THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn Chapter 17; Death
She was awakened by pain before her eyes. The dull throb swept through her skull like wildfire pounding behind her eyes. Slowly and heavily Selene's eyelids fluttered. When she finally opened her eyes the world swam around her and she could not identify the places on her body that hurt. She gasped. Her arms were bound to a thick wooden pole and painfully twisted behind her. She tugged at the bindings as panic flared in her chest but they held tight and felt rough against her skin.Where is she? Her memories were a haze with shadows and images darting through her head.Then she remembered what happened.The wind. The portal. Elder Vulcan. Ethan. She clenched her heart. Fear gripped her like a vice and she wondered if Ethan was still alive. Twisting and struggling, she attempted to move once more but the ropes only made their way deeper into her flesh. She heard voices.There was the crunch of footsteps on the ground. People started to emerge from the pack ground corners. Man

His beta, Sab questioned cautiously, eyes darting through the foggy woods. “ Are you sure this is the right place?” He held his hand close to his blade. It doesn't feel right. Kieran took a moment to respond. Something darker shone beneath the gleam of frustration in his emerald green eyes. Anxiety. “I was instructed to come here,” he finally said in a firm voice. Sab scowled. “You can't trust Elder Vulcan. Nobody is more aware of that than you are.”Kieran halted his pacing and looked at his beta. He gave me his word. He said he would release my mother if I did my part. That's the only reason I'm here.” Sab did not seem persuaded. “It has been hours of waiting.” “I understand,” Kieran yelled. Tension broke in his voice. Something moved in the shadows and they stiffened, regaining themselves.Both men immediately whirled around their instincts as swords were drawn out. “Easy boys,” a smug-sounding voice said. Like a ghost, Elder Vulcan emerged from the shadows, his robe rust

The night air blew by.It wasn't just the wind it was the death, the grief and the pain. That hung in the air.As silence descended upon the land the moon gazed down like a chilly watchful eye.Ravena lay shattered in a cage that had been forgotten far away from the sound of campfires and pack wolves laughter.The weight of time made the old cottage groan. Like the veins of a dying body, cracks ran along the stone walls. Something once powerful was trapped by the sturdy door made of rusted iron bars. Ravena. once dreaded. Once strong, writhed in pain. Just a shadow of herself now.Thick cold chains were buried in her neck and limbs as her wolf form lay curled on the wet floor. She was breathing weakly in shaky whispers. The ground beneath her was covered in blood which smelled bad and was blackened.She had patches of matted fur that was falling out. Rot had started to appear. The pain never stopped stinging her flesh like fire ants. Next came a fresh wave, a searing burn that tor

A heavy wind blew and the tree branches danced as they swayed to the wind. The tall trees cast long shadows.Daemon stopped in his tracks. As he tried to control his breathing his chest heaved. Dread sank into his bones as he surveyed the deserted clearing, the moist ground feeling soft under his boots. Ravena. Ethan. Luna Selene.He had followed the receding scents left behind retracing his steps a dozen times. They were now weak, dispersed, and overpowered by something else. He trembled as he tried to steady his balance. His nerves were frayed from all he witnessed.He couldn't believe that what started as a rescue mission ended up swallowing them all in grief.Which had led to a huge loss. How will the rogue pack take the news?He tried once again to mind-link for help, but a throbbing headache pierced through him, and he groaned in pain.Gripping his hair as he winced. He fell down but dragged himself up to continue walking.His throat burned with thirst and his bone arched

Their voices were filled with surprise as the name exploded from their mouths like a spell. “Fea!”Ashton's eyes bulged seeing his sister standing right before them.A tidal wave of anger rushed through him. Why can't the damn girl listen to instructions?Fea’s silver eyes glinted with strength and mystery.Her long jet-black hair caught the wind as it cascaded past her waist like an inky waterfall while she leaned boldly on her staff. Despite a lighthearted smile, she felt purposeful energy all around her. “ I had to follow you even though you told me to stay back,” she shrugged. You need me, so come on.”With his eyes hard and his brows furrowed, Ashton strode toward her. “You were meant to remain in the hiding place and keep an eye on the pack!”Lifting her chin, Fea rolled her eyes. “Ashton, you can't give Seer instructions. And the pack is being protected by the warriors. They are capable.”His face turned red and he grabbed his sister's arm. “Leave at once! You'll put yourself

Like an unwanted ghost, the smell of blood clung to the walls.Each second seemed to drag on forever and every breath in the room was labored. Ethan's skin was as pale as ashes from a fire as he lay sprawled on the narrow wooden bed. His chest heaved violently, and more blood, thick, red, and terrifying, spilled from his mouth with each cough. Under the blankets, his limbs shook, and his lips trembled with cold. With her hands pressed together in a prayer, she was no longer able to whisper. Fea sat next to him. Tears that would not stop swelled her silver eyes. Her voice cracked like dry leaves beneath her feet as she choked out. “Ethan. Please don't leave us. Fight back!”Ashton yelled. “Where is that damn healer? We don't have time so why is she taking so long?”Leaning against the wall with his arms folded, Daemon's eyes were fixed on Ethan whose tense shoulders held his attention. Frank appeared to be holding himself together as he stood close to the door with his arms cross

