All Chapters of Claiming his Runaway Luna: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Whispers in the BloodLucian crouched next to the body, his mouth stiff. His hands hovered above the wound but didn't touch it. "This wasn't an accident." This was a sign.I swallowed hard, and my gut told me to. I said, "It's Damien," and my voice was harsher than I meant it to be.Lucian's golden eyes looked at mine. "We don't know that.""Yes, we do." I moved closer, not caring that the other council members were looking at me with suspicion. "His magic... it's changing," I can feel it.There were murmurs all across the room. Someone said under their breath, "It's her hybrid blood, isn't it?" Drawing difficulty here.Their skepticism hurt, but I didn't move. Instead, I squatted down next to Lucian. "I need to see the body." By itself.We later put Rael's body on a wooden table in the healer's wing, where Serena's lamp cast a weak light.Serena spoke softly. "You know that if anyone finds out we're doing this without the council's permission, we're done.""I don't care," I muttered,

Eclipse CountdownMy stomach turned. "Don't, Serena.""Elara, you've spent your whole life ignoring what your mother told you." But I was there when she departed. She instructed me to tell you this if the Blood Eclipse ever arrived early.I swallowed hard, and the picture of my mother's face came to me. "What did she say?"Serena moved closer and spoke in a low, desperate voice. "She continued, "Your blood will be the lock or the key." You will set him free if you pick wrong.The words hurt me like a knife. "You think she meant Damien?"Serena responded, "I don't think." "I know."A few minutes later, we were in the war room. The flickering candles made the maps on the table appear like they were crawling with black veins."I need to know everything," I yelled, banging my hands on the table. "Start with my mom."Serena thought about it. "Elara, your mother and Damien fought together once."The words hurt me more than any punch. "That's not possible." She hated him. She"She saved him,

The Unseen WarAaron said, "Stay back," and his gaze went to my hands."No," I responded in a hushed voice. "I'm done holding back."The first soldier came down in front of us with his sword lifted. I seized the sword in the middle of its stroke, and my power made the metal glow. I threw the soldier into the wall with a twist, and the stone cracked beneath the force.Aaron spun around and killed two more assailants, but the enemy continued coming, quickly and without stopping."They're not just trying to get in," Aaron said between clenched teeth. "They're trying to get you to talk.""Then let them."I put both hands up. Magic blasted through the air in a wave of black and gold fire that killed the closest dozen adversaries. Some people yelled. Some didn't.After the smoke cleared, there was a moment of stillness before the following round of attackers moved forward. And I froze amid them.The man in front didn't have the same shadow armor on. His eyes had the same incredible silver

Chains of Choice"Your blood will show you the way." But be careful; it will also depict the end.My fingers shook as I stabbed my palm with her blade. My blood hit the water and curled like smoke before spreading out in furious, twisting shapes.The water cleared, and the vision hit me like a knife in the chest.I saw the red moon hanging low, and the ground shook under our boots. Lucian appeared in front of me with eyes that glowed with a wild brilliance I'd never seen before. He snarled as he spoke."You were never meant to live, Elara."Then he had his hands around my throat. My own magic hitting him but not working. My blood soaked the ground.The vision broke.I tripped back, breathing hard. "No." That can't happen.The voice of the seer seemed almost sad. "The seal Damien wants isn't the only one. He will have to choose. And his choice will kill you.I stepped back. "You are lying."Seer: "You came for the truth." Truth isn't often nice.As I ran away from the lair, her words s

Fire in the Veins"Where's Aaron?" I said.Serena's lips got tighter. "That's why I came." Scouts detected footprints that led to the ancient Blood Altar.Elara stopped moving. "That altar is""Part of your bloodline," Serena said with a frown. "Damien picked it for a reason." The earth shook beneath our feet. At first, I believed it was because I was sick, but then a scout came into the tent and gasped."Sir, Damien has already begun!""I can't believe that," I said angrily. "The eclipse hasn't""Look," the scout replied, pointing outdoors.We ran outside.The moon hung too low over the horizon, and shadows twisted around it like black smoke. And the mountain where the Blood Altar stood, far away in the horizon, was shining. Not simply glowing; it was pulsating like a heart.Elara took my arm. "He's making the eclipse happen early.""How?" Serena said in a whisper.Elara murmured, "My blood," in a voice full of fear. "He's using Aaron to get me there... to finish what he started yea
