SISTER OF SHADOWS

The air in the council chamber had shifted. Alphas murmured, uneasy. The scent of distrust clung like smoke.

Liana stood tall, her silver-flecked eyes scanning each wolf in the circle.

"I am not your enemy," she said, voice firm. "I was born of your blood. Raised as one of you. And now, I carry the truth you were all too afraid to unearth."

One Alpha—a grizzled wolf from the eastern ridge—growled. "You weren’t born a shifter. You were human. Until the bond. Until Kael."

She didn’t flinch. "And that’s exactly why I see the sickness in your systems. You protect bloodlines. I protect lives."

Kael moved beside her, golden gaze daring any to challenge.

But the murmurs only grew.

And then she said it:

"Astrid is alive. And she stands with Ronan."

The room fell silent.

Kael turned sharply. "You’re sure?"

Liana nodded, the ache rising in her throat. "I saw her. At the temple ruins. She's not the sister I knew. She's something... else."

    CHAPTER 31: Fire Beneath the MoonThe forest had gone still.But Kael hadn’t.Not since the moment he found Liana lying in the grass, her power still crackling beneath her skin like live wires. Now, back in his quarters, with the door barred and the moon high, he didn’t speak.He devoured.Liana’s back hit the wall before she could draw breath. Kael’s mouth was already on her neck, tongue tracing the pulse that still raced from the battle. His hands were everywhere—rough, shaking, needy.“You could’ve died,” he growled against her skin.“I didn’t,” she whispered, threading her fingers into his hair.His lips moved down, across her collarbone, his teeth grazing the mating mark. It glowed silver beneath his touch—more volatile now. Hungrier.Liana gasped as he lifted her, pressing her against the cold stone wall like she weighed nothing.“You walked into death’s mouth without telling me.”“I had to—”Kael silenced her with his mouth.This kiss wasn’t gentle. It was claiming. Desperate.

    THE BRIDE AND THE BEASTThe Well didn’t welcome them.It devoured.As Liana stepped fully into the void, her skin screamed. Her lungs constricted, not from lack of air—but from presence. Like something ancient coiled around her ribcage and watched.Astrid turned sharply, fury flashing in her silver-bright eyes. “You shouldn’t be here.”“You promised I wouldn’t be alone,” Liana said, voice low but firm. “Neither will you.”The void rippled around them, shuddering at the weight of twin blood.And then it fractured.Reality blinked.Suddenly, they stood in a garden.The Crescent stronghold in full bloom—flowers glowing faintly in the twilight, fountains singing, wolves lounging in peace.But something was wrong.Too perfect. Too quiet.Astrid’s breath caught. “This isn’t real.”“I know,” Liana whispered.But part of her wanted it to be.Because across the courtyard, she saw him.Kael.Whole. Unscarred. Smiling.He stood beside a cradle—rocking it gently with a look of peace Liana had nev

    HO WAITSThe forest had never felt so silent.Even with the fires extinguished, with the blood washed from the earth, something lingered. A pressure. A whisper. As if the very soil knew what had been unleashed.Astrid hadn’t spoken since the stranger vanished.Not on the way back to the Crescent stronghold. Not when Maya hugged her, uncertain but grateful. Not even when Kael ordered extra patrols to seal the perimeter in case of another attack.She just sat on the edge of the training cliffs, high above the valley, staring into the mist as if the mountains would offer her answers.Liana didn’t push.But she watched.Closely.From the balcony of Kael’s quarters, she could see her sister’s silhouette in the morning light—still, rigid, yet somehow fragile.“She hasn’t moved,” Liana murmured.Kael stood behind her, arms crossed. “She’s unraveling. I can feel it.”“She’s stronger than that.”“She’s dangerous,” Kael corrected. “Whatever that man awakened… it’s growing. I’ve seen this kind o

    OLVES THAT REMAINAsh blanketed the battlefield like snow.Smoke curled through the trees, mingling with the scent of blood and scorched earth. The forest groaned under the weight of what had transpired—bodies strewn in broken lines, the fallen claimed by silence.But the war was over.And the Crescent Pack had won.Liana stood on the ridge overlooking the clearing, Kael at her side. His hand was warm on her lower back, steadying her as her body continued to heal. Astrid stood a few feet away, her expression unreadable, her silver eyes reflecting the morning sun that finally broke through the storm.It was the first sunrise they’d seen in three days.Below, wolves worked in silence—gathering the injured, honoring the dead. The air hummed with subdued grief and weary triumph.Maya approached, blood staining her armor, her braid loose. "The last of the rogues scattered east. Elias is hunting down the stragglers."Kael nodded. "Any casualties?"Maya looked at Liana, then Astrid. "Too ma

    THE TWIN FLAMESThe battlefield ignited.Claws clashed with steel, magic sizzled against fur and flesh, and above it all—the howl of war split the sky.Liana moved like lightning.Kael was at her side, tearing through the rogues that surged from the trees, his wolf form a living tempest of gold and fury. Elias and Maya flanked them, holding the Crescent line as the two sisters stood at the heart of the chaos.Astrid's eyes glowed black, dark energy crackling from her fingertips. Her power pulsed through the clearing, freezing the very air around them.But Liana didn’t flinch.She stepped forward, fire licking up her arms, her hair lifting with divine wind."This doesn’t have to end in blood," she shouted over the carnage. "We can still fix this. Together."Astrid laughed, bitter and bright. "Fix what? The world that left us to burn? The gods that chained our bloodline?"Her palm opened, and a blast of shadow hurtled forward.Liana countered, raising her hand. Silver light exploded out

    THE DARK MIRRORThe moon was bloodred.It hovered low in the sky as Liana stood at the edge of the forest, the trees whispering secrets only half-forgotten. The earth beneath her boots was damp, still soaked from the last storm, and yet it pulsed beneath her feet—alive, alert. As if it, too, sensed what was coming.Astrid.Her sister.Her twin.And now, her enemy.Kael stood to her right, his gold eyes scanning the darkened horizon. Around them, their most loyal warriors waited, wolves and shifters alike. Maya. Elias. The Crescent scouts. Even Sierra had returned, silent and grave."We track them through the North glade," Kael murmured. "That rogue ambush last night? It wasn't random. They're luring us in."Liana nodded, tightening her grip on the dagger at her hip. It pulsed with old magic—the same magic that shimmered now beneath her skin like starlight. Her powers had awakened, but they were still raw. Still learning to obey her will."Let them lure us," she said. "I'm done waiting
