Chapter 1—The Calm Before the Storm
Last Updated:
2025-02-10 20:26:41The Montana wilderness stretched endlessly in every direction, a vast expanse of towering pines and tangled underbrush. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting shifting patterns on the forest floor. The crisp morning air carried the scent of damp earth, pine, and the faint, familiar musk of her pack.
Willow inhaled deeply, letting the scent ground her. She wasn’t just human. She wasn’t just a wolf. She was both. Werewolves weren’t two separate beings forced into one body. They were a single soul—half human, half wolf, one whole entity. The human side had thoughts, emotions, memories, and logic. The wolf carried instincts, power, and magic. The magic belonged only to the wolf. A human without their wolf was just that—human. They could not heal faster, they could not shift, they could not feel the presence of the pack through the bond that tied them together. But when the wolf lent its magic, the body became stronger, faster. Wounds closed quickly, bones knit back together, and shifting forms became effortless. It was a balance, an unbreakable connection. And right now, Willow could feel Nova’s magic humming beneath her skin, waiting. Restless. “You should shift,” Nova murmured inside her mind. “Your legs are stiff. I can feel it.” Willow smirked. “I’m fine.” “Liar.” Before she could respond, another presence brushed against her mind—one stronger, sharper. “Thinking about running?” Theo’s deep voice slid into her thoughts, lazy and teasing. Willow huffed a laugh. “Are you always listening in?” “Only when I’m bored.” She turned just as he emerged from the trees, looking entirely too pleased with himself. His dark hair was still tousled from sleep, his blue eyes sharp despite the early hour. He was shirtless, as usual, because apparently being Alpha meant refusing to wear proper clothing unless absolutely necessary. Willow raised a brow. “Let me guess—you want to run too?” Theo smirked. “What gave it away?” “Atlas is pacing,” Nova muttered. “He wants to stretch his legs.” Willow shot Theo a knowing look. “Atlas is getting impatient.” Theo tilted his head, his lips quirking. “So is Nova. Want to race?” Willow barely had time to shift before Nova surged forward, muscles rippling beneath thick silver-white fur. The world sharpened instantly—colors deepened, scents became richer, and the forest came alive around her. Theo shifted a heartbeat later, Atlas’ massive black form streaking through the trees beside her. They ran, weaving through the towering pines, paws barely touching the earth as they raced toward the river. The mate bond hummed between them, a steady, electric pulse. Nova pushed harder. “Not this time, Alpha.” Atlas rumbled with amusement. “We’ll see about that.” The river appeared suddenly, the glistening water cutting through the landscape like a blade. They reached the clearing at the exact same moment, skidding to a halt in unison. “Tie?” Nova huffed. “We’ll call it a tie,” Atlas admitted. “This time.” Willow shifted first, rolling her shoulders as she stretched. Theo followed, his sharp blue eyes locked onto her. “Not bad,” he said, crossing his arms. Willow smirked. “Admit it—you thought you had me.” “Maybe,” he conceded, stepping closer. “But I like keeping things interesting.” She narrowed her eyes. “Is that why you let me win?” Theo leaned in slightly, his lips hovering just above hers. “I never let you win.” Before she could respond, a voice called out from the trees. “Alpha!” They turned as Luka, one of the warriors, jogged toward them. His expression was grim. Willow frowned. Something’s wrong. Theo was already mind-linking Luka before he even spoke aloud. “What happened?” Luka hesitated for only a second before saying, “A rogue attack. South border.” A chill ran down Willow’s spine. Theo’s expression darkened. “How many?” Luka shook his head. “At least ten. They came fast, didn’t get past the first perimeter. No deaths, but two of our wolves are injured.” Nova bristled inside Willow’s mind. Ten? That’s not just a few rogues wandering too close—that’s coordinated. Willow glanced at Theo, but he was already shifting, Atlas taking over in a blink. Willow followed without hesitation, and together they ran. The scent of blood hit Willow the moment they reached the southern border. Atlas slowed beside her, shifting back before his paws even fully hit the ground. Luka was already there, standing over two injured pack members—one young warrior clutching his side, another holding his arm at an awkward angle. Both were alive, but their injuries were deep. “Report,” Theo ordered, his voice calm, but firm. One of the sentries—Callum—straightened, his face pale. “They came out of nowhere. At first, we thought it was a scouting party, but then they attacked. No warning. No demands. Just bloodshed.” Willow frowned. “Rogues usually don’t work together like that.” “They don’t,” Luka agreed. “That’s what worries me.” Theo exhaled sharply. “Something isn’t right.” Willow nodded, answering through their link. “You’re thinking what I’m thinking?” Theo’s blue eyes darkened. “This wasn’t random.” “Did they say anything?” Willow asked, glancing at the injured wolves. “Anything at all?” The younger warrior hesitated before shaking his head. “Not at first. But right before they retreated… one of them looked right at me and said, ‘Tell your Luna Willow we’ll be back for her.’” Silence. A cold, sharp dread settled in Willow’s stomach. Theo’s entire body went rigid beside her. “They were looking for Willow?” The young warrior nodded weakly. “They knew her name, Alpha.” Willow’s mind spun. Rogues had no hierarchy, no structure. They didn’t plan attacks. They didn’t target specific people. Yet these ones had. Nova growled, restless. Theo’s jaw clenched, his voice slipping into Alpha command. “Luka, double the border patrols. No one moves alone. If these rogues come back, I want to be ready.” Luka nodded sharply and disappeared into the trees, already mind-linking the others. Willow turned to Theo. “We need to find out who sent them.” Theo’s blue eyes burned. “We will.” But Willow had a sinking feeling that whoever had sent those rogues—they weren’t finished yet. And they weren’t just after the pack. They were after her.

