The Blackwood Shadow
Summary
The Blackwood Shadow: War of the Moonbound
They freed Damon Halloway because they needed a monster who remembered how to smile.
The Council chamber answered him when he took the High Alpha’s seat. Once, fate had named him Natalia Blackwood’s mate.
Once, he had destroyed her.
Now he had returned to finish the work.
Natalia stood before them, the land awake beneath her feet, wolves and witches and things the Council had outlawed gathered behind her. Not in obedience. In defiance.
“By Council law,” Damon said, “you are sentenced to death.”
Xander moved first. Dark Howlers Alpha. Chosen mate.
“I challenge.”
The ancient runes sealed the trial like a curse.
Natalia lifted her hand, and the chamber shuddered.
“I don’t lead by blood,” she said quietly. “I lead by who you are when power can’t protect you.”
The moon rose red.
The lie broke.
And the war began.
