Chapter Eight: Moonburn

The air was heavy with the scent of earth and night when Aria stepped out of the cabin just after dawn. The forest stretched out before her, bathed in gold and dew. Birds chirped cautiously, as if sensing the shift in the world. The night had passed, but the unease had not.

She wrapped her arms around herself, bare feet pressing into the damp ground. Her body still pulsed with heat—an unfamiliar, almost electric energy that hummed just beneath her skin. Kade had fallen asleep again after making love to her like she was the last thing keeping him sane, but Aria had only pretended to drift off.

She couldn’t sleep—not with Seraphina’s voice still echoing in her head.

"You are the spark… the key… the moon’s weakness."

She didn’t know what it meant, but something inside her was changing. It wasn’t just emotional anymore. It was physical. Her senses were sharper. Her skin more sensitive. She could hear every crunch of leaves beneath distant paws, smell the fainte

    Chapter Nineteen: The First Blood and the Forgotten TruthThe sky wept ash as Aria rode toward the battlefield.The air was thick with the scent of fire, smoke, and a rising storm—an omen of bloodshed. Below her, hundreds of warriors from united packs moved like a single organism, their growls blending into the rumble of thunder. The truce banners of the Bloodfang, Stoneclaw, Moonveil, and others flapped in the wind, symbols of a fragile alliance formed under the promise of survival.Kade rode beside her, eyes scanning the distant hills. He hadn’t slept in two nights, but his resolve hadn’t faltered.ā€œHe’s close,ā€ he muttered, nostrils flaring. ā€œI can smell his corruption.ā€Aria nodded. ā€œThen we strike tonight.ā€Behind them, Marcus barked orders. Witches lined the ridges with protective runes. Archers dipped their arrows in silver, enchanted with ancient moonlight.Lira approached on her dark horse, her twin blades strapped across her back. ā€œOur scouts intercepted Xarion’s beasts. The

    Chapter Eighteen: Allies, Assassins, and the Witch’s PactThe wind howled through the pine ridges as Aria stood before the sacred flame of the Bloodfang ceremonial grounds. The moon was high, its silver light pouring down over the stone circles, washing her in its cold, holy glow. All around her, warriors waited—silent, reverent, and ready.This was the moment she had dreaded and prepared for.A moment that would change everything.Aria stepped forward, her voice clear, powerful, and laced with the blood of queens.ā€œI call on the packs of the Northern Range, the clans of the West, and the old blood hidden deep in the shadowed woods. I call on the daughters of moonlight and sons of the silver hunt. Xarion has returned, and he means to burn the world in his wrath.ā€Whispers rippled through the crowd. Even the flame seemed to flicker in response.Kade stood behind her, eyes fierce, proud.ā€œHe isn’t a man,ā€ Aria continued. ā€œHe’s a god twisted by vengeance, and we will not survive him divi

    Chapter Seventeen: Blood Oaths and Broken BondsThe war council chamber smelled of cedarwood and tension. The long stone table at its center was surrounded by Bloodfang warriors, advisors, and elders—all staring at Aria like she was both a miracle and a bomb that could explode at any moment.She stood at the head of the table, Moonfang strapped to her back, her silver eyes scanning every face.Her mate, Alpha Kade, sat beside her—silent, watchful.In her hand, she held Xarion’s letter.ā€œMy father wants me to come to him alone,ā€ she began, voice steady despite the storm in her chest. ā€œIf I don’t, he’ll kill Kade.ā€A rumble of growls spread through the room. Kade’s eyes burned.ā€œI’d like to see him try,ā€ he muttered.ā€œYou think he can’t?ā€ Aria asked, turning to him. ā€œHe’s the Night King, Kade. He turned my mother into a weapon. He raised me in darkness before I even knew who I was. He’s killed his own blood before. Don’t underestimate him.ā€Kade stood, his jaw tense. ā€œAnd you think walk

    ---Chapter Sixteen: Trial by FireThe chamber was engulfed in white fire. It didn’t burn. Instead, it shimmered and pulsed with an ancient magic that sank into Aria’s skin and blood like liquid moonlight. The voice of Selene, the goddess of the moon, echoed through every corner of the temple, neither kind nor cruel—only truth.ā€œYou must face yourself, Aria,ā€ Selene said. ā€œTo wield the Moonfang, you must shed the girl you were and embrace the queen you’re becoming.ā€Aria trembled. Not from fear, but from the weight of it all.ā€œI don’t know how,ā€ she whispered.Selene’s figure floated closer. ā€œThen we begin.ā€With a wave of her hand, a silver wind whooshed past Aria—and the others disappeared. The temple was suddenly empty. Kade, Marcus, the warriors... all gone.She was alone.No. Not alone.A mirror rose from the ground before her, shaped like a crescent moon. Its surface rippled, and when she looked into it, her own reflection smirked back at her—but it wasn’t her. Not really.This

    ---Chapter Fifteen: The AwakeningThe moon was high when Aria stood alone at the edge of the Whispering Forest, the chilling breeze wrapping around her like a silent omen. Behind her, the heart of the Bloodfang pack was slowly rebuilding itself after the rogue attack, but within her, something else was unraveling entirely.The moment the Nightstone had released its power into her, something ancient had awakened inside her blood. A calling. A memory not her own. Dreams of fire and silver wolves. A voice whispering in a language she didn’t understand but somehow recognized.And ever since, she hadn't been the same.Her fingers clenched. The wind shifted, brushing through her hair, and the air around her sparked—tiny flecks of light dancing like embers across her skin.She closed her eyes. She could feel the trees breathing. The earth humming beneath her bare feet. The moon above, pulsing like a heartbeat.She wasn’t just human anymore.She didn’t know what she was.ā€œI was hoping I’d fi

    Chapter Fourteen: The Betrayer Among UsThe morning sun was swallowed by clouds as thick as smoke. The entire territory trembled under the weight of an approaching storm. Aria stood at the top of the hill overlooking the training grounds, her eyes fixed on the shadowed edge of the forest.The rogues were out there.Watching. Waiting.Kade paced behind her, tension rippling through every muscle. His wolf was close to the surface—Aria could feel it. The savage growl that rumbled in his chest each time a twig snapped in the distance sent shivers down her spine.ā€œThey’re testing us,ā€ he said, scanning the tree line. ā€œPushing in just enough to rattle our nerves, but not enough to strike.ā€ā€œThey’re waiting for me to come to them,ā€ Aria whispered.She could feel it—like a magnetic pull in her chest, tugging her toward the woods. Something dark. Ancient. Familiar.Raya approached, her face pale. ā€œThe wards are holding for now, but the energy is wrong. They’ve got witches with them—dark ones.ā€
