Brynn Hollis' POV

I couldn't see the battle from behind the fallen tree.

But I could hear it. The clash of steel. The howls of dying wolves. And above it all, Vesper's voice, chanting words I didn't recognize.

The ritual had begun.

Luna Rose nursed at my breast, oblivious to the war around her. I held her close, one hand on her tiny head, and strained to hear Dax's voice among the chaos.

Come back to me, I thought. Come back.

Farrah crouched beside me, blade drawn, eyes scanning the trees.

  • The Rogue Luna's Revenge    Nox's Fate

    Brynn Hollis' POVNox did not wake.The void had left him present—whole, solid, alive. But it had also left him something else. Exhausted. The battle with the fragment had taken everything he had, and his body needed time to remember how to be.Solara worked over him for days."He is not injured. He is not frozen. He is simply... resting.""Resting from what?""From being nothing. From becoming something. From holding the void inside himself and choosing to let it go.""How long will he sleep?""I do not know. As long as he needs."---I sat beside him every night.Not because I could help him—because I needed to be there. Nox had been nothing, then something, then everything. He had chosen to absorb the void so that others would not have to. He had chosen to become present."Wake up," I whispered. "We need you."His paw twitched.I held my breath.Then it was still.---Luna Rose came to me on the fifth night."Mama, I saw him in a vision. He is not gone. He is walking.""Walking whe

  • The Rogue Luna's Revenge    The Eclipse's Backlash

    Brynn Hollis' POV Dawn's transformation was not complete. She had chosen a new name. She had chosen presence over absence. She had chosen the Circle over the void. But the void did not let go easily. It lingered in the corners of her mind, a whisper of cold, a memory of emptiness. I saw it first in her eyes. They flickered—one moment bright, the next hollow. She was fighting something inside herself. She did not tell me what it was. Then the attacks began. --- Not from the followers—from Dawn herself. She did not mean to hurt anyone. She was walking through the garden when the cold exploded from her chest, freezing the flowers, the grass, the stones. Wolves stumbled back, their breath fogging, their fur frosting. "Dawn!" She turned. Her eyes were not her own. "I cannot control it," she said. "The void is still inside me." "We removed the shard." "It left something behind. A seed. It is growing." --- Luna Rose ran to her. The cold did not touch Luna Rose. Her Seer light protected her.

  • The Rogue Luna's Revenge    Nox's Sacrifice

    Brynn Hollis' POVThe void shard was cracked but not destroyed.Dawn had touched it, weakened it, broken its hold on the followers. But a fragment remained—a splinter of absence, buried deep in the frozen wastes, pulsing with cold light. The followers who had not come south were guarding it, desperate to rebuild what they had lost.Luna Rose saw it in her visions."They are rebuilding. Slowly. But they are.""Can we stop them?""Only if we destroy the fragment completely.""Then we go."---The journey to the frozen wastes took four days.Nox led us this time. His nothing-touch could sense the fragment, could feel its cold pulse even from a distance. He walked with purpose, his ancient form steady, his eyes fixed on the horizon."It is close," he said. "I can feel it.""How close?""Half a day's journey. But the followers are guarding it.""Then we fight."He looked at me. "Not you. Me.""No.""I am nothing. Or I was. The fragment is nothing. I can touch it without being consumed.""A

  • The Rogue Luna's Revenge    The Void Shard

    Brynn Hollis' POVThe shard's removal changed everything.Dawn—the wolf who had once been the Eclipse—was no longer absence. She was presence. Solid, real, vulnerable. She walked through Silver Creek like a stranger in a familiar land, touching walls, smelling flowers, listening to the laughter of pups."I have never heard laughter," she said."Now you have.""It is... strange.""Good strange?"She considered. "Yes. Good strange."---But the shard's removal had consequences we had not foreseen.The followers who had once been frozen by the shard's power were now free—but not all of them chose to thaw. Some clung to the cold, desperate for the absence they had known. They gathered in the frozen wastes, leaderless, directionless.Then they found a new leader.Not a wolf—a remnant. A fragment of the void that had been left behind when the shard was removed. It was not as powerful as the original, but it was enough."They are building something," Luna Rose said. "A new shard. Not from ab

  • The Rogue Luna's Revenge    The Discovery

    Brynn Hollis' POVThe Eclipse's transformation was not complete.She had lost her emptiness—the void that had defined her existence for millennia. But something else remained. A thread, cold and silver, connecting her to a place she could not name.Luna Rose saw it first."Mama, there's something inside her. A shard. It's not hers—it's holding her.""A shard?""Of the original void. Before the Moon Goddess created wolves. Before anything. It's been inside her since she was born."I called the Eclipse to the garden.She came slowly, her steps uncertain. Her form was solid now, her eyes bright with the effort of presence."You asked for me.""Sit."She sat.Luna Rose approached her, her small hands hovering over the Eclipse's chest."There's something inside you. A shard of the void. It's been there since the beginning."The Eclipse's eyes widened."I did not know.""That's because you didn't want to know. If you knew, you would have to let it go.""What happens if I let it go?"Luna Ro

  • The Rogue Luna's Revenge    The Eclipse's Wrath

    Brynn Hollis' POVThe attack came at midnight.Not from the frozen wastes—from within. The followers who had retreated had not gone far. They had circled back, silent as shadows, and struck at the heart of the Circle's newest settlement. A pack of gray wolves who had only just begun to thaw.Mira's wolves.I felt it through the bond—a flash of cold, sharp and sudden. Then silence."Mira!"I ran. Dax was beside me before I reached the gate."What happened?""Her pack. They're under attack.""The followers?""Yes."---We reached the settlement at dawn.It was small—a cluster of huts, a communal fire, a garden that had just begun to bloom. Now it was frozen. Wolves lay on the ground, their bodies cold, their spirits taken. Mira stood in the center, her ancient eyes hollow."They came at midnight," she said. "They did not fight. They just... took.""Where are they now?""Gone. Into the wastes. They left this."She held out a piece of frozen parchment.You cannot protect them. You cannot