Like tears of silver, the moonlight poured into the tiny cottage. As Fea lay sprawled on the floor, her body trembled, and her eyes glowed an unnatural, dangerous white. As if her soul had fallen out of her body, she breathed shallowly, almost nonexistent. Far from the cottage, her spirit drifted through a moonlit forest, weightless and silent.The leaves had a crystal-like sheen, and the air had a faint, almost forgotten flavor. She was standing on a small dirt path with tall trees that were whispering all around. With a puzzled expression on her face, she whirled in slow circles and muttered. “Where… where am I?”She could hear the deafening silence. Her bare feet crunched softly against fallen leaves and twigs as she approached cautiously then took another step. “Ashton? Daemon?” she yelled her voice resonating feebly. Nothing. Just the hum of the night and the distant rustle of branches. Then she saw something flash by, a haze of wind and shadow. Fea's heart thumped as sh

Fea let out a gasp and jerked as though she had been struck by lightning. Her eyes popped open, crazed and bewildered. In an attempt to control her breathing, she gripped her chest.Daemon held her closely.“Can you hear me, Fea. Fea?” he said, his voice shaking. “Are you doing okay?”She was shivering. “I…. I believe so,” she muttered in a tremulous voice. “That thing you said,” Ashton inquired in a cautious low voice. “She’s alive. What was the meaning?”Fea blinked once more, seemingly reliving the scene in her brain. At her sides, her fingers were shaking. Slowly she answered. “ I wish I knew. However, something odd is happening.” Her eyes were filled with unanswered questions as she turned to Daemon. “Is it possible that Ravena is still alive? The wolf I saw in my vision appeared to be hers. I was unwilling to say it. I figured you all would think I was going crazy.” Unable to conceal the disbelief on his face Ashton scoffed. “That is not possible.”Frank whispered, “ Is Rav

THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn Chapter 50; In A Maze Of Confusion
Light streamed into the room through the window. Inside, Selene shifted on the makeshift bed of thin furs and hardened stone, letting out a groan as her muscles resisted the rigid surface. This was a far cry from the luxurious comfort she had experienced as Luna of the Nightfang Pack. Where she would spend her nights curled up with pillows stuffed with feathers and covered in soft linens. Every morning now brought a new set of stiffness and aches. Gingerly, she rotated her head and stretched her neck, cracking audibly. She experienced a surge of nostalgia for the comfortable luxury she had long taken for granted. The small cave where she and Lira shared a bed served as a sharp reminder of her present situation. Her brow was furrowed as she looked around the tiny room. Chaos was in charge. It appeared as though their few possessions had been scattered by a whirlwind. In a tiny act of rebellion against the chaos of their surroundings, she had carefully arranged yesterday.Now ev
THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn Chapter 49; The Plan
The tense atmosphere that had descended upon the room was abruptly broken by the door’s crash against the wall. Everyone’s attention was drawn to Fea, who was standing in the doorway, panting and heaving from shallow, fast breathing. “Fea?” Daemon called, his brow furrowed in worry. “What’s wrong? You seem anxious.”With her eyes darting between her friends' faces, Fea struggled to find her voice. Her stomach knotted with anxiety. The pressure of her vision made it hard for her to speak the words that threatened to flow from her mouth.How would they respond to what she had witnessed?Would they believe her?Quickly, Daemon rushed to her side before Ashton could leave his seat. He held her gently, searching her eyes for possible answers. “Talk to me, Fea. Are you hurt?”She trembled slightly. “No.”In long strides, Ashton closed the gap between them. “Dearest sister, you need to sit down.”They led her to a chair, and she sat down.“Fea, here. Take a breath.” Daemon hurried over t

