Chapter 10: Approaching Through
Last Updated:
2024-11-05 16:54:01The days melted together in a workout schedule, tiredness, and knowledge of her strength developing. Aria would meet Lucas in the training fields every morning, where he would push her to her limits and challenge her to face the power within her that she hardly knew. Both physically and psychologically, the task was taxing, but Aria could feel her self transforming. She was becoming more confident and powerful, yet every step she was tormented by the residual anxiety of maybe losing control once again.
It was more than simply physical might, Lucas had stated. It concerned discipline—mental clarity and emotional equilibrium. Those were the means to release her actual ability. She still had a part of her that resisted, even as she got more in touch with the vitality running through her.
Her wolf, the soul component linked to her own core, was agitated, as if it sensed something still lacking.
Lucas stopped Aria mid-exercise one morning after an

The days went rapidly after Aria's breakthrough in underlining her Luna power control. She exercised more every morning, stretching her body and mind to the utmost. Her inner raw energy was no more an uncontrolled force; she could feel it bending to her will in response to her orders. She still didn't comprehend a lot, however, and with every stride forward she could feel the storm building over the horizon—Viktor's unavoidable path.True to his promise, Lucas watched over her training closely. Viewing her critically, he corrected her form where needed and provided direction when she stumbled. Aria could feel the strain hiding just under the surface even as he seemed calm and assured. He was getting ready for something huge.Aria spotted Lucas waiting for her close to the edge of the garden one evening after another exhausting training session.

Fate’s Hidden Luna: When Rejection Awakens the Wolf Within Chapter 12: Preventive Attack
Tension permeated the air as Aria stood in Lucas's study, his words weighing down on her. Viktor was organizing an assault, earlier than anybody had anticipated. She had known this day was approaching, but now that it was here the anxiety and doubt she had been ignoring surged back with great might."How quick?" With a tight voice that hardly covered her anxiety, Aria questioned.Lucas looked at Roland, standing beside him, his countenance stern. Though the precise moment is unknown, it will be within the next few days. He has been assembling his armies, supernatural as well as human, and they are ready for action.In her chest Aria's heart hammered. "His objective is what? Is that us?Lucas's jaw tightened, anger darkening his gaze. Not yet is what we know. Although he is keeping his preparations tight, we have enough overheard conversation to indicate he is poised to act. We are unsure about the estate, the council, or another site as well. We have to become ready for the worst.Ari

The getting ready for battle moved quickly. The news of Kael's attack had rocked the council, and even if the partnership with the other groups was strong for now, fragility permeated everything. Aria knew it wouldn't take much more for the unity she had battled so hard to disintegrate entirely. Her own was fraying at the margins.The council labored nonstop in the days following the invasion to equip its troops. Messages were sent to the other factions asking them to unite against the Bloodstone Clan's escalating threat; scouts were deployed to gather intelligence on Kael's movements.Surrounded by maps and papers, Aria stood in the war room and her mind flew as she examined the circumstances. Though rumors persisted that Kael was gathering more warriors from friendly factions, his forces were concentrated around the eastern border, where the attack had taken place. Should they slow down, he could soon possess sufficient force to start a major attack.Lucas arrived in the room with a
Fate’s Hidden Luna: When Rejection Awakens the Wolf Within Chapter 13: In-person Face to Face
Time seemed to pause as Aria fixed her gaze on the guy obstructing her path out. Standing towering and commanding, Viktor looked to be a black cloud sucking all the breath out of the room. He was wearing a sleek black suit, and his hard, analytical eyes locked on her with the intensity of a predator measuring its target. The turmoil all around them vanished for a minute, and all Aria could hear was her pulse beating in her ears.She had never been this near to Viktor before, and seeing him chilled her spine. His reputation preceded him; Lucas had made it quite evident that Viktor was dangerous, merciless, ready to do anything it needed to achieve his objectives. And he was now positioned between her and the only way out.Though Viktor's lips curved into a grin, it lacked warmth. "Ah, Aria. At last we get together.With her muscles tensing as Aria tightened her hold on the knife in her palm, she was ready for anything. Though she wasn't sure if she

