The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 60 - Reminiscence
Selena had just turned sixteen, her wolf still young, untested, and full of fire. The small but bustling district of Laketown, where she lived with her family—the Robinsons, was abuzz with whispers of a visit from the newly appointed Alpha of the Redbone Pack, Wilson. He was a man of imposing stature, having taken the mantle of leadership after his father’s assassination. At thirty-three, Wilson was determined to prove himself worthy of the respect that had been afforded to his father, and the weight of that legacy bore heavily on his broad shoulders.Wilson had come to Laketown under the guise of business, but his true purpose was more personal. He had followed his best friend and loyal beta, Jason, to visit Jason's mate, Gabrielle. Gabrielle was nineteen, strong-willed, and every bit a supposed Alpha's daughter that her lineage demanded. It was through her that Wilson first encountered Selena, a meeting that neither could forget.The day had been sweltering, the summer sun beating d

Back at the Robinsons, Selena paced her small room, her mind racing. She couldn’t believe she had spoken to the Alpha of the Redbone Pack like that—defied him to his face. But more than that, she couldn’t believe the way it made her feel.She had always been headstrong, unafraid to speak her mind, but something about Wilson had ignited a fire within her that she didn’t understand. When he looked at her, it was like he was trying to see into her soul, to strip away her defenses and uncover her deepest secrets. And she hated that—hated the way he made her feel vulnerable, exposed.Gabrielle watched her sister with a mix of concern and admiration. Selena had always been a handful, but this was different. "You really need to be careful, Selena," she warned gently. "Wilson is not someone you want to make an enemy of. He’s powerful, and he’s got a lot to prove. You don’t want to get caught in the crossfire."Selena stopped pacing and looked at her sister, her blue eyes fierce. "I don’t care

The night was eerily still, the kind of stillness that suffocates, pressing down on the chest with the weight of the inevitable. The full moon cast a pale, silvery glow over the sprawling woods that surrounded Wilson’s estate, the shadows of ancient trees stretching like the claws of a monster, eager to claim their prey. Inside the estate, Wilson stood alone in his study, his broad shoulders tense, his jaw clenched tight. The fire in the hearth crackled, but its warmth did nothing to ease the cold knot of dread in his stomach. He knew what he had to do, and he knew it would change everything.Charmaine was on her way.It had been two years since they had become involved—two years of a relationship built on politics, on the merging of powerful bloodlines, on the understanding that their union was as much about the strength of their packs as it was about them. She was the perfect candidate for Luna, the daughter of Alpha Bucky Briggs, fierce, cunning, and every bit the leader she was bo

Wilson can’t sleep, leaves Selena in the room who sleeps so soundly like tomorrow is her wedding day—he paces back and forth in his dimly lit office, the weight of the night pressing down on him like a suffocating shroud. He glances over at the window, where the full moon hangs ominously in the sky, casting long, menacing shadows across the room. His decision is final, yet doubt gnaws at him like a ravenous beast. He knows what he must do, but the consequences of his actions are uncertain, a ticking time bomb waiting to explode."Jason," Wilson calls out, his voice low and commanding. Jason steps forward from the shadows. His expression is one of concern and frustration. "You summoned me, Alpha," Jason says, his tone clipped. He knows something big is about to go down, and he isn't sure if he's going to like it.“Yea,” Wilson’s voice cuts through the silence, deep and commanding, “I have a task for you. Tomorrow, Charmaine’s execution will take place in the woods, at the execution ar
Last Updated : 2024-08-23The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 64 - Unsightly Consequences
The early morning sun casts a pale light over Clovis City, but it does nothing to chase away the chill in Selena’s heart. The first light of dawn creeps through the curtains of Selena’s room as she stirs awake—got back from Wilson’s a little while back. The events of the previous day flash through her mind, and she feels a pang of anxiety twist in her stomach—the commitment she had made rings through her brain once more. She knows what she must do today, but the reality of it is daunting.She dresses quickly and rushes over to Demika’s home, her heart pounding with anticipation and urgency. Demika greets her at the door, her eyes wide with concern.“Demika,” Selena calls as she bursts through the door, met Granny Minama in the sitting room, her voice frantic with desperation. “Hey Granny, good morning… where’s Demi?”“Well, good morning… to you… too,” flummoxed of the stampede and unsure of what is up, points upstairs to her room. “She’s upstairs… Is everything alright?” She quizzes.

