All Chapters of Rejected Luna: Rise of an Omega Queen: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The ground beneath us trembled again.Dust fell from the ceiling, drifting through the strange light that had begun to spread across the chamber. The symbols carved into the walls were no longer glowing one by one. They were connected now, forminga vast pattern that seemed to surround the entire room.My mother reached for me.“Amara, come here.”I didn't move.The stranger's words were still inside my head.If the two of you had stayed together, the world would have ended.I looked at Ethan.He was staring at me with the same confusion I felt.“What does that mean?” he asked.The stranger didn't answer.Instead, he looked toward the floor.The dark water beneath the platform was moving faster now.Marcus pulled against his chains.“You need to stop this.”The stranger's eyes remained fixed on the water.“I can't.”“You created it.”“No.”His voice became quieter.“She did.”He pointed at my mother.Everyone turned toward her.My mother shook her head.“No.”“You awakened the Mark the

The memory opened before I could prepare myself.I was back in the room where I had been born.Only this time, I wasn't a newborn.I could see everything.My mother was standing beside the bed, exhausted and terrified, while Marcus held Ethan in his arms.Seraphina stood near the window, watching the shadows outside.And my grandfather was there.Not watching.Waiting.He walked toward me.I was lying in my mother's arms, barely old enough to understand the world around me, but the Mark was already glowing beneath my skin.He reached for my hand.My mother pulled me away.“Don't touch her.”His expression remained calm.“You don't understand what she is.”“She is my daughter.”“She is the vessel.”Marcus stepped forward.“Enough.”My grandfather looked at him.“You know what happens if the Mark chooses her.”“She isn't a vessel.”“You're wrong.”Seraphina finally spoke.“The Mark chose both children.”My grandfather turned toward her.“Then they must be separated.”My mother's eyes wi

Nobody spoke.The girl stood in the doorway as though she had stepped out of one of my memories and into the present. Her dark hair fell around her shoulders, and although her face was unfamiliar, there was something about her eyes that made my chest ache.They were my eyes.Ethan stared at her.“You're alive.”The girl gave him a small smile.“So are you.”My mother moved before anyone else could react.She rushed toward the girl and stopped only a few feet away, as though she was afraid that getting any closer would make her disappear.“Lena?”The girl's expression softened.“Hi, Mom.”My mother broke down.She covered her mouth, but the sob that escaped her was impossible to hide.Ethan looked between them.“You knew her name?”My mother nodded.“I named her before they took her.”I couldn't move.Lena.The name settled somewhere inside me.It felt strangely familiar.Not because I remembered her face, but because some part of me had always remembered her existence.A missing space

The sanctuary began to collapse around us.Stone cracked overhead, sending fragments crashing across the floor as the darkness beneath the chamber spread through the walls. My mother pulled me toward the exit, but the moment I took a step, the ground shook so violently that we nearly fell.“Run!” Marcus shouted.Nobody needed to be told twice.Ethan grabbed Lena's hand, and together we rushed toward the passage. Gabriel followed close behind, while my mother stayed beside me.Then something struck the floor between us.A wall of darkness rose from the crack.It separated us.“Amara!”My mother's voice disappeared behind it.I reached for her.“Mom!”The darkness moved like smoke, swallowing the passage between us.Ethan pulled me backward.“We have to keep moving!”“But she's there!”“She can take care of herself!”I wanted to argue, but another tremor threw us against the wall.Lena looked at the floor.“It's getting worse.“What do we do?”She stared at our hands.The three marks we

For a moment, I couldn't breathe.The girl standing beside me looked exactly like me, but my mother's words had changed everything.She is the first Amara.I stared at her.Then at my mother.Then back at the girl.“What does that mean?”My mother stepped into the memory vault.“It means she existed before you.”The girl smiled faintly.“And before Ethan. Before Lena.”My head spun.“You said there were only three children.”“There were,” my mother said.“Then what are you?”The girl answered quietly.“A memory given a body."I shook my head.“That isn't possible.”My mother looked at the Mark glowing beneath my skin.“You've seen enough to know that impossible isn't the right word anymore.”The girl walked toward me.“You were created from me.”I stepped backward.“No.”“Your blood carries my memory.”“No.”“You have my face because you were made from the same original blood.”“Stop.”She stopped.For the first time, I saw sadness in her eyes.“I know what you're feeling.”“You don't
