The Sign of the First Luna

Dawn arrived softly, yet the atmosphere felt dense. The rays that broke through the clouds bore a slight crimson tint, as if the moon’s peculiar glow had left an imprint on the heavens.

Selene perched at the boundary of the training ground, observing the pack as they moved with a disquieting rhythm. The wolves murmured amongst themselves, their eyes flitting toward the woods where the crimson light had shone the previous night. Although no one spoke it aloud, an undercurrent of fear lingered like ash after a blaze.

Reven stood at the forefront, projecting serenity. “The forest remains secure,” he declared, his voice resolute. “There are no indications of peril or dark energies anymore. You are safe here.”

The assembly gradually dispersed, but their faces conveyed a different narrative—uncertainty and confusion simmered beneath the surface of their compliance. Selene sensed it as well, that quiet anxiety curling at the edge of her awareness.

  • The Cursed Luna's Return    Chapter 58

    Shadows of the PastMoonlight faintly glistened through the shattered windows of the old cabin, creating eerie shapes on the floorboards. Aria lingered in the doorway, her breath haggard. This place — this desolate structure deep in the forest — was where everything had begun. The aroma of damp moss and rotting wood mingled with a subtle hint of something she could never forget: blood.Her heart ached as she brushed her fingers against the wall, recalling the screams, the betrayal, the night her life unraveled.Behind her, Kael entered silently. His presence infused the space with warmth, despite the biting wind outside. “You shouldn’t have come here on your own,” he said quietly.Aria turned to meet his eyes. “I had to, Kael. I must confront what happened here. I need to remember everything.”Kael’s jaw clenched. “Some memories are best left forgotten.”“But some are what define us,” she countered, her voice wavering. “If I can’t confront my past, how can I stand up for my future?”H

    Beneath the Crimson VeilObscurity. That was all Selene initially comprehended. It wasn’t a fearsome kind of obscurity—it was weighty, infinite, and oddly sentient. She floated within it, sensing the earth's rhythm beneath her, as if the world itself was alive.Her body throbbed, but it was a remote kind of discomfort, akin to a recollection rather than an injury. When she finally managed to open her eyes, the realm glowed gently in crimson. She found herself on a bed of lush moss, encircled by walls that shimmered like molten rock. The air pulsated, imbued with age-old magic."Reven..." she murmured, her voice rough.For a fleeting moment, silence lingered. Then, a groan echoed nearby. She turned swiftly, heart racing as she spotted him—her Alpha, her mate—lying a short distance away, his body bruised but intact. The faint glow from the walls caught the silver streaks in his hair, rendering him almost ethereal.She crawled closer, placing a trembling hand on his chest. His heartbeat

    When the Moon WeepsThe subsequent night arrived too quickly, shrouding the fortress in a heavy, unsettling stillness. The torches lining the walls flickered dimly, their flames wavering like fading stars. Wolves now roamed in pairs, their ears quivering at every sound, their hearts burdened with fatigue and fear.Jorah leaned against the western watchtower, gazing into the fog. They had been waiting for three days. Three long, seemingly endless days had passed since the earth ceased to tremor. No fresh shocks, no voices, no indications — only silence.Sleep evaded him. Each time he shut his eyes, the valley appeared before him — illuminated in red, exhaling darkness — accompanied by Selene’s voice floating on the breeze.“Commander,” a gentle voice called from behind. It was Mira again. She had scarcely left his side since that fateful night. Her robes were stained with ash and dried blood from her efforts to care for the injured, yet her spirit radiated a quiet resilience that reass

    The Burden of SilenceDaylight emerged softly and chill over the stronghold. The scant warmth the sun provided did little to quell the discomfort that hung in the atmosphere. The once lively courtyard now resonated with the sounds of hushed conversations, clinking armor, and anxious hearts.The pack had remained awake. Not after the night of quakes.Commander Jorah positioned himself on the elevated wall, observing the forest beneath. The valley was silent now — too silent. Where there had been flashes of lightning and shifting forms, only still fog lingered, winding through the trees like spectral fingers.Mira approached, her footsteps gentle but her expression marked by fatigue. “They’re beginning to lose confidence,” she spoke softly. “Some of the younger ones believe the Luna’s voice was merely a trick of the curse.”Jorah didn’t turn to face her. His hands rested on the stone railing, knuckles tense. “Let them believe what they will,” he muttered. “As long as they continue to fi

    The Night of TremorsThe earth growled like an injured creature. The fortress stones creaked, cracking under a pressure they could not see as the moon turned a bloody red in the sky. Every wolf within the stronghold sensed it—the call of ancient power coursing through their very bones.Jorah stumbled out of the command hall, his claws only partially formed, his eyes glowing gold. “Secure the gates!” he yelled, but his voice was swallowed by the chorus of howling—hundreds of wolves crying out together, a blend of anguish and fear. He glanced toward the valley where their Alpha and Luna had disappeared days earlier. Lightning illuminated the landscape, not from above but emerging from the ground itself, rending the forest with streaks of crimson light.“What is going on?” Mira exclaimed as she rushed to stand beside him. Her hair clung to her face, her eyes filled with dread.“The curse,” Jorah growled. “It’s awake and raging.”The soldiers in the yard struggled to maintain their footi

    Through the Heart of the SealThe light engulfed them completely.In one breathless instant, Selene sensed her spirit being yanked from her body. The surroundings whirled, sound vanished, and she felt weightless — plunging through a limitless tunnel of light and shadows. Reven’s grasp on her hand was the sole thing keeping her tethered to reality.Then, with a thunderous rush of air, they landed.Selene gasped, her knees hitting soft earth. She blinked rapidly, attempting to understand her environment. The air was warm, thick with the fragrance of wild jasmine and rain. Above them stretched not stone but sky — a twilight expanse caught between night and dawn, painted in swirling shades of gold and violet.Reven stood slowly, his golden eyes scanning the horizon. “Where are we?”Selene got to her feet beside him, her heartbeat still racing. “It’s… stunning.”And it truly was — impossibly so. They found themselves in a sprawling field where silver grass shimmered under the twilight glow
