Breaking the Chains
The halls of the Silver Moon palace buzzed with tension. Servants whispered behind closed doors, warriors sharpened their blades, and strategists hunched over maps, tracing out defensive positions.
Though Noelle had passed the trials, though she had been crowned Luna, the Silver Moon Kingdom was still bound by a chain—one forged in the absence of true leadership.
For years, the Crimson Moon Pack had exerted silent control over Silver Moon, seizing its lands, resources, and autonomy. Without an Alpha or Luna to stand against them, Silver Moon had become a vassal state, forced to send tributes and warriors to fight in Crimson Moon's wars.
Now, Noelle stood at the precipice of change.
She had taken the crown, but ruling was not enough. She had to free her people.
And that meant war.
