Rose's POV

The next morning, I woke before dawn. The hum was quiet but present, a steady pulse beneath my skin. I dressed quickly and made my way to the great hall.

Aiden was already there, standing by the fire. He looked up when I entered.

"Ready?" he asked.

"For what?"

"To find answers." He gestured to the door. "There's an archive. Old records. Scrolls. Things my father collected. If there's anything about the Old Moon bloodline, it'll be there."

I followed him through the fortress. Down win

    Rose's POVThe Void Walkers came on the fourth night.I was asleep when the hum screamed. I woke instantly, gasping, my hand already reaching for the knife on my bedside table. The fortress was quiet, but the hum was frantic. Desperate. Warning.I dressed in seconds and ran for the wall.Aiden was already there. So was Torin. Kara. Gunnar. Their faces were tight."What is it?" I asked."Look." Aiden pointed north.Beyond the walls, the forest was dark. But not the darkness of night. This was different. Deeper. It moved. It pulsed."They're here," Torin said. "Not attacking. Not yet. But they're here.""How many?""Too many to count."I felt the hum pulse. Cold. Afraid."Wake everyone," I said. "Get the healers ready. Get the families to the inner keep. We don't have much time."---Rose's POVThe fortress erupted into controlled chaos. Wolves ran to their positions. Warriors grabbed weapons. Healers prepared supplies.

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS    The Iron Claw Warriors

    Rose's POVThree days after Edwin returned, the Iron Claw Pack arrived.I was on the wall when I saw them. A long line of wolves emerging from the northern forest. Their armor glinted in the morning sun. Their banners flew high. They moved with purpose. With discipline."They're here," I breathed.Aiden appeared beside me. "Torin kept his word.""He did." I felt the hum pulse. Strong. Steady. "Let's go meet them."We walked down to the courtyard. The Iron Claw warriors streamed through the gates. They were magnificent. Tall. Strong. Their eyes sharp and watchful.Torin rode at the front. Not on a horse. On foot. Like the rest of his wolves. He stopped when he saw me."Rose." He bowed his head. "We've come to honor our alliance.""Welcome to our home." I gestured to the fortress. "You and your wolves are under our protection.""We are grateful." He looked around. "This is a good place. Strong. Defensible.""We've worked hard to make it so.""I can see that." He paused. "We have much to

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS    The Gathering Storm

    Rose's POVThe days passed in a blur of preparation. Training. Planning. Fortifying. The fortress became a hive of activity. Wolves everywhere. Warriors drilling. Healers stocking supplies. Families preparing for the worst.I moved through it all like a ghost. Present but not fully there. The hum was constant now. A steady pulse beneath my skin. It connected me to everything. Every wolf. Every emotion. Every fear."You're carrying too much again," Magnus said one morning. We were in the training ground. I'd just finished a session with Gunnar."I'm carrying what I have to.""No. You're carrying what you think you have to." He stepped closer. "You're not responsible for everyone's feelings, Rose. Only your own.""But I can feel them. All of them. The fear. The hope. The desperation.""That's the bloodline. It makes you sensitive to others. But you don't have to absorb their emotions." He met my eyes. "You need to learn to protect yourself. Otherwise, you'll burn out.""How?""Same way

    Rose's POVWe left the Iron Claw stronghold at dawn. Torin walked with us to the gates."I'll send word when my warriors are ready," he said. "We'll meet at your fortress.""We'll be waiting." I met his eyes. "Thank you, Torin. For trusting us.""Thank you for giving us hope." He paused. "Be careful on the journey home. The Void Walkers have spies everywhere.""We'll be careful."We walked through the gates. The mountains loomed behind us. The path ahead wound through rocky hills and dark forests.Kael walked beside me. "You did well. Torin doesn't trust easily.""I noticed.""He sees something in you. Something special." He glanced at me. "I see it too."I didn't know what to say to that. So I just kept walking.---Rose's POVThe journey home was quiet. We moved quickly. Carefully. The hum pulsed steadily. Warning. Caution."We're being watched," Magnus said."I know. I can feel it.""Void Walkers?""Maybe. Or something else." I scanned the trees. "We need to keep moving."We walked

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS    The Iron Claw

    Rose's POVDawn came cold and gray. The mountains loomed ahead, their peaks hidden in mist. I stood at the edge of our camp, staring at them. The hum pulsed steadily in my chest. Warning. Caution. But also... curiosity."Ready?" Aiden asked, appearing beside me."No.""Good. Honesty is important." He reached for my hand. "We'll face this together.""Together."We broke camp quickly. Kael led the way, his steps sure on the rocky terrain. The path wound upward, steep and narrow. The air grew thinner. Colder. My breath misted in front of me."How much further?" Edwin asked."An hour. Maybe less." Kael pointed to a ridge ahead. "The stronghold is just beyond that."We walked in silence. The hum grew louder with each step. Stronger. More insistent. Something was waiting for us. Something powerful.We crested the ridge. And stopped.The Iron Claw stronghold was carved into the mountain itself. Massive stone walls. Towers that reached toward the sky. Wolves everywhere. Warriors. Scouts. Heal

"We need you in the great hall."I dressed quickly and followed him. The hall was quiet. Too quiet. A small group of wolves stood near the entrance. Scouts. Their faces were grim."What's happened?" I asked."A messenger arrived," Aiden said. "From the Iron Claw Pack."I'd heard of them. A large pack to the west. Fierce. Independent. They'd stayed out of the war with the Shadow Wolves."What do they want?""They want to meet with you. The messenger said their Alpha wants to discuss an alliance.""An alliance?""Yes. They've heard about the defeat of the Shadow Wolves. They want to know if the stories are true."I felt the hum pulse. Steady. Curious."Where's the messenger now?""In the eastern courtyard. Under guard.""Let me see him."---Rose's POVThe messenger was a young wolf. Barely older than me. His clothes were d
