(Charlie)

The jeep tires crunch on the gravel of the Silverwood driveway, a sound that usually signals safety. Today, it feels like the closing of a cell door.

Rohan is out before the engine cuts, circling the vehicle to pull me into his arms. He holds me like I’m made of glass, his grip tight and desperate.

"I’ve got you," he murmurs into my hair, carrying me up the stairs. "You’re safe now. I promise."

I rest my head against his chest, but I don’t feel safe.

I feel covered in grime and the dried blood of the man I’m still in love with.

My knees are still shaking from the adrenaline crash, and my mind is a broken record replaying Kaleb’s face on that road.

I just wanted to make sure you were safe.

"Get Elara!" Rohan bellows as we burst through the front door, his voice shaking the chandelier. "Now!"

He carries me straight toward the stairs, bypassing the main hall.

"I’m taking you to your room. We’ll lock it down. No one gets in or out."

"No," I croak, my throat raw. "Take me to Elar

  • The Moon Chose Me Twice   Chapter 80 Epilogue

    CharlieThe sun sets differently over the mountains now.Six months ago, I nearly watched the sun die. I saw it swallowed by a black disc, turning the world into a cold, purple twilight that smelled of rot and end-times.But tonight the sunset is a riot of tangerine and bruised gold, painting the snow-capped peaks of the Northern Territory in fire. It’s vibrant. It’s loud. It’s unapologetically alive.I stand on the balcony of the Alpha Suite at Bloodmoon, leaning against the stone railing. The air is crisp, carrying the scent of pine and the distant smoke of a bonfire down in the village.Below me, the pack is gathering.It’s the Summer Solstice festival. The first joint celebration between Silverwood and Bloodmoon.For generations, our packs were neighbors, then rivals, then unwilling allies. Now, looking down at the courtyard, I can’t tell where one pack ends and the other begins.I see Silverwood rangers sharing kegs with Bloodmoon enforcers. I see pups from both territories chasi

  • The Moon Chose Me Twice   Chapter 79 Forever

    KalebThe bed is vast, a sea of cool, white linen, but all I see is her.Charlie lies beneath me, her dark hair fanned out like a halo against the pillows, her skin flushed pink from the heat of the shower and the orgasm I just tore from her.She is battered. There are bruises blooming like dark violets across her ribs, a bandage wrapping her wrist, and cuts scoring her beautiful skin.She looks like a ruin. She looks like a masterpiece."Kaleb," she whispers, her voice husky, her eyes half-lidded and heavy with desire.I brace my weight on my forearms, caging her, careful not to press down on her injured chest. My heart is hammering against my ribs, a frantic rhythm that hasn't slowed since I saw her standing in the dust of the ravine.For days, I’ve been a soldier. A weapon. I’ve been running on cold rage and tactical necessity. But here, in the quiet dark of this room, the soldier dies.The wolf takes over."I need to see you," I growl, my voice vibrating in my chest. "All of you."

  • The Moon Chose Me Twice   Chapter 78 Decompression

    CharlieThe transition from War to Peace isn't a switch, it’s a crash.One minute, I’m standing on the steps of the manor, the weight of the silver pin in my hand and the roar of the pack in my ears. The next, the adrenaline evaporates, leaving my knees shaking and my vision swimming at the edges."Clear the courtyard," Kaleb’s voice cuts through the noise.It’s the Alpha command, low, resonant, and leaving no room for argument. "The Alpha needs rest. Valerius, secure the perimeter. Aris, take care of Orion."He doesn't ask me before he scoops me up. One arm under my knees, the other around my back, mindful of my splinted wrist and bruised ribs.I don't protest. I bury my face in the crook of his neck, inhaling the scent of him. Grateful that he didn’t make me admit that I need help."I can walk," I mumble, though my head is spinning."I know you can," Kaleb rumbles, carrying me through the double doors. "But you’re not going to."He carries me through the house. We pass wolves who bo

  • The Moon Chose Me Twice   Chapter 77 The Return

    CharlieThe silence of the ravine is different now. It isn't the heavy, suffocating silence of the Void. It’s the peaceful, chirping silence of a forest exhaling after a storm.I sit on the bumper of Hollen’s pickup truck, a medic from the support team wrapping my ribs. The adrenaline has crashed, leaving me trembling and hollowed out, but buoyed by relief."They’re surrendering," Hollen says, walking over from the ridge.He looks like hell, soot-stained and limping, but he’s grinning."Ironclaw comms are lighting up. Without Ryker or her they have no leadership. They’re laying down arms at the main gate.""Let them go," I say, leaning my head back against the metal. "Get them off our land. If they come back, we kill them. But today... I’m done with death."Kaleb is sitting next to me. He’s refusing medical attention until everyone else is checked. Typical hero-complex behavior.He has a nasty gash on his forehead and he’s bleeding from a hundred small lacerations, but he’s miraculous

  • The Moon Chose Me Twice   Chapter 76 Severed

    CharlieThe world doesn't end with a bang. It ends with a fracture.I see the muzzle flash from under the truck. A tiny, insignificant spark against the overwhelming darkness of the Void.Then, reality snaps.The explosion isn't fire. It’s a concussion of pure force. The shaped charge Hollen rigged punches straight up, tearing through the chassis, the cargo bay floor, and into the heart of the Void Stone.The sound that follows is the shriek of a dying star.A shockwave of black energy ripples outward the moment the stone cracks, flattening the trees, shattering the rocks, and lifting me off my feet.I’m thrown backward, hitting the dirt hard, the air driven from my lungs.Debris rains down in shards of twisted metal, clods of earth, and fragments of the Stone itself, dissolving into smoke before they hit the ground.I scramble to my knees, coughing, wiping grit from my eyes."Kaleb!" I scream, looking at the smoking crater where the truck used to be.There’s no sign of him. Just a tw

  • The Moon Chose Me Twice   Chapter 75 The Invitation

    Kaleb"Now!" Charlie screams, the sound tearing through the unnatural silence of the ravine.I don't hesitate. I lift my hand, signaling the ridge where Hollen is waiting.I hear the sound. It’s a small, mechanical sound from Hollen’s position, amplified by the strange acoustics of the vacuum. The relay switch on the detonator.I brace for the boom. I brace for the fire that will consume the truck, the Stone, and the monster wearing Eveline’s face.Nothing happens.The C4 strapped to the undercarriage of the truck remains silent. The red LED on the receiver unit isn't blinking. It’s dead."No," Hollen’s voice crackles over the radio, panic bleeding into his tone. "It’s not firing! The signal is dead. The Stone... it’s jamming the frequency!"Eveline laughs.She doesn't turn around. She keeps her hands pressed to the hood of the truck, her back arching as the shadows pour out of her."Did you really think a radio wave could penetrate the Void?" she mocks, her voice echoing from everywh