Willow walked through the village with purpose, her steps steady, her posture unshaken. To anyone watching, she looked strong—calm, even. Just another day as Luna, overseeing the pack, ensuring everything was in order. But inside, her mind was in turmoil. The rogue attack wasn’t sitting right. Rogues didn’t just attack like that—not in numbers, not with coordination. And they certainly didn’t retreat after delivering a message. “They knew my name,” she reminded Nova, as if she hadn’t replayed those words a hundred times already. Nova was silent for a moment before murmuring, “I know.” Willow exhaled slowly, schooling her features as she passed a group of pack members tending to repairs near the training grounds. A few of the warriors nodded respectfully. Others gave her a reassuring glance, as if they were the ones trying to keep her from worrying. She managed a small smile in return before continuing on. “You’re overthinking,” Nova said. “We don’t know enough yet to start spir

The walk back to their house was quiet. The village had settled in for the night, the warm glow of lanterns flickering in windows, casting long shadows across the forest path. The crisp Montana air carried the scent of pine and damp earth, but underneath it all, Willow still smelled blood. The rogue attack lingered in her mind like a dull ache. Nova had retreated, slipping into the back of her consciousness to give her space. Atlas had done the same for Theo. It was just them now. Theo walked beside her, his blue eyes sharp even in the dim light. He hadn’t said much since they left the warriors, but Willow felt him—felt his concern pressing against the bond they shared. They reached their cabin a few minutes later, the cozy wooden structure nestled among the trees. Inside, the scent of cedar and leather greeted her, grounding in its familiarity. Theo shut the door behind them, locking it out of habit. Willow exhaled. “I’ll make dinner.” Theo smirked. “You’re actually going to

Theo woke to silence. A cold, unnatural silence. His body was warm, the scent of pine and wildflowers lingering in the air—Willow’s scent. But something was wrong. His arm stretched across the bed, fingers searching for her familiar warmth. Nothing. Theo’s eyes snapped open. The room was dimly lit, the early morning light barely creeping through the window. The space beside him was empty. Panic surged through him, sharp and sudden. He reached for the bond. Nothing. His chest tightened, breath catching in his throat. The bond was there—but faint, distant. It was like trying to hear a whisper through a storm. Then, the mind-link slammed into him. “Alpha!” Luka’s voice, sharp and urgent. “It’s Luna! The rogues—she’s gone!” The world stopped. Atlas snapped inside him, rage and panic crashing together in a violent storm. Theo was out of bed before the words fully registered, his bare feet hitting the wooden floor hard. Gone? Theo’s mind barely formed the thought before his

