All Chapters of Lunaborn at Moonridge Academy : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Elara's PovI shouldn't have stepped out that evening. I reassured myself that all I needed was some fresh air. The dorm was excessively noisy, Lila was twirling about as if she'd struck it rich, video-calling her best friend while experimenting with sparkly eyeshadow. “Are you certain you don’t want to join me?” she inquired, partially outside the door wearing a silver jacket. “It’s film night.” “Popcorn, observing others… maybe poor choices.” “I'm fine,” I replied, pulling my hoodie closer. "Simply need silence." "Do as you wish." She sent me a kiss before disappearing into the corridor. Once the door closed, silence enveloped the room like a thick, warm blanket. Yet even that was insufficient. Something within me vibrated—uneasy, charged. My legs acted on their own before I could halt them, leading me down the corridor, through the side door, and into the darkness. The air felt refreshing on my skin, the sky darkened with stars. I strolled until the campus lights dimmed and

Elara's POVI didn’t want to go to the History of Supernaturals. Honestly, I would’ve rather chewed glass. But it was mandatory for all first-year students, and Lila had already threatened to drag me if I bailed.“Come on”, she said, linking arms with me as we walked through the ivy-covered halls. “It’s Professor Thorne. People say he used to hunt rogue shifters, like track and trap them.”“That’s comforting,” I muttered. “Let’s put the ex-hunter in charge of the kids.”“He’s ancient and weird. That makes him perfect for teaching supernatural history,” she said cheerfully. “Also, rumor is he’s half-fae explains the whole ‘tall-dark-and-unsettling’ aesthetic.”She wasn’t wrong. The second we stepped into the classroom, the air felt heavier, the lights were dim. The windows were open, but the breeze didn’t feel like wind—it felt like breath. Watching.Professor Thorne stood at the front, all long limbs and sharper-than-human features. His eyes flicked over the class, landing on me for

LILA POV “What are you trying to say, Mom?” Elara screamed. “Noooooooo!” her scream sliced the air, more throaty and deep. My heart started thudding. I woke up in a panic. I glanced at Elara’s bed. She wiggled her arms under the covers and her forehead was dotted with beads of sweat and she trapped tufts of hair in her cheeks. “Elara!” I called, my voice hoarse. She didn’t move. She reached for the air with both hands as if she was pushing something away. “No… please… don’t…” she panted breathlessly. “Was she dreaming? I rubbed my eyes to shake away sleep but Elara’s wide-eyed panicked face snapped me fully awake. “Elara, wake up!” I reached across and grabbed her shoulder. I shook her a little. “It’s a dream. You’re safe. Wake up!” I told Elara to wake up and I exhaled and flopped back in my bed. I was almost swallowed by blackness as my eyelids felt heavy. I was half asleep again when I heard Elara screaming. Her screams were more desperate and urgent than the previous on

SERAPHINE POV“Why not, Seraphine?” Veronica’s voice sliced through my panic. “Would you just stand there and watch your Alpha get taken by someone else?”Something primal inside of me awoke. Wild, hot, and furious. I processed what happened too late because my legs propelled me across the courtyard and into the trees.Under the weight of my heavy steps my boots snapped loudly while crunching the ground beneath me. My focus remained solely on the gap where Kael and Elara once stood as everything else faded away.My labored breaths left me panting as I observed my environment upon arrival. Elara remained where she stood after Kael escaped but she approached me with her back facing me.Anger exploded within me. Wildfire. Fury. The bitch, I thought, the words reverberating through every nerve in my body. With no hesitation, I charged forward, yanking her wrist up into my grasp.“Hey—what’s that?” Elara said, jerking her wrist away.“What’s that, baby?” I sneered, narrowing my eyes. “You

Elara’s POV“Oh, never mind, Elara,” Lila said suddenly, waving her hand in the air. She seemed to be shooing something away. Her voice was high pitched and forced. I narrowed my eyes on her. “Don’t do that, Lila. It’s only making things worse. Now just tell me what is going on?”She raised both her hands before answering and seemed to be bowing to a foe. “Tarahhhhhh!” she screamed, her voice echoing in the dorm.I jumped and stared at her, my heart skipping. “What the fuck is wrong with you? !” I shouted, frustrated but also worried. She laughed, her eyes creasing in delight. “Oh, never mind! I just wanted to make you emotional!” she teased and then she leaned in towards me and kissed me on the cheek before she skipped off like a mischievous fox.“Lila! Stop it!” I yelled after her, but I also laughed, despite being annoyed. She ran to her side of the dorm, humming to herself, like she had done something utterly innocent.I shook my head and pushed myself off the bed to stretch. “Y
