When the Moon Chooses Sides

The night felt heavier than usual.

Not because of storm clouds or rain, but rather something invisible, pressing down on the land like a breath held too long.

Aria stood at the edge of the Silvercrest borders, her cloak wrapped tightly around her shoulders as the wind whispered through the trees. Ever since she left the ruins, the forest had felt different. The moon above shone brighter, colder—almost as if it were watching her closely now.

Judging her.

Choosing her.

Rowan stood beside her, quiet and alert. He hadn’t said much since Elder Morian vanished into smoke, but Aria could sense his thoughts hanging in the air like a taut string. His wolf stirred beneath his skin, restless and angry.

“You’re thinking about what he said,” Aria murmured.

Rowan didn’t argue. “He didn’t threaten us like men usually do. He warned us.”

Aria’s jaw tightened. “Warnings from the High Council are just threats dressed up in patience.”

Rowan glanced at her. “You’ve changed.”

    The Shadow That Knows Her NameThe storm had not eased when Aria and Rowan returned to the pack borders. The wind howled louder, as if the forest sensed what had awakened inside her.Aria walked beside Rowan in silence. Her steps were steady, but her thoughts churned like a stormy sea. Selene’s revelations, Morian’s threats, her mother’s memories spun wildly in her mind, refusing to settle.She had always known she was different. She just never imagined that difference would make her a target.The guards straightened as Rowan approached, bowing quickly in respect.“Alpha, Luna,” the lead warrior greeted. “No new intrusions reported. Patrols are doubled as ordered.”Rowan nodded curtly, but Aria barely registered the exchange. Her senses were sharper now, uncomfortably sharp. Every heartbeat within twenty steps pulsed in her ears. Even the wind brushing over the tree bark carried whispers she felt rather than heard.Rowan noticed.He always did.“You’re overwhelmed,” he said softly as

    The Moon’s PriceThe sky was a deep shade when Aria opened her eyes. She didn’t remember collapsing. She didn’t know when everything turned dark. But she remembered the light—blinding, ancient, powerful—pulling her through memories that weren’t hers, truths she wasn’t ready for, and a pain that felt like it was tearing her apart. Now, she lay on cool stone, her breath shallow, her skin damp with sweat. Her vision cleared slowly. Rowan knelt beside her, his hands shaking as they hovered over her cheeks. He was afraid to touch her, terrified of losing her. “Aria—Aria, look at me.” His voice cracked, like something inside him was breaking. She blinked, weak but aware. “Rowan…” He let out a shaky breath, relief washing over him as he finally pulled her into his arms. His embrace felt desperate—an Alpha clinging to the one thing he couldn’t afford to lose. “You scared me,” he whispered into her hair. Aria wrapped her arms around him, but her chest trembled from the force of what

    The Luna Who Walks With ShadowsThe night settled over the Silvercrest forest like a velvet cloak. The moon hung low, full, bright, and watching. Aria felt its pull thrumming through her veins as she moved through the trees. Each step was soft but purposeful. The world around her shimmered with a strange stillness, as if every creature sensed that tonight marked a turning point.Rowan walked beside her, but he didn’t touch her. His presence was steady and grounding. Even he could feel the shift in Aria, the rising tide of power inside her that was clear to everyone.Ever since Selene had unlocked the memories of Aria’s mother, something inside her had awakened. It felt sharp, clear, and alive. Her senses stretched beyond the limits of a wolf. She sensed emotions in the air, heard whispers in the wind, and tasted something ancient with every breath.But power came with weight.Aria felt every ounce of it.The trees parted ahead, revealing a circular clearing bathed in moonlight. The st

    THE TRUTH ARIA NEVER SAW COMINGThe Moonstone courtyard was eerily quiet—unnaturally quiet. Even the wind appeared to pause, as if it understood that a single misplaced whisper could fracture everything that was still holding Aria together. Torches flickered against the stone walls, their dim light casting shadows on the faces of warriors who were feigning indifference.Aria stood at the heart of the courtyard, her cloak billowing behind her like a shadow attempting to cling to her form. Her palms still throbbed from the earlier surge of power—power she was not meant to possess, power she still did not fully comprehend.Rowan faced her, arms crossed over his chest, jaw clenched, eyes locked onto her as if anticipating another explosion.“Say it,” Aria insisted, her voice steady yet low, quivering with suppressed rage. “You claimed you had answers. I am finished waiting, Rowan.”He took a slow breath. “Aria… the truth is not something that can be easily conveyed.”Her laughter was ting

    The Luna Who Refuses to BreakThe Cursed Luna’s Return”Outside Moonstone Fortress, the wind roared, shaking the tall windows as if it were warning the warriors within of a tempest far more serious than the one brewing in the skies. The council chamber illuminated by flickering torches cast shifting shadows along the stone walls, resembling restless spirits.Aria stood at the heart of the room, her posture erect, and chin held high. She exuded the presence of a Luna forged from iron—graceful, formidable, and unwavering. Just weeks earlier, she would have quaked under the scrutiny of so many judging gazes. Now, she felt only the fire igniting her blood.The council had convened at Rowan’s behest, yet Aria understood the reality: they had gathered out of apprehension.Apprehension about the prophecy.Apprehension regarding the rogue attacks.Apprehension about her.Rowan made his entrance last. His mere presence enveloped the room like a clap of thunder—authoritative, potent, and filled
