The neutral meeting ground was a clearing that had been used for treaty negotiations for over a century.

It lay exactly in the middle between Nightshade and Shadowcrest territory, marked by ancient stones older than both packs. The ground itself was considered sacred. No blood was allowed to be spilled here without invoking the wrath of every pack in the region.

  • Silver Moon Rising    Lunar Visions

    At first, nothing happened. Just darkness behind my eyelids and the steady warmth of moonlight on my face.Then images began to flicker—quick, senseless flashes.A man with blood-red eyes. Thaltos. The name came to me out of nowhere. He was the threat Kade had been preparing for.Elena, screaming. She was bound to something that looked like an altar. Silver light was being ripped out of her against her will.Kade and Damien fighting side by side, both covered in blood. They were fighting something I couldn’t see.I saw myself standing between them, making a decision. But I couldn’t tell what it was.The visions came faster, more violent, more confusing.I gasped and snapped my eyes open. The silver light flickered and died. I was shaking.“What did you see?” Kade asked urgently.“I don’t know. Flashes. Images.” I tried to sort through the chaos in my head. “There was a man. Thaltos. He’s the threat, right?”Kade’s expression darkened. “Yes. Th

  • Silver Moon Rising    Face to Face

    The neutral meeting ground was a clearing that had been used for treaty negotiations for over a century. It lay exactly in the middle between Nightshade and Shadowcrest territory, marked by ancient stones older than both packs. The ground itself was considered sacred. No blood was allowed to be spilled here without invoking the wrath of every pack in the region.I arrived an hour early with my father and four guards. My father had insisted on coming despite my protests. He wanted to “handle the situation properly,” which meant he intended to control the conversation and make sure I didn’t do anything stupid. Like apologizing to Sera for destroying her life.“Remember what we discussed,” my father said as we took our positions near the central stone. “This meeting is about preserving pack dignity and making it clear to Blackthorn that he has overstepped. It is not about your personal feelings for the girl.”“Her name is Sera,” I said.

  • Silver Moon Rising    Meditation training

    I woke up in the darkness, accompanied by the knocking on my door. “Sera,” Kade’s voice came through the wood. “It’s time.” I dragged myself out of bed and opened the door. Kade stood there, a lantern in his hand. The warm light made his features look softer than usual. “Time for what?” I asked. “Meditation training. The moon is almost full tonight. Perfect conditions to properly connect you with it.” He handed me a thick cloak. “Put this on. We’re going into the forest.” I wrapped the cloak around myself and followed him down the stairs and out into the night. The pack house was quiet. Most of the wolves were either sleeping or out on patrol. The full moon hung huge and bright in the sky. Its sight made something ache in my chest—like homesickness for a place I had never been. Kade led me deep into the forest, to a clearing I hadn’t seen before. Moonlight poured down like liquid silver, making everything glow. In the center of the clearing lay a flat stone that looked as thoug

  • Silver Moon Rising    Awakening

    Sera POV I dropped onto a bench at the edge of the training grounds and downed half the water bottle in one go. My body was screaming at me to stop, to rest, to do anything except keep going. But I wasn’t going to quit. Not now, when I was finally beginning to understand what I was capable of. Elena appeared with a small bag. She sat down beside me and pulled out an apple. “You’re doing well,” she said. “Kade watches you from his office window between sessions. He doesn’t do that with normal trainees.” “He’s just making sure his investment doesn’t break,” I replied. “Maybe.” Elena took a bite of her apple. “Or maybe he’s more interested than he wants to admit.” I didn’t know what to say to that. The connection I felt to Kade was confusing. It wasn’t the mate bond. That had been different—warmer, like coming home. This was sharper. More electric. It made my wolf sit up and pay attention in a way that felt dangerous.

  • Silver Moon Rising    Beyond the Pain

    Sera POV The second training day was worse than the first. I woke up even before dawn, and every single muscle screamed in pain. The bruises from the previous day had healed overnight—werewolf metabolism was good for that—but the deeper aches remained. Kade had pushed me beyond every limit I had ever thought possible, and now my body was making sure I wouldn’t forget it. I dragged myself out of bed and put on the fresh training clothes that Elena had left outside my door. The routine was already becoming familiar. Wake up sore. Get dressed. Head to the training grounds. Let Kade tear me apart piece by piece. I should have hated it. A part of me did hate it. But another part of me felt more alive than I had in years. Kade was already waiting when I arrived at the training ring. It looked like he had been there for hours. His shirt was soaked with sweat, and training weapons were sc

  • Silver Moon Rising    The first real step

    Kade POV "Is that really all you've got?" I taunted. "No wonder Damien rejected you. You're barely worth the effort to train." Her eyes flashed silver. There it was. "He was right to choose Vanessa," I continued. The words tasted like ash, but I forced them out anyway. "She's stronger. More confident. Actually capable of standing beside an Alpha instead of just taking up space." The silver in her eyes grew brighter. "You're exactly what he said you were. Too weak. Too soft. Too—" She moved. It wasn't a trained attack. It was pure instinct. Pure rage. She dropped the staff and lunged at me with her bare hands. I could have dodged, but I wanted to see what would happen when she finally stopped holding back. Her hands slammed into my chest, and silver light exploded outward. The force of it hurled me backward. I felt my back slam into a tree ten feet away. The impact knocked the air from my lungs, and I couldn'
