Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 33
Chapter 33: Into the FireMy legs ached as I ran, my pulse pounding in my ears. The world faded into obscurity around me, the pandemonium of battle rushing into the background. My single thought, my sole preoccupation—My children.The warrior who bore them was swift, but I was swifter. I forced myself to move faster, weaving between bodies and blades, ignoring the pain flaring through my muscles. The sound of them crying pierced through the night, amplifying my desperation.“JESSICA!”There was Ethan’s voice, but I couldn’t stop. Couldn’t wait. Each second that ticked by was a second closer to losing them for good.The warrior burst into the treeline, his body blurring mid-step. He was attempting to shift to his wolf form, to run for the woods and beyond my tracking range.I decided I wasn’t about to let that go down.I jumped, pinning him to the floor. We slammed into the dirt, rolling violently. The hold he had on my babies slipped, and in that instant, I yanked them away from him,

Chapter 34: Dust and BonesThe battlefield was engulfed in darkness.I could hear the war howling around me, but I couldn’t see. Breath coming in sharp gasps, I was at my feet, my wolf growling in confusion. The earth shook beneath me, the otherworldly force reverberating in the air like a flesh-and-blood thing.The Order’s spell had worked.A new nightmare had been created.Bryan’s laughter sliced through nothingness, smooth and mocking. "Do you feel that, Jessica? The weight of inevitability? You never stood a chance."I curled my hands into fists, my fingernails puncturing my palms. “I don’t believe in something being inevitable.”A sharp wind swept by me, bringing within it the smell of burning magic. Gradually, the shadow withdrew just enough for me to see the person at the center of all this.Tall. Cloaked in shadow. Their presence suffocating.Their eyes—The same golden sheen of my children’s.My stomach turned. "What did you do?"The figure stepped forward; the ground beneath

Chapter 35: The Cost of WarJust outside the stone walls of Shadowfang, the fires burned low, casting eerie shadows along the stones. The atmosphere was heavy with the scent of blood and sweat, a bittersweet incense as warriors whispered to their wounds. A defeat was suffered, but the war was far from lost.I clenched the edges of the long war table, knuckles white. My children lay sleeping in the adjacent room, among some of the most loyal ever to serve a fortress. Their safety was all that was keeping me from falling apart.Ethan stood by my side, silent but always vigilant. Selene pushed against the far wall, crossed her arms, and peered into the room, as if waiting for another attack. Dorian roamed, his face a mask of less information. Rhea sat at the head of the table, wrapping a bandage around her arm, her gaze set and pensive.Finally she spoke up. “We need to discuss what happened out there.”I held my breath, my voice raspy. “And what do you mean by ‘how we were torn apart?

Chapter 36: The Path to RuinCallum’s words hung upon me like a crushing cloud. My mother had hidden me. They’d been hunting me long before I knew there had an Order out there in the world. And now, I was going to have my children.I clenched my fists. *No. They wouldn’t have them. *Ethan was next to me, his shoulders stiff. “Now, if what you’re saying is true, time is running out for us. Where do we find Elena?"Callum regarded us, his face impassive. “She doesn’t want anyone to find her.”Selene scoffed. "That’s not an answer. If she knows how to defeat the Order, she has to be found.”Callum exhaled sharply. "You think I haven’t tried? The second Elena knew what the Order was up to, she went into hiding. She cut off all contacts, retraced her steps, and was gone. “If she doesn’t want you to find her, you won’t.”Rhea leaned in, her voice layered with exasperation. "Then why are you here? If you can’t take us to her, what are you worth?Callum met her gaze evenly. “Because I can sh

Chapter 37: The Devil’s BargainRadiating within the chamber, they felt the air become laden with power, embued with something that felt both ancient and malevolent. The torches danced around in the dark and cast shadows that appeared to move under their own power. We were frozen in place, muscles tensed, breaths constricted.At the far end of the room, Elias grinned from his throne-like chair, his fingers interlocked in fun. He had a suffocating presence, felt in his orbit, the aura pressing down on us like a weight, a kind of guilt to make us feel little.I refused to be intimidated.I took a step forward, my voice a knife. "You know who I am. You know why I’m here. So stop wasting our time and speak.”Elias gave a slow, sardonic laugh. "Impatient, aren’t we?" His golden eyes gleamed. “You think you have any power in this room, Jessica Rivera? You’re the one who came into my territory. That makes you mine."Ethan growled beside me. Take her, and I’ll rip you apart.”Elias tilted his

