All Chapters of The Cursed Luna's Return : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Echoes That Refuse to DieThe forest was eerily silent.Not the serene kind of silence—the type that seeps under your skin, murmuring warnings that elude your comprehension. Aria sensed it before she even became aware that she was holding her breath. The Moonstone Lake lay before her, shimmering and smooth, undisturbed by wind or ripple, as if the world itself feared to disrupt whatever lurked beneath.Kai stood next to her, his posture tense, his gaze locked on the water. “Something has changed,” he whispered. “The instant we crossed the ridge. Did you sense it?”Aria nodded slowly. “It feels like… a heartbeat. But it’s not mine.”Kai did not question her. Not anymore. Not after all they had endured, lost, and survived.Behind them, the warriors established a loose perimeter—vigilant, restless, unable to shake off the oppressive weight in the air. They were far from Blackthorn territory, yet the curse knew no boundaries, no compassion, no limits. It trailed them like an echo that wou

The Chains That Would Not BreakThe moon had just begun to rise above the treetops when the stillness was abruptly disrupted.A deep, rumbling growl reverberated across the training grounds—ancient and powerful enough to send a shudder through the earth beneath Aria’s feet. Every warrior in the clearing turned their heads toward the sound, their hands instinctively reaching for their weapons, even though they understood their futility.Aria felt her heart constrict painfully.Damian.However, this was not the Damian she recognized—steady, dominant, and composed.This was the beast that had been clawing at the recesses of his mind for days, demanding more, pushing harder, growing increasingly restless with each hour that passed.“Stay back,” Aria cautioned, raising her hand as two warriors advanced. “He’s fighting it. Don’t exacerbate the situation.”But their eyes were wide with terror. The Alpha did not growl like that unless something within him was fracturing.Damian stood at the f

Shadows That Refuse to DieThe camp was eerily quiet.Not the serene kind of quiet—this one felt shaped by fear. Even the wind appeared anxious, brushing against the treetops as if it feared being noticed. Luna stood at the heart of it all, her breath shallow as the burden of the past few hours weighed heavily on her chest. She could feel every heartbeat, every reverberation of the chaos still bubbling beneath the surface.Her mate stood behind her—tense, vigilant, and exuding barely contained rage. Adrian’s wolf was perilously close to losing control.The message relayed by the wounded scout replayed in Luna’s mind: “They breached our barrier… and they took two of our own.”Two pack warriors—lost.Not slain.Abducted.That informed her of everything she needed to understand. The enemy was not finished. They sought leverage, fear, and disorder.And they were achieving all three.Luna swallowed hard. “Show me where the breach occurred.”Adrian immediately stepped beside her. “I’m accom

The Edge of a Shattered VowThe forest felt unsettling this evening.Not perilous—unsettling.As if the very air was holding its breath, anticipating something to snap.Aria felt it the instant she crossed the tree line. The wind, which typically whispered like a confidant, now swirled in jagged gusts, brushing against her cheek as if to caution her to retreat. Yet she could not. Not this evening. Not when the truth was so near she could almost sense it throbbing beneath her skin.Behind her, Kade trailed quietly. He did not inquire why she had insisted on venturing out here. He did not question why her gaze kept wandering to the shadows, or why her wolf paced restlessly within her chest. He merely remained close—solid, warm, and steady—as if protecting her without the need for words.That alone was sufficient to make her heart constrict.“I have an aversion to this place,” Kade finally murmured. “The scent patterns are unusual. It’s as if someone has been circling this area all day.”

The Echo of a ChoiceThe moon sat low above the broken courtyard. Its silver light poured over the stones like a quiet alert. The wind had stopped. It carried the heavy feel of choices that could never change. No one spoke for a long time. The fight had worn them all out. But the true clash was just starting.Aria stood in the middle. Her breaths came fast. Her heart pounded in her ears. Her wolf paced inside her. It felt dangerous. It felt true. It felt betrayal. The faint glow in her hands had faded. A cold numbness filled her chest.Kael faced her. His body was stiff. His shoulders were tight. His gold eyes flashed with guilt and challenge. His power hummed around him. It was held back but strong, like a storm ready to burst."You knew," Aria whispered. Her voice shook with shock. "You knew right from the start... didn't you?"Kael clenched his jaw. A muscle jumped in his cheek. He stayed still. "Aria—""No." She held up a hand to stop him. "Don't make it gentle. Give me the truth.
