The Silver-Marked Luna Chapter 14
The steam rising from the massive iron cauldron smelled of boiled root vegetables, wild thyme, and bitter mountain marrow.I stood at the long wooden prep table in the bustling kitchen, a small knife gripped tightly in my raw, bruised hand, peeling winter potatoes into a wooden bucket. All around me, cooks clattered copper pots, young servants rushed past with trays of roasted venison, and guards yelled order numbers across the humid, noisy room.No one spoke to me.Every time a kitchen maid walked past my station, she pulled her skirts tight to her sides, keeping a wide, fearful distance, as if the mark beneath my collar was contagious."Mind the skin on those potatoes, child," a harsh, croak-like voice called out.Old Greta, the head cook—a stout woman with broad shoulders and gray hair tied in a tight bun—stepped up beside me, dumping a fresh sack of roots onto the table. She looked at my peeling technique with a heavy, judgmental frown."I'm keeping it thin," I muttered qui

The heavy smell of dried lavender, iron-rich mountain clay, and steeped silver-leaf tea filled the warm infirmary.I sat on a wooden bench, wincing slightly as a soft linen cloth dabbed against the deep bruises covering my forearms. My muscles were screaming from the grueling midnight practice and another exhausting morning session in the training arena."Hold still, dear," Aeris Holloway murmured softly, her kind, wrinkled face illuminated by the amber glow of the hearth fire. "You are running yourself into the ground, Nyx. If you keep pushing your body like this without rest, your core will collapse before the next full moon."Aeris was the head healer of Ironclad Keep—a gentle, middle-aged woman with warm hazel eyes, silver-streaked brown hair braided neatly over her shoulder, and a gentle presence that made me feel like I wasn't an outcast for the first time since arriving at the fortress."I don't have time to rest, Aeris," I whispered, wincing again as she applied a soothing gre

"Pick it up, girl," a sharp, mocking voice boomed across the dirt arena.Before I could even blink, a heavy wooden training staff caught me squarely in the stomach. The wind exploded out of my lungs in a violent gasp, and my knees caved instantly. I hit the frosted mud hard, my wooden sword clattering away into the dirt."Is this really the Cursed Luna everyone is talking about?" a teenage boy—no older than sixteen—sneered, twirling his wooden staff effortlessly between his fingers. "She moves slower than my grandmother's milk cow!"Laughter erupted from the ring of young trainees surrounding the pit. Fifteen-year-olds, sixteen-year-olds, kids who hadn't even grown their full wolf ears yet, were standing around pointing at me, smirking and snickering behind their hands."That's enough, Leo," a tall, scar-faced warrior stepped forward from the edge of the pit.Rhory Fenrir, one of Evander's elite vanguard instructors—a man famously dubbed The Warrior Who Never Smiles—stood with his arm
The Silver-Marked Luna Chapter 11
The deafening roar of the distant war horn in the valley still vibrated through my bones, but my mind was completely trapped in the terrifying reality that had unfolded before me.I sat on the edge of the hard stone cot inside my chamber, my knees pulled tightly against my chest. Sleep was a cruel joke. Every time I closed my eyes, I didn't see the blood-red eyes creeping through the pine forest below—I saw him.King Evander Draven. The Shadow King.Every terrifying rumor I had ever heard whispered around the hearths in Mooncrest flooded my mind like poison. He was the ruthless monarch who had allegedly slaughtered his own father to claim the obsidian throne of Nocturna. He was the warlord who had crushed the northern rogue rebellion by burning entire territories to ash, leaving no survivors, no mercy, and no quarter for his enemies. Mothers in my home pack used his name to scare children into submission.And for days, he had walked beside me in the mud. He had bandaged my arm. H

"Let go of me!" I screamed, my voice bouncing violently off the wet, slimy stone walls of the aqueduct.I thrashed against his iron grip, my boots splashing freezing water in every direction. My hands were pinned above my head against the cold stone, and every breath I pulled into my lungs felt like swallowing glass.Evander didn't release me. He shifted his weight, using his broad shoulders to trap me against the wall, his chest rising and falling in heavy, rhythmic surges against mine. Without the mask hiding his face, the sheer, crushing intensity of his features was suffocating."Calm down, Nyx," he growled low, his baritone vibrating through my ribs. "Look at my eyes. Look at me!""I don't want to look at you!" I sobbed, hot tears cutting clean tracks through the grime on my face. "You lied to me! You've been playing with me this whole time! You put on that stupid mask and watched me starve! You watched me bleed!""I kept you alive!" Evander snapped, his silver-gold eyes fl
The Silver-Marked Luna Chapter 9
A crossbow bolt slammed directly into the wooden bookshelf an inch above my ear, showering my hair with splintered oak."Help!" I screamed into the pitch-black archives, dropping to my knees and scrambling beneath the heavy mahogany desk. "Guards! Someone help!"Click-clack. The sound of another bolt being loaded echoed through the dark, accompanied by the quiet, terrifying rustle of leather boots against stone.Before the unseen assassin could fire a second shot, the massive wooden doors of the archives crashed open. Heavy iron torches burst into brilliant, searing life along the walls as a wave of armored warriors flooded into the room."Protect the girl!" Commander Jonathan’s voice roared like thunder. "Seal the exits! Block the lower ventilation shafts!"At the front of the rush was King Evander. He moved like a dark phantom, his obsidian short swords drawn, his golden-silver eyes sweeping the high stone rafters with lethal precision."Over there!" a scout yelled, pointing
