Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 19—The Path to Silvercrest
Theoden had always known war. It had been carved into him, burned into his skin and bone, woven into his very existence. It was something he felt deep, something he never questioned. But this? This was not war.Not yet.This was something else—something colder, something far more dangerous. This was a hunt. A hunt for the truth. For their past. For the enemy who had erased them.Selene stood across from him, arms crossed, gaze sharp.“We leave tomorrow.”Her voice was steady, but there was something behind it. Something unsettled. Not fear. Never fear. But something close.Theoden exhaled slowly. “Are you sure?”Selene lifted her chin. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more sure of anything in my life.”That was true. She looked at him then, and he knew what she was thinking. They had spent centuries running, hiding, surviving. Now, it was time to understand. Time to stop playing the game and start ending it.Theoden nodded once. “Then we leave at dawn.”The news spread fast.The Alpha an

Theoden had never been to Silvercrest.Not in this life.But something about the towering mountain peaks, the dense forest wrapping around them like a living fortress, felt familiar. Like a memory just out of reach. A forgotten whisper in the back of his mind.Selene ran beside him, Nova a streak of white against the dark trees, their wolves moving in perfect sync. The warriors followed in tight formation, their presence a silent, unwavering force. Theoden barely felt the miles pass beneath his paws. He only felt the pull. The truth was close.And Silvercrest held the key.They had barely crossed into Silvercrest’s land when the first warning came.A single howl—long, deep, commanding.Theoden slowed. So did the others. Within seconds, they were surrounded. A dozen wolves stepped from the shadows, massive and silent, their silver-gray fur almost blending into the mist. But it was their eyes that caught Theoden’s attention.Not gold. Not brown.Silver.Cold. Calculating.The wolves of

Theoden had spent his life believing in order.The pack, the hierarchy, the balance between wolves and the world around them. Even through war, through bloodshed, through everything that had been stolen from him, he had believed in some unshakable law of existence.But this?This shattered everything. Not just who they were. But why they had been erased.They hadn’t just been hidden. They had been bound. Sealed. And the Elders had done it. To control them.To control gods.Selene hadn’t spoken in minutes. She stood beside him, her expression unreadable, but Theoden could feel the tension in her body, the way her mind was racing, unraveling. The Silvercrest Alpha sat in his chair, watching them with something like pity.“I know this is a lot to process,” he said, voice quieter now. “But if you want to survive, if you want to understand what’s coming, you need to listen.”Selene inhaled sharply. “We’re listening.”Theoden could feel the storm in her. The need for answers. The need for

Theoden had always known he was a warrior. It wasn’t just instinct—it was who he was. It lived in his bones, in the way his hands curled into fists too easily, in the way his body anticipated battle before it even began.Selene had always been different. Even before she remembered, before she knew who she truly was, she had always carried something else. A presence. A stillness. A calm.Where Theoden burned, she soothed.Where he fought, she mended.They had always balanced each other, even without understanding why. But standing here, deep in the Silvercrest archives, staring down at the truth written in ancient ink, Theoden finally understood.It hadn’t been coincidence.It had been designed.Selene traced her fingers over the brittle parchment, her green eyes flickering as she read.“The Wolves of the Eclipse weren’t born,” she murmured. “They were created.”Theoden swallowed hard. He had already suspected as much, but hearing it spoken…Hearing the truth settle in her voice…It mad

Theoden and Selene had been searching for the truth. Now, it seemed, the truth had been waiting for them.The Silvercrest Alpha led them through the underground tunnels beneath the stronghold, deeper than any pack vault should go. Theoden could feel the weight of the stone above them, the centuries pressing down. They stopped before an iron door, untouched by rust, carved with markings that Selene recognized instantly.Her mother’s sigil.Theoden felt her breath catch beside him.“This isn’t just an archive,” she whispered.The Alpha nodded, stepping aside. “No one has entered this vault since it was sealed. No one but you was meant to.”He placed a heavy key into the lock, twisted, and the iron groaned as the door swung open. Inside was a room that had never seen the light of day. And within it lay the truth the Elders never wanted them to find.The vault was small, lined with shelves of ancient tomes, scrolls wrapped in silk, relics older than any known civilization. In the center o

Selene was ready to leave. Not in a few days. Not tomorrow. Now. The moment she stepped out of the vault, her heart was pounding, her mind racing. She didn’t care that they had just uncovered centuries of secrets. She didn’t care that she had barely slept, barely eaten.All she cared about was the hunt.The Elders had erased her mother. They had stolen everything. And Selene was ready to burn them to the ground. But Theoden had other plans.“We need to rest.”Selene whipped around, eyes blazing. “We don’t have time to rest.”Theoden was calm. Too calm. He stood just a few feet away, arms crossed over his chest, his expression unreadable.“The pack needs to prepare,” he said. “We need to prepare.”Selene shook her head. “I’m ready.”“No, you’re angry.”The words hit her like a slap. Selene clenched her fists. “I have every right to be angry.”“I didn’t say you didn’t.”Theoden took a slow step forward. “I’m saying that anger alone isn’t enough.”Her breath came fast, ragged. She didn’t

