The path to the Den was older than any trail on the maps. It had no markers, no scentline. The trees grew close here, their trunks thick with moss and old names carved by teeth, not hands. Every root Fenric stepped over carried stories too old for memory and too dangerous for retelling.

The Pack followed without speaking.

Kaela stayed just behind him, her blades sheathed but close. Her breath was steady, but her thoughts were not. She had once believed the Elders were the spine of their world. Now she wondered if they had always been the fracture.

Sira walked to Fenric’s left, her eyes sharp, her light dimmed to avoid notice. Her silence said more than her words would have. She didn’t speak truth until she could verify it—and what she’d seen in Fenric’s return had unsettled her in ways she had not admitted.

Raelin flanked the right, still bruised from what she had seen inside the thread. She hadn’t spoken since Fenric emerged. Not out of anger, but because part of her was afraid to kn

  • The White Wolf Luna   The Door Beneath the Bone

    The night that followed the Reclaiming was not one of rest or celebration, but of unease so deep it seemed to reach beneath the soil itself. There was no wind, no movement of clouds, no rustle of leaves or branches, as though the entire land was holding its breath, waiting for the consequences of truth to unfold. The moon, which should have cast silver over the stones outside the Den, did not rise. Hidden behind a dense veil of smoke and distant mountain fire, it offered no blessing, no light, no omen. And that silence, that stillness, that lack of anything to guide or answer, became the omen itself.Fenric did not sleep.Long after the circle disbanded and the last of the blood had been absorbed into the centerstone, he remained in the chamber, seated with his back straight and eyes fixed on the cold embers of the extinguished fire. His hands rested quietly on his knees, palms up, as if still bearing the weight of the names he had spoken. There was no strength left in his shoulders,

  • The White Wolf Luna   The Blood That Answers

    The snowline had not yet receded, and the high passes remained jagged with ice, but still the old ones came.They moved without ceremony, without escort, without allegiance. Some came in fives, others alone. Scarred jaws, white-rimmed eyes, hides mottled with the pigment of generations lost—these were not Alphas nor emissaries, not declared leaders of any Pack. They were older than those titles. They were wolves who had never answered to the Cycle, and whose bloodlines were unrecorded in any archive the Elders had permitted to survive.They came because the mark had returned.They came because something ancient was stirring again.And because the line had finally been drawn in truth, not in metaphor.Fenric stood at the mouth of the gathering den, his shoulders taut and bare, breath steaming in the mountain air, as the final of the old ones approached. Her fur was the color of peatstone, her eyes the same green as thawed lakewater, and when she spoke, her voice carried not through vol

  • The White Wolf Luna   The First Reclaiming

    The first challenge came before the sun rose.The wolves from Ashfen Hollow arrived in silence, their presence announced not by howls or calls but by the sudden disappearance of birdsong, the vanishing of small forest things, and the unmistakable shift in the wind that always came before confrontation. They wore no banners, bore no signal of alliance, and yet the way they moved tight, coordinated, eyes always scanning for the slightest wrongness marked them as soldiers of an old order that had not yet accepted its death.Fenric stood at the edge of the Den, the last of the ash still clinging to his boots from the chamber below, his body stilled not by hesitation but by calculation, because even without speaking to them he could see that they had not come to listen. They had come to weigh.And wolves who weigh before they speak are rarely here for peace.Sira was the first to step beside him, her silverlight restrained, her expression unreadable, her voice quiet enough to be private bu

  • The White Wolf Luna   Names in the Ash

    The wall groaned open.Dust rolled out first, dry and bitter, carrying the scent of old bone and long-dead fire. Then Fenric emerged. His boots were coated in ash, his shoulders squared. He didn’t speak right away. He didn’t have to.They knew.Kaela moved to him first, her eyes on his face, not his hands. “What did you find?”Fenric looked past her, toward the Elders who had not moved from their seats.Then he turned toward the wolves gathered at the Den’s entrance. Dozens now. More arriving. Some with markings of far-off territories. Some, unaligned. All watching.He held out a single strip of bark, dried and dark, its surface carved with deep, deliberate symbols.“The names,” he said. “The ones they erased.”Raelin stepped forward. “How many?”Fenric didn’t blink. “Three hundred and twelve. From the First Cycle alone.”Silence broke across the Den like a cracked bone.Sira stepped to his side, reading the list with him. Her silverlight flickered, steady now, not for defense, but il

  • The White Wolf Luna   The Truth That Leads

    The glade was no longer still.When Syra stepped into the clearing, the earth responded not with tremor or quake, but with acknowledgment. As if the land had once known her footsteps and was only now remembering.Kaela rose slowly, blades at her sides, not drawn, but ready.Sira stood between her and Syra, the moonlight barely visible across her shoulders.Raelin did not move.Syra stopped within reach of the fire’s dying glow. Her cloak was torn, her breath measured, her hands open at her sides. She did not raise her voice. She didn’t have to.“He chose to carry it.”Kaela’s jaw clenched. “Carry what?”Syra looked to her, tired but unwavering. “The weight we buried in him. The stories you were never told. The blood we all came from.”Sira stepped forward. “And what is he now?”Syra’s eyes didn’t flinch. “Honest.”No one spoke.Raelin tilted her head slightly. “If that’s true, why aren’t you with him?”Syra’s gaze turned toward the forest behind her. “Because he asked me to walk ahead
