His arrival disrupts a sacred ritual on Earth and leads to the death of Alpha Kael, the leader of the Earth-pack, leaving his son Lucien to inherit the title and a lifelong thirst for vengeance. Two centuries later, Lucien, now a cold and feared Alpha, hunts relentlessly for the mysterious silver-eyed wolf who destroyed his world. Meanwhile, Riven, living in secret under the alias "Rye," hides in a quiet Earth town, suppressing his wolf and haunted by the past. When Amara, a curious and empathic young woman, walks into Rivens life, fate stirs again. As they grow closer, their connection awakens ancient forces, forgotten truths, and the looming danger of the next Moon Rift. War brews as Earth and Lunaris inch toward another collision, with Riven and Lucien on opposite sides-and Amara at the heart of a prophecy that could save both worlds or doom them forever.

MOONS OF THE RIFT Chapter 1 THE MOON RIFT

Chapter 1: The Moon Rift

They say when the twin moons align, time forgets which world belongs to whom.

In the ancient sky of Lunaris, the red-tinged moon burned brighter than it had in centuries. The air shimmered with ancestral magic. Fire pits crackled across the great stone circle of the Bloodhowl Pack, casting dancing shadows over the gathering wolves in their humanoid forms-tall, sharp-eyed, with power radiating from their skin.

Tonight was sacred. Tonight was the Moon Rift-a celestial crossing that occurred only once every two hundred years. During this rare alignment, the moons of Earth and Lunaris swapped energies, tearing open a fragile rift between the worlds. It was a moment of immense power...and danger.

Alpha Zharion, old and crowned with silver fur even in his human form, raised his hands to silence the pack. His voice was deep, calm, weighted with centuries of wisdom.

"We gather not only to honor our ancestors, but to bind our realm with strength. With clarity. With unity. We stand on sacred blood-and under borrowed light."

Beside him stood Riven, the rising warrior of the Bloodhowl Pack. Broad-shouldered, eyes like silver storms, and battle-scarred. Chosen to stand at the center of the circle, he was to channel the energy of the moon during the ritual. Riven was powerful-but untested in rift magic. His blood pulsed with anticipation and dread.

As chants rose from the crowd, the red Lunaris moon began to dim-slowly shifting in hue. In its place, a pale blue light began to pulse through the clouds above.

The Earth moon.

On another world, far across dimensions, Earth's moon now glowed with Lunaris' fire.

The exchange had begun.

*

EARTH - Same Moment

The clearing was silent except for the hush of wind weaving through the ancient trees. Then, the first howl rose-a low, reverent note that trembled the grass. One by one, the others joined in, forming a haunting chorus under the shifting sky.

In the dense woods of the Appalachian region, the Nightclaw Pack gathered. Earth's wolves, bound by a different rhythm, yet honoring the same ancestral ties. Their ritual was simpler, less ceremonial-marked by howls and blood-marks on bark and stone.

The Nightclaw Pack stood in a half-moon formation around a ring of carved stones etched with blood and ash. In the center, Alpha Kael stood tall in partial shift-muscles taut, amber eyes glowing beneath a furrowed brow. His gray coat shimmered under the red-tinted moonlight. He led with strength, commanding loyalty and calmness.

Lucien stood at the edge of the circle, his youthful face tense with focus. He had yet to fully shift. At sixteen, he was still in training. His father had promised that tonight, if the moon accepted him, he'd take his first steps toward claiming his birthright.

He would be Alpha someday. But not today.

Lucien's heart raced as he watched his father step into the center. Kael raised his clawed hands toward the red-glowing moon.

"In the name of blood, moon, and beast, we honor the bond," Kael intoned. "We open our spirits to the ancestral light. We offer our strength to the moon and its twin, and we call forth unity in the rift."

The wolves howled again-louder this time, their voices merging with the thickening pulse of the night. The light of the moon began to shift-reddening, swirling, strange. An electric wind brushed the skin of every living thing in the clearing.

LUNARIS

Back in the Bloodhowl circle, the energy surged. Too fast. Too strong. Riven's body arched in pain as the magic overtook him. His skin seared. His bones shifted, then locked. Something was wrong.

Alpha Zharion shouted, "Hold the channel-Riven!"

But the rift had its own mind.

A beam of moonlight struck the center of the stone ring, where Riven stood. With a blinding flash, he vanished.

*

*EARTH* -- Ritual Ground

Lucien's breath caught. He turned his gaze to the sky-and that's when it happened.

A crack-not thunder, but something dimensional. The sky split.

A bolt of shimmering, silver-blue energy pierced through the night and slammed into the center of the ritual circle. The stone ring shattered. A form fell from the rift like a meteor-furred, howling, alien.

Riven.

He hit the earth with a thunderous thud, landing on one knee. His eyes-piercing silver-flashed with confusion and pain. He was fully shifted, but leaner, taller, unlike anything Lucien had seen.

The Earth-pack wolves backed away in stunned silence, then growled in unison.

Alpha Kael stepped forward. "Identify yourself."

Riven staggered to his feet. "Where... where am I?"

Lucien felt a jolt of unease. This wolf wasn't just lost. He carried power. Old, raw power.

"Back away!" Kael shouted, now fully shifted into his battle form. "You're trespassing on sacred ground-"

The Nightclaw wolves lunged, mistaking him for an intruder. Riven defended himself, claws slashing reflexively. Kael leapt toward him-just as a bolt of lunar energy from the rift misfired and struck the Alpha mid-charge.

A flash of claws. A howl. Then-

A blinding burst of rift-light shot down like a divine spear, catching Kael mid-air. He dropped instantly, without a sound.

Kael dropped.

Dead.

Lucien screamed, pushing forward, but the rift flickered violently-

The wolves exploded into chaos. Some attacked Riven on instinct. He fought back just enough to survive-deflecting, dodging, not killing-until he vanished into the trees.

Lucien's breath hitched. His father's blood still steaming on the grass. All he could remember were those silver eyes.

And the hate was born.

Lucien screamed. "Father!"

The wolves exploded into chaos. Some attacked Riven on instinct. He fought back just enough to survive-deflecting, dodging, not killing-until he vanished into the trees.

Lucien dropped to his knees beside Kael's body. His hands trembled. His father's fur was matted with blood, his golden eyes frozen in shock.

The young wolf didn't weep.

He simply stared up at the twin moons-one red, one blue-and let his rage harden into a promise.

"I will find you. And I will end you."

*

200 YEARS LATER

The Earth moon hung pale over a sleepy mountain town. The past was legend now. But Lucien had never forgotten.

And neither had Riven.

He now lived under the name "Rye," running a woodshop in town. The werewolf in him buried deep-but never fully asleep.

Every full moon, he locked himself away.

He didn't run with a pack. He didn't kill. He didn't live.

He survived.

But this year-the Moon Rift would return.

And fate was already moving.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
