Semua Bab The Cursed Luna's Return : Bab 191 - Bab 200

The Luna Who Stood in the StormThe night felt unusually heavy—too still, too silent, too expectant. Aria sensed it the instant she stepped out onto the balcony of the Moonstone Fortress. The wind caressed her cheeks, cool and sharp, carrying with it the faintest hint of something she had learned to fear, then despise, and ultimately rise above.Blood.Her fingers tightened around the railing.Behind her, Rowan emerged from the shadows, his restless energy buzzing beneath his skin. "You feel it too," he murmured.She did not turn. "You should have informed me sooner."Rowan exhaled slowly, the sound tight, almost pained. "I did not conceal the truth out of malice, Aria. I concealed it because… I am uncertain who the threat is anymore. The rogues. The temple. The council. The shadows moving through our lands. Or the prophecy itself."Aria finally turned to confront him."You are afraid," she stated—softly, not mockingly.His jaw tightened. "I fear losing my pack. Losing control." A pau

The Truth the Shadows Tried to ConcealThe earlier storm had subsided, yet its reverberations still resonated within the halls of the Blackthorn Fortress. The scent of moist stone and burning torches filled the air, accompanied by a disquieting silence that trailed Aria wherever she went. It was a silence that hinted at secrets—secrets that someone was desperately attempting to suppress.Aria moved with urgency, her footsteps reverberating as she descended the staircase leading to the ancient council wing. She was aware that Rowan would be in pursuit; he always was. However, today, she had no intention of pausing for him. Not when the pieces of the puzzle were finally starting to fit together.Her heart raced with a blend of anger, fear, and a sharper sensation—intuition. Something about the attack from the previous night felt off. Rogues did not operate with such precision. They did not disappear without leaving traces. And they certainly did not act in unison, as if following a comm

The Alpha Who Finally BreaksThe silence that ensued after Rowan’s declaration was unlike any Aria had ever experienced. It was neither tense nor hostile. Instead, it was heavy—similar to the atmosphere before a storm, just before the sky opened up and released everything it had been holding back.Aria stood in front of him, her breaths sharp, her pulse still racing from the emotional turmoil they had just endured. Rowan’s confession—"I can’t lose you"—continued to resonate within her, refusing to diminish, refusing to be overlooked.Her chest constricted. He was an Alpha who had never submitted to anyone, never revealed his vulnerabilities, never allowed his emotions to surface where others could witness them. Yet here he was—unmasked… exposed… vulnerable.And it frightened her.Not because of him.But because of the feelings it stirred within her.Aria swallowed hard, striving to steady her voice. "Rowan… you cannot make statements like that without clarifying their meaning."His ja

The Moment the Sky Held Its BreathThe storm had yet to unleash its fury, yet the atmosphere above the Silvercrest border felt so charged it could explode at any moment. Dark, heavy clouds twisted in violent spirals, as if the heavens themselves were pausing—waiting to determine whether the world below would collapse or rise anew.Aria was the first to sense it.A ripple.A shift.A tremor in the very threads that connected her wolf, her abilities, her fate.She halted mid-step.Rowan, who had been pacing alongside her, immediately stopped."Aria?"His voice remained calm, but his wolf stirred restlessly beneath his skin, alert and anxious.Her heart thudded once—forcefully.Then again, quicker.The sensation struck her chest like a silent clap of thunder.Not pain.Not peril.Something more profound."Aria, please speak to me." Rowan moved closer, his hand hovering near her back without making contact—he had learned that she perceived too much now, more than mere touch could stabiliz

The Memory That Should Never Have Been BuriedThe world tore apart like a veil being ripped away.Aria gasped as she lurched forward, her feet no longer resting on the cold stone floor of the Moon Hall. Instead, she found herself in a vast expanse of silver mist, warm and luminous, as if she had entered the very breath of the moon. The air vibrated—soft yet potent—like a thousand hushed voices calling her name."Do not be afraid," Selene’s voice resonated behind her, though the woman herself was nowhere in sight. "What you perceive are the memories concealed from you. You are within the truth."Aria’s heartbeat pounded painfully. "Reveal it to me," she whispered. "All of it."The mist began to swirl.Then it shaped into scenes—clear as daylight.---A modest house appeared first. Simple. Inviting. Lanterns glimmering gently through the windows. Snow drifted softly from the sky, settling on its roof.Aria’s breath caught in her throat.She recognized that house."This… this was my home
