Lion's Blade Task Force Novels & Stories

Only the sudden weight of steel sliding through flesh and bone, exactly where the mark burned brightest. The Luna mark broke as the blade pierced it. It was not a sound anyone could hear, but something you felt through the bond—like ice cracking beneath unbearable pressure. Kaelor’s pain tore through me so violently I almost missed my own. His shout spread across the battlefield, raw and broken, and every wolf collapsed where they stood. The light around my body shattered. The power drained from me, sinking into the earth, into the sky, into nothing. I looked down. The blade had gone straight through the mark.

"Oh, I see. Well, you missed a significant discussion. Alpha Blaise has decided to integrate advanced weaponry into our defence strategies. We've decided to use proper weapons for wars instead of relying solely on fangs and claws." "That's a brilliant move. I apologize for missing it." "I believe you're justified," Leo said with a smile, producing a penknife from his pocket and handing it to Erick. "This is Alpha Blaise's gift to us this morning. It should be a constant companion for each warrior." "Alright," Erick accepted the knife and discreetly tucked it into the sheath around his shoe as Leo began to walk away but stopped abruptly. "Oh, I almost forgot. Prepare yourself for tonight; we'

And the crystal dagger on my hand possessed the same crest. “The Balaraw is now officially the Luna’s Blade!” Edith announced and step up the podium with Hadleigh in her arms. And this time, the bitter smile on my lips and the question in my head about the dagger now has a clearer reason. With my free hand, I stretched my hand and carried my blue-eyed little man in my arms. A tear escaped from my eyes as I bent my head to touch Hadleigh’s forehead with mine. “Hence, this is what your father wanted for this thing. And to you, our child, who’ll grow filled with love and courage like a blade.”

"She comes. But Elena, do not leave her side." The task force assembled quickly. My best fighters from the New Haven pack, wolves who knew how to track and fight dirty. Dalton brought selected members from Clearwater Ridge, soldiers loyal to his father's new leadership. Tehila and Elena formed their own unit, Weaver and mentor. Council enforcers led by Blackwood himself rounded out the main force. And Maya, the survivor from Genesis Labs who knew the facility locations better than anyone, joined as our guide despite her visible fear. We split into teams, each investigating a different suspected facility location. The goal was to cover ground fast and communicate any findings immediately.

No order. My wolf snarled inside me. Rogues. And something worse. Leaves rustled ahead. Dark shapes moved between trunks. Not wolves. Not fully. Their steps were uneven like their bones did not fit right under their skin. Leo slowly drew a blade. His shoulders squared, jaw firm. “We are being tested.” I felt the ground tremble under my feet. “They know we are here,” I said. The howling grew louder. Closer. Liam tightened his grip. “Blake. Orders.”

The Blackwatch APCs hummed back online. "Don't let them retreat!" Leo commanded, swiveling the manual CIWS turrets and unleashing a hail of fire into the blinded, stumbling mass of surviving assassins. "Run them down!" Torque yelled, slamming his foot on the accelerator. The Ironhead militia didn't hesitate. The Rat-Rods and APCs surged forward into the blinding neon light of Sector 6, their tires crushing the dropped monomolecular blades and scattering the broken, blinded remnants of the Admin's elite stealth force.

I nodded, agreeing to join them. “Are you alone?” asked one of Felixe’s team members. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t recall his name. “No, I have a small team of snipers waiting for me at Tower Lakes. They have biological weapons to deal with the Flame Hounds.” They gave me looks of appreciation, impressed with me and my foresight. “Great! We’ll make a good team. Hop on, Leandros,” said Felixe. His change in demeanor surprised me, but I boarded their vehicle and we moved towards our destination.

They had told me to go to bed, but how could I close my eyes after what had happened? The phone calls never stopped all night. Different numbers, different voices, different updates. The Blade men were already hunting a name—Rocco Valeri. The bastard who killed Andrew. I sometimes forgot how ruthless and skilled the Blades were—especially with their own enemies. I prayed they found him. But I also knew something. When the Blade family hunts a foe, they don't seek revenge, they seek annihilation. I hadn't even realized I had dozed off until the sound of heavy boots storming into the living room jolted me awake. I sat up sharply, my heart pounding.

Lucas growled at me threateningly, but Alpha Ray stepped in front of me and glared at the Silver Blade Alpha. “She has the right to say whatever the f*ck she wants to say,” he growled back at Lucas with his eyes glinting red, displaying his Alpha strength. “These people are also the witnesses when Thornsnakes pack attacked my turf and killed my first mate. Seeing that cursed mark on Ruby Morgan’s arm, I am now convinced that the ThornSnakes and Silver Blade Pack had been working together, or perhaps Silver Blade had taken over ThornSnakes and had been controlling them to weaken me by murdering my first mate.”