Chapter 38: Also There Is a Choice, and It Is Worse Than DeathElias’s words rang in my ears like a death sentence.*You have to wipe out what they made. You must erase your own bloodline from time. *My blood ran cold. My breath hitched. My body refused to move.Ethan reacted first, growling low enough to vibrate the stone walls of the chamber. "That’s not a choice. That’s genocide."Elias stayed composed, his face inscrutable. "Call it what you will. But the Order isn’t going to rest until your kids are theirs, Jessica. They will come for them, and when that happens, you won’t be there to save them.” Not forever."I forced myself to breathe. Made myself think beyond the horror tightening my chest. “And what is it, exactly, that you think I should do? Murder my children myself before the Order can get to them? Because you really don’t know who I am, if you think that."Elias sighed and shook his head. "No, Jessica. I doubt if you have the fortitude to do what needs to be done. That’s

Chapter 39: The War We StartThe deal with Elias had the feel of a pact with the devil, but I had no illusions — we needed him. Every second lost was one second closer to the Order tightening its grasp over my children’s fates. I wasn’t going to let that happen.Our escape from the Obsidian Keep was a delicate dance of silence and urgency as we retraced our steps through the corridors. The Order would be searching for us soon, if they aren’t already.Ethan walked inches away from me, tension radiating off him in waves. "This was reckless. Even for you."I exhaled. “You think I don’t know that?His jaw tightened. "Then why agree to it? He’s dangerous."I halted and turned to face him completely. “Because we don’t know enough. We don’t have time to take our time. And because if we wait any longer, the Order wins.”Ethan’s eyes seared into me. “What if Elias betrays us?”I lifted my chin. "Then I’ll kill him myself."Ethan sighed, shaking his head, and there was a beat of silence between

Chapter 40: The Fire We SetAs we rode through the dusky woods, the sharp oats of our horses' hooves crashing into the dirt and the sporadic hoot of an owl punctured the air. The moon was high, pouring pale silver light through the trees, but it did nothing to alleviate the heaviness pressing against my breast.The Origin Chamber. The place where it all began. Where the Order lay down the first attempts at perfecting the wolf, the first abominations that led to the monstrosities we fought now. If we could destroy it, we could cut a major artery in their power.We had one chance, and if we blew it, there would be no second try.”Elias rode next to me, his golden eyes on me with an intensity I didn’t like. He was unreadable, as usual, playing his own game. I didn’t trust him. But I needed him.He smirked. “More like it,” said Jessica, returning to her former self. Planning on how you’re going to survive this?”I didn’t look at him. “Figuring out how not to cut my back.”Elias chuckled.

Chasing my Luna Chapter 112
Chapter 112 – The Black Star’s WhisperThe black star hung in the nexus’s starfield, a void within the void, its lightless glow swallowing the warmth of the wolf, the witch, and “Unity Is Strength”. Jessica led her companions along the new path, her steps heavy, the hollowness in her chest a silent scream where her spark once burned. Lysara’s defeat, her grandmother’s grief unraveled by love had restored the nexus’s balance, but the whisper from the black star “The loom is eternal, but the weaver changes” carried a menace that chilled her bones. A new weaver waited, and their shadow felt colder, hungrier, than any they’d faced.Kade’s presence was a steady anchor, his amber eyes scanning the path’s obsidian surface, veined with faint, pulsing black threads. “This star’s different,” he said, his voice low, claws glinting. “It’s not just watching us. It’s… pulling.”Selene’s spectral form glided beside him, her light dim but sharp, her gaze fixed on the black star. “It’s not part of th

Chapter 111 – The Silver Loom’s EdgeThe silver star pulsed in the nexus’s starfield, its cold light a stark contrast to the fading warmth of the familiar constellations—the wolf, the witch, and “Unity Is Strength”. Jessica stood at the head of the path, her companions close, but the hollowness in her chest was a void now, her spark extinguished after unraveling Arachne’s loom. Lysara’s revelation, her grandmother, her mother’s mother, as the true architect of the nexus’s turmoil cut deeper than any blade. The single crimson thread Lysara had left behind floated in her mind’s eye, a taunt and a promise of a battle yet to come.Kade’s hand brushed hers, his amber eyes fierce but shadowed with worry. “You’re running on empty, Jess. We face this Lysara, and you’ve got nothing left.”“I’ve got you,” she said, her voice steady despite the ache. “All of you. That’s enough.”Selene’s spectral form flickered, her light dim but her gaze sharp as she studied the silver star. “Lysara’s power is

Chapter 110 – The Nexus of Crimson StarsThe crimson portal’s light swallowed them, a searing rush that burned away the nexus’s warmth and spat them into a realm of jagged, blood-red stars. The air was sharp, laced with a metallic tang, and the ground beneath their feet was a mosaic of shattered stone, veined with pulsing crimson threads. Above, a chaotic nexus churned, its constellations twisted into snarling shapes—no wolf, no witch, only jagged forms that seemed to claw at the void. Arachne’s domain. Jessica’s hollowness throbbed, her spark a faint flicker, but the shadowed figure’s whisper—*“You’ll see me soon, Jessica. And you’ll wish you hadn’t”*—drove her forward.Kade’s growl rumbled beside her, his claws glinting in the crimson light. “This place feels like a cage. She’s waiting for us.”“She’s not just waiting,” Selene said, her spectral form dim but alert, her eyes tracing the threads in the ground. “She’s weaving. Every step we take is part of her design.”Lucas gripped h

