CHAPTER 135: TAKEN

The crash echoed through the abandoned warehouse like thunder, shattering the heavy silence before I even had time to raise my hands.

The corrugated steel side door didn't just open—it blew inward, tearing off its rusted hinges and clattering violently against the concrete floor. A wall of freezing night air rushed into the room, carrying the thick, metallic stench of ozone and wet ash. Before the dust could settle, dark, blurred shapes poured through the breach, moving with

  • THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE   WHAT WAITS BENEATH

    CHAPTER 165: WHAT WAITS BENEATHThe quiet that followed the stabilization of the altar didn't bring relief; it brought a heavy, suffocating pressure that made the air feel twice as thick as it had during the battle.I stood in the center of the stone platform with Elric’s arm locked firmly around my waist, my boots planted on the glowing silver runes that Auren and I had carved into the granite.Below us, the courtyard was strewn with broken barricades and fallen soldiers, but nobody was celebrating. Alpha Theron stood near the stone steps with his broadsword lowered, his gray wolf eyes fixed on the center of the canyon floor, where the snow was melting at an unnatural, alarming speed.The ground beneath our feet didn't just vibrate; it groaned with a low, sub-audible frequency that made my stomach turn and my teeth ache."Auren, what is that?" I asked, my voice shaking as I reached up to grip Elric’s forearm, feeling the instant, hard tension in his muscles. "We sealed the threshold.

  • THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE   OPENING THE BRIDGE

    CHAPTER 164: OPENING THE BRIDGEThe mountain top was completely still, the howling wind dropping to a faint whisper as the blinding glow of the Twin Light slowly settled into the stone floor of the altar.I sat propped up against Elric's chest, taking slow, shallow breaths while my hands rested flat on the cold granite.Down on the landing below, Malphas sat bound in silver suppressors, flanked by Shadowfang guards, while Auren stood near the stairs with his sword drawn.The immediate threat of the vanguard was gone, and the battle in the canyon had ended, but the most dangerous part of the morning was just beginning.Auren turned back toward us, his face drawn and pale as he pointed his curved blade toward the central circle of the altar, where the five silver core crystals were still humming with a high, resonant vibration."The physical rift is closed, Mira," Auren called out, his voice sharp and steady in the quiet morning air. "Malphas's vanguard is broken, and the dark thread on

  • THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE   BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER

    CHAPTER 163: BROTHER AGAINST BROTHERThe blinding ring of the Twin Light above the altar didn't bring silence to the northern pass; it shattered the air into a roaring, high-frequency hum that vibrated straight through the stone floor beneath my boots.I fell forward onto my hands and knees, my lungs gasping for the thin, freezing mountain air while blood dripped from my nose onto the frost-covered altar. My body was completely spent, every nerve ending in my arms burning with a dull, throb-like numbness from channeling the combined frequencies, but the suffocating pressure of the Hollow was gone.Over my shoulder, the dark violet thread that had coiled around my Moonbrand mark for days was no longer humming with corrupted dark magic—it sat silent, pale, and dead against my skin, neutralized by the solar fire."Mira! Stay down!" Auren shouted over the wind, his voice hoarse as he stepped in front of me, holding his curved Solarii blade low and steady.Down in the snow-covered courtyar

  • THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE   EVERY LINE HOLDS

    CHAPTER 162: EVERY LINE HOLDSDANTEThe high western ridge smelled of burning gunpowder and scorched pine needles, the freezing mountain wind whipping snow directly into my eyes as I reloaded my tactical rifle.Below me on the narrow stone trail, four Corvinus mercenaries in heavy iron armor were scrambling up the rocks, trying to flank the altar platform where Mira was standing.I leaned over the boulder, picked my target, and squeezed the trigger twice. The sharp crack of my rifle echoed off the granite cliffs, the first mercenary collapsing backward into the snowbank, but the remaining three didn't even flinch—they just kept climbing, their faces pale and their eyes glowing with that sick, corrupted purple light."They aren't stopping!" a Silvanus scout shouted from behind a nearby rock, his hands shaking as he jammed a fresh magazine into his suppressor. "Dante, we're running out of ammunition on the upper ledge!""Hold the choke point!" I yelled back over the deafening roar of th

  • THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE   THE SIEGE BEGINS

    CHAPTER 161: THE SIEGE BEGINSThe sky above the northern ridge turned a pale, sickly gray as dawn broke, but there was no warmth in the morning light.I stood at the top of the snow-covered slope just outside the stone basin, my hand gripping the cold iron railing of the upper observation post while the wind whipped loose strands of dark hair across my face.Beside me, Elric stood motionless, his heavy tactical coat pulled tight against the freezing air, his broadsword unlinked and resting point-down in the packed ice beside his boot. To my left, Auren and three Solarii scholars were arranging five silver core crystals around the perimeter of the ancient stone altar, their hands moving with quiet, practiced speed as they prepped the threshold for the Twin Light.My shoulder throbbed with a hard, stinging pulse. Underneath my layers of wool and leather, the dark violet thread coiled tightly around my Moonbrand mark was humming so loudly it made my teeth ache.Malphas was close—closer t

  • THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE   THE EVE

    CHAPTER 160: THE EVEThe wind coming off the northern ridge was bitterly cold, carrying snow dust that stung my face every time I stepped out from beneath the canvas awning.We had set up our forward camp in a shallow stone basin two hundred yards below the ancient altar site. All around the basin, low canvas tents and makeshift fires dotted the snow as dozens of fighters prepared for the morning push.Solarii scholars in gray cloaks sat shoulder-to-shoulder with Silvanus scouts and Shadowfang wolves, sharing rations, cleaning weapons, and running final diagnostic checks on their suppressors in a quiet, disciplined silence.I stood near the edge of the camp with a thick wool blanket wrapped around my shoulders, watching small plumes of smoke rise into the dark night sky.My body was still tired, and my knees felt a little weak whenever I stood in one place for too long, but the cold, heavy vibration on my shoulder had settled into a steady, predictable rhythm.The dark violet thread w

    CHAPTER 4 – “WE WERE HOPING YOU'D SAY THAT.” They led me through the woods at dawn. I walked between Elric and Elara, silent, my pulse beating like a drum. My thoughts were heavy with what I’d read in that hidden book: Mira of the Lost Line. The girl who could either save or destroy. Was that

    CHAPTER 3 – “WE NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT A DESTROYER.” The Wasted Vale stretched for miles—silent, decaying, endless. I walked for two days without food, my body trembling, my thoughts looping the betrayal like a curse. I was Framed, Casted out and Forgotten. Only Nelly’s words kept me goi

    CHAPTER 2 – THE MARK OF A MURDERER & EXILE The moon hung low the next night, blood-tinged and eerie, as if the heavens already knew what was coming. I stood before the stone hearth of the Council Hall, wrapped in a borrowed cloak, the Luna mark still burning against my skin. I hadn’t slept. T

    CHAPTER 1;THE MOONBRAND LUNA “You were never meant to lead.” I had spent twenty-six years trying not to be a burden. Keeping my head down, doing what I was told, avoiding the kind of attention that led to consequences. In our pack, girls like me didn’t get seen—we served, we obeyed, we endured.
