The Rogue Luna's Revenge The Cycle Wolves
Brynn Hollis' POVThe cave walls blurred around me.Grandmother. The Shepherd's sister was my grandmother. Morwen—not the seer, not the enemy—family."I don't understand," I said. "Elena never mentioned a mother.""Elena didn't know. Selene wiped her memory, just like she tried to wipe yours." Morwen sat across from me, her silver hair catching the torchlight. "I was young when I had her. Too young. The Shepherd—my sister—convinced me to give Elena to a foster pack. She said it was safer.""Was it?""No. Selene found her anyway. Used her. Manipulated her. By the time I realized, it was too late."---I touched the locket."You've been watching me my whole life.""Not watching. Hoping. I couldn't intervene—Selene's spies were everywhere. But when you killed the Shepherd, when you broke the Council, I saw a chance.""A chance for what?""To finally end this. Selene. The prophecy. The cycle of wolves trying to control other wolves.""And you want my help.""I want to give you the tools t
The Rogue Luna's Revenge The Arbiter's Trial
Brynn Hollis' POVThe Arbiter's trial lasted three days.Wolves from a dozen packs testified. Wolves she had caged. Wolves whose families she had destroyed. Wolves who had served her, then turned against her.In the end, the Circle voted: imprisonment, not death. The Arbiter would spend the rest of her life in a cell, watched by wolves she could not manipulate."Mercy," Dax said."Justice," I replied."There's a difference?""Sometimes. Not today."---The Council's remnants scattered.Some fled north, into the wilderness. Others surrendered, begging to join the Circle. Most were accepted—not as leaders, as workers. Wolves who had to earn their place.The Sorrow stayed in Silver Creek.She reunited with her daughter, Greya, who had been waiting for centuries. They spent hours walking the forests, talking, crying, laughing."You gave me back my mother," Greya said."You gave me back my hope," I replied.---But the shadow of Selene lingered.My biological mother. The wolf who had tried
The Rogue Luna's Revenge The Payback
Brynn Hollis' POVThe bone hall was rubble.But the Council was not destroyed. The Arbiter had escaped. Her wolves scattered into the northern territories, regrouping, waiting. The Sorrow sent word: the Arbiter was demanding a final duel. One champion from the Circle. One from the Council. To the death."If you refuse, she'll attack Silver Creek within the week. No more games. Full war."I read the message twice."She wants me," I said."Then we don't send you," Dax replied."She'll kill anyone else.""Then we fight the war."I looked at the mark on my palm. Faded now, but still present. The Shepherd was gone, but her echo lingered."No. I'll do it."---The duel was set for the full moon.Neutral ground: the same stone circle where I'd killed the Shepherd. The Arbiter chose the location deliberately. She wanted to remind me of death.Farrah argued. Dax argued. Even Rian argued."You're not a warrior," Rian said. "You're a leader.""Leaders fight.""Leaders delegate."I touched his ar
The Rogue Luna's Revenge The Sister's Name
Brynn Hollis' POVThe Sorrow's defection was the first crack.But the Council was still strong. The Arbiter still ruled. And the mark on my palm pulsed each night, a reminder that I was not entirely my own.Who was the Shepherd's sister? I asked.Silence.You heard me. The third trial showed me a woman's face. Not your mother. Not mine. Someone else.Her name was Morwen.The seer?No. A different Morwen. My younger sister. The only wolf I ever loved.Where is she now?I don't know. The Council hid her from me. They used her as leverage to control me.Is she still alive?I don't know.---I found Vera in the infirmary.She was tending to Elara, who was still weak from her imprisonment. Vera looked up when I entered."You have that look.""What look?""The look you get before you do something dangerous.""I need to find Morwen. The Shepherd's sister."Vera set down her herbs. "Why?""Because she's the key to destroying the Council. The Shepherd said they used her as leverage. If she's s
The Rogue Luna's Revenge The Council's Game
Brynn Hollis' POVThree days after returning to Silver Creek, I learned the Council's true game.It started with a letter.Not delivered by bird or wolf. It appeared on my pillow, sealed with black wax, no symbol. I opened it while Dax slept beside me.Luna Brynn,The truce was a distraction. While you negotiated, we planted our seeds. The Shepherd's consciousness was never in the machine. It was in you.Look at your hand.I looked.The mark was back.Not faint—dark, pulsing, the Shepherd's brand burned into my palm. I stared at it, heart pounding.She's been with you since the first trial. Guiding you. Protecting you. Changing you.You are becoming her.And there's nothing you can do to stop it.---I woke Dax.He saw the mark. His face went pale."We're going back to the bone hall.""No. That's what they want.""Brynn—""They want me angry. Reactive. They want me to march north and attack. Then they can justify killing me.""So what do we do?"I looked at the mark. Felt the Shepherd
The Rogue Luna's Revenge The Road South
Brynn Hollis' POVThe road south was easier than the road north.We had prisoners freed from the Council's dungeons. We had the Council's representative, Kaelen, walking silently among us. We had the wolf-shaped storm watching from the clouds, no longer attacking—just observing.And we had Elara, Wren's mother.She was stronger now. The color had returned to her cheeks. She walked beside me, Wren holding her hand, asking endless questions about the trees, the birds, the sky."Mama, why is the sky blue?""Because the moon paints it at night.""No, the sun paints it.""Then listen to the sun."Wren laughed. It was the first time I'd heard her laugh.---"The Council didn't just take me," Elara said quietly.We were walking apart from the group. Wren was ahead with Farrah, chasing butterflies."What else did they do?""They questioned me. About you. About Silver Creek. About the prophecy.""What did you tell them?""Nothing. I didn't know anything. That's why they kept me alive. They tho
