The Luna With Ruin Chapter 20: The Hours Before
Three hours until sunset.Jasmina watched as families quietly left the packhouse. Children carried by their parents. Elderly helped by younger wolves. All heading toward the Outcast Lands under Dax's escort."How many evacuated?" she asked Theo."Forty-three so far. Mostly non-combatants." Theo checked his list. "That leaves about seventy warriors and elders who'll stay.""Seventy against Arlene and whatever magic she's prepared." Jasmina touched her stomach. The baby had been restless all day. "Are those good odds?""They're the only odds we have."Across the platform, Meredith worked on the final sections of her counter-ritual. Silver symbols covered the entire structure now. Beautiful and deadly."Two more hours," Meredith called out. "I need two more hours to finish.""You have one hour and forty-five minutes until sunset," Cassian said. He was helping her, channeling magic to speed the process. "Can you finish in time?""I'll have to."Damoew appeared beside Jasmina. He'd been me
The Luna With Ruin Chapter 19: The Manipulation
Arlene stood in her chambers, watching the mirror that tracked Cassian's location.She'd known he'd betrayed her the moment he broke Damoew's stasis spell. The tracking magic had alerted her instantly.But instead of anger, she felt satisfaction."Predictable," she murmured.They thought they were being clever. Sneaking back to the packhouse. Finding Hardy's body. Discovering the ritual circles.Let them find it all.She'd planned for this. Prepared for resistance. In fact, she was counting on it.The mirror showed Cassian standing near the memorial platform. Beside him, an old woman drew symbols in silver ash.Meredith Ashborn. The ancient witch who'd survived her mother's purge."A counter-ritual," Arlene said aloud. "How creative."She pulled out her mother's journal. Flipped to a marked page. Read the passage she'd memorized years ago.*"If the enemy prepares a counter-ritual, let them. It will consume their focus, their resources, their time. While they work to stop one plan, you
The Luna With Ruin Chapter 18: The Allies
Jetstar Clonstrong dropped his teacup when Damoew walked into his study.The cup shattered on the floor. Tea spread across the expensive rug."You're dead," Jetstar whispered."Clearly not." Damoew closed the door behind him. Lyanna and Jasmina flanked him. "We need to talk. Now.""This is impossible. I saw your body. We held the viewing." Jetstar stood, his hand moving toward the alarm bell on his desk."Touch that bell and fifty pack members die tonight," Lyanna said coldly.Jetstar's hand froze. "Lyanna? You're supposed to be...""Dead? Exiled? Pick your favorite lie." She moved forward. "But I'm very much alive. And we're here to stop a massacre.""What massacre? What are you talking about?"Damoew pulled out Jasmina's sketches. The ritual circles. The symbols of death and soul-trapping. He spread them across Jetstar's desk."Arlene Swinkstrong is actually Morgana Blackthorne. The Witch Queen's daughter. She's been planning genocide for sixteen years." Damoew's voice was steady. "
The Luna With Ruin Chapter 17: The Discovery
Pre-dawn light filtered through the trees as they returned to the memorial platform.Jasmina carried parchment and charcoal. They needed to document the ritual circles. Proof that even Jetstar couldn't ignore.Cassian would return with Meredith in a few hours. Until then, they had to gather evidence."How do we make the symbols visible?" Theo asked."Magic." Damoew knelt beside the platform edge. His strength was coming back faster now. Whatever the death stasis had done, his body was fighting through it. "Cassian showed us how last night. I think I can replicate it.""You're not strong enough for magic yet," Lyanna warned."I'm strong enough to try."He placed both hands on the stone. His eyes closed. Concentration lined his face.For a moment, nothing happened.Then faint light began seeping through cracks in the stone. Red at first, then darker. Purple-black like old blood.The ritual circles appeared. Dozens of them. Overlapping patterns that covered the entire platform."Goddess,
The Luna With Ruin Chapter 16: The Return
The servant tunnels smelled worse than Jasmina remembered.Mold. Decay. Something dead that had been there for weeks."Keep moving," Lyanna whispered ahead of her. "We're almost to the kitchen access."Damoew leaned heavily on Cassian. He was walking better now, but still weak. The death stasis had drained too much.They'd circled back through the forest, avoiding hunter patrols. Took them six hours to reach the packhouse tunnels without being spotted.Now they were underground again. Back where this all started.The tunnel opened into a storage room behind the kitchens. Theo was waiting, his face pale in the dim light."You actually came back," he said. "I thought you'd run.""We don't run anymore," Jasmina said. "What happened with Hardy?"Theo's expression darkened. "He went to confront Arlene this morning. Said he had proof she was the Witch Queen's daughter. That was eight hours ago. He never came back.""Where did he go?" Lyanna demanded."Her chambers. Above the library." Theo
The Luna With Ruin Chapter 15: The Alternative Plan
Arlene stood in her ritual chamber, surrounded by books that should never have been opened.The forbidden texts. The ones even her mother had been afraid to use. The mass sacrifice magic.She traced the symbols on the ancient pages. Fifty deaths. That's what the alternative ritual required. Fifty wolves killed simultaneously, their life force channeled directly into the vault seal.It wasn't elegant. It wasn't the original plan. But it would work.And tomorrow's memorial service would provide exactly fifty attendees."Are you sure about this?" Cassian's voice came through her communication mirror.Arlene didn't bother looking up. She knew that mirror showed an empty chamber. Cassian had betrayed her. Helped them steal Damoew's body.But she'd kept this mirror active anyway. Set a tracking spell on it. Wherever Cassian was, she'd know."I know you can hear me, traitor," she said calmly. "I know you're with them. Lyanna. Jasmina. My failed puppet."Static crackled through the mirror."D
