CHAPTER 58: SHIFTING ALLIANCES

Word spread fast after Ragnar's declaration, faster than I expected given how isolated we'd been keeping ourselves during preparation for judgment day, and by the time we organized the summit three days later, I could feel the entire balance of power shifting beneath us like ground shifting during an earthquake.

"Corvinus is furious." Theron reported it during our morning briefing, his expression grave despite the positive momentum we'd been building. "They've dec

    CHAPTER 62: RACE TO PREVENT CATASTROPHESera returned just before midnight, her expression carrying the kind of exhaustion that comes from operating under impossible pressure, and I felt my stomach tighten the moment I saw her because whatever she'd discovered clearly wasn't good news."The bombs are already planted." She said it without preamble, moving quickly into our makeshift command center where Elric, Dante, and Theron were already gathered. "I confirmed it myself, risked getting caught to actually see them with my own eyes.""Where?" I asked, feeling dread pooling in my stomach despite already suspecting the answer."Throughout the judgment hall itself." Sera's voice carried grim certainty. "Hidden within structural supports, disguised as decorative elements, positioned to maximize casualties when detonated.""Can we remove them?" Dante asked, already thinking through tactical solutions despite the overwhelming scope of what we were facing."That's the problem." Sera shook her

  • THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE   THE ASHENHEART SCHISM

    CHAPTER 61: THE ASHENHEART SCHISMThe messenger arrived just before dawn, breathless and clearly having run a significant distance, and something about her urgent expression made my stomach tighten before she even spoke a single word."The Ashenheart family has split." She said it quickly, still catching her breath. "Half joined Corvinus in declaring total war. The other half wants to meet with you immediately."I felt exhaustion pulling at me despite barely having slept, but I forced myself into motion anyway because with judgment day now less than twenty-four hours away, we couldn't afford to ignore any potential development that might shift the balance of power one final time."How many are we talking about?" Elric asked, already moving toward where we kept our strategic maps, already thinking through implications despite the early hour."Roughly half the family in each direction." The messenger explained. "The progressive faction is led by someone named Ember. She's requesting a p

    CHAPTER 60: RECRUITMENT DRIVEWe made it through the ambush. Just barely. I spent the drive back to Shadowfang trying to make sense of everything that had happened. I was also keeping pressure on Elric's wound. He got hurt protecting Adrian from a hunter's blade.Adrian was quiet for most of the trip. He just stared at his hands like they might suddenly catch fire again. I knew how overwhelming this must feel for him. He went from a normal life to supernatural combat in just a few hours."They've been watching him," I said again. I was still trying to understand what it meant. "That means they've probably been watching every hidden Moonborn we don't even know about.""Which means we need to find them," Dante said grimly. He was tired. Adrenaline was still pumping through him. "Before Corvinus can hurt them. Use them against us."That night I looked at Nelly's journal. I studied the locations she had written down. We had less than two days before Judgment Day. We couldn't ignore the ne

  • THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE   THE BROTHER

    CHAPTER 59: THE BROTHERI looked at the address on the paper Kira had given me a while back. It was where she said my half-brother was sent when he was a baby. I kept wondering if I was really ready for this. Could I handle finding out about another family member I never knew existed?Elric told me I did not have to do this."You have a lot going on," he said gently. "You can do this later."He was watching me pace near the car we were going to take to the city.I knew I had to do this."If Kira is right, if he is there living a normal life and does not know what he really is, then every day we wait is another day he is in danger."I stopped pacing. Looked at Elric."We have to tell him."Dante joined us. He looked excited and nervous at the same time."Another brother," he said slowly. "I am still getting used to having a sister. Now I have another sibling.""Half-brother," I corrected him.It did not feel like it mattered that much, though. Not after everything we had been through a

Theron reported it during our morning briefing, his expression grave despite the positive momentum we'd been building. "They've declared total war, no negotiations, no mercy. Losing two families to your cause apparently pushed them past whatever restraint they were maintaining before.""And Ashenheart?" I asked, watching Dante pace near the window, watching him process information the same way he'd been doing constantly since we'd started this whole impossible campaign to fracture our enemies."Split." Theron's expression turned complicated. "Some want peace, recognize the shifting tide. Others lost family members during th

    CHAPTER 57: TRIAL BY COMBATI stepped into the arena. My chest felt tight. Thousands of people from every faction were watching me. I was walking toward what might be the fight of my life. I told myself to keep breathing and not let panic take over.Ragnar was standing across from me. He had a lot of scars on his body. He moved like fighting was just a part of who he was."So this is the Moonborn everyone's talking about," he said. His voice was curious, not mean like I thought it would be. "You're small for someone who's supposed to be powerful.""Size isn't everything," I said. I tried to sound confident. My hands were shaking. I was scared. My hands were on fire with flames."We'll see," Ragnar said. He raised his sword. It looked like it had been used to hurt a lot of people. "Let's see if you're worthy of the fear my family has of your kind."The fight began. I was in trouble right away. Ragnar was really good at fighting. I was just trying to defend myself. I threw fire at him,

    CHAPTER 6: ASHES AND SECRETS We had to keep moving because this place we're staying isn't safe anymore. I pressed harder against Elric's side, trying to ignore how much of his weight I was carrying. Blood soaked through his shirt where that packleader had torn his fang into him. The wound looked

Keeping my head down, doing what I was told, avoiding the kind of attention that led to consequences. In our pack, girls like me didn’t get seen—we served, we obeyed, we endured.
