Chapter One: The Night of Ascension

Akira's POV“Stand still for once, Akira. If you move again, I swear by the Moon, I won't hold back from sedating you.”I let out a hearty and breathy laugh. “You talk as if you don't know you already tightened the clasps three times, much harder than they should, Elder Mira. If I inhale too deeply, I’ll definitely pass out, and that would be right before my own Awakening.”“That would be really unfortunate,” she muttered, her fingers still glued at my back, magically working at the silver threads of my ceremonial gown. “A Luna seen fainting on the night of her most cherished day, which is her Ascension would be… so symbolic. And this time, not in a good way.”I calmly met my reflection in the well polished obsidian mirror. The girl staring back at me doesn't look troubled, but calm. Poised, and of course, Luna-perfect.But somehow, right inside, my chest felt hollow.“Do you feel it yet?” Mira asked quietly, reviving our conversation. “The stirring?”I hesitated for a few seconds. Th

Chapter Two: Public Rejection

Akira's POV “Lucien,” I said, my voice breaking the suffocating silence, “what are you doing?”Every head in the courtyard snapped toward us, waiting for his final decision.Lucien Stormcrest didn’t answer immediately. He stood one step inside the ritual circle now, shoulders squared, Alpha's presence all over him. The same presence that used to make me feel safe now threatened to take my last breath.“You failed the Awakening, disappointing those that had their fate in you,” he replied calmly.A laugh slipped out of me before I could stop it. It sounded wrong entirely to me. “That’s it? That’s what this is after all? Sometimes the Moon...”“...does not delay to confirm their own,” Elder Thane cut in sharply. “It has never delayed since I was little.”I turned to face him. “You taught me the rites to be done yourself. You said...”“I said the Moon answers those it accepts, and doesn't waste time on doing that,” he replied, avoiding my eyes.A murmur rose again, this time, very much l

Chapter Three: The Friend in White

Akira's POV “Get up.”The voice wasn’t gentle, nothing has been gentle lately.I blinked as I flung my eyes open, stone pressed cold into my cheek. My body felt wrong...now lighter somehow, like something essential had been carved out of me.“Get. Up.”I lifted my head and immediately found Maelis standing over me. She was still dressed in white, in the ceremonial white. She was too perfect, untouched like a queen, untorn unlike me. “You shouldn’t be here,” I croaked, my voice failing me. “Go stand beside your Alpha.”She flinched...or rather, she pretended to. “Akira… don’t make this harder than it already is.”I laughed, a broken sound that scraped my throat. “Harder? You’re wearing Luna white on the night I was rejected.”Her eyes roamed around the courtyard, where the last of the pack still gathered, pretending not to stare. “Lower your voice.”“Why?” I demanded. “So they don’t hear what you did?”“I didn’t do anything,” she said quickly, too quickly for someone not guilty. “Thi

Chapter Four: Banished Before Dawn

Akira's POV“Keep moving.”Rough muscular hands tightened around my arms, jerking me upright when my knees buckled.“I am moving,” I replied weakly. “You don’t have to drag me like a criminal.”“You stopped being one of us the moment the Alpha said so,” a guard replied.I laughed weakly at his funny joke. “That's very funny. Yesterday you bowed when I passed.”“That was yesterday, not today.”Stone paths turned to dirt beneath my bare feet. And as we continued silently, Crimson Moon Clan slept peacefully, already forgetting my name.“Where are you taking me to exactly?” I asked, though I already knew.“Beyond the eastern markers, where you belong.”Exile? Permanently exile?I swallowed hard. “At least give me shoes, that would be much appreciated.”Silence followed, as none of them showed me mercy. Another guard scoffed. “Shouldn't you have thought of that before failing the Moon.”I twisted my head toward him, completely taken aback at his abuse. “Say that again.”He leaned closer,

Chapter Five: Blackveil City

Akira's POV“Hey, don’t die ooo.” The voice was rough, amused, and entirely unconcerned with my comfort.I groaned as I wondered who could be. “That’s… a terrible way of greeting someone”Then a low chuckle, which kind of amused me. “Good. That means you’re still alive.”Light found its way to my eyelids. Neon, very harsh and unforgiving. I turned my head and hissed as pain flared behind my eyes.“Easy,” the voice said. “You passed out so hard.”“Where am I?” I croaked, my voice unrecognizably. “Blackveil City.” The words landed on my ears heavily.I forced my eyes open immediately. Concrete walls were around me, the ones I can't remember entering. “This isn’t Crimson Moon land,” I whispered quietly.“No,” the man said. “And if you’ve got any sense left, you won’t dare say that name too loudly around here.”I tried to sit up on hearing that, but pain had its way in exploding through my ribs. “Ah,” he said. “There it is.”I clenched my teeth in agony. “Who are you exactly?”“Kade,”

