Lahat ng Kabanata ng The DYING LUNA’S SECOND CHANCE: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Lycan’s POV“Magnus,” she whispered. “He wasn’t alone.”The corridor behind us still echoed with the aftermath of battle.Wounded warriors moved through the lower halls while guards dragged bodies away from the shattered barricades. Somewhere above us, orders continued moving across Ironfang’s defenses.But I barely heard any of it.Because Kaelira looked shaken for the first time since the attack began.Not weak.Never weak.But disturbed enough that the sight settled heavily inside me.I tightened my grip slightly around her arm. “What did you see?”Her breathing remained uneven for another second before she finally looked at me properly.“The massacre.”My jaw hardened immediately. She swallowed once.“Magnus was there.”The words should not have surprised me anymore. Not after everything we’d uncovered and yet rage still moved through my chest fast enough to burn.“Who else?” I asked quietly.Her expression shifted.“Seraphine’s mother.”Gods.For a second the sounds around us di

Darius POVThe council chamber was louder than usual. Not openly chaotic.Worse and full of controlled tension. The kind that sat beneath every conversation and turned even silence into pressure.I stood near the western side of the chamber while the elders argued quietly among themselves about border reinforcements, outside alliances, and the second attack wave still gathering beyond Ironfang’s territory lines.But nobody truly controlled the room anymore.Not even me.And gods.I noticed it immediately when Kaelira walked in. The chamber shifted.Subtle.Instant.Conversations lowered instead of rising. Eyes turned toward her automatically. Not because she demanded attention. Because people expected something from her now.Trust.Direction.Stability.The realization settled heavily in my chest while she crossed the chamber beside the Lycan Commander.Together.Always together lately.Not touching.Not openly intimate.But the distance between them had disappeared completely.Even

Kaelira’s POV“Kaelira’s power is the real curse on this pack,” Seraphine said coldly. “And I will prove it.”The council chamber erupted immediately.“That’s enough!”“You’re out of control!”“What exactly are you accusing her of?”Voices collided across the room while several elders rose from their seats at once.But I didn’t move. Didn’t react.Seraphine watched me carefully from the center of the chamber like she wanted anger.Anything emotional enough to fracture the control I’d spent months rebuilding.She wouldn’t get it.The Lycan stood beside me silently.Steady.His presence grounded the room more than most people realized.Darius remained near the western council table holding the old records we’d uncovered beneath the archives. His expression had gone darker since Seraphine entered.Good.Let him finally see her clearly.Seraphine turned slowly toward the elders.“You’re all pretending her power is a blessing because it saved you during battle,” she continued. “But unstabl

Kaelira’s POV“KAELIRA!”The warning came at the same moment the attacker reached me. Everything happened fast. Too fast for most of the council to follow. One second, elders were shouting across the chamber.The next, an outsider assassin was airborne with a blade aimed directly at my throat. But panic never came.Not this time. Months ago, I would have frozen for half a heartbeat.I doubted myself.Now?I moved. The Crescent power answered instantly. Silver light surged beneath my skin. Not wild. Not unstable.The assassin’s blade came down..A pulse exploded from my palm. The force slammed into him midair. His body flew backward. The blade shattered against the chamber floor. Gasps erupted around me.The attacker crashed into one of the council pillars hard enough to crack stone. Before he could rise, the Lycan Commander was already there.A blur.A growl.Steel flashed.The assassin never got a second chance.The chamber erupted.“Protect the council!”“Seal the doors!”“Get Seraph

Lycan’s POV“Do it now.”The words had barely left Seraphine’s mouth before the chamber exploded. Steel flashed.A council guard drove a blade toward Elder Marrow. Laura intercepted him first.The crack of breaking bone echoed across the room. The traitor hit the floor hard. Three more warriors attacked immediately.Not outsiders. Ironfang wolves.They had been standing among us the entire time.“TRAITORS!” Lucian roared.Chaos erupted. Council members scrambled away from the central floor. Guards rushed toward the elders.The sound of steel striking steel filled the chamber. And through all of it my eyes found Kaelira.She had already moved of course.One of Seraphine’s loyalists lunged toward her from the western side of the chamber. The fool never got close. Silver light burst from Kaelira’s hand.The force threw him across the room. His body smashed into a stone pillar.The room gasped.People still weren’t used to seeing her power.I was.And gods help anyone foolish enough to st
