183 - WITCH'S TRAP

The sudden, sharp spike of raw panic hits me through the mate bond before I even hear her gasp.I drop the map I was reviewing with Evan and sprint down the long stone corridor. I do not bother slowing down as I reach the northern wing of the fortress. I cross the open threshold leading out to the balcony, my heavy boots sliding slightly on the wet slate.Jaslyn stands near the edge of the overlook, her knuckles turning white as she grips the stone railing. She stares down into the thick, freezing fog clinging to the dark tree line below."Jaslyn," I say, keeping my voice low as I step up right beside her. "What is it?""Something is out there," she whispers, her breath pluming in the freezing air. "It feels like rotting earth."I close my eyes and push my Alpha senses past the heavy stone walls, forcing my awareness down into the valley. At first, there is only the crisp scent of pine and cold rain. Then, the foul, sickening stench of spoiled blood hits the back of my throat. It is a

184 - WAR

The tactical war room lies deep within the mountain stronghold, surrounded by solid rock and reinforced walls. Holographic maps glow above the steel table at its center.The witch’s corrupted blood magic still clings to my skin. Its foul stench burns the back of my throat, a reminder of how close we came to losing everything tonight.I brace myself against the table, fighting the exhaustion weighing on my muscles. Using my White Moon magic to destroy the assassin’s weapon drained more of my reserves than healing the injured wolf in the courtyard. I’m cold, exhausted, and furious.Damien paces across the stone floor, his dark coat dusted with glass from the ruined balcony.“You’re staying here,” he orders, pointing at the holographic map of the northern territory. “This fortress is secure. As long as you remain inside, Vanessa cannot use you to legitimize her claim. She needs your blood, Jaslyn. We deny her the opportunity.”I straighten. “No.”Damien stops and fixes me with a hard sta

185 - SIEGE

We crouch in the wet brush at the edge of the Blackwood estate.The rain finally stopped. A freezing mist hovers over the ground, sticking to the dark tactical gear of my strike team.I stare through the thick trees at my childhood home.Vanessa did not waste a single second after her broadcast. The grounds are crawling with unmarked mercenaries. They wear black combat uniforms and carry heavy military rifles.My father walked right into a trap.Damien left the mountain stronghold an hour ago. He thought he could use his royal authority to secure his loyal guards and stop the political coup before it gained traction.He was wrong. Vanessa’s hired men ambushed him before he even reached the front steps. Now the former King is a hostage inside his own house.I spent my entire life on these grounds. I know every blind spot and every defensive position. Seeing foreign mercenaries occupying my territory makes my blood boil. They set up barricades near the fountain. They parked armored tran

186 - BLOOD SUN

I follow Evan through the narrow space, keeping my head ducked to avoid the low ceiling. Above us, the muffled sounds of gunfire and snarling wolves vibrate through the foundation of the estate.Ryder is doing exactly what he promised. He is drawing every mercenary to the front lawn.We reach a metal ladder leading up to a utility grate. Evan climbs first, pushing the iron grate aside with his shoulder. He pulls himself up into the mansion’s ground-floor corridor and reaches down to help me. I ignore his hand and vault up beside him.The estate is eerily quiet on the inside. The mercenaries abandoned their interior posts to fight the massive Alpha on the grass."The main security hub is down the hall," Evan whispers, checking the corner.We move quickly over the hardwood floors. When we reach the security alcove, Evan bypasses the main console. He types a rapid sequence into the override terminal. The red lockdown lights flashing along the ceiling turn green."Internal cameras are bli

187 - CELLS

I hand the captured mercenary over to Evan."Put him in the holding cells," I order. "Lock him down and keep him isolated. Do not let anyone from the council near him. I will interrogate him when the sun comes up."Evan grabs the mercenary by his tactical vest and drags him away across the ruined grass. The man is still laughing, his face smeared with dirt and blood. He knows exactly what he just did. The threat of the Blood-Sun pack hangs over the estate, a massive, terrifying variable we are unprepared to fight. They are an ancient, brutal faction that respects nothing but violence.I watch Evan disappear around the side of the mansion before turning my attention back to the front gates.Headlights cut through the freezing mist. A line of six black vehicles turns up the main driveway. Their heavy tires crush the debris left over from the mercenary barricades, rolling slowly past the smoking remains of Vanessa's armored transports.Damien steps up beside me. He is bruised, exhausted,

