Mira sat in the farmhouse kitchen with a cup of tea long gone cold in her hands, still shaken from Selene and Auren's account of the mountain ambush, when every screen in Darklorevie flickered simultaneously, the signal cutting through every broadcast frequency the supernatural world had ever established.She recognized his eyes before she recognized anything else about him, that same gold catching the light the way Auren's did, except where Auren'

THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE A NEW TASK FORCE
CHAPTER 116: A NEW TASK FORCEThe Council chamber felt different than it had during any previous session Mira could remember, tension replaced by something closer to grim resolve now that Malphas's broadcast had stripped away any remaining illusion that this crisis might resolve itself quietly. Corran sat at the head of the assembled table, and for the first time since Auren's arrival, Mira watched him address the gathered councilors without a trace of his earlier skepticism."We need a coordinated response," Corran said. "Not committees. Not endless debate. A task force with actual authority to act.""I agree completely," Mira said, feeling something like relief that the argument she'd expected to fight for was apparently already won by circumstances none of them had wanted. "But authority means nothing without the right people actually holding it.""Which is precisely what we're here to decide," Corran said, gesturing toward the map spread acros
THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE THE MANIFESTO
CHAPTER 115: THE MANIFESTOMira sat in the farmhouse kitchen with a cup of tea long gone cold in her hands, still shaken from Selene and Auren's account of the mountain ambush, when every screen in Darklorevie flickered simultaneously, the signal cutting through every broadcast frequency the supernatural world had ever established.She recognized his eyes before she recognized anything else about him, that same gold catching the light the way Auren's did, except where Auren's carried warmth, this man's carried something colder, something patient in a way that made her stomach turn before he'd spoken a single word."My name is Malphas," he said, and his voice filled the kitchen from a device Elric hadn't even turned on, filled the entire settlement outside based on the sudden hush falling over voices that had been audible through the window moments before. "For those who've heard whispers already, consider this confirmation. For everyone else, consider it a
THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE FAMILIAR ENEMIES
CHAPTER 113: FAMILIAR ENEMIESDANTE’S POV I spend three days combing through whatever evidence remains at the hollowed settlement, and by the time I finally find something concrete, exhaustion has settled into my bones so completely I almost miss its significance entirely."This," I say, spreading fragments of encrypted communication across the table where Isolde, Sera, and Auren have gathered, "was recovered from a burned structure near the settlement's edge. Someone tried to destroy it before leaving, but they weren't thorough enough."Sera leans forward, decades of experience reading exactly this kind of coded correspondence immediately sharpening her attention."I recognize this cipher," she says slowly, and I watch old memory crossing her features, something I haven't seen from her in years. "Dante, this is Corvinus encryption. The same pattern they used decades ago, before we thought we'd fully dismantled their entire network."
THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE FIRST CONTACT
CHAPTER 114: FIRST CONTACTSELENEThe ward site sits at the base of a mountain range I've never visited before, three hours by vehicle and another hour on foot, and I feel the familiar wrongness building in my chest long before we actually reach the coordinates I sensed weeks ago during that first search with Auren."You're quiet," he says, matching my pace easily despite the uneven terrain, decades of guardianship apparently having taught him exactly how to navigate ground like this without effort."I keep thinking about Wren," I admit, watching my footing carefully as we climb higher. "About how close that settlement was to Darklorevie. About how easily it could have been us instead.""It could still be," Auren says gently, though I hear him trying to soften the honesty even as he delivers it. "Which is exactly why we need to reach this ward before Malphas's people find it first."We continue in silence after that, both of us unders
THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE THE BROTHER AUREN DOESN'T SPEAK OF
CHAPTER 111: THE BROTHER AUREN DOESN'T SPEAK OFSELENE'S POV I find him on the roof of the settlement's old records building, the same place he's taken to sitting whenever he needs to think through something particularly heavy, and I settle beside him without waiting for an invitation, decades of watching my mother teach me exactly when someone needs company instead of space."You've been quiet since the meeting," I say, watching the same stars he's apparently been studying for the better part of an hour now. "More than usual, I mean.""I have a lot to think through," he says, and I hear something careful in his voice, the particular tone he uses when he's deciding how much to actually share."About the wards?" I ask. "Or about whoever's recruiting Corvinus remnants with promises of true power?"He's quiet for a long moment, and I watch him work through some internal calculation before finally speaking."His name is Malphas,
THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE CLOSER TO HOME
CHAPTER 112: CLOSER TO HOMEMIRA'S P.O.V The call comes at four in the morning, and I know before I even answer that whatever's happened is going to be worse than anything we've faced since this crisis began, decades of leadership having taught me exactly what that particular urgency in a phone's first ring actually means."It's close," Isolde says, and I hear her trying to keep her voice steady despite obvious panic underneath. "Three hours from Darklorevie. A trading settlement, mostly wolves with a handful of Moonborn families who moved there years ago."I feel my stomach drop, already reaching for clothes with one hand while holding the phone with the other, Elric stirring awake beside me at the sudden movement."How bad?" I ask, though I already suspect the answer."Same as before," Isolde says. "Everyone accounted for, everyone alive, nobody remembering anything at all.""Moonborn families," I repeat, feeling dread bui

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 6: ASHES AND SECRETS We had to keep moving because this place we're staying isn't safe anymore. I pressed harder against Elric's side, trying to ignore how much of his weight I was carrying. Blood soaked through his shirt where that packleader had torn his fang into him. The wound looked
THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE 5_BLOOD IN THE MOONLIGHT
CHAPTER 5 – BLOOD IN THE MOONLIGHT The Bloodfang charged in full motion against the trio. The forest erupted in chaos. Elric unsheathed his sword. Snarls broke through the air. The Bloodfang warriors charged like shadows unleashed. Elara threw her cloak aside, her hands glowing with wind magi