Theoden woke first.For the first time in centuries, he felt rested—truly, deeply rested. Not just physically, but in a way that settled into his bones, like his soul had finally clicked into place. Selene stirred beside him, her red hair spilling over the pillow, her breathing soft and even. He didn’t wake her—not yet. Instead, he lay there, watching her, letting the peace settle around him for just a moment longer. Then, as if sensing him, Selene’s eyes fluttered open. Green. Bright. Alive. She smiled sleepily. “You’re staring.”He smirked. “Can you blame me?”She stretched, groaning softly before rolling onto her side. “I feel…better. Rested.”Theoden nodded. “I know what you mean.”It was a new feeling, one neither of them had truly experienced in this life. Like the weight they had been carrying had shifted. It wasn’t gone—not even close. But now, it wasn’t just a burden.It was purpose.Selene sat up, rubbing her eyes. “I’m starving.”Theoden chuckled. “Then let’s eat.”The sce

Chapter Twenty-Six: Setting the TrapTheoden sat at the small wooden table, fingers drumming against the surface, his blue eyes narrowed in thought. Across from him, Selene leaned forward, elbows on the table, brows furrowed. The morning light streamed through the window, illuminating the tension between them.They had too many unanswered questions. Too many loose ends.“What do we prioritize?” Selene asked, voice steady but firm. “Tracking down my kidnapper or finding the hiding Elder?”Theoden exhaled, rubbing a hand over his jaw. “Both are a threat. Both need to be dealt with.”Selene nodded. “But which one first?”Theoden studied her, his mind sorting through the options.“We know the Elders are hunting Cassiel. If they find him first, we’re done. They’ll perform the ritual, and we’ll cease to exist.” His voice was low, measured. “But whoever kidnapped you… he had a plan. He wasn’t working with them. He wanted you to remember—just enough for him to control you.”Selene shivered. “