188 WHITE MOON SPEAKS

Marcus’s challenge rings across the ruined lawn, echoing off the stone walls of the estate. He stands in front of Ryder, demanding the crown, using my existence as the excuse to tear the pack apart.Ryder steps forward to answer him.I reach out and grab Ryder’s arm, stopping him. He looks down at me, the Alpha command already radiating from his posture. I shake my head.I do not want Ryder fighting a political war on my behalf. I spent nineteen years having other people decide my fate. I am done letting men argue over what to do with me. Ryder promised to let me make my own choices, and he keeps his word. He steps back, yielding the floor to me.I walk past the Alpha King and face Marcus. I look past the ten elders and address the dozens of pack members, guards, and estate staff gathering around the edges of the lawn."My name is Jaslyn," I say. I speak loudly enough for every wolf on the property to hear. "I am Elora's daughter."Silas scoffs. "We know who you are. You are a threat.

189 - KING'S TRIAL

Marcus strips off his coat and tosses it onto the wet grass.The loyal guards and the surviving elders immediately step back. They form a wide, uneven circle in the ruined front lawn, boxing us in. The freezing rain has faded into a light drizzle, but the ground remains torn up and slick with mud from the mercenary battle.I hand my ruined tactical jacket to Evan.My father steps forward, stopping at the edge of the circle. He looks at my chest. The black, charred burn from the Blood Witch’s whip stretches across my ribs. The flesh is raw and bleeding."You are in no condition to fight a death match," Damien says quietly. "Let me take the challenge. He accused me of treason first.""The challenge was made to the crown," I answer. "I hold the crown."I step into the center of the ring.Silas moves to the edge of the grass to officiate. He looks at Marcus, then at me. "The ancient trial is invoked. Combatants will fight in their human forms. No weapons. No interference from the pack. Th

190 - CROWN SHARED

Evan drags Marcus away across the ruined lawn. The defeated Beta leaves a long trail in the mud, his laughter fading as they round the corner of the mansion.The silence that follows is heavy. The remaining elders stare at the torn grass, processing the reality of the treason.Damien steps into the center of the circle. He looks at Marcus’s blood on Ryder’s hands, then turns to face the council and the gathered guards. The former King stands straight, ignoring the shallow cut on his throat."The Rite of the Eclipse is broken," Damien announces. "Marcus lied to this council. Vanessa sold our borders to the Blood-Sun pack. We do not have time for political debate."Damien turns to Ryder. He doesn't offer a traditional bow, but the shift in his posture is undeniable. He relinquishes his absolute authority."The eastern territories are breached," Damien says quietly. "I cannot lead a fractured army against an enemy this old. The pack needs a King who can unite them on the battlefield."Ry

191 - TWO HEARTBEATS

I stare at the rusted iron crest resting on the tactical table. Evan brought it up from the lawn twenty minutes ago, but the stench of ancient blood still clings to the metal."The Blood-Sun Alpha does not send his personal crest as a threat," Ryder says, tracing the edge of the map. "He sends it as a promise. He is leading the invasion himself."Evan points to a cluster of coordinates near the eastern border. "We have three scout teams tracking their movements. They are advancing slowly, destroying the outer checkpoints, and forcing our people deeper into the territory. They want us boxed in before they strike the estate.""Send the reserve units to the southern ridge," I tell Evan. "If they cut off the main highway, we lose our supply lines."Evan nods, typing the order into his tablet.I reach for my own datapad, but my hand trembles. A sharp, high-pitched ringing starts in my ears. I ignore it. I spent the last six hours using my White Moon magic to heal the guards injured during

192 - HEIRS OF THE MOON

The sound of the two heartbeats fills the small medical room. The rhythmic, overlapping pulses echo from the ultrasound monitor, drowning out the distant shouts of guards mobilizing on the estate grounds outside.I stare at the black-and-white screen. Joy hits me first, a massive, overwhelming surge that makes my inner wolf pace with absolute pride. I am going to be a father. Jaslyn is carrying my children.I look down at her. She lies on the examination bed, staring at the monitor in pure shock. I reach out and squeeze her hand, wanting to pull her into my arms and celebrate.But the joy only lasts a few seconds before a cold, suffocating dread replaces it.The Blood-Sun pack is already inside our borders. Vanessa is with them, and she knows exactly what Jaslyn is. They want to tear this territory apart, and now my mate is carrying the next generation of the White Moon bloodline. If Vanessa finds out about this pregnancy, she will not just want Jaslyn’s blood for a political ritual t
