Chapter Fifty-Four

The Last Stand

The mountain shook with a force that sent cracks racing through the eastern passage.

Dust poured from the ceiling.

Behind them, the roar of the Abyss Pack echoed through the tunnels, growing louder with every heartbeat.

No one dared look back.

Not because they were afraid of what they would see.

Because they already knew.

The First Beast was standing alone.

Against an army.

Against the Primordial Darkness.

Against impossible odds.

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The silver eyes

    Chapter Sixty-TwoThe Silver EyesThe battlefield held its breath.The ancient prisoner's silver eye stayed fixed on Ariana, unblinking, patient, like it had nowhere else to be.No one understood what had just happened.The Primordial Darkness looked from Ariana to the creature beneath the earth, its expression darkening with every passing second."This is impossible."Its voice had lost its usual weight. What was left underneath it sounded almost like doubt.The prisoner ignored it completely.The deep voice returned inside Ariana's mind.You carry her blessing.Ariana's fingers tightened around the First Blade."Who are you?"The words left her lips before she realized she'd spoken them out loud.Kael turned toward her at once. "Ariana?"She didn't answer. Her attention stayed locked on the giant creature.The voice continued.I have forgotten my own name.A wave of sadness rolled through her chest, heavy enough to steal her breath."How can someone forget their own name?"When thou

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The beast Beneath the World

    Chapter Sixty-OneThe Beast Beneath the WorldNo one moved.The enormous claw stayed half buried in the shattered earth, silver chains wrapped around it from wrist to talon, each one carved with runes that glowed like moonlight.These hadn't been forged to hold back an ordinary creature.They'd been forged to hold back a nightmare.The battlefield had gone completely silent. Even the wounded stopped crying out. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath. Every eye in the valley stayed fixed on the abyss that had torn open in the ground, waiting to see what climbed out of it next.Ariana felt the First Blade warm in her hand.Not with recognition this time.With warning.***The Primordial Darkness lowered its head.The gesture alone sent a chill through everyone close enough to see it.Captain Lyra frowned. "It bowed."Lucien gave a slow nod. "I saw it too."Ronan's grip tightened on his sword. "I don't like anything powerful enough to make that thing show respect.""No one should," Eryn

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The wrath of the primordial

    Chapter SixtyThe Wrath of the PrimordialSilence spread across the valley.No one moved. Nobody could believe what they'd just watched happen.The First Fang.The undefeated General of the Abyss, the wolf who had broken a hundred kings and never once knelt for anyone.Had bowed before Kael.The corrupted army stood frozen, waiting for some signal that never came. Many of them stared at Varkor like they expected him to laugh, to spring back up and reveal the whole thing as a trick.He didn't laugh.He stayed exactly where he was, kneeling beside Kael, and when he finally lifted his head, he held it high, like a man remembering what pride used to feel like.The gold in his eyes burned brighter with every second that passed. Whatever corruption had gripped him for centuries was losing its hold, peeling back layer by layer, and everyone close enough could see it happening in real time.Across the ruined field, the Primordial Darkness said nothing at all.Its eyes, red as an open wound, f

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The king still stands

    Chapter Fifty-NineThe King Still StandsThe dust refused to settle.A thick cloud covered the battlefield, swallowing both Alpha Kings from sight.No one moved.No one dared breathe too loudly.Thousands of eyes remained fixed on the center of the valley.Ariana's fingers tightened around the First Blade.She wanted to run forward.Every part of her wanted to see him.To know he was alive.But the ancient law still held.The duel had not ended.No one could interfere.Not yet.---A low growl echoed through the dust.Then another.Heavy footsteps followed.The cloud slowly began to thin.One enormous figure stood in the middle of the shattered ground.Its black fur was streaked with blood.Deep claw marks covered its shoulders.One ear had been torn almost completely away.Still...Varkor remained standing.A murmur spread through the enemy ranks.The Abyss General threw back his head and roared.The corrupted army answered with deafening howls.Captain Lyra lowered her eyes."No..."

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The Duel of Alpha kings

    Chapter Fifty-EightThe Duel of Alpha KingsThe valley fell into complete silence.Thousands of warriors stood frozen.No arrows were raised.No swords were drawn.Even the wind seemed to pause as Kael walked away from the fortress.Every step echoed against the stone beneath his boots.The Abyss General watched him approach without moving.It stood at the center of the battlefield like a mountain of black fur and crimson scars.Its eyes never left the Alpha King.Finn spoke quietly from the fortress wall."The Law of the First Packs cannot be broken."Captain Lyra frowned."What happens if someone interferes?""The duel ends.""And the truce dies with it."Lucien's jaw tightened."So everyone watches.""And no one moves."Finn nodded."No matter what happens."Behind them, the corrupted army had gone still in a way that felt unnatural, like a held breath from something that shouldn't breathe at all. Ariana counted the seconds by the pounding of her own pulse.---Kael stopped a few p

  • THE LUNA HE SWORE TO KILL   The. siege of the eastern fortress

    Chapter Fifty-SevenThe Siege of the Eastern FortressThe laughter rolled across the valley.Cold, victorious and certain.Thousands of corrupted wolves stood behind the Primordial Darkness, stretching from one end of the plain to the other. Black banners fluttered above the army, and the ground shook beneath the weight of marching soldiers.No one on the fortress walls spoke.Captain Lyra gripped the stone battlements until her knuckles turned white."We've never seen an army this large."Lucien stood beside her, studying the enemy lines."This isn't an army.""It's an invasion."---The Primordial Darkness floated above its soldiers.Its crimson eyes settled on Ariana."You've been very busy."Ariana refused to step back."You should still be buried beneath the mountain."The creature smiled."The First Beast underestimated one thing.""What?""My patience."Black mist swirled around its enormous form."I didn't need to escape.""I only needed a crack."It raised one hand.Far behin
