The Shadow After the Dawn

The cool night air still resonated with the remnants of conflict—the murmurs of wolves who had battled, bled, and emerged victorious. The moon hung low in the sky, draping the world in silver as if attempting to cleanse the crimson reminders of the events that had transpired just hours ago. The atmosphere was thick with weariness and relief, yet an unsettling silence lingered beneath the surface.

Selene stood at the boundary of the clearing, her bare feet sinking into the cool ground. A gentle breeze tangled her hair as it wafted the scents of smoke, blood, and earth toward her. The pack was mending, slowly reassembling itself, but her heart resisted finding peace.

Reven made his way toward her from behind, his approach silent yet confident. Even without turning around, she sensed him—the way his presence always stabilized her, calming her inner turmoil. “You need to rest,” he said softly, his voice low and rough from exhaustion and something deeper—concern.

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 61

    The Betrayal WithinThe moon loomed low over the camp, its silvery glow dancing across the clearing where the pack had assembled. The atmosphere felt unusual that night — thick and electric, as if the woods themselves were holding their breath. Kael stood on the ridge surveying his warriors, his gaze probing every shadow. Since Aria’s bond mark had ignited and their connection fell silent, he hadn’t managed to sleep. Each heartbeat without her felt like a battle he was losing ground in.“Alpha,” Rian, his beta, said as he approached. “We’ve scoured the western ridge. No signs of rogues.”Kael nodded, though his intuition warned him that something was amiss. “Increase the guards. I sense we are being watched.”Rian hesitated. “Kael, the men are worn out. Perhaps we should rest—”“Do it,” Kael snapped, his voice harsher than he meant.Rian bowed slightly, concealing the brief flicker of annoyance that crossed his face before departing. Kael frowned. Something about Rian’s scent — once s

    The Seer’s WarningThe night was still, yet Kael found himself unable to rest. The fire outside the cabin had dwindled to glowing coals, crackling softly with the breeze. Aria lay in bed, her breathing delicate, her face pale under the glow of the moon. Even in slumber, she stirred — ensnared in dreams from which she couldn’t break free.Kael observed her for a long while before getting to his feet and stepping outside. His wolf senses were agitated, troubled by what he’d witnessed in the river. That reflection — those dark eyes — hadn’t been an illusion. They were real, and they were beckoning her.He required answers.Without a second thought, Kael transformed into his wolf form, his robust body slicing through the trees with silent agility. The forest stretched endlessly ahead, silver mist curling around the roots and branches. He ran until he reached a location he hadn’t visited in years — the sacred grove of the Seer.As soon as he entered the clearing, the air thickened with anc

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 59

    The Darkness WithinKael stirred awake to the gentle light of dawn filtering through the cabin window, his arm instinctively reaching for Aria beside him. But the bed was vacant. His heart raced as his senses heightened — her scent lingered faintly, vanishing.He quickly got up, throwing on his shirt as he stepped outside into the chill of the morning. The forest lay silent, save for the leaves rustling, sharing secrets he couldn’t comprehend. Then he spotted her — standing by the riverbank, her dark hair dancing in the wind, her reflection on the water quivering like her spirit.“Aria,” he called softly.She didn’t react. Her gaze was locked on the flowing water, silver threads of magic flickering beneath her skin.“I can feel it, Kael,” she murmured as he approached. “The curse… it’s stirring. Every time I harness my power, it becomes stronger. It’s like it’s feeding off me.”Kael positioned himself behind her, enveloping her waist in his arms. “You’re not facing this alone, Aria. W

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 58

    Shadows of the PastMoonlight faintly glistened through the shattered windows of the old cabin, creating eerie shapes on the floorboards. Aria lingered in the doorway, her breath haggard. This place — this desolate structure deep in the forest — was where everything had begun. The aroma of damp moss and rotting wood mingled with a subtle hint of something she could never forget: blood.Her heart ached as she brushed her fingers against the wall, recalling the screams, the betrayal, the night her life unraveled.Behind her, Kael entered silently. His presence infused the space with warmth, despite the biting wind outside. “You shouldn’t have come here on your own,” he said quietly.Aria turned to meet his eyes. “I had to, Kael. I must confront what happened here. I need to remember everything.”Kael’s jaw clenched. “Some memories are best left forgotten.”“But some are what define us,” she countered, her voice wavering. “If I can’t confront my past, how can I stand up for my future?”H

    Beneath the Crimson VeilObscurity. That was all Selene initially comprehended. It wasn’t a fearsome kind of obscurity—it was weighty, infinite, and oddly sentient. She floated within it, sensing the earth's rhythm beneath her, as if the world itself was alive.Her body throbbed, but it was a remote kind of discomfort, akin to a recollection rather than an injury. When she finally managed to open her eyes, the realm glowed gently in crimson. She found herself on a bed of lush moss, encircled by walls that shimmered like molten rock. The air pulsated, imbued with age-old magic."Reven..." she murmured, her voice rough.For a fleeting moment, silence lingered. Then, a groan echoed nearby. She turned swiftly, heart racing as she spotted him—her Alpha, her mate—lying a short distance away, his body bruised but intact. The faint glow from the walls caught the silver streaks in his hair, rendering him almost ethereal.She crawled closer, placing a trembling hand on his chest. His heartbeat

    When the Moon WeepsThe subsequent night arrived too quickly, shrouding the fortress in a heavy, unsettling stillness. The torches lining the walls flickered dimly, their flames wavering like fading stars. Wolves now roamed in pairs, their ears quivering at every sound, their hearts burdened with fatigue and fear.Jorah leaned against the western watchtower, gazing into the fog. They had been waiting for three days. Three long, seemingly endless days had passed since the earth ceased to tremor. No fresh shocks, no voices, no indications — only silence.Sleep evaded him. Each time he shut his eyes, the valley appeared before him — illuminated in red, exhaling darkness — accompanied by Selene’s voice floating on the breeze.“Commander,” a gentle voice called from behind. It was Mira again. She had scarcely left his side since that fateful night. Her robes were stained with ash and dried blood from her efforts to care for the injured, yet her spirit radiated a quiet resilience that reass
