All Chapters of ELARA; THE LUNAR ALPHA : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Raven’s POVThe battleground was littered with the fallen werewolves, the stench of blood thick in the cold night air. Fires crackled in the distance where homes had been burned, and the echo of dying screams faded into eerie silence.But none of that mattered.Kael and Elara were indeed great fighters.I didn't even care much.Because I had her.Elara.Bound in silver chains, on her knees before me, but not broken. Not yet.Her golden eyes burned like wildfire, her breath heavy but steady, her body still tense despite her restraints. A warrior, through and through.But warriors could fall.And tonight, she would fall to me.My wish had finally come true.Finally I'll control her.I reached out, tilting her chin up with a gloved hand, forcing her to meet my gaze. “You fought well,” I murmured, my voice smooth as silk.She jerked her head away, baring her teeth like the wild creature she was. “If you’re going to kill me, do it.”I laughed softly, shaking my head. “Kill you? No, no, Ela

Kael's POV It was the next day. The sunrise was soft, casting golden hues across the forest.Elara stirred, her body warm against mine. My arm was draped over her protectively, her breathing slow and steady.For a brief moment, I allowed myself to savor it.But reality came rushing back.I sat up, careful not to wake her, and ran a hand through her tangled hair. We had a mission. And we couldn’t afford distractions.But when I looked back at Elara, still sleeping peacefully beside me, I knew…Some things were worth fighting for.And I would fight for this.For her.For our future.Because no matter what awaited us , we would face it together.Immediately we arrived at the First Clan, we informed Luca and Lyanna about Raven.Luca had never been a man to hesitate, Immediately he found out, he decided to report to the council.I tried to stop him and think of a plan but he paid no attention. He immediately shifted to his wolf and journeyed to the Council Chambers. And I followed suit.

lara’s POVThe air inside the council chamber was thick with tension. The Elders sat in a perfect semicircle, their faces impassive as they regarded me. Some had expressions of doubt, others of intrigue, but none of them were ready to accept me without proof.I stood tall, my chin raised, despite the weight of their scrutiny.“You claim to be the Lunar Alpha,” said Elder Cassius, his silver beard flowing down his chest as he observed me with piercing eyes. “Yet, a title is meaningless without power to uphold it.”I clenched my fists at my sides, fighting the urge to growl. “I don’t just claim it. I am the Lunar Alpha.”Some of the Elders scoffed.“Then prove it,” Elder Mara said, her voice sharp. “You must pass the Three Trials—the same trials faced by every Lunar Alpha before you.”Whispers spread through the chamber. The Three Trials were legendary—only those destined to rule had ever succeeded.Kael stiffened beside me, his hand instinctively resting on his sword. He knew the dange

Elara’s POVThe cold wind whispered through the trees as I stood in the clearing with my mother, Lyanna. The scent of damp earth and pine filled my lungs, grounding me. Despite the chill in the air, sweat clung to my skin as I caught my breath, my muscles still trembling from the hours of intense training.Lyanna circled me like a predator watching its prey, her piercing eyes locked onto mine. Her movements were precise, controlled—nothing she did was without purpose. She was a warrior, a leader, a survivor.And now, my mentor.She had returned from the shadows to prepare me for what was coming, and I could feel the weight of that responsibility pressing down on me.“Again,” she commanded, her voice firm.I gritted my teeth and launched forward, shifting mid-air into my wolf form. My claws dug into the earth as I lunged toward her, but she sidestepped with ease, her own transformation just as fluid.We clashed. Claw against claw. Teeth against teeth.She was faster, but I was stronge

Elara’s POVThe morning was crisp, the air thick with anticipation. A hush had fallen over the gathered werewolves, their eyes locked onto the towering stone platform where the Elders stood. The sacred ground of the Lunar Tribunal shimmered faintly under the light of the rising sun.I stood at the center, my heart steady despite the weight of what lay ahead.The Three Quests—the sacred trials that would determine whether I was worthy of the title Lunar Alpha.I had prepared for this my entire life, though I never imagined it would happen under these circumstances. The war looming over us. The weight of my past mistakes. The knowledge that if I failed, it wouldn’t just be my own fate that was sealed—it would be the fate of every werewolf looking to me for leadership.But I couldn’t afford to think of failure.I lifted my chin, my gaze meeting the lead Elder’s. Elder Vaughn, the eldest among them, stepped forward. His silver robes flowed around him as his piercing black eyes bore into m