Willow woke to pain. A dull, aching weight pressed against her body, making every movement feel sluggish and heavy. The air was thick and damp, carrying the scent of stone, rot, and wolves—too many wolves. She inhaled slowly, trying to clear the haze from her mind. Something was wrong. She blinked against the dim light, her vision swimming as she took in her surroundings. Rough stone walls. A single flickering lantern casting weak shadows across the floor. Cold air brushing against her bare arms. Her wrists— A burning sensation sizzled against her skin. She looked down and found thick, silver-lined shackles clasped around her wrists, attached to a chain bolted into the wall. Not enough to sear through her skin, but enough to sap her strength—enough to keep her from shifting. Willow clenched her jaw. “Nova?” Silence. Panic flared, but then, just barely, she felt her wolf stir—weak, distant. “I’m here,” Nova whispered, her voice strained. “But I feel… drained.” So it wasn’t

Theo ran. The night was thick around him, the forest stretching endlessly in every direction. His paws tore into the earth, muscles coiled tight with every bound. The warriors followed, their dark forms weaving like shadows through the trees. But Theo didn’t hear them. Didn’t see them. All he could feel was the mate bond—thin, weak, unnatural. Willow was out there. Somewhere. Alive, but distant. Something was cutting through the bond, muffling it. That was the only reason he wasn’t ripping through the forest, following the connection straight to her. And that was what terrified him the most. They had done something to her. To his mate. Atlas snarled inside him, so violent, so furious, that Theo’s vision blurred with it. His wolf was on the verge of snapping free, no longer willing to be leashed by reason. He needed her. He needed her now. “Hold on, Willow,” he thought fiercely. “I’m coming.” The air was heavy with tension, the warriors silent as they ran.

Theo stood frozen, his breath coming in sharp, uneven pulls. The message burned in his mind, the words seared into his mind like a brand.“The fire-haired one belongs to us now. She will forget you. And when she does, she will destroy you.”The paper crumpled in his fist.The forest was deathly silent.His warriors watched him carefully, their bodies still, their ears perked, waiting for a reaction. Waiting for their Alpha’s next command.But Theo couldn’t speak.He couldn’t breathe.“She will forget you.”The words rattled inside his chest like a cage, tightening, constricting, pressing down until it felt like his ribs might crack under the weight of it.Atlas howled, his anguish ripping through their shared mind like a blade.No.No, she won’t. She can’t.The mate bond was faint, but it was still there.Wasn’t it?He reached for it again, stretching his mind, trying to grasp onto anything.Nothing.A hollow emptiness.Theo’s knees nearly buckled. His hands shook as he squeezed them

Theo barely felt the shift.Atlas exploded forward.But something was different.The change was instantaneous—too fast, too smooth. Even for him.There was no slow breaking of bones, no painful rearranging of his body. Just a pulse of something deep, something raw, something ancient—And then he was running.Faster than he ever had before.Luka and Darius were only a second behind him, shifting into their wolves to follow. But they were slower. Too slow.Because Theo was moving like something else entirely.He didn’t think about it.He couldn’t.His paws slammed into the earth, his breath came in ragged bursts, and Atlas was a storm of fury and agony.He didn’t know where they were going.Didn’t know where the trail would lead.It didn’t matter.They would find someone.And they would make them talk.The scent of a rogue drifted through the trees.Theo veered left without hesitation, his body a shadow in the dark.The rogue never saw him coming.One moment, he was standing there, adju

Willow sat in the cold, damp cell, her back pressed against the stone wall.The air smelled of mildew and blood—her own, she realized distantly. The cuffs around her wrists had bitten into her skin from her earlier attempts to break free. She wasn’t fighting anymore.There was nothing to fight against.Nothing was happening.Just silence.It stretched through the room, thick and suffocating, pressing in from every side.It was the kind of silence that made the world feel distant. Unreal.The kind that made her feel like she didn’t exist at all.The door creaked open.She didn’t flinch.She didn’t even look up.She already knew who it was.It was him. The one who had taken her, the one who watched her like she was a puzzle waiting to be solved.He stepped inside with the same casual confidence, his footsteps slow, deliberate.Willow could hear the faint rustle of his clothing, the controlled cadence of his breathing. He wasn’t in a rush.Because he had already won.She hated that thoug

Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 37—The Memory Beneath the Ashes
The hall burned. Stone walls that had once echoed with music and laughter now trembled beneath the roar of fire. The floor was slick with blood and ash. Screams echoed in the distance—wolves, warriors, mothers, children. But none of them reached her ears fully. Everything sounded muted. Hollow. Like the air had been sucked from the world. Selene stood in the center of the crumbling hall, her breath coming in shallow gasps. Her dress was torn, her arms streaked with soot and blood—none of it her own. Around her, the air shimmered with heat and something more. A pulse of ancient magic that vibrated in her bones. And in front of her—he stood. Aylexelen. He was not the cloaked shadow she had seen in the forest. He was younger here, though not youthful. Regal, commanding, dressed in deep indigo robes trimmed with silver. His expression was calm. Too calm. Unbothered, even as bodies fell around them. And at his feet, Theoden lay. Deathly still. His blood pooling around him. Selene’
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 36—The Breaking Point
The moon hung low, half-hidden behind drifting clouds, casting pale slivers of light across the forest clearing. The fire had long since died, leaving only the quiet crackle of cooling embers. Theoden slept with one arm draped protectively over Selene’s waist, his breathing deep, steady. Selene stirred faintly beneath the blankets. Her mind drifted between sleep and waking, her body warm beside his. But then— The pain struck. It was sudden. Violent. Blinding. Her eyes flew open, but she couldn’t move. Her chest heaved, her limbs trembling beneath the weight of something she couldn’t see. Every breath was a razor. Every heartbeat sent waves of agony through her body. “Nova?” she screamed into her mind, but Nova didn’t answer. The connection was static—muted. Blocked. Selene’s throat worked, but no sound came out. Her voice had vanished, locked away with the rest of her strength. And then she saw him. Aylexelen. Standing just feet away. One hand extended toward her, glowing wi
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 35—The Hollow Beneath the Surface
The morning came with silence. No birdsong. No wind. Just the soft sound of the stream and the low crackle of coals in the fire pit. Selene stirred first, sitting up slowly. Theoden was already awake, leaning against a nearby rock, his arms crossed and gaze fixed on the woods beyond the clearing.“He’s gone,” he said without looking at her.Selene blinked the sleep from her eyes. “What?”“Aylexelen,” he clarified. “He left sometime during the night. No word. No sound. Just gone.”Selene’s heart stuttered. “Nova?”“I didn’t feel him leave,” the wolf said, her voice taut with unease. “It’s like he vanished.”Selene rose to her feet, wrapping a blanket around her shoulders. “He hasn’t done that before.”Theoden shook his head. “No.”They packed up camp quickly, neither speaking much. The absence of Aylexelen was louder than his presence had ever been. Every sound in the forest made Selene tense. Every gust of wind set Atlas growling low inside Theoden’s mind.“He’s hiding something,” Atl

