Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 83
Chapter 83 – The Reckoning BeginsThe voice that came from the stone circle was unlike anything Jessica had ever heard. It wasn’t just loud or big: There was something ancient about it, laced with deep centuries of power and malice. The echoes of each syllable rolled through the valley, rattling the ground they stood upon and sending shivers of uncertainty through their ranks.“Enough games. The reckoning begins now.”First, dimness enveloped them, fuzzy, and then darkness, and then those words echoed, resonating around them, the space seeming to warp, twist, around them, leaving reality off-kilter. Shadows poured from the stone circle, pooling together to take the form of a figure, one cloaked in the very dark itself. Its eyes glinted with molten gold, and they tore through the tongs of twilight, locking onto Jessica without hesitation.“Well,” said Selene, with all of her usual aplomb faltering just slightly as she stepped back cautiously. “This complicates things.”Jessica inhaled

Chapter 84 – The Path to SanctuaryThe map drifted in space, shimmers along its fringe, as if it had a pulse. The word “Sanctuary” glimmered faintly at its center, calling to them as if it were siren’s song. In its midst sprawled a network of paths and markers etched with arcane symbols, forewarnings of dangers unseen.Jessica gazed at it, her head churning. All her instincts screamed at her to go—to follow the map, and see what secrets festered within the so-called refuge. But what gnawed at her insides was the warning underneath it in blood-red letters stark against a parchment-like surface."Trust no one."She looked about her friends: Kade, Lucas, Selene—and even the ghost of Bryan, which felt like a specter on the other side of the curtain. Who among them was someone she could really depend on? And who would turn on her when the stakes were raised too high?“Do we have a choice?” Kade asked finally, shattering the tense silence. His voice was steady, but his eyes were a window to

Chapter 1: The Last AnniversaryMy hands trembled as I stared at the third pregnancy test, the two pink lines unmistakable against the white plastic. Just like the other two tests scattered across my marble bathroom counter. After five years of trying, of monthly disappointments and tearful nights, our miracle was finally happening.I pressed my palm against my still-flat stomach, fighting back tears. *Our pup.* The wolf inside me purred with contentment, already fiercely protective of the tiny life growing within. "Alpha Female Jessica?" Maria's voice carried through the door. "The ceremonial preparations are complete."I quickly swept the tests into my drawer. "Coming!" The anniversary celebration could wait. Tonight, after the pack gathering, I'd tell Bryan everything. I imagined his golden eyes lighting up, his strong arms lifting me in joy. Five years of trying had strained our bond, but this would make everything perfect again.The great hall buzzed with activity as pack member

Chapter 2: Shattered PiecesThe steady beep of hospital monitors pulled me from darkness. Everything hurt – my body, my pride, my heart. But my first conscious thought went straight to my stomach.*Please*, I prayed, trying to move my hands. They felt like lead. *Please let my baby be okay.*"Don't move." A nurse's firm grip on my shoulder. "You've been in and out for three days. The pups are stable."Pups. Plural.My eyes flew open, vision blurry but focusing on the nurse's sympathetic face. "What did you say?""Twins," she said softly. "We almost lost all three of you, but your wolf... well, I've never seen maternal instincts that strong. You transformed while unconscious, created a protective cocoon around your stomach. Saved their lives."Twins. Bryan's twins. The irony almost made me laugh, but it came out as a sob instead. He'd thrown away not just me, but three lives. All for his precious pack status.The door opened, and Adam slipped in, looking like he hadn't slept in days. H

Chapter 3: Blood TiesSandra's hand never made it to my IV line. The syringe clattered to the floor as both of us froze at the sound of shattering glass. Through the broken window, a massive white wolf landed in my hospital room, fangs bared."Step away from my daughter."The words didn't come from the wolf, but from the doorway where a woman stood – elegant, powerful, with eyes exactly like mine. My birth mother. The Rivera Pack Alpha.But Sandra just smiled."Right on time, Elena." She pulled out her phone, showing a live video feed. "Your rescue plan was so predictable. That's why Bryan's already at the council meeting... with your son."My... what?"I have a brother?" The monitors spiked with my shock.Elena's face went ash-white. "How did you—""Find your precious heir-in-hiding?" Sandra's laugh was bitter. "Let's just say Bryan's not the only one who's good at keeping secrets. Speaking of secrets..." She turned to me. "Did you know your precious advisor Adam has been working for

