Rowan stood in the dimly lit chamber, his fingers gripping the edge of the wooden table. Maps were scattered before him, some marked with red ink, others with clawed scratches that told stories of battle plans and bloodshed. His mind, however, was far from war at that moment.

Nova stood across from him, her expression unreadable, her presence as cold and calculated as ever.

“You should have told me sooner,” Rowan muttered, his voice low but edged with something dangerous.

Nova’s voice was a whisper in the shadows, the kind that lingered like a cold breeze. Rowan sat at the edge of the table, his eyes narrowed, waiting for the next revelation. The flickering candlelight cast eerie shadows on his face, but it was Nova’s words that held his attention completely.

“You’re right to be suspicious,” Nova said, her voice low and laden with intent. She leaned forward, the flicker of the flames dancing in her gaze. “Luca isn’t who you think he is.”

Rowan’s jaw tightened. “I know that. But what e

    Luca’s voice cut through the tension, his command clear and firm. “Continue your training,” he ordered, his eyes scanning the young warriors, who instantly resumed their sparring with renewed focus. He didn’t wait for them to finish before stepping toward Seraphina, guiding her with a firm but gentle touch toward the mansion.Seraphina walked beside him in silence, her mind still reeling from the conversation at Cora’s grave. Every step felt heavy, like the weight of the world was pressing down on her chest. But it wasn’t just the loss she’d encountered—it was the realization that her life was shifting in ways she couldn’t control. And Luca... Luca had become a constant force in her life, one that she wasn’t sure how to navigate anymore.Once inside, Luca led her into a quiet sitting room.

    The full moon hung high in the ink-black sky, casting an eerie glow over the gathering crowd. The air in Crescent Falls was electric, buzzing with anticipation. Tonight was the Alpha’s annual gathering a celebration of pack unity, power, and tradition. But for Seraphina Gray, tonight was more than that. It was the night everything was supposed to change.Her heart pounded as she stood in the centre of the Silver Moon Pack’s grand courtyard, her breath visible in the crisp air. She adjusted her dress a flowing silver gown that hugged her curves and tried to steady her nerves. The murmurs of the pack surrounded her like a tide, threatening to pull her under. They all knew why she was here, why she was glowing with nervous energy.She was turning eighteen. Tonight, the mate bond would activate, and fate would reveal her other half.She scanned the crowd, searching for him. Alpha Kael Ashford.He stood near the grand bonfire, his commanding presence drawing every eye in the crowd. The fir

    The clearing felt charged with an electric tension, the air thick enough to choke on. Seraphina froze, her glowing hands trembling at her sides as Kael stepped closer. His eyes were locked on hers, sharp and unrelenting, the Alpha in him radiating authority.“What have you done?” Kael repeated, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade.“I didn’t—” she stammered, backing away from the pedestal. The glow on her hands flickered and faded as panic set in. “I didn’t do anything.”“Don’t lie to me.” His growl was low and menacing, sending a shiver down her spine. “That light, those runes—what did you touch?”Seraphina’s back hit a tree, and she stopped, her chest heaving. Her mind raced, searching for an explanation she didn’t have. The voice, the pedestal, the surge of power—it was as much a mystery to her as it was to him.“Nothing,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Kael didn’t believe her. She could see it in his eyes, the way they burned with suspicion. “You’re lyin

    The scent of blood lingered in the air,mingling with the ramp earth as Seraphina stumbled back toward her pack's territory. Every step was a struggle, her body still trembling from the encounter with the shadow creature. Her mind raced, replaying the night's events over and over, the rejection, the pedestal, the fight and Kael's final words.“I won't hesitate to end you myself”.Her wolf whispered in her mind, weak and confused. She had no answers, no explanations for what had just happened. All she had was the suffocating weight of Kael's blame and the terrifying verification that something inside her had awakened- a power she couldn't control,let alone understand.The woods grew darker as she neared the pack's border. The faint glow of crescent falls’ lights flickered through the trees, a reminder of the life she thought she had known. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed to her knees,her breath hitching as exhaustion overtook her.“Seraphina”The voice was familiar, soft and conce

