Reborn Of The Moon Chapter 28: when Moonlight Meets Crimson
“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
Reborn Of The Moon Chapter 27: Blood Moon at Stone Hollow
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
Reborn Of The Moon Chapter 26: Shadows of Retribution
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
Reborn Of The Moon Chapter 25: The Price of Loyalty
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
Reborn Of The Moon Chapter 24 – The Unclaimed Crown
The moonlight was thin over the courtyard as Ariya stood at the balcony, arms crossed as she watched her warriors spar below. She was called the Moon Queen now, the Alpha of Shadow Fang in all but official title, yet the silver crown remained locked in the Moonspire’s vault, untouched. Its weight, even from a distance, felt like a phantom ache on her brow, a promise and a burden she was not yet ready to fully embrace.Maelin’s words from days ago lingered in her mind: "Are you ready to trust him?" The question had been about Kael, about the former heir of a rival pack now serving as her second.Ariya had answered with silence, but the truth was clear—she had accepted Kael’s oath, yet trust was not a single act but a series of choices made day after day, battle after battle. It was a fragile thing, easily shattered, especially when the very history of their kind was riddled with treachery.The coronation could not happen yet, not until she was certain every threat to her people was dis
Reborn Of The Moon chapter 23: Oath Of The Second
Kael stayed outside the Moonspire walls long after the stars were visible, refusing to leave even when the guards circled, even when the cold seeped into his bones. Every day, he trained alone in the clearing below the watchtowers, the clang of his blades echoing with each dawn. Aria watched him from the high windows, silent, her arms folded, Maelin at her side. "He hasn't left," Maelin observed, her gold-streaked hair catching the torchlight. "I told him to prove himself," Aria replied softly. "This is part of it." But Kael did more than simply wait. He fought off Shadow Fang warriors who challenged him, never using more force than necessary. He gathered wood for the elderly wolves in the lower village, helped repair a crumbling watchtower after a storm, and shared his rations with children who followed him curiously. He never asked for favors. Never demanded audience. He simply worked, fought, and waited. Days turned to weeks. --- One morning, Aria descended the Moons
