All Chapters of When the moon fell: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

A few hours later, Kael let out a tired sigh and sat up from the bed.“I guess it’s time.”Nova looked over at him.“Time for what?”He ran a hand through his hair before answering.“I have to tell Xavier that Ava is dead.”Nova frowned.“He’s still here?”Kael nodded.“Yeah. Half of his warriors were injured during the attack. They’re recovering, but Xavier won’t leave until every member of his pack is able to travel.”Nova was quiet for a moment before asking, “How do you think he’s going to take it?”Kael let out a slow breath.“I honestly don’t know.”He looked down at his hands.“Ava was his sister. No matter what she did, that’s still a hard thing to hear.”Nova lowered her gaze.“I never wanted to kill her.”“I know,” Kael said gently. “But she gave you no choice. She tried to have you kidnapped, then she came after you herself.”Nova nodded but still looked uneasy.“I just hope he believes me.”Kael reached over and took her hand.“Xavier is a good Alpha. He’ll want to hear th

The next morning, Nova stretched and smiled as she instinctively snuggled closer to Kael, resting her head against his chest. Memories from the night before flashed through her mind, making her cheeks burn. She buried her face against him, hoping he wouldn’t notice her blushing. “You’re awake,” her Lycan said with an amused chuckle. “Unfortunately… yes.” “You don’t sound very unfortunate.” Nova smiled to herself. “Can you blame me?” Her Lycan laughed. “Not at all. Our mate is very comfortable.” Nova rolled her eyes. “You are impossible.” “And you’re happy.” Before Nova could come up with a comeback, she felt an arm tighten around her waist. Kael hadn’t opened his eyes yet. He simply pulled her a little closer. “Trying to sneak away?” he mumbled, his voice still thick with sleep. Nova laughed softly. “I wasn’t going anywhere.” A sleepy smile crossed Kael’s face. “Good.” He finally opened his eyes and looked down at her. “Morning.” “Morning,” Nova replied, smiling

The three of them made their way through the compound toward the front gate. As they approached, Xavier and the remaining members of his pack were already gathered, their bags packed and ready for the trip home. When Xavier spotted them, he smiled. “Looks like you made it.” Kael returned the smile and extended his hand. “Safe travels.” Xavier clasped it firmly. “You too.” He glanced at Nova. “Take care of yourself.” Nova smiled. “I will.” Xavier nodded. “And don’t let him boss you around too much.” Nova laughed. “No promises.” Kael rolled his eyes. “Traitor.” Xavier chuckled before turning serious. “I’ll start reaching out to the neighboring packs as soon as I get home. If I hear anything about unusual Hollowfang activity or missing packs, you’ll be the first to know.” Kael nodded. “I’ll do the same from here.” The two Alphas exchanged one last nod. Xavier then looked back at Nova. “And Nova…” She met his gaze. “Thank you for telling me the truth about Ava.”

Within minutes, the courtyard was filled with warriors.Some stood in human form while others remained shifted, their wolves pacing impatiently. The mood was tense. Everyone knew Rylan had been taken, and no one intended to leave him behind.Kael stood at the front with a large map spread across the hood of one of the patrol vehicles.“Listen up,” he called.The courtyard fell silent.“We’re going after Rylan.”A chorus of growls answered him.“But we’re not rushing in blindly.”He pointed to the area where the scouts had been attacked.“This is where they lost him.”He looked around at his warriors.“Whoever took him had Hollowfangs under their control. Expect an organized attack, not a mindless one.”Several warriors exchanged uneasy looks.Nova stood quietly beside Kael, watching everyone.Kael’s phone rang.He answered immediately.“Mason.”Alpha Mason’s voice came through the speaker.“I’ve already got patrols searching my borders.”Kael nodded.“I wanted to keep you informed. Th

The stranger lowered his hand.Every Hollowfang charged at once.The forest erupted into chaos.Kael shifted instantly, leading the charge with Alpha Mason close behind. Warriors crashed into Hollowfangs from every direction. Teeth snapped, claws slashed, and growls echoed through the trees.At first, it looked like they were holding their own.Then the stranger moved.He didn’t shift.He simply stepped forward.A Black Hollow warrior lunged at him.The stranger caught him by the throat and threw him several yards into a tree.Another wolf attacked from behind.Without even looking, the stranger drove an elbow into the wolf’s head before sending him tumbling across the ground.Alpha Mason charged next.The stranger sidestepped him with ease and slammed a fist into his ribs, sending the Alpha rolling through the dirt.Kael growled.He’s too fast.His wolf launched.The stranger smiled.“Better.”Kael hit him full force, driving him backward.For a brief second, it looked like Kael had
