Luna's Fall The Queen's Rise Chapter 13: Cora's Capture
Ryan was still searching for the so called Queen, he wouldn't dare go back to the park without bringing the queen over.The night air was thick with the scent of pine, the cool breeze rustling through the trees as Ryan made his way through the woods, his boots barely making a sound on the damp earth. The trees whispered their secrets, casting long shadows in the dim light of the waning moon. He was alone, save for the girl he had tracked down, but her presence felt oddly heavy in the air.It had started with rumors—whispers of a girl, a strange child with visions, who could see the future, could sense things that others couldn’t. Most dismissed it as superstition, nothing more than another tale to scare the weak. But Ryan had learned to trust his instincts. And his instincts told him that something was amiss. Something bigger than they understood.Cora. That was her name.Ryan had found her just outside a small village near the edge of their territory. She was sitting alone by a fire,

~Eight PM~When they arrived at the darkened castle, the heavy gates creaked open before them. Cora was thrown into the stone corridors with little care, and she was forced to walk, her arms bound behind her, the rough ropes digging into her skin.“I told you this wasn’t going to end well for you,” Ryan said in a low voice, his footsteps echoing behind her as he led her through the labyrinthine halls. His words dripped with contempt, but beneath it, she could hear the uncertainty. He was scared. He was scared of the girl, the prophecy, the power she held. He had no idea what kind of danger he had just invited into his life.---Rowan’s chamber was dark, the air thick with the weight of power. His back was turned as he stared into the fire, the flickering light casting grotesque shadows across his sharp features. The fire reflected in his cold eyes, but it was nothing compared to the storm that raged beneath the surface.Ryan led Cora into the room, shoving her to the ground at Rowan’s

Ryan’s grip tightened, his eyes dark with anger. “You don’t understand, do you? I’m not asking you to betray anyone. I’m asking you to tell me the truth. Who is the Queen? Who is the one who’s going to destroy everything I’ve built? I need to know.”Cora’s mind raced. She couldn’t reveal Seraphina. Not now. Not ever. If she did, everything would be lost and Seraphina would be killed. Rowan would hunt her down, and there would be no stopping him. No one could stand against him.The future of all the packs lies in Cora's hands now.“You’ll never get the answer you want,” she said, her voice trembling, but defiant. “Seraphina is stronger than you think. She’s the Queen. And you can’t stop her.”Ryan’s face twisted with rage. “You think she’s the Queen? You think she’s the one who’s going to rise up against us? You’re just a girl with a few visions. You know nothing.”Cora’s eyes flickered with a sudden flash of understanding. The truth. The terrible, unthinkable truth. Rowan had no idea

~NINE PM~Cora stayed rooted to the spot, her chest heaving as the door slammed shut again. She could hear him walking away, his footsteps heavy and measured.And then—silence.The silence was worse than anything. The pain, the fear, the tension—they were nothing compared to this stillness. She was alone. Trapped. Helpless.Her body ached. She could feel the bruises already blooming along her neck where Ryan had gripped her, but her heart was heavier. He couldn’t know. No one could. Not Seraphina.She heard them, the cries of those who had come before her, those who had been broken. Those who had surrendered to Rowan’s will. She wouldn’t be one of them. She couldn’t. Not for Seraphina. Not for the Queen.~In the main large chamber of his pack, Rowan sat at his massive desk, his fingers steepled before him as he watched the fire crackle in the hearth. His thoughts were dark, his mind never still. He had been the Alpha for years, building an empire from nothing, solidifying his place a

~Seraphina's Pov~Seraphina sat on the worn wooden bench by the hearth, her gaze flicking to the clock every few minutes. The rhythmic tick-tock filled the room, each passing second dragging her further into a quiet, gnawing worry. It was nearly midnight now. Cora had promised she would be home by dark, and it had long since passed.Her fingers twitched, her heart uneasy. Something didn’t feel right. The stillness of the room was deafening, the silence too thick. It was as if the world had gone still, holding its breath in anticipation of something dreadful.She stood abruptly, pushing the chair back with a creak that echoed through the house. The fire crackled weakly in the corner, casting long, flickering shadows that danced on the walls. Seraphina walked across the room, the tension building in her chest. She had a sinking feeling that something was terribly wrong.Grabbing her cloak from the coat hook by the door, she pulled it over her shoulders. She didn’t know why—she didn’t nee

~Serphina's Pov~And then, like a cold wind sweeping over her, the horror of the realization hit her with full force. Rowan. Ryan. They had done this. It had to be them.Seraphina’s breath came in slow and short gasps as her eyes darted around the clearing, her heart pounding in her chest.The pieces of the puzzle began to click together in her mind, and each one filled her with an ever-deepening rage.She knew Rowan had always been after her, ever since she was a child but she could never imagined that they got hold of her sister. She had known that. But he had taken it further. Far further than she could have ever imagined. He had killed Cora. Killed her sister, the one person she loved above all else.Seraphina’s fingers clenched into fists, her nails biting into her palms as she fought to contain the fury that surged within her. No one could do this. No one could hurt Cora like this and get away with it. Not Rowan. Nor his accomplices.She would make them pay. She would make them f