    Seraphina awoke to the sharp sting of her shoulder wound, the metallic scent of blood heavy in the air. Blinking against the harsh light, she tried to sit up, but her body protested every movement. A low groan escaped her lips.“You’re awake.”Kael’s voice was low, flat, and far from comforting. He stood by the window of what appeared to be a small, dimly lit cabin. The stormy gray of his eyes didn’t soften as he turned to face her.“What… where am I?” Seraphina rasped, her throat dry.Kael crossed the room in two swift strides, towering over her as he scrutinized her condition. “You passed out after your brilliant idea to take on a rogue with no plan. I had to carry you back to the outpost.”“Carry me? You mean you carried me in here? Why? How?” she repeated, her voice laced with disbelief and embarrassment.“Just thank me and stop questioning me, you fainted in the middle of everything, you are too weak” he said sarcastically, crossing his arms.She pushed herself up on the cot, her

    Seraphina’s heart raced as she made her way through the forest, her mind a whirlwind of confusion and anger. The cool night air was sharp against her skin, but the chill had nothing on the turmoil brewing inside her. She couldn’t stop thinking about the rogue wolf that had attacked her, the coldness in Rhea’s voice, and the strange tension that hung between her and Kael. It all felt like a web, and she was tangled right in the middle of it.“Why are they after me?” she muttered aloud, her voice breaking the silence of the night. Her eyes scanned the shadows, half-expecting another rogue to appear, though she was certain the forest was empty. The wind rustled through the trees, whispering secrets she couldn’t understand. “What have I done wrong?”She thought back to the events of the past few days—the attack on the rogue pack, Kael’s sharp words, and Rhea’s cutting comments. It all pointed to something bigger than she could comprehend. The rogues weren’t just random, they were after her

    The huge, scary forest was still alive with shadows when Cora arrived, stepping lightly through the underbrush as if the earth itself whispered her name. Her steps were measured and deliberate, a silent grace that had always been a part of her. Though Cora was known for her quiet demeanor, there was a sharpness to her eyes, an unspoken understanding that made her presence impossible to ignore. She had always been the quiet one, the sister with the power to see what others could not,a gift, or perhaps a curse, depending on how one looked at it. Her ability to peer into the unseen, to glimpse futures and truths others couldn’t, made her both revered and feared. It was a gift she carried heavily, but one she’d never shared lightly.As she neared the cabin, she caught sight of her sister standing by the door, her body stiff with tension. Seraphina had always been strong,too strong for her own good at times—but Cora could see the cracks in her exterior, the battle raging inside her. It was

    Cora,who was leaving the house already suddenly paused, feeling the tension of the quiet night like a physical weight pressing in on her. The forest around them seemed to hold its breath, waiting. Waiting for something, though Cora could never be sure exactly what, even though she is gifted. The shadows had deepened as they spoke, and the chill in the air was thick with unspoken words. There was a gnawing sense of urgency inside her, an unease that tightened her chest with every passing moment.She glanced back at Seraphina, still standing by the cabin door, her face a mixture of determination and doubt. It hurt Cora to see her sister like this—fragile, vulnerable, weak and rejected by her mate. Seraphina had always been the one to charge ahead, never hesitating, never second-guessing herself. But now, the weight of whatever was happening had shattered that confidence, and Cora wasn’t sure if she could repair it with mere words.“Come inside,” Cora said, her voice gentle but firm. “We

  • Luna's Fall The Queen's Rise   Chapter 82:The Truth

    The air was crisp, a sharp chill hanging in the autumn breeze as Seraphina stood in the clearing, her heart heavy. She could feel the weight of everything pressing down on her as she knelt beside the small grave, the mound of earth a reminder of the past she could never fully escape. The flowers in her hand — vibrant and delicate — trembled slightly, as if they too could feel the sorrow that filled the space.The memories of Cora, her sister, flooded her mind like a crashing wave. It had been years since she had last visited this place, years since she had said goodbye to the only family she had ever known. And yet, the pain of that loss was still as raw as the day they buried her.She placed the flowers gently on the grave, her fingers lingering on the cold stone that marked her sister’s final resting place. The name etched into the stone — Cora, beloved sister and daughter. The words felt too small, too insignificant to honor the woman Cora had been.Seraphina’s breath caught in her

    The journey to the Ravenclaw Pack had been long, but Seraphina moved with purpose. The battle with the rogues had left her shaken, yet it had awakened something within her—a force she wasn’t sure she could control. Every step she took forward was another step into the unknown, yet there was no turning back.By the time she reached the Ravenclaw Pack’s borders, dawn was breaking over the horizon, casting a golden glow over the towering pines. The moment she stepped onto their land, she felt it—a shift in the air, a silent acknowledgment of her presence. She wasn’t just another traveler passing through. They had been expecting her.Two guards blocked her path, their expressions unreadable as they stood with their spears crossed before her. Their postures were rigid, their scents laced with suspicion.“Halt,” one of them ordered, his voice firm. “State your purpose.”Seraphina didn’t even blink. “I don’t repeat myself,” she said coolly.A tense silence followed, the guards exchanging war

