The sun rose bloody over the hills.

Mira crouched near a shallow creek, rinsing the blood from her hands. Her reflection in the water shimmered, unfamiliar. Her face was the same, but her eyes, no longer hollow.

Now, they burned.

Behind her, Grey kept watch as Liam helped their father settle against a tree trunk. The man looked barely conscious, but alive. Mira couldn’t stop glancing at him, torn between relief and dread.

“You did it,” Liam murmured. “You broke the chains.”

“No,” Mira said softly. “The pendant did. Our mother’s magic.”

Grey stepped closer, his eyes flicking to the healing wound on her side. “You need stitches.”

“I’ll heal.”

“Still. Sit.”

She did.

Grey knelt in front of her, pulling gauze and antiseptic from his kit. As he cleaned the wound, she hissed but didn’t flinch.

“How are you not panicking right now?” she asked him.

“You mean after watching you transform into the most powerful wolf I’ve ever seen?”

She smirked faintly.

He wrapped her side carefully. “I’m panick

  • The Luna Surgeon    Chapter Twenty-Four – The Third Voice

    The new howl sent a tremor through the stones, lower than any Mira had heard before, it was ancient, heavy, almost... intelligent. This wasn't the wild hunger of L-20 or the cold calculation of L-22. This was something older.Mira tightened her grip on Echo and Seventeen. “Everyone move. Now.”Ash scanned the crimson-lit ruins, his voice tense. “We don’t know what’s coming.”Grey moved beside Mira, his voice steady but low. “And we’re not going to wait to find out.”Behind them, L-20 snarled, its body convulsing in spasms of uncontrolled mutation. Sparks of corrupted magic danced across its flesh as if its own unstable creation was beginning to reject itself.But L-22 stood motionless, her silver eyes tracking Mira’s every move. “Running will not save you. None of you were meant to survive this long.”Mira’s wolf raged beneath her skin. “Yet here we are.”With a signal nod, the group bolted into the southern tree line, dodging between ancient roots and fallen branches. The map pulsed

  • The Luna Surgeon    Chapter Twenty-Three – The Awakening of L-20

    The howl still echoed long after the fog swallowed its source.Mira stood frozen in the circle of stones, feeling the vibration in her bones. Not just a wolf’s call but something older. Twisted. Hungry.Echo clung to her side, eyes wide. “That wasn’t her,” she whispered. “It was worse.”Ash nodded grimly. “L-20… another prototype. They weren’t all built like you, Mira. Some were pure aggression.”Grey scanned the shifting tree line, voice low. “If L-22 is precision, L-20 is chaos.”“They’re releasing them in pairs,” Liam said, fists tightening. “One to hunt. One to destroy.”The wind shifted, carrying the stench of scorched fur and blood. The trees groaned like something massive moved between them.“We can’t fight them both,” Grey muttered.“We’re not here to fight them,” Mira said. “We’re here to find the others.”Ash frowned. “If they haven’t already been wiped out.”The ground trembled again, then a low, rhythmic thud. Footsteps. Heavy. Unnatural.Mira glanced at the map. The next

  • The Luna Surgeon    Chapter Twenty-Two – The Map of Thirteen

    The fire behind Mira crackled like it had teeth.Outside, something moved; silent and calculating. Luna-22 wasn’t bluffing. She was close. Watching.But Mira didn’t flinch.Instead, she looked at the map again, fingers tracing the thirteen marks her mother had inked long before any of this began.Resonants.Grey stepped beside her, eyes never leaving the shadows outside the cabin.“What are they?” he asked quietly.Mira swallowed. “Echoes of bloodlines. Wolves like me. Maybe not full copies but touched by the same fire. Hybrids. Survivors.”Liam looked up from where he knelt by the flare launcher. “You think they’re allies?”“No,” Ash answered from the wall. “I think they’re questions the Circle never solved. That’s why they buried them.”A shudder ran through the cabin walls. Not from wind.From weight.Luna-22 was still up there.“Do we fight or flee?” Grey asked.Mira shook her head. “We don’t do either. We move. South. To the first mark.”Echo clutched Mira’s coat. “She said if I

  • The Luna Surgeon    Chapter Twenty-One – The Original Must Fall

    Ash dragged the hatch closed just as the mountainside caved in behind them.Dust billowed. Metal screamed.Vault Three was gone.Mira stood at the ridge, blood still pounding in her ears. Echo clung to her leg, eyes wide, her breath shallow. Behind them, Grey helped Liam limp up the rocks, both battered and smoke-streaked.But Mira didn’t move.She couldn’t.Because somewhere in the wreckage below, Luna-22 had vanished. Not dead. Not even wounded. Just gone.“They didn’t wake her,” Mira murmured. “They unleashed her.”Ash coughed behind her. “We underestimated how far the Circle was willing to go. L-22 wasn’t just an upgrade. She was the failsafe.”Grey stepped beside Mira. “Then we find her. And end this.”“No,” Mira said. Her voice was quiet but solid. “We don’t find her.”Everyone turned.“She’ll find me.”A silence fell. Then Echo tugged at her hand. “What does she want?”Mira looked down at the girl who bore her blood, her fear, her hope.“She wants to be the only version of me t

  • The Luna Surgeon    Chapter Twenty – Echoes of the Vault

    The door sealed shut behind them with a hiss.Vault Three wasn’t just underground—it was beneath something ancient. Mira could feel it in her bones. Every step echoed like they were walking through the veins of a sleeping giant.Cold lights flickered to life overhead, buzzing with energy that hadn’t pulsed in years.Grey moved ahead, blade drawn.Liam scanned the walls, thick with frost and symbols etched in a language even Mira’s wolf didn’t recognize.Ash stayed close to Echo, whose expression had gone blank.“She’s remembering,” Ash said. “This place was imprinted into her core.”Echo raised a hand, fingers brushing the wall like she was touching a memory.“There was a woman,” she whispered. “White coat. White eyes. She never blinked.”Mira felt the chill deepen.They passed rows of empty glass tanks, cracked, drained, abandoned. Some still had claw marks inside.One had blood that hadn’t dried.Liam swore softly. “They raised them like weapons.”“No,” Ash said. “They manufactured

    The replacements moved like shadows made of steel.Not quite wolves. Not quite machines. Not human.Their armor clinked with each calculated step, coated in matte black, no insignias. Their faces were hidden beneath seamless masks with no eye slits, just a single glowing ring at the center, white-hot and unblinking.Echo clung to Mira’s side, trembling. “They’re the ones that watched us. When we were sleeping.”Mira stepped in front of her. “Stay behind me.”Ash’s voice was low and urgent. “They're Echo Operatives. Late-series models. Pure command-level.”“How many?” Grey asked, blades drawn.“Does it matter?” Liam growled. “They bleed, they fall.”“No,” Ash said, backing slowly. “They don’t bleed.”The five replacements stopped in perfect formation, then split. Two flanked wide, one stepped directly forward, and the other two disappeared into the trees without a sound.“They’re circling us,” Mira muttered. “Trying to box us in.”She looked at Ash. “What are their directives?”“To ret
