All Chapters of Loving Luna : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The Empty stopped.Across the broken sky, the colourless finger remained suspended above Black Moon.It had been reaching towards Elara.Then she had said one word.“No.”And existence went silent.Luna felt Darius's hand close around hers.Not hard.Never hard.But she knew that grip.He was afraid.Darius Blake did not frighten easily.That terrified her more than the thing in the sky.Elara stood beside Silas.Tiny.Barefoot.Silver light glowing around her body.She stared upward.The Empty stared back.Or Luna thought it did.It had no eyes.No face.No shape that her mind could properly understand.Yet somehow—it was looking directly at Elara.Lucien moved first.“Don't speak again.”Elara looked at him.“Why?”“Because it noticed you.”She frowned.“It was eating the sky.”“Yes.”“So I told it to stop.”Lucien closed his eyes.“Of course you did.”Silas pulled Elara behind him.“She is not speaking to it again.”Elara peeked around his leg.“I can still see it.”“That isn't th

Luna dreamed of her mother. Not the fragments Rowan's Phoenix stone had shown her. Not Elowen running. Not Gareth. Not blood. This was different. Luna was small. Perhaps four. She sat beneath an enormous white tree while sunlight slipped through silver leaves. Someone sat behind her, gently combing her hair. Luna couldn't see her face. But she knew. The way children sometimes knew things before the world taught them to doubt. “Mom?” The comb stopped. Luna's heart began pounding. Slowly, she turned. Elowen Vale sat behind her. Dark hair. Warm brown eyes. A smile that hurt Luna somewhere deep inside her chest. “Hello, my little flame.” Luna couldn't breathe. She had spent nineteen years believing Elena was her mother. Then discovered the woman had helped Gareth hide the truth. She had discovered Rowan. Discovered Elowen. Discovered bloodlines, Phoenixes, gods, prophecies. But this— this was her mother. “Are you real?” Elowen's smile trembled. “Yes.” Lun

Nobody moved.The woman standing before the black doorway had called herself Nyra.Luna's unborn daughter.Not a descendant.Not someone carrying her name.Her daughter.From another world.Another future.A future where Luna had lost.And something wearing Luna's voice was waiting beyond the door.Give me my daughter.The command shook the Crossroads.Grass blackened beneath their feet.The nine moons flickered.Nia whimpered.Eiran immediately pulled his little sister against his chest.Darius stepped in front of Luna.Darkness rolled from him.“Close the door.”Astra stared at the enormous black opening.“I cannot.”Darius slowly turned.“That was not a request.”“I know.”Stars exploded around Astra's hands.She pushed.Nothing happened.The doorway remained open.“I didn't create it.”Creation stepped forward.“Neither did I.”Silas tightened his grip on his sword.“Wonderful. We built a realm five minutes ago and someone has already broken in.”Lucien stared through the doorway.

Darius pointed his sword directly at Luna's heart.She stopped breathing.Not because she feared the blade.Because of his eyes.Empty.No recognition.No irritation.No dark amusement.No warmth.Nothing.“Darius.”His grip tightened.Behind him stood millions of stolen lives.Humans.Wolves.Children.Gods.Creatures Luna had no names for.Every face turned towards her.Every pair of eyes burned white-gold.Then every mouth opened.HE DOES NOT KNOW YOU.Luna's Phoenix screamed.She ignored Hunger.Her eyes remained on Darius.“Look at me.”He did.Nothing changed.Luna's chest tightened.“Blue-grey eyes.”His brow moved.Barely.Luna saw it.So did Hunger.The sword shifted.Only an inch.STOP.The command shook the emptiness.Luna smiled.There.Hunger was afraid.She stepped forward.Darius's sword immediately pressed against her chest.Older Luna grabbed her arm.“Don't.”Luna looked down.The blade rested directly over her heart.“Darius.”No answer.“You once told me you could

Every wolf in Black Moon screamed.Not howled.Screamed.Luna heard thousands of voices tear through the night as wolves collapsed beneath something older than Alpha blood.Older than pack law.Older than the Moon Goddess.KNEEL.The word struck again.Darius dropped beside her.One knee slammed into stone.His sword struck the floor.“Fuck.”Luna grabbed his arm.“Darius!”“I’m fine.”He wasn’t.Black veins crawled beneath his skin.His wolf was snarling so violently Luna could feel him through their bond.Not submitting.Fighting.Darius gripped the hilt of his sword.His entire body shook.“Get…”His teeth clenched.“…out…”The command struck again.KNEEL.Darius’s second knee hit the floor.Luna’s heart broke.Not because he was kneeling.Because she knew what it meant to him.Choice.Everything they had fought for.Everything he had learned.Everything she had learned.And something had reached inside his blood and stolen it.“No.”White fire erupted from Luna.She grabbed Darius