    The journey from the stronghold to the Ravenclaw Pack was one of solitude, and in that solitude, Seraphina found herself lost in thought. The dense trees of the forest whispered in the wind, and the distant howls of wolves echoed in the night, the rhythmic beat of her heart matching the pulsing energy around her. With every mile she put between herself and Luca, every step further into the wilderness, a part of her felt lighter, more free. But with the newfound freedom came the weight of uncertainty.She had chosen this path, this road to Ravenclaw, for reasons she hadn’t fully understood until now. She wasn’t running away from anything, but rather toward something — a piece of herself, a fragment of the past that could shape her future. The Ravenclaw Pack wasn’t just an old alliance, it was a part of her bloodline. It was something she had never fully embraced, but now she had no choice. To move forward, she had to confront the past.And yet, as her journey stretched on into the unkn

    Seraphina met his gaze, her expression unreadable. Her lips were pressed into a firm line, but there was a hint of something softer beneath her resolve — a vulnerability, perhaps, that Luca had never seen before.“I need to talk to you,” she said quietly, crossing the room to stand before him. There was no anger in her voice this time, no sharpness. Just a calm certainty that unsettled him more than anything else.Luca exhaled slowly, his hand still resting on the back of the chair. “I think we’ve said enough already, Seraphina,” he replied, his voice low. “I’ve made my decision.”Seraphina’s eyes flickered with something — confusion, perhaps, or frustration — before she spoke again. “This isn’t about that,” she said, her voice steady. “This is about me.”Luca raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued despite himself. “What about you?”“I need to go,” Seraphina said, her voice dropping to a whisper, almost as if she were unsure of how he would react. “I need to visit the Ravenclaw Pack.

    Seraphina’s mind raced, her pulse quickening. “Who is this so-called uncle? What is his true intention?”Martha hesitated for a long moment, as if weighing how much she could say. She finally sighed, her shoulders slumping slightly as the weight of the truth seemed to settle on her.“Luca trusts him, but he doesn’t know that our uncle doesn’t wish him anything good,” Martha said, her voice tight. “He only wants the throne. He always has. He’s been waiting for this moment — waiting for Luca to make a mistake, to falter. And now that he has, our uncle is moving in, trying to manipulate him, pull him into his web.”Seraphina’s eyes narrowed, her mind trying to piece the puzzle together. “So you’re telling me that his uncle is trying to use Luca to take control of the pack?”Martha nodded, her expression grim. “Exactly. And it’s not just the pack that’s at risk. It’s Luca himself. He’s walking right into a trap.”Seraphina’s chest tightened with a mixture of anger and fear. She could feel

    The tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a blade. Seraphina stood near the fireplace, arms crossed, her gaze locked on Luca with a mix of disbelief and frustration. The flames cast flickering shadows across her face, accentuating the sharpness of her features and the defiance in her eyes.Luca, seated at the head of the long wooden table, was a picture of calm—on the surface. But beneath that controlled exterior, there was something dangerous brewing. His jaw was tight, his hands curled into fists against the armrests of the chair.“So, tell me, Luca,” Seraphina began, her voice deceptively light. “What exactly is your grand plan now that your uncle is back, I am sure you two talked about the greatness of this pack, didn’t you?”Luca exhaled through his nose. He didn’t like the challenge in her voice, but he had expected it. Seraphina had never been the kind to sit back and accept things without questioning them.“I want the humans in the pack to train.” His voice was firm

    The guards parted as Luca stepped into the corridor, his back stiff with a kind of resignation Seraphina hadn’t seen in him before. She watched him for a moment longer than necessary, her mind racing as she processed his words. Vampires, werewolves, hidden relatives, a prophecy — it felt like everything was spiraling out of control. And she was caught in the center of it all.The door closed behind him with a soft thud. She had questions — too many to count — but all she could do was stand there, watching the shadows gather in the room. The tension was suffocating.Her fingers traced the edge of the windowpane, her reflection ghosted in the glass. The thought of Luca’s uncle sent a shiver down her spine. She had heard whispers over the years, rumors of a family feud, of power struggles, but she had never imagined it would come to this.Luca had always been a force, a leader, his presence enough to make people fall in line. But now? His resolve was unraveling. It didn’t take a keen eye
