Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 50

The moonlight cast an eerie glow over the forest as Cassian stood watch on the northern perimeter. The scent of pine and damp earth surrounded him, but his focus was entirely on the darkness beyond the trees. Nathan approached quietly, his wolf form shifting back as he stepped out of the shadows.

“No movement so far,” Nathan reported, his tone low. “The scouts confirm that Magnus’s forces are still gathering at the mountain pass.”

Cassian nodded, his jaw tight. “That doesn’t mean we can let our guard down. They’re waiting for something—or someone.”

Nathan frowned. “You think Fenrir’s planning another attack?”

“Not just an attack,” Cassian replied. “He wants to break us. And if Magnus is involved, it won’t be subtle.”

Nathan hesitated, then said, “Aurora’s been asking questions about Magnus. About the kind of power he has.”

Cassian’s expression darkened. “She doesn’t need to worry about him. That’s my job.”

“She’s stronger than you think,” Nathan said. “But she’s still grieving. If Magnus becomes a threat to her directly…”

Cassian didn’t let him finish. “He won’t get that chance.”

Back in the camp, Aurora was restless. The quiet of the healer’s quarters felt suffocating, and she found herself wandering through the central grounds. The wolves she passed nodded respectfully, though their expressions were wary.

She reached the training grounds, where a few younger wolves were practicing under Iris’s guidance. Iris waved her over, her smile bright despite the tension in the air.

“You look like you could use some fresh air,” Iris said.

Aurora managed a faint smile. “Something like that.”
