A Hard-Won Victory

Author: Elmielos
last update Last Updated: 2025-06-12 00:49:28

The days following the battle were a blur of activity and reflection. The camp buzzed with energy as we worked tirelessly to rebuild and strengthen our defenses. The victory over the Black Faes had bolstered our spirits, but the lingering sense of unease kept us on edge. We knew the darkness was not vanquished-it was merely regrouping, biding its time for another assault.

My son Eden and I spent hours together, training and refining our magic. His growth was remarkable, and I could see the leader he was becoming. His confidence shone through in every spell he cast, every decision he made. He was no longer just my son; he was a warrior, a protector of our people.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the camp, I called a meeting with my husband the Alpha King Jason and also Kael, and Isolde. We gathered around the central fire, the flames flickering against the growing darkness. "We need to be proactive," I began, my voice steady but filled with u

  • The Rejected Curvy Luna Queen    The Saplings' attack

    **Kelly's Perspective**The silence after the storm was worse than the screaming.Ash fell like gray snow, coating the scorched earth where the Hollowshriek had fallen. My hands-human again, but mapped with fresh scars-trembled as I knelt to retrieve the doll. Its button eyes were melted, one arm torn, straw stuffing leaking from the seams. The girl's terror lingered in the stitches, a whisper even the Voidmother couldn't steal.Kael limped to my side, his breath ragged. A gash ran down his flank, oozing dark blood that smelled of iron and something sharper, like burnt ozone. "She'll come for you," he said, voice low. "Breaking a pact with the Voidmother isn't something you walk away from."I tucked the doll into my belt. "Then let her come."But the woods had other plans.---We found the well at dusk.It wasn't marked on any map, its stones slick with moss and etched with symbols even Kael didn't recognize. A crow's skull perched on the rim, feathers threaded through its eye sockets

  • The Rejected Curvy Luna Queen    The debt

    **KELLY THOMPSON'S POV**The woods were too quiet. Even the wind seemed afraid to rustle the leaves here. I clenched my fists, feeling the strange energy beneath my skin-like a storm trapped in my veins. It had been weeks since the Voidmother brought me back, stitching my soul into this new body, but I still didn't recognize myself. My hands shimmered faintly, as if lightning lived under my nails, and every heartbeat echoed with a second, darker rhythm. The Voidmother called it a *gift*. To me, it felt like a curse.Jason's scent lingered in the air-pine needles and campfire smoke-but he was gone. He'd left before dawn, his footsteps silent. He thought I wouldn't notice. He was wrong. I noticed everything now. The way the pack avoided my gaze. The way Eden flinched when I reached for him. The way Rhydian's scars glowed brighter whenever I neared, as if warning him to stay away.I stepped into the Whispering Woods, the trees leaning back like wary sentries. Shadows slithered across the

  • The Rejected Curvy Luna Queen    The moon's rebirth

    **KELLY THOMPSON'S POV**The moon's rebirth was a lie.Its light, once pure and radiant, now flickered like a guttering candle, casting elongated shadows that slithered across the camp. The Eclipse Crown sat heavy on Eden's brow, its twin spiral darkened to a bruise-like hue, and the air hummed with a dissonant energy that made the wolves' hackles rise. Kelly stood at the edge of the grove, her trinity mark cold and silent, Nyxara's whispers absent for the first time in months. The victory over Nythra felt hollow, a fragile ceasefire in a war far from over.Eden's resurrection had left him changed. His veins, once silvered by the curse, now pulsed with the Eclipse Crown's obsidian light. He moved like a ghost, his footsteps soundless, his gaze fixed on horizons only he could see. Rhydian shadowed him relentlessly, the lattice of scars on his chest glowing faintly, as though reacting to the Crown's corrupted energy."It's in his dreams," Rhydian confessed one night, his voice ragged. "

  • The Rejected Curvy Luna Queen    The shattered vale

    **KELLY THOMPSON'S POV**The Shattered Vale was a wound in the earth, a jagged chasm where the First Wolves were said to have clawed their way into existence. Its cliffs glistened with veins of star-metal, and the air hummed with the echoes of ancient howls. Kelly stood at the edge, her trinity mark throbbing in rhythm with the valley's pulse. Beside her, Jason surveyed the terrain, his Alpha instincts bristling."This place reeks of death," he muttered, claws unsheathed."Not death," Kelly corrected. "*Rebirth*. The First Wolves didn't just die here-they were *forged*."The revelation had come from a crumbling codex hidden beneath the grove's heartstone, its pages etched by a long-dead scholar of the Ouroboros Clan. The text spoke of the Vale as a crucible, a place where primordial forces had melded flesh and shadow to create the wolf-kind. But it also warned of the *Eclipse Crown*, a relic buried in the Vale's depths, capable of severing curses... or magnifying them.Eden's plague-v

  • The Rejected Curvy Luna Queen    The Moon's Curse

    **KELLY THOMPSON'S POV**The moon's corpse left a void in the sky, a starless wound that bled silence. In its absence, the laws of the world frayed. Rivers ran backward. Wolves gave birth to stillborn shadows. The plague-veins in Eden's arms lay dormant but restless, a sleeping storm neither he nor Isolde could name. The packs called it *the Hollowing*-a sickness of the soul, a hunger for what the moon had taken.Rhydian's serpents were gone. In their place, a lattice of scars stretched across his chest, thin and white as spider silk. They ached when the wind shifted east, as though mourning their lost purpose. He refused to speak of the tomb in the fen, of the thing that had worn my face. But at night, when the camp slept, I heard him whispering to Eden's shadows. *"Stay with him. Keep him whole."*They didn't listen.---**EDEN'S POV**The first time I saw the *Veil-Threader*, I thought it a hallucination. A figure woven from smoke and static, standing at the edge of the Blackroot F

  • The Rejected Curvy Luna Queen    The Kinslayer

    **KELLY THOMPSON'S POV**The moon's corpse hung low, a bloated specter leaching color from the sky. Its craters pulsed like open wounds, and the sea beneath it had gone still, a black mirror reflecting its rot. The *Kinslayer* cut through the water, its heartstone hull groaning as if mourning the world it sailed toward. Selene's wolves clustered at the bow, their star-metal blades glinting like shards of dead constellations. Rhydian stood apart, his serpents restless beneath his skin, their scales shimmering with a light that matched the moon's sickly glow."They're whispering again," he said, fingers brushing the twin snakes coiled over his ribs.Eden glanced up from sharpening his daggers, gold-green magic flickering at his fingertips. "What do they want this time?""To *bite*," Rhydian replied, his smile sharp but brittle.The ship lurched.---The first wave hit at dusk-not water, but *shadows*. They slithered over the deck, disorienting and cold, their touch leeching warmth from
