The first claw tore through the vault door like it was paper. The sound echoed through the chamber—a shriek of metal, the wail of something ancient and hungry.

Kael shoved me behind him, sword raised. His muscles were taut, his stance wide. Every inch of him was the Alpha, ready to fall before me if it meant I had another second to breathe.

“Stay back,” he growled.

But I stepped forward, past him.

“No. We end this together.”

The beasts forced their way in, shadows curling off their twisted forms, their eyes burning like coals in the dark. They filled the entrance, jaws open, tongues tasting the air, tasting us.

Ilara lifted her hands, flame gathering at her fingertips.

“Say the word, Elara,” she said, voice shaking but sure.

“I’ll burn this whole place if it means they don’t take you.”

But the blade in my hand pulsed, like it knew the moment had come.

To seal the rift, blood must be given. Yours… or his.

“Kael—”

He turned, eyes locked on mine, so much love and

    Swords clashed like thunder in the shattered city of glass. I spun, ducked, rolled—barely dodging a swipe from a version of myself cloaked in midnight and shadow. Her hair was silver fire, her eyes cold as frost. Around me, dozens of Elaras fought like gods. One summoned storms with a flick of her fingers. Another controlled vines laced with silver thorns. One walked through the battlefield barefoot and left a trail of burning stars. And every single one of them wanted me gone. Kael fought at my side, wild and furious. He cut through a Luna cloaked in flame only for her to reform from the ash, snarling. “Elara, these aren’t visions!” he shouted. “They’re real!” “No,” I breathed, deflecting a blow from the Elara who wore Necros’s black crown. “They’re possibilities. And they want me to fail.” A voice echoed through the broken sky: “Only one Luna may remain.” One of the mirror Elaras lunged. I caught her blade on mine—but the moment I touched her, memories flooded my mind.

    We stood on the cliff’s edge, the rip in the sky bleeding gold and shadow across the mountainside. Necros had crossed the barrier between realms—and behind him, an army moved with mechanical precision. Creatures made of starlight twisted into nightmare shapes. Wolves that walked on air. Eyes with no faces. Silence that screamed. And still… the Mirrorlands called. “The veil’s been breached,” Solen said grimly. “He’s no longer bound by this world’s laws.” Kael held my hand tighter. “What does he want there?” I looked to the east, where the horizon shimmered like water. “Not what,” I murmured. “Who.” We left at dawn. Arayen carried Solen and Lyra skyward to warn the other courts. Kael and I journeyed alone, on foot, through the jagged wastelands that bordered the Mirrorlands. As we walked, the world around us began to… bend. The air tasted like memories. Time curled around us, folding in on itself. At the threshold of the realm, an archway formed—carved from silver bones, dri

  • Luna’s Rebellion    Chapter 46: Warbound

    The cavern trembled under the weight of destiny. Shadows writhed across the entrance like snakes made of smoke and hunger. Their source—Necros—was still cloaked in Damon’s form, but that body was cracking. Too fragile to contain the god rotting inside it. He stood just beyond the archway of the Sanctum, armies of twisted, eyeless wolves at his heels. And yet—I wasn’t afraid. Not with Kael at my side. Not with the Blade of Veyra pulsing in my grip. And not with Arayen, the First Beast, unfurling its massive wings of burning stardust behind me. Necros stepped into the light, the stone floor blackening beneath his bare feet. “You found it,” he said. “The Beast. The blade. The crown.” “Not found,” I said, voice steady. “Claimed.” Kael lifted his sword. “If you want her, you’ll have to get through all of us.” Necros tilted his head. “That was always the plan.” He raised a single hand. And the wolves charged. They didn’t bark. They didn’t growl. They screamed—high, human-pitc

    The howl rolled through the mountain like thunder laced with teeth. It didn’t sound like a wolf. It sounded like the end of everything. I staggered back, the blade in my hand pulsing like it had a heartbeat of its own. Silver light ran up my arms, through my veins, into my skull. Kael caught me before I hit the stone. “Elara! What is it? What’s happening?” “I—” My voice was hoarse, the words ripped from my throat. “I think… I think it’s calling me.” Solen had gone deathly pale. “That shouldn’t be possible. The First Beast hasn’t stirred since the Age of Silence.” “Well,” Lyra said dryly, “it just howled at us. I’d say it’s fully awake.” We all turned as a massive crack split the far wall of the Sanctum. Behind it—ancient stairs, descending into a pit that bled silver mist. The air around us grew heavy, each breath thick with old magic and buried rage. Solen backed away. “We shouldn’t go down there.” Kael stepped forward. “We don’t have a choice, do we?” I met Solen’s eyes

  • Luna’s Rebellion    Chapter 44: The One Who Was

    The room went silent. No breathing. No movement. Just the gaping maw of the vault and the eerie glow of moonlight spilling across the golden sarcophagus. My face stared back at me. Not similar. Not “could be related.” It was me. Perfectly etched. Eyes closed. Lips pressed together. Peaceful… and deeply, hauntingly wrong. Kael stepped protectively in front of me. “Elara. Don’t—” But I was already walking toward it, pulse thundering like war drums in my ears. “I need to know,” I whispered. Lyra lit her magic, the flames casting shadows against the walls. “This is impossible.” “Not here,” Solen said. “In the Sanctum, everything impossible waits for the brave.” I placed my hand on the lid. And the world tilted. Images slammed into my head—memories that weren’t mine, lives I had never lived… but still remembered. A temple burning. A voice crying out across the void. A woman screaming into the stars—my scream—splitting the sky open. And a child wrenched from her arms. I gasp

    The shadows moved like smoke behind Damon—twisting, pulsing, alive. His form shimmered, no longer solid flesh but something caught between man and monster. The ancient force inside him—Necros—was awakening. Kael raised his blade, but even he hesitated. Solen stepped forward. “That body is failing. He’s a cracked vessel. But until it breaks completely, Necros will wear his face.” “Then we break it,” I said, jaw clenched. “Before he breaks the world.” The ground trembled as Necros raised his hand. Darkness spilled across the chamber, swallowing torches and magic alike. I grabbed Kael’s hand. “We need to get out—now.” Solen closed his eyes. “Follow me.” He didn’t run—he commanded the stone. The walls shifted at his call, forming a narrow path to a hidden passage behind the vault. Ilara threw up fire to slow Necros, then followed. Kael covered our retreat, eyes locked with Damon’s glowing ones until the last second. Then the stone closed between us. We emerged into the freezing
