Chapter 20: The power of the Moon
475 Words
The battlefield trembled beneath the clash of two Alphas.
Kael’s massive Lycan form towered over the warriors around him, black fur bristling as his glowing golden eyes burned with fury.
Across from him, Magnus stood firm.
Blood stained the corner of his mouth—yet he was still smiling.
“Impressive,” Magnus said, circling slowly. “You truly are the strongest king this kingdom has ever had.”
Kael growled low.
“And you’re still the same traitor who thinks he deserves my throne.”
Magnus chuckled softly.
“I don’t want your throne.”
His gaze shifted past Kael—
Straight to Alina.
“I want the power standing behind you.”
Kael roared and charged.
The massive wolf slammed into Magnus, sending him crashing across the battlefield. The ground cracked beneath the impact.
But Magnus recovered quickly.
His blade flashed upward—
SLASH!
It cut across Kael’s shoulder.
A snarl tore from the Lycan King’s chest.
The wound wasn’t deep—
But it was enough to remind everyone watching:
This was not a one-sided fight.
Nearby, Alina struggled to steady her breathing.
The silver aura around her body pulsed, growing stronger with every passing second. Above her, the moonlight intensified, pouring down like a living force.
It felt different now.
Stronger.
Alive.
“What is happening to me…?” she whispered.
Suddenly—
A rebel wolf lunged toward her.
“Take the Moon-Bound!”
Alina reacted instinctively.
She raised her hands—
But this time, the power didn’t explode outward.
It focused.
A sharp beam of silver light shot forward.
BOOM!
The wolf was thrown backward, skidding across the battlefield.
Silence rippled through the nearby warriors.
Alina stared at her hands.
“I… controlled it?”
Across the battlefield, Magnus saw it.
His expression sharpened.
“Interesting.”
He forced Kael back with a powerful strike and stepped away.
“You’re evolving faster than expected.”
Kael moved instantly, placing himself between Magnus and Alina.
“You’re not getting near her.”
Magnus wiped the blood from his lip.
“You’re missing the bigger picture, King.”
He pointed toward the sky.
The moon above burned brighter than ever.
The silver light surrounding Alina had become almost blinding.
“That power is awakening fully,” Magnus said.
“And when it does…”
His smile darkened.
“Everything changes.”
Suddenly—
A thunderous roar shook the battlefield.
Not from either army.
Every warrior froze.
Another roar followed.
Closer.
Heavier.
The ground trembled.
Kael’s expression changed instantly.
He knew that sound.
“Impossible…” he muttered.
Alina looked at him.
“What is it?”
Kael’s gaze fixed on the distant mountains.
His voice dropped.
“Something far worse than this rebellion.”
A massive shadow moved in the distance.
Not a wolf.
Not a Lycan.
Something else.
And it was coming.
