The attack came before dawn.Silent, precise, deadly.The sound of screaming woke me up.Not loud, cut off too quickly.My eyes snapped open, heart already racing before my mind caught up. Something was wrong terribly wrong. The kind of wrong that didn’t wait, didn’t hesitate.My instincts surged forward.Danger.Real danger.I was out of bed in seconds, bare feet hitting the cold stone floor as I shoved the door open. The hallway was empty, but the air felt… off. Heavy. Like something had passed through and stripped it of life.A door down the corridor creaked open.Azrael stepped out, already dressed, already alert.Of course he was.Our eyes met for half a second and that was enough.Stay behind me, he ordered, his voice low, controlled.Not happening, I shot back, already moving past him.A flicker of irritation crossed his face but it vanished just as quickly. There was no time to argue.We ran.Through the halls.Down the steps.Out into the open courtyard.And the moment we cro

I felt it before I saw it, that same cold presence.Watching, waiting.It didn’t belong to the forest. The trees knew it too their leaves barely moved, their branches stiff like they were bracing for something they couldn’t stop. Even the wind had gone quiet, like it didn’t want to touch whatever was out there.I stepped out into the forest alone.I didn’t tell Azrael. Didn’t tell anyone.Because deep down i knew it wasn’t here to kill me.Not yet.Each step I took felt deliberate, like I was walking toward something inevitable. My wolf paced beneath my skin, restless but not panicked. Alert. Curious.That alone told me everything I needed to know.This wasn’t a hunt.This was something else.You came, the creature said from the shadows.Its voice didn’t echo. It didn’t need to. It carried low, controlled, almost… calm.I crossed my arms, forcing myself to look bored instead of on edge. You talk too much for something sent to kill me.It stepped forward. For the first time, I saw it c

Dawn came with blood.Not the kind spilled in battle not yet. This was older and heavier.The kind that soaked into the ground before a single strike was made, as if the land itself already knew what was coming… and had accepted it.The borderlands stretched wide and broken beneath a gray sky, the horizon lined with not more than hundreds of wolves.They stood in clusters, shifting uneasily, their breaths visible in the cold morning air. Power pressed from every direction, thick and suffocating, a silent storm waiting to break.Shadow Moon stood behind us steady, unyielding.But they weren’t alone. Other packs had come.Some for loyalty. Some for curiosity.Some for the simple, brutal promise of power.Because war didn’t just draw soldiers. It drew opportunists.And at the front of them all.Not Kael.Selene.That surprised me, but only for a second. Then I saw her eyes.Cold. Calculated. Ambitious. Not grieving. Not loyal. Not even angry.She wasn’t here for Kael. She was here for he

The sky split and tore open.A jagged fracture ripped across the heavens, violent and absolute, as if something far beyond this world had forced its way through by sheer will alone. Silver light poured through the opening blinding, endless, swallowing the battlefield in a glow that didn’t feel warm or holy.It felt heavy. Ancient. Unforgiving.Every wolf dropped. Instinct. Fear. Reverence.Bodies hit the ground almost in unison, heads bowed low, submission etched into every line of their forms. Even the strongest among them the warriors who feared nothing couldn’t stand against the pressure of that presence.Even the battlefield itself seemed to bow.The trees leaned, their branches trembling. The cracked earth settled as if trying to mend itself under her gaze. The air thickened, charged with something vast and immovable.I didn’t.My legs remained locked. My head stayed high.My heart pounded, but not from fear. Not entirely.Something else burned in my chest something stubborn, som

The battlefield returned in a violent flash of silver light.One second, there was nothing but the endless void of the Goddess’s trial.The next, war crashed back into existence around me.Smoke curled through the air.The earth was split apart from battle.Blood stained the ground beneath hundreds of wolves frozen in place.Claws remained half-raised. Growls died in throats.Even the wind seemed to stop moving.Everything paused.Waiting.Because the Moon Goddess stood between both sides of the battlefield like judgment itself.And this time, everyone listened.Silver light surrounded her form, glowing so brightly it painted the battlefield in pale moonlight despite the dark sky above us. No wolf dared move. Not enemies. Not allies.Fear and reverence held them still.It is done, the Goddess said.Her voice rolled across the battlefield effortlessly.Not loud. Not forced. But impossible to ignore.My chest tightened as her gaze shifted across the wolves before finally settling on Kae
