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 215

    The Moment the World ShiftedThe storm outside had calmed, yet within Aria’s heart, a tempest brewed—one far more intense than rain or thunder. Her heartbeat raced as she gazed at Rowan across the dimly illuminated war room. The map laid out before them was strewn with markers—uncontrolled movements, absent scouts, and the peculiar symbols Selene had revealed to her in the vision. Each detail pointed to a singular truth.The enemy was not approaching.The enemy was already among us.Rowan’s jaw tightened as he scrutinized her, his dark eyes filled with concern. “You’ve hardly spoken since we departed from Selene. What precisely did she reveal to you?”Aria hesitated before responding. Her mind was a tangled web—her mother’s visage, the blood on the Moon Hall floors, the flash of treachery from a man standing behind her mother in the vision. A man adorned with a crest she recognized.A crest from a pack she once held in trust.Her voice emerged raw. “Rowan… it wasn’t rogues. My mother

    What the Moon DemandsThe reverberation from Selene’s vision lingered in Aria’s bones long after the light faded away. She faltered, gasping, clutching the nearest pillar as the ruins stabilized around her. The frigid air pierced her lungs, yet it paled in comparison to the searing sensation within her chest.Rowan caught her before she fell."Aria—Aria, focus on me. What did she reveal to you?"Aria shut her eyes tightly. The images clawed at her consciousness—her mother fleeing through the woods; flames; shadows; betrayal; a recognizable crest imprinted on the blade that ended her mother’s life.Not rogues.Not strangers.Pack blood.Her voice trembled. "My mother… she was pursued. And not by foes." She swallowed hard. "It was the High Council. One of their own executed the order."Rowan froze, his breath sharp. "The Council?" he whispered. "Aria, that implies—""Yes," she replied, her voice quaking with fury. "My curse… it wasn’t destiny. It wasn’t a coincidence." She raised her he

    When the Moon Remembers Your NameAria did not breathe—not initially.The vision that Selene had revealed to her continued to blaze behind her eyes. Her mother’s visage… her tender smile… the anguish in her last moments. The treachery. The ambush. The familiar scent of wolves—wolves she had trusted throughout her life.It was overwhelming.As the world came back into view, Aria found herself kneeling on the frigid stone floor of the dilapidated Moon Hall. Her hands were pressed against the fractured ground, her breath trembling uncontrollably.Rowan immediately dropped down beside her.“Aria—look at me. What did she reveal to you? Speak to me.”But Aria was unable to articulate her thoughts. Her voice was ensnared in her throat, choked by sorrow so piercing it felt like a dagger lodged within her chest.Selene stood before them, silent, her silver luminescence dimmed with compassion.“I cautioned you,” she whispered. “Truth comes at a cost. And at times… it shatters before it mends.”

    The Memory That Shouldn’t ExistThe world reassembled in a swift rush of breath.Aria stumbled forward, grasping her chest as the chill dissipated and the remnants of the Moon Hall came into focus around her once again. Her knees struck the fractured stone, and she gasped—because what she had just witnessed was not a dream, nor a vision.It was a memory.Her memory.Her mother’s memory.A truth that had been concealed beneath layers of deception and smoke.Rowan knelt beside her, his hands steadying her shoulders. “Aria—Aria, look at me. What occurred? What did she reveal to you?”But Aria was unable to respond. Her throat had constricted, emotion surging through her like wildfire. She pressed a trembling hand against the ground to steady herself.Selene stood a few feet away, silent, waiting.Aria forced air into her lungs. “I saw… everything.”Rowan’s hands stilled on her arms. “Tell me.”Aria raised her head slowly. The moonlight bathed her face, highlighting the tears she hadn’t e

    The Storm She Was Meant ForThe moon loomed low, heavy and marred, as if the sky held its breath solely for her. Aria stood on the brink of the ancient ridge, her hands quaking—not from fear, but from the overwhelming weight of all she had discovered, all she had transformed into, and all she was on the verge of confronting.Beneath her, the valley where the united packs had assembled shimmered with campfires. Yet the vibe was off. Too silent. Too motionless. As if every wolf present could perceive the change in fate but had yet to grasp its significance.Aria drew a sharp breath as the wind kissed her skin—cold, biting, and vibrating with the familiar echo of Selene’s power.Rowan approached her from behind, his presence solid and reassuring despite the tension thickening the atmosphere.“They’re anticipating you,” he whispered, his voice rough. “Some are fearful. Some are irate. Some… already have their suspicions about the truth.”Aria gulped. The truth.That her mother had been sl

    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
