Chapter 15: The Nightmare

last update publish date: 2026-05-07 13:20:36

Luna woke up screaming.

The sound tore through the silent suite like glass shattering. Her hands clutched at the air, her gray eyes wide and glassy with terror, sweat pouring down her face despite the cold room.

“Asher! No! Don’t leave me! Please!” Luna cried out, thrashing against the sheets, her heart pounding so hard she thought it would burst.

Asher was awake instantly.

He sat up and pulled Luna into his arms before she could even open her eyes fully, holding her tightly against his

  • The Alpha’s Rejected Luna   Chapter 37: The Price of Choice

    Peace was louder than war. Luna hadn’t expected that. She thought silence would follow the howls of “Many Moons”. Instead, the first year was noise. Arguments in circles that lasted till dawn. Wolves shouting over hunting grounds. Pups crying because no one could agree which moon to follow for bedtime stories. “Choice is messy,” Damian said, handing her a mug of warm milk. He was king without a throne now. Just a man with calloused hands and king-gold eyes that never left her. “You gave them freedom. Freedom means disagreement.”Luna sat on the cliff edge, feet dangling over the valley. Below, thousands of small moons lit the night. Each one over a wolf, a den, a choice. Beautiful. Exhausting. “I thought breaking the system would fix everything,” she whispered. Her galaxy eyes were human silver now. No more goddess glow. Just tired. “I didn’t think it would make more work.”Damian sat beside her, shoulder touching hers. “Kings rule with fear. It’s easy. You ruled with hope. Hope is

  • The Alpha’s Rejected Luna   Chapter 36: Not Your Moon

    The pull was agony.Luna felt her soul stretch like thread about to snap. The black moon with the silver ring hung above her, calling. It promised peace. Promised an end to war. Promised she’d never have to choose between Blood Moon and Silver Moon again.All she had to do was let go.Let go of Damian’s hand. Let go of her mother’s tears. Let go of her father’s broken attempt at being a man instead of a king. Let go of being Luna.Become the Third Moon. Eternal. Balanced. Alone forever.“Don’t,” Damian’s voice cracked. King-gold eyes were wild with fear. He was pulling her back, but his mortal strength was nothing against a goddess’s call. “You chose me. You chose us. Don’t leave.”Selene’s starlight eyes were sad but certain. “He cannot follow you there, child. No mortal lives as a moon. She would be eternal, and he would age and die in a breath. This is mercy.”“Mercy?” Luna gasped. Her feet were already lifting off the stone. Galaxy eyes half silver, half black. “Mercy is letting m

    Hundreds of them. Dragged across the black stone courtyard by wolves who wore no crowns, no marks, no pack tattoos. Just scars. Old scars. Freedom scars.Luna stood on the steps of the Court of Two Moons with Damian on one side, Valen on the other. Galaxy eyes tracked every chain, every scar.“They’re not here to fight,” Luna whispered. “They’re here to see if I’m real.”Valen’s jaw tightened. “The Free Wolves are legends. They rejected both Courts 200 years ago. Said kings and queens were just new chains. If they’re here for you…”“Then they think I’m the answer,” Luna finished.The chains stopped at the base of the steps. The wolves parted.And she walked out.Tall. Lean. Hair shaved on one side, long on the other. Eyes silver, but not like Luna’s. Older. Harder. A scar ran from her temple to her jaw. No crown. Just a collar around her neck. Broken. Open.The leader of the Free Wolves.She stopped three steps below Luna. Didn’t kneel. Didn’t bow. Just looked.“You’re the rumor,” she

    Three nights. That was all they had.Three nights before the Blood Altar ritual. Three nights before the Warlords arrived. Three nights before Luna had to decide if she was weapon or queen.She didn’t sleep. Neither did Damian.They trained. Not with Valen. Against him.The underground room was filled with red and silver light now. Luna’s power was changing. No longer just healing, no longer just taking. It was… balancing.“Again,” Valen commanded. He threw a bolt of red shadow at her.Luna caught it with silver light. But instead of destroying it, she wove it. Red thread, silver needle. When she released it, it became a shield. Red on the outside, silver on the inside.Valen stared. “You’re not choosing a side. You’re making a third.”“Good,” Luna said. Sweat dripped down her face. “Because I’m tired of choosing between my parents.”Damian watched from the edge, king-gold eyes sharp. He couldn’t fight with Alpha strength, but he’d learned new tricks. King by bond meant he could borro

    Cold. That was the first thing Luna felt.Not winter cold. Blood cold. The kind that crawled through your veins and told your bones you were in a place that didn’t want you alive.The portal spat them out onto black stone.The Blood Moon Court.No sky. Just a ceiling of swirling red clouds. No sun. Just three pale moons hanging like wounds. The air smelled like iron, old snow, and something sweeter. Decay.Damian stumbled beside her, king-gold eyes scanning instantly. One arm locked around her waist. “You okay?”Luna nodded. Her silver crown was dim here. The power felt… thinner. Like the Court was eating it.“Welcome home, daughter,” Valen’s voice echoed from everywhere and nowhere.He appeared on a throne made of bone and red crystal. Same crown. Same red eyes. But here, he looked bigger. Older. Like the Court itself was part of him.Guards lined the hall. Hundreds. All with red eyes. All kneeling, but not to Valen. To Luna.“Blood Moon blood,” one whispered. “The prophecy.”Luna’s

  • The Alpha’s Rejected Luna   Chapter 32: Blood Remembers

    “Hello, daughter.”The word hit harder than the monster’s claws. Harder than losing the Alpha title. Harder than the queen’s crown burning into Luna’s skin.Luna stumbled back a step. The cracked crown above her head flickered. “No. You’re dead. I saw… the council said…”The woman in the doorway smiled. Same silver eyes. Same sharp cheekbones. Same scar above her left eyebrow that Luna had in the mirror every morning.Her mother. Alive.“I’m Elena,” she said softly. “And I’m sorry I had to lie. But dead women don’t get hunted, Luna.”The chamber froze. The monster stopped mid-lunge. Even the shadows recoiled.Elder Mara dropped to her knees, weeping. “Elena… we buried you. We saw your body.”“You buried a glamour,” Elena said without looking at her. Her eyes never left Luna. “A corpse I made from moonlight and regret. I needed the Blood Moon Court to think they’d won. I needed you safe.”Luna’s legs gave out. Damian caught her before she hit the floor. His new king-gold eyes burned as

    The hall went silent when Alpha Derek pointed at her.“Lyra Blackwood. Step forward.”His voice wasn’t loud. It didn’t need to be. When an Alpha spoke, the whole Blood Moon Pack felt it in their bones. Fifty wolves turned. Fifty pairs of eyes. Fifty judgments.Lyra walked. Bare feet on cold stone.

    Luna woke to cold sheets and an empty space beside her. For five years, Asher’s body heat had been her alarm clock. His scent, pine and snow and something darker that was only him, told her she was safe before her eyes even opened. Tonight, there was only cold.Her hand moved to her stomach before