The warehouse seemed empty, the weight of the recently fought conflict filling the air. Aria stood next to Lucas; her body hurt from the battle, but her thoughts kept racing. Though they had survived the night, Viktor had slipped through their hands and his threat stayed in the back of her mind like a black cloud never going away.Lucas turned to face her, his hand laying lightly on her shoulder. His touch was gentle, consistent, unlike the anarchy they had lately. His eyes looked at hers, full of both relief and something deeper—something she couldn't quite identify."You did well, Aria," Lucas murmured gently, his voice a subdued comfort. " Better than I could have expected."Aria shook her head, still mentally revisiting the events before Viktor's escape. I ought to be able to stop him. He was standing in front of me, and I was unable to act."You did everything you could," Lucas said, his eyes softening. Though Viktor is deadly, yo
Fate’s Hidden Luna: When Rejection Awakens the Wolf Within Chapter 15: Opening the Uncertain Future
Aria had always understood she was unique. Ever since she had first become her wolf as a teenager, she had experienced a stirring of strength deep inside her that others seemed to lack. She had never, however, really known what that meant. She was at last ready to face whatever was buried within her, after Viktor's insults and Lucas's demand that they find the truth.The brawl at the warehouse had occurred couple days ago. Though Aria's body still showed the marks of the conflict, her mind was restless and tormented with doubt about her abilities. The other council members had left the estate to collect information on Viktor's next action, therefore rendering it quieter. Lucas, however, had kept close by her side, as if he sensed a shift about to occur.Aria was alone in the training area that evening; the chilly night air enveloped her like a shroud. Her eyes locked on the black sky, the moon streaming down in a delicate silver light, she stood at the mi

Aria's breakthrough came after days of relentless preparation. Training sessions with Lucas became more intense, their emphasis moving from control to mastery. Aria had reached a deeper strength within her that linked her to the ground, the moon, and her own pack. But with that power comes responsibility; they both knew Viktor wouldn't wait very long to act.Lucas had been right: something changed the minute Aria discovered that new degree of her Luna ability. The whole air seemed to have transformed, pulsing with vitality. Like the stillness before a storm, Aria could feel it in her bones, in her pulse, a subtle hum of expectation.Viktor's next action would only be a question of time.Aria felt someone coming one evening as she stood outdoors in the courtyard learning to harness her strength beneath the moon's silver light.

She had been getting ready for this, the time she would at last meet the guy who had tormented her thoughts for so long. Viktor waited in the shadows, his towering form covered in black, yet his icy gaze radiated clear expectation.Though the night was peaceful, Aria could feel the raw force pulsating from Viktor—an energy that sent shivers down her spine under calm. He was something darker, more deadly than she had anticipated, not just a guy with aspirations."I've been waiting for this moment, Aria," Viktor murmured, his voice silky and somewhat mocking. "You really have no idea who you are. The potential you have squandered under Lucas's care.Aria's intellect sharp and concentrated as her jaw clinched and she grabbed the hilt of her blade. I know just precisely who I am. And I refuse le

Once a battlefield, the area now teemed with the noises and sights of reconstruction. She inhaled deeply, appreciating the peace, yet a residual stress kept her on edge. Lucas came from behind, his feet hardly audible above the faint crunch of leaves. His voice low, almost a whisper, he replied, "We have a lead."

The war was over, but the work was only just beginning. The camp was abuzz with activity as Aria’s people began the process of rebuilding—mending broken walls, planting new fields, and trying to bring back some sense of normalcy. There was a sense of hope, but also a sense of uncertainty. The scars left by the war ran deep, and the people were still learning how to trust again, how to live without fear.Aria moved through the camp, her presence a steadying force. She offered a kind word here, a helping hand there, her gaze always scanning for those who seemed lost or overwhelmed. She knew that her people looked to her for guidance, and she was determined to lead them toward a better future.As she reached the training grounds, she paused, her eyes catching sight of a group of young warriors practicing their drills. Their movements were stiff, their faces filled with a mixture of exhaustion and determination. Aria felt a pang of sympathy as s