Eclipsed Wolves Epilogue
The woods were still this time of day. The kind of stillness that came not from silence, but from peace. Not the tense hush before a storm—but the exhale that follows one. Two wolves darted between the trees, pelts flashing silver white and black as they raced toward the river. Nova and Atlas—Selene and Theoden. They weren’t chasing anything anymore. Just the wind. Just the freedom they’d fought so hard to earn. They reached the river at the same time, skidding down the bank and crashing into the water with a roar of splashes and barked laughter. A few moments later, two smaller wolves barreled out of the woods, one dark gray with white paws, the other reddish-gold with eyes too clever for her age. Their children. Kael and Lyra. They tumbled into the shallows, wrestling their parents with soaked fur and wagging tails, before the whole family finally shifted back to human form, dripping and breathless. Selene grinned as she squeezed water from her hair. Theoden pulled her close, p
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 90—Home
The earth felt still again. Not dead. Not dormant. Just… still. Like the world had exhaled for the first time in centuries and was finally resting. Selene stood at the crest of a hill just outside Silvercrest, the wind brushing through her hair. The sky was soft, the clouds drifting like whispers. Below her, warriors were gathering. Onyx wolves, Silvercrest wolves, and the remnants of what had once been scattered. Now, they were united. Whole. Behind her, Theoden walked up the hill, his steps quiet. He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Ready?” he asked softly. Selene leaned back against him. “I think… I’ve been ready for this more than anything else.” He kissed her temple, slow and lingering. “Then let’s go home.” They returned to Silvercrest first, gathering their things, tending wounds, thanking those who had fought beside them. Cassiel had moved in with the pack. It seemed fitting for the last Elder to be with the pack that guarded t
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 89—The Sealing
Theoden stood at the base of the archway, staring up at the massive stone door. It towered above them, ancient and unmoving, but alive in a way that made his skin crawl. The markings etched into its surface pulsed faintly, like the thrum of a heartbeat buried in rock. This wasn’t just a door—it was a wound in the fabric of the world. And they were finally going to seal it. Selene stepped beside him, her fingers brushing against his. “I remember,” she whispered, her voice steady. “I remember the words. The symbols. The rhythm.” “So do I,” Theoden replied. The last time these words had been spoken, it was by a circle of Elders. But instead of sealing the door, they’d used the ritual to erase Selene and Theoden—trapping their souls outside of time, tearing them from the world. The Elders had feared the door, but more than that, they feared the ones born to protect it. This time, the ritual would not erase them. This time, it would fulfill its purpose. Selene turned to Luka and Da
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 88—The Price of Return
Theoden sat beneath the silver light of twilight, his back resting against the base of a cracked pillar. Smoke still curled through the trees from what was left of the battlefield, and the earth beneath him was scorched, still warm to the touch. But the worst of the fire had passed. The world was still standing. He was still breathing. He closed his eyes, inhaling slowly as he pressed a hand over his chest, where the embers of Atlas’s flame had entered him. The skin there still burned faintly—not in pain, but with something deeper. Something sacred. “You should be resting.” Atlas’s voice drifted into his mind again. Still present. Still alive. Theoden smiled faintly. “I am.” “No, you’re brooding.” A breath of laughter escaped him, but it came out soft. Fragile. “Maybe.” A long silence passed between them. “You weren’t supposed to come back,” Theoden said finally. Atlas’s voice was steady, almost too calm. “Neither were you.” Theoden let his head fall back against the ston
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 87—The Weight of the End
Aylexelen shattered into light. It wasn’t like before—no scream of rage, no final attempt at vengeance. Just one long, drawn-out silence as Selene, Nova, and Atlas poured every last ounce of their power into him. The golden light from Selene’s chest merged with Nova’s brilliance and Atlas’ fire, converging like the universe itself had been holding its breath for this moment. And then—he was gone. Ash. Dust. Nothing. The silence that followed felt too heavy to be real. Selene stood there, barely breathing, her power still pulsing at her fingertips. Nova hovered beside her, glowing in her own separate form, but Selene didn’t feel triumphant. She didn’t feel relief. She felt…something. Wrong. Her chest twisted. She turned. And her world collapsed. Theoden was lying in the dirt. Not moving. Not breathing. “No—” His skin was pale. His lips parted just slightly. His beautiful blue eyes—those eyes that had stared into hers with fire and love and life—were closed. And the b
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 86—Deja Vu
The battlefield was glowing. Golden light and blazing fire twisted through the smoke, dancing across the scarred earth like twin storms. Nova and Atlas moved as if they had always existed separate from their hosts, as if their power had always belonged to this plane. They were magnificent—unstoppable. One, a shimmering beacon of celestial light, the other a relentless inferno tearing through darkness. Selene and Theoden stood at the center of it all, the door looming behind them. A structure ancient beyond measure. Carved from obsidian stone, humming with quiet power. And standing before them—Aylexelen. His silver eyes shone with amusement. And beneath it, something else. Hunger. He raised a hand, and the corrupted creatures that slithered and crawled behind him surged forward. But they didn’t reach Selene or Theoden. Atlas shot through the front line, a living flame ripping into the monstrous shapes, burning them into nothing. Nova followed a second later, glowing so brightl
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 85—Embodied
The world tilted sideways.Selene sucked in a ragged breath, blinking through the haze clinging to her eyes. Her ears rang with silence—not peace, but a high, slicing stillness that felt like it might shatter under its own weight. Every nerve in her body screamed from the inside out, but she was alive. She was whole. Somehow.Beside her, Theoden stirred with a sharp groan, his face twisted in confusion, pain etched into every line. His chest rose in heaving, uneven gasps as he dragged himself upright, eyes wide and searching.They were alive.But the world around them didn’t feel like the one they’d left behind.The sky above rippled with the dying light of the eclipse, pale gold bleeding into deep blue like the horizon hadn’t yet decided what time it was. The ground beneath them was scorched, cracked open in jagged veins of heat, still pulsing with something that didn’t belong. Something other.Selene tried to stand, but her legs shook beneath her. Theoden steadied her instinctively
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 84—Eclipse
“Watch out!” Selene barely had time to dodge. A rogue lunged at her from the right—jaws wide, eyes feral—but Theoden was already there, fire lashing from his hand in a controlled arc. It caught the rogue midair, burning him to ash before he hit the ground. “Two more incoming!” Theoden shouted. Selene pivoted, golden light already pulsing at her fingertips. She sent a wave of power crashing into the approaching wolves, flinging them backward like broken dolls. The ground was slick now. Mud and blood mixed beneath her boots. War was no longer a word. It was a smell. A sound. A rhythm in her bones. “Fall back!” Luka’s voice roared through the smoke. “Darius, come on!” The two warriors appeared out of the chaos, bloodied but still fighting, retreating toward Selene and Theoden’s position. Luka skidded to a halt beside her, panting, blood dripping from a gash above his eye. “We can’t hold the line.” Darius crashed in a second later, barely on his feet. “This is insane! They just
Eclipsed Wolves Chapter 83—The Last Line
It began with screaming. Selene jolted upright, heart hammering, as a deafening howl ripped through the trees. Theoden was already on his feet, eyes glowing, pulling her up beside him before the echo faded. They weren’t at the front. Not this time. They were at the back—the last line of defense. The door rose behind them, carved into the cliff, ancient and closed. For now. Its weight pressed against their minds, humming with silent, dormant power. War had come. They turned. The clearing ahead was already chaos. Rogues flooded from the trees like a tidal wave—snarling, clawing, feral. Selene could barely count how many. Dozens. Hundreds. Too many. Onyx and Silvercrest warriors met them with a battle cry, forming a wall of teeth and steel. Luka and Darius were there—at the center of the line, side by side, holding firm. But already, the field was slick with blood. Selene’s eyes tracked a young warrior—barely out of his teens—slashing with trembling hands before being tackled
