All Chapters of A Luna's Vengeance : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sleep was impossible. I lay on the narrow cot in the healing tent, staring at the canvas ceiling while my mind raced through everything Moira had revealed. Eclipse Covenant. The bloodline thought extinct. Powers that could enhance entire packs during battle.The bond mark on my wrist pulsed steadily now, not with warning but with something deeper recognition, perhaps, or awakening. Silver light played beneath my skin like captured starfire, and I could feel energy building in my bones, demanding release.Around me, wounded warriors stirred restlessly in their sleep. Some muttered words I couldn't understand, their voices carrying strange harmonics that seemed to resonate with the power flowing through me. Whatever was happening, it was affecting more than just myself."Can't sleep either?"I turned to find Elena sitting beside a warrior whose leg had been shattered in the ambush. Her hands glowed with faint golden light as she worked to accelerate his healing, but her eyes were fixed

War drums echoed across the compound as Bloodfang forces emerged from the forest like a tide of shadow and steel. From the walls, I could see Kael's banners streaming in the wind that preceded the coming storm crimson cloth marked with the snarling wolf head that had once been my own symbol."Three hundred warriors, just as the scouts reported," Marcus observed grimly, lowering his spyglass. "Plus siege equipment and what looks like a full complement of battle-mages."Battle-mages. Wolves trained to channel raw pack energy into destructive force. They couldn't match the individual power of an Eclipse Covenant heir, but working together they could level entire sections of wall."Our defenses won't hold against sustained magical assault," Darius said quietly. "Not for long."I studied the approaching forces through the enhanced senses my awakening had provided. Each Bloodfang warrior registered as a distinct presence in my awareness, their intentions clear as daylight. But there was som

The aftermath of magical collision left the battlefield eerily quiet. Smoke rose from scorched earth where conflicting energies had torn reality itself, while the scent of ozone and burned magic hung heavy in the air.Kael lay motionless twenty feet away, his body twisted and broken by forces no mortal frame was meant to withstand. The sword that had gleamed with malevolent power was now just ordinary steel, its enchantments consumed in the magical conflagration.Maris had fared little better. The artificial enhancements that had made her so dangerous were gone, leaving her unconscious and eerily peaceful. For the first time in months, she looked like the woman I had once called friend.Around us, the combined armies watched in stunned silence. The demonstration of Eclipse Covenant power had ended the battle before it truly began, but at a cost I was only beginning to understand.I tried to take a step forward and nearly collapsed. The awakened power that had flowed through me so effo

The coalition forces spread across the valley like a living sea of steel and shadow, their banners streaming in the wind that carried the scent of approaching storm. Seven major packs, unified in their fear of what I represented, had brought their finest warriors to end the Eclipse Covenant bloodline once and for all.From the compound walls, I could see their formation not the chaotic mob I had hoped for, but disciplined battle lines that spoke of careful coordination. These weren't frightened wolves acting on impulse. They were seasoned fighters who had planned this assault down to the smallest detail."Ironmaw holds the center," Marcus reported, his spyglass trained on the enemy positions. "Shadowmere and Frostclaw on the flanks. The others are spread in support formations.""Battle-mages?" I asked, though I could already sense them through my awakened abilities dozens of wolves trained in combat magic, their power focused and ready."At least fifty, possibly more. They're masking

Two weeks after the battle, the Hollow Moon Temple had been transformed into something unprecedented a meeting place for representatives from twelve different packs, all working to establish the framework of an alliance that had no historical precedent.I stood before the altar where I had recovered from my awakening, watching delegates debate territorial agreements with the same passion their ancestors had once reserved for warfare. The ancient stones hummed with gentle power, responding to the silver connections that now linked wolves from across the region."Resource sharing protocols for the eastern valleys," Marcus announced, consulting a scroll that seemed to grow longer with each passing day. "Ironmaw provides mineral rights, Shadowmere offers hunting access, Frostclaw maintains the mountain passes..."The complexity was staggering. Each pack brought unique strengths and needs to the alliance, requiring careful negotiation to ensure everyone benefited equally. But slowly, pains
