Luna's Dark Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

JENNY~The rain has not stopped since the Alpha’s war drum sounded.Rivermist lay hushed under the cloudy skies. Its corridors empty and hearths cold. I walked the halls as if the silence might swallow me. It was as if I could still hear the echo of the boots that marched out before dawn.Every step I took brought a strange weight, a pulse I couldn’t name. It wasn’t exactly fear that I feel, it was absence. The rhythm of the pack’s heartbeat has changed, and I can feel it in my own chest.Lucia’s laughter should have filled these walls. Instead, I was met with silence, and of course the patter of rain.I have been trying to reach her since the moment the scouts returned with their grim whispers. My phone lay heavy in my pocket, screen dark from pointless calls and messages that vanished into the void.“Come on, Lucia,” I muttered to the empty air, my voice a ragged thread in the quiet. “Pick up. Just once. Tell me you’re too busy plotting revenge to answer, or fighting off some rogue,

Killian~The rainstorm had finally come home. It snuck over the mountains in veins of white fire, thunder rolling down the slopes like a living thing. Every flash illuminated the wards carved into the cliff face, and for an instant the whole fortress seemed to breathe.I stood on the balcony, rain sliding down my face, watching the valley burn red where the outer circle had opened. Julius had crossed the border. Right on schedule. Just as I had planned.Rael joined me, his cloak whipping in the wind. “The scouts confirm the breach. He’s inside the ward.”“Good.” My voice came quiet, almost reverent. “It’s been a long time since the goddess gave me an audience.”Lightning revealed his expression, uncertain, maybe afraid. “If he reaches the citadel…”“He won’t.” I turned from the edge and walked toward the inner stairs. “But he needs to think he will. Hope makes the fall more wonderful.”The corridor spiraled downward. The walls were alive with runes that pulsed in rhythm with my pulse.

JULIUS~The world was still burning when I came through the ward.Ash and rain mixed into mud that sucked at my boots. The convoy was scattered behind me, some buried under the valley’s collapse. Some vehicles overturned, with wolves crawling out from the twisted metals. Only the smell of iron and ozone remained, sharp enough to sting my throat. Lightning still sparked above the crater where Shadowfang’s gate had stood.“Lucia!”The shout vanished into the storm.The bond answered instead, raw, wild, half-alive. Gold and crimson threads tangled across my mind, pulling me forward and then snapping away. I staggered to my knees, gripping the ruined earth. Every nerve screamed her name, but the wind carried nothing back.Axel climbed from the wreckage of a truck, one arm hanging limp. “You shouldn’t be standing, Alpha. That blast…”“She’s not gone.” My voice came low, certain. “I can still feel her.”He followed my gaze to the crater. “If she’s in there…”“She isn’t.” I stared at the sto

LUCIA~Dawn seeped through the trees, pale and cold. Smoke still drifted above the valley, curling through the mist like ghosts that refused to rest. I sat at the same spot I had been all night. I was bare-foot, my damp hair is plastered to my neck, and my heart is beating in a rhythm that wasn’t mine alone.The echo of the ancient howl lingered inside my ribs, patient and steady. Each breath carried a whisper of power waiting to move. The forest no longer frightened me, yet every leaf seemed to listen.Jenny pushed through the leaves, mud-streaked and shivering. “You didn’t sleep,” she said.I shook my head. “Every time I close my eyes, I hear them.”Jenny crouched beside me, scanning my face. “You look human again.”“I’m trying to be.”We started walking north. The ground squelched under our feet, soaked wet with water. The air smelled of wet bark and smoke. For a while neither of us spoke. When we reached the riverbank, I stopped, knelt down and touched the water. It vibrated benea

KILLIAN~The air still smelled of smoke, and as I crossed the upper hall of my packhouse, stone cracked under my boots. It’s been three days since the storm ripped through the valley, and the walls still hummed with what it had left behind. The kind of power that claws through bone before it settles.My betas hovered at the edges, eyes downcast, waiting for the rage that never came.I should have raged, but rage was waste. Julius lived, of course he did. He always survived the wreckage I built for him. And she…A tremor rippled through the bond before I even finished the thought, soft as a heartbeat under .glass.Lucia.Rael approached first, his limp pronounced, voice low."Alpha, the eastern wing's collapsed. Labs are buried under rubble, your alchemical stores, the serum vats. We pulled what we could, but..."I turned to him, my expression rigid. "It wasn't failure, Rael. It was evolution."The words hung there, sharp as a blade. I could feel the unease spread through the pack like
