All Chapters of Marked by Moonlight: A Rejected Mate's Redemption: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Rey woke in the morning and she stumbled up to her feat, she looked around and she was alone in the woods. Her body felt abnormally cranky and stiff and she did not have enough sensations at her limbs, she very quickly remembered that she and the rest of the pack members had begun the final ritual to save Xavier.***“Xavier has been poisoned with dark magic, the assailant was bathed in dark magic and now some of it has poisoned Xavier”, Seraphina said as she looked at Rey and Lucius.“What do we do?”, Lucius asked impatiently. “There must be something you can do”“There may be, You can all share the burden by linking your souls to each other and sharing your spirit essence. You will all share the poison but as a whole you should all be able to resist the poison”, Seraphina said.“That can work", Asher said hopefully.Orion looked at Seraphina wearily and said: "There is a but isn't there?, Such rituals tend to be very dangerous for everyone involved.""We don't have much of a choice.

The words of Lucius had rallied the pack and it was to most members of the pack a declaration of war and soon the pack had fully recovered and the next order of events was grueling and brutal training and sharpening of the senses of pack members. It had been weeks since they began their preparations, honing their skills and strengthening their bond. Asher and Luna had grown particularly close during this time, finding solace and comfort in each other's presence amidst the impending challenges. They often spent the night sitting around bonfires after a grueling training day and barely had any rest during the day.Seraphina took it upon herself to train Orion and Rey in the ways of mage-level magic. They spent countless hours immersed in ancient tomes and practicing intricate spells. Seraphina's guidance was invaluable as she shared her wisdom, helping them tap into the depths of their magical potential. The crackle of arcane energy filled the air as they mastered new spells, their conf

The crimson pack moved silently through the bustling streets of the capital city, their eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and caution. Disguised as peasants, they blended into the city slums, observing the grandeur and the secrets hidden within the walls of the capital. They had spent the last two weeks observing the city from the outside and had only proceeded to enter it once they had understood the tempo of the city. Asher and Rey had also been able to identify the presence of most of the regional alphas, it was clear that something was going on. Luna's heart raced as she discovered whispers of Black Bourne's presence in the city. Her eyes scanned the crowded streets, searching for any sign of his ominous figure. Meanwhile, Rey felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness as she hoped to reunite with Aurora, who had once been a close friend during her time as Damon's mate.As they made their way towards a hidden alley, Rey turned to Luna and said, "We need to be careful, Luna. Blac

Rey and Luna returned to Lucius, their minds swirling with the revelations from their discussion with Aurora. As they entered the pack's territory, they could feel the anticipation in the air. The pack members had gathered, awaiting their return and eager to hear what they had discovered.Lucius, who was with Asher and Orion stepped forward, his gaze fixed upon Rey. "Rey, Luna, what news do you bring? What did you uncover?"Rey took a deep breath, her voice steady as she began to recount their conversation with Aurora. She explained Damon's betrayal, the black magic within the pack, and the existence of a twisted conspiracy. Rey's words resonated with the pack, and a mixture of anger, confusion, and concern flickered across their faces.Lucius listened intently, absorbing every word. When Rey finished speaking, he glanced at the pack members, his voice filled with authority. "If Damon and other alphas are involved in black magic then it is unforgivable. We cannot ignore them. We need

The air was swarmed with hostility as Damon presented himself before the king, he was obviously determined to counter Lucius at every possible turn.Damon had risen in ranks among the alphas in resent times and was now respected and feared in the realm, He stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Lucius with disdain."Beware, Your Majesty," Damon began, his tone dripping with skepticism. "These are bold claims from a pack that has thrived in secrecy, shrouded by the enchantment of Silverwood. Should we blindly trust them and risk destabilizing the power hierarchy that has been established in our realm?"The room grew tense, the atmosphere thick with tension. Damon's words resonated with some alphas who valued the existing power structure, while others awaited Lucius's response with keen interest. Damon was also obviously trying to pitch as many alphas as possible the Crimson pack by painting them as disruptors who had no regard for the power structure and he was already showing signs of succ