“Remember you’re just recovering.” Frustrated, Ethan raked his fingers through his hair. “I’m starting to get angry with Jarred. You saw what he did today?”“Yes.” Frank nodded. “The unrest at the pack earlier today, I was aware of it.” “That low life,” Ethan muttered in a low threatening voice. “We can't just stand by and watch the pack fall apart. The council is on our necks and the public thinks I was involved in Ravenas death. That's impossible.”With his eyes focused on a spot on the floor Ashton appeared to be deep in thought. Frank gave him a small shake. “ Hey, man. Are you alright? You’ve been silent.” Ashton’s eyes darted to Ethan and he palmed his face and let out a long sigh. “We are in deep shit,” he said as softly as he could. “We ought to have been honest with them about Ravena's death, you know. Look where it has landed us.”Ethan stopped pacing and sat near them, his gaze fixed on theirs. “The pack will become hopeless and vulnerable to outside attacks if we reve
THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn Chapter 47; A Vision
Fea blinked. “This is unbelievable,” she said, her voice barely audible over the abrupt quiet of the room.Without a doubt, Ravena was the one in the crystal ball that she could still clearly see. Her facial features, including every line and curve, perfectly complemented each other. A mixture of shock and disbelief tightened her throat as she swallowed hard. As she tried to rush forward, her foot caught on the edge of her cloak. Which she had dropped earlier.She lost her balance and staggered, falling heavily and landing awkwardly on her rear. Her back began to ache sharply and she flinched and let out a little uncontrollable cry. She lay there momentarily dazed and confused.Her breathing was hard and laborious. A surge of anger overtook her and she picked up her cloak. And then flung it on the bed and then stood up.Then she returned her attention to the crystal ball, staring at its smooth, opaque surface. While her heart continued to race in her chest. Filled with confusi
THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn Chapter 46; Ridgewood Council
Voices and arguments filled Ridgewood's vault room beneath the pack house that night. Secret meetings were conducted here out of prying eyes and ears. Around a round wooden table sat the leaders of Ridgewood's six clans. Which together made up the council. Tension was high and there was a noticeable unease in the air. The council had called Daemon and Ethan to the meeting, and in fact, they had demanded their presence. For almost an hour Daemon and Ethan sat and watched the council members quarrel. Accusations, demands, and threats filled the back-and-forth debate. Insults were hauled at each other.In all of this, Ethan and Daemon maintained silence. Observing the gathering under keen eyes.Ethan was getting tired of their pointless arguments and becoming more and more bored. Instead of the serious conversation he had anticipated about the pack's future and Jarred's increasing threat, they were acting like kids. At last, Ridgewood council leader Bethar slammed his hand on the t

Ethan hurried to the balcony of the pack house for safety. He was closely followed by Fea and Daemon. The pack members were still gathered outside chanting while hurling their fists into the air. “Get us Ravena!”“Ravena or nothing!”The foundation of the pack house shook as their chants reverberated through the atmosphere. Ethan was exposed to the sun's harsh rays while standing on the balcony. There was total chaos in the scene. At the entrance to the pack house, the guards were having difficulty rebuffing angry pack members who were attempting to break in. The guards yelled. “ Stand back! Stand back!” in a voice that could hardly be heard over the noise. Ethan's anger reached a boiling point, and he balled his fists. “Enough!” He spoke loudly into the air after taking a deep breath. Immediately, the angry yelling of the crowd started to fade, their voices dying downFea was shocked when the people became calm. The impact of Ethan's voice suddenly commanded attention. As they

As Ethan approached Daemon, his eyes were filled with worry. His tone was urgent and sharp. “ What are you talking about?” he asked. “As we speak there's unrest in the pack,” Daemon replied in a tight tone. “I noticed a group of people making their way to the pack house on the way here. They are requesting explanations for Ravana's whereabouts.”Fea took a step forward, her face solemn. “From what I understood,” she continued in a low voice. “ They're saying you killed her in order to become the Alpha of Ridgewood pack.” With the accusations bearing down on him, Ethan let out a long sigh. He tried to comprehend the chaos by closing his eyes for a while. This was not what he expected. As he opened his eyes he looked at Fea and Daemon. “Who else knows of Ravena's death?” he asked in a whisper. Feeling dread snake up on his spine.“It's just you, Ashton, Fea, Frank, and me,” Daemon said. Suddenly a flash of realization hit him. Daemon snapped his fingers as though he had just found a

Ethan strode with a newfound strength in his step. The carefully planned out appearance of his warrior’s uniform conveyed a sense of readiness and a man who had been freed from the grip of harm. He had a commanding presence and rough lines on his face which were possibly deepened by recent hardship. A few women whose eyes lingered a bit too long showed a glimmer of admiration for him as he made his way through the busy center of the pack. But he was oblivious to all that as his mind was restless and empty, caused by deep sorrows.He should be happy for surviving the poison but Ravena's demise left him in anguish.Children ran past him, giggling and shrieking in delight as they ran to hide in different corners.It brought a familiar memory of his childhood which suddenly made a smile tug at the corners of his lips.He waved casually but warmly at an elderly farmer who was hard at work in his gardenHe was a man named Frederick whose grizzled hands drew life out of the ground itself
THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn Chapter 42; Sad Reality
Aside from the gentle crackle of the fire in the hearth, the room was silent. The room had an odd almost eerie atmosphere as shadows moved along the stone walls. Frank, Ashton, and Fea remained by Ethan's side after the healer had left. Fea was seated closest to him, her hand resting softly on his arm as though she was worried he would become unconscious again. “You should get some sleep,” Fea said in a worried-sounding voice.Ethan gave a resolute shake of his head. There was a fire in his eyes. Now a strong desire to understand even though he still appeared weak and pale. “No,” he said unpleasantly. “Tell me, What happened?”None of them was keen to speak first and they exchanged tentative glances.Finally, the silence was broken by Daemon who moved forward into the firelight. “We tried to rescue Selene,” he said with a regretful tone. “We discovered the location of her detention. But we were attacked.”Ethan just looked at him expressionless for a moment. Then, wincing from the
