POWERS OF THE MOON BEARERย ย ย Chapter 102: Whispers of the Past
A laugh, sinister and chilling, echoed the clearing. Malachai stepped into the moonlight, his silver eyes glistening with evil.โDid you really think I wouldnโt find you?โ he said, his tone mockingly sweet.The woman stepped in front of Luna, her hands raised as if to say she meant to protect the girl. โYou canโt have her, Malachai.โMalachaiโs smile widened. โOh, but I already do.โHe snapped his fingers, and the shadows formed into a shapeโa bound and gagged villager writhing against the dark tendrils.Lunaโs heart sank. โNoโฆโโChoose, Luna,โ Malachai said, pouring on the cruelty. โEither come with me willingly, or watch them die.โThe pack tensed to spring, but the woman raised a hand. โWait,โ she said, her voice steady even though the tension crackled. โThereโs more at stake here than you realize.โComing forward Luna spoke, her voice trembling. โWhy are you doing this ? What do you want from me ? โMalachai's expression turned icy. "Your power. Your light. Without it, the moon ca

Nymera's shape began to fade, her voice more distant. โFollow the light, Luna. The moon will guide you.โWith her disappearance, the cracks closed themselves letting the glade in on its silence once again.Luna looked at Alec and Jax, her features sharpening with resolve. "We're going to find Selene. Now."Jax nodded but reluctantly. โFine, but if this turns out to be another wild goose chase, donโt blame me.โAlec placed a comforting hand on Luna's shoulder. "We'll get her back, no matter what."As they left the clearing, faint screams of Seleneโs could be heard causing their skin to crawl even more when they remembered it."Luna," Alec said, his throat tight with worry. "We gotta get out fast."The atmosphere in the woods was oppressive, even as Luna, Alec, and Jax pressed through it hurriedly and tensely. The air was literally denser with each passing moment as if some invisible force were pressing them against the ground.โI donโt like this,โ Jax muttered, insensibly his hand tou

Luna stirred, feeling her head hitting and vision blurred. The air was thick with the smell of an explosion, magic still permeating it. She raised herself up causing a cough to shake her, then looked around the clearing.Selene remained on the altar, her body encircled by a glimmering blue aura. Jax and Alec lay a little distance away, moaning softly as they regained consciousness. Malachai stood at the clearing's perimeter, his silver eyes burning with rage while he caught his breath.โLuna!โ Alec shouted, pulling himself to his feet and running toward her. โAre you all right?โ"I'm fine," Luna said, her voice trembling however. "What about Selene?"Jax stumbled over, wincing. โSheโs glowing. That canโt be normal.โโNo,โ Malachaiโs voice sliced through the tension, sharp and venomous. โItโs not normal. Itโs perfect.โLuna shot him a glare, her fear transforming into anger. "You did this, didn't you? Youโre trying to make her feel bad!"Malachai laughed softly but darkly, his face twi

Luna's vision gradually returnedโan interplay of silvery light, whiffs of cool air caressing her skin and the faint harmony of power all over her. She blinked and understood she was no more in the clearing.The expanse was huge and bright where walls were made of glittering crystals that it felt like they were going to pulsate with the rhythm of a heartbeat. Above her a huge moon hung there as if suspended, casting its ethereal glow.โWhereโฆ where am I?โ Luna murmured.A soft groan escaped that drew her attention. A few feet away lay Selene, her form also curled in a silver aura. Luna scrambled beside her and started shaking her gently.โSelene, wake up!โHer eyes opened slowly, still flashing brightly with that unearthly silver. She got up, glancing around in bewilderment. โWhat place is this?"โI donโt know,โ Luna admitted, helping her up. โBut I think itโs connected to the relicโand the moon.โโThe Lunar Chamber.โBoth women turned at the voice. There was a form, cloaked in shadow

Alec paused, as if he were selecting his words very carefully. "Luna, you and Iโฆ thereโs a connection. Something deeper than I can put into words. It's the reason I've always felt such a strong urge to protect you."Lunaโs breath hitched. โA bond? Are you saying weโreโโโSoulmates,โ Alec confirmed, his voice steady.Selene stared at him, shocked. "And you're just now telling her this? Alec, what the hell?""That's not so easy," Alec said, defensively. "I didn't see it that way until now. The moon showed me in the Lunar Chamber."Lunaโs head spun with the confusion of a million questions wanting to pour forth from her. Another growl snapped her back to the present, however."We need to move," Alec said, urgently. "Malachai won't stop until he has Selene, and his Pack is crawling all over the forest."Seleneโs aura flared again, but this time it was weaker than before. โIf he wants me, let him come fight me himself.โ"Don't be reckless!" Alec snapped, frustration boiling over. "You are

