She was running barefoot through a forest soaked in moonlight, the trees blurring past her like ghosts. The wind howled through the branches, sharp with the scent of pine and blood. Her chest rose and fell with heavy breaths, but she didn’t slow down. She couldn’t. Something was chasing her. But it wasn’t fear that kept her moving. It was fury. In the distance, a silver wolf stood alone beneath the blood moon, watching her. Silent. Still. The moment she saw it, something inside her howled. “Ariya...” The voice was soft but clear spoken like a memory. Aria jolted upright in bed, her sheets tangled around her legs, her skin slick with sweat. Her pulse thundered in her ears as she reached for the lamp beside her bed, the light flickering on and throwing long shadows across the room. It was just a dream. But it felt too real. Every time. She sat on the edge of her bed, gripping the edge of the mattress, trying to catch her breath. Her fingers shook as she pushed her damp hair off her forehead. She glanced toward the mirror hanging across from her bed. And froze. Her eyes… they weren’t brown. Not entirely. Just for a second, they shimmered gold, glowing faintly like coals in the dark She blinked, and the glow vanished. “Get a grip,” she whispered to herself. “You’re fine. It’s just a dream.” But deep down, she didn’t believe that anymore. Downstairs, the scent of pancakes drifted through the air. Aria pulled on a hoodie and joined her best friend Tasha in the kitchen. The two had been inseparable since middle school, and Tasha had a habit of showing up uninvited but always with food. “You look like death,” Tasha said cheerfully, flipping a pancake. “Another nightmare?” Aria rubbed her eyes and sat down at the table. “Yeah. The same one. I’m running through the woods, and there’s this… voice calling me. It keeps saying the name Ariya. Tasha raised a brow. “That’s... not creepy at all.” “I know, right?” Aria gave a weak smile. “I’ve never even heard that name before.” “Well, maybe your brain’s just bored,” Tasha said. “All those fantasy books are leaking into your dreams.” “Maybe,” Aria murmured, but her thoughts were far away. Her phone buzzed on the table. DUSKWIND HIGH ALERT A large wolf was spotted near campus this morning. Students are to remain indoors during breaks. Animal control has been notified. Tasha stared at the screen. “A wolf? Here? What, did it take a wrong turn from the mountains?” Aria’s heart skipped. A wolf. Just like in her dream. She didn’t answer. She couldn’t. The school halls were louder than usual. Everyone was talking about the wolf. “I heard it was the size of a horse.” “No way, I saw a pic, its eyes were glowing.” “Maybe it’s escaped from a zoo or something?” Aria kept her head down, trying to drown out the voices. But as she walked towards her locker, the air shifted. Her skin prickled. Her heartbeat slowed. Something, someone was watching her. She looked up. Outside the window, across the courtyard, stood a wolf. Not a photo. Not a shadow. A real wolf. Grey-furred. Massive. Silent. Its silver eyes locked onto hers calm, intense, almost... human. A chill ran down her spine. She didn’t know how or why, but she knew those eyes. Had she seen them before? In a crowd? In school? Then, in an instant, it was gone. “Aria?” Tasha’s voice snapped her out of it. “What are you staring at?” Aria turned, dazed. “You didn’t see that?” “See what?" “There was a wolf,” Aria whispered. “Right there. It was watching me.” Tasha gave her a look. “I think you need sleep. Like, real sleep. But Aria barely heard her. That wolf it had known her. She felt it in her bones. And in the center of her palm, something began to ache. She pulled back her sleeve and stared at the birthmark she’d always had a faint crescent moon. For the first time in her life, it didn’t feel random. It felt like a warning.The smell of roasted venison and spiced root vegetables drifted through the Moonspire courtyard, smoke from the open fire curling into the crisp evening air. The aroma was a comforting blanket, a stark contrast to the recent scent of ash and blood. Wolves lounged in smaller circles, their fur gleaming in the firelight, laughter and low conversation weaving with the crackle of flames. It was a moment of rare peace, the kind they had not felt in months, a collective exhale after the brutal raid on Stone Hollow.Ariya sat cross-legged near the fire, her cloak draped loosely over her shoulders, the warmth seeping into her bones. Ember was beside her, slicing fruit with easy precision, her hair catching the glow of the flames, her movements fluid and unhurried. Maelin was like a shadow just beyond the fire’s immediate reach, a silent, almost invisible presence, quietly sharpening a blade. Her eyes, dark and watchful, flicked between the laughter around them and Ariya’s still form, ever vi