The execution arena is set deep within the woods, a secluded place where the pack gathers to witness the end of traitors and criminals. The air, once again, is thick with tension as the council members take their seats, their eyes filled with anticipation and dread.Selena arrives, her head held high, despite the turmoil inside her. She knows she must project confidence, strength. She is the executioner, and she must act like one.The crowd murmurs as Charmaine is brought out, her chains clinking ominously as she is led to the center of the arena. Her eyes, once defiant, now gleam with a sinister glee as she spots Selena. A smirk twists her lips as she realizes her executioner is none other than the young wolf she despises."Se-fucking-lena," Charmaine sneers, her voice dripping with malice. "I never thought you’d have the guts to face me. This is going to be fun… the fucking moon god decided to smile at me one last time after all."Selena says nothing, her gaze cold and unyielding. T
Last Updated : 2024-08-23The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 66 - A Tranquil Mirage
Clovis City is a place where the tranquil facade is but a fragile veneer, barely concealing the blood-soaked streets beneath. It’s been two weeks since Charmaine’s execution, and the city, for the first time in years, breathes easy—two weeks since the blood-soaked earth of Clovis City drank deep of Charmaine's life essence, and in that time, a peculiar calm has settled over the city. The menacing shadows that once prowled every corner have retreated, cowed by the brutal displays of power that left their leaders in ruins. Tranquility, it seems, is a luxury the inhabitants have scarcely known for a while. The streets, once haunted by fear and whispers of lurking threats, now breathe easy, as if the very air has been cleansed of its malice.Wilson, the Alpha of Alphas, the apex of power in this sprawling urban jungle, has put down Cortis with brutal efficiency, his hands still stained with the remnants of their violent clash. But it was Selena, his mate, who truly cemented her place besid

Demika arrives at Chloe’s residence unannounced, her heart pounding with anxiety. The grand, gothic mansion looms before her, its spires piercing the sky like the talons of a beast. Chloe greets her at the door, her eyes lighting up with excitement. They embrace warmly, their affection for each other palpable in the way they linger in each other’s arms. She embraces Demika, their soft kiss lingering just a moment longer than necessary. They exchange further pleasantries, but the weight of Demika’s burden quickly dampens the mood. She asks after Valentine, and Chloe reveals that he has been locked in his room for days, wallowing in a misery that borders on despair."Valentine hasn’t left his room in days," Chloe says as they walk into the chandelier-lit sitting room. "He’s been... different since that night."Demika nods, guilt gnawing at her. She knows exactly why Valentine has been in such a state—the reason for his torment. She had cast a blocking spell on Selena to prevent Valentine

The amber liquid swirls in the glasses, catching the soft light and reflecting the warmth that now lingers between them.He sets the glasses on the table before settling into the chair across from her, his gaze steady but softened.

She blinks at the sunlight with a slight start, realizing, only now, that she has been suspended in the remnants of the past for hours. Selena’s voice reaches her ears, carrying both worry and curiosity."Demi… Demika," Selena says, pushing the door open and stepping inside. She stops, eyes widening as she takes in her friend, studying her with a blend of disbelief and awe. “You look... different.”A faint smirk tugs at the corner of Demika’s lips. “I am different,” she says quietly, her voice carrying an edge of something ancient, something foreign. “You have no idea.”Selena glances over her shoulder as Chloe enters, her expression one of

The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 125 - The Legacy
The days bleed into one another in a dim cadence of restless hours and unbroken silence, with Demika hidden away in the secluded corners of Minama’s cottage.

The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 124 - Impetus Potentiae
Loneliness is a silent architect, building castles of solitude in the minds of those who wander without tether. Identity is a dance of masks, but in crisis, the mask slips, revealing not clarity but a fog, as if one were peering through glass, shattered and smeared. However, to lose oneself is not to wander; it is to walk through a foreclosure of one’s own soul, each familiar landmark of self closing its doors with a hollow thud. But solitude is the truest mirror, a place where whispers echo louder than the clamors of a crowd, where silence is the only faithful companion. In the heart’s quiet corridors, the comfort of isolation mingles with a cold draft of longing, one that no borrowed company can fill. Like a shadow dancing in one’s periphery, a fractured sense of belonging haunts the fringes of an empty room. And yet, perhaps loneliness is the sculptor, and solitude the chisel, whittling away the superfluous to reveal the form beneath. Some seek company to escape it; others confro
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 123 - Shadowed Returns
The night drapes itself in a humid cloak, thick and cloying, clinging to every surface and casting a fremescent tension that prickles the skin as Jason waits in the dim warmth of his apartment. After the long, solemn hours of Granny Minama's funeral, he can still feel the weight of Wilson’s directive pressing upon him, a derisive whisper urging him to slip the truth from Gabrielle without alerting her to his intent. The assignment is deceptively simple, yet Jason knows the fine line he walks: one misstep, one hint of calculation, and her walls will go up.She arrives just past midnight, her silhouette framed by the streetlight outside before stepping into the flickering glow of his candlelit living room. Shadows dance along cluttered shelves, over worn furniture, and around the dark corners of the room, painting an almost ominous scene. Jason greets her with a kiss, his hand grazing her cheek as their eyes meet, hers soft and trusting, unknowing of his hidden purpose.In that moment,