The wind howled around her, pushing the rain harder against her skin, but Seraphina didn’t flinch. She couldn’t. Not now. The ground finally gave way beneath her efforts, and the hole deepened. It was only then, when she had made enough space to gently lay Cora’s body to rest, that Seraphina allowed herself to pause. She gazed down at her sister’s lifeless form, her heart ripping in two at the sight.The woman who had always stood beside her, who had protected her when they were children, who had been her one constant in this cruel world… was gone. Her only family was gone, and there was no one left to turn to.Tears blurred Seraphina’s vision, but she wiped them away quickly, her face set in grim determination. The world may have taken Cora from her, but Seraphina would not let it claim her soul too. She would take everything from them—Rowan, Ryan, anyone who had a hand in her sister’s death. She would find a way to make them suffer.The rain continued to fall, but she didn’t care. I

~Seraphina’s feet barely touched the ground as she moved through the trees, her body stiff with exhaustion, her heart heavier than it had ever been. The world around her seemed distant, muted, as though everything had shifted into another plane, one where only the pain of her loss existed. Cora’s death still felt like a cruel joke she couldn’t escape from, a nightmare that played on repeat in her mind.But there was no time for grief now.Her hands, covered in the damp, sticky earth from the grave she had dug with trembling hands, clenched into fists. She had buried Cora. She had done it herself because no one else had cared enough to help her. Not even Rowan. Not even the pack. She could still hear his voice ringing in her ears from that day, the words cold and dismissive, an accusation that cut deeper than any blade.“You’re weak, Sera. You’ll never be good enough for the pack or the world. You couldn’t even protect your sister,so how are you going to fight on her behalf”The words

Luna's Fall The Queen's Rise Chapter 95
The wind howled through the dense forest, rustling the trees as dawn broke over the horizon. The sky bled shades of orange and pink, casting a golden glow over the dewdrops clinging to the grass.Seraphina sat by the riverbank, her knees drawn to her chest, watching the water ripple against the stones. Her fingers absently traced the curve of her stomach, a slow, steady smile forming on her lips.She had felt it—faint but unmistakable.Life.Her pup.Their pup.Kael’s scent drifted toward her before she heard his footsteps. He was cautious, quiet, still not used to approaching her without expecting a fight. But this was different.She turned before he could speak, her golden eyes locking onto his.Kael froze. “You’re smiling.” His voice was wary, laced with disbelief.Seraphina exhaled a soft laugh, shaking her head. “That’s a normal thing, you know.”Kael arched a brow. “Not for you.”Her smile widened. “Maybe that’s changing.”Something in his expression shifted—uncertainty melting

The forest was alive with whispers.The wind rustled through the trees, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant rain. My breath came fast, my pulse still erratic from our escape. Every step sent a sharp ache through my ribs, but I didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop.Kael moved beside me, his presence steady, his gaze sharp. He didn’t speak, but I could feel the weight of his thoughts pressing between us.We had escaped Varian. For now. But that didn’t mean we were safe.I glanced at Kael, his face half-lit by the rising sun. His jaw was tight, his movements tense. He wasn’t used to running—at least, not like this.“We need to find shelter,” he said finally, breaking the silence.I frowned. “Shelter? You realize we don’t have the luxury of stopping, right?”“You’re injured.”“I’m fine.”He shot me a look. “You were half-conscious five minutes ago.”I rolled my eyes. “I was dramatic five minutes ago.”Kael exhaled sharply, muttering something under his breath. “Stubborn.”I smirked. “You j

The first thing I noticed was the cold.It seeped into my bones, numbing the pain in my side where Kael’s blade had struck. My wrists ached from the silver shackles, burning against my skin. My head throbbed from whatever magic had knocked me out.But I was alive.Unfortunate for them.I cracked my eyes open, blinking against the dim torchlight. The stone walls around me were damp, lined with old runes that pulsed faintly. A prison.Footsteps echoed.I turned my head, forcing myself to stay still as the cell door creaked open.Kael stepped inside first. Behind him, Varian followed, moving like a king surveying his kingdom. His sharp, golden eyes locked onto me, filled with something dangerous.“You don’t look as dead as I expected,” Varian mused.I bared my teeth. “Disappointed?”Kael exhaled, rubbing the bridge of his nose like he had a headache. “Can we skip the part where you antagonize the person who holds your life in his hands?”I grinned. “Where’s the fun in that?”Varian chuckl

---Seraphina’s POVThe corridor was cold, damp, and far too quiet. My breath came in short bursts, my body screaming in protest with every step. But I moved, ignoring the sharp throb in my side. Mara was right behind me, her footsteps light but hurried.Kael led the way, moving like a shadow—quick, precise, eerily calm. He knew exactly where we were going. That should have reassured me. It didn’t.Mara leaned in, her voice barely a whisper. “Tell me again why we’re not stabbing him and running?”Kael didn’t even bother looking back. “Because I have the keys, and you don’t.”Mara made a face. “Smug bastard.”“Yeah,” I muttered. “That’s his whole thing.”Kael suddenly halted, pressing a hand to my stomach to stop me. Pain flared through my ribs, sharp enough to make me suck in a breath. He glanced at me—too quickly, too full of something dangerously close to concern—before shifting his attention forward.“Guards,” he murmured.Mara tensed. “How many?”“Two. Armed.”I exhaled through my

