The Chase Begins

The forest felt colder than Lyra remembered.

Moonlight filtered through the twisted branches, casting sharp shadows on the ground like claws. The trees loomed tall and menacing, their bare limbs stretching skyward. Her breath misted in the icy air as she pressed on, the weight of rejection pressing down upon her heart like a heavy iron shackle.

Each step was agonizing. Her feet throbbed and bled, her body trembled with fatigue. The pain of the severed mate bond persisted—it pulsed beneath her skin like poison, clouding her thoughts and unraveling her determination to fight.

Yet she had to keep going.

She had to survive.

A sound echoed behind her.

Snap.

Her breath caught.

She was not alone.

She turned, scanning the shadows, her heart racing. The wind shifted, bringing the sharp scent of wolf musk and blood. Her wolf stirred within, growling softly and alerting her that danger was approaching.

They were hunting her.

She bolted away.

Branches whipped at her face as she f

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 137

    The storm within Luna gradually calmed, like waves receding after a fierce confrontation. Her breath became steady, yet the silver glow in her eyes remained — now softer, pulsing gently in sync with the Heartstone embedded beneath her skin. Rowan crouched beside her, still holding her wrist, his expression tense with an anxiety he struggled to conceal.“Luna… can you hear me?” he murmured, his thumb lightly caressing her knuckles.She nodded, though even that slight movement felt like wading through water. “I’m here. Just… not completely.”Kai sighed in relief from the entrance. “You frightened us. Both of us. The whole temple seemed to breathe along with you.”Luna swallowed hard. “I sensed everything. The temple, the echoes, the ties binding every wolf spirit ever tied to this place… it was as if they surged through me all at once.”Rowan’s jaw clenched. “You shouldn't carry that burden alone.”She gazed at him — truly gazed — and something within her softened. The fear, the urgency

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 136

    When the Moon QuakesAs soon as Rowan reentered the clearing, the atmosphere shifted—sharp and electric, vibrating with a tension Luna sensed before she could see him. His energy throbbed intensely, not with rage… but with something deeper, heavier, something that made her skin prickle. Behind him, the trees seemed to shrink back, branches bending as if bowing to the tempest he bore.Kai tensed beside her.“Something’s not right,” he whispered.Rowan approached without a word, but Luna could read it clearly in his eyes—the conflict, the dread he was struggling to suppress. She stepped closer to him. “Rowan… what happened?”His jaw clenched. He flicked his gaze between Luna and Kai, and for a moment, it seemed he might completely shut down. But then Rowan exhaled unsteadily and spoke.“The Council intercepted another message,” he revealed. “It wasn’t meant for them. It was meant for him.”Luna’s heartbeat faltered. “You mean—”“Yes,” Rowan interrupted. “The Shadow King.”Kai’s hand mov

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 135

    Shadows Beneath the Council FlameThe Council Hall blazed with an azure-white flame, the holy fire that had persisted for ages. Yet tonight, it flickered more vigorously than usual, as if it could sense the anxiety thickening the atmosphere. Rowan found himself at the core of the circular room, hands clenched tightly behind his back. His jaw was taut, and his shoulders were rigid. He was the Alpha, yet the council had kept him waiting—once more.Luna shifted a bit beside him. Her presence was reassuring, but Rowan could feel the anxiety she attempted to conceal. Each rise and fall of her breath resonated through their bond. On her other side, Kai stood, ever protective, although even he appeared annoyed at the council’s delay.At last, Elder Merek strode in, his robes trailing against the stone floor.“Alpha Rowan,” the elder began, his voice thick with age and authority, “you request a second emergency meeting within three nights. This is not how the council conducts its affairs.”Ro

    The Burden of an Ascending MoonThe atmosphere surrounding Luna felt oppressive—thick enough to suffocate—as the final remnants of the Heartstone’s pulse faded into stillness. She found herself standing at the heart of the ancient chamber, her breath uneven, her body quaking as if every bone within her pulsed with a peculiar, glowing ache. Sweat trickled down her brow, and her hands trembled violently, as if attempting to restrain a force far beyond their capacity.Rowan was immediately by her side. “Luna—focus on me.” His voice was firm yet strained, concealing the anxiety that seeped through the fissures of his composure. He gently cradled her face, his thumb grazing the shudder at her jaw. “You’re on fire.”Kai hovered just behind him, concern etched on his features. “This isn’t usual,” he murmured. “Her aura keeps fluctuating—first silver, then dark, and now… something else.”Luna swallowed hard as another surge crashed over her. It wasn’t exactly pain—more like pressure, buil

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 133

    The Connection That IgnitesThe world seemed to shift the instant Luna placed her hand on the carved symbol faintly glowing beneath the temple stones. A wave of warmth surged through her palm—intense, electric, and all too recognizable. It was the same heat she sensed whenever Rowan was near… and the same perilous spark that had nearly shattered her the night her abilities emerged.Yet, this one felt different. This one acknowledged her.Rowan moved forward immediately. “Luna—stay still. Something in the ground just activated.”“I realize,” she murmured, unable to withdraw her hand even if she tried. The symbol pulsed again, brighter this time, sending a shudder through the earth. “It’s responding to me.”Kai stiffened behind Rowan, weapons already at the ready. “Responding is okay. Exploding is not. Can we please distance ourselves before the temple decides to sprout teeth and consume us?”But Luna hardly registered him. The warmth moved from her palm into her wrist, then her arm,

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 132

    The Echo That Split the NightThe night over Silvercrest was unnaturally quiet. There was no breeze, no moonlight—just the faint hum of the barrier that Rowan had fortified earlier. Aiden sensed it first—a tremor in the atmosphere, an anomaly that felt out of place. Standing at the overlook tower, his muscles coiled tight, and his gaze was intense. Something was approaching. Luna ascended the steps behind him, her breath stable despite the fatigue from their earlier training session. “You sensed it too,” she murmured. Aiden remained facing forward. “It’s not a patrol. It’s not a wandering spirit. This feels different.” His wolf was restless beneath his skin, growling in agitation.Before Luna could inquire further, Rowan and Kai emerged, both visibly on edge. Rowan’s eyes emitted a faint glow as he pointed toward the horizon. “The Heartstone’s alarm has been continuous since noon. Whatever is approaching… it defies nature.”Luna stepped closer. “Is it them? The corrupted ones?” “No
