All Chapters of The Rejected Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CHAPTER 11The army waited in a tight circle around the stones. Hundreds of wolves stood ready. Their growls mixed together and filled the air. Drax rose to his feet slow. Blood still ran from his lip. He wiped it away with the back of his hand. His eyes stayed locked on me the whole time. The silver light from the stones glowed brighter. It pushed against the army but did not push them away completely. My body shook from the power inside me. My cuts burned. My side hurt from the claws. But I stayed standing tall between the stones. Kade stood right beside me. His knife dripped blood. He breathed hard but his face looked calm and ready. The three from the Moon Sanctum stayed close behind us. Their faces showed fear but they did not run. "You cannot run from this," Drax said again. His voice came out rough and loud. "The pack needs order. You are the fracture that breaks everything." I looked straight at him. My hands stayed open at my sides. The light around me grew even stron

My cuts hurt every time a leaf touched them. The silver light on my skin showed me where to step. Behind us the howls kept coming. They were not as loud now. Still close. Drax and his army did not give up easily.Kade ran beside me. His breathing was rough but steady. He looked back every seconds. "They are slowing down a little " he said. "The Sanctum power is pushing them back."I. Did not say anything. My legs felt heavy. Each step hurt my knee. The bite on my side felt like it was on fire. Blood kept soaking into my shirt and making it stick to my skin. Still I kept moving. I had to keep going.The leader from

My body hurt,. It was a different kind of pain now. The stones helped me. The cuts on my arms did not look as bad. My knee did not hurt much when I moved it. The silver light around me stayed steady like a breath.Kade sat a feet away looking at the dark trees. "They pulled back " he said quietly. ". Drax will not stay away for long. I can still hear them moving there."The leader nodded, his hand on one of the stones. "Drax felt the power here. It scared him. The bond is pulling at him harder than before. He will come back. He will bring more than just wolves this time."I wiped the sweat from my forehe

The silence stretched between us. The stones glowed soft silver around the circle. Drax stayed on one knee. His shoulders curved like something heavy pressed down on them. His eyes looked raw. Red rimmed. Not cold anymore.I stayed planted on the platform. My boots dug into the carved stone. The silver light curled around my ankles. Warm. Steady. It pushed against my ribs where the bond sat.Nythera spoke inside my head. Her voice stayed calm like still water. “He is here. Broken. Let him speak. But do not forget what he did.”Kade shifted behind me. His knife stayed out. The blade caught the glow. The leader and the injured stranger watched without a word. Their eyes stayed sharp.“Elora.” Drax said my name again. His voice cracked like dry leaves under a boot. “I heard everything through the bond. The stone showed you the truth. The Council hid your line. I felt it years ago. I knew what you would become.”My chest pulled tight. The bond tugged sharp and hot. Shame flooded in waves.

The boundary line hummed under my boots as I stepped across it. Pack territory swallowed us whole. The air changed in an instant. Thicker. Heavier. It carried the familiar scents of pine smoke and damp earth and the distant crackle of cookfires. My chest tightened. This place that had once felt like home now pressed in on me like a too-small skin I had outgrown in the Hollow Expanse. Drax walked beside me. Too close. His arm brushed mine with every step on the narrowing path. Heat flared through the contact. The bond roared to life. His wolf reached for Nythera. Protective and wanting at the same time. The pull low in my belly made my breath hitch. I did not step away immediately. The warmth lingered. My skin prickled with awareness of him. The way his breath hitched. The way his body leaned toward mine without thinking. Nythera whispered inside my head. “He feels it too. Keep him earning every inch.” I remembered the last time I walked these paths. The rejection still echoed i
