The King's trial

Chapter Twenty-TwoThe King's TrialThe underground passage stretched endlessly before them.Silver torches burned along the walls, casting pale light across ancient stone.Ariana walked at the front of the group.The glowing mark on her wrist had not stopped shining since they entered the hidden section of the palace.Every step seemed to pull her deeper into a place she somehow remembered and didn't remember at the same time.Beside her, Kael remained alert.His eyes constantly scanned the corridor.After everything they had faced recently, nobody trusted quiet places anymore.Especially not ancient royal ruins."This place feels strange," Ronan muttered.Lucien glanced at him."Strange how?"Ronan scratched his beard."Like someone's watching us."Several warriors immediately looked around.Nothing moved, nothing appeared.Yet Ariana understood exactly what he meant.The palace felt alive.As though it knew they were here.As though it had been waiting.For her, for Orion, for the

The voice in the darkness

Chapter Thirty-OneThe Voice in the DarknessThe chamber stood frozen.The Moon Crown hovered above the throne, bathing the ruins in silver light.Beneath the shattered floor, darkness churned like a living thing.The enormous red eyes of the Shadow Wolf glowed from the abyss.The ancient voice of the Crown still echoed through the chamber."Seal the Shadow.""Or claim its power."Ariana stared at the darkness.Her answer came immediately."We seal it."Malrik laughed.The sound bounced off the ruined walls."Of course you would."Ariana turned toward him."You think I'm going to trust something locked beneath a kingdom for centuries?""No."The warlord smiled."I think you're making a decision without knowing the truth."Kael stepped beside her."We've heard enough truth from you."The Alpha King's voice was cold.Malrik didn't seem bothered.Instead, he pointed toward the abyss."Then ask it."Silence followed.The suggestion should have sounded ridiculous.Yet nobody dismissed it.

The Queen's secret

Chapter Thirty-TwoThe Queen's SecretThe chamber exploded with voices.Questions, accusations and disbelief.Everyone was speaking at once.Everyone except Selene.The Queen stood perfectly still.Tears filled her eyes.Her hands trembled at her sides.And that silence terrified Ariana more than anything else.Because if the Shadow Wolf was lying, her mother would have denied it immediately.She would have fought back.She would have called it a monster and told everyone not to listen.Instead...She looked guilty."Ariana."Selene's voice cracked.The sound made Ariana's stomach twist."No."The single word left Ariana's mouth before she could stop it.The Queen froze.Ariana stared at her.For years she had searched for answers.For years she had been told half-truths and secrets.Every time she discovered one truth, another lie appeared behind it.She was tired, so tired."Tell me he's lying."Silence.The chamber became so quiet that even the distant groaning of the ruins could b

The Name of the Traitor

Chapter Thirty-ThreeThe Name of the TraitorSilence settled over the royal chamber, not the peaceful kind.The heavy kind that pressed against every soul inside the ancient ruins.Seraphina's words refused to fade."The killer was someone he loved."Nobody dared to speak.Ariana looked from Seraphina to her mother, searching for someone, anyone ,to deny it.No one did.Selene stood motionless, her face drained of color. The proud queen who had survived imprisonment, betrayal, and the destruction of her kingdom suddenly looked like a woman carrying a burden too heavy to bear.Ariana took a slow step toward her."Tell me she's lying."Selene's lips parted.Nothing came out.The silence answered louder than words ever could.Orion's voice cut through the room."Mother."There was no anger in the way he said it.Only disappointment."You promised that when we found each other again, there would be no more lies."Selene lowered her eyes."I did.""Then keep your promise."A tear slipped d

The judgement of the crown

Chapter Thirty-FourThe Judgment of the CrownNobody spoke.The Shadow Wolf's final words lingered inside the royal chamber like smoke refusing to disappear."The one who ordered his death is standing before you."Every gaze settled on Malrik.The warlord remained perfectly still. His confident smile had vanished, replaced by an expression that revealed nothing.Ariana stepped forward."You ordered my father's murder?"Malrik answered with a shrug."I removed a king who stood in my way."His voice carried no regret."As long as Alaric lived, the northern kingdoms would never bow to me. He believed peace could unite the packs."A dry laugh escaped Malrik."Peace creates weak rulers."Kael's fingers tightened around the hilt of his sword."And murder creates cowards."Malrik met his eyes without flinching."I've been called worse."Before Kael could close the distance between them, the Moon Crown released another wave of silver light.The chamber trembled.Ancient symbols ignited across

