Semua Bab Moonbound Legacy: Bab 41 - Bab 50

The sky had shifted to a pale blue, dawn still far enough away to cast the woods in soft shadows. The silence of the clearing seemed to press in on Isla as she sat at the small wooden table in the cabin, the weight of everything that had been revealed settling on her shoulders. She felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff, the ground slipping away beneath her feet, but she was unable to look down.Luca’s words hung in the air, an unspoken promise. "We prepare. Together. And we face what comes—no matter what the cost." But what did that truly mean? And more importantly, what was the cost?Her fingers idly traced the outline of the pendant on the table, the delicate curve of its crescent moon carving a strange heat into her skin. It felt alive now, as if it had been waiting for this moment—waiting for her. Isla glanced at the doorway, half-expecting to see Luca again, to feel his presence nearby. Instead, the cabin was eerily quiet, the stillness almost suffocating.Luca’s Reso

Isla didn’t sleep that night. She couldn’t. The weight of the journal in her hands, the secrets it held, pressed against her ribs, like a thousand unspoken words clawing to get out. Her thoughts raced, colliding with one another in a chaos she couldn’t untangle. There was no escaping it anymore—the world she had known was slipping away, and what was replacing it felt unfamiliar, even dangerous.The cabin was quiet, save for the soft crackling of the fire, which seemed to mirror the restless stirrings inside her chest. Outside, the wind howled, making the trees sway like shadows dancing in the night. She wrapped her arms around her knees, hugging them close to her chest, trying to ground herself, but the more she thought, the more she felt like she was being pulled in every direction.The voice on the phone earlier—Astra—had set everything into motion. The rogue, with her cryptic warnings and her unsettling knowledge of Isla’s family, had made it clear: the truth was coming, whether Is

The night air felt heavier now, as if the world itself was holding its breath, waiting for the storm Isla knew was coming. She couldn’t explain it, but something had shifted in the last few moments, something deep inside her that told her the path she had just chosen wasn’t just her own. It was bigger than her, bigger than anything she had ever imagined.Luca’s presence was grounding, like a steady anchor in the midst of the uncertainty swirling around them. But even as he stood beside her, his warmth radiating through the thin fabric of her jacket, Isla felt the weight of everything pressing down on her chest. The journal. The mark. Her father’s disappearance. And the prophecy. It all seemed to be spiraling out of control, faster than she could process.“I need to know what’s in the journal,” she whispered, her voice trembling with the magnitude of the request.Luca’s eyes darkened, the weight of his own secrets flickering in their depths. He didn’t answer right away, his gaze fixed

The rogue’s eyes gleamed with a predatory hunger that sent a shiver through Isla’s spine. Every instinct screamed at her to run, to flee the danger that was closing in like a storm on the horizon. But her legs remained frozen, as if the very ground beneath her feet was rooted in place by the magnitude of what was happening.Luca’s grip tightened on her wrist, pulling her toward him, his body instinctively positioning itself between her and the approaching threat. His stance was powerful, steady, but Isla could see the tension in his jaw, the way his muscles coiled beneath his clothes. This was no ordinary wolf—they both knew it.The rogue moved silently, its large frame blending into the shadows of the trees like a predator in its element. It was impossible to tell whether it was a wolf or something more, something dangerous. Its fur was a dark shade of gray that shimmered faintly, almost unnatural under the fading light.Luca’s voice came low and strained. “Stay behind me, Isla. Don’

The first rays of dawn stretched across the horizon, their pale light weaving through the trees like threads of destiny. Isla stood by the clinic’s back door, looking out at the quiet world beyond. Her eyes were tired, but her mind refused to rest. The revelation from Luca still churned in her thoughts, like the restless tide crashing against the shore of her consciousness.She had always felt like there was something more to her life—something beyond the predictable days of small-town veterinary care and the humdrum of routine. But now, everything she thought she knew was unraveling, piece by piece. And the truth, as unsettling as it was, felt too much like a weight she wasn’t ready to carry.Yet here she was, standing on the precipice of a future she hadn’t asked for, one that would forever bind her to a world she didn’t fully understand. She closed her eyes, trying to breathe through the pressure building in her chest.A movement behind her broke her thoughts. Turning, Isla found L
