Jedi Trials Of The Temple Novels & Stories

Matt fought back the Elder's venomous words. -"It's tradition, as the future Queen Luna, she must pass the trials." Elder Theo insists. What an evil person. -"I told you. We should have killed him earlier. He means trouble, and I don't like it." Artemis growls at Theo in my mind. -"Susie didn't have to go through the trials. Has this happened before?" Matt faces the room with the question, attempting to die down this madness. -"Unfortunately, yes, son. Queen Luna Elizabeth Stevens, your great-great-great-grandmother. She went through the three-day trials. Justice. Loyalty. Submission." Alpha Elijah says with a grim expression.

“Second Arka, guardian of the Ember Temple. This is where the War God’s fire is forged, and where human foolishness is roasted.” Rayden inhaled slowly and deeply. The Black Sun Sword on his back trembled lightly, as if recognizing this place. “In that case,” he said evenly, “Burn me too.” The flames around them surged upward. The magma on the temple floor spun into a circle, swallowing Rayden’s footing up to his knees. Akarion looked at him coldly. “You know the rules of this trial, Heir. Three Strikes Without Breath.” “Three?” Rayden frowned. “And if I fail—”

The forest was covered in a molten haze of red, silver, black, and crimson sparks that moved around like old embers. The effects of the first two trials were still in the air. The guardian hovered above, huge and silent, its eyes glowing with molten silver fire. Every step it took made the earth shake. "You have resisted temptation, Moonbound," the guardian said in a voice that echoed through time like stone. "But loyalty alone does not define mastery. The third trial begins: a test of memory, time, and choices made a long time ago."

"Those were meant as your future mating gift. You want them now — you don't trust me?" I shrugged. "It's not about trust. The Luna Trials are deadly. If I die out there, I'd like to leave something behind." Color drained from her face, then flooded back in an angry flush. She finally swallowed her anger and nodded. "Fine. I'll have the Elders transfer control to you." I bowed my head in a small gesture of respect. "Thank you, Mother." She watched me, then sighed, her voice softening. "Don't overthink this. When you come back, the Frostfang Pack will still be your home."

The Royal Estate buzzed with anticipation for the first Combat Trial, set to begin at 2 PM sharp. The courtyard, now converted into a sprawling competition field, had been carefully enchanted for protection, the ground reinforced to absorb impacts, the barriers designed to prevent injury. Every participant had been warned: this was a trial of skill, not war. And yet, Jade’s instincts told her otherwise. She stood in the Crystal Blood suite’s common room, arms crossed, staring at the parchment list detailing the matchups. Her name was third on the roster—just after two sons of Northern mountain packs. Her opponent? Not Zach. Not Lucien. Someone she didn’t recognize. Yet.

“This is exactly what the citadel wants. If we keep fighting each other, we’ll fail.” Kael hesitated, his jaw clenching. He stepped back but didn’t look at Lucian. Eryndor’s hollow gaze settled on Aria. “The citadel feeds on discord. If you cannot stand together, it will tear you apart.” He motioned toward the glowing orb. “This trial will test that unity. Approach the pedestal, and the trial will reveal itself.” Aria took a deep breath and stepped forward, Kael and Lucian following reluctantly. As her fingers brushed the orb, a surge of energy shot through the room. The ground trembled, and the chamber was bathed in a blinding light.

“Your friends are lost, scattered across the Nexus’s domain. To reunite, you must pass the trials.” “What kind of trials?” Elias asked warily. The figure gestured toward a glowing pedestal in the center of the room. “Answer the questions posed by the Archive. Succeed, and you will be one step closer to freedom. Fail, and you will remain here forever.” Elias hesitated, then stepped forward. “I don’t have a choice, do I?” The figure said nothing, and Elias placed his hands on the pedestal. A book materialized before him, its cover blank.

His eyes were glistening with tears. He nodded bleakly. "Fine. You say your mother is in this coffin, right? Men, take this coffin away!" The bodyguards he brought swarmed forward and lifted the coffin. The edge of the coffin barely caught on the window railing. With one push, it would fall. "What are you doing?" I struggled desperately. But they held me down firmly and rendered me immobile. Then, Adrian uttered, "Since you insist on lying to me, I'll give you one final true love test. Do you choose this coffin, or do you choose to marry me? You can only pick one."

“The dragon sleeps deep. You must enter the Prism Vale. Walk the path of soul-balance. If you succeed, Nyrielle will rise. If not... she will devour what’s left of you.” I stare at the flame-ring. “You’re giving me a death sentence.” “No,” the Queen says softly. “I’m giving you a chance.” A beat of silence. Then, another memory surges; Lucien’s smile which is rare and quiet. His voice, telling me I make him feel real. Like he’s not just the shadow of someone braver. “I’ll do it,” I whisper. “For him. For me.” The Queen gestures. “Then you will begin the Three Trials. Each one tied to an elemental truth. Each one stripping away a piece of you until only the worthy remains.”

She gave Katie a curt nod and led her back to the arena, only letting go of her hand as they entered the stands and went their separate ways. Alex returned to her post near the guests and watched Katie find her place at Logan’s side. She whispered in the Shadow Forest Alpha’s ear, and the man stiffened, eyes turning to the arena no doubt searching for his mate. There were a few other Shadow Forest warriors peppered in the stands, and as one they too became alert. Alex felt it too, but resisted warning Jace, he was already on edge, more so than he should be for a rigged Trial, but Katie was right, something felt off. It was too late anyway. The Trial was beginning and Jace was front and centr
