Novel & Cerita The Defiant Luna

And if I can’t have you, no one will. But Kael was wrong. She wasn’t his. She had never been. And as she closed her eyes, a new determination took root. He had tried to destroy her, but he had only awakened her. The Luna’s revenge would not be whispered in the shadows; it would be roared from the mountaintops. And she would not be alone.

My name is Aria Nightshade. Daughter of Alpha Lucien Nightshade, the only heir to a bloodline that ruled long before I was born, the future of a pack I once believed I would lead. But that was before I chose love over everything I was meant to be. And this… this is the story of how I lost it all, and how I took it back. I remember the night everything began to fall apart. I was lying in Damon’s arms, my head resting against his chest as the steady rhythm of his heartbeat filled the quiet room. The curtains were drawn, allowing only thin strips of moonlight to spill across the bed, painting everything in soft silver.

As father. “You’re an abomination,” the Goddess whispered. “A queen with two moons. A king without my bond. This will destroy the world.” “No,” Luna said. “It will save it.” She raised her hand. Purple light filled the throne room. “I, Luna, Queen of Both Moons, daughter of Elena and Valen, mate of Damian, reject your law. From this day forward, no wolf is forced. No bond is mandatory. No crown is forever.” The Goddess screamed. Light exploded.

His fur was a deep sandy color with the ends of the hair tipped in black, and they stood on the edge of his back as his rage grew from my resistance to go down without a fight. "You need to move now!" Again, the unknown females voice pulsed in my head. Instead of questioning the voice, I obliged. I swiftly rolled off my belly just as Jean's wolf landed where I once laid. I yanked the rake to me, rolled to my feet, and jumped behind the tree. I saw a blur of sandy fur pass right by me as I took shelter against the tree. I stepped on the end of the rake, braking it to form a pointy weapon.

I turn, looking for an escape—but it’s too late. I’m surrounded. The rogues—so many of them—move in, their eyes gleaming with something dark, something cruel. They are playing with me, letting me tire myself out before they go in for the kill. I bare my fangs, standing my ground. "I am Unega Galvlo, Luna of the Shaconage pack!" My voice rips through the mind-link, raw and furious. "Your warriors kill without cause, a crime against the Moon Goddess herself, and now I will crush your bones and turn them to dust!"

“Yet you stand here defiant, surrounded by those who fear you, those who doubt your worth.” Elena swallowed hard but lifted her chin. “I am Luna. I do not need permission to stand, nor do I bow to fear.” The figure’s lips curved slightly, though their eyes stayed cold. “Bold words for one so… untested.” A ripple of tension moved through the room. Damien’s claws flexed, his wolf restless. Zephyr’s body was coiled, ready to strike. The twins stirred again — the energy inside her rising like a second heartbeat. “Untested?” Damien growled. “Don't you realise She's Luna? The womb of prophecy?”

The pack's Elder stepped forward, ancient and powerful, carrying the Luna crown on a velvet cushion. "We gather tonight," her voice rang out, "to witness the formal claiming of our Luna Queen. Alpha Alexei Volkov, do you claim this woman as your mate and Luna?" "I do." Alexei's voice was strong and clear. "Before the Moon Goddess and this pack, I claim Sera Winters as my Luna Queen." "And do you, Sera Winters, accept this claim? Do you pledge yourself to this pack and this Alpha?" I felt Kieran's stare burning into my back. This was it. The moment of no return.

I snarled. “Luna, your parents were abducted by the Black Moon Alpha Pack, it’s a group of evil vampires and werewolves that the Underground World doesn’t know to exist. This group is composed of immortals who have a huge grudge on each and every one of us.” She tried to explain calmly. “And what do they want from me huh?” I asked back. “They want you, Luna. You’re the most powerful immortal, and they will surely use you.” Lucia shot back.

Thankfully, because my ears were 5 seconds from bleeding. “Get your hands off of the Luna!” Ashton warns with a low growl. Jeff growls back, not backing down. “She’s no Luna. She’s my runaway mate, and she’s going home with us.” He spits back at Ashton. But neither of my protectors are budging. “You have another thing coming if you think we’ll let our Luna go with you. Who are you anyway?” Lauren asks, her arms crossed. Her aura screams high rank, but Jeff either to stupid or chooses to ignore it as he answers.

Alina quickly glanced in the direction of the door. "He is able to. He does. Everything in this fortress, including the walls, bends to him. You ought not to have disobeyed him. Luna gave a sour laugh, but it was devoid of humor. "The only thing I have left is defiance." Her chuckles melted into silence. Tension was in the air, and it crackled softly. On the table next to them, a lone candle flickered, casting shadows across their faces. Opposite her, Alina sat with her hands clasped together. There, she appeared so tiny, engulfed by the darkness. She whispered, "If you continue to fight him, you will die." "What he cannot manage, he destroys." Luna's eyes became stony. "After that, I'll for
