All Chapters of THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

The sound of horses' hoof reverberated through the pack. As they came closer to the well-known Ridgewood pack house Selene and her warriors rode hard, the strong legs of their horses hammering the ground. A feeling of relief and achievement permeated the air. The mission was successful. Pulling on her reins, Selene brought her horse to a halt as the pack house appeared. Her boots landed gently on the ground as she dismounted with a graceful leg swing. She was followed by her men all of whom were formidable figures in armor with helmets over their faces. A few of the warriors retreated to the end of the group after Selene gave a pointed signal. Heavy leather bags clinked with a pleasing sound as they started to unstrap them. They were loaded with gold taken from Alpha Kieran and his men.With heavy footsteps, the men dragged the bags to the pack house's entrance. She entered after pushing open the big wooden door. She was welcomed by the cozy fire and the well-known scent of woods

As the warriors marched, the sun was hammering down on their faces and armor. A thick silence descended upon the land. Hand-picked from three distinct packs, they were a huge force with a single goal in mind:to destroy Ridgewood. Elder Vulcan's ancient power was a silent threat of destruction and his presence at the head of this powerful army was a commanding weight. But Rylan had no such confidence. He had a deep-seated frown on his face which was a mask for his inner conflict. His thoughts were miles away from the impending conflict as he rode his horse in a rigid stance. The feeling that this was all a huge error persisted in his mind. He kept thinking about Ravena's death, the woman whose actions had started this whole violent tale. She had left. Now what was all of this for? By his side, Tristan was riding next to him. His eyes were bright with a grim excitement and he was carefree. He thought Rylan's anger was almost humorous. With a smirk on Tristan's lips, he asked, “Wh

“What are you talking about?” An elder asked in surprise, his face a map of gentle wrinkles.His genuine, deep concern reflected their shared love for their Luna. His hand extended in a consoling gesture as he stepped forward. “You are very important to us. Luna Ravena, please take it easy yourself.”The name weighed heavily on her chest like a stone. Luna Ravena. She had been using that title for months and even though it was a lie, it had become her reality.She felt a knot in her stomach from the love in his voice and the concern in his eyes. No matter how painful it was, the truth had to be revealed. When she spoke it was in a firm voice. “My name is not Ravena Blackthorn. Ravena died months ago.” Her confession hit the silent room with a bang. Like a piece of glass breaking. The words felt out of place in the cozy setting because they conveyed a harsh reality. It became eerily quiet in the room. All of them, including the elders and Ethan, gazed at her with wide eyes. There w

The moon was high in the sky watching over Shadowfang with its silvery gleam. Its light poured onto the pack grounds, casting a pale radiance on the house walls. Alpha Kieran stood still from his chamber’s window, his wide shoulders tense, his eyes focused on the tense night outside. The moonlight gave the pack a serene appearance but his thoughts were anything but peaceful. His thoughts were raging like a tempest that he was unable to control. Since the moment he met Vulcan, he had been pained by the weight of his demand. Step down as Alpha of Shadowfang.The words were like a curse replaying in his mind. His jaw tightened as anger surged through him. That wicked old fool dares to challenge him, him an Alpha by birthright, an Alpha forged by blood and sacrifice. No monster would take Shadowfang away from him because it had been in his family for many generations. All because of stolen gold pieces? It could happen to anyone. There were no limits to the man's greed. Veins tighte

Kieran grimaced in agony and dragged himself to the closest chair, his leg smearing the cold stone floor with a dark sticky trail of blood. The weathered wood groaned beneath his weight as he fell onto it. Sweat trickled from his forehead, soaking his hair and stinging his eyes. Every ragged breath he took was a struggle, a gasp of air that didn't help much with the oppressive heat radiating from his thigh wound. The poison had been a fire in his veins. His leg muscles shook wildly, and a new wave of pain caused his vision to blur as he pressed his hands against the wound. Selene remained steadfast in her position, her crossbow still aimed at his chest as she stood over him. “If I don't get answers, the poison will spread throughout your body. You’ll soon be reduced to a corpse.” Kieran’s pride in being an Alpha, a position that had defined his entire life, crumbled under the weight of death which was drawing nearer with each heartbeat. He was aware that his time was running ou