The Blood Oath

Chapter Thirty-FiveThe Blood OathThe chamber remained wrapped in silence.Nobody spoke after the Shadow Wolf's final words."The poison came from my blood."The sentence lingered in the air like smoke after a fire.Ariana looked from the creature beneath the ruins to the shattered floor beneath her feet.Questions crowded her mind.If the poison came from the Shadow Wolf...Who had taken its blood?Who had carried it into the palace?More importantly...Who had dared to use it against the king?Lucien slowly lowered his sword."I prayed that secret died with the kingdom."The Shadow Wolf laughed."Secrets always return."Kael stepped beside Ariana.He didn't speak.He simply stood close enough that she knew she wasn't facing the nightmare alone.She glanced at him briefly.For the first time since entering the underground palace, the constant weight pressing on her thoughts eased.Only a little.But enough.Malrik noticed.His smile returned."Even now, the Alpha King refuses to lea

Alpha Against Darkness

Chapter Thirty-SixAlpha Against DarknessThe collision echoed through the underground kingdom like thunder.Stone pillars shuddered.Ancient dust drifted from the ceiling.Kael and Malrik crashed into one another with enough force to send a shockwave racing across the chamber.The royal guardians planted their weapons against the floor to keep their balance.Several warriors were thrown backward.Ariana never took her eyes off the battle.The two wolves rolled across the cracked stone floor before separating.Kael landed first.His massive black wolf lowered into a fighting stance, golden eyes fixed on his opponent.Malrik rose more slowly.Dark mist seeped from the crimson markings covering his body.It curled around him like living smoke.The Shadow Wolf watched from beneath the broken floor."You no longer belong to the Moon Goddess."Malrik bared his fangs."I stopped needing her blessings years ago.""You traded them.""I improved them."The Shadow Wolf laughed."No."Its voice

The King's last wish

Chapter Thirty-SevenThe King's Last WishThe moonlit forest stretched as far as Ariana could see.A gentle breeze stirred the silver leaves overhead, carrying a familiar scent she couldn't quite place. It reminded her of home. Not the pack where she had grown up believing she was unwanted, but somewhere much older. Somewhere buried beneath years of forgotten memories.The man standing beneath the white tree smiled softly.Time had left no mark on him.His royal cloak rested neatly over polished silver armor, and the crown resting on his head gleamed beneath the moonlight.His silver eyes never left Ariana.They were the same eyes she saw every morning whenever she looked into a mirror.Only kinder, full of warmth and full of love."My little moon," he repeated.Ariana's throat felt dry.She wanted to run toward him.She wanted to ask a thousand questions.She wanted to know why fate had allowed this meeting only after his death.Instead, only one word escaped her lips."Father..."Ki

The moons shield

Chapter Thirty-EightThe Moon's ShieldSelene's scream echoed through the ruined palace."Ariana!"The shadow spear tore through the air with terrifying speed.Its black surface rippled like liquid darkness, swallowing every beam of silver light that dared touch it. Wherever it passed, the ancient symbols carved into the floor dimmed, as though the weapon carried a curse powerful enough to silence even the Moon Crown.Orion moved first.He threw himself toward his sister without a second thought.The spear struck him before he could reach her.A burst of silver and black light exploded across the chamber.The force hurled Orion several feet through the air.He crashed into the foot of the ancient throne, his sword skidding across the floor."Orion!" Selene cried.Blood spread across his shoulder where the spear had grazed him before shattering against the Moon Crown's protective light.He pushed himself upright with visible effort."I'm... fine."Nobody believed him.The wound was unl

The Keeper of the first temple

Chapter Thirty-NineThe Keeper of the First TempleThe voice drifted through the hidden passage.Old enough to carry the weight of forgotten centuries."I've waited twenty years, Princess."No one moved.The air inside the chamber seemed to grow heavier.Even the torches lining the walls flickered as though an unseen force had entered the ruins.Ariana tightened her grip around the crescent pendant."Who's there?"No answer came.Only the faint echo of footsteps rising from the darkness below.Kael immediately stepped in front of Ariana.His wolf disappeared in a flash of golden light, leaving him once again in human form. Fresh wounds covered his arms and shoulders, but he ignored every one of them."You stay behind me."Ariana frowned."I've hidden behind people long enough.""You aren't hiding."He kept his eyes fixed on the staircase."I'm making sure you live long enough to finish this."Before Ariana could answer, Lucien slowly dropped to one knee.The unexpected movement caught
