The forest shouldn’t have been this quiet. The wind usually moves through the Hollow Wilds without stopping, bending the trees until they whisper back. Tonight, the branches barely stirred. Even the insects kept their distance from the clearing, like the dark itself was holding its breath.

Darek’s words followed me as I walked. “The Guild’s next move ends in blood.” Threats from the Guild aren’t new. I learned a long time ago that fear won’t keep you alive. But the way he said it— I

  • Wolf and Blades: Moonbound Blood   Chapter 60: No Peace

    K A E L O RAshmoore was awake before the sun even reached the treetops.I felt it the second I stepped outside.Wolves moved through the inner paths, focused and already working. Patrol runners crossed the clearing near the council hall, passing quick updates in low voices. No one was talking loudly, but the tension in the air was impossible to miss.The Guild had crossed the border. I walked through the center of the clearing. Warriors shifted aside as I passed, but nobody slowed down. Most of them were already armed, hands resting on weapons while their eyes kept drifting toward the forest line. Waiting. Watching.Like they expected something to come out of those trees at any second.The bond beneath my ribs tightened again. Restless. Pulling at me.It dragged my attention back toward the stone halls behind me, to the room where Nyxara was still asleep.For a second, I almost turned around. But duty came first.I pushed the thought away, headed for the council chamber, and pushe

    N Y X A R AThe forest shouldn’t have been this quiet. The wind usually moves through the Hollow Wilds without stopping, bending the trees until they whisper back. Tonight, the branches barely stirred. Even the insects kept their distance from the clearing, like the dark itself was holding its breath.Darek’s words followed me as I walked. “The Guild’s next move ends in blood.” Threats from the Guild aren’t new. I learned a long time ago that fear won’t keep you alive. But the way he said it— It felt too close.The bond shifted under my ribs, sharp and restless, like it was trying to warn me of something I couldn’t see yet and the feeling wouldn’t settle. When the path curved toward the stone circle at the edge of Ashmoore, I slowed. The Seer lived there. And if anyone already knew what was coming, it would be Elaren.The stones rose from the earth in a rough circle, older than the forest around them. Time had worn their surfaces smooth, the edges softened by years no one bothered to

  • Wolf and Blades: Moonbound Blood   Chapter 58: Alpha’s Wrath

    K A E L O RNyxara stands between us, the knife still in her hand. The blade hangs at her side, but she hasn’t let it go. Darek is right behind her, close enough that his shadow spills over her shoulder and stretches across the ground at her feet.I step into the clearing and the bond snaps wide open. The pull between us is tight and raw, like something pulled too far and about to tear. Her breathing isn’t steady. There’s dirt smeared across her hands, and beneath the damp scent of earth, I catch the faint trace of blood in the air. She looks at me just for a second, then she looks away. But she doesn’t move away from him. My attention shifts to the man beside her.“You weren’t summoned,” I say. Darek doesn’t so much as blink.“I don’t answer summons.”“You’re standing in my territory.”“And she’s standing in hers.”Nyxara’s grip tightens slightly around the knife. The blade stays low. She doesn’t say a word. But the bond carries the weight of her silence anyway.“You went to her by y

  • Wolf and Blades: Moonbound Blood   Chapter 57: The Knife’s Memory

    N Y X A R AThe knife feels familiar before I know why. It sits in my hand like it belongs there. The grip fits. The weight shifts toward the tip, made for close fighting. I turn it once, and the blade catches the light. It is clean, unused, and sent this way on purpose.The bond tightens, like something beyond the clearing has moved. I slow my breathing and look at the handle. There is a faint shine near the hilt, the kind that shows where a thumb has rested again and again.The corridor is narrow. Smoke burns the back of my throat and boots hit stone from both ends. I misjudged the exit.“Go,” Lucien says. He stands at the mouth of the hall, blade drawn, and his body turned to block the first wave. He does not look at me.“We can still turn,” I tell him and I am already counting steps.“You’re bleeding.”“I can still run.”“That’s the point.”The first guard reaches him, and Lucien moves before the man finishes shouting. The strike lands clean. He turns to meet the second. Steel hi

    N Y X A R AI leave the ring without looking at him. I walk because it steadies me and it’s the only thing I still control. The air is cool, but my skin is warm where he touched me. The bond has not eased. It sits there, tight and steady, as if distance does not matter. It should fade but it does not.I reach the edge of the clearing and move into the trees. My breathing stays even but my pulse doesn’t. I can still feel his presence and it is closer than it was before. That is the problem because I know what I did.I go deeper into the woods where the light cannot reach. The ground shifts under my boots, roots cutting across the path. I do not slow but the bond tightens again, quiet and certain. I have walked farther from him before and felt less. Now it feels closer. If I can feel it like this, someone else might too. I stop walking and the thought settles in my chest.“You run fast.” His voice comes from ahead. Darek stands between two trees, one shoulder against the trunk, as if he

  • Wolf and Blades: Moonbound Blood    Chapter 55: A Kiss Without Control

    K A E L O RI don’t go back to my room after I leave hers. I stay in the corridor instead, leaning against the stone wall while the flames burn lower and the guards change shifts in silence. I know I will not sleep tonight, so I stop pretending that I will.Her heat is still inside me. It sits beneath my ribs like it belongs there. I can still hear the change in her breathing, my name in her voice. I felt it before she said it. The bond carried it to me first, sharp and certain, as if it wanted me to know.The bond has not reacted like that before. It was not just want or hunger. It felt deeper than that, heavier in a way I could not ignore, like something inside me had shifted and would not settle back into place.Before dawn, I walk to the northern wall and look toward the tree line. The forest stands quiet. Nothing moves. The perimeter should have responded when something crossed it. It should have warned me. Instead, the bond woke me first. And I do not know which troubles me more
