Echoes of the moon Chapter 79
Chapter 79 — Aria's POV The morning sun hadn't even cleared the treetops when I stepped onto the training field. Power thrummed through my veins, different from yesterday — stronger, more focused. My skin practically buzzed with energy, the silvery marks casting subtle patterns on the ground around me. Warriors were already gathering, their eyes fixed on the ethereal glow emanating from my body.“Ready for the power assessment?” Victor called from his monitoring station. The equipment he'd set up looked like something from a sci-fi movie, with screens displaying wavelength patterns I didn't understand and sensors that hummed when I walked past them. “We need baseline readings before you start training.”I nodded, centering myself in the middle of his sensor array. The mate bond hummed in my mind, Kane and Zane's presence steady and strong. It felt different now — more like three streams flowing into one river than separate connections.“We're here,” Kane sent. 'Draw what you need.'“

Chapter 80 — Kane's POV Maya's words wouldn't stop echoing in my head as I paced the war room for what felt like the hundredth time. “Hundreds of them… maybe thousands… we're not ready.” The first hints of dawn were creeping through the windows, painting the tactical maps spread across the tables in shades of gray and pink. I hadn't slept. Couldn't sleep. Not with the weight of what we'd learned pressing down on me. Through our mate bond, I felt Aria's concern pulsing steadily. She was finally resting after the strain of maintaining Maya's link for so long — a rest well-earned after the incredible feat of power she'd displayed. Zane's presence was there too, a quiet strength supporting us both. The three-way connection had grown stronger recently, more integrated, but right now it just meant they could both feel my mounting anxiety. This couldn't wait until morning. I pulled out my phone and sent rapid messages to trusted members. We needed answers, and we needed them now. The fat

Chapter 81 — Aria's POV I couldn't sleep. Kane and Zane's emotions kept pulsing through our mate bond like an anxious heartbeat. Something big went down at that meeting, and the tension was making my skin crawl. I tried counting sheep, meditation, even that weird breathing exercise Elara taught me, but nothing worked. Their worry was too loud in my head.The digital clock on my nightstand glowed 3:47 AM. Great. Another sleepless night.My bedroom door opened, and Zane's familiar scent filled the room. One glance at his face, and I knew. Whatever had happened, it wasn't good. The confident, long-legged stride that could eat up a room was gone, replaced by something heavier, more uncertain.“Spill it,” I said while sitting up and pulling my knees to my chest. “What's got you both so wound up?”Zane ran a hand through his dark hair — never a good sign. “Selene showed up at the meeting.”That got my attention. “Selene? She's been MIA for days.” Her absence hadn't gone unnoticed. “She sa

Chapter 82 — Aria's POV The magical barrier shattered like glass, raining sparkles of power that faded before hitting the ground. My stomach dropped as the first hunters burst through the gap. Holy crap.These weren't the hunters we'd trained for. Their bodies were wrong — limbs too long, muscles bulging in impossible ways. Some had multiple partial shifts, fur, and scales mixed together. Others moved like smoke, barely solid.“All units, maintain formation!” Kane's voice cut through the radio static. “Do not engage individually!”Our warriors snapped into the defensive positions we'd drilled countless times. I sprinted to the command center, magic crackling at my fingertips. Through our mate bond, I felt Kane's focused determination and Zane's calculated readiness.“Mage Squadron Alpha, reinforce the eastern flank!” I grabbed the tactical mic, watching red dots multiply on our monitoring screens. “Beta Team, standby for healing support!”The first clash hit like a thunderclap.

Chapter 83 — Kane's POV I couldn't take my eyes off Aria.The mate bond between us pulsed with her pain — raw, intense waves that made my chest physically ache. She stood frozen, staring at the scene before us. Azrael's claws pressed against her mom's throat, drawing tiny beads of blood that made my wolf snarl with rage.The bastard had timed his attack perfectly. We'd been winning, pushing his forces back, when he suddenly appeared with her mom in his grasp. One look at Aria's face and I knew all our careful battle plans were about to go up in smoke.“Such a touching reunion,” Azrael drawled, his lips curving into that sadistic smile I'd grown to hate. “Mother and daughter, together again. Though perhaps not for long.” His claws pressed deeper, making Catherine wince.Our warriors held their positions, but I could smell their fear and uncertainty. None of us had expected this twist. Through the bond, I felt Zane's growing alarm as he coordinated the medical teams behind our lines. W

Chapter 84 — Aria's POV I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. Where Selene stood moments ago, only darkness remained, swirling like smoke in the wind. The battlefield fell silent, everyone frozen in shock at what we'd just witnessed.The sound of my mother's sob broke through my paralysis. She rushed toward me, her face streaked with tears and blood, stumbling over bodies of fallen warriors. Behind her, Azrael swayed slightly, his usual composure cracking. Something was different about him — wrong in a way I couldn't quite place yet.“Jensen!” I called out, my voice steadier than I felt. The young warrior appeared instantly at my side, blood matting his blonde hair. “Get my mother to safety. Now.”“Aria, no!” Mom grabbed my arm, her fingers digging in desperately. “I won't leave you again! Not after everything-”“Yes, you will.” I hate using commands — hate the way they strip away choice — but I pushed the power into my next words: “Go with Jensen. Stay behind our lines.”Jensen wrapped

