Mapleshade Warriors Novels & Stories

"Though you came close. Very close, I must say even for you, you are a tough nut to crack." “I am better dead than this…” james stood up, breaking my thoughts, he clapped his hands twice. Suddenly, the shadows in the cave moved. No, not shadows… people dressed in black stepped forward. Ten of them. My body tensed, ready for war again. "Relax," James said, a smile on his face. "I calmed down, they were my shadows, the secret weapon of my pack. my Shadow Warriors. My secret fighters." The warriors bowed to me. Even as a beast, they showed their ultimate respect to their commander.

I walked over to where they were lined up with Aiden following closely behind. "The hour has come, Farell," Ora said. I looked over at my warriors, taking in their anxious but resolute expressions. These were the people I had trained with, fought alongside, and led. Today, they needed more than just a leader; they needed hope. "Nightshade's warriors," I began, my voice loud and clear, and they immediately snapped to attention. "This is what we've been preparing for. Today, we face a challenge unlike any we’ve seen in recent times," I continued. "But remember this: we are Nightshade's Pack. We are the wolves of the shadows, the guardians of our land. And we will defend it with everything we h

Five days since I was forced to train the warriors of the Blue Lily pack to raid our enemies for the fifteenth time. I lay on the ground of the forest, watching the borders of the Moon Crescent pack. The figures of the wolves stationed to guard the borders were stiff in alertness and if it hadn’t been for the light-hearted conversation they held amongst themselves then one would think they knew someone was coming, that we were coming.

Willow. The ship warped instantly out of the earth’s atmosphere, and eight in the face of the crack, taking them all by surprise. Orion grinned and pressed a button. “This is for Zephyr Prime, you bastards!”, he yelled as cannons emerged from all around the ship. They fired simultaneously in burst shots, killing all harbingers in range. They reacted quickly and started attacking the ship from all sides. “You’re up, guys.”, Orion said, and Quinn pulled out his swords. Willow took a deep breath and brought out one of his shards. He had learnt how to put limiters on himself like Tony. The harbingers were closing in now, exposing Zoi, who sat on a throne far behind his army.

“Stay here and hold the line. Await my orders.” The outbreak back home was growing worse by the day, he couldn’t afford to hesitate or waste more time. Without delay, Raven selected nine of his most elite warriors, those he trusted implicitly, and together, they stepped into the white mist that opened a path into the heart of Moonshade Valley. Ten silent figures gradually disappeared into the thick fog, leaving behind a mixture of worried and admiring gazes.

“It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. Ashmoor and Moonshadow both have impressive militaries, but… nothing like this.” And it was true. Moonshadow had one of the larger militaries in the territories, but there were more warriors in this room alone than I had seen even in battle. There were some very young warriors too, perhaps no older than seventeen, and they were battling viciously on one of the mats with a ferocity that even Ashmoor’s most seasoned fighters didn’t possess. It was impressive. And a little frightening, if I was being honest. “Don’t take this the wrong way,” I admitted, “but I didn’t expect a pack in hiding to have such well-trained warriors.”

This is what I was born to do, and this is what I’ll do ‘til my final breath. “When you start with the philosophy shit, I start with the Zs,” Hendrix mocks. “Shut up and focus on the battle. Focus on being a werewolf. Being an Alpha.” Right now, warriors are going to their positions, strategically placed throughout the borders. With their updates through the mind link, I can almost see them, ears pricked, eyes scanning, and nostrils flaring. Ready. Fierce. In the watchtowers, specialized warriors have their wolfsbane dart guns at hand, hoping to knock our enemies out so we can interrogate them later. I shudder internally at the thought of one of those darts piercing my skin, but they’re a ne

Tessa POV The frost crunched under my boots as I stepped into the clearing, golden morning light cascading over the gathered forces like a silent promise. Rows of warriors stood at the ready - Nightshade, Ashmoon, and other allies arrayed side by side, their breath misting in the dawn air. Shifting bodies, sharpened blades. Tension like a taut wire humming through every soul present.

“As I said before, the Golden Leaf is inside a glass box in a warehouse on the other side of the island. Drago told me once that there are one hundred of his warriors stationed around the warehouse, and three hundred inside the warehouse, guarding the glass box. So that’s four hundred warriors. Now to overcome this, I do not intend on taking them out one by one. There’s seven of us after all. What we are going to do is something that will completely take them by surprise. Our three animals here will simply attack the warriors guarding the warehouse. Rachel, you will be on a cliff which is directly above the warehouse. You will shoot your arrows at the warriors. Zak, your role is very importa

I was heading to the courtyard. ​I stepped out into the freezing drizzle. The muddy training yard was a hive of activity. My warriors—the Blackwood Vanguard—were locked in a tight Phalanx formation with the Shadow Legion. They were moving as one massive, impenetrable wall of black iron shields and bristling spears. ​Standing on a wooden crate at the edge of the yard, barking orders through the terrifying bone-white mask, was General Vesh. ​I limped to the edge of the training ring, leaning on my cane. Marcus saw me first. He jogged over, his arm still bound in a sling, his brow furrowed in concern.