SeraphinaPain.That was the first thing I registered when I surfaced from the darkness. A deep, burning agony in my side, pulsing with every shallow breath I took. It was a constant, throbbing ache, reminding me that I was still alive. Unfortunately.The second thing was voices. Low, distant murmurs threading through my hazy thoughts.“…should have been more careful.”“I got the shot in, didn’t I?”“You nearly killed her.”“She’ll live.”Their words floated around me, barely registering through the fog of pain and exhaustion. My head lolled to the side, and I forced my eyes open, blinking against the dim torchlight. The room was blurry at first—just dark stone walls, shadows flickering across the damp floor.I shifted, or tried to. Something heavy and cold bit into my wrists and ankles. Chains.Well, that wasn’t good.I exhaled sharply, my throat dry and raw. “If you’re done talking about me like I’m not here, maybe one of you could be polite enough to tell me where the hell I am?”T

---“You’re bleeding.”I blinked, my vision still swimming from the exhaustion. Luca’s face hovered in front of mine, his brows furrowed.“It’s not my blood,” I muttered, wiping at my forehead and smearing more of the crimson mess across my skin.Mara snorted. “Yeah, that’s comforting.”Luca didn’t look amused. “You need to rest.”“I need to get out of here,” I shot back. “Then I’ll rest.”His jaw clenched. “Seraphina—”“Don’t start.” I pushed past him, ignoring the way my limbs screamed in protest. The Raven Clan was still behind us, and standing around debating my health wasn’t going to keep us alive.We moved in silence, our steps quick but cautious as we wove through the thick forest. The sounds of pursuit had faded, but that meant nothing. The Raven Clan didn’t make mistakes. If they weren’t right on our heels, it was because they wanted us to think we were safe.And I wasn’t about to fall for it.“Do you think they’ve given up?” Mara asked quietly.I scoffed. “Have they ever giv

She walked with them as they stepped outside. Seraphina’s vision blurred as the adrenaline that had fueled her through the fight began to drain from her body. The cool night air was a shock to her system, and the faint scent of damp earth and smoke filled her lungs. The battle had ended, but her own war was far from over.Luca didn’t slow down. His grip on her was firm, and though she was barely conscious, she could feel his resolve. He wasn’t going to let her fall behind, not now, not when they were so close to freedom. He kept moving, his warriors at his side, sweeping the area as they made their way toward the hidden exit from the compound.“I’m sorry, Luna,” Mara’s voice came from beside them, soft but filled with concern. “We didn’t—”“Don’t apologize,” Seraphina cut her off, her voice hoarse. “You did your part. All of you did.”Luca’s pace quickened. The sound of pursuit wasn’t far behind, but he was determined to get them out of the Raven Clan's grasp. The distant echoes of th

“We need to move,” she said, her tone urgent. She looked at the wounded scouts. “Can you fight?”One of the scouts, a woman named Mara, nodded, her face grim but resolute. “We’ll follow your lead, Luna.”Seraphina nodded once, then turned to the rest of her team. “We’re heading for the exit. Keep your eyes open. The Raven Clan won’t just let us walk out of here.”They moved quickly through the hallways, but the further they went, the more the tension in the air thickened. The sound of distant shouting reached their ears—someone had discovered the break-in."Stay close!" Seraphina commanded, her voice firm. “We’re not out of this yet.”Suddenly, a loud crash echoed through the corridors, followed by the rapid pounding of feet. More guards were coming.Seraphina’s warriors formed a defensive line in front of her, weapons drawn, ready for the fight. She could feel the pressure mounting, but she refused to let it show. Not now. Not when they were so close.“Luna, we can’t keep them at bay

Luca’s eyes narrowed as he weighed the situation. "We can't just rush in blindly, Seraphina. The mountains are treacherous, and if the Raven Clan has set up defenses—""We don’t have time for caution," Seraphina interrupted, her voice low and sharp. "Those scouts are counting on us. Every minute we waste, they’re one step closer to death."Luca clenched his jaw but didn’t argue. He understood the urgency just as well as she did. “Fine,” he said. “We’ll go in prepared. But we need reinforcements. And a strategy.”“I’ll lead a smaller group,” Seraphina suggested, her eyes flashing with determination. “We’ll move quickly, hit them hard. You stay back with the main force. If anything goes wrong, we’ll need you to coordinate the backup.”Luca hesitated for a moment, clearly torn. But in the end, he nodded. “I don’t like it, but I know you won’t back down.” He placed a hand on her shoulder, his grip firm, his gaze unwavering. “Just come back to me.”Seraphina looked up at him, her expressio
