When Shadows Strike Back

A chilling silence enveloped the forest as Luna, Rowan, and Kai navigated the narrow ridge leading into the Shadow King’s outer territory. It had been silent—too silent—for hours, and Luna sensed something amiss in the atmosphere. The trees stood unnaturally stiff, their branches remaining still despite the wind slicing across the mountain range like sharp blades.

Every instinct within her screamed: This is a setup.

Yet retreat was no longer an option.

The Shadow King had bided his time long enough. His stillness, his absence, and his lack of a response after Rowan shattered the Blood Sigil—it all signified one thing:

He was masterminding something larger. Something more sinister.

And he was nearing completion.

Luna clenched her hold on the luminous Heartstone pendant that rested against her chest. Its gentle pulse resonated with her heartbeat, soothing her even as her anxiety heightened. She sensed Rowan’s gaze upon her—steady, protective, but taut. He too fe

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 145

    The Luna’s Silent OathThe atmosphere felt unusually still following the turmoil of the previous encounter, as if the earth itself was pausing, anticipating…observing. Dawn illuminated the horizon, transforming the forest into a canvas of gentle gold and quivering shadows. However, Luna was unable to appreciate that beauty — not while her heart raced faster than her thoughts.She stood solitary at the riverbank, her reflection distorting across the water's surface. Her silver hair, fortified by the Heartstone’s connection, danced softly in the morning breeze. Her eyes — which had once been filled with fear and doubt — now sparkled with a resolve she barely recognized. Yet, she embraced it. She required it.Everything around her appeared tranquil, but beneath that tranquility, Luna sensed the tug…a whisper coursing through her veins like a forewarning. The Heartstone was agitated within her, its energy resonating in slow, rhythmic waves.Behind her, branches stirred. She did not turn r

    The Moon’s Edge of FateThe wind outside the cavern howled like a wounded beast, scraping against the stone walls as if trying to claw its way in. Luna braced a hand on the uneven ground, her breath sharp, every muscle in her body still vibrating from the echo of the vision she’d just seen. It wasn’t merely a glimpse—it was a warning. A promise. A threat wrapped in moonlight and fire.Rowan crouched beside her instantly, hands on her shoulders, eyes searching her face. “Luna… what did you see? Don’t shut me out this time.”His voice was firm yet trembling, carrying a fear he would never admit. Kai stood behind him, tense as a drawn bow, his aura flaring with protective worry.Luna swallowed, attempting to steady herself. The vision still pulsed beneath her skin: shadows swallowing forests, wolves falling one by one, the moon eclipsed in blood. And at the center of it—the dark silhouette of a man whose presence felt older than time.“The Eclipse King,” she whispered, her voice barely a

    Shadows in the Council ChamberThe Moon Temple had endured the night, yet the atmosphere within its ancient structure felt heavier than it ever had. Luna could feel it the instant she entered the majestic council chamber alongside Rowan and Kai—the atmosphere was taut, thick with unvoiced anxieties and something darker… suspicion.The council members were already in their seats. Elders, commanders, and the remaining high guardians fixed their gazes upon her, some in admiration… others in silent doubt. Ever since the Heartstone had stirred inside her, each meeting felt like an exam for which she hadn’t prepared.Rowan leaned in close, speaking softly, “Keep calm. Most of them are merely frightened by change.”Luna nodded, but fear coiled beneath her ribs.Not fear of them—Fear of herself.The Heartstone’s energy had intensified, its whispers more distinct. At times, she struggled to distinguish her own thoughts from the ancient voice resonating within her.But today, she couldn’t affo

    THE NIGHT THE MOON TREMBLEDAs soon as the moon appeared above the treetops, the atmosphere shifted.Luna sensed the change before anyone else. A murmur—gentle, quivering, almost scared—slipped through her thoughts like icy fingers.“He is awakening.”She froze. That voice. She had heard it once before, within the Heartstone chamber. The voice of the ancient Moon Guardian… or whatever essence remained of him.Rowan halted mid-stride and turned swiftly. “Luna? What’s wrong?”Kai, who had been scouting ahead, rushed back. “Her aura just spiked. Something isn’t right.”Luna placed a hand on her chest. The Heartstone throbbed beneath her skin, faintly illuminating her tunic, as if in response to a call she couldn't decipher.“I heard him,” she breathed. “The Guardian. He says someone is awakening.”Rowan’s jaw clenched. “Awakening? Who?”Before she could respond, the ground shook beneath them. Birds erupted from the trees in panic. Wolves howled in confusion from a distance.Then a deep r

    The Pulse Beneath the RuinsThe atmosphere within the fragmented courtyard resonated with a low, fluctuating hum, as if the world itself was pausing for a moment. The ruins surrounding them—shattered pillars, toppled stone arches, and walls sagging dangerously—seemed to pulse with a dim silver glow that Luna felt deep within her. It wasn't loud, yet it was impossible to overlook. It tugged at her heart, softly calling her by name without uttering a sound.Rowan stepped closer, his hand grazing her arm gently. “It’s responding to you,” he said softly. His tone remained hushed, as if elevating it could disturb something primal and menacing.Kai had his daggers out, his gaze keen and restless as he scanned the perimeter of the courtyard. “Or it’s responding to something nearby,” he muttered. “This place feels off. It seems like the ground is breathing.”Luna swallowed hard. She could sense that too.A chilling wind swept through the ruins, carrying sounds that resembled distant cries. Th
