Semua Bab “The Luna They Betrayed: Rise of the Forsaken Wolf”: Bab 121 - Bab 130

The universe screamed.Not with a sound that could be heard by human ears.It screamed through the stars.Through the oceans.Through the roots beneath the earth.Through every living thing that had ever existed.Arielle felt the scream pass through her body, but she did not move.She stood inside the frozen moment, facing the older version of herself.Around them floated countless worlds.Some were familiar.Some were impossible.Some had never existed long enough to become real.And every single one contained a different version of her family.In one world, Cassian was a king.In another, he was a farmer with silver in his hair.In another, he had never met Arielle.In another, he had died before their first child was born.There were worlds where Lyra had become a warrior.Worlds where she had never been born.Worlds where Elara ruled a kingdom made entirely of living things.Worlds where Kael had disappeared between realities.Worlds where Adrian had become so powerful that probab

Every star disappeared.The darkness that followed was not ordinary darkness.It had weight.It pressed against the skin.It filled the lungs.It seemed to crawl through the spaces between thoughts.Arielle held the Witness tightly against her chest while Cassian moved in front of them.Lyra stood beside her father.Elara reached for Noah.Kael and Adrian remained several steps behind them, both staring at the impossible figure that had crossed through the crack in the heavens.Hope stood frozen.The Shadow King raised his weapon.Even the Beginning and the End looked afraid.That frightened Arielle more than the creature itself.She had seen the Beginning face the collapse of worlds without fear.She had watched the End walk calmly through civilizations that were dying.But now both primordial beings were silent.Arielle looked at the figure.Who are you?The creature smiled.You have already asked me that question.Arielle's heart tightened.When?Before you knew how to speak.The f

The sky broke. Not cracked. Not split. It broke as though reality itself were glass, shattered by an invisible hand. Beyond the broken heavens was something no living mind had ever been meant to see. There were no stars. No worlds. No darkness. Only an enormous presence pressing against the edges of existence. Dawn stood beneath it. His silver eyes burned brightly, but his body trembled. Arielle moved toward him. Stay with us. Dawn looked at her. I am trying. The thing beyond the sky moved. Every ocean on Earth rose at once. Mountains groaned. The trees bent toward the ground. Far away, across worlds that had only recently stopped colliding, civilizations looked upward in terror. Something was arriving. Something that had never needed a name. The Creator whispered, It is here. Arielle looked at her. What is it? The former Creator swallowed. The hunger. Cassian tightened his grip around Arielle's hand. You said it wanted existenc

The voice disappeared.But its presence remained.It lingered beneath the earth like a pressure against the bones of the universe, making every breath feel heavier than it should have.Arielle held Elias closer.The baby was strangely calm.No crying.No fear.His small fingers remained wrapped around hers while his mismatched eyes stared toward the enormous crack spreading through the ground.One eye brown.One eye black.Arielle could feel something moving beneath them.Not merely something large.Something fundamental.Something that did not belong to the world because the world had been created after it.Cassian moved closer.Arielle, whatever is under there, we need to get everyone away from this place.The Shadow King shook his head.There may not be anywhere to run.Cassian glanced at him.Then we make somewhere.The Shadow King gave him a strange look.You sound like Kael.Kael stepped forward.I heard that.The Shadow King almost smiled.Good.It means you're listening.The g

No one spoke.The older Cassian stood beneath the restored sky, his sword hanging loosely at his side.He looked like a man who had walked through the ruins of eternity and somehow survived.But his eyes were what frightened Arielle most.They held no hope.Not even a little.Cassian moved closer to Arielle, placing himself between her and the stranger.If you are me, prove it.The older man looked at him.You used to sleep on your left side because you said sleeping on your back made your dreams too vivid.Cassian's expression changed.You hated sweet things, but you always stole the last piece of cake from Arielle's plate.Arielle stared at him.The older Cassian continued.You once told Lyra that being strong didn't mean never being afraid. It meant refusing to let fear make your decisions.Lyra's eyes widened.That's something Dad would say.The older Cassian looked at her.I am your father.Cassian stepped forward.Then tell me something only I would know.The older man looked di
