Wanderer X Lumine Novels & Stories

Chapter 53: Wardens of the Dawn The world beyond the ruined city was bathed in an eerie glow. The once vibrant blue sky was now marred by countless purple orbs, each a pulsating reminder of the encroaching darkness. Liam and Xal'dar stood side by side, their bodies humming with the residual energy of their transformation. They were no longer just men; they were wardens, guardians of a world on the brink. The Guardian, a colossal figure shrouded in mist, turned towards them. "Your journey has just begun," its voice rumbled. "The corruption spreads like wildfire. You must find a way to cleanse the world of its influence."

“Alert me if anything changes.” As I descended the stairs leading to my lab, I knew I didn't have much time. Lumina, based on what my informants told me, works by destabilising the normal biology of the body. And it wasn't something that could be countered easily. Lira's case was worse. She had barely taken her full form as a gamma. I didn't even know where to start. What rank would she wake up to? My hands shook as I scanned the labels, pulling bottles closer to inspect them. I hadn't admitted it since they arrived, but Lumina scared me. It had the power to potentially end our kind. And worse, in the hands of my brother, we were doomed.

Alpha Clement and his Gamma, Felicia, were the most curious ones since they never stepped foot in Xandar’s home until that day. Lucianne’s eyebrows were furrowed as she cracked her brain. Her fingers were laced together and rested on the table. Everyone stayed silent as they watched her think, awaiting her decision and her instructions. Lucianne’s sights were still fixed on the table when she finally spoke, “How many Lycan warriors are at your disposal, Xandar?” He placed his large hand over her small ones as he said, “It’s ‘our’ disposal, sweetheart. And after sending the three of them to Forest Gloom yesterday, we have forty-seven left.”

Chapter 352 LUMINA "Lake," I said, "can you open a portal to the Silvercrest nest? Based on the photos Xenois showed you?" "Yes," Lake said, his hands already beginning to glow. "But Lumina, I've never taken this many people through at once. And I've definitely never taken them into active combat. If I mess up the coordinates, if I drop us in the wrong place—" "You won't mess up," I said firmly. "Because Riley is going to guide you. Riley, can you see where we need to land? Where we can arrive without immediately getting killed?"

Women began sorting the wreckage of the Lotus by its mineral content. There was no anger. There was no fear. There was only Assignment. I stayed on my knees in the freezing muck, my hands still hovering near Xander’s chest. The glowing circle with thirteen points burned through his tattered shirt, a steady, rhythmic pulse of light that seemed to be communicating with the very air. "Xander," I whispered, my voice caught in the back of my throat. "Look at me. Please. Don't look at the horizon."

Ikaros's words from last night kept echoing in my head. About wolfing out outdoors and the existence of his pack. ***** Ikaros's POV Last night, the woman broke her promise and wolfed out outdoors again. She leaped out of her room window in wolf form, landed smoothly on a birch tree branch in front of the apartment, and then descended to run out to the parking lot. Quickly, I wolfed out and chased after her. The full moon was directly above us, casting everything in a silvery glow, including the girl's fur.
