Draven kept his promise about the surprise date.

He showed up there at dusk with a packed luggage and that sly expression that suggested he had been preparing something grandiose. "Are you ready?" he inquired. I'm not sure what I should be prepared for.

He smiled. "Perfect. That is the point of a surprise." Taking my hand, he led me toward the stables. "We ride for two hours. Then you will see," he promised.

"Two hours? Draven, we have final preparations—"

"You can put that off until tomorrow.

  • THE SHADOWBORN LUNA   The Final Purge

    The intelligence about the Cleansing's reorganization proved accurate faster than anticipated.Five days after Garrett's warning, we intercepted detailed operational plans. Not through clever surveillance—they wanted us to find them. Left the documents in locations our teams would discover, ensuring we'd know what was coming."It's a psychological attack," Lyra said, analyzing the deliberately leaked plans. "They want us terrified and reactive. Want us to see the scope of what they're planning and feel helpless to stop it."The plans were horrifying in their detail. Coordinated strikes on twelve facilities simultaneously. But not just attacks—complete annihilation attempts using explosives, accelerants, and tactical teams large enough to overwhelm even enhanced security. The goal wasn't to disrupt operations or cause casualties. It was total destruction of coalition infrastructure and everyone inside."They're calling it the Final Purge," Sebastian said, voice hollow. "Elimination of

  • THE SHADOWBORN LUNA   The Veil's Price

    I met Aelindra at dawn in the ancient forest where the Veil's presence was strongest. The air shimmered with dimensional energy, making reality feel thin and malleable. She waited beside a massive oak that had probably witnessed centuries of supernatural history."Luna Kaia. Thank you for coming alone." Aelindra's usual ethereal composure was strained. "What I need to discuss cannot be shared with your advisors yet. Not until you decide how to handle the implications.""That's ominous.""That's accurate." She gestured, and the space around us shifted—privacy ward, blocking sound and magical detection. "The Veil healing has progressed faster than fae projections anticipated. Your power output, combined with manifestation acceleration, has created feedback loop. The Veil strengthens, which releases more accumulated energy, which triggers more manifestations, which creates more chaos magic that flows back into Veil healing. Exponential cycle.""That sounds good. Faster healing, stronger

  • THE SHADOWBORN LUNA    Breaking Point

    Cassandra's prediction came true faster than anticipated.Forty-eight hours after her warning, the first cluster manifestation hit a small pack territory in the Midwest—eighty-three people manifesting within a six-hour window. Our mobile response team arrived four hours into the crisis to find twelve dead, twenty-three critically injured, and the local Alpha's entire enforcement structure collapsed from being overwhelmed."It was like a wave," the Alpha told me, voice shaking. "One person manifested, then another, then five more. Within an hour, half my pack was experiencing power surges. We had no protocols, no training, no way to manage that volume of crisis simultaneously."We saved most. But twelve deaths in a single incident—our worst loss since the Cleansing attacks.And according to Cassandra's analysis, it wouldn't be the last."I've identified nine more regions with similar risk profiles," she reported during emergency coalition meeting. "High concentrations of dormant bloodl

  • THE SHADOWBORN LUNA   Aftermath and Acceleration

    Three days after the coordinated attacks, I stood before the Continental Council again—this time not to request resources but to report outcomes."Cleansing leadership is in custody," I began, voice hoarse from lack of sleep. "Forty-seven operatives captured, twenty-three killed during assaults, estimated fifteen to twenty scattered members remain at large. The organization is effectively dismantled though isolated incidents may continue.""At what cost?" Gregor asked quietly."Nine dead. Twenty wounded, five still critical. Psychological trauma affecting hundreds of students and staff. Property damage to three facilities requiring extensive repairs." I pulled up documentation. "But also seventeen facilities successfully defended. Approximately two hundred and forty students who would have died without advance preparation survived. The operation was costly but necessary.""Some are saying the cost was too high," Theron said. "That militarizing coalition response provoked escalation th

  • THE SHADOWBORN LUNA   War Council

    The Continental Council convened emergency session within eighteen hours of the attacks. Every Alpha attended even those who'd sent proxies to regular meetings. The terrorist declaration had created urgency that political maneuvering couldn't.I stood at the center of the chamber, physically exhausted but burning with purpose. Behind me, three students who'd survived the attacks Marcus with fresh burns from defending his dormitory, Claire with a silver knife wound across her ribs, and River who'd helped evacuate younger students during the assault on the Eastern facility."The Cleansing has declared war on awakening support operations," I began without preamble. "They've attacked three facilities simultaneously, wounded twelve students, and broadcast their intention to continue targeting vulnerable people seeking help. This is not political opposition. This is terrorism.""Strong language," Theron said coldly. "Perhaps if your facilities had adequate security""My facilities had milit

  • THE SHADOWBORN LUNA   First Blood

    The two weeks until the first facility opened passed in a blur of crisis management and infrastructure development. Manifestations continued accelerating forty-three on the worst day, thirty-two on the best. The coalition response teams worked around the clock, stabilizing, transporting, coordinating with local authorities who ranged from grateful to hostile depending on their political alignment.We saved most. Lost some. Each death felt personal.I stood now in the converted pack house that would become the Eastern Regional Training Center, watching construction crews complete final modifications. The building had been abandoned for a decade after the original pack merged with a larger territory. Now it was being reborn with a different purpose.“Looks good,” Garrett said, surveying the space. “Dormitories on the second floor can house thirty comfortably. Training rooms on the first floor are properly warded for power work. Medical bay is equipped for manifestation emergencies. Kitc
