The Alpha Queen Returns – Chapter 16
The war had begun.
And the first strike of Killian Darkmoon was merciless.
The Western Border – Burning Territory
Entire villages lay in ruins.
Black smoke covered the sky as rogue wolves tore through border defenses.
Royal soldiers fought desperately, but every clash ended the same way—
Overwhelming power.
Absolute destruction.
At the center of the battlefield stood a shadow cloaked in crimson energy.
Killian Darkmoon.
He didn’t even need to raise his voice.
With a single gesture, dozens of warriors collapsed.
A rogue commander knelt before him.
“My Lord, the western line is secured.”
Darkmoon didn’t look at him.
“Where is she?”
The commander hesitated.
“The Queen is mobilizing the Royal Army.”
A faint smile formed on Darkmoon’s lips.
“Good.”
He lifted his gaze toward the distant horizon.
“Then she is coming.”
Royal War Camp – Jessica’s Command
Inside a massive war tent, Jessica stood over a tactical map.
Red markers spread across multiple border regions.
Each one marked a fallen outpost.
Sarabeth entered quickly.
“My Queen, casualties are increasing faster than predicted.”
Jessica didn’t move.
Her eyes were locked on one name.
Killian Darkmoon.
“How many civilians evacuated?”
“Less than forty percent.”
A silence followed.
Jessica’s aura slowly began to rise.
The air in the tent turned heavy.
“No more retreat.”
Sarabeth looked up sharply.
“My Queen?”
Jessica turned.
“We end this tonight.”
Inside Jessica’s Mind
Caroline’s face appeared in her thoughts.
Bruised.
Drugged.
Terrified.
Then the words echoed again.
“Return my Moon Wolf… or the kingdom burns.”
Jessica’s eyes darkened.
“So that’s your goal…”
She finally understood.
This was never just war.
It was possession.
Russo Family Prison Chamber (Earlier Memory)
Caroline lay weak on the floor.
Reva’s voice echoed.
“You’re nothing but a slave.”
Rex’s threat followed.
“I’ll kill your mother.”
Jessica’s fist tightened.
The memory shattered.
Back to the War Camp
Jessica slammed her hand on the table.
“All units advance.”
Sarabeth nodded immediately.
“Yes, My Queen.”
Mina hesitated.
“What about the capital defense?”
Jessica’s answer was instant.
“There will be no defense.”
Sarabeth frowned.
“Meaning?”
Jessica looked at her.
“Because we are not defending.”
A cold silence filled the tent.
“We are attacking Darkmoon directly.”
Darkmoon Fortress – The Enemy Moves
Deep underground, Killian Darkmoon stood before a massive ritual circle glowing blood red.
Rogue Alphas gathered around him.
The air trembled with unstable power.
A priest-like rogue bowed.
“My Lord, the Queen has mobilized.”
Darkmoon smiled.
“She is faster than I expected.”
He stepped into the center of the circle.
“Perfect.”
A surge of dark energy erupted.
The ground cracked.
The rogues around him knelt instantly.
“Prepare the Blood Moon Gate.”
His voice echoed like a curse.
“When she arrives…”
His eyes glowed crimson.
“I want her to witness the birth of a new world.”
Royal Army – March to War
Thousands of Royal soldiers moved through the night.
Armor shining under moonlight.
Jessica rode at the front.
Beside her, Sarabeth spoke quietly.
“My Queen… Darkmoon is not like the Russo family.”
Jessica didn’t respond.
Sarabeth continued.
“He’s waiting for you.”
Jessica’s grip tightened on her sword.
“Then I will meet him.”
A pause.
“And end him.”
The Final Convergence Begins
At the edge of the battlefield, two forces approached each other.
Royal banners.
Rogue shadows.
Light against darkness.
Jessica raised her sword.
Across the field, Killian Darkmoon raised his hand.
The wind stopped.
The battlefield fell into absolute silence.
Then—
Both forces surged forward.
And the final war for the wolf kingdom began.
