The Last Moon of Eldervale
Alden, a teenage boy from the quiet village of Greywood, watches his life collapse in a single night when a massive werewolf army attacks without warning. His girlfriend Mara is slaughtered before his eyes, and his knight-father dies defending the village. By dawn, Greywood is gone, and Alden is the only surviving member of his family.
Broken and desperate, he joins a band of knights fleeing to the capital to seek help. Among them is Rowan Vale, a legendary warrior whose strength becomes Alden’s only anchor. But their journey turns into a nightmare.
Seeking shelter, the survivors reach a nearby village only to discover it trades human captives to the wolves in exchange for safety. A bloody battle follows, leaving only Alden and Rowan alive. Rowan is gravely wounded and sacrifices himself to buy Alden time to escape.
When Alden reaches the capital, he finds it already overtaken by the curse. The king has allied with the Wolf King, planning to transform the entire kingdom into wolves he can control. Alden attacks the king, but the wolves capture him.
In a dungeon, Alden finds Rowan still alive but tortured. The Wolf King forces Alden to choose: join the wolves, or watch Rowan die. Alden resists until Rowan screams in agony and finally breaks. He agrees to transform.
A monstrous new power awakens in Alden. He becomes a werewolf stronger than any before him. He breaks his chains and destroys the cursed capital.
At dawn, Alden returns to the ruins of Greywood, places the Wolf King’s head on the altar, and ends his own life to break the curse forever.
His story becomes legendary tale of a boy forged into a monster by grief, and redeemed by the choice to end the darkness himself.

Chapter: Chapter 17 : RUN!!!Alden’s POV The moment we crossed the tree line, the world narrowed to breath, hoofbeats, and the thin orange glow of torches bobbing like nervous hearts in the dark Tree branches clawed at our cloaks and the roots twisted beneath our horses’ hooves. The smell of blood, pine, and damp earth mixed into something sharp and uneasy.She had gone this way.I could feel it.Not because of tracks although there were some including broken branches.“Slow,” Rowan ordered from the front. “Watch the ground.”But then“There!” Thomas shouted.A shadow broke free from the trees to our left.It moved fast.“Ride!” Rowan roared as we surged forward.Hoseman's POV I kicked my horse hard with my lungs burning as the branches whipped past my face. The shadow darted between trees, cloak flaring pale for just a heartbeat before vanishing again.“She’s heading downhill!” Fallon yelled.The forest thinned suddenly.The trees opened into a wide clearing and beyond itRuins.A deserted village crouched in

Chapter: Chapter 16 : Blood And ChainsThe Priest's POV “ARRRGH!!” I screamed as the pain exploded through my arm before I could stop it, raw and animal, ripping through the stillness of the camp like a battle horn. My hand was pinned to the wagon, iron biting into flesh, bone screaming in protest as blood poured freely down the wood.I staggered back with my knees buckling.The world tilted.The forest answered my cry with chaos.Shouts erupted. Boots pounded earth. Armor clanged. Firelight flared brighter as the men scrambled from their sleep into horror.I clutched my arm as I tried and failed to stay upright.“She...she....” I tried to speak but darkness crept at the edges of my sightHoseman's POV The scream i heard yanked me from my sleep like a blade to the gut.I was on my feet before my mind even caught up and with my spear in hand and my heart hammering as I sprinted toward the wagon. Others poured in from every direction including Rowan, Alden, Thomas, Fallon with half-armored, weapons drawn and their faces

Chapter: Chapter 15 : The NightWatchHoseman's POVThe fire behind me had burned down to embers by the time I reached the wagon.I hated this part of the night where sleep pulled at your bones but duty kept your feet planted. The forest felt closer now, pressing in from all sides. The wagon loomed in front of me like a coffin on wheels, quiet except for the faint creak of wood and the barely audible sound of breathing inside.I adjusted my grip on my spear and paced slightly.“She’s just a girl,” I muttered to myself. “Chained, gagged, and wrapped in wool. What’s she going to do, glare me to death?”Still… I didn’t turn my back on the wagon.Every so often, the firelight glowed just enough for me to catch the outline of her through the slats. She wasn’t sleeping. I could feel her awareness like a weight.Time dragged.Then footsteps crunched behind me.I turned lifting my spear instinctively but relaxed when I saw the priest and Sir Edric approaching. The priest’s robes swayed with each step and the book tucked under his

Chapter: Chapter 14 : PromisesAlden’s POVThe fire burned lower as the night deepened.Above us, the sky was a heavy cloak scattered with thin, tired stars. The wind had gone quiet, as if it too had settled in to listen to the last scraps of laughter drifting around the camp. Our breaths rose in faint clouds. The smell of charred meat and pine resin lingered, wrapping everything in an illusion of warmth and safety.Illusions never last long tho.Rowan stood first.He didn’t say anything. He rarely announced his intentions. He simply pushed himself up, brushed ash from his gloves, and moved toward the wagon like a shadow breaking away from the others.My gaze followed him automatically.The wagon sat on the fringe of firelight, half-swallowed by darkness. The faint glow revealed only its shape and the thin seam of light where the slats separated. Beyond that, blackness and the quiet sense of something watching back.Rowan paused for a moment beside the supply crate. He picked up a loaf of hard bread, wrapped a str

Chapter: Chapter 13 : Stones and StoriesAlden’s POVThe wagon creaked like an old throat clearing itself.They bound the girl carefully, as if touching a loaded trap. Iron cuffs at her wrists. Rope at her ankles. A padded gag tied loosely enough that she could breathe but not chant the villagers had insisted. Wooden slats enclosed the wagon like ribs. Only a thin opening at the back allowed light and air.She climbed up without resistance, one foot after another, eyes lowered. No more feral thrashing. No violent, snapping strength.Just quiet.That, somehow, was worse.The village head watched from his chair beneath the eaves. His people stood clustered together behind him, shoulders touching, fear holding them tighter than arms ever could. Mothers clutched children. Old men leaned on canes that shook more than they did.“May the monks judge swiftly,” the village head said.Rowan gave a single nod. “They will.”We mounted our horses. The men on the wagon flicked the reins. The wheels rolled over the packed dirt.For one br

Chapter: Chapter 12 : Chains and SmilesAlden’s POVThe fury did not end in the hall.It followed us like a shadow.The village head did not shout. He did not threaten. He merely lifted one trembling hand, and the soldiers understood and steel rang.We were dragged from the longhouse with none of the ceremony we had been granted before. The villagers watched again, but now their hollow faces held something sharper with resentment, fear, accusation. As if our refusal had already sealed their fate.I stumbled as we were pushed down a narrow stone stairway beneath one of the buildings near the square. The air grew colder with every step, damp seeping through my boots. The smell changed to mold, rust, old sweat.A prison.Iron doors lined the corridor, their bars thick and dark with age. Torchlight flickered, casting warped shadows that made the walls seem to breathe.They threw us inside separate cells.Rowan was locked two cells down from me. I heard the scrape of his chains, the solid thud as the door slammed shut. Hoseman