Chapter 109 – The Loom’s ShadowThe nexus’s starfield shimmered around them, its constellations—the wolf, the witch, and “Unity Is Strength”—glowing with a fragile warmth that felt like a reprieve. Yet, as Jessica and her companions stepped off the path from the crimson star’s platform, the air carried a subtle discord, a faint echo of Arachne’s cold promise: “The loom endures.” The hollowness in Jessica’s chest pulsed, her spark a mere ember after claiming the obelisk, but her resolve burned fierce. Arachne, the True Weaver, was weakened, not defeated, and the crimson star’s lingering glow was a reminder that the balance they’d fought for hung by a thread.Kade’s hand lingered on her arm, his amber eyes searching her face. “You pushed yourself too far back there, Jess. That obelisk… it took something from you.”She met his gaze, the hollowness aching but her voice steady. “It gave me something too. I’m not just a needle in her loom anymore. I can weave my own path.”Selene’s spectra

Chapter 108 – The Crimson ThreadThe crimson star burned in the distance, its light a stark wound against the nexus’s starfield, casting long shadows that danced across the newly formed path. Jessica led the way, her steps steady despite the hollowness in her chest, now a constant companion after freeing Echo. The warmth of her sister’s final smile lingered, a fragile anchor against the growing dread stirred by the new voice—*“The true weaver watches”*—and the image of the armored figure in a nexus of dying stars. The balance they’d fought for felt like a thin thread, stretched to breaking.Kade’s presence beside her was a quiet strength, his claws retracted but his amber eyes sharp, scanning the void. “This star feels different,” he said, his voice low. “Like it’s pulling us in.”“It is,” Selene murmured, her spectral form gliding just ahead. Her light was faint, strained from the battle with Echo’s shadows, but her focus was unwavering. “The nexus is reacting to something—someone—be

Chapter 105 – The Heart of ChaosThe path to the twisted nexus stretched before them, a ribbon of black stone that shimmered like oil under the jagged starlight of the Shadow Veil. Each step echoed with a low, resonant hum, as if the void itself were breathing. Jessica led the way, her spark pulsing in rhythm with the violet light emanating from the structure ahead—a grotesque mockery of the nexus, its spires coiling like serpents around a core that throbbed with chaotic energy. The Weaver’s warning—*“The heart knows your name”*—clung to her like frost, chilling her resolve but not breaking it.Kade walked beside her, his claws glinting, his amber eyes scanning the void for threats. “This place feels like it’s alive,” he muttered, his voice low. “And it doesn’t like us.”“It’s not about liking,” Selene said, her spectral form gliding just above the path. Her light was faint but steady, her gaze fixed on the nexus. “It’s about hunger. Whatever’s in there—it feeds on disruption, on the

Chapter 106 – The Echo of AbsenceThe nexus’s starfield enveloped them, its familiar constellations—the wolf, the witch, and the blazing “Unity Is Strength”—casting a gentle glow that felt like home after the frigid chaos of the Shadow Veil. Yet, as Jessica stood among her companions, the warmth couldn’t touch the hollowness in her chest. Binding the Chaos entity had cost her a piece of her spark, and its absence was a quiet ache, like a missing heartbeat. The air hummed with restored balance, but the shadow figure they’d glimpsed in the void lingered in her mind, a silent promise of trouble yet to come.Kade’s hand rested on her shoulder, his touch grounding her. “You okay, Jess?” His amber eyes searched hers, worry etched into his furrowed brow.She forced a smile, though it felt brittle. “I’m here. That’s enough for now.”Lucas shifted uncomfortably, his dagger sheathed but his fingers twitching. “That thing we saw—whatever it was, it wasn’t part of the Chaos. Felt… personal.”Sele

Chapter 104 – The Shadow BeyondThe crumbling fortress roared around them, obsidian walls fracturing as the ground bucked like a living thing. Dust and ash choked the air, but Jessica’s eyes were fixed on the new portal that had yawned open behind her father’s shattered throne. Its edges pulsed with a sickly violet light, framing a starfield that was nothing like the nexus they knew. This one was frigid, its stars dim and jagged, as if carved from broken glass. The whisper that had emerged from it—“You’ve only begun to see the truth”—lingered in her mind, cold and sharp as a blade.“Jess, we gotta move!” Kade’s voice cut through the chaos, his hand grabbing her arm. His wolf form was gone, but his amber eyes burned with urgency as debris rained down.She nodded, tearing her gaze from the portal. “Go! Now!”The group sprinted toward the collapsing chamber’s exit, dodging falling stones and leaping over fissures that split the floor. Selene’s spectral form wove spells to deflect debris
