Romans & histoires Shadow Moon Ranch

Smirk sharp as shattered crystal. “Didn’t I give you one just as grand last week? What’s there to envy?” His fingers tightened on her waist, backing her against the wrought-iron pergola draped in jasmine. “Play your part. Don’t slip around Lena. Everything she has? You’ll have it too.” Now I remember. Five nights ago, crimson meteors streaked across New York’s southern skyline, a blood-magic spectacle. He’d texted: “Clan emergency. Working late.”

The full moon hung like a bleeding wound in the sky, bathing the Shadowthorn ritual grounds in crimson light. Aria’s heart hammered against her ribs as Alpha Kael Voss circled her on the raised stone platform, his golden eyes locked on hers with raw, predatory hunger. The entire pack watched,hundreds of wolves in human form, their breaths visible in the chill night air. Tonight was the Mating Ritual. Tonight, the Moon Goddess would decide. Kael stopped behind her. His massive frame radiated heat. One large hand slid around her throat, tilting her head back against his bare chest. The other gripped her hip, fingers digging into the thin white ceremonial gown that barely covered her.

His thumbs brushed away my tears. "Then let's do this right," he said. "No more walls. No more holding back. Just us." "Just us," I agreed. That night, the Shadow Clan attacked again. We were in the Red Moon pack house when the alarms sounded. Guards shouted. Wolves shifted and rushed toward the border. "They're here!" Beta John burst into the room. "Shadow Clan. At least twenty of them. They're targeting the healers' quarters." Gray and I ran outside. The night was dark. No moon visible through the heavy clouds.

"Where do we go, Luna? Our territory is tainted by the Rite. The spirits of the forest will turn from us now that the Alpha bloodline is gone." Audrey looked at the horizon, where the last sliver of the sun was disappearing. "We move toward the dawn," she replied, her gaze shifting toward the Silver Pack’s mountain borders. "The Moon Shadow name is buried tonight. From this hour on, we are the Solar Eclipse—a union of shadow and light. We will take the strength of the mountains and the wisdom of the moon."

★𝕺𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖎𝖆 The air at Shadowfen Pass thrummed with an almost unbearable tension. It was a narrow canyon, a natural choke point where the Silvermoon Pack had strategically positioned its warriors. Ancient trees, their branches laden with centuries of snow and whispers, loomed on either side, casting deep shadows. The scent of fear was sharp, mingling with the metallic tang of blood already on the wind from nervous nicks, and the rich, damp earth.

Shadow saw that she isn't backing off and smirked. 🌬️Those gifts...🌬️ Shadow nod at the gifts packed at the corner... 🌬️ Will be burned down by the angry villagers... your shrine will be destroyed by them🌬️ Ayanna shivered at such thought of her shrine going down.. 🌬️But if you follow up my lead... Your other Daughter won't die... she will be born with Alhambra 🌬️ Shadow's word made Ayanna's ear to perch up. " My Other Daughter?"

“Is that you, Mariah? “I came to find you… Is that okay?” That night, Chandler returned home very late. Pauline, already tipsy, rushed in while Chandler took care of parking the car. Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream pierced the air from inside the villa. Chandler was terrified. He didn’t even lock the car door before rushing into the villa. He immediately spotted the figure swaying beneath the locust tree. My mom had committed suicide. No matter how I pleaded with her, it was futile.

“Signal Ghost. Tell him to use the Pennsylvania decoy route. Make it look like an ambush.” Zayn types quickly. “Done.” The team we hired is ex-military—mercenaries with no allegiance beyond money. I don’t trust easily, but Ghost’s crew are ghosts for a reason. No trails. No names. No mess. As the second feed flickers online, we watch headlights appear in a secluded part of the Appalachian highway. Two semi-trucks, loaded with Dante’s merchandise. A black SUV intercepts them. Tires screech. Men shout.

I really do hope she likes her birthday gift. It was special to me, my mother had given me the pendant to give to my fated but that never happened. I started walking towards the other end of the pack house to reach the Alpha's office. Roman has been acting really weird towards Shadow. I don't know what he has up his sleeve but me and my wolf Zaine don't like it one bit. We've grown overly protective of Shawdow in these past years. I enter through the pack house doors and make my way upstairs taking two steps at a time.
