Nyra’s boots echoed on the marble floor as she stormed from the Council chamber, her cloak billowing behind her. Outside, the torchlight danced on the stained-glass windows, casting fractured rainbows across the empty corridor. Every footstep pounded against her heart, still reeling from the news: Kaelia’s own sister, Maris, had been found among the cultists devoted to Iris.

Selene fell into step beside her, concern in her moonlit eyes. “This cuts deeper than any betrayal we’ve known,” she murmured. “Family… how do you fight that?”

Nyra clenched her fists. “You don’t. You survive it.” She pushed open the heavy oak doors to Kaelia’s solar. Inside, Kaelia stood before her desk, trembling as she confronted Maris’s empty seat.

“My sister,” Kaelia whispered, voice cracking. “She was my blood… my blood.”

Nyra stalked forward. “Then we’ll hunt her, root and branch, until she stands before us. You’re not alone in this.”

Kaelia raised her head, eyes rimmed with tears. “She always stood in my s

    Nyra stood at the window of her private solar, watching the moon drift behind slow-moving clouds. The morning’s plan to descend into Fate’s cradle lay heavy on her mind, yet in the night’s quiet she found herself drawn back to one place: the ancient Moon Chamber.Selene appeared at her side, silent as a shadow. Her dark hair caught the pale light; her eyes were soft. In the tense days since Maris’s betrayal, Selene had been Nyra’s anchor.“Are you determined?” Selene asked, voice low.Nyra closed her eyes. “I must face my fate. But… I am afraid.”Selene slipped an arm around her waist. “We will face it together.”A memory flickered across Nyra’s mind, the night they first touched in that very chamber, when passion had bloomed like moonflowers in darkness. It had been terrifying and freeing. Their bond had given them strength.Nyra turned, meeting Selene’s gaze. “Tonight, I need more than courage.”“I know,” Selene said, stepping close enough that Nyra could feel her breath. “Come with

    Chapter 1: The Mark of RejectionThe moon hung heavy in the sky, casting a pale silver sheen over the Midnight Howl Pack’s sacred grounds. Tonight was supposed to be a celebration. Selene's twenty-first birthday, the age when a wolf finally senses their fated mate. She stood at the heart of the moonlit glade, wrapped in a gown the color of raven feathers, embroidered with silver threads that shimmered like stardust. Her long obsidian hair flowed down her back in soft waves, catching the light of the full moon. Her striking violet eyes, unusual even among wolves, gleamed with excitement, hope, and the unspoken longing she had buried deep for years.She wasn’t just beautiful! She was ethereal.Around her, the pack gathered, their murmurs a quiet hum of reverence and anticipation. Alpha daughter. Warrior. Future Luna. Selene had earned every ounce of respect, not because of her title, but because of the blood she’d spilled for them; wolves and rogues alike. She’d trained harder, fought f

    Chapter 2: The Awakening PowerThe forest was quieter than usual.Selene sat on the edge of the cliff, wind whipping through her obsidian hair as dawn bled across the sky in hues of crimson and gold. Her bare feet dangled over the rocky ledge, toes curling with tension. Below, the forest stretched endlessly, mist crawling between the trees like a living thing. The silence here should’ve calmed her.But instead, it screamed.Ever since the night under the moon—the surge of power, the vision, the glowing eyes—something had shifted inside her. Her wolf, once fierce but steady, now growled with something darker. Wilder. Hungrier.Selene flexed her fingers and watched as faint trails of silver shimmered beneath her skin, like moonlight trapped in her veins.What the hell is happening to me?"Found you."The voice came from behind her, gruff, familiar.Selene didn’t need to turn to know it was Thorne, her beta. The one man who had stood by her side through every battle, every victory and lo

    The night he appeared, the moon hid behind a shroud of clouds, as if even the heavens didn’t dare watch what came crawling out of the shadows.Selene stood at the edge of the Eastern River, her fingers curled tight around a blade she’d strapped beneath her cloak. She had felt it again.That pull, like a thread in her chest tightening, an instinct beyond instinct. Something was coming.Or someone.Water lapped softly at the shore, but the forest was still. Too still.Then, she heard it. A twig snapping. Purposeful. Heavy.She spun on her heel just in time to see him step out from the trees.He moved like a beast that knew how to be a man.Tall. Broad. Soaked from the waist down. His shirt clung to his body, revealing a trail of battle-scarred muscle and a slow, predatory grace that sent her wolf snarling to the surface.But what caught her attention, what truly froze her, were his eyes.Silver. Pale and electric. Unlike any wolf she’d ever seen. Not feral, not wild. Controlled chaos. Be

