THE BANISHED LUNA whispers in the snow
Chapter 36 – Whispers in the SnowThe night had only just broken apart when the first signs of it reached her. Aria didn’t notice at first—still raw from the Alpha’s words in the courtyard, still clutching the weight of Kieran’s steady presence like a tether. She thought she had survived the storm when the crowd had dispersed, their voices swallowed by the dawn. But survival was a fragile thing here, and the Alpha knew it.It began in the simplest of ways. A glance too sharp, held a heartbeat longer than necessary. The scrape of boots on stone when she walked the corridors, shadows moving just at the edge of her vision. The low murmur of wolves pausing mid-conversation as she passed, their whispers curdled with suspicion.She told herself it was nothing. She told herself she’d grown used to it—after all, she had always been watched. But this was different. It wasn’t the silent awe or the wary curiosity of strangers. It was something heavier, prickling along her skin like frost.The bo
THE BANISHED LUNA The Alpha’s Design
Chapter 35 – The Alpha’s Design The stronghold never truly slept. Even at night, its bones thrummed with life—low growls echoing through stone, sentries padding over the battlements, the faint musk of fur and steel. Darius Caelum stood at the heart of it all, high in the council chamber, gazing down through a narrow window at the courtyard where hours earlier the pack had bled and burned. The snow there was still darkened with ash and streaked red. A reminder. A warning. His Beta, Lucien, leaned against the long table of carved oak, watching him with the blunt patience of an old wolf who knew better than to prod an Alpha mid-brood. Finally, Lucien spoke, his voice low and rough: “You played it well tonight.” Darius didn’t turn. “I did not play. I reminded them of what they already knew.” Lucien huffed softly. “You split them in half without lifting a blade. That takes more than a reminder.” At last, Darius shifted from the window, his expression unreadable. His presence filled
THE BANISHED LUNA The Fracture Line
Chapter 34 – The Fracture Line The courtyard emptied slowly, like a tide pulled back by a moon that refused to release its hold. One by one, wolves melted into the darkened halls, their eyes cast low but their ears pricked toward every shift of air. They left behind not silence, but the residue of it—the way whispers cling after the sound is gone, pressing against the skin. Aria stood still long after the Alpha’s command had sent them scattering, her body taut, as though the cold had finally sunk through flesh and bone. Her chest ached, not from the wound along her ribs, but from the weight of what Caelum—Darius Caelum—had done. He hadn’t shouted. He hadn’t needed to. With nothing more than his voice and the tilt of his gaze, he had turned the eyes of the pack into blades. When she finally moved, Kieran was already there, his hand at her elbow, steady but stiff. “Come,” he murmured, low, almost dangerous. His jaw was locked so tightly the word nearly fractured. They walked side by
THE BANISHED LUNA The Alpha’s Calculation
Chapter 33 – The Alpha’s Calculation The torches guttered in the stone hall, their flames bowing low in the draft that whispered through Caelum’s stronghold. The war banners hanging above him stirred, shadows of wolves in crimson and gold rippling like restless spirits. Alpha Darius Caelum sat high upon the carved chair of oak and iron, but it was not the weight of the seat that pressed against him tonight—it was the memory of the courtyard. He could still see her. Aria. Standing raw, blood-marked, her spirit burning even through her exhaustion. The pack had shifted around her as though she were a lodestar, their eyes caught in that invisible pull. It had taken everything in him to keep his voice calm, measured, when every instinct had screamed to lash out and scatter their whispers before they rooted too deep. “She’s a fracture point,” Lucien said quietly from the foot of the dais. His Beta leaned against a pillar, arms folded, eyes shadowed in thought. The man had been with him
THE BANISHED LUNA The Alpha’s Measure
Chapter 32 – The Alpha’s Measure The storm had thinned by morning, leaving only ash-grey clouds crawling across the horizon. Inside the Alpha’s pavilion, the air carried the mingled scents of leather, iron, and wolf—power heavy enough to weigh down the breath. Alpha Darius Caelum stood at the long oak table, one hand braced against a map inked with borders and contested lands. To most of the pack, he was simply Darius—the name that rolled across battlefields and taverns, the Alpha whose victories had carved their survival out of blood. But here, within the guarded heart of his camp, the name Caelum carried more weight. It was the lineage name, ancient as the mountains, a reminder of the bloodline that had never bowed. It was legacy and crown, and he wore it like a blade. Behind him, his Beta lingered in silence, watching with arms crossed. Lucien Vale—broad-shouldered, sharp-eyed, his closest friend since boyhood, and the only one who could stand in his shadow without flinching. If
THE BANISHED LUNA Whispers in the Ashen Dawn
Chapter 31 – Whispers in the Ashen Dawn The dawn broke pale and brittle, the courtyard still scarred from the night before. Snow had swallowed most of the blood, but the stains that lingered seemed darker in the morning light, as if the earth itself refused to forget. Smoke still rose from the torches guttering along the walls, their last embers struggling against the cold. Aria stepped out into the open, the bite of the air catching at the half-healed wound along her ribs. She pulled her cloak tighter, but it wasn’t the wind that raised her skin. It was the silence. Everywhere she turned, eyes followed. Warriors leaning on their spears, sentries shifting on the walls, even the healers tending the wounded—they all glanced her way when they thought she wasn’t looking. Some quickly looked down, pretending to busy themselves. Others didn’t bother to hide it, their gazes lingering too long, sharp with suspicion or awe. Serena stirred inside her, restless. The bond thrummed beneath he
