Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 44
Chapter 44: The War We Can’t Escape Smoke still clung to my clothes as I clutched my children, my heart racing as the fortress continued to burn. The night air reeked of ash and blood, the sounds of drones in the mid ringing throughout my head. We had succeeded in this fight—but Bryan had eluded capture. Which meant this was just the beginning. Ethan’s hand cramped on my shoulder, his stare scanning through the trees searching for a response. To our right, Selene and Dorian held their ground, swords in hand, their expressions permanently set. “We have to leave,” Rhea said, the anxiety evident in her voice. She was correct. And the next time, it wouldn’t be with cannon drones. It would be with my kids. I stared down at their chubby cheeks, their lovely eyes, which resembled my son’s, which resembled his. They didn’t notice what was happening. They didn’t find out what was going to happen next. I had attempted to avoid it. But it hasn’t been my time yet. We departed into the night, t

Chapter 45: The Road to RuinThe Shadowfang fortress was quiet before the dawn, the air heavy with the impending doom. Warriors flowed through the hallways like ghosts, sharpening weapons, preparing armor, muttering to one other in low voices.We were marching to war.And I wasn’t going to return empty-handed this time.Bryan was outside, lurking in the wreckage of the Knox Pack, scraping whatever remnant of loyalty he could. He was dangerous, desperate. And desperation had made men reckless.I was standing in the war room, looking down at the map in front of me. The lines of old territories, faded. The broken pieces of my former home.Instead, I had walked away from the Knox Pack, an unwanted mate, humiliated and discarded.Now I was back as the woman who would kill their final Alpha.The sound of Ethan’s voice pulled me from my stupor. “Are you sure about this?”As my fingertips rested on the map, I turned to him. “We don’t have a choice.”He came closer, his eyes searching mine. “T

Chapter 46: Bloodlines and BetrayalFissures pocked through the busted wreckage as the golden-eyed figure approached, the ground vibrating underfoot. And the air around him seemed alive with an unnatural energy, something old and something wrong.Bryan stood next to him, eyeing me with that same annoying smirk, like he’d already won.“You shouldn’t have touched this, Jessica,” he said, shaking his head. “You had your escape. You had your children. But you just had to come back, didn’t you?”My pulse thundered in my ears as I tightened my fists. “Do you think I would spare you after what you did?”Bryan laughed softly. “Still so dramatic.”Ethan stepped in next to me with his weapon drawn, his whole body vibrating with tension. “You’re stalling.”The golden-eyed figure chuckled, the sound smooth, even amused. “I like him,” he mused. “But he’s wrong. We’re not stalling.”His golden eyes flickered over to me, and suddenly, my breath caught in my throat — because I felt something.A tug i

Chapter 47 The Monster InsideThe battlefield was quiet.Too quiet.Bryan was gone, along with the golden-eyed figure. But what he said still rang in my ears."You and I… we are the same."I gripped my fists, the pulse of my heart a violent drum in my ears.No.He was wrong.I wasn’t like him.I couldn’t be like him.Ethan groaned next to me, his hand at the back of his neck, the spot where the golden-eyed figure had touched him. His breath ragged, he appeared shaken.I knelt down next to him, brushing my fingers over his arm. “Ethan?”His jaw clenched. “I’m fine.”Liar.He was gasping as if he’d run a marathon, his hands fluttering like something remained in him.“Did he.. . do something to you?” “What,” I asked, low voice just above a whisper.Ethan hesitated.Then, slowly, he nodded.“I don’t know if it was,” he confessed. “It wasn’t like a spell. It was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. It was—”His breath hitched.“Like something watching me.”A shiver slithered down my sp

Chapter 48: The Line We Cannot CrossInside the war room, tension hung heavy in the air. Nobody said anything, but I could feel their eyes — looking at me, waiting, waiting for answers I didn’t have.Not yet.My pulse roared in my ears, and I clenched my fists at my sides. The figure with eyes of gold — the first — wanted my children. And if Elias was right, if the Order had left him because he was too powerful, too volatile…Then we were fighting something worse than the Order itself.Something that was beyond reason.Unstoppable something.Unless I found a way.It was Ethan who first broke the silence. “We need a plan.” He spoke evenly, though I noticed his hands trembling slightly by his sides. He was angry. Afraid.I didn’t blame him.Dorian exhaled sharply. “A plan for what? We have no idea even what we’re working with. If he’s really the first hybrid, the first experiment, that would mean he’s older than any of us. They’re more powerful than anything we encountered before.”Sele

Chapter 49: The Point of No ReturnWhen the golden-eyed figure took a step forward, everything appeared to freeze.The night air was thick, wrapping my skin like a second suffocating layer of weight. The warriors shifted around me, their hands tightening on their weapons. I heard the faint shuffling of boots on stone, the quiet, measured breathing of the ones waiting for the inevitable.But no one moved.Not yet.Not until I did.I met his gaze, not flinching. “You have been waiting for this, haven’t you?”The golden-eyed figure smiled, slow and lazy, “Of course.”His voice was liquid, well modulated, and that was enough to set my wolf to snarling beneath my skin.He was too calm.Too sure.So he believed he had already won.I stepped slowly forward, my pulse calm though a storm roiled within. “You were you stopped me running. Here I am.”He inclined his head. “Indeed. But there’s one thing I can’t help but wonder — don’t you know why that meant so much to me?”I clenched my fists. “B

