The blood pact

*Chapter eleven.The tent exploded.Not with fire. With sound. My scream, Victor’s roar, and the sound of 10 wolves drawing weapons all at once. Brandon stood in the doorway, sword in hand. Behind him, the entire Black Pack camp was waking up. Horns. Shouts. The thunder of paws hitting dirt.And I was standing there holding the other half of the Moon Mirror like an idiot.“Layla. Put it down,” Brandon said. His voice was flat. Dead. The Brandon I knew would have been begging. This Brandon looked like a stranger. “Give it to me. I can end this without anyone else dying.”Victor moved before I could breathe. He was fast even while cursed. One second he was behind me, the next he was between me and Brandon, a blade in his hand that I’d never seen before. Silver. Runic. “Touch her,” Victor said, “and I’ll show you what an Alpha King does to traitors.”Brandon didn’t flinch. “You’re already dying, Victor. Can’t you feel it? The curse is in your heart. You have maybe 2 days.” He

Coronation or Funeral

Chapter Twelve We didn’t sleep for 3 days. Victor was getting worse. By day 2 the black veins reached his jaw. By day 3 they were crawling up his cheek like spider webs. The healers couldn’t do anything. The Elders wouldn’t look at him. “Alpha,” Elder Marcus said on the morning of the full moon. “The packs are here. All 13. They’re demanding the ceremony start at moonrise. Or they attack.” Victor was sitting in his throne room. Shirtless. The black was ugly against his skin. But his eyes were still gold. Still sharp. “Then we start at moonrise,” he said. I was standing next to his throne. The Moon Mirror was on a pillow between us. Whole. Quiet. Waiting. “Victor,” I said when the Elder left. “You don’t have to do this. We can run. We can find another way—” “There is no other way,” he cut me off. He grabbed my hand. His skin was cold. “Layla. If I die tonight, you run. You take Zoe and you run to the human lands. You never come back.” “I’m not leaving you.”

Brandon’s Offer

*Chapter Thirteen Midnight. The Ironclaw mansion was quiet for the first time in a week. No war drums. No shouting. Just the sound of rain on the roof and Victor’s breathing. Bad breathing. I sat next to his bed and watched the black veins crawl up his neck. They’d stopped after the coronation, but they hadn’t gone away. The Moon Mirror was on the table beside us. Whole. Silent. Useless. “Stop staring at me like I’m already dead,” Victor said without opening his eyes. “I’m not—” “You are.” He reached out and found my hand in the dark. His fingers were cold. “Layla. If I go, you need to promise me something.” “Don’t.” “Promise me you’ll live. You’ll rule. You won’t let Elliot or Hannah win.” I squeezed his hand until my knuckles went white. “I promise I won’t let you go.” A knock. Soft. Zoe poked her head in. “Alpha. There’s someone at the gate. Alone. No weapons.” “Who?” Victor sat up immediately. Too fast. He winced. “Brandon.” My stomach drop

The Ritual Gone Wrong

*Chapter fourteen: The Priest ruins smelled like old blood and rain. Broken pillars. Cracked altars. And in the center, a circle carved into the stone with symbols I didn’t recognize. Brandon was already there. He’d drawn the circle. He’d laid out the candles. The Moon Mirror sat in the middle, glowing faintly. “You came,” he said when he saw us. “We came,” Victor answered. He looked worse in the daylight. The black had reached his eye. Brandon explained the ritual while he worked. “We stand in the triangle. Mirror in the center. The volunteer cuts their palm and bleeds onto the Mirror. Then we all say the words. The curse transfers.” “Which words?” I asked. “Words my mother taught me.” He handed me a piece of paper. Victor took it from me and read it. His face went hard. “This is a binding spell. Not a transfer.” “It’s both,” Brandon said. “The curse moves, and the new vessel is bound to protect the Alpha King for life.” He looked at me. “Are you sure, Layla?”

Hunting the Monster

Chapter : fifteen Victor wouldn’t let me go to the ruins alone. “Absolutely not,” he said, already pulling on his jacket. The black was gone from his skin, but he still looked pale. Tired. “If that thing is Brandon, he’ll kill you before he recognizes you.” “If that thing is Brandon,” I shot back, “then he needs me.” We’d been arguing for an hour. Zoe stood by the door, pretending she wasn’t listening. “Alpha,” she said finally. “The scouts found him. Priest ruins. He’s chained. But the chains won’t hold much longer.” Victor and I looked at each other. “Let’s go,” we said at the same time. The ride to the ruins was silent. Victor drove. I watched the trees blur past. Through the bond I felt it. His fear. Not of Brandon. Of me. Of me doing something stupid to save him. “You can’t take the curse,” Victor said suddenly, breaking the silence. “I didn’t say I would.” “You didn’t have to.” He glanced at me. “I can feel you thinking it.” “Then you should also fe

