Semua Bab Rejected mythical Luna: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Leaving Lucy’s building with all these plans set, even if they were small gave my heart a little peace. Not much, but enough. I walked beside Julian toward the training centre, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows as we moved in silence for a bit. I figured I’d take the chance to catch up with him, but of course, he beat me to it. “Little Rex,” he started, his tone soft but pointed. “Are you okay? Like genuinely okay. Not that fake 'I’m fine' crap about being cool with her staying here after everything with Aries.” I didn’t even try to fake a smile. “I’m not sure,” I admitted, my voice quieter than I expected. “I don’t doubt what Aries and I have. That’s not the issue. But I don’t know what her purpose here is and that unsettles me, Julian.” “I knew it,” he groaned. “You’ve got to stop pretending to be strong all the time. It’s not healthy to carry that weight on your chest constantly.” “I just... I’ll be fine if I can find out what the hell she is, and why she’s really her

The moment the question left my mouth, Robin didn’t speak. His eyes just darted around frantically—searching. Searching for him. For my friend. Then, as he turned slightly to the side… I saw it. Him. Julian. He was lying on the grass just a few feet away. The ground beneath him was soaked in blood, and crimson still poured from a burn wound on his side, sickeningly visible. His hand—twisted in an unnatural position, it looked like it had taken the full impact of a fall. Like he had been shoved. My heart dropped. I ran. Ran to him. I dropped to my knees, eyes already welling with tears. “No... no...” I whispered, over and over again, as I cradled his head gently in my lap. His eyes fluttered open barely—and pain etched itself into every line of his face. Every tiny movement made him wince, and my heart shattered at the sight. “Did we win?” he managed to choke out, trying—still trying to smile through the agony. I swallowed the thick lump rising in my throat and brushed a h

I closed the door behind me, careful not to wake Rex. The image of her sleeping face stayed with me. Hearing her breathing finally even out helped relieve the crushing weight on my chest that had pressed down on me all day. She was healing. She was safe. At least for now. I descended the stairs two at a time, headed out to check on the aftermath of her fight. Outside the pack house, Lily and a few others were still putting out flames. They all turned when they saw me, silent questions burning in their eyes. “She’s fine,” I said before they could speak. The relief that softened their expressions said it all. They were worried. They cared. She was already becoming the Luna they needed—strong, brave, and theirs. They’d have questions about her, about what they saw. But those were hers to answer, when she was ready. My eyes landed on Selene. Of course she was here. Always ready to insert herself like she’d spilled blood in battle, when we both knew she hadn’t even broken a swea

The hard, cold floor—that was the first thing I felt the moment I came to.My cheek was pressed against it, the dampness of the earth seeping into my skin.Everything around me pulsed in shades of gray, and behind my eyelids, jagged lightning forked and danced like angry spirits.Where was I?Think, Rex. Breathe first, then think.Air sliced into my lungs, sharp and metallic. Each inhale brought the stench of rot and rust; each exhale burned the back of my throat. I tried to move—only to be met by a cruel resistance.Chains.No, not just chains. Shackles. Both ankles weighed down with iron, cold and cruel.And pain—gods, the pain.A white-hot stab tore through my leg, and I bit down hard on a scream. I looked down. A nail still jutted from my right heel, embedded where they had dragged me like an animal. Blood pooled beneath me. Fresh. Real.This wasn’t a dream. It wasn’t some twisted nightmare.It was happening.My head throbbed with fog, but fragments began to surface.Selene bursti

Aries The air was thick with tension, like it already knew what today was going to bring.I hadn't really slept. I couldn’t. So I just lay there on our bed, grounding myself in her scent. It haunted me. It strengthened me.I could feel the buzz from the pack grounds even before I got up. They were ready—geared up for war. Just the way we needed.I got up and prepped quickly. After all, the party couldn’t start without me.The moment I made it downstairs, I saw the frenzy—warriors sharpening blades, checking gear. No one slacked. This wasn’t just another territorial clash.This was war.War for her.I stepped outside, eyes immediately locking on Julian. He looked exhausted—no doubt the burden of being Beta had multiplied tenfold in a time like this.> “Gather everyone,” I said without breaking stride.Minutes later, I was surrounded by our warriors—pack, rogues, Banished. All ready. All loyal.> “Scouts confirmed movement along the Ghost Road, leading to Ron’s dungeons,” I began, skip
