The Echo in the Moon Veins

That night, the Moon Temple exuded a different aura—vibrant, restless, as if the ancient stones were murmuring warnings beneath the chilling breath of the wind. Luna sensed it as well. A gentle vibration coursed through her palms the instant she made contact with the wall of the inner chamber, her heartbeat aligning with the temple’s rhythm in a manner that caused her chest to constrict.

Something was stirring.

Something ancient… and something destined for her.

Rowan entered quietly behind her, his presence radiating warmth even amidst the frigid, storm-laden air. She refrained from turning, yet she sensed him pause, observing her with that careful intensity he adopted whenever he suspected the world was once again shifting around them.

“You sense it too, don’t you?” he inquired.

Luna released a slow breath. “It’s more potent than yesterday. The Heartstone has done something—awakened something. It feels as though the entire temple is attempting to communicat

    The Last Gambit of the Shadow KingRowan was forcibly brought into a cell hewn from stone so ancient that it resonated with a subtle, primordial rhythm. Chains encircled his wrists, illuminated by dark sigils that appeared to writhe beneath his skin like minuscule needles. He did not flinch—he was determined not to—but the pain was genuine, intended to weaken him, to siphon every bit of Alpha strength from his bloodstream.Above him, a torch flickered with sickly purple flames.Across the chamber, the Shadow King stood with his hands clasped behind his back, observing Rowan as if he were a specimen. His eyes—cold, infinite, ravenous—shone with a quiet insanity.“You remain surprisingly composed for a man on the verge of losing everything,” the Shadow King remarked softly.Rowan raised his chin, his jaw clenched. “I will not lose. Not when it truly matters.”“The Luna?” The Shadow King grinned, tapping a finger against his lips. “Ah yes… your beloved Luna. Your little miracle under the

    The Heartstone’s Breaking SilenceA chilly wind swept through the courtyard of the Moon Temple as Luna stepped outside, clutching her robe more tightly around her shivering form. The night sky above her swirled with streaks of violet light—an echo of the Heartstone’s erratic pulse within the temple. The storm was unnatural. It was responding to her.And it filled her with dread.She had not revealed to Rowan or Kai the complete truth of what she had witnessed behind her closed eyelids that morning. She had not shared how the Heartstone called her name, not in a manner of guidance… but as a warning. As if it feared something was approaching. Or feared her transformation into something she was never intended to become.Yet, she could not conceal it for much longer. The world around her had grown too loud.As she traversed the courtyard, she heard the sound of boots crunching against the stone tiles. Rowan stepped out from the shadows, concern etched across every feature of his face. “Yo

    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

    When Shadows Strike BackA 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
