ログインIn Garrett's mind, the battle would not only be fought with swords and claws but instead, with shadows and betrayals, right inside Edwin's own walls. With the walls tearing down on their own.
The courtyard of the Dark Moon Pack roared with energy. Warriors sharpened their blades, wolf howls echoed across the ground, and the air was thick with the scent of iron and resolve.
From the high terrace overlooking them, Edwin stood in full battle armor, his p
The mountains echoed with the roar of wolves.Dark Moon's army charged forward, the clash of steel and snarl of beasts filling the air.At first, it seemed like victory. Bloodfang's outer lines were weak, retreating quickly.Edwin pressed the advance, cutting through their ranks like fire through dry leaves.Then the ground shook.From the cliffs above, hidden catapults unleashed volleys of flaming boulders.The sky exploded in light and heat.Before anyone could react, Bloodfang soldiers poured out from behind the cliffs, surrounding the Dark Moon forces from all sides."AMBUSH!" Ralph's voice, from the rear was drowned by the chaos.Tiara turned her wolf form, eyes wide with horror. "He planned this!"And in the distance, atop the ridge, Aldric watched. Calm, arms crossed, a
The dawn broke cold and red, painting the mountains in streaks of scarlet.Below, in the valley of Bloodfang, thousands of soldiers assembled. A tide of fur, steel, and fury.The war drums began to thunder.Their rhythm rolled across the field like the heartbeat of the storm itself.Aldric stood atop the fortress balcony, looking down at his legion. Behind him, the wind tugged at his black cloak, and the banners of Bloodfang rippled in the rising light.Commander Varyn approached from behind, bowing deeply."The troops are ready, my lord. The mountain path scouts have confirmed that Dark Moon's forces are gathering. They'll begin their march before midday."Aldric smiled faintly. "Good. They're doing exactly as planned."Varyn hesitated. "Are you certain Ralph's betrayal will be enough to keep them blind
Now, in the present, Ralph leaned on the railing, the wind tearing at his cloak. He had tried to stop. He had tried to break free. But Aldric's messengers always found him, constantly reminding him that he was bounded to Aldric as a slave.And tomorrow's plan, the attack through the mountain pass, has already been sent to Bloodfang.He could not undo it, irrespective of how badly he wanted to. He closed his eyes, whispering to himself."I am deeply sorry, Edwin... I swear, I tried not to be a part of this downfall, but my hands are tied. "Behind him, footsteps echoed. Tiara's raven had landed on the railing, her letter still bound to its leg.He untied it, curious, and as he read the first lines, his blood ran cold."When the moon bleeds again, the one you trust most will lead you to the edge."He stared at the words for a long time, his
The wind howled through the mountain trails, sharp as blades and cold enough to slice through fur and bone.Tiara gripped the reins tighter, her wolf form pushing through the blizzard. Her mind screamed only one thought over and over again. She had to reach Edwin before dawn.The vision would not stop haunting her: Ralph standing beside Aldric, his eyes empty, his claws dripping with Edwin's blood.It was not just any type of vision, neither was it a warning. It was a prophecy.She had seen death in it. Edwin's death.Her heart thudded painfully against her chest as she leaped over a fallen tree, paws pounding against the snow. Every breath was a gasp of icy air, every stride fueled by desperation."Please, Moon Goddess," she whispered between gasps, "Do not let me be too late. Keep Edwin safe for me, and protect him from every arrow of de
Meanwhile, within the Dark Moon pack, Ralph made his way through the torch-lit corridor, unaware of the eyes watching him.A figure lingered in the shadows, a wolf cloaked in the color of night, carrying a parchment sealed in wax.The figure stepped out only when Ralph had turned the corner, moving swiftly toward the stables where a raven waited.The parchment bore Edwin's seal copied perfectly.It was a map.A map showing troop positions, supply routes, and the mountain pass Edwin intended to use for his first strike.The cloaked figure tied the map to the raven's leg, whispering softly:"Fly to Bloodfang. Deliver this to the Alpha."As the bird took flight, the figure exhaled deeply, a single tear tracing down their cheek.Because betrayal never came easy, especially when the traitor was someone
While the Alpha schemed in the storm, Tiara slept fitfully miles away, haunted by shadows.The fire in her chamber burned low, casting trembling light across her face. Her dreams came in fragments. They came like flashes of crimson, the scent of blood, the echo of wolves howling under a burning moon.Then, silence.A figure appeared in the fog before her. It was a woman, pale and ethereal, her eyes bright as starlight. Tiara knew that voice, though she had not heard it since childhood."My daughter," the voice whispered. "The moon shows what is coming.""Mother?" Tiara breathed, her voice trembling.Her mother reached out a hand that shimmered like mist."War comes again, Tiara. But this time, it will not be between packs. It will be between hearts, between vengeance and destiny.""You speak in par
The arena was dead silent.A training accident, they called it. It had happened that a rare spearhead had dislodged from the ceiling where it was hanged and it sank right into the little boy. No one expected it. No one could have stopped it.Except for one girl.The same girl they had mocked, ridi
Garrett sat at the long council table, pacing slowly behind his chair, awaiting the outcome of the trap that had been set for Tiara.A single candle flickered between the elders, casting stretched shadows across their weathered faces.“This matter with Tiara is growing out of hand,” Elder Leonard m
A few minutes later, Vanessa walked out of a place where Lena assumed to be her bathroom. She watched her as she took a seat before her. Dressed in a silky black robe. She crossed her arms, wearing an expectant expression ."And??" She coldly said.Lena immediately fell on her knees. Her face glued
The doors to the arena shut close with a heavy thud, and the lock slid into place. Only Edwin and Ralph remained inside. The fire burned with low intensity in the corner, casting jagged shadows across the walls. Neither of them said a word for a very long moment.Then Edwin finally broke the silenc
