Chapter Nineteen

The First Door

The hidden corridor stretched endlessly before them.

Silver flames burned along the walls, casting strange shadows across the ancient stone. The air felt different here. Quieter. Older.

As though the passage had existed long before the kingdom itself.

Nobody rushed forward.

Nobody volunteered to be first.

Ronan folded his arms.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

Kael glanced at him.

"You always have a bad feeling."

"Because I'm usually right."

Ariana almost smile

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The Queen's secret

    Chapter Thirty-TwoThe Queen's SecretThe chamber exploded with voices.Questions, accusations and disbelief.Everyone was speaking at once.Everyone except Selene.The Queen stood perfectly still.Tears filled her eyes.Her hands trembled at her sides.And that silence terrified Ariana more than anything else.Because if the Shadow Wolf was lying, her mother would have denied it immediately.She would have fought back.She would have called it a monster and told everyone not to listen.Instead...She looked guilty."Ariana."Selene's voice cracked.The sound made Ariana's stomach twist."No."The single word left Ariana's mouth before she could stop it.The Queen froze.Ariana stared at her.For years she had searched for answers.For years she had been told half-truths and secrets.Every time she discovered one truth, another lie appeared behind it.She was tired, so tired."Tell me he's lying."Silence.The chamber became so quiet that even the distant groaning of the ruins could b

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The voice in the darkness

    Chapter Thirty-OneThe Voice in the DarknessThe chamber stood frozen.The Moon Crown hovered above the throne, bathing the ruins in silver light.Beneath the shattered floor, darkness churned like a living thing.The enormous red eyes of the Shadow Wolf glowed from the abyss.The ancient voice of the Crown still echoed through the chamber."Seal the Shadow.""Or claim its power."Ariana stared at the darkness.Her answer came immediately."We seal it."Malrik laughed.The sound bounced off the ruined walls."Of course you would."Ariana turned toward him."You think I'm going to trust something locked beneath a kingdom for centuries?""No."The warlord smiled."I think you're making a decision without knowing the truth."Kael stepped beside her."We've heard enough truth from you."The Alpha King's voice was cold.Malrik didn't seem bothered.Instead, he pointed toward the abyss."Then ask it."Silence followed.The suggestion should have sounded ridiculous.Yet nobody dismissed it.

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The King's trial

    Chapter Twenty-TwoThe King's TrialThe underground passage stretched endlessly before them.Silver torches burned along the walls, casting pale light across ancient stone.Ariana walked at the front of the group.The glowing mark on her wrist had not stopped shining since they entered the hidden section of the palace.Every step seemed to pull her deeper into a place she somehow remembered and didn't remember at the same time.Beside her, Kael remained alert.His eyes constantly scanned the corridor.After everything they had faced recently, nobody trusted quiet places anymore.Especially not ancient royal ruins."This place feels strange," Ronan muttered.Lucien glanced at him."Strange how?"Ronan scratched his beard."Like someone's watching us."Several warriors immediately looked around.Nothing moved, nothing appeared.Yet Ariana understood exactly what he meant.The palace felt alive.As though it knew they were here.As though it had been waiting.For her, for Orion, for the

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   What sleeps Beneath

    Chapter ThirtyWhat Sleeps BeneathThe chamber shook so violently that several warriors lost their footing.Cracks spread across the floor like spiderwebs.Dark energy poured from them.Not anything connected to the Moon Crown.This power felt wrong.The royal guardians immediately moved.Their glowing eyes locked onto Malrik, their weapons rose as one.The ancient voice echoed throughout the chamber."The Seal has been disturbed."Malrik smiled, a real smile this time.The smile of a man finally getting exactly what he wanted.Ariana's stomach twisted.Whatever was happening...It was bigger than the Crown, bigger than the kingdom.Maybe bigger than anything they had faced before.Kael stepped forward."What is beneath these ruins?"Malrik laughed."You don't know?"The warlord looked genuinely amused.Then his gaze shifted toward the throne.Toward the Moon Crown.Toward the ancient symbols carved into every wall."They told you about the Crown."His smile widened."But not why it w

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The Enemy Arrives

    Chapter Twenty-SixThe Enemy ArrivesThe chamber erupted into motion.Every warrior immediately reached for a weapon.The wounded scout struggled to remain standing.Blood stained his shirt and dust covered his face.The fear in his eyes told everyone this wasn't a false alarm.This was real.Malrik had found them, after years of hiding, after years of searching.He had finally found them.Kael grabbed the warrior's shoulders."How many?"The scout swallowed."Hundreds."The room fell silent."Hundreds?" Ronan repeated.The scout nodded."Maybe more."Nobody liked that answer not even a little.Another explosion shook the ruins overhead.Stone dust rained from the ceiling.Ariana felt the ground tremble beneath her boots.The battle had already started.Kael's expression hardened."Get everyone ready."The command echoed through the chamber.Warriors immediately rushed toward the staircase.Lucien was already barking orders.Ronan followed him.The royal chamber transformed into a war

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The crown's Choice

    Chapter Twenty-FiveThe Crown's ChoiceThe royal chamber stood completely still.The ancient voice had only spoken a few words, yet those words carried enough weight to change everything.The heir has been chosen.Ariana stared at the glowing Moon Crown.Beside her, Orion remained silent.For the first time since meeting him, she couldn't read his expression.Maybe because she was feeling the same thing.Fear...Not fear of the Crown.Not fear of power.Fear of what would happen after the choice was revealed.The Crown pulsed again.Silver light spread across the chamber floor.Ancient symbols glowed brighter.The throne trembled, then the voice returned."The bloodline stands united once more."The light moved slowly like flowing water.Everyone watched as silver energy left the Crown and traveled across the floor.Toward Ariana, toward Orion then toward both of them.Lucien frowned."That isn't supposed to happen."Ronan immediately looked concerned."I don't like hearing that."Neit

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The name behind the fall

    Chapter Twenty-ThreeThe Name Behind The FallThe black door closed behind them with a heavy boom.The sound echoed through the darkness.Ariana immediately turned around.The entrance had vanished.Of course it had.At this point, she expected ancient magical places to trap people.The chamber ahe

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The mark on the wall

    Chapter ThreeThe Mark on the WallThe ballroom exploded into chaos.Voices rose from every direction at once.“Seal the gates!”“Protect the Alpha!”“Who got inside the estate?”Ariana stood frozen while fear spread through the room like wildfire.Kael’s face became dangerously still.“What symbol

    Chapter TwoImpossibleAriana stared at Kael in confusion.“What’s impossible?”Kael didn’t answer immediately.His attention remained fixed on the place near her neck where the strange silver glow had appeared moments ago.Ariana stepped back again. “You’re starting to scare me.”That finally seem

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   Sold

    Chapter OneSoldRain hit the roof in hard, angry drops.Ariana sat quietly on the floor beside the kitchen wall, her fingers wrapped around a cracked cup of cold tea. The house smelled like smoke, old wood, and wet clothes. Somewhere upstairs, music played softly while laughter echoed through the
