The Luna He Denied — Claimed Across Enemy Lines의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Darkness.That was the first thing Ariana felt.Not sleep.Not rest.Just… darkness.It wrapped around her, heavy and endless, like she was sinking into something deep with no way out.She tried to move.Nothing happened.She tried to speak.No sound came.Her body felt far away, like it didn’t belong to her anymore.Am I… dead?The thought came slowly, weak and unsure.But then,a sound.Faint at first.A voice.“…Ariana.”Her heart moved.That voice.She knew it.“…wake up.”The darkness shifted a little.Ariana tried again to move.Her fingers twitched.Pain came after it.Sharp.Real.And suddenly,she wasn’t so sure she was dead anymore.*****“Ariana.”The voice came again.Closer this time.Stronger.She forced her eyes open.Light hit her eyes hard, and she flinched.Everything was blurry at first.Shapes.Shadows.Then slowly,it became clear.A face.Close to hers.Sharp features.Dark eyes.Focused.Kael.Relief hit her first.“You’re… here,” she whispered.Her voice was weak.

Noise.That was the first thing Ariana heard.Shouting.Running.Clashing.Her eyes flew open.She was on the ground.The impact,Ariana almost laughed.Too late for that.****They moved together toward the clearing.The moment Ariana stepped outside,her breath caught.The forest was no longer quiet.It was a battlefield.Wolves fought everywhere.Growls.Howls.Pain.Blood.It filled the air.Ariana froze for a second.Too much at once.This wasn’t like before.This wasn’t a small fight.This was war.*****“Ariana!”She turned.Darius was helping an injured wolf nearby.“Help me!” he called.Ariana ran to him.She dropped beside the wolf.His breathing was uneven.Blood covered his side.“I can’t stop the bleeding,” Darius said.Ariana placed her hands over the wound.She closed her eyes.Focused.Waited.Nothing.Her breath shook.“No… come on…”She tried again.Pushed harder.Reached deeper.Still nothing.Her hands started to shake.“I can’t do it,” she whispered.Darius looked

Ariana did not move.The forest was quiet again.Too quiet.Her heart beat fast in her chest.Rogan’s voice was gone.But the fear stayed.She looked around slowly.Nothing moved.Nothing made a sound.Still… she knew.He was watching.Somewhere.****“Ariana.”She turned quickly.Kael stood a few steps behind her.His eyes were sharp.“You should not be out here alone,” he said.“I needed space,” Ariana replied.“You ran.”It was not a question.Ariana looked away.“Yes.”Kael walked closer.“We don’t have time for that.”Her chest tightened.“I know.”****Kael looked at her carefully.“Rogan is getting stronger,” he said.Ariana’s voice dropped.“Because of me.”“No,” Kael said.“Because he found you.”Ariana shook her head.“That does not make it better.”“No,” Kael replied. “But it makes it real.”***Ariana crossed her arms.“So what now?”Kael answered without delay.“You train.”Ariana frowned.“Now?”“Yes.”Her body still hurt.Her energy was low.“I can barely stand.”Kael d

Ariana couldn’t move.Her body felt stiff.The air around her was heavy, like something was pressing on her chest.That presence,it was closer now.Too close.Her heart pounded once, hard.Then,a shadow moved behind her.Before she could turn, a hand grabbed her arm.Tight. Cold.Ariana screamed.“Kael!”The grip pulled her back, fast….too fast.Her feet left the ground.She struggled, kicked, tried to break free.“Let me go!”Kael moved instantly.“Ariana!”He lunged forward,but suddenly stopped.His body locked.Just like before.His muscles refused to move.“What!”Ariana’s eyes widened.“Kael!”She reached for him, but the distance between them grew too fast.The wolves stood still, watching.Silent.Their eyes were empty.Controlled.None of them moved to help.“Help me!” Ariana cried.No one answered.No one moved.The shadow dragged her deeper into the trees.Darkness closed in around her.Branches scratched her skin.Her breathing turned wild and fast.Then,they stopped.Sudd

Ariana didn’t move. Her heart was racing. Her chest felt tight. She kept staring at him. At Kael. But something felt wrong. Very wrong. His eyes were dark. Empty. Cold. Not the Kael she knew.“Come with me,” he said again.The voice sounded like Kael, but something about it didn’t feel right.Ariana slowly stepped back. “No.”Her voice was quiet, but steady.The fake Kael tilted his head. “Why not?”Ariana swallowed. “Because you’re not him.”There was silence. Then he smiled a little,but it wasn’t Kael’s smile.Rogan stepped forward from behind him, calm, watching everything. “Good,” Rogan said. “You’re learning.”Ariana’s stomach sank. “It’s not real,” she whispered.The fake Kael looked at her again. “You’re sure?”Ariana forced herself to stay calm. To think. The real Kael wouldn’t stand like this. He wouldn’t talk like this. He wouldn’t look at her that way.“You’re lying,” she said.The fake Kael stepped closer. “Am I?”Ariana’s breath shook, but she stayed where she was. “Kae
