Chapter 103: The Silence of Blood

The trees whispered like traitors.

Their branches clawed at the moonlight, casting long, skeletal shadows across the forest floor as I ran—barefoot, bloodied, and breathless. My legs ached, my lungs burned, but the only thing I could hear was the pounding drumbeat of my heart and Kael’s voice echoing in my head.

“Don’t stop. No matter what you hear, Elara—don’t look back.”

But I had looked back. Just once. And it had nearly gotten me killed.

The forest was alive behind me. Not with wolves—but with something older. Darker. The kind of silence that didn’t just consume sound—it consumed hope. Whatever Kael had unleashed when he bled out that night beneath the mountain… it was hunting now. And it was wearing the face of a man I once trusted.

I stumbled over a gnarled root and caught myself against the rough bark of a pine, smearing blood across its trunk. My hand trembled. Not from fear. From rage.

Cassian had lied.

He’d promised Kael would live if I gave him the rune. The one burn

  • Luna’s Rebellion    Chapter 110: The First Blow

    The sound of metal on stone was rhythmic now—measured, deliberate. The Wardens weren’t running. They were advancing like they had all the time in the world. Which meant they didn’t think we could escape. Seren glanced at me, her jaw set. “We can take them in the tunnel.” “No,” the stranger said, his voice calm but iron-solid. “That’s what they’ll want. Narrow space. No room for your magic to breathe.” “They’ll choke us out,” Seren muttered. I wasn’t listening to them anymore. I was listening to it. The Spire’s heart was still pulsing faintly behind me, but its voice was quieter now, like it had stepped back into the shadows to see what I’d do. The scrape of armor grew louder. I stepped toward the tunnel mouth, my claws threatening to push through my skin, the gold glow along my arms flaring just enough to catch Seren’s attention. “You’re thinking about using it,” she said quietly. “Not thinking,” I said. “Deciding.” The stranger’s pale eyes fixed on me. “If you unleash that

  • Luna’s Rebellion    Chapter 109: The Memory

    The warmth in the stone spread up my arm, a slow, creeping heat that wasn’t painful—just inevitable. The carvings shifted beneath my hand, lines of light bending and twisting until they weren’t shapes anymore. They were windows. And the Spire was showing me. A battlefield stretched beneath a sky ripped in half—one side burning with gold, the other drowned in endless shadow. Celestials in armor like shattered constellations clashed with wolves wreathed in silver fire. The air shimmered with spells so old I didn’t have words for them. And in the center of it all—me. Not this me. Another me. The Wolf Queen. Seris. Her fur was streaked with starlight, her eyes bright as the breach itself. She fought not to win, but to hold the line. Behind her stood a gate of silver chains, pulsing with a heartbeat of its own. Nytherion. The Spire’s voice wasn’t a sound—it was pressure, layered into my thoughts. —Guardian. Keeper. Twice-born. The memory shifted. The battle was over, the ground soa

  • Luna’s Rebellion    Chapter 108: The Hum

    The hum didn’t stop. It wasn’t loud, exactly—more like the sound was coming from inside my chest instead of the air around us. Low, constant, bone-deep. It vibrated through the stone, through my spine, settling behind my ribs like it was trying to sync my heartbeat to its rhythm. Seren felt it too. I knew from the way her hand twitched against her knee, like she was resisting the urge to cover her ears. “What are they doing?” she whispered. The stranger didn’t turn from the entrance. “Calling.” “Calling what?” I asked. His silence was answer enough. The air in the hollow shifted, colder and heavier, like we’d just stepped into the shadow of something far bigger than the Spire itself. My wolf bristled inside me, pressing forward, pacing. She didn’t like the sound. Neither did I. I moved closer to the entrance. The Wardens were still below, unmoving now—just a ring of skeletal shapes in the frost-lit clearing, their silver masks tilted toward the Spire. The hum rose an

  • Luna’s Rebellion    Chapter 107: The Spiral North

    We didn’t so much run north as we were dragged there by necessity. The stranger—whose name he still hadn’t offered—moved like someone who knew every shift in the earth beneath his boots. Seren was behind me, close enough that I could feel her breath against my neck. The night air was thin and cold, each inhale burning my lungs. Behind us, the howls kept coming. Closer. Too close. “Don’t look back,” the stranger called over his shoulder. “They hunt movement. The moment you acknowledge them, you invite them closer.” “Pretty sure they’re already close enough to RSVP,” I muttered, but I kept my eyes forward. The forest here was different—older, darker, the trees bent at unnatural angles as though they’d been forced to grow away from something. Silver moss clung to the bark in long, trailing ribbons that swayed even though the wind had died. “Why north?” Seren demanded, voice tight. “Why not the nearest stronghold? Why not—” “Because the Spire will hide you,” he said, not slowing. “

  • Luna’s Rebellion    Chapter 106: After The Light

    The first thing I noticed was the silence. Not the peaceful kind. The wrong kind. The kind that means either everything is dead… or everything is waiting. I was still kneeling, hands buried in the cold earth where the breach had been. My palms burned, the skin cracked and raw, glowing faintly like embers that refused to die. The ground beneath me was sealed—no silver rift, no whispering pull—but I could feel it, like a heartbeat under stone. It wasn’t gone. Just sleeping. I swayed, my vision still spotted with light. The golden haze clinging to me was dimmer now, and my wolf… my wolf felt quiet. Not gone, but curled up deep inside, conserving strength. “Elara!” The voice was closer than I expected, sharp with panic. Then Seren was there, skidding to her knees beside me. Her blade was gone, her braid a mess, her eyes blazing with that barely contained terror she only ever showed when she thought she was about to lose someone. “Don’t—” I coughed, my throat raw. “Don’t look at me

  • Luna’s Rebellion    Chapter 105: Teeth And Starfire

    The first masked thing reached me before I had time to think. My body reacted before my mind caught up—wolf fast, celestial precise. I caught its wrist mid-swing, claws digging in. Where my hand touched, gold light flared, bright and searing. The creature shrieked, the sound a sick mix of wind howling through broken glass and metal tearing in half. Its mask cracked down the middle before the entire thing dissolved into curling black smoke that vanished into the night. Okay. So apparently, I could obliterate them. “Don’t stop moving!” the stranger barked. His voice cut through the clash of steel and the crackle of fire, deep and commanding. Flames coiled in his palm, snarling like a living thing desperate to devour the entire forest. Another one came from my left. I barely saw the flash of its bone spear before I dropped low, my knees bending in a predator’s crouch. I slashed upward, letting my claws—actual, silver-tipped claws—rip across its chest. The blow left no blood, only dee
