Secrets Beneath the Moon Chapter Fifty Two - Into the Deep
( Kael's POV ) The Hollow fell into motion like a living thing.Orders rippled outward from Kael in low, clipped commands, the kind that carried weight without needing to be shouted. Wolves moved through the clearing with purpose, sharpening blades, shifting into their second skins, binding wounds hastily wrapped hours earlier. The storm’s aftermath still clung to the forest, but something sharper now cut through the air.Not fear.Readiness.Aria moved among them, checking packs, handing out fresh bandages, silver-tipped arrows, charms etched with old runes. Her hands didn’t shake, though her pulse beat hard in her throat. Every wolf she passed met her eyes, and she could feel it, the unspoken thing that came when you stood next to the Alpha. She wasn’t Kael’s second. She wasn’t even sure what she was anymore. But they looked to her anyway.She felt that weight settle across her shoulders and didn’t flinch.Kael stood at the center of the clearing, bare-chested, blood dried along t
Secrets Beneath the Moon Chapter Fifty One - The First Strike
( Kael's POV )The moment Kael stepped out of the longhouse, the Hollow shifted.Wolves moved like shadows between the mist and trees, some still carrying the scent of blood and storm from the night before. The fires burned low, more smoke than flame now, curling thin and gray into the pale light. The air itself seemed to hold its breath, heavy with the weight of something waiting just beyond sight.Aria kept close to Kael as they crossed the clearing, Jarek a pace behind. Her boots squelched against the soaked earth, the ground slick from the storm. She could hear the distant snapping of branches, the low growls of wolves in their skin, patrolling the perimeter. The Hollow had always felt alive, but this was different. The forest wasn’t just alive. It was watching.Kael’s jaw was set like carved stone. Every line of him screamed Alpha now , the man she’d curled against hours ago was hidden behind that iron mask. But she felt the heat of him anyway, the steadiness that bled into the a
Secrets Beneath the Moon Chapter Fifty - The Quiet Before
Dawn crept over the Hollow like a reluctant confession.The night’s storm had broken just before sunrise, leaving the forest wrapped in mist and silence. Trees still dripped from the downpour, the air sharp with the scent of wet pine and ash. The perimeter fires burned low, watched over by bleary-eyed wolves who had kept guard long after the creature disappeared into the treeline.The longhouse stood scarred but still standing. A jagged hole gaped in the roof where lightning had split it open. Smoke trailed weakly from the blackened hearth. But inside, for the first time in hours, it was quiet.Kael opened his eyes to pale gray light filtering through the cracked roof. His body ached in the familiar way it always did after a fight, ribs throbbing, blood crusted on his skin, wolf still humming beneath the surface. But it wasn’t pain that woke him.It was warm.Aria lay tucked against his side, her head resting on his shoulder, breath slow and even. At some point in the night, they had
Secrets Beneath the Moon Chapter Forty Nine - After the Storm
The Hollow was quiet, but it wasn’t peace.The silence after the creature’s disappearance pressed down like a weight. The longhouse still smelled of smoke and iron. Wolves moved in hushed urgency outside, gathering what was left of the night, but no one dared enter. The storm might have passed, but its echo lingered in the walls, in their bones.Kael stood near the hearth, or what was left of it, hands braced on his thighs, blood still dripping sluggishly from the gash along his ribs. The firelight painted his wolf-scarred skin in bronze and shadow. His breath came in rough pulls, more animal than man.Aria sat on the floor with Storm curled against her, the boy’s small chest rising and falling in deep, exhausted sleep. His mark had faded to a dull ember. Her fingers trembled as she brushed the damp hair from his forehead.Kael turned his head slightly, watching her through the curtain of his wet, matted hair. The pack would have questions. The creature would return. War was coming. H
Secrets Beneath the Moon Chapter Forty Eight - The Storm Within
The longhouse had always been a place of firelight and warmth. It was the heart of the Hollow, built with timber older than most of the wolves who lived here, its walls soaked in the pack’s history.Tonight, though, the air inside turned brittle.The flames in the hearth dimmed to a thin, flickering blue. Lira’s breath misted in the sudden chill as she took a single step back from the cot. Storm’s tiny chest heaved, a child’s body trying to contain something far older, far wilder. His hands clenched the edges of the blanket, and the fabric shredded under pressure that no three day old should possess.“Kael,” Lira whispered again, louder this time.The boy’s eyes snapped open. The glacial blue had deepened, veins of silver lightning crawling across the irises. His pupils narrowed to slits. For the briefest heartbeat, it wasn’t a human child looking back at her. It was something else.A wolf would have growled.A witch would have run.Lira stood very, very still.Then the thunder rolled
Secrets Beneath the Moon Chapter Forty Seven - The Boy and the Storm
The Hollow had never been quiet, not truly. Even in sleep, it murmured. Wind slithered through the high pines, the river below whispered against the black stones, and somewhere in the dark, something always moved.Tonight, though, the forest held its breath.Kael stood at the threshold of the longhouse, every muscle coiled tight beneath his shirt. The boy in his arms, small, warm, human, shifted against his chest and made a sound that wasn’t quite a cry but close. His fingers clenched Kael’s collar, trusting without knowing. That trust felt heavier than the child’s weight.“Kael.”Jarek’s voice came from behind, low and rough. He stepped out of the shadows with his coat still wet from the rain, his jaw set like a man already readying for war. “The scent isn’t fading. Whatever slithered into these woods didn’t turn back.”Kael’s gaze cut toward the tree line. “I know.”They didn’t have to say what they both felt, the air thickening, the pull of something old and cruel threading through
