All Chapters of The Gifted Luna : Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

   The night sky over Dark Moon was unusually quiet, as if the wind itself was holding its breath. Edwin stood at the balcony of the Moonstone Hall, looking down at the torches flickering across the compound. Soldiers rotated shifts. Patrols changed. Life was moving onward. But his mind wasn’t. The finality of what he had done, what he had to do pressed against his shoulders like a mountain. He heard footsteps behind him. Soft. Familiar. Sure. “Edwin,” Tiara called gently. He didn’t turn at first. Her voice alone eased something tight in his chest. She stepped beside him, the moonlight catching in her hair. “You are troubled,” she said. "What is it?"  “A leader always is,

 The war chamber doors slammed shut behind Ralph as he entered, his boots echoing sharply against the stone floor. Edwin stood over the central strategy table, rigid as a statue, hands gripping the map so tightly his knuckles turned white. Dozens of scrolls, old war reports, and new intelligence files were scattered across the table. Bloodfang’s symbol, a black wolf head, stared at them from nearly every parchment. Ralph swallowed hard. He had never seen the Alpha this still. And that stillness was more dangerous than rage. “Edwin,” Ralph said, stepping closer, “you summoned me?” Edwin didn’t look up. He tapped the northern section of the map with two fingers. “We’ve been wrong,” he said quietly. “We&rsqu

The heavy war-table lantern flickered as Edwin and Ralph finalized their infiltration route.The mountain pass loomed on the map like a scar through the world.Ralph was mid-sentence...“If we move under the second moon, we can easily get in and out without having to do too much.”"Or what do you say, Ralph?" "I would suggest that we..." Suddenly the chamber doors flew open with a violent crash.Ralph’s hand went straight to his dagger.Edwin’s head snapped up.Tiara stood at the doorway, breathless, hair windswept, eyes wide with something beyond fear.“Edwin,” she said, voice trembling, “We need to talk. Now.”She didn’t wait for permission, she strode inside, shutting the door behind her with a force that shook the hinges.Edwin moved toward her immediately.“Tiara? What is it? What happened? Are you fine?"Her hands were trembling as she grabbed his arm.“You cannot go,” she whispered urgently."Slow down. I need you to speak slowly so I can grasp whatever it is you are saying,"

 The Dark Moon Pack rarely slept, but tonight felt unnaturally still. A thin sheet of clouds veiled the moon, dimming the courtyard and cloaking the castle grounds in soft darkness. Torches flickered at half-light, unmanned for the first time in years.  Most of the warriors were stationed at the outer gates, following Edwin’s earlier instruction, unknowingly creating the perfect opportunity for their Alpha’s secret departure. Edwin stood at the far end of the courtyard, already dressed in the humble, dusty cloak Ralph had prepared. His wolf insignia had been removed from his chest. His sword, which was a symbol of his rank was carefully replaced with a plain dagger. Only Tiara and Ralph would have recognized the familiar intensity in his eyes. Ralph arrived first, his cloak drawn low over his brow, two travel satchels slung over his shoulder. "What d

 Night settled thickly over the wild forest that bordered Bloodfang territory. The air felt different here. It was heavier, colder, as though the shadows themselves were alive. Edwin, Tiara, and Ralph stopped beneath a massive deadwood tree, its twisted branches forming a natural canopy overhead. “This is far enough for tonight,” Ralph said quietly as he lowered his satchel. “We shouldn’t risk moving closer in the dark. Bloodfang patrols can smell movement better at night.” Edwin nodded. “We rest in shifts. No fire. No sound beyond whispering.” Tiara sat on a root, pulling her cloak tighter. The forest’s temperature dipped sharply — unnaturally — like an invisible wind was passing over her skin. Edwin noticed immediately. "Ti
