All Chapters of Luna's Calling: Marked Through Trials: Chapter 91 - Chapter 95

ErsaA few days of desperately needed peace had settled over the mansion, a fragile silence after the Second Trial. That silence was shattered when the Alpha called us in for a formal announcement.“Have you had a proper rest?” Alpha Sano asked, his tone surprisingly gentle, and both Eve and I managed a quick, synchronized nod. “I would like to personally congratulate the two of you for successfully reaching the Final Trial.”“Thank you, Alpha,” Eve replied smoothly, offering a precise, practiced bow.“I would also like to introduce one of the two Prefects for the Wolf’s Heart—Elder Lumos Valenhart.” He glanced around the living room, noting the elder's absence.Then, the door was thrown open with a startling force. The blind-looking man, the same one I’d seen merely observing, and not questioning during the Wolf’s Eye, strode in.“Greetings, ladies,” he announced in a slow, deliberate tone that seemed to draw all the air from the room. “As you have been apprised, I am Lumos Valenhart

The Final Trial was clearly pushing her past her limit, and desperation was setting in. The image of the friendship we once shared was becoming blurrier and blurrier each day, and I couldn't shake the heavy feeling that perhaps the entire collapse was somehow my fault.I heaved a sigh of frustration, trying to focus on the Elder’s instructions. “To attain genuine peace is to achieve a state of reconciliation with your absolute, essential self.