Chapter 1 — Aria's POVI saw my reflection in the broken mirror leaning against the wall. My long, dark hair is all tangled, and my violet eyes look scared, as they usually do. I'm short for a wolf, just over five feet tall, with a body that some might think is delicate. But I know the truth — I'm just weak.“Nyx,” I whisper to my wolf. She stirs within me, a presence both comforting and frustrated. Nyx is everything I'm not — strong, fierce, and unafraid. Sometimes I wonder if she got stuck with the wrong human.Sighing, I quickly braid my hair and pull on a threadbare t-shirt and jeans. No point in trying to look nice. No one would notice.I quietly leave my room, trying not to make any noise. The pack house is quiet at this time, but I know better than to wake anyone. The last time I accidentally woke someone, I got a black eye that took weeks to heal.The kitchen is my first stop. It's my job to have breakfast ready. For the higher-ranking wolves before they wake up. I turn on th

Chapter 2 — Aria's POVMate.Why did I say it out loud? Me, Aria Ravenshadow, the pack omega, claiming the Alpha as my mate? Maybe I've gone insane.Jaxon's gray eyes lock onto mine, and it feels like I'm sinking. He looks even better close up – Nyx, my wolf, is acting crazy. She's howling and clawing, desperate to be closer to him.But then his face changed. The shock fell away, replaced by a cold and hard expression. My heart had soared a moment before and now sank to my feet.“What did you just say?” Jaxon's voice was low and menacing.I opened my mouth but nothing came out. The pack was silent around us, all holding their breath.Jaxon moved a step closer toward me, and I instinctively moved a step backward. My mind was filled with memories of the constant disparaging remarks Jaxon made when I failed in tasks, debilitating chores he handed out to me, and how he looked through me as if I did not exist.“I. I.” I stuttered, my voice little more than a whisper.“Speak up, omega,” gro

Chapter 78 — Aria's POV The ethereal light surrounding me felt different — not just a glow, but pure power coursing through my veins. I flexed my fingers experimentally, watching the silvery marks on my skin shimmer with each movement. The infirmary's familiar white walls seemed to pulse with the energy radiating from my body.“Incredible,” Mom whispered from her chair by the window, her eyes wide with wonder. The amazement on her face made my heart swell. After everything we'd been through, seeing her here, watching me with such pride… It meant everything.“Try lifting that water glass,” Victor suggested, pointing to the bedside table. “Let's see how your control is developing.”I focused on the glass, expecting to need effort. Instead, it practically leaped into my hand. “Whoa!”“Careful,” Victor cautioned, but he couldn't hide his excitement. He bustled around me with his instruments, muttering under his breath as each reading came back off the charts. “This is unprecedented. The
Echoes of the moon Chapter 77
Chapter 77 — Zane's POV The sun hadn't fully risen when I stepped onto the training fields. Already, the sound of combat practice filled the air – pack members taking our warnings seriously. Metal clashed against metal, bodies thudded against training mats, and orders rang out across the morning mist. Good. We'd need that dedication.Through our mate bond, I felt Kane coordinating patrol shifts while Aria dozed fitfully in the infirmary. The three-way connection hummed with purpose, each of us focused on our tasks.Movement at the edge of the field caught my attention. Jaxon approached with a woman I didn't recognize. Even at this distance, she radiated predatory energy that made my wolf take notice. Scars marked visible skin, telling stories of battles survived. Her walk reminded me of a jungle cat – all contained power and deadly grace.“Zane.” Jaxon nodded in greeting. “This is Maya. The operative I mentioned.”Maya's golden eyes met mine without flinching – rare for a wolf facing
Echoes of the moon Chapter 76
Chapter 76 — Kane's POV Selene's words kept echoing in my head as I paced the command center. “He's coming.” Over and over, like a broken record. The maps spread across the table blurred together as my wolf prowled restlessly beneath my skin. Every instinct screamed to act, to fight, to protect.“Kane.” Zane's voice cut through my thoughts. My twin stood in the doorway, battle maps clutched in his hands. I felt his tension matching mine. Dark circles under his eyes suggested he'd gotten as little sleep as I had. “The pack's gathering.”I nodded, squaring my shoulders. Time to be the Alpha they needed. “Let's do this.”The walk to the hall felt longer than usual. Pack members we passed straightened instinctively, responding to the Alpha energy rolling off both of us. Their faces showed a mix of fear and determination – they knew something big was coming.The hall filled quickly, faces both familiar and new turning toward us as we entered. Elder wolves took their traditional positions
