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 210

    The Awakening of the Moon-BoundThe world reassembled itself as Aria staggered forward, struggling to breathe. Her hands instinctively clutched her chest, as if she needed to keep her heart from escaping—because it felt as though it was attempting to break free.Rowan caught her just before she fell."Aria! Focus on me—Aria, what did she reveal to you?"But Aria was unable to respond. Not yet.Images continued to flash behind her closed eyelids, searing themselves into her memory like scars:Her mother’s face, fleeing through a forest with a baby cradled in her arms.Shadows pursuing her.A chilling voice commanding her demise.A crest—a symbol Aria had encountered before, though she could not yet identify it.And most haunting of all… the expression her mother gave her before everything faded to black.An expression of love.An expression of fear.An expression of sacrifice.When Aria finally opened her eyes, Selene remained beneath the shattered archway of the ruins, her silver aura

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 209

    The Vision That Shattered the WorldLight engulfed Aria completely.Not warm, not gentle—but sharp, blinding, and ancient.For a brief moment, she felt suspended in emptiness. No ground beneath her feet. No air in her lungs. No Rowan’s reassuring presence behind her. No ruins, no warriors, no storm—only light and silence dense enough to feel like a weight on her skin.Then the world fractured open.A surge of silver light radiated outward, and suddenly Aria found herself on solid ground once more—but it was not the remnants of the Moon Hall.It was a recollection.A recollection that did not belong to her.The sky above shimmered with a full moon far larger than she had ever witnessed, its luminescence spilling over a vast stone courtyard encircled by white pillars adorned with lunar engravings. Torches blazed with silver flames. Wolves—majestic, enormous, regal—moved among robed figures as if both species coexisted in perfect harmony.Aria’s breath caught in her throat.“This… this

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 208

    The Bond That Refused to BreakThe world jolted back into focus with a violent shock.Aria stumbled as the vision faded, her breath escaping her lungs as if she had sprinted for miles through a tempest. The ruins reemerged—shattered walls, partially collapsed arches, and cold air heavy with ancient secrets.Yet, she was no longer the same.Not anymore.Before she could steady herself, her knees struck the stone floor. Her hands shook uncontrollably, her heart racing under the burden of all she had just witnessed—her mother’s visage, the ritual, the treachery, the blood… the traitor.Rowan was at her side in less than a heartbeat.“Aria—Aria, focus on me.” His hands cradled her face, his voice low and rough with urgency. “What did she reveal to you? What transpired?”Aria attempted to respond.No words emerged.Her throat felt as if it were bound by chains.Selene stood a few paces away, observing with an expression that conveyed both sorrow…and anticipation. She had anticipated that t

    When the Dust Finally SettlesThe world returned gradually.Not with illumination. Not with sound.But with suffering.Aria inhaled sharply as her lungs struggled to take in a quivering breath. Her vision was hazy, colors blending together like wet paint. For a brief moment, she was uncertain whether she remained within Selene’s memory-realm or had returned to her own body.But then she sensed it—cold stone beneath her hands.The ruins.Reality.She blinked forcefully. Rowan’s voice pierced through the haze, filled with urgency.“Aria—Aria, look at me!”She raised her head. Rowan was kneeling before her, his hands gently holding her face, his chest rising and falling with rapid breaths. His eyes were luminous—fiery—his wolf perilously close to the surface.“I’m okay,” Aria murmured, although every bone in her body trembled.“No, you’re not.” Rowan pressed his forehead against hers. “You were gone for too long. You weren’t moving. I thought—”He inhaled sharply. “I thought I lost you.”

    The Moment the Moon Selected HerThe world jolted back into alignment with a violent shock.Aria stumbled forward, gasping as if the very air had been torn from her lungs. Her knees struck the cold stone. Rowan’s voice was faint behind her—calling her name, swearing, demanding explanations—but she couldn’t hear him over the ringing in her ears.Light continued to pulse beneath her skin.Selene’s vision had pulled her into the past… and now, it expelled her like a wave crashing onto the shore.Her mother’s scream still reverberated in her mind.Her mother’s blood.Her mother’s betrayal.The face of the one who dealt the final blow—Aria compelled herself to stand, her hands shaking. Rowan reached her first, gripping her shoulders firmly enough to steady her yet gently enough to allow her to pull away if she wished.“Aria,” he exhaled, searching her eyes. “What did she reveal to you?”Aria swallowed hard.A name formed on her tongue.But she was not prepared to voice it. Not yet. The tr

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 205

    When the Moon TremblesThe world surged back into Aria’s awareness like a forceful intake of breath.Stone. Chilly wind. The scent of Rowan. The ruins.Her knees gave way, and she faltered. Rowan caught her before she fell, his arms encircling her so tightly that it was difficult for her to breathe."Aria—Aria, focus on me," he urged, his voice wavering between fear and anger. "What did she reveal to you?"Yet Aria was unable to respond—not at that moment. Her head pounded as if something ancient had shattered within her. Her breaths were rapid and shallow, misting the frigid air. Her vision swayed, oscillating between the past and the present until everything felt surreal.She had witnessed far too much.Too vividly.Too painfully.Selene observed her with a quiet sorrow, her silver eyes mirroring every tremor that coursed through Aria’s form. "The truth is burdensome when it is revealed all at once," she whispered. "But it was necessary for you to witness it."Rowan tightened his ho
