Vespera's POV

The dead rose again.

Not one scout this time. Not two. An entire patrol. Twelve warriors who had been killed in the northern village, their bodies drained of life, now walking toward Shadowfall Keep with empty eyes and outstretched hands.

"Sound the alarm!" Rhydian shouted.

The pack mobilized. Warriors poured from the keep, their swords drawn, their faces pale with fear. But how do you fight an enemy who is already dead? How do you kill something that cannot die?

  • The Pack Wanted A Bride, The Moon Wanted Revenge.    The Long Road Home

    Vespera's POVThe road home was longer than I remembered.We rode slowly, the weight of our victory pressing down on us. The breach was sealed. The corruption was stopped. But the cost had been high. Too high. We had lost good warriors. Good friends. And I had almost lost myself."You are quiet," Rhydian said, riding beside me."I am tired.""I know." He reached for my hand, squeezing it. "But we did it. We saved everyone.""Did we?" I looked at him, at the exhaustion in his eyes. "How many did we lose?"He was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Twelve. Maybe more. We are still counting."I closed my eyes. Twelve lives. Twelve families destroyed. Twelve souls lost because of me."This is my fault.""No." His voice was sharp. "This is not your fault. The Wraith King did this. Not you.""I should have been faster. Stronger. Better.""You are the strongest person I have ever known. You saved us. You saved everyone."I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe that I had done enough. Bu

  • The Pack Wanted A Bride, The Moon Wanted Revenge.    The Breach

    Vespera's POVThe world exploded.Light and darkness clashed around me, a battle of forces older than time itself. I felt the breach pulling at me, trying to consume me, trying to drag me into the void. But I held on. I held on to the light inside me. I held on to the love of my family. I held on to hope."You cannot seal me," a voice whispered. The Wraith King's voice. "I am eternal. I am endless. I am the darkness that lives in every heart.""You are nothing," I gritted out. "You are a memory. A nightmare. And nightmares end."I pushed harder, channeling everything I had into the breach. The light surged, wrapping around the tear in the world, trying to close it. But it was not enough. The breach was too strong. Too old. Too powerful."Vespera!" Rhydian's voice cut through the chaos. He was beside me, his hand on my shoulder. "Let me help.""No. It will consume you.""I do not care. I will not let you do this alone."He reached for the light, channeling his own power into the breach

  • The Pack Wanted A Bride, The Moon Wanted Revenge.   The Silent Village

    Vespera's POVThe village was not the only one.We rode for hours, following the trail of destruction. Three more settlements. Three more graveyards. The same pattern. The same empty eyes. The same pale skin. Something was draining the life from our people, and it was moving fast."We need to find out what this is," Rhydian said, his voice tight. "Before it reaches the keep.""We will." I urged my horse faster. "But first, we need to get back. We need to warn the pack. We need to prepare."We rode through the night, the darkness pressing in around us. The moon was hidden behind clouds, and the only light came from the torches we carried. Every shadow seemed to move. Every sound seemed to be a threat.And then, we saw it.A figure. Standing at the edge of the road. Pale. Still. Watching.I pulled my horse to a stop, my hand on my dagger. "Who goes there?"The figure did not answer. It simply stood there, its empty eyes fixed on us."Vespera," Rhydian whispered. "Get back.""No." I dism

  • The Pack Wanted A Bride, The Moon Wanted Revenge.   The Awakening

    Vespera's POVThe warmth in my chest grew stronger.I sat in the silence of the early morning, Rhydian still asleep beside me, and I focused on that flicker of life inside me. My wolf. She was there. Faint. Distant. But there."Come back to me," I whispered. "Please. Come back to me."I felt her stir. A flicker of recognition. A whisper of warmth. She was trying to reach me, just as I was trying to reach her. But something was holding her back. Something was keeping her from fully waking.I needed help.I dressed quickly and made my way to Tressa's hut. The old seer was already awake, sitting by the fire, her ancient eyes fixed on the flames."You felt her," Tressa said before I could speak."Yes. She is still there. Inside me. But she is sleeping. I cannot wake her."Tressa nodded slowly. "The Wraith King's darkness wounded her deeply. She retreated to the deepest part of your soul to heal. She is not gone, but she is weak.""How do I wake her?""You must enter the spirit realm again

  • The Pack Wanted A Bride, The Moon Wanted Revenge.   The Wounds That Remain

    Vespera's POVI could not shift.The realization hit me three days after I destroyed the Wraith King. I had been resting, recovering, letting my body heal from the ordeal. But when I tried to shift, to let my wolf rise, there was nothing.Just silence. Just emptiness."No," I whispered, trying again. "No, no, no."But my wolf did not answer. She was gone. Lost somewhere in the darkness I had barely escaped.Rhydian found me on the floor of our chambers, trembling, tears streaming down my face."What happened?" He knelt beside me, his hands on my shoulders. "Vespera, what is wrong?""My wolf. She is gone."He stared at me, his face pale. "What do you mean?""I cannot shift. I cannot feel her. She is gone."He pulled me into his arms, holding me tight. "We will find a way to bring her back.""How? I have lost her before, and I found her again. But this time... this time feels different.""We will find a way. We always do."I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe that everything wou