Alec growled and stepped closer. โDonโt listen to him, Luna. Heโs just trying to mess with your head.โ"Am I?" Malachai's smile widened. "Or am I finally revealing a truth that even the moon has hidden away?"As they had no time to answer, the ground under their feet began to tremble. The deep bass note vibrated in the air and Luna felt her chest burning awfully at the place where the relicโs energy was still there.โWhatโs happening?โ she gasped, clutching her chest.Malachai's eyes sparkled with victory. "The awakening, Luna. The power of the relic has already begun to stir within you. Soon, however, you'll come to realize that light cannot exist without darkness; even your eyes will be blinded by the truth."The hum got louder and an opening in the ground, glowing with a light from another world, appeared between them. Lunaโs knees buckled as the power inside her surged, threatening to devour her.โLuna!โ Alec shouted, catching her before she fell.Selene reached for her too, a pan

Alec pulled Luna's hand, his voice calm yet demanding. "We're leaving. Right now."The woman stepped back into the shadows, her parting words doing so. "It is in your hands, Luna, to keep the balance. Do not allow the darkness to wear you out in this way".As they ran to the open space of their territory, Lunaโs mind was filled with questions, doubts and fears. But there was one thing that was clear: the match wasn't over.And the second time they encountered Malachai, running would be out of the question.The group barely returned to the safety of their territory when the forest erupted with sinister howls. Alec paced in the clearing by the fire pit, his nervous energy had him moving much more than normal. His wolf energy crackled in the air, right then as he was very frustrated.โWe canโt keep running,โ Alec growled, his golden eyes flashing. โThe Pack of Malachi is closing in and every moment we waste, weโre losing the ground on.โSelene crossed her arms and leaned against a tree,

The silence was deafening, cracked only by the popping sounds from the flames. While Pack members wore varied expressions, Luna stood in the center, her gaze flicking between them.โIโm going,โ she said firmly, her voice the only sound in a silent afternoon.โNo, you are not,โ Alec said, growling, his golden eyes fixed on hers. โWe already talked about this. Itโs a trap, Luna.โLuna hugged her arms across herself, looking back at him with equal intensity. "Of course it's a trap," she said, "but if we do nothing, Malachai wipes everything out. He'll come to open the gateway Alec."Jax leant against a tree, arms folded, neither happy nor sad. โSheโs right. We cannot afford to just idle, waiting for him to tell us what he wants done next.โAlec turned toward him, his voice rising. "And you think the solution is to send her straight into his hands?"Jax smirked, but it did not have any humor in it. "I did not say that. But we lack the luxury of time, don't we?"Selene stepped forward, he

POWERS OF THE MOON BEARERย ย ย The Balance is Restored
The final battle against the darkness was fierce, but the united power of Luna and her allies was inevitable. For each relic they activated, the light of the moon shone brighter until it filled the land void of darkness.When the moon reached its climax, Luna stood in the center of the nexus, the relics glowing around her. On her sides stood Alec, Kade, Jax and Selene with their hands in-between hers.Luna said, her voice steady, โThis is it. The moonโs power is ours to wield. We can, together, set things aright.โ"And we will," Alec said, keeping his gaze steady. "It's because we believe in you."Jax squeezed her hand, passionate in his voice. "You are the heart of this, Luma".Taking a deep breath, Luna gathered the moon's power and her heart was filled with love and determination. Light engulfed them, washing away the last remnants of darkness.As light faded, the land was no longer the same. The forest was oppressive and lively, the air full of the scent of blooming flowers.