    The courtyard reeked of blood and ash.Selene stood on the highest balcony of the Alpha Hall, her cloak whipping in the midnight wind. Below her, warriors scrambled, dragging away the charred remains of the creature Ryker called a harbinger.It had appeared as a blur of smoke and claw ; silent, swift, and dripping with shadow. Three sentries had died before they even knew what hit them.And Ryker had killed it.He’d broken his chains, shifted mid-air into a black-furred beast with glowing silver eyes, and torn the harbinger in half with a single bite.The pack had seen it. They had all seen it.And for the first time, Selene wasn’t the one they looked to for power.They looked at him.She stormed into the war room, eyes blazing. Ryker was there, shirtless, wounded, wiping blood off his jaw with a rag. His skin gleamed with sweat and moonlight, the sight of him infuriatingly distracting.“You shifted inside my estate,” she hissed.“You’re welcome,” he said without looking up.“You brok

    The pain hadn’t stopped.Selene gritted her teeth as the carriage bounced over rocky terrain. The dagger wound from Thorne's betrayal pulsed with heat, the wolfsbane coursing through her veins like liquid fire. Every heartbeat was a reminder: she was betrayed by the one she trusted most.Ryker sat across from her, arms crossed, watching her with unreadable eyes. The moon cast slivers of silver through the window, illuminating her pale skin and bloodstained bandages.“You should rest,” he said.“I don’t need rest,” she snapped.“You’ve been stabbed, Luna.”“I’m aware,” she growled.Silence stretched between them. Tense. Crackling. Until he leaned forward.“You need to know what’s coming,” Ryker said. “Thorne wasn’t acting alone. The Ironhide Pack has found something..an artifact. Ancient. Tied to your bloodline.”Selene’s heart skipped. “My bloodline?”He nodded. “You’ve heard the stories, haven’t you? About the Moonborn?”She narrowed her eyes. “Stories meant to scare pups around a ca

    The fortress had never felt so suffocating.Selene paced the edge of her chambers, the cool stone beneath her feet doing little to tame the heat rising in her blood. Her body ached..not from pain, but something far more maddening.Something primal.The magic she unearthed in the Moonborn vault hadn’t quieted. It pulsed beneath her skin, humming in her veins, a rhythm that matched the thundering pull of her wolf. Every night since, she’d felt... hunted by her own instincts.And the worst part?They all led her to Ryker.He was everywhere.His scent ;dark pine, steel, and danger lingered in her halls. His presence stalked her every move. His eyes, when they met hers, made her feel like the only prey in a forest full of predators.He hadn’t touched her.Not since the night she bled.Not since the night she saw him look at her like she was something sacred. And something he wanted to destroy.She hated it. Hated that she wanted him, too.Worse, that she needed to feel something other than

    The moment the child’s scream died out, Selene knew something had changed.It was like the world had shifted. A piece of her... the one she’d been holding together with sheer will...cracked.She stood over the blood-written threat on the nursery wall, her chest rising and falling with uneven breaths. Ryker touched her shoulder gently, but even his warmth couldn’t reach her.Her past was clawing its way back through the doors she had sealed long ago.And this time… it wouldn’t be quiet.By morning, the fortress had been swept for intruders. The child was safe, but no one slept.Selene stood in her war room, listening as council members debated what had happened. Beside her, Ryker said nothing. He hadn’t left her side since the night before,but he hadn’t touched her again either.As the elders argued, a voice broke through the noise.“Selene.”It was soft. Familiar.Cassian.Her fated mate.She hadn’t seen him in weeks, not since he’d rejected her in front of the pack, ripping her heart

    The morning air carried an uneasy hush across Emberstone’s rising spires and burnished courtyards. News of the rift’s sealing had spread like wildfire, yet beneath celebration lurked tension,whispers of unrest in distant provinces, of cult cells mobilizing under Iris’s banner.Selene stood atop the eastern battlements, her ebony hair braided with silver threads, storm-gray eyes scanning the misted valley below. At her side, Ryker, sword sheathed, cloak drawn against the chill, studied a fragment of parchment.“It’s from the masked envoy,” he said softly. “He scrawled rumors of a secret conclave gathering at dusk, north of the Emberwood.”Selene folded her arms. “Then we move tonight. I’ll not let Iris’s cult grow in the dark.”Ryker nodded. “I’ll ready the horses.”Below them, Kaelia oversaw the warding of the southern gate, inscribing runes of moonlight and ash. She paused, fingers trembling as a stray gust flickered the glyphs. She cast a worried glance skyward.Night fell in a cloa

  • The Lunar Queen's Redemption    CHAPTER 101: " Embers of Rebellion"

    Mist curled through the spires of Emberstone Keep as dawn bled across the eastern sky. Nyra stood atop the Weeping Terrace, cloak drawn tight against the wind’s chill. Below her, the newly rebuilt courtyard shimmered, obsidian mosaic tiles glinting like embers in the low light.“Ryker,” she called, voice carrying across the terrace. He emerged from the mist, sword still sheathed but eyes alight with vigilance.“I heard whispers,” he said, stepping beside her. “The border provinces stir. Rumors of unrest.”Nyra nodded. “We have forged a fragile peace. Now we must tend its coals before they die.”A horn sounded from below. More urgent than ceremonial. Nyra drew her cloak around her shoulders and descended the spiral stairs, Ryker at her side.In the Hall of Flames, a great circular chamber carved from volcanic rock, seats of moonwood and prism-glass circled the central dais. Around them waited the Circle of Free Sovereigns:Selene, High Starmarshal of the Moonborn GuardKaelia, Keeper o

