Celeste didn’t wait for the sun. She was already pacing her penthouse—this glass-and-marble kingdom that never really felt like hers, no matter how much money sparkled in every corner, no matter how many times she tried to convince herself she’d finally claimed it. All that wealth meant nothing if she couldn’t control it, if it slipped through her fingers like sand. Last night changed everything. The balance of power had shifted, lines redrawn in blood and memory, and now every instinct screamed for dominance. She needed control—over herself, her enemies, her legacy. All of it, tightly gripped, never again vulnerable to someone else’s games.

Her wolf was restless beneath her skin, prowling, hungry, its presence a constant pressure against the cage of her ribs. It stirred with every heartbeat, impatient, eager for a hunt, for the taste of fear and victory. The morning light, all gold and violet, caught in her hair as she trailed her fingers along the edge of her desk, the cool surface

  • White Wolf: Blood Moon Rising”    Chapter 28: When The World Notices

    The world didn’t explode with panic all at once.First, it simply stopped.There was a hush, a collective inhale that stretched across continents. In the great financial exchanges, trading tickers froze in place—not out of logic or calculation, but as if every algorithm and analyst sensed something vast shifting underfoot. Politicians vanished behind closed doors, their phones left ringing, their aides issuing vague denials. Even satellites seemed to drift on new orbits, inching aside as though compelled by a primal instinct to clear the stage for something colossal and ancient.From thirty thousand feet above, Nyxara observed the tableau with a chilling detachment. Her private jet sliced through the upper air, unbothered by the turbulence of the world below. Her violet eyes flickered with the restless data feeds streaming across her displays—markets, military movements, encrypted chatter that refused to stabilize. Patterns trembled at the edge of chaos, waiting for a single spark to

  • White Wolf: Blood Moon Rising”    Chapter 27: The Rule you Don't Break

    Nyxara didn’t move. Not a twitch, not even the smallest flicker of breath. If you’d spent any time with her, you’d know—that was the moment the world ought to hold its breath, too. Her rage wasn’t loud, not the kind that crashed through rooms and left splinters in the walls. No, the danger came in the stillness, in the way her presence seemed to crystallize, drawing the air tight and cold. It wasn’t her shouting or pacing holes in the floor that signaled the turning point—it was when she went utterly, perfectly still. That was the moment when everything inside her went silent, when she locked every door and window to her soul, sealing herself tight against the world.She couldn’t shake the image seared into her mind: a white wolf, massive and wild, chained and caged, its eyes burning with the memory of frost and moonlight. The vision haunted her, a living flame behind her eyelids every time she blinked.Alive, but not free.Trapped, limbs wound in runes and metal.Put on display, a li

  • White Wolf: Blood Moon Rising”    Chapter 26: First Cut

    Nyxara didn’t go home after the meeting.Home spelled comfort, sanctuary, the kind of security that lulled most people into lowering their guard. It was the next logical step, the move that would let her curl up and lick her wounds—a retreat to the familiar scent of old books and the faint echo of laughter behind locked doors. The sort of place your enemies would expect you to bolt to, some cozy den where you could pretend the world’s teeth couldn’t reach you for the night.She had no intention of being predictable.Instead, she kept driving, the city’s glittering mask slipping away in her rearview. Neon bled into darkness, glass towers giving up their shimmer to the broken backs of warehouses and streets hollowed out by years of neglect. Her path wound deeper into shadow, through alleys where streetlights dared not shine. She finally pulled into a squat concrete bunker, the kind that didn’t show up on any map, buried beneath the weight of secrets and old wars. She killed the engine.

  • White Wolf: Blood Moon Rising”    Chapter 25: Terms and Teeth

    Nyxara didn’t show up alone.She just didn’t bring anyone you could see. The air shifted around her, charged with the restless, invisible presence of every instinct, every secret, every shadow she’d ever carried. She was never truly solitary; the wolf prowled just beneath her skin, the vampire observed from within, and the succubus hid, coiled and wary, all of them locked in uneasy truce while Nyxara walked forward into the unknown.The location details arrived in fragmented bursts, each message a riddle: encrypted, scrambled, shifting every thirty seconds, the coordinates dancing just out of reach. It was as if the meeting itself was trying to escape detection—an event allergic to certainty, repelled by the very idea of permanence. Only when her car crossed an unseen threshold at the city’s edge did the information stabilize, coordinates crystallizing with a finality that made her heart skip. No lights marked the place, no signs warned the unwary. It was a patch of land so aggressive

  • White Wolf: Blood Moon Rising”    Chapter 24: Bait

    Nyxara didn’t want peace.Peace was a lullaby for the weak, a sugar-spun story told in dark rooms to soothe the trembling. It was the lie of safety, the fiction that you could ever really stop what’s coming. Peace was what people asked for when they’d run out of imagination, when they wanted to pretend the world would wait for them to catch up. Nyxara had no patience for such illusions.She wanted tension. She craved the crackle of uncertainty, the breathless hush before the storm. She wanted the heat that rose from mistakes, the sweat on upper lips, the nerves fraying in real time. She wanted to peel the veneer off the people in their fortified glass towers, to force the ones hiding behind polished screens and ancient rules to show their throats. She wanted to make the world shift—because of her, because she demanded it.So she built a trap.Not some crude, garish thing, not the kind that leaves bodies in the street or headlines in the newsfeeds. The good traps are quiet, almost invi

  • White Wolf: Blood Moon Rising”    Chapter 23: The Shape of Loyalty

    Nyxara hated favors.Every favor spun a web—threads that tugged, cut, or tightened when least expected. Sometimes the strings were barbed, sometimes the knives hid behind smiles. Most of the time, the debt cost more than the original wound.That’s why when Elias Cross strolled into her penthouse as if it were his own personal stage—breezing by security she’d handpicked herself—her pulse didn’t slow. It sharpened. Relief was a myth she’d stopped believing in. All she felt was suspicion, cold and deliberate, settling in her chest like frost.“You’ve got balls,” she muttered, not peeling her gaze away from the wall of shifting data streams. “Or you’re suicidal.”Elias flashed that infuriating, bulletproof grin—the one he’d used to talk his way out of blacksites and into royal parties. Once, he’d been the city’s most infamous intelligence broker. Now, he called himself her “ally,” as if the word had ever meant safety. He’d pulled her from the ashes when she was nothing but a rumor and a b
