Chapter 11: The Ruthless Alpha's Rule

The morning sun did not bring warmth to the Nightfang Citadel; it brought a cold, sharpened clarity. While the lower village buzzed with the impossible news of the Luna’s return, the upper heights of the fortress became a hunting ground.Kael Nightfang had not slept. He had spent the dawn hours in the bathhouse, scrubbing the mountain’s grime and the emerald ichor of the Wraiths from his skin. But as he donned his heavy leather tunic and the silver-trimmed mantle of his office, he didn't feel like a man restored. He felt like a wolf circling a cornered prey.He walked into the Great Hall, his boots echoing like a death knell on the stone. The Council of Elders was already gathered, their faces pale. Beside them stood the Iron-Claw delegation, led by Seraphina’s brother, Lucian.Kael didn't take his throne. He stood in the center of the room, the Alpha aura radiating from him in suffocating waves."Five years ago," Kael began, his voice low and dangerous, "I was told that the strength

Chapter 12: A Child Who Smells Like Him

The air in the training courtyard of the Nightfang Citadel was crisp, smelling of morning frost and the metallic tang of whetstones. It was a space usually reserved for the elite—the warriors who had survived a dozen border skirmishes and the harsh winters of the north.Today, it was empty, save for three figures.Kael stood with his arms crossed, his shadow stretching long across the stone. He had shed his formal furs, wearing only a simple training tunic that showed the jagged scars of the mountain battle. Opposite him stood Aeron.The boy looked tiny against the backdrop of the massive obsidian walls. He was dressed in a miniature version of the pack’s scout gear, though his mother had insisted on lining the leather with soft rabbit fur to keep out the chill."Close your eyes, Aeron," Kael said, his voice dropping into the low, resonant rumble he used for instruction. "Stop trying to see with your human eyes. They are a filter. They show you only the surface. Feel the pulse of the

Chapter 13: Crossing into Enemy Territory

The march toward the Standing Stones was not a journey; it was a slow-motion collision.Three hundred of the Nightfang’s finest warriors moved through the Whispering Canyon, their paws muffled by the thick carpet of autumn needles. Above them, the sky was a bruised violet, heavy with the promise of a storm that had been brewing since the moment Aeron drew his first breath.Kael rode at the head of the column on a massive war-horse, though he spent most of his time shifted into his black-furred Alpha form, scouting the ridgelines. Ariyah traveled in the center, flanked by Bastien and Elodie. She refused the comfort of a carriage, riding a mountain-bred mare with Aeron perched in front of her.The boy was unusually quiet. He watched the trees with an intensity that made Ariyah’s skin crawl."The trees are holding their breath, Mama," Aeron whispered, his hand gripping the mare’s mane."They’re just resting for the winter, Aeron," she lied, her eyes scanning the jagged limestone cliffs a

Chapter 14: The Alpha's First Suspicion

The Standing Stones rose out of the mist like the teeth of a buried god. Each pillar was thirty feet of jagged granite, etched with runes that predated the first Alpha’s howl. This was the Hallowed Zero—the only place in the realm where pack laws were void and the ancient weight of the Moon Goddess’s presence was still heavy enough to crush the breath from a liar’s lungs.As the remnants of the Nightfang column entered the circle, the air changed. The static of the pack-link, already frayed by the desertion at the river, died completely. Here, Kael was no longer the Alpha of a territory; he was merely a wolf standing before his judges.Waiting for them were the High Inquisitors.They were three figures cloaked in robes of unspun white wool, their faces hidden by masks carved from the bone of Great Alphas. Behind them stood a sea of warriors—the combined strength of the Shadow-Stream, Stone-Back, and Iron-Claw packs. Thousands of eyes tracked the small, battered group as they came to a