Chapter 4: New Heartbeats"I need a gurney at the emergency entrance! Multiple premature delivery!" Through the haze of pain and exhaustion, I registered unfamiliar voices as EMTs rushed me into Saint Mary's Hospital. Three hours of white-knuckled ambulance ride had left me drained, but my babies were fighters. They'd held on."BP's dropping," someone called out. "Get Dr. Mitchell!""No," I managed to gasp. "Dr. Carter. I need Dr. Carter."The EMT squeezed my hand. "Dr. Carter's the best NICU specialist in the city, but he's not on call tonight—""I'm here." A deep voice cut through the chaos. "Move aside, please."Even through my pain-clouded vision, the man who stepped up to my gurney took my breath away. Tall, with kind eyes and surgical scrubs that did nothing to hide his athletic build. But it was his scent that made my wolf stir – pine needles and rain and something wildly familiar.His hands stilled on my chart. I knew he'd caught my scent too.*Mate.*"I'm Dr. Ethan Carter,"

Chapter 5: Fight or FlightIn the darkness, my twins' cries pierced through every maternal instinct I had. My body screamed in post-delivery pain, but my wolf was ready to fight. Twenty minutes old, and I was already failing to keep them safe."Give them to me," Ethan whispered, his warmth close in the pitch black. "You can barely stand.""I can't—" My voice broke. "I can't let them go.""Jessica." His hand found mine. "You're hemorrhaging. I can smell it. Let me help."The emergency lights flickered on, casting everything in an eerie red glow. I saw myself in the window's reflection – pale, sweating, hospital gown soaked with blood. Some protector I was turning out to be.A crash echoed from the hallway. Getting closer."Doc!" The wolf from earlier – Mark, according to his badge – slipped in. "They're using human police now. Claiming child endangerment. They've got custody papers with Bryan's signature."Of course they did. Trust Bryan to use the human legal system when pack law fail

Chapter 6: No Way OutThe steady beeping of the heart monitors matched the rhythm of my pulsing. The air in the hospital room had become thick, choking with tension. The expression on Bryan’s face was a mask of shock, his hands shaking still, hovering just inches away from the medical chart. Sandra forced her eyes open as if denying the truth that was staring right back at her, but no word had left her lips.Every syllable was tinged with urgency as Mark’s voice crackled across the thick silence. “Jessica, we have to move. Now.”I could hear the commotion outside: the shuffle of hurried feet, the crackle of radios, the unmistakable growl of wolves almost held back from attacking. They weren’t waiting. The Rivera enforcer had come, and he was not alone. If I didn’t get out of here in the next few minutes, this hospital would be a battlefield.Ethan tightened his hold on the wheelchair and the bundle in my arms, his free hand sliding protectively over the twins. “She’s hemorrhaging,” he

Chapter 82 – The Echo of Shadows The howl lingered in the air like a shard of broken glass, sharp and unrelenting. It wasn’t just the sound that sent chills down Jessica’s spine—it was the weight behind it, the raw emotion cutting through the stillness of the forest. Bryan’s voice had always been steady, grounded. But this… this was something else entirely. A cry born of pain, longing, and something darker—something unhinged. Jessica froze in the doorway, her fingers tightening around the frame as if bracing herself against an unseen force. Beside her, Kade stiffened, his wolf stirring beneath his skin. Even Selene, who rarely betrayed any sign of unease, paused mid-step, her gaze locked on the treeline. “Was that—” Lucas began, his voice barely above a whisper. “Yes,” Jessica interrupted sharply, her tone laced with tension. “It was him.” Kade turned to her, his expression grim. “What does he want?” “I don’t know,” she admitted, her voice trembling despite her best effort
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 81
Chapter 81 – The Silver Stranger The light was blinding, searing through Jessica’s vision like a supernova. She stumbled back, shielding her eyes with one hand while clutching her children protectively with the other. Her heart thundered in her chest, each beat echoing like a war drum as the figure stepped closer, their presence commanding every ounce of her attention. “I believe I can help with that,” the stranger repeated, their voice resonating with an ethereal calm that somehow felt both soothing and unnerving. When the brilliance finally dimmed, Jessica lowered her arm cautiously, squinting to make out the figure’s features beneath the hood of their silver robes. Their face was obscured by shadow, but their staff—a towering artifact etched with glowing runes—pulsed steadily, casting an otherworldly glow over the clearing. “Who are you?” she demanded, her voice trembling despite her attempt to sound strong. The figure tilted their head slightly, as though amused by her q

Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 80
Chapter 80 – The Phantom’s Gambit The forest was eerily silent as Jessica and her makeshift group moved through the underbrush, their steps heavy with exhaustion and unease. Dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and crimson, but the beauty felt hollow against the weight of what they’d just endured. Every snapped twig or rustling leaf made them flinch, their nerves frayed to the breaking point. Jessica carried her children carefully, their small forms limp in her arms. They hadn’t woken yet, and though she could feel their steady heartbeats against her chest, panic still gnawed at her insides. What had been done to them? Would they recover—or worse, would they remember? Kade walked beside her, his presence a quiet anchor in the storm raging within her mind. His injuries were superficial—bruises and scrapes—but the haunted look in his eyes mirrored her own turmoil. He hadn’t said much since the fortress collapsed, but his silence spoke volumes. Behind them trailed Lucas and Selen
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 79
Chapter 79 – The Breaking Point The moment Kade stepped into the crumbling fortress, he felt it—the oppressive weight of power radiating from Jessica like heat off a wildfire. Her transformation was complete, her hybrid nature unleashed in its rawest form. Golden light pulsed around her like a second skin, illuminating the chaos: shattered walls bleeding crimson, frost spreading across the floor, and the shadowy figure recoiling as though burned. But it wasn’t just her appearance that had changed—it was her presence. The air itself seemed to bow before her, charged with an energy so primal it made his wolf bristle in both awe and fear. And then there were her eyes—once warm and familiar, now glowing with an otherworldly intensity that pierced through him like daggers. “Stay back,” she growled, her voice layered with echoes, as if her own soul had fractured into a chorus of voices. “Or I’ll kill you too.” Kade froze, torn between instinct and reason. Every fiber of his being sc
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 78
Chapter 78 – The Bleeding Walls The voice slithered through the air like smoke, wrapping itself around Jessica’s throat and squeezing until her breath hitched. It wasn’t just the words—it was the weight behind them, heavy with malice and power. She recognized it immediately, though she’d never heard it aloud before. This was no ordinary presence; this was something ancient, something primal. “Who are you?” Jessica demanded, her voice trembling despite her best efforts to sound strong. Her father chuckled darkly, his eyes glinting with a cruel satisfaction as he gestured toward the shadows pooling at the edges of the room. From the darkness emerged a figure cloaked in black, its form shifting unnaturally, as if it were made of liquid shadow. Its face—if it could be called that—was featureless, save for two glowing red slits where eyes should have been. “I am what you’ve feared most,” the figure said, its voice layered with echoes, as though countless voices spoke in unison. “I
Chasing my Luna CHAPTER 77
Chapter 77 – The Voice Within The voice hit Jessica like a thunderclap, jolting her to her core. It wasn’t just the sound of Bryan’s voice that startled her—it was the clarity, the raw emotion behind it. He sounded as real as if he were standing beside her, his breath warm against her ear. But that was impossible. Bryan was dead. She had mourned him, buried him in her heart, and carried his memory with her through every trial since. Yet here he was, speaking to her as though no time had passed at all. “Remember who you are, Jessica. Don’t let them change you.” Her knees buckled, and she stumbled back, clutching her head. Around her, the monstrous hybrids prowled, their glowing eyes fixed on her with an unsettling intensity. Selene watched silently, her expression unreadable, while Lucas hovered nearby, torn between concern and confusion. “What is it?” Lucas asked urgently, gripping her arm. “What’s wrong?” Jessica shook her head, trying to steady herself. “Did you hear tha
