Chapter 6 — A New Identity (Two years later)

last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 11.04.2026 04:07:42

Third person

The first time they whispered her name it sounded like a warning.

Selene.

She was a ghost in the woods. A shadow that hunted the hunters.

Nobody knew where she came from.

Only that whenever Nightbane wolves roamed too far from their borders… bodies followed.

The forest was quiet tonight.

Too quiet.

Three Nightbane warriors moved carefully through the underbrush. Their dark armor blended into the shadows. The youngest of them shifted uneasily gripping his blade tightly.

“I don’t like this" he said. "This area’s been marked.”

“Marked?" the leader scoffed. "By who?"

“You really haven't heard the rumors of the rogue thats been hunting down Nightbane wolves?"

“Why would I feel threatened by a rogue mutt?”

A branch snapped.

All three froze.

The wind stilled, carrying something not quite wolf but also not quite human.

Watching.

Waiting.

The second warrior turned slowly. "Did you hear that?”

Silence answered.

Then—

A blur

Everything happened so fast.

A flash of silver in the dark. A strangled cry. Blood hit the forest floor.

The youngest barely had time to react. Something slammed into him from the side. He was knocked flat on his back his weapon flying from his hand. It disappeared into the darkness.

The figure of a woman stood over him.

Not fully visible.

Not fully human.

Her eyes burned.

Not yellow.

Not blue either.

Something far more terrifying—

Silver. Glowing. Alive.

“P-please—" he choked.

She tilted her head studying him like prey.

“Tell me something hmm?" she said softly. Her voice was calm almost gentle.

“Why does Nightbane hunt girls who cannot fight back?”

The boy’s breathing hitched. "W-we don’t—we’re following orders—”

“Whose orders?”

Silence.

Her expression hardened.

“Wrong answer.”

He didn’t even see her move.

By the time the forest stilled again only one remained alive.

The leader.

Barely.

He crawled backward. He dragged himself through the dirt blood trailing behind him. His chest heaved, body shaking and eyes wide with terror.

He stared at her figure stepping out of the shadows.

Moonlight engulfed her frame now.

She wore a dark cloak over her lean frame. Blood staining her hands.

And those eyes.

Those unnatural glowing silver eyes.

“You—" he rasped, his eyes were wide with terror. "You’re the one… the rogue…”

His voice shook realization hitting him fully.

“The one who’s been hunting us.”

A pause. His throat bobbed.

“The one killing Nightbane wolves.”

A faint smile touched her lips.

“Say my name.”

His voice trembled.

“…Selene.”

She crouched in front of him.

“Good " she whispered patting his head. "Then you’ll carry a message back to your Alpha.”

His breath hitched.

She leaned closer her voice dropping into something. Final.

“Tell him this—”

Her eyes flashed.

“If Nightbane sends hunters into my territory again…”

A pause.

A promise.

“I won’t leave anyone to crawl back.”

She rose to her feet. Stepped away as if he no longer mattered.

“Go.”

The man didn’t hesitate. He scrambled up to his feet and stumbled through the forest fear for his life driving him faster than any wound could slow him.

Selene watched him disappear into the dark.

Only when he was gone did the stillness return.

Far, beyond the forest…

In the heart of Nightbane territory a storm was already beginning to form.

This time—

Lila of Silverfang would not be the one standing beneath it.

Selene would.

    Lila’s POVBy the final horn sounded, the separate trial grounds had emptied into the central arena. Wolves came out from all four sectors, their steps slower now. They were not weighed down by defeat. By survival. The arena did not seem big anymore as bodies filled it. The energy changed from chaos to something structured.Wolves from the four sectors lined up in four lines. Warriors stood to the left. They were easy to spot, with blood and dirt on them. Beside them stood the healers with quieter presence but just as strong. The weapon masters were next standing with confidence holding weapons i couldn’t name at a far glance. The strategists, the quiet ones stood at the end calm and watching with calculating gazes.I stepped into the warrior line without thinking. I stood there observing the arrangement. It was all very deliberate. This was not a gathering of people who survived. This was an organization.Before I could settle into the moment, something in me snapped barreling throug

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 9 — The Recruitment Trial

    Lilas POV (Selene)The first thing I notice is how quiet it is.It's not silence. There are voices, movement and the sound of metal clashing far away. Wolves are talking in tones and boots are scraping against the ground...but there's something else too.The air is heavy with expectations.It's like a storm waiting to happen.I stand at the edge of the arena hidden in the shadows and watch.And then I see it.The structure.The trial arena isn’t one open space—it’s divided. Not by walls, but by purpose.One central arena with four passage ways leading to smaller arenas.To my left, candidates vying to join the warrior sector stand by the entrace of one of the passage ways that has the ancient Meneic words for Protectors carved boldy into the stone.They’re easy to identify. Strength sits in their stance, in the way they carry themselves like the outcome is already decided. Some shift impatiently, others stretch like they’re preparing for war instead of a trial.Opposite them are the h

    Kael’s POV Night falls thickly over Nightbane territory.I stand at the terrace of our watch tower, holding on to the cold stone edge as another report echoes in my mind.Another patrol.Gone.My jaw tightens.This makes the fourth this week.Fourth.That is not coincidence neither is itbad luck. That’s a pattern—and I should have seen it sooner.Why target Nightbane patrols so deliberately? Why take such a risk for something so… specific?None of this makes sense.And I don’t like what I can’t understand.Doors open behind me.“Alpha,” one of my captains says. “We recovered one of the patrol members.”Alive.I turn sharply. “Take him to the battle room.”The warrior is barely awake when they bring him in.There is blood stains on his side, his breathing uneven.His eyes snap open when he spots me.Fear.Not of me.Of something else.I step closer.“What happened?”His lips part to say something, but nothing comes out at first. Then, hoarsely—“She… she was waiting.”My eyes narrow s

Maps were spread before them marked with recent patrol routes. All of which had ended the samecway.Blood.Another voice scoffed lacking conviction. “It’s a rogue. Just one wolf. You’re all acting like she’s some kind of legend.”“Then explain the bodies.”Silence.No one could.Not properly.Because the truth was worse than what people were saying .Patrol after patrol had gone missing along the outer territories. The ones who returned… came back broken. Shaken. Changed.Afraid.One of the warriors said, “She moves like a shadow. You don’t see her until it’s too late.”Another added, “They say her eyes glow.

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 5 — The Stranger Called Ardan

    Lila’s POV When I wake up, I’m not in the forest anymore. My nose fills with the scent of smoke, crushed herbs, and wet stone. A rough wool blanket lies over me, heavy and scratchy. There’s a faint hum in the air — like magic around me.Every inch of my body aches. My bones feel like they've overgrown my skin overnight. My veins are hot and thrumming as if electrified by lightning.The relic.Flashes of how it burned when I touched it sweep through my mind. The flash of silver light, the pain tearing through my body, my wolf howling inside me and then finally everything going black.Now, I’m awake. But something in me feels off.Different.“Where am I?” I whisper to myself, my voice cracking as I try to sit up.“Safe,” a voice answers.I turn toward it reaching for the dagger stashed in my now torn boot. The silhouette of a man stands in the doorway — tall, broad, with dark silver streaked hair. His eyes catch the light of the flames, glowing like liquid moonlight.I point my dagger
