last update publish date: 2026-03-03 15:14:31

Ralph entered Edwin's study just after nightfall, looking all worn out. His face was swollen, eyes were bloodshot from lack of adequate sleep. His boots were heavily laced with dust, and despite all of these fatigue attributes, his eyes were still very sharp and alert.

Edwin looked up from the table where he had been reviewing reports. "You are back."

"Good evening, my lord," Ralph greeted.

"Hmm," Edwin nodded. "Good evening, Ralph. You look miserable," he playfully added.

  • The Gifted Luna    Chapter 61:The Council Hearing: Truth in the Line of Fire

    The great hall of the Dark Moon Pack's council chambers had never felt so suffocating. The space was full to the brim. Every elder, high-ranking warrior, personal guards, healers, and representatives from allied packs sat in silence, with the weight of anticipation pressing on every shoulder.At the head of the long, arched chamber which was a little above ground level sat Alpha Edwin, who was dressed in jet-black attire, flanked by Ralph, and a few other trusted guards. Together with the neutral elders, Marah sat close to him.His face was expressionless, but his fingers tapped slowly on the stone armrest of his chair. A gesture which was a signal: a show of readiness, go-ahead and anxiety.On either side of the room, the rest of Edwin's best guards stood alert. Ralph, stood right behind Marah's chair, kept his gaze sweeping the crowd.At the far back, Vanessa and Garrett sat together. Garrett's smile was too wide, too confident. Vanessa, however, watched the proceedings with arms cr

  • The Gifted Luna    Chapter 75: The Smear Campaign

    Garrett's study was unusually quiet. No fire raged in the fireplace. No guards lingered by the door. It was just father and daughter, Garrett and Vanessa, who were standing in silence over a spread of papers and scrolls scattered across the table.*What do you think, Luna?* He finally said, breaking the silence."What do you mean by what do I think, father?" She answered. "I thought that you were the one calling the shots here," "Vanessa," he softly called. "You and I both know that this is not the time and place to start coming at each other or being sarcastic. At this point, we have very limited time, and it will be ideal for us to maximize it to our advantage," he said with a serious tone." Fine!" She grudgingly replied."Great!" He exclaimed. " So back to what I think, I think...." he said, shaking his head. " I know that she is nothing short of a liability," Garrett muttered, pointing at a record bearing Marah's name. "And if she testifies, it is really over for us. We will be

    The firelight from Garrett's fireplace burned low, casting angry flickers across the stone walls of his private chambers. The stench of burnt scrolls and records still clung to his cloak as he paced.Two of his masked enforcers stood silently before him, with their heads bowed. The kind of wolf who did not need details, only orders. Garrett's voice was low, deadly calm."We are at your service, Beta Garrett," one of them spoke after a moment of silence."Your task tonight is simple and straightforward," Garrett said."You should go into Alpha's residence," he said. "There is a maid called Marah. She sleeps under heavy guard in a place that I do not know if but I trust you to find your way around it. "The two assassins nodded, wordless, although they had doubts in their hearts."No mess," Garrett added. "No noise. You can poison her if you can. But make sure to silence her before dawn."Before the command could be echoed, a sharp voice ran through the room:"Are you out of your mind?"

    Across the territory, in Edwin's war room, Ralph relayed Miles' message with cold urgency."Are you sure that Miles can be trusted, Ralph?" Those were the first words that rolled out of Edwin's mouth."I have observed him for a few days, my lord. And I can now boldly tell you that he is now a changed man," Ralph said, boldly vouching for Miles."I really do know that you are right, Ralph." Edwin muttered, almost inaudibly. "I really hope so because, if not, we will be putting everything that we have managed to gather to risk. Our lives and loved ones included," "I assure you, my lord, but I will also make sure to do my own findings and confirm that he has told me nothing but the truth." He assured Edwin."The ball is in your court now, my friend." Edwin said, sounding uninterested in Miles. " But if he is telling the truth, what do you think?" "I think that Miles was telling the truth considering the fact that clearing his house is the best he could do for himself at the moment," Ra

    The council hall's side chamber was not often used as it was too small for full gatherings and too quiet for formal decrees. But that evening, Edwin had deliberately chosen it for his secret meeting. The inside of the chamber was lit with a handful of lanterns. A thick silence hung in the air as three trusted Elders sat around the circular table: Elder Xavier, Elder Eric, and Elder Nena. These people were a rare and neutral voice respected by both Edwin and Garrett's sides.Edwin sat at the head of the table, waiting for the right moment to begin the meeting. Behind him, Ralph stood guard beside the door, taking guard and cover. Edwin was being extremely careful as he knew that Garrett might have caught a wind of him having meetings with other members of the council in his absence.In a seat not too far from the wall sat Marah. Her eyes were downcast but steady and Ralph felt something for her, pity.Her face was pale, but there was a flicker of something new in her expression. It di

    The wind was sharper the second time Edwin arrived at the edge of the Scarlet Pack's territory, but it did not stop him from riding straight to the old and quiet cottage nestled between the trees. The scent of sage, vegetation, and cedar still lingered in the air, calm and haunting, just like the

    Edwin stood frozen, his voice became barely audible as he stepped closer to the Seer. His eyes were filled with a mixture of desperation and confusion. They were locked on Tiara, still unable to fully grasp the weight of the moment."I... I need your help," he began with, his voice slightly crackin

    Vanessa paced on the rooftop of the Alpha's quarters. Her perfectly manicured nails kept digging and scratching her palms.Edwin had been gone for three days, three days that felt like an eternity to her..“He should have returned by now,” she muttered, gluing her eyes on the road that disappeared

    The Scarlet Pack was way quieter and peaceful than Edwin had expected.Situated between hills of crimson-streaked rocks and evergreen trees, the settlement felt strangely reverent as if even the wind knew to move carefully.The Seer’s dwelling was not grand like he had envisioned and thought of it.
