The Chase Begins

The forest felt colder than Lyra remembered.

Moonlight filtered through the twisted branches, casting sharp shadows on the ground like claws. The trees loomed tall and menacing, their bare limbs stretching skyward. Her breath misted in the icy air as she pressed on, the weight of rejection pressing down upon her heart like a heavy iron shackle.

Each step was agonizing. Her feet throbbed and bled, her body trembled with fatigue. The pain of the severed mate bond persisted—it pulsed beneath her skin like poison, clouding her thoughts and unraveling her determination to fight.

Yet she had to keep going.

She had to survive.

A sound echoed behind her.

Snap.

Her breath caught.

She was not alone.

She turned, scanning the shadows, her heart racing. The wind shifted, bringing the sharp scent of wolf musk and blood. Her wolf stirred within, growling softly and alerting her that danger was approaching.

They were hunting her.

She bolted away.

Branches whipped at her face as she f

    Whispers of the Forbidden GateThe tunnel had fallen silent once more, but it wasn’t a relief-inducing quiet. It was the oppressive type—the kind that lingers over a battlefield immediately after the cries have ceased. The atmosphere was dense with the remnants of Luna’s energy, still resonating faintly against the stone.Rowan kept one arm securely around her waist as they proceeded further into the passage. She was stable enough to move, yet her legs shuddered occasionally. Each shudder made Rowan’s teeth grind.“I’m okay,” she murmured.“You’re not okay,” Rowan replied, tightening his grip. “You exhausted too much energy. We should pause—”“No.”Her tone was soft yet unyielding.“We can rest later. If we pause now, they’ll catch up.”Kai glanced back over his shoulder. “She’s right. I can still detect their foulness lingering in the air. They’re regrouping—they realize she’s nearing the Temple’s core.”Rowan despised it, but he couldn’t dispute it.They pressed on down the stone pa

    The Ambush in the Hollow TunnelsLuna pressed forward as the tunnel constricted, her torch flickering against the icy stone surfaces. The atmosphere felt dense, resonating with an indescribable energy that unsettled her. Rowan’s footsteps were silent behind her, yet she sensed his presence—steady, vigilant, prepared.“Keep close,” he whispered.His voice reverberated in the darkness, providing her with a sense of stability.“I am,” she replied softly, even as her heart raced.They had anticipated that the inner chambers of the Moon Temple would be serene, undisturbed for hundreds of years. Instead, with each step deeper, the sensation of being observed intensified—as if the shadows themselves were eavesdropping.Kai followed behind, his instincts honed, his nose quivering. “Something isn’t right. The scent ahead… it’s faint, but it’s fresh. Someone has been here not long ago.”Luna’s stomach knotted. “Are they still nearby?”Before he could respond, a deep growl reverberated from the

    A Voice in the DarkThe night enveloped the forest like a living creature. The darkness was not vacant—it inhaled, it listened, it lingered.Aria sensed it.The frigid wind sliced through her cloak as she sprinted, branches lashing against her arms. Her heart raced in her ears, each beat a reminder of what she had just witnessed—the glowing eyes, the eerie movement in the shadows, the whisper invoking her name despite the absence of anyone.Not tonight.Not when the Alpha Council was already on her trail.Not when she had narrowly escaped the ambush with her life intact.Her legs screamed with fatigue, but she didn’t halt. She couldn’t. Behind her, the forest crackled with footsteps that belonged to neither wolves nor humans.“Aria…”The voice oozed through the trees—low, deep, and unsettling.She faltered, breath coming in quick gasps. “Who’s there?”A quiet followed. Too quiet. Too oppressive.Then—A silhouette surged from the shadows.Tall.Cloaked.Stationary.Aria recoiled, her

    The Temple QuakesHelena hardly had a moment to catch her breath.The revelation about her parents still resonated in her chest like a fresh injury—sharp, burning, too heavy to bear. Aiden held her tightly, providing comfort as the chamber’s frigid silence enveloped them. Yet even in his embrace, she felt unstable, as though the ground beneath could give way.Then the ground truly shook.A profound rumble coursed through the earth, resonating up their legs. Dust floated down from the domed ceiling. Aiden’s head jerked up immediately, instincts on high alert, his wolf instincts surfacing.“What was that?” Helena murmured.Before the Moon Priestess could respond, another fierce tremor jolted through the chamber. Ancient scrolls rattled. Moonstone tablets toppled off their shelves and shattered. The torches fixed to the walls flared, their flames turning an eerie blue.Aiden positioned himself in front of Helena. “This place isn’t secure. We must move—now.”But the priestess shook her he

    The Secret Written in BloodAs Helena ventured further into the Moon Temple, the torches lining the ancient corridor flickered erratically, her heartbeat echoing more loudly than her steps. The atmosphere was dense, laden with eons of undiscovered mysteries. Aiden stayed closely behind, his hand lightly resting on her lower back, offering her stability as her thoughts raced uncontrollably.“We're nearly there,” Aiden murmured, even though his tone carried the same weight that constricted her chest.In front of them, the Moon Priestess halted before a colossal stone door embossed with the symbol of the first Moon-Blessed—an open hand cradling a crescent moon. She turned to Helena, her expression inscrutable.“Your blood will unlock it,” the priestess said quietly.Helena's breath caught in her throat. It always circled back to her blood—her burden, her curse, her gift. Aiden's hand enveloped hers softly.“You don't have to do anything you're unprepared for,” he whispered.But Helena sh

    The Blood Oath of Two WolvesThe air around them continued to shake from the resonance of the prophecy when Aiden grasped Helena’s wrist tightly and drew her behind a pillar inscribed with ancient lunar runes. Her heart raced, and her blood surged with both fear and anticipation. The Moon Temple stood majestically behind them, glowing softly as the last fragments of divine energy sank into the earth.“Stay still,” Aiden whispered, positioning himself protectively in front of her with his claws partially bared. “Someone’s been tracking us since we emerged from the passage.”Helena swallowed nervously, her senses sharpening. She could detect it too—wolves, but not from their pack. The scent was wild, metallic, and laced with something primordial. Not rogues. Not warriors. Something in between.“Reveal yourself!” Aiden snarled, his alpha presence radiating like a tempest.Three silhouettes emerged from the trees, moonlight glinting off their unusual markings—deep crimson swirls across th