Jax snarled as he stepped in front of Luna, "Try it, and you'll regret it."Before Malachai could answer, a brilliant light erupted from the nexus, causing everyone to shield their eyes. When the light receded, a figure stood between Alpha Prime and Lunaโa translucent, ethereal apparition that caught Luna's breath.โMom?โ Luna whispered, her voice trembling.The image of her mother turned, the softness in her expression mingling with resolve. "Luna, my precious girl. You have the power to do what I never could. Trust yourself, though."โMom, I donโt understand,โ Luna said, tears streaming down her face. โI do know you are here for a reason. Why is this happening?โLuna's mother stepped closer, as if her spirit were trying to whisper comfort. A spectral hand brushed Luna's cheek. "This is your destiny, Luna. The moon chose you not to bear its burden but to guide it. You can rewrite its will if you believe in yourself."Malachai scoffed. "Touching. But what good is faith when the blood

Malachai's expression darkened, and the smile faded from his lips. "Be careful, Amara. You've made plenty of mistakes yourself. Want me to remind you of them? Start with bringing Luna here."Lunaโs eyes jumped back and forth between them, her voice carrying the questions. โWhat does he mean, Amara?โAmara hesitated and in that moment, the laughter of Malachai echoed again, sharp and biting. "Oh, she didn't tell you? The relic, the visions, even your awakening - it was all her doing. You didn't find this path by chance Luna. You were chosen for it."โAmara?โ Lunaโs voice shook. Betrayal sliced through her like a knife."It's not what he's making it sound like," Amara said quickly, her tone desperate. "Iโฆyes I guided you here but only because you're the only one who can stop this."โYou used me!โ Luna shouted, stepping back. โYou knew I was a pawn in this, and you said nothing?โBefore Amara could respond, Malachai took another step closer, his voice dripping with venom. "But now, you s

The group hurried on, the anxiety taut as a string preparing to clash with the coming storm. The trees flanking them rustled eerily in the wind, a far-off sound of growling carried in the breeze.Alec pressed the blade tighter, his voice low but sharp. "We have to move. Now."Luna glanced up, the light of the moon pouring down on their path. โHow far to the nexus?โAmara pointed east. Her voice was sharp. โLess than a mile, but itโs through thick brush, and Malachai will have traps laid out.โJax smiled as he drew his twin daggers from their sheathes. โTraps are him. Getting past them is on us.โSelene looked at him witheringly. โThatโs easy to say when you donโt have to walk in there.โJax winked. โThatโs why Iโm charming. To keep morale up.โโCan we focus please?โ Alec growled, clearly losing his patience. โLuna, you stay close to me. If anything comes at youโโ"I can take care of myself," she interrupted, her tone authoritative. "I'm not helpless, Alec."He sighed then ran his hand

The woman hesitated and gazed at the moonlit sky, her doubt showing for the first time in her eyes. It was the first time uncertainty had shown in her eyes. โBecause of the relic... itโs not just a source of power. Itโs the key.โJax frowned. โA key to what?โโTo the Moon Gate,โ she said quietly.Lunaโs breath hitched. โThe Moon Gate? Thatโs just a legend.โThe woman shook her head. "No, it's real. And if Malachai opens it, he will unleash a power that will consume this world and everything in it."The voice of Selene was laced with skepticism. "How do you know all of this?"The woman's eyes hardened. "Because I saw it before. I was there when the last gatekeeper fell. I watched Malachai betray his blood to gain the relic."Lunaโs heart clenched. โHis own blood?โThe woman nodded her head. "Malachai didn't only kill your parents, Luna. He killed his brother- your father."The news came like a thunderclap. Alec stood frozen, with his fists clenched at his sides. Jaxโs mouth fell open,

She looked up at Luna and said in a voice that was quiet yet steady, โItโs not a matter of liking it Jax. It is the matter of doing what needs to be doneโ.Alec paced for a while and then turned to her, his face more than angry but also desperate. "Necessary? Luna, losing your connection to the moonโyour powerโit's not just a solution; it's a death sentence for who you are."Selene crossed her arms and leaned against a tree. "She's not wrong, Alec. Without the moon's power, you won't just lose your strength, Luna. You'll lose your identity as a wolf."Luna shook her fists, attempting to steady her shaking hands. โI know what it means. Iโve thought about it ever since... ever since the relic bonded with me. If this is the price to stop Malachai, then itโs worth it.โโWorth it?โ Alec echoed, his voice rising. โDo you hear yourself? Youโre speaking like youโre expendable.โJaxโs tone was sharp. โWe all are scars when Malachai stops. Or do you think weโll come out of this no one SCAR?โโT