Chapter 28: The Gamble at MidnightThe journey to Midnight Claws' territory was brutal. The air grew colder as the dense forests of the Black Hollow were replaced by torn cliffs and valleys shrouded in mist. Each step came with an added heaviness as the inevitable loomed beyond me, bearing down like a torrential rain. The Ironfangs had bowed to fight beside us, but it wouldn’t be enough. We needed more.Selene was in the lead, gliding through the shadows like water. Dorian fell in step beside her, ever the strategist, his keen silver eyes raking the horizon. The Midnight Claws were infamous for that, for their secrecy, their shifting alliances. If they were already in league with the Order, we were walking into a death trap.That thought sent a shiver of fear down my spine, but I brushed it away. We didn’t have a choice.“Stay close,” Selene said softly. “We’re being watched.”My wolf stirred under my skin and I tensed, but forced myself to remain calm. This was their home court, thei

Chapter 50: The Siege BeginsThe first wave crashed unto the shore.When Bryan’s troops conquered the fortress gates, the world fell into chaos.Warriors fought in a maelstrom of steel and claws, the scent of blood and smoke heavy in the air. There was an unnatural darkness over the sky, as if the earth itself could sense what was to come.And at the center of it all—Bryan stood, watching.Waiting.For me.I gritted my teeth and stepped forward gripping my sword tightly, slicing through the first tier of enforcers as was mere grass.This wasn’t just a battle.This was war.And I wasn’t going to lose.The Fight for ShadowfangEthan battling at my side, his blade a blur as he hewed through enemies. His motions were graceful, lethal — decades of practice and fury coalescing in every blow.Selene flitted like a shadow, daggers glinting in the now-rising sun, slitting throats before the enemies even had time to scream.Dorian took one group of warriors in the opposite direction along the

Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 73
Jessica stood paralyzed between Kade and Lucas, her heart hammering against her ribs and her past and future colliding before her.She should be relieved. After all these months running away, just trying to survive, desperately trying to stay alive—her pack had finally found her.But why did it feel so wrong?Lucas’s eyes were hopeful, craving for her to conform, to go back to what she used to be. Kade, however, remained unmoved next to her, barely shrouded dominance barely leashed, refusing to budge.She gulped, wavered on her feet. “Lucas… how did you find me?”His face gave nothing away. “We never stopped looking.”A twinge of guilt knotted in her chest. Had they really been searching for her all along? Or was there another reason for their mysterious re-emergence?Kade growled low next to her, catching Lucas’s ear. “She is not leaving without the truth.”Lucas’s jaw tightened. “This doesn’t concern you, Alpha. She belongs with us.”Jessica exhaled sharply. “I decide where I belong
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 72
Chapter 72 – The AwakeningJessica’s body was weightless, floating between this world and another. This energy flowed in her veins as nothing she had ever known: primal, ancient, wild.Her wrists no longer ached. The burns had vanished, her skin as unmarred as if silver had never sullied her. But she knew better. She had experienced the pain, the torture. She had been tied up, powerless to struggle, could hardly breathe as her captors smothered her.And now?She was free.As she steadied herself, her breath came out in slow measured exhales. Lucian had run. Lucian had run from her. This man, who had tormented her, who had taken pleasure in her pain, had seen into her eyes and ran.Why?The question twisted tight in her mind, but just as she was able to settle into it, footsteps sounded in the corridor beyond.They were coming.Think, Jessica. Think fast.Her body may have healed, but she wasn’t naïve enough to believe she was invincible. Not yet. Whatever power had set her free, whate
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 71
Chapter 71: The Trap We Never Saw ComingEmerging from the dense thicket of woodland, bursting through brush, my objective flashed through my mind, in a sing song sort of chant, skull, skull, skull. Kade was standing next to me, his fingers clenched around my wrist, his body rigid and prepared for anything. Elias trailed closely, his customary smirk replaced by grim concentration. The rogue Alpha, Maddox, hovered just outside of range, his icy gaze scanning the trees as if he were expecting a brawl.Because something felt off.The air too still, the forest too quiet. My wolf paced restlessly under my skin, her instincts prickling with that special kind of warning that got the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end.I swallowed hard. “Something’s wrong.”Kade nodded, his silver gaze sliding over to me. “I know. Keep moving.”But the feeling just got worse.With every step we took, the discomfort tightened like a spring in my belly.We were stepping into something, and it has felt
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 70
Chapter 70: Giving In To FateUnlike most of the time though—I was half the way through the black sticky forest when I felt the knot between Kade and me, deluging the space with the pulse of connection, thick and unyielding. Whenever I walked away, it pulled me back. It was all I ever wanted, and every time I tried to shove it down, to ignore it, the damn thing flared hotter, burning up my veins like wildfire. I hated it. Hated how my body reacted to him, hated how my wolf purred in response to his presence, how she wanted him regardless of what he was.Elias must have felt it, too, because he sighed dramatically behind us. “So, are we all just not going to acknowledge how you two are giving off enough sexual tension to burn this whole forest down, or —”“Elias,” I snapped, my patience already threadbare.“What? All I’m saying is, if you two don’t deal with this, like, soon, I’m going to have to step in and —”A growl ripped through Kade’s throat so fast, so savagely, that Elias actua
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 69
Chapter 69: Bound in Blood and FlameWe doubled up and ran through the very green forest, the plants meeting us and loosening up. It was sharp air, full of damp earth and pine, the wind cutting through my cloak as we staggered toward the unknown.We’d been running for hours at a punishing speed, which I didn’t mind at all. Every second I spent was another second closer to losing my kids.Kade jogged next to me, his silver eyes raking the shadows for threats. He made no sound, just concentrated, but I could sense him， a fire licking my skin. The mate bond throbbed between us, raw and undeniable, a tie neither of us had asked for but could no longer ignore.Elias matched me on my other side, the usual smirk gone. Even he knew the stakes now. The rogue Alpha—who’d finally introduced himself as Maddox—lagged just behind, studying us with inscrutable eyes.The tension was thick. We all knew what we were getting ourselves into.But we did not speak it openly.Not yet.The Moment the World C
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 68
Chapter 68: Tethered by Destiny, Severed by DesireKade’s utterance lingered between us, dense with unvoiced weight. Come back with me. Three little words, and yet they pierced like a knife to the ribs. My pulse thundered in my ears as I fought to suppress the heat in my chest, ignore the primitive fire burning all the more brightly in his silver gaze. I had run from one betrayal to another for years, had spent my entire life knowing how to survive without depending on anyone. Now fate was brazen enough to gift me a second mate? And not just anyone—Kade. An Alpha. A man I couldn’t afford to let into my life.I clenched my fists. “You do not get to demand this of me.”Kade’s jaw ticked. “No right? Jessica, you disappeared. No warning. No explanation. You gift me with a pack council on my heels defending you as you marched straight into rogue territory armed with a fucking dagger and nothing else but your stubbornness.”“I didn’t ask you to defend me,” I hissed, my voice slicing the air
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 67
Chapter 67: Into the Lion’s DenAs we drew closer to the river, the noise of rushing water grew louder, the current filament weaving between dense foliage like a silver snake under the moon.As Elias and I passed through the bank, we looked around. The air was heavy with the smell of damp earth, pine, and something else — something unnatural.“We’re almost there,” I gasped, the adrenaline surging.Humming, Elias rubbed the back of his neck. “Yeah. Too close.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”He shot me a look. “I mean, we’ve been walking through rogue territory for hours, and no one’s tried to kill us yet.”I exhaled. “You sound disappointed.”Elias smirked. “Not disappointed. Just… suspicious.”I didn’t blame him.Rogues weren’t the sitting-waiting kind. If they knew we were coming — and I had no doubt they did — then why hadn’t they revealed themselves?I glanced at the area again, my wolf stirring under my skin.Something wasn’t right.As I stepped forward, a deep voice came from the
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 66
Chapter 66: On the Road to the UnknownThe fire was low, crackling quietly in the still night. The weight of exhaustion lay against my bones, but sleep just wouldn’t. Not when my brain wouldn’t shut up.Not when I saw my children’s faces every time I closed my eyes.Elias had settled easily into the rhythm, gazing into the flames with a dazed sort of concentration, but I could tell he wasn’t entirely at ease either. He was waiting. Watching. Not for threats — though those would surely come — but for me.He was there waiting for me to crack.I wouldn’t want to give him the satisfaction.Instead, I curled in tight at the knees and looked into the darkness past the firelight. The forest surrounding us was silent, but it was a deceptive kind of silence. The kind that listened.That waited.“We should leave at first light,” Elias murmured, breaking the stalemate of silence.I exhaled. “Agreed.”“Unless, of course, you’ve suddenly decided to head back.”I shot him a sharp look. “You know th

Chapter 65: A Mother's SacrificeThe fire crackled quietly and threw fluttering shadows on the trees. The night was quiet but my mind was anything but.I sat with my back to a fallen log, my cloak tightened around me, the flames dancing in my eyes. The heat barely reached the chill lodged deep in my chest.Because I allowed myself to think of them for the first time in days.My babies.My heart squeezed painfully at the vision of their little faces; I curled my fists.Their smell was still fresh in my mind — soft, new, unhindered by the world. The way they curled into me while they slept, the way their little hands grabbed for me outside of their understanding of what was happening.And I had left them.I had left them.Some nights, the guilt was unbearable.Like now.“Elias moved next to me, eyes fixed and unreadable on the fire. He had been quiet for some time, but I could feel his curiosity, how he was waiting for me to say something.I exhaled slowly. “They’re safe.”Elias looked
