The Luna’s Trial의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Tamara’s POV “You’re the center of it.” The words hung, thick as the stale air. I swallowed, feeling the walls pressed in. Kat and Serene exchanged a glance. For a split second, the tension in their shoulders softened.“Come on,” Serene said finally, her blind gaze sweeping the room as if she could see through the walls. “Standing here won’t solve anything. Let’s get some air.”We stepped toward the door, the wooden floorboards creaking beneath our weight. Outside, the forest waited, damp and alive. A cool breeze surrounded my skin as the scent of wet earth filled my lungs. Leaves whispered with movement, disturbed by a gentle wind, and somewhere distant, a bird called out, sharp and sudden.Kat jabbed Serene lightly in the ribs with her elbow. “Don’t get all high and mighty on me, Seer. Just because you can’t see doesn’t mean you can’t trip over your own feet.”Serene laughed softly, sharp as breaking glass. “Better blind than clumsy like you, wolf-girl. Or are you still prac

Tamara’s POVI jogged along the edge of the woods, my lungs burning, beads of sweat forming around my neck and forehead. My breathing grew ragged, but I couldn’t stop. My thoughts spiraled, dragging me into a slower pace. “Jenna… my sister… I wonder what she’s doing now. And the bite, the rejection, Percy…” I clenched my fists.“You are rejected.” The words rang in my head. I bent low, clutching my head. I squeezed my eyes shut, desperately trying to block the words out. “You are rejected.” The voice came louder this time. My body weakened, my eyes unfocused, the trees spinning around me.“Arrghhh!” A scream tore from my throat as my hands clutched my chest, desperately trying to soothe the burning fire there. Then, all I could see was red. My body moved in swift motions. I felt flesh, but my brain couldn’t register what was happening until–A sharp rustle froze me mid-step, snapping me back to reality. My breaths came shallow. Then a voice, soft and deliberate, cut through the shadow

Tamara’s POVThe doors opened before I touched them. A young man stood behind them. His head bowed to me as I stepped in. Warm air brushed against my skin, carrying the faint scent of polished wood. My shoes clicked against the marble floor as I stepped inside, the sound echoing too loudly, as if the house itself was listening.Elijah waited near the base of a curved staircase. His dark suit was sharp, crisp lines without a wrinkle. His posture was straight, shoulders relaxed but controlled.His eyes settled on me, a smile tugging faintly at his lips. “I was beginning to think you’d change your mind.”My fingers tightened at my sides. “I almost did.” I did a quick visual sweep of the room. It looked lustrous and vintage A small shift at the corner of his mouth. Not quite a smile. “But you didn’t.”“No.”Silence stretched between us. Somewhere deeper in the house, faint chatter drifted.“You said you’d release her.”“I did.”I stepped closer, my jaw tightening. “And you will?”His g

Percy’s POVBy the time we crossed into pack territory, the air had already shifted, thick, charged, carrying the weight of blood on my skin. Word traveled fast. Too fast.Wolves stopped mid-task, eyes dropping first to the crimson stains across my hands and shirt, then back to me. Some backed away, others froze, caught between instinct and duty.A few edged closer, cautious but unwilling to retreat. The metallic tang of blood lingered in the air, sharp against the earth and sweat clinging to me.“Alpha… what happened?” one asked.I kept walking, shoulders squared, the burn under my ribs steady.“Stand down.” The air stilled, yet my ears caught the faintest stirrings of the defiant. It irked me that anyone thought my orders were optional.I stopped, turned my head slowly, gaze cutting through them.“I said stand down.”Dominance rolled out, heavy and controlled, pressing into their bones. Shoulders sagged, heads bowed, fear thickened the air.One hesitated. Just a beat too long. A g

Tamara’s POVThe night air was cooler than the mansion, sharp against my skin the moment I stepped outside. It felt like I could finally breathe properly again, the weight of the walls behind me loosening just enough to let my lungs expand.I pulled my jacket tighter, head lowered as I walked. I needed to see Jenna. Maybe it was too quick, maybe reckless, but something didn’t add up and I couldn’t ignore it.The café lights glowed warm against the dark street. Jenna was just about to go in when she spotted me. She stood immediately, her eyes widening.“Tamara.”I didn’t wait for more words. I moved straight to her, arms wrapping around her in a hug. “Jenna, I’m–”She cut me off, voice breaking. “No, Mara, I understand. I should never have let you go.”I pulled back slightly, the heat of her body fading too quickly. “There’s so much going on, Jen.” My eyes blurred, tears slipping free.Her hands brushed my cheeks, wiping the tear away with a tenderness that made my chest ache. “Let’s g
