That morning, the city was still wrapped in a thin mist and the bustling sounds of a market coming to life. I walked along the sidewalk, head down, doing my best not to attract attention. The borrowed jacket and cap still clung to my body, hiding most of my face. Every step felt heavy, as if the weight of the past and the fear of the future pressed on my shoulders. Still, I knew I had to keep moving. The hunters were surely still searching, and Luna… I had no idea what had happened to her after I left.
I stopped in front of the city market. Rows of stalls and vendors lined up neatly, full of color and noise. The aroma of fresh vegetables, warm bread, and spices mixed with the scent of passing bodies. I held my breath, trying to calm my frantic heartbeat. I needed a phone. I had to contact someone who could help me—and the only name that came to mind was Dr. Hayes.
I walked slowly between the stal

CHAPTER 29 – THE CALL OF BLOOD AND SHADOWSI woke before dawn, my body still heavy even though I’d slept soundly that night. The familiar scent of herbs and antiseptic from Dr. Sarah’s animal clinic hung in the air, but this morning, something felt different—a kind of restlessness clung to my skin, making it hard to breathe freely. I sat on the edge of the small bed in the back room of the clinic, staring at the wing symbol on my wrist. Its silvery glow was almost gone, but I knew the power hadn’t truly faded. It was only waiting, just like me.I’d been hiding here for almost a week, living a simple routine: caring for animals, cleaning cages, learning from Dr. Sarah about herbal concoctions that could mask my aura. Every morning, I drank the bitter potion she gave me, hoping the hunters would lose my trail. But last night, I had a strange dream—the full moon hung low in the sky, and the sound of wolves howling

CHAPTER 28 – BETWEEN RESTLESSNESS AND HOPEMornings at the animal clinic always began with a chorus of noise. Barking dogs, purring cats, and the occasional squawk from a chatty parrot formed the backdrop to my new routine. I had been living and working under Dr. Sarah’s guidance for almost a week. Every day, I learned something new—from cleaning cages, giving vitamin shots, to calming frightened kittens. Slowly, I was getting used to this simple, loving life.Dr. Sarah was unlike anyone I had ever met. She always smiled, spoke gently, and never tired of sharing her knowledge. There was something in the way she treated animals—and people—that made me feel accepted, even without words. I knew she wasn’t an ordinary human. There was a faint, warm magical aura around her. Maybe that’s why I could feel safe here, at least for now.Every morning, before the clinic opened, Dr. Sarah always prepared herbal tea

CHAPTER 27 – LOST TRAILThat morning, a thin mist still blanketed the mountain forest as Kael slowly opened his eyes. The world around him was blurry, the sounds of birds and the whisper of wind mixing with the throbbing pain at his temples. The scent of metal and lingering ritual incense still hung in the air, but there was something else—a sharp, sweet smell clinging to his senses, remnants of the hunters’ tranquilizer poison.Kael tried to sit up, his body heavy and his muscles stiff. He swept his gaze around: the stone altar at the center of the temple was in disarray, the ritual crystal cracked, and the protective circle had vanished. On the floor, Marcus and Elena lay not far from him, their breathing heavy but slowly evening out. But what made Kael’s chest tighten most was the fact that Aria was not there. Nor was Luna.Guilt hit Kael instantly. He

CHAPTER 25 – WINGS REIGNITEDI stared at the silver knife in Luna’s hand, my breath coming in short gasps. Around me, the scent of metal and dark incense pressed against my chest. The hunters outside the room began shouting, their boots pounding on the wooden floor, adding to the panic in my heart. I knew that if this ritual succeeded, I would lose everything—Kael, Elena, Marcus, even Luna herself. But if I fought back, I could lose my life.Luna bowed her head, her tears falling onto my bound hands. “Forgive me, Aria. I have no other choice.”I held my breath, trying to calm my racing heart. That’s when something strange happened. In the midst of despair and fear, I felt a warm vibration on my wrist—right above the wing symbol that had always marked my Moon Witch power. A faint silver light began to seep out, slowly growing brighter, until it finally blazed like an ember in the darkness.Luna fro

CHAPTER 24 – IN LUNA’S SNAREThe mountain wind that night felt sharper than ever, piercing skin and bone. Inside the ancient temple, Kael and I stood face to face within a circle of light cast by the altar crystal. Our hands were clasped, blood slowly dripping from the cuts on our palms, staining the stone surface and merging in the silver and gold glow. Elena and Marcus stood on the outer edge of the circle, keeping vigilant watch, while ancient chants flowed softly from my lips and Kael’s.I could feel the power of the Moon Witch and the Alpha beginning to merge—a pull of energy so strong it was almost painful, as if my whole body was about to split apart. In the swirling light, I glimpsed shadows of the past and the future, possibilities dancing at the edge of consciousness. There was hope, there was destruction, and between them, the ever-present face of Luna.Kael looked at me, his eyes filled with conviction. &ldquo
