The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 87 - An Assayed Insurrection
The waxing crescent moon hangs heavy in the night sky, its silvery light cascading a shy light over Clovis City like a spectral shroud. Beneath its pale glow, the city is a hive of shadowed intrigue and simmering tension. The night sky hangs in stillness, draped in a velvet blackness that swallows the horizon whole. The new moon hides in plain sight, its presence felt more in absence, an ineffable darkness casting an ethereal hush over the world. It’s a night for shadows to skulk across the city, for the stars to form a mellifluous choir, quietly harmonizing above the strewn whispers of leaves below. The air smells of fresh smell of rain that recently subsided, that damp scent of rain-soaked earth rising like an ephemeral breath from the ground, a fleeting reminder of nature's recent kiss.For some, it feels as though the universe is bamboozling them, hiding its celestial panoply behind an opaque curtain. Yet, for others, there’s a serendipity in this dark sky, a chance to dial in to

The insurrection is set in motion, but it is a dangerous game, one that could unravel in ways they cannot yet foresee.Late into the night, Bucky contacts Wilson in a secretive, encrypted message. The communication is brief but laden with urgency. “Meet me at the old watchtower. We need to talk.”Wilson receives the message with a growing sense of foreboding. He has been aware of the murmurings of dissent, but this direct summons from Bucky—who is both an ally from the past and a potential enemy—raises his alarm.As dawn breaks, Wilson makes his way to the old watchtower, a relic from a bygone era, its once-strong structure now weathered and scarred.

The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 89 - Wilson's Resolve
In the heart of Clovis City, the tension is palpable, a storm of unease brewing beneath the surface of what was once a bastion of strength and unity. The ominous clouds that hang over the city mirror the dark omens Wilson Smith, Alpha of the Redbone Pack, grapples with. A formidable adversary looms on the horizon, a shadow that threatens to engulf not just his pack, but the entire city. Yet, amidst this existential threat, a more insidious danger festers within the very walls that should protect him.As Wilson stands at his balcony overlooking the sprawling cityscape, his mind is weighed down by the gravity of the threat he faces. The night is silent save for the distant roar of the storm that batters the city, a fitting backdrop to his brooding. His sharp eyes scan the shadows, reflecting the bloodlust and urgency that drive him. He knows that to falter now would mean more than just defeat—it would mean the annihilation of everything he has fought for, everything his family has built
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 90 - Reparations
In the dimly lit red chamber of the Council of Alphas, the air is thick with tension as Wilson takes his seat at the head of the stone table. His piercing gaze sweeps across the room, falling on each council member in turn. Many avert their eyes, unwilling to meet the gaze of the man they once swore fealty to. The three traitors sit in their designated places, feigning innocence, but their deceit is palpable. Their allies among the council members shift uncomfortably, their guilt radiating from them in waves.The council meeting begins as it always does, with reports of pack affairs and city matters. But the undercurrent of unease is unmistakable. Wilson allows the conversation to flow, his sharp mind already several moves ahead. He knows what is coming, and he is prepared.When the moment arrives, it is Lucius who speaks first, his voice dripping with false concern. "Alpha Wilson," he begins, his tone measured and controlled. "There have been... concerns among some of us about the di
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 91 - Trailing Shadows
Secrets are the weapons of those who walk in shadow, unseen, unheard, until the moment they pierce the silence. The night is loyal to the hunter, cloaking them in its embrace, while the prey, trembling, senses the gaze that never wavers—silent, relentless, inevitable. In these dark recesses, truths are born, and betrayals murmur like whispered winds. Then again, in the folds of night, the most perilous secrets breathe and grow, for darkness is a veil that shields both predator and prey, though only one truly masters the hunt.Danger rarely announces its arrival with a roar. Instead, it treads softly, creeping on the silent feet of dread, lurking just beyond the edges of perception. To track in darkness is to merge with the night itself, to become invisible, patient, waiting for that singular, fatal instant to strike. The shadows are a kingdom where only the bold wear crowns, and the weak, paralyzed by fear, fall into the jaws of the inevitable. In this delicate dance between predator
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 92 - A Masked Phantom
The air thickens, becoming nearly unbreathable, as if the oxygen has been sucked out of the atmosphere. She can feel it now—its gaze on her, searing her flesh from a distance. There’s a low hum vibrating through her bones, an energy so familiar, so insidious, she can taste it in the back of her throat.Without warning, the entity emerges from the shadows, and Selena’s breath catches in her throat. It stands before her, its form wavering as though reality struggles to contain it. It’s both corporeal and ethereal, a mass of darkness that writhes and pulses with malevolent intent. Its eyes, if they can even be called that, glisten like oil in the moonlight, locking onto Selena with an ineffable hunger. It doesn’t speak—at least not with words. Its presence alone is enough to bamboozle her senses, to flood her mind with images too horrific to comprehend.The entity moves toward her, slow, deliberate, as if savoring each step closer to its prey. Selena wants to scream, but her voice falter
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 93 - A Chance Meeting
In the depths of the shadows, she trembles at the beast she believes stalks her every step. Yet, when the moment of revelation comes, it is no beast at all. What stands before her is something far stranger, far more human. The days spent fearing the monster behind every door, the dark shape haunting her dreams during the night, now seem foolish as the door finally opens, revealing not claws or fangs, but a mirror.What she once dreaded as a creature of nightmares—hulking, grotesque—was merely a mask, a facade that hid something far more insidious. Beneath that mask lies a truth that defies her every assumption, something altogether unfamiliar yet infinitely more dangerous. The true terror does not come from the monstrous form she expected, but from the simplicity of its real face. How easily her mind spun nightmares from shadows, fabricating horrors that were never truly there.She had prepared herself for the beast of her nightmares, but what came instead bore no resemblance to the t
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 94 - Avalanche of Cataclysm
Selena sits in the dimly lit room of Demika’s apartment, which hums with an unsettling quiet, the tension palpable as if the walls themselves are listening in. Her fingers clutching the rough edges of the wooden table, knuckles stark white with tension against her skin. The air in the room is oppressive, thick with the unspoken weight of fear and uncertainty. The dull amber light flickers above, casting wavering shadows across her face as her piercing blue eyes—glowing faintly in the low light—shift between Chloe and Demika. The amorous duo sit across from her, their eyes fixated on Selena's face, searching for answers as if the words she’s just spoken could shift the very fabric of their understanding. Chloe’s jaw tightens, her usually soft features sharpened by the tension in her brow. Demika sits still, her expression torn between curiosity and unease, her fingers tapping nervously against the table as she digests what she’s just heard.Chloe’s voice cuts through the silence like
