All Chapters of Runaway Luna Rider: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Darius’s POV The moment Kiera vanished through the portal, something inside me snapped. I didn’t think. Didn’t plan. Just acted on pure instinct and desperation. My hands clawed at the empty air where she’d disappeared, reaching for the dimensional wound the Broker had torn open. Alpha power flooded through me, more than I’d ever channeled before, trying to force reality to obey my will. “Darius, stop!” Thomas grabbed my arm. “You’ll kill yourself…” I shook him off violently. “I don’t care.” “You should care. Eli needs you. The pack…” “Needs their Luna!” I snarled, my wolf rising to the surface. “I’m not leaving her in there alone with that thing.” Blood ran from my nose, using this much power was damaging my body from the inside. I could feel it, the strain of trying to do something that shouldn’t be possible. But I kept pushing, kept tearing at the fabric between dimensions. “Get the witch,” I barked at Thomas. “Get anyone who knows magic. Now!” Thomas ran. I kept channe

Darius’s POV The Broker’s final assault hit our shield like a collapsing star.I felt the impact through every nerve in my body. The mate bond burned white-hot as I poured everything I had into maintaining our stand. Beside me, Kiera channeled the artifact’s power with trembling hands. Between us, Eli stood with his eyes closed, his young wolf lending strength he shouldn’t even possess yet.The shield buckled.For a terrible moment, I thought it would shatter. Thought we’d come this far only to fail at the last second, and I’d watch Kiera and Eli die because I hadn’t been strong enough to protect them.But then I felt it… Magnus adding his power to ours from outside the shield. Thomas breaking through from the real world somehow, his beta strength joining the mix. Zeus and his grandmother, Jack and the Steel Vultures, even pack members I barely knew… all of them channeling support through bonds.We weren’t alone. We’d never been alone.The shield stopped buckling and started pushing

Darius’s POV Weeks after the Broker’s trials, life almost felt normal again.Eli’s training had become more intensive after his premature wolf awakening. Thomas worked with him daily, teaching him control he shouldn’t need for years yet. My son handled it better than I’d expected, treating his early shift as an adventure rather than a burden.“Watch this, Papa!” he called one morning, demonstrating a partial transformation he’d mastered. His hands shifted to claws without the rest of his body following. “Thomas says I’m the youngest wolf ever to do controlled partials!”“Very impressive.” I ruffled his hair when he shifted back. “But don’t push too hard. Your body is still adjusting.”“I know. Thomas tells me that about fifty times a day.”Dr. Charles had cleared Margaret completely, declaring her a healthy infant despite her complicated start. She babbled and grabbed at anything within reach and stared at the world with those gold eyes that marked her as mine.Kiera spent hours with

Kiera’s POV “Evacuate!” Darius’s alpha command echoed across the territory. “Everyone to underground shelters. Now!”Chaos erupted. Pack members scattered, parents grabbing children, elders helping each other toward the reinforced bunkers we’d built for emergencies. Warriors formed defensive lines despite having no idea how to fight something that existed partially outside reality.The Voidborn observed this all with what might have been curiosity. It didn’t pursue the fleeing pack members. Just stood there, existing in that wrong way that made my eyes refuse to focus properly.Thomas organized the warriors into formations, weapons drawn. “Aim for center mass. Fire on my command.”“Wait…” I started, but it was too late.Thomas gave the signal. Arrows and spears flew toward the Voidborn, followed by several wolves shifting mid-leap to attack in their more powerful forms.The projectiles passed through the Voidborn like it wasn’t there. The wolves’ claws and teeth found no purchase, th

Darius’s POV The moment the first Voidborn collapsed, I felt myself slam back into reality.It was like being punched in the chest by existence itself. One second I was flickering between being and not-being, caught in that horrible suspended state. The next, I was solid… fully present, real, and alive.I gasped, my lungs remembering how to breathe. My hands were shaking. My entire body felt wrong, like I’d been disassembled and put back together slightly incorrectly.But I was here. I was real.And Kiera was facing two Voidborn alone.I tried to move toward her, but my legs wouldn’t obey. The partial erasure had done something to my body… not permanent damage, but my muscles weren’t responding properly yet.“Kiera!” I called, my voice rough.She couldn’t look at me. The blade in her hands was already flickering, its light dimming as the artifact’s transferred power drained away. She had seconds at most before it failed completely.The two Voidborn circled her from opposite sides, th
