Star-Crossed Wolves: Silver Moon Rising의 모든 챕터: 챕터 151 - 챕터 158

POV: Ronan MontagueI arrived at Moonrise Academy at 8:47 PM, right as the blood moon hit totality.The motorcycle ride from my exile location had taken six hours of pushing speed limits and ignoring every instinct that screamed this was a terrible idea. But Juliana's message had been clear: her parents were forcing the arranged mating ceremony tonight. During the blood moon. When her wolf would be too overwhelmed to resist the ritual bonding.They were counting on the lunar event to override her connection to me. To make her accept Lorenzo Escalus as her mate because supernatural pressure made resistance impossible.Not if I got there first.Campus was in lockdown. Security patrolling every entrance, wards humming with power meant to keep everyone inside. But I'd grown up learning how to bypass pack security. My father had trained me to infiltrate enemy territory since I was twelve.I left the bike hidden in the forest and approached on foot, letting my wolf guide me through blind sp

POV: Juliana CapuletThe world went soft at the edges.I could feel Ronan's arms around me, hear his voice begging me to stay, but everything felt distant like I was underwater. The silver blade had cut deep, poison spreading through my bloodstream faster than my wolf could heal.I was dying. I'd known it the moment the blade connected. Known that throwing myself in front of it would cost everything.But Ronan was alive. That made it worth it.Through the fading mate bond, I felt his anguish. His grief was so overwhelming it threatened to drag me under before death could. He thought he'd failed to protect me. Thought this was his fault for coming back to rescue me.He was wrong. This was my choice. My sacrifice. My way of proving that love mattered more than survival."Jules, stay with me." His voice cracked. "Please don't leave me."I wanted to tell him it was okay. That dying to save him wasn't tragedy, it was the only ending that made sense. But words wouldn't come. My throat was f

POV: Otto MoorlandI woke up in the medical wing with no memory of how I'd gotten there.My body ached from injuries I couldn't recall receiving. Bandages covered my arms and chest, and the antiseptic smell mixed with something darker that made my wolf whimper with distress."You're awake." Nurse Quickly appeared beside my bed, relief evident on her face. "How are you feeling?""Confused. What happened?""You don't remember the old library? The blood moon?"Fragments came back slowly. The meeting request from Emilia. Arriving at the basement. Fighting with Cassio while the building collapsed around us. Then nothing but red haze and instincts I couldn't control."Did I hurt someone?" My voice came out hoarse, afraid of the answer."You hurt several people. Cassio is in surgery. Two security guards have broken bones. You nearly killed Desi trying to get to someone you thought was threatening her."The words hit like physical blows. I'd attacked Desi. The person I loved most in the world

POV: Desi WhitmoreI got Emilia's panicked text at 3 PM: Otto found Ian. Things going bad. Location attached. Need help NOW.My hands shook as I read the coordinates. Two hours north of campus. Two hours of Otto confronting the person who'd manipulated him while still unstable from the blood moon.This was going to end badly. I could feel it in my bones."I need a car," I told Cassio, who was recovering in his dorm room. "Otto's in trouble and I'm the only one who might be able to talk him down.""You mean Otto, the guy who almost killed me last night?" He sat up despite visible pain. "Desi, maybe let the authorities handle this one.""The authorities don't understand what Ian did to him. They'll treat Otto like a criminal instead of someone who was systematically manipulated into violence.""He is a criminal. He attacked multiple people during the blood moon.""Because Ian calculated exactly what it would take to break him. Timed everything for maximum psychological damage during th
