The Rogue's Forbidden Luna Behind me
Luna's POV The first howl split the night like a blade. It came from the shadows beyond the ruins - low, guttural, and close enough to make the hairs on my arms stand up. Kael didn’t hesitate. His sword was in his hand before I could even breathe. “Stay behind me,” he said, his voice sharp as steel. “I’m not-” “Luna.” His eyes locked on mine for a heartbeat. “Behind me.” The growl of approaching footsteps was the only warning we got before Magnus’s fighters broke through the crumbling archway. They moved like wolves even in human form-fast, coordinated, eyes glowing with the Blood Pact’s silver light. The mark on my arm flared, heat rushing up my veins like fire. My knees almost buckled, but I forced myself to stay up. Kael stepped forward to meet them. The first fighter swung, and Kael blocked, their blades clashing with a metallic scream. Sparks lit the air. He spun, cutting low, his movements so fast they blurred. I backed toward the ritual circle, my pulse hammering.
The Rogue's Forbidden Luna Just scared
Luna's POV The Blood Moon was almost here. The sky above the ruins had bled from silver to deep crimson, the light spilling into the cracks in the ancient walls like fire. The herbs were laid in a perfect circle. The silverroot glistened faintly, the moonfern trembling like it could feel what was coming. Kael knelt in front of the circle, striking flint over the dried dusk petals. “Once the fire catches, there’s no going back,” he said without looking up. “I know.” My voice was steady, but my hands weren’t. He finally glanced at me, his eyes sharp. “Stay inside the circle no matter what. You hear me?” I nodded. “And you?” He gave a half-smile. “I’ll be wherever you need me.” The first curl of smoke rose from the herbs. My mark flared with heat - not pain, just an insistent throb like it was aware of the ritual starting. I took a step toward the circle. That’s when I heard it. The sound of boots against stone. Kael stiffened instantly, his hand going to the hilt of his bl
The Rogue's Forbidden Luna Careful
Luna's POV The ruins felt different in daylight. The cold stone that had whispered of ghosts last night now hummed with something… alive.Kael said it was the moon. Even though it wouldn’t rise red until nightfall, the air was already thick with its pull.We worked in silence most of the morning, gathering herbs from the overgrown gardens behind the main hall. My fingers brushed over purple moonfern, the leaves shivering under my touch. The scent was sharp - metallic, almost - and it made my mark ache faintly.“Careful,” Kael said from a few feet away, crouched over a patch of silverroot. “Too much contact and the mark will start reacting.”I straightened, brushing my hair from my face. “Feels like everything makes it react these days.”He glanced up at me, the sun catching in his eyes. “That’s because we’re close. It’s not going to get easier from here.”I tried to smile but it came out thin. “Comforting.”We filled our pouches - moonfern, silverroot, dusk petals, and a small bundl
The Rogue's Forbidden Luna Old wounds
Luna's POV The tunnel narrowed, then opened into a wide, echoing chamber. The air here felt older, heavier, like it had been waiting centuries for someone to disturb it.Our boots crunched over layers of dust and grit as we stepped inside. Faded moonlight spilled in from a crack in the ceiling, just enough to show the walls.I froze.“Kael,” I whispered, pointing.The walls weren’t plain. They were painted - no, carved and painted. Figures moved along the stone in a sequence, like a story frozen in time. Wolves. Moons. Blood. And in the center, a circle of people standing around a blazing mark on the ground.Kael moved closer, brushing away the cobwebs with the back of his hand. His voice was low when he spoke. “It’s a mural. Moonborn work. Very old.”I took a step toward the nearest panel. The figures were robed, their faces shadowed. One held a dagger, the blade dripping into the mark on the ground. Another - smaller - stood with their hands raised to the sky as the moon above th
The Rogue's Forbidden Luna Part of the pact
Luna's POV “They might be part of the pact,” he said. “Or just rotten. Either way.”We turned left at a split because left was narrower and Kael likes narrow when he’s being hunted. I liked narrow because it made me feel held, even if the hands were stone.Another sound slid along the passage - the wrong, soft step of a shadow made of wet night. My breath sped up. Kael lifted a hand without looking back - breathe with me - and I matched him. It steadied me enough not to trip.The floor dropped in a shallow, slick ramp. Kael took it first, bracing one hand on the ceiling to slow. I followed, boots sliding. My shoulder hit the wall. Something moved there - cold and sticky. I jerked away with a hiss.“You okay?” he asked, voice low.“Yes.” My heart said no.We kept moving. The tunnel narrowed into a choke point. Stone pressed my shoulders; the ceiling skimmed the top of my head. Kael turned sideways, passing through like a letter slipped under a door. I went after him, chest scraping
The Rogue's Forbidden Luna We're close
Luna's POV The morning air was cold enough to bite through my cloak. I pulled the hood lower over my head, the weight of my pack tugging on my shoulders as Kael and I followed the narrow dirt path out of the hills.The ritual site was still a full day’s journey away. One day, if nothing slowed us down. But the mark under my skin was already burning - hot, sharp, random.I pressed a palm against my ribs, right over where the faint, silvery glow sometimes leaked through. “It’s worse today,” I murmured.Kael slowed, glancing at me from the corner of his eye. “How bad?”“Like… someone’s pressing a hot iron into me. Then letting go. Then pressing again.”His jaw tightened. “Tell me the second it gets unbearable. Don’t try to be brave.”I frowned at him. “You think I’m trying to be brave?”“I think you like to pretend you’re fine when you’re not.” His voice was low, matter-of-fact. “I’d rather you tell me than pass out in the middle of nowhere.”I rolled my eyes, though my heart squeezed a
The Rogue's Forbidden Luna Maybe more
Luna's POV “Fall back,” one said, though no one had spoken to him.They melted into the trees. No rush. No panic. In thirty heartbeats, the shadows were gone.The quiet left behind was heavier than the fight.Kael didn’t sheathe his sword. “Hold,” he said to the line. “No pursuit. Hold and breathe
The Rogue's Forbidden Luna A broken crown
Luna's POV We pushed through a last line of undergrowth and came into another shallow dip. A broken boulder sat at the far side, split cleanly down the middle sometime long ago. The claw prints circled the stone once, twice, then stopped.“There,” Rin breathed.At first I didn’t see it. The shape
The Rogue's Forbidden Luna Put me down
Luna's POV We left at first light, when the sky was the color of cold iron and the smoke on the ridges looked like sleeping beasts.Kael chose the team: me, two scouts from the north slope - Rin and Joss - and Lera, the old baker who threw stones like they were arrows. Lera insisted.“I can still
The Rogue's Forbidden Luna Shall we begin?
Luna's POV The tightness of my ceremonial dress made it hard to breathe. Or maybe it wasn’t the dress. Maybe it was the fear of what was about to happen. The packhouse ballroom sparkled with candlelight, and the scent of freshly cut flowers filled the air, but none of it mattered. Not the golden
