With the shadows of Ridgewood enveloping them like a protective cloak. The group moved quickly in the dark.

Silence filled the pack and everyone was asleep.

The moment was ideal for moving and becoming undetectable in the night.

With practiced ease, Bethar guided them. His movements were exact, every look over his shoulder calculating and keen. The others kept to the walls and followed closely, looking around for movement with their heads darting in all directions.

They found a small run-down cottage tucked away behind overgrown bushes after making their way around a tight bend between two stone fences.

The wooden frame appeared worn from years of neglect and moss clung to its walls like a shroud.

Lira's voice was hardly audible. “Where is this place?

Lance gestures for silence by bringing a finger to his lips. Frank, Daemon, and Ashton's trained eyes swept the area, ears listening for any noise that might indicate danger.

With his fingers exploring the rough surface, Bethar app

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 163; Tristan's Uneasiness

    The sudden silence of the hallway was broken by her hard swallow, a dry rasping sound. At the rate her heart was beating, she was afraid it might rip out of her chest. She turned slowly as her heart pounded frantically against her ribs. She hadn't heard anyone approach because she had been so intent on listening at the door. There stood a man with a deep frown on his face and his arms folded across his broad chest. He had a tall, strong frame, and his startlingly amber eyes were staring at her with such intensity. That she wanted to retreat into the wall. The expression on his face was one of suspicion and subdued menace rather than one of simple irritation. He spoke in a low rumble. “What do you think you’re doing standing so close to the door? The question was straightforward yet it weighed heavily on her. Her mind was racing with horror and panic. The cold surface of the tray was a slight comfort as she gripped it tightly.“I… I am…” She mumbled as she spoke, her words trippi

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 162; Rylan's Gloom

    The empty bottle showed Rylan's desperation as he sat, stooped over the polished mahogany table. He had been drinking since the first light of the day, in an attempt to find the peace that he could never find. His private study seemed like a cage. Towering shelves held books with unread spines. Their knowledge is useless in the face of his present suffering. A rough rasp reflected the chaos within him as he ran a hand over the stubble on his chin. Outside, the pack was a whirlwind of noise with the rain drumming relentlessly against the windowpanes. And the wind howled as if it were grieving with him.He served as the sole wretched audience to his misery. He could barely sleep at night because each time he closed his eyes. What he saw were the images of Selene.The knowledge that she was dead. Left him in shambles. He still remembers how he rejected her. Without giving her a listening ear. She had continuously insisted that she was innocent of all accusations, but he allowed his

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 161; Hidden Agenda

    The air was heavy with an unsaid tension and uneasiness. That clung to the room as he entered through the heavy oak door. He caught a glimpse of Estelle sitting down. Her eyes glinted in the lamplight. She moved forward with a grace that always left him speechless and a soft smile played on her lips. “Bethar,” she said in a calm voice. “ At last you're back. I’ve been waiting for you.” “Waiting for me?” he sneered, the word harsh and cruel. With a shrug, he pushed past her and dropped his bulky cloak to the ground in a heap. “Why were you waiting for me? You made me lose my daughter.”Estelle's smile disappeared, replaced by a look of astonishment. She flinched as though she had been hit. “What are you saying Bethar? Lira, what does it have to do with you returning late?”With his fists clenched, he spun to face her and roared. “ Everything! Estelle, Lira ran away from home. It was you who caused her to leave.” Estelle's chest blazed with a hard, cold rage that had been there fo

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 160; A New Cover

    The rain drummed continuously on the pack house's slate roof. A rhythm that Zara had grown accustomed to as the background to her life. There was a strong smell of damp wool and lye soap in the laundry room. A mountain of linen was causing Zara and two other maids, Maria and Lily to struggle. Their arms were hurting, they pushed and pulled in an attempt to break through the never-ending pile. Maria let out a sigh and used the back of a soapy hand to remove a stray hair from her forehead. “This is a job for ten not three,” Maria complained bitterly.“Tell that to Mrs. Julieta,” Lily answered in a low murmur.Among the maids, Lily was the youngest and most shy. She seemed to be constantly watching what she said. As though she were worried that the house might be listening. There was nothing from Zara. She was folding a big bulky bedsheet with concentration. She moved with efficiency and practice. Her thoughts were already focused on the next assignment: polishing the dining table b

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 159; Infiltrating Nightfang

    There was a silent sadness in the pack house that no one dared to mention. In a tiny private study, Daemon and Lira stood with their remaining possessions crammed into two plain leather bags. They were leaving everything they knew behind for a journey of unknown dangers. They weren't going on a hunt or a trade. Selene broke the silence with a voice as quiet as a whisper but intently sharp. She stood by the window staring at the sky as it grew darker. She turned to them. “It is all prepared. Pay close attention, Lira. This is your cover. The Park House is where you will go once you get to Nightfang. You will explain to them that you are an orphan. That the rogues took your pack, and that you would like to offer your services as a maid. You'll claim that all you need is a place to live and food to eat and that you don't require payment. It is well known that the Park House never turns away people who offer to work for free.”Lira nodded while clutching her bag strap, her knuckles we

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 158; A Spy

    “No!” Their collective scream rang out through the tense air. A chilling sound of fear that Lira could hear in her ears but she had a firm resolve.Their eyes glazed in panic as they all stared at her and the gleaming dagger she was holding in her shaking hand.Every breath was held captive by the horrifying scene as the air crackled with a silent desperation. Bethar appeared to be about to pass out, his face pale with horror.His wide shoulders, which are typically so firm and comforting, appeared to sag under an unseen burden. His gaze seemed to be fixed on a stranger as he gazed at his only child, his beloved Lira. His heart was threatened to stop completely by the terrifying picture of her about to hurt herself. “ Please Lira,” he begged in a whisper that could hardly be heard over the racing pounding of his own heart. “Anything you want, I'll do. Just drop the dagger.” Normally full of fierce protectiveness his eyes now swam with a pleading, desperate sorrow. He reached out t