Luna Coronation

Chapter fifteen: The light was blinding. White. Gold. Black. All mixing together. Brandon was screaming under my hand. Victor was yelling my name. And the Mirror... the Mirror was drinking everything. The black smoke left Brandon’s body in streams and poured into the Mirror. Then out of the Mirror and into me. Cold. So cold. Like ice in my veins. I hit the ground. “LAYLA!” Victor was there in a second. Holding me. “What did you do? What did you do?!” “I... I took it,” I managed. My teeth were chattering. “It’s... it’s in me now.” Brandon collapsed. The black receded from his fur. He was human again. Naked. Shaking. But human. “Layla...” he whispered. Victor looked at him. Then at me. Then he picked me up. “We’re going home. Now.” But we didn’t make it. Because as we reached the car, the horns started. All 13 packs. At the gates of Ironclaw. And it was full moon night. “They’re here for the coronation,” Zoe said. “Or for war.” Vic

Eve

Chapter sixteen: The war council never happened. Because Eve came to us first. We were in Victor's room. He was trying to get the crown off me, but it wouldn't budge. It was made of light, not metal. "It likes you," he said, frustrated, his hands in my hair. "Or it hates you," I teased, but my chest was still tight. Then the window shattered. Not from wind. From inside. The Moon Mirror - my halo - cracked down the middle. Victor shoved me behind him in one move, blade out, growl rattling the walls. Standing in the broken window was a woman. She looked exactly like me. Same height. Same black hair. Same face I saw in the mirror every morning. But where my eyes were brown, hers were pure black. No white. No iris. Just endless night. And on her forehead, a crown too. But hers was made of black thorns. "Hello, Layla," she said. Her voice was mine, but layered, like two people speaking at once. "Finally. I've been waiting eighteen years to meet me." Victor sna

The Wolf I Never Had

Chapter Eighteen Eve was gone, but the room still smelled like rot and ozone. The Moon Mirror lay on the floor, cracked straight down the middle. Dead. No hum. No light. Victor was still on his knees, breathing hard, shadows fading from his throat where she had held him. "Are you hurt?" I dropped next to him, hands on his face. He caught my hands. "I'm fine. Layla - that thing is not your wolf." "It is," I whispered. "Didn't you hear her? Same face. Same voice. Father and the Priests - they split me at birth. Light and shadow. That's why I was wolfless. My wolf wasn't missing. She was taken." Victor's silver eyes flashed. "A wolf doesn't try to make a deal to become a Goddess. A wolf protects." "Maybe she tried to protect me and no one came," I said. He stared at me. Then pulled me hard against his chest. "We're not saving her," he said into my hair. "We're ending her." I didn't answer. The crown on my head was flickering badly now, light sputtering like a dying

The truth about my mom

Chapter Nineteen “You are my Luna. My Vessel. My…” Victor stopped. He looked at me like he was afraid to finish the sentence. I knew what he wanted to say. “My home,” he whispered. For one second, everything was quiet. Then the black eye burned. I dropped to my knees. “Layla!” Images flashed through my mind. The Priest Temple. A woman running through the snow. Two babies crying. A golden light. A black shadow. And my mother's voice. “Take Layla. Please. Leave Eve with me.” I gasped. “Eve…” Victor grabbed my shoulders. “What did you see?” “My mother.” Zoe stepped closer. “Your mother?” I nodded. “She was there. At the Temple.” Zoe's face changed. “That can't be.” “Why?” “Because your mother was never found after the night of the ritual.” I stared at her. “You said the Temple was destroyed.” “It was.” “Then how did I see her?” Zoe didn't answer. A loud howl suddenly came from outside. Victor reached for his sword. Another howl answered. Then another

The woman in the mountain

*Chapter 20 Hannah yanked Brandon's chain. "Kneel, pet." Brandon didn't kneel. He looked at me, black eyes pleading. "Don't come." Hannah kicked him. Hard. He fell. Something in me snapped. The black in my eyes turned to fire. The ash field exploded around me. "You touch him again and I rip your throat out, sister." Hannah smiled - that perfect, beautiful, evil smile that had stolen everything from me since birth. "You can't. You love me. Weak little Layla." Victor moved before I did. One second he was next to me, next his hand was around Hannah's throat, lifting her off the ground. Hannah choked, but laughed. Black smoke poured from her mouth. "Eve!" Victor roared. Eve stepped out from behind the second pillar. Same face as me. But now wearing Brandon's blood on her hands. "Let her go, Alpha King. She's my new favorite toy." Victor dropped Hannah. She fell, gasping, but her eyes stayed black. "Brandon," I ran to him, cut the chain with my claws - claws I