Aylexelen led them through a narrow gorge at the edge of the mountain range. The rock walls rose on either side, casting deep shadows across the forest path. The sky was overcast now, the light dim and pale, as though the world itself was withholding warmth.Selene trailed behind Aylexelen, her steps slow, deliberate. She could feel Nova pacing within her, a constant thrum of tension between her ribs.“He’s watching,” Nova murmured.Selene didn’t have to ask who. She’d seen the way Aylexelen’s eyes lingered too long, not with desire—but with calculation. Like he was measuring her for something.She glanced ahead. “Where are we going?”Aylexelen didn’t turn around. “There’s something I want you to see. Something that may help you understand your power.”Theoden moved up beside her, his voice low. “He mentions your power too often. I don’t like it.”She nodded. “And he never tells us what we’re walking into.”“That’s because he’s not walking into anything,” Atlas growled inside Theoden’
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 33—Sleeping Gods and Broken Truths
Selene watched the way Aylexelen moved through the forest. Always silent. Always just out of reach. He was neither rushed nor relaxed—simply… present. Like the woods belonged to him. Or maybe he belonged to them. She wasn’t sure which was worse.They walked without speaking for some time, weaving through thick pines and silent stone ridges. The silence wasn’t comforting. It was calculating.Nova stirred. “He doesn’t breathe the same air we do.”Selene didn’t answer right away. “You mean that literally or—““Both,” Nova said. “He feels like a wound the world never healed.”Selene’s throat tightened. “There’s something wrong with him,” she murmured through the mindlink. Theoden glanced at her from a few paces ahead, then slowed to fall in beside her. “Atlas said the same.”Selene looked up. “What did he say?”Theoden’s jaw tensed. “That when Aylexelen is near, the earth quiets. Like even the wild things know not to make a sound.”Aylexelen, as if sensing their thoughts, stopped beside
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 32—Power and Pretense
The morning light filtered through the canopy, soft and golden, but there was no warmth to it. The forest remained still, as if caught in a breath it couldn’t quite release. Selene sat on a fallen tree, her eyes fixed on the embers of their dying fire, her thoughts elsewhere.Nova stirred quietly in the back of her mind, not speaking. Just watching. Selene could feel her unease like a current beneath her skin, constant and restless.“You’re quiet,” Selene finally said.“Because I don’t trust him,” Nova replied. Her voice wasn’t sharp or angry—just deeply unsettled. “There’s something hollow in him, Selene. Something missing. Hollow. It’s not just a name.”Selene glanced toward the edge of the trees where Aylexelen stood, unmoving. He didn’t pace or fidget. He simply waited, like the forest itself. Still. Silent. Unreadable.“Do you think he’s lying?” she asked.Nova didn’t hesitate. “Not with his words. But he’s hiding something. His truth is only part of the story.”Selene swallowed
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 31–The Hollow One’s Offer
The morning mist clung to the trees, soft and low, as if the forest itself was reluctant to wake. Selene stood near the marked tree, her fingers hovering just above the freshly carved name. The bark was still raw. Still wet. Someone had been here, not hours ago, but minutes.Theoden stood behind her, tense and silent. His eyes were fixed on the woods beyond the tree line, his body wound tight with something more than suspicion. He didn’t like being watched. He liked being toyed with even less.“He’s close,” Selene murmured, not turning around.“I know.” His voice was low and hard. “He wants us to see this. Wants us to follow.”“Atlas?”“He’s waiting,” the wolf growled. “He’s playing a game and thinks he’s already won it.”Nova stirred in Selene’s mind, sharper than usual. “He knows we’re watching for him. And he doesn’t care.”Selene exhaled, the morning air cool against her skin. “Then let’s stop pretending we don’t see him.”She stepped away from the tree, her power stirring faintly
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 30—The Echo in the Trees
The trees thickened the deeper they walked, towering evergreens standing like ancient sentinels in the fading light. Each step was deliberate, each breath slow. Theoden walked just ahead of Selene, his eyes scanning the path, his senses stretched far beyond what was visible. Every shift of wind, every creak of branch, every rustle in the underbrush was filtered through the instinct that had kept him alive for centuries—even if he hadn’t known it until recently.“You feel that?” Atlas stirred in his mind, his voice low, wary.Theoden gave the faintest nod. “Yeah. It’s too quiet.”Selene walked beside him now, close enough that her shoulder brushed his. Her expression was unreadable, but Theoden could feel the tension in her limbs, the way her fingers twitched ever so slightly. She was listening too.“Nova?” she asked softly, eyes on the trees.“Something’s not right,” Nova murmured. “It’s like the forest is holding its breath.”Theoden turned his head slightly toward Selene. “We’re not
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 29—Awake
Theoden felt it in his bones.The power inside him was no longer just a whisper of something ancient—it was awake. Selene lay across from him in the dim light of the cabin, her green eyes bright, her chest rising and falling with shallow breaths. The air around them pulsed with energy that had been sealed away for centuries. But now, there was no holding it back. And as the power inside him grew, so did hers. Selene shuddered, pressing a hand against her chest. “I feel… different.”Theoden stepped closer, his blue eyes searching hers. “Because you are.”Selene swallowed. “What is this? What are we?”Theoden lifted his hand, and without meaning to, fire flickered between his fingers. It wasn’t normal fire—it was gold, burning with the weight of something more than magic. And Selene—light shimmered over her skin, glowing softly, as if the power inside her had finally decided to take shape. Theoden clenched his jaw. “We’re what we were always meant to be.”But now they knew the truth—t