They walked back under a bruised dawn sky, the scent of smoke and iron still clinging to their clothes. They had found the Crimson Watchers’ hidden outpost near the eastern ridge—a hollowed-out ruin veiled with illusions, where dark magic simmered and prisoners were drained for rituals. They tore it down to its bones, leaving the stones soaked with the blood of the watchers who had taken too many lives. But it wasn’t the end. Not yet. They had only wiped out one of the hideouts, and Ariya felt it in her marrow that many more remained, waiting like snakes in the dark. Ember walked beside her, silent, her hair tied back, her knives still sheathed but fingers twitching now and then, as if ready for another fight. Maelin moved on Ariya’s other side, eyes scanning the tree lines, cloak fluttering as dawn wind pushed against them. They passed the sentries stationed at the forest’s edge, receiving nods of respect, the young warriors bowing as Ariya led her people home. The pack’
“He’s here.” Maelin’s voice was barely a whisper, yet it cut through the smoke and the quiet rustle of settling ash as Ariya turned, her golden eyes narrowing. The cold dawn breeze lifted her hair as she scanned the treeline, the world slowing, the sound of crackling embers and distant moans from the wounded Watchers fading into silence. And then he stepped out. He moved like shadow, like mist at dawn—tall, broad-shouldered, his dark cloak fluttering around him as he emerged from the trees. His black hair fell in damp waves, a few strands clinging to sharp cheekbones dusted with ash. His lips curled in a faint, unreadable smile as his gaze swept over the ruins, the fallen Watchers, the dying fires. But it was his eyes that struck her most. Red. Deep, living red, like embers caught in a storm, glowing softly under the pale dawn, and when they met hers, Ariya felt something seize in her chest—a quiet, breathless pull, like the world itself had stilled to watch him. “Who is that
The moon was a swollen red eye over Stone Hollow when Ariya arrived. They moved in silence, cloaks wrapped tight, slipping between shadows that bent like old prayers under the cold night. Ember led them along goat paths and deer trails, every step measured, every breath quiet, while Maelin watched the treeline, hands near her daggers. Stone Hollow was no longer a village. It was a nest for the Crimson Watchers, their sigils painted in dried blood on doorposts, their sentries prowling like restless hounds. Ariya studied them from a ridge, her eyes reflecting the moon’s burn. Her mind was sharp, clear, the rage from Kael’s injury tempered into focus. She would not let them strike first again. “We do this fast,” Ariya whispered, her gaze locked on the streets below. “We finish this before dawn.” “And if they bring Veylan into this?” Maelin asked, dark eyes cautious. Ember’s jaw tightened. “Then we remind him who she is.” They descended, moving like ghosts. Maelin’s kn
The moon hung low over the Moonspire, heavy with promise, casting long, silver shadows across the courtyard. Inside the expansive war room, usually reserved for the most critical of pack decisions, the air pulsed with a fierce, barely contained energy. Ariya stood at the head of the long oak table, tracing her fingers across the carved map laid across its polished surface. The map was not just a physical representation of their territory, but a living, breathing entity, marked by the blood and tears of her pack. To her right, Ember stood, arms folded, eyes sharp and unblinking, her presence a silent anchor. To her left, Maelin adjusted the black band around her wrist, a nervous habit, her gaze thoughtful as she absorbed every detail. Kael, his chest still heavily bandaged, leaned against the doorway, refusing to rest, his gaze fixed on Ariya, a silent sentinel.Around the table, a dozen other faces were gathered: the grizzled Alpha-ranked warriors who commanded the pack’s various patr
The forest burned.Night bled into the glow of flames as shadows twisted between trees, the hiss of embers and the crackle of splintering bark louder than the screams. The scent of pine and ash choked the air, a grim perfume for the battle that raged. Ariya moved like a storm through the clearing, her eyes glowing gold, a primal fury fueling every strike. Claws extended, she cut down the last of the Crimson Watchers that had dared to breach Shadow Fang’s perimeter, their dark tunics and crude weapons no match for her honed strength. Each swing was precise, each kill swift, driven by the desperate need to protect her pack.She had almost made it back to the Moonspire, the immediate threat seemingly neutralized, when she felt it—a cold prickle along her spine, that gut-deep warning she had learned never to ignore. It was the whisper of danger, a shadow within shadows. Her senses screamed, urging her to move, to react.She spun just as the Crimson attacker lunged from the darkness, a cur
