Sweat drenched my shirt. My chest heaved, my heart pounding against my ribs as if it wanted to break free. My eyes darted around the small room, searching for the shadow that chased me in my dream. The silence inside pressed down harder than any noise could. My window was shut, locked tight. No footsteps in the hall. No growls curling through the night. Nothing.

And yet, those eyes…

Those green eyes still lingered in my mind, glowing like fire in the dark. They burned into me, haunting me, as if the dream wasn’t a dream at all. As if someone had truly been standing there, watching me, waiting.

I pressed my hand against my chest, trying to calm the drum inside me. My breaths came out shaky, shallow.

What could this actually be?

Why did it feel so real? Why did the air in my dream taste like smoke, like earth, like blood? Why did it feel like my skin had been crawling, even though I had been asleep?

A hundred questions flooded me, all crashing together until my head ached.

  • The luna’s misery   Chapter 18

    I left the storeroom with my head heavy and my heart beating louder than a drum. The priestess’s antidote was in my hand, tucked carefully inside a small box I had grabbed from my room. My fingers shook as I wrapped it, as if the tiny bottle held the weight of the world. How could Alpha Johnson tell me to throw it away? How could he order me to erase the one chance Nora had to survive?No matter what he said, no matter the consequences, I could never do it. Not in this life. Never.Nora deserved to live.I hid the small box beneath my bed, then sat on the edge of it with my head buried in my hands. The day dragged on, every second biting at me, every moment reminding me that she was locked in that cold storeroom, still trapped in her wolf form, still weak. I couldn’t stay away. By noon, I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to see her. I had to help her.I made my way back, careful not to draw attention. The path to the storeroom was unusually quiet, too quiet. My instincts flared. Then I

    The voice vanished, and for a brief moment, I allowed myself to breathe. My chest rose and fell slowly, and the tension that had locked my body finally loosened a little. Limene was silent. She was still inside me, but I could tell how weak she was. Even when I reached out, she didn’t answer. It was like her strength had been pulled out of her completely.We let nature take its place. We had no choice.The sound of something heavy being dragged, like the cracking of iron against stone, made my ears twitch. My eyes opened a little, and I blinked against the blur. I looked at my body. Still wolf. My paws, my fur, the emerald glow. Still trapped. Still not human.A sharp pain pierced my heart, sudden and deep. It burned through me so badly I gasped without meaning to. The pain jolted Limene awake, but she was too weak to speak. She stirred, restless, frustrated, clawing faintly inside me, but she couldn’t rise.What is really happening?I thought she was strong. She told me she was not a

    The ground beneath me spun like it was alive. My chest tightened, and the air left my lungs in a sharp gasp. I couldn’t hold myself steady anymore. Limene’s growl echoed inside me, deep and restless, but my body betrayed me. My legs gave out.I collapsed.The training ground, the fire torches, the eyes watching me they all blurred. The noise became a distant hum. For a heartbeat, I thought I had died.Then the darkness pulled me in.I was running.Not on two legs, but on four. Limene’s paws pounded against the earth. The trees flew past us in streaks of black and green. My heart raced with hers, thudding so hard I thought it might burst. The air smelled sharp, bitter, like poison.Something was chasing us.I didn’t see it, but I felt it. The ground trembled behind us, the shadows stretched long, and the sound of snapping branches echoed closer and closer. My chest burned as if fire itself had settled inside my ribs.“Limene!” I screamed into the night, my voice raw and frantic. “You n

  • The luna’s misery   Chapter 15

    The sensation burning inside my body was like nothing I had ever felt before. At first, it was a flicker like a match striking in the dark. Then, suddenly, it roared into a firestorm. Heat shot through my veins, curling around my bones, and I could feel my own heart hammering against my ribs like it was trying to escape.I opened my mouth to scream, but what came out was a broken sound part growl, part cry.“What’s happening to me?” I whispered hoarsely, my voice trembling. My knees buckled beneath me. My palms pressed hard against the ground, but it was like pressing against molten rock. Everything burned.From somewhere far away, I thought I heard voices. Faint. Blurry. Like echoes from another world.“What’s the problem, Nora?”It was a whisper, but it felt like it traveled through a tunnel before it reached my ears. My vision blurred. My body refused to obey me. My muscles locked up and trembled violently.Then crack.I gasped. The sound was inside me. My bones. My spine. My arms.

  • The luna’s misery   Chapter 14

    I woke up and saw myself still lying flat on the floor. My cheek pressed against the cold tiles, and for a moment I couldn’t even tell if I was alive or if the moon had taken me to another world. My body was stiff, my throat dry, and my head was spinning like I had been thrown down from a cliff.What happened to me?Why was I still on the floor?My eyes darted to the corner of the room as if expecting to find someone standing there, watching me. But the room was empty. Empty and silent, except for the pounding of my heart inside my chest.I tried to gather my thoughts, to piece together the last fragments I could remember. The moon yes, the moon. It had spoken to me, hadn’t it? Or maybe it hadn’t spoken at all. Maybe it was just my imagination, a tired mind twisting shadows into whispers. But I remembered the way it pressed down on me, like a weight I could not escape. A heavy force that crushed my body to the ground, like I was nothing but dust under its gaze.Had I dreamed it? Or ha

    “What?” I looked at her, eyebrows pulled together.“The full moon is out,” Rita said, her voice softer now, almost reverent. “Can’t you see it?”Her lips curved in a smile as she raised her hand, pointing toward the window.My eyes followed her gesture and landed on the glittering light spilling from the sky. The moon hung high, white and sharp, casting its glow across the world. The humming of the moon’s pull felt like a low sound in my bones, a vibration deep inside, as if it were calling my name. From the north, the silver light spread like a veil, casting long, trembling shadows across the kitchen floor.For a moment, it didn’t feel like light at all. It felt like a gaze. A smile.Maybe the moon really was happy about tonight. Its glow was bright enough to turn sorrow into joy, bright enough to promise everlasting happiness. For the past two months, the moon had been only a half-shadow. But tonight it was full again. Full and perfect.In the book I once read, the old one hidden at
