mate bond burned harder every day now and I pressed my fist against my chest.Pain spread through me sharply and one of my warriors stepped closer carefully.“Alpha Kael, Crescent fighters are waiting for your orders.”I did not look at him.“Tell them to hold the east side.”“Yes, Alpha.”He left quickly. Nobody stayed around me long anymore, not after the way I attacked the elders, not after I abandoned Crescent again, not af
The Monster Serena CreatedSerena’s POVThe ritual fire burned higher as I stood inside the ruined temple and blood covered the floor beneath my feet.The symbols carved into the ground glowed dark red now, moving like living things and pain tore through my body again.I grabbed the stone altar hard and a scream ripped out of my throat.My veins darkened deeper under my skin, black lines spread slowly across my arms like poison and one of my followers stepped back in fear.“My Luna…”I turned toward him sharply.“Do not call me that.”My voice sounded wrong now, deeper, rougher, not fully human and not fully wolf.The air around me shook again, power exploded from my body suddenly, the torches around the room burst apart and several wolves fell to the ground instantly.One female gasped in fear. “The ritual is changing her too fast.”I heard her, every whisper, every heartbeat and every fearful breath. Good. They should fear me.I lifted my head slowly.“You look at me like I am curse
The War Marches With MeLyra’s POVSmoke still covered the night sky when I walked into the center of the Black Hollow courtyard.Torches burned around the walls. Blood stained the ground from the last attack. Warriors filled every side of the courtyard, glaring at each other like enemies waiting for one wrong move.Because they were enemies and Black Hollow wolves stood on one side, Crescent wolves stood on the other and I stood in the middle.The air felt heavy and nobody trusted anybody.A Crescent warrior shoved a Black Hollow male with his shoulder.“You think we forgot what your pack did to us?”The Black Hollow warrior growled instantly. “Say another word.”More wolves stepped forward and Kael moved fast and grabbed his warrior by the arm. “Stand down.”Darius stepped in front of his own men. “Nobody moves.”Nobody listened, another shove, another growl and then suddenly fists flew and everything exploded at once.Warriors crashed into each other, someone hit the ground hard, a
The Final Choice BeginsLyra POV“Serena activated the second ritual site.”The words left my mouth weakly, but the reaction inside the strategy room exploded instantly and warriors started shouting.“The ritual started already?”“We need to move now!”“This is bad!”I barely heard them and pain slammed through my body again hard and then I grabbed the edge of the table breathing heavily while silver light burst across my arms wildly.The voices screamed inside my head.“She rises…”“The curse awakens…”“Stop her…”I cried out softly and dropped to my knees and Darius reached me first.“Lyra!”Kael knelt beside me immediately too, and both touched me at the same time.The bond reaction exploded through all three of us instantly, pain, heat and power.Everything crashed together violently and Kael cursed under his breath.Darius stiffened beside me and silver energy burst across the room again hard enough to shake the walls.Several warriors stumbled backward in fear and then I tried b
The Second Ritual BeginsSerena’s POVThe ritual chamber glowed beneath my feet while candles burned around the ancient markings carved into the stone floor.Blood covered the symbols already, not animal blood, wolf blood, powerful blood.The air trembled violently around me and my followers stood near the walls silently watching.Some looked afraid, some looked loyal and most looked both.I slowly walked toward the center of the chamber while holding the stolen ritual fragments tightly in my hands.Silver energy flickered around the black stones.Lyra’s power, not all of it but enough, enough to begin.A tall warrior beside me lowered his head carefully.“My Luna…”“Do not call me that yet.”He swallowed quickly.“Yes, Serena.”I stopped at the center symbol and looked down at the markings.Ancient language covered the floor, old wolf bloodlines, forbidden names, forbidden rituals.My family protected these secrets for generations while Lyra’s family hid behind lies and protection.A
War of Three AlphasKael’s POV“She was never meant to survive the bloodline awakening.”Mira’s words stayed inside my head like poison.The hallway smelled of blood and fear, dead warriors covered the floor and broken walls surrounded us and Lyra…Lyra stood in the middle of everything shaking silently.Darius held his bleeding side while guards dragged Mira’s body away but Lyra looked worse than all of us, lost and broken like the truth was crushing her slowly.I hated seeing her like that because once upon a time, I caused that same look myself.Darius looked toward me finally.“We need to move now.”I nodded once and for the first time in a long time, there was no fight between us, only war.Because Serena had gone too far and Darius barked sharp orders immediately.“Double guards at every entrance.”“No one travels alone.”“Search every room again.”Warriors rushed away instantly. Black Hollow had become poison from inside and nobody trusted anybody anymore.I watched Lyra carefu

The Mark of the Hunt Lyra’s POV“They are already here.”My voice faded into silence and Darius looked at me and then at the mark, then back at me again.“We need Kael,” he said and I nodded and my chest still felt tight.The blood on the wall did not move again but I could feel it, it was not jus
The First HuntNnLyra’s POV“Rogues have crossed the border!”The guard’s voice shook as he spoke and for one second, no one moved and everything broke.The hall then turned loud at once and the elders started talking over each other.“How many?”“From which side?”“How did they enter?”Fear spread
The Escape That Changes EverythingLyra’s POV“Serena is gone.”The guard’s voice shook but I did not react at once, because I already knew and I felt it.The moment she disappeared, the moment that shadow swallowed her in front of us, something inside me knew she did not just escape.She left, on