    The dawn sky was an unnatural tapestry of ash-gray and blood-red, no sun would rise again. Instead, a searing corona of living flame crowned the horizon, heralding the Eternal Queen’s rule.Nyra stood atop the scorched ramparts of the Bloodforge Keep, her dual circlet of ash and ember still pulsed against her brow. Behind her, Selene knelt at the side of the great cradle, an obsidian throne carved for a child, wrought in bone and rune. The twins, now five summers old and quick beyond belief, clung to their mother’s skirts, eyes bright with fear and wonder.Around them, the outcasts and allies of every realm gathered in reverent silence. Fendrel Windrider stood watch, his storm-gray eyes glinted with both pride and sorrow. Kharon Boneclaw’s fur bristled in the dawn wind, his horns caught the flaming light like molten metal. Seraphiel Dawnstar hovered above, wings folded, golden feathers drifting like dying sunbeams. Ryker and Caelum formed a silent guard, their blades stained with coun

    A week of storm-wrought skies had passed since the Black Ember ritual. The Mirror Reborn’s banner, broken mirror over twin moons, now flew above an encampment in the ruins of the Sunless Spire. Exiles and outcasts from every realm; rogues, shifters, fallen angels, demon-spawn, mustered beneath it. Their queen had proven her power: Ash and Shadow, Fire and Death.But tonight, despair flickered on lips.Nyra stood atop the shattered altar, holding the raven’s bloodstained letter. Ink of iron-red spelled a single sentence in her twin’s hand:“Come to the Bloodforge Keep or lose everything... your daughters, your lovers, your soul.”She crushed the parchment, letting crimson flakes drift away. Around her, Selene clasped Ryker’s hand, Caelum and Kaelia exchanged grim smiles.Selene’s storm-gray gaze met Nyra’s silver-gold. “This is the final summons.”Ryker knelt, head bowed. “We go together, or we fall apart.”Caelum’s voice was steel. “No power left unclaimed.”Kaelia drew the twins clos

  • The Lunar Queen's Redemption    CHAPTER 98 : " Fresh and Flame "

    A week had passed since the Mirror Reborn and her followers left the shrine. Their banner, broken mirror over twin moons, flapped in every wind. They’d recruited outcasts and exiles from border villages; their ranks swelled with warriors once loyal to no king.But another summons echoed across the wild lands, this one darker.From the scorched fields of Volkrash, where ash rained from permanent ember skies, came two riders, black-cloaked envoys bearing an ebony scroll. They advanced upon the Mirror Reborn’s camp, where she and her companions rested in the ruins of a fire-forged fortress.Nyra sat at the campfire’s edge, twins cooing in Kaelia’s lap, Ryker sharpened his blade; Caelum inspected recruits; Selene meditated beneath broken battlements.A rider knelt before Nyra, eyes hidden beneath cowl. They presented the ebony scroll sealed by scarlet wax bearing the symbol of the Fire King: a crown of molten rock.Nyra lifted a brow. “Read it.”The rider’s voice was low and rasping. “Que

    Night lingered with a violet bruise across the sky as Nyra Duskbane and her small company fled through the Wild Lands of Ebonreach. The air smelled of iron and ash ; grasses shivered with silver dew under a dying moon.Nyra rode at the front, her daughters cradled against her chest, their soft breaths warm on her shoulder. Kaelia led the twins on a second mare ; Caelum and Ryker flanked each side like sentinels of storm and ruin. Selene walked behind, cloak billowing, eyes storm-gray as distant lightning.They were fugitives now, hunted by every army they had once commanded, chased by prophecies that branded them as outcasts. Each night they pressed farther from the Citadel ; each dawn brought new dangers—bandits, elementals, warlords who demanded tribute or blood.Tonight, Nyra paused beside an obsidian shrine, pillars carved with ancient runes of warding. She dismounted, daughters in arms, and sank to her knees on jagged stones.“This shrine,” she murmured, fingertips tracing the ru

    Nyra Duskbane stood at the shattered threshold of every realm’s final gate, her daughter cradled in one arm, twins held tight by Kaelia. Behind her, Ryker and Caelum knelt amid cracked cobblestones, eyes downcast. Above, the Sacrificial Moon had waned to a thin sliver, and the sky bled dawn’s first light.They had refused the prophecy’s demand and spared the Daughter of Ash. Now, the realms had spoken: Nyra was anathema, her bloodline tainted by defiance.A chorus of trumpets sounded from the heavens. Angelic wings beat in chilling unison; the Celestial Host formed ranks along the ramparts. At the Citadel’s peak, Celena the Oracle-Mistress raised her staff, its blood-red gem dull for the first time since the Sacrificial Moon began.“Queen Nyra,” she intoned, voice resonant as cracked marble; “you have shattered the covenant. By the ancient laws, you are exiled from all seven realms. Your kingdom falls; your throne is no more.”Nyra’s heart hammered. She tightened her grip on her daugh
