All Chapters of THE LUNA OF PROPHECY : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The rogue attacks were getting worse, spreading like wildfire across the borders, leaving blood and ash behind. Patrols came back broken and wounded, and some didn’t come back at all. With every loss, I could see the weight pressing heavier on Elliot’s shoulders. The council of elders pushed him harder at every meeting, their voices sharp, their patience running out. They demanded answers, demanded strength, demanded he do what was needed to save the packs. In the end, his resistance broke. He gave in. A date was fixed for his wedding to Ariana. The council called it “a bond of survival.” To me, it looked like a chain tightening around his throat.Ariana was glowing with triumph. She didn’t even need her love potion to tie Elliot down, she had won. She showed off her happiness to everyone, basking in the praise and attention of the court. I hated it. I hated the way her laugh rang through the halls, the way she clung to Elliot’s arm like she already owned him.But what could I do? I h

I couldn’t move. My breath caught somewhere in my throat, trapped between disbelief and fear.Ariana’s smile was soft, too soft to be kind. “You look shocked,” she said, turning fully toward me. Her wedding gown shimmered like frost, each jewel catching the morning light. “But if I wasn’t sure before, I’m sure now.”My heart thudded painfully. “What… what do you mean?” I managed to say.She folded her arms, eyes sharp with amusement. “I saw Elliot last night. Coming out of the glass house. And then, a few minutes later, you came out too.” Her voice turned cold. “Both of you looked upset. Tell me, Liora, how long has this been going on?”I stumbled back, shaking my head. “No... it’s not what you think.”“Oh, really?” she tilted her head, her smile widening. “What is it then? You bitch! You had the nerve to live under the same roof as me all this time. I must have been blind not to notice. I always knew there was something strange about you.” Her gaze swept over me. “But I thought Ellio

After the wedding, Elliot and Ariana went away for their honeymoon.I was still in mourning, but deep down, I felt it, he hadn’t marked her, he hadn’t even mated with her. A small, foolish part of me kept hoping that maybe he still wanted to keep our bond untouched. I couldn’t stop thinking about it.The days dragged on slowly. With Elliot and Ariana gone, there wasn’t much to do, so I buried myself in work and silence.But everything changed on the first full moon after their wedding.It was the night of the moon ritual. I was with Sienna, Travis, and Xavier, laughing quietly under the lanterns when I felt it , a sudden sharp ache in my chest. The moon hung over the woods, huge and merciless, spilling its light like silver fire. I had dreaded this night, but I never imagined the pain would come like that.It spread fast, from my chest to my bones, burning, twisting, breaking me from the inside. I stumbled into the woods, clutching my ribs, gasping for breath. The farther I ran, the

Xavier tried to change the topic, brushing off my questions with a quiet laugh.“That’s enough training for today,” he said, handing me a towel. “You need rest.”I took it, wiping the sweat from my neck, but I couldn’t stop staring at him. “You’re stronger than any wolf I’ve ever seen,” I said quietly. “And you heal too fast, Xavier. That’s not normal.”He gave a half-smile and turned away, pretending to tidy the training mats. “I just train harder than most. Push myself beyond my limits.”“No,” I said, stepping closer, my tone firmer this time. “It’s not just training. I saw your wound close right in front of me. That doesn’t happen with ordinary healing.”He paused, then shrugged lightly, his expression unreadable. “Don’t think too much about it, Liora. That’s just how I am. My pack’s always been… stronger.”That caught my attention. “What’s the name of your pack?” I asked.He turned, his silver eyes glinting faintly under the dim light. “Do you really want to know?”“Yes,” I said s

I was in Ariana’s room, on my hands and knees, mopping the marble floor until my wrists ached. She had insisted I clean that way, said it made the floor “shine better.” I knew it was just her way of punishing me. Ever since she found out about the debt, she’d been making my life miserable, reminding me at every chance that I had to “work twice as hard” to earn my keep.The scent of her perfume filled the room, sweet, heavy, suffocating, as I scrubbed the floor in silence, trying not to think.Then the door opened.“Elliot!” Ariana’s voice lifted instantly, bright and sugary.I froze, my head down, my hands stilling for a moment in the soapy water.He stepped into the room, and for a second, there was silence. I felt his gaze before I looked up. His eyes lingered on me, surprise flickering there, then something else, before he turned to Ariana.“Get ready,” he said curtly. “There’s a meeting with the Council of Elders. The Moon High Priest will be there too.”Ariana blinked, still loun