Chapter Six: Into the Shadows

Akira's POV I gazed up at Ronan Blackthorn as the valley spun slightly around me.His words hung between us like smoke unwavering, ready to dissipate. Dangerous. Thick. Impossible to shake away.“You mean I can't survive what’s waking up inside me?”My voice was barely above a whisper. It was quieter than I could imagine.It was almost childlike. I hated it instantly.His stare didn’t even soften, looking at me like a predator looking at his prey with his silver-flecked eyes.“Yes.” Just one word. No addition, no elaboration.“Hmmm.” Kade made a sound. It was between a laugh and a scoff.“Are you always this chatty, Blackthorn? Or is it just because of her that makes you this imaginative?”Ronan ignored him, his eyes still locked onto mine.His attention never faltered.“Do you know what you did?”I shook my head negatively.“Three rogues. You bent them down to your will.”“It didn’t look like dominance,” he paused, stooped beside me.“That was command.”“It was the kind that doesn’t

Chapter Seven: Ashen Hollow

Akira's POV “That's where your training starts,” he said, as he gazed at me for some time.I flinched.“Training?”The words sounded different in my mouth, like something far away. Something for other people, not me. Not after everything that has happened, not after everything I have seen. “Which Training-” “Or training for what exactly. ” My voice came out small again, barely above a whisper. I hated when it sounded like that. Ronan didn't answer me immediately, he just looked at me, as if he's measuring something. Maybe measuring if I am ready to learn the truth, or I would faint hearing it. The truth be told, some part of me doesn't want to hear the truth. Kade snuffed from the corner. “Trying not to die obviously” he leaned on a rusty table. His arms were still crossed. “You think that the little heat in your chest is just pain or a joke to you?” He paused“It's going to burst in your chest if you don't learn how to hold it. I touched my chest carefully, I could still fe

Chapter Eight: First Kill

Akira's POV The warehouse stayed cold, as graylight slipped through the cracked window. Ronan sat against the wall all night, eyes opened, never sleeping. I lay on the crate, I tried to sleep, but it never came easy. My mind was running too fast. The pain, hate, the strange heat in my chest, it paused soft now, like breathing.I was pretending to sleep as I kept my eyes closed. There was a strange noise outside, but Ronan heard it first, as he was watching the door. Soft steps, not from one person but a lot. Too many steps, not random, organized, he stood up quietly with no sounds.His hand went to the blade at his side, I felt it. I opened my eyes slowly, as the air got heavier.“What is it?” My voice barely above a whisper. He put one finger to his lip to silence me. “Company” He moved close to the window.He peeked through a broken board. They're four shadows outside, tall, moving all together, moving carefully.Crimson Moon guards. I knew their scent, even now that I am

Chapter Nine: At Ashen Hollow

Akira's POV “Ohh, ooh,” Kade groaned as he stepped inside, his arms full of bags, his breathing hard, breathing very hard and fast like he had run the whole way. Sweat was shimmering on his forehead under the low lit light bulb. His left sleeves were torn up to his shoulders, and his jacket hung crooked. “Don't you miss me?” He asked. He dropped the bags in his hand, and dust puffed up everywhere. “I think it took you long enough, you missed the most important part.” Roan said, without looking away from the window. “You don't know what I suffered,” he wipes his sweat with his fingers, “I had to dodge five patrols on my way here.” I sat straight up on the crate, my stomach turned at his words. My fingers dug into the woods. “Then, I think we should move from this place,” I said, my voice was still low, but this time steady.Ronan turned, his eyes flicked over me, checking for wounds. “We are going to use two hours to get to Ashen Hollow, if we are to go by foot.” He paused for a

Chapter Ten: My Mother's Killer, My New Mate

Akira's POV I couldn't believe what's happening to me. My breath caught short.My mother's killer saved me to kill me again. My happiness will be caught short.The words echoed in my ears like a hot oil, I pressed my back against the tree trunk behind. It was sharp enough, scraping my back through the shirt. My legs trembled, but I don't think it was not from the cold. It was from something different, from the rage building up inside me so fast that my vision blurred. The heat inside me exploded. It was not the normal silent anymore or bumbling. It was like a wildfire eating dry grass. Ronan was still facing the old man, his shoulders rigid, he clenched his fist so tight that knuckles pumped white. The old man leaned on a brown thick cane, his smile thin, yellow teeth in fog light. “She heard everything we say” he murmured slowly, his voice barely above a whisper. His voice was like dry leaves scraping the stone. Ronan spun immediately, his eyes widened, that was the first time
