All Chapters of Moonbound: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Emily stared at the man beneath the trees.For several seconds, she couldn't understand the words he had just spoken.She was your sister.The sentence seemed impossible.The First Thought—the being Emily had believed was the beginning of everything, the one who had created the Original, the one who had supposedly created Emily—wasn't her mother.She was her sister.Emily looked toward the First Soul.The First Soul was staring at the man with an expression Emily had never seen before.Fear.“You know him,” Emily whispered.The First Soul nodded.“I remember him.”Kael moved closer.“Who is he?”The man smiled.“My name is Orion.”The name sent a strange vibration through Emily's chest.Orion.She had never heard it before.Yet some hidden part of her remembered hearing it whispered long ago.Emily stepped forward.“You said the First Thought was my sister.”“Yes.”“Then who is my mother?”Orion's expression changed.“She is gone.”Emily swallowed.“Dead?”“No.”“Then where is she?”O

Kael had faced creatures that could tear entire worlds apart. He had stood against armies that existed outside the boundaries of time, fought versions of himself that had been twisted by power, and watched universes collapse into nothing more than drifting particles of light. None of those moments had frightened him the way Emily did now. There was something fundamentally wrong about seeing her standing only a few feet away while knowing that the person looking back at him might no longer be the woman he loved.Emily's body remained perfectly still, but the darkness surrounding her continued to spread. Black veins of energy moved across the ground beneath her feet, crawling outward through the grass and toward the trees. Wherever the darkness touched, the world seemed to lose its color. Flowers faded. Leaves became gray. Even the sunlight above them weakened as though something were draining the life from the sky.Kael took one cautious step toward her.“Emily.”Her head tilted slight

The first creature came through the opening above them without making a sound. It descended slowly, almost gracefully, its enormous body folding through reality as though the laws of physics were nothing more than suggestions. At first Emily thought it had no face, only a smooth, pale surface where a face should have been. Then two eyes opened, followed by a mouth that stretched far too wide across its features.Behind it came another.Then another.Within seconds, the sky was crowded with them.They weren't an army in any ordinary sense. There were no formations, no weapons, no banners, and no recognizable bodies. Some appeared as shadows with limbs that changed shape every time Emily looked at them. Others looked almost human until she noticed that their bodies were slightly transparent, as though she were seeing creatures that existed halfway between dimensions. One had wings made of shattered stars. Another seemed to be nothing more than a pair of enormous silver eyes surrounded b

Emily forgot how to breathe.The figure emerging from the darkness had her face.Not someone who looked like her. Not a distant resemblance or another version of herself shaped by some alternate universe. It was Emily's face exactly—the same eyes, the same mouth, the same scar near her eyebrow, even the same expression she saw reflected in the mirror every morning.Except this version of her was smiling.The smile was wrong.Too calm.Too knowing.Too certain.Kael moved in front of Emily instinctively, but Emily caught his arm.“Don't.”He looked at her.“That's you.”“I know.”“No, Emily. That's literally you.”“I know.”The thing floating above them tilted its head.“Still protecting her.”Kael stared upward.“Who are you?”The duplicate smiled.“I could ask you the same question.”Kael's grip tightened around his weapon.“I asked first.”The duplicate laughed softly.“You're still doing that.”Emily felt a chill.“What does that mean?”The duplicate looked directly at her.“It mea

The baby's cry was small.That was what terrified Emily most.After everything she had witnessed—the collapsing worlds, the creatures beyond creation, the armies of impossible beings, the voices that could shake the stars—she had expected whatever came next to be enormous. Something powerful enough to announce itself with thunder.Instead, it was a newborn crying in the arms of a blood-covered Stella.Emily stared at the child.Her child.The words refused to make sense.“No.”Kael stood over her, his black eyes fixed on her.“You remember now.”Emily pushed herself backward.“No.”“You do.”“I don't have a daughter.”Stella looked at her.“You do.”Emily's gaze moved between them.“Then why don't I remember her?”Stella's face crumpled.“Because they took the memory.”Emily's chest tightened.“Who?”Stella looked at Kael.Kael smiled.“Don't ask questions you aren't ready to hear the answers to.”Emily's fear turned into anger.“Get away from me.”Kael didn't move.“I said get away f