As Aria and her soldiers crossed the woodland, the sky was a deep blue-gray, the first indicators of darkness slinking across the horizon. Once more on the road, they were headed for Elena's base. The data from the enigmatic stranger presented them with a chance—a chance to strike Elena most vulnerable. Though it was a gamble, it was their best opportunity to bring about peace.The trip was stressful; every stride brought Elena closer to her core of power. Aria's eyes swept the ground ahead while her heart hammered with expectancy. The map had given them a secret road into the stronghold, one across the mountains that would let them circumvent most of Elena's fortifications. Though it was dangerous, if they could pull it off Elena would be surprised.Lucas moved next her, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. He nodded slightly, his gaze focused with will. Aria, we are ready for this. We have been training for this exactly. Whatever transpires,

Aria faced Elena as the chamber filled with the clashing of blades echoed each hit on the stone walls. Elena's emotionless face was unnerving, her eyes closed as she deftly avoided Aria's attacks with trained accuracy. Aria felt every effect travel up her arm, the weight of their common past weighing down her with every stroke. This clash marked the end of years of struggle, suffering, and sacrifice, not only a fight.Aria, do you truly believe you could win? Elena teased, her voice full of contempt as she pushed back against Aria's knife. You have always been overly gentle. Too eager to find people's goodness.Aria gritted her teeth, fixed on Elena's face. "I fight for people, thus I see the good in people," she said, her voice full with will. "That's what Elena, you never grasped. There is nothing about power in this battle. It's about defending people unable of defending themselves.Elena laughed sharply and without amusement; her eyes gleamed. " Such noble w

The weight of their recent withdrawal was clearly on everyone, and the camp descended into a nervous quiet. Walking among her people, Aria looked from warrior to warrior. Their eyes revealed a mix of tiredness and will, a resilience that touched her heart with both pride and concern. Although Elena's army was unrelenting, they had fought heroically and now they had to figure another method to change the tide.Lucas was at her side, his presence helping her to ground herself among her thoughts. His voice calm and his eyes locked hers, "We're not defeated," he said. "Aria, this isn't the end. As we are still standing, we can keep fighting.Aria nodded and a tiny smile pulled at her lips. "You're correct." But we have to create a fresh strategy. Elena is becoming stronger, and we cannot continue allowing her define the parameters of this battle.Taryn came over, his face austere. "Luna, you have to see something," he whispered in a hushed voice. "One of our scouts came

As word of Elena's betrayal went across the camp, there was obvious conflict. The weight of the botched negotiations, the treachery that had turned hope into ashes, could be felt by the troops, the scouts, even the young children. With fists closed at her sides and eyes fixed on the resolute faces all around her, Aria stood before her council.Enough of peace negotiations, Lysandra remarked with a harsh voice. "Elena has made her intentions quite clear; we cannot afford to give her another chance to fool us."Roland nodded in accord, his eyes shining with a great will. "We have to fight for her so she may see she cannot control us.."Taryn looked steadily, his voice quiet but firm. "We have enough information to locate several of her camps.

They had offered an olive bra

There was a frenzy of nervous preparations and whispered discussions in the camp during the days that followed. Through her people, Aria moved, her presence unwavering, her words uplifting. She was aware better than to let her guard down, even while the prospect of reconciliation with Elena was heavy on her mind. Even in peace talks, trusting the enemy was a risky gamble—a risk she was unwilling to take.As her confidant and guardian, Lucas remained close by her side.

Aria and her selected party were getting ready to depart the camp when the sun had hardly risen above the horizon. There was a nervous silence in the air, every person moving deliberately. The stakes were obvious: either a trap that would cost them everything or a possible end of the war. Breathing deeply, Aria fastened her sword to her side and looked one last time across the camp before turning toward Lucas and Lysandra.Lucas nodded gently, his eyes locked with hers. "We're ready for this, Aria." Whatever transpires, we are ready.Aria nodded back, her heart bursting with hope mixed with terror. She looked at Lysandra, who stood close by, her face set with will.
