Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 14: Slung by Fate
"Zaia, battle it!."Dax's words cut through the whirl of silvery light almost engulfing me. My imprint matched the deep, resonant hum filling the valley and burnt like molten fire. Closing in from all directions, shadows twisted and rebuilt in the mist.My knees collapsed and I gasped as force raced through me, too strong and uncontrolled. The voice answered once more—soft, familiar, and unrelenting."Zaia.... come home."Struggling to ground myself, I dug at the earth, but the magic pulled at my own essence and dragged me into the black core of the forest.Strong arms suddenly surrounded me, gently and powerfully anchoring me. "I have you," Dax said, his voice sharp yet consistent. "You are not walking away from me."As Dax's hands locked my arms, the turbulent magic inside me stilled, as if under his control. The deep hum stumbled for the shortest of seconds.I gasped and grabbed at him. "I am unable of controlling it... It's dragging me: "Dax said, "You're stronger than this," wit

"You believe I have fear of him?"Dax walked the edge of the clearing, his amber eyes shining with hardly controlled wrath, his voice a low, menacing growl. The far-off cry persisted in my thoughts, a terrible reminder that my history was creeping in quicker than I could have ready for it.Though my body still hurt, I straightened and pushed power into my voice. Dax, this is not about fear. It has to do with survival.His eye turned sharply and relentlessly to meet me. "I run from threats not from here.""Good," I corrected. Since we are not running this time.The scout moved forward, still pale from identifying Sebastian's wail. You have no idea what he is capable of.Coldly, memories of Sebastian's treachery ripping through me, I murmured, "I know exactly what he's capable of." But he is not the only one with authority these days.The scout faltered. He will not be alone if he finds you."Neither will I," I said decisively, looking at Dax. Though our disagreements, I could sense his

"You have been lying to me from right from start."Like a razor, sharp and relentless, my voice sliced over the silence. Calen, the Crescent Moon scout, stiffened his hand automatically towards his dagger but did not pull it. His shoulders were tight and he looked at me with well-guarded eyes."I told you what you needed to know," he stated evenly, but behind his cool exterior there was a little edge of remorse."Desired to know?" Despite my best attempts to stifle them, I progressed and flames fluttered weakly about my fingers. You said nothing; you knew about the Shadow Mother—about the prophecy.At my side Dax stood, his dark and enigmatic countenance barely visible, his claws only barely healed. "Start discussing right now."Calen breathed loudly, his jaw clenching. "I was acting according to instructions."Whose orders? I insisted.He paused for a split second long enough for me to see the truth in his eyes before he spoke. "Alpha Sebastian's."The air appeared to stop dead cold.

You mislead me.As I battled the terrible darkness constricting my limbs, my voice quipped with suppressed wrath. The frigid tendrils stole my breath by tightening. Over me stood the tall guy, a soulless puppet of the Shadow Mother's will with brilliant emerald eyes devoid of humanity.Dax's enraged howl ripped the air from behind me. Something slammed the ground violently, claws ripped through skin and bone snapped."Zaia!"— His desperate and determined voice thundered over the open."I'm here!" I gasped, calling out the last traces of my will. Not once again, I won't be useless.Furious and relentless, flames set ablaze over my arms tore across the black chains dragging me down. Driven by my fury—by my betrayal—they burned hotter than they had ever done.Just as another corrupted Sentinel rushed, its twisted claws ripping through the air, I sprang to my feet. I turned backwards and pounded my flame-wreathed fist into its breast. The collision broke its black armour, throwing shadows

"Did you really thought you could avoid me?"The voice, loaded with poison, had terrible attraction and twisted melody. Heart pounding, I wheeled in time to see Cassandra emerge from the shadows. Her long, midnight-black cloak billowed in the awful air; her emerald-green eyes sparkled with malignant joy.Dax warned me with a snarling defensive stride forward. His claws came wide, ready for fight."I should have known you were behind this," I said, flames flickering slightly around my hands. "Your methods won't apply to me going forward."Cassandra laughed bitterly, frigid and harsh. Mockingly cooing, "Oh, little Luna," she said, "I'm not here to play tricks." I am here to complete you.Before we could react, Cassandra waved her hands and black energy spun around her fingers like living shadows. The earth trembled and twisted, thorny vines rising from the ground blocked any avenue of escape.Stay near! Dax began to bark in a guarding stance.I summoned my flames, the heat becoming stro

"I have no need of saving."My body shook from Cassandra's curse still blazing under my skin as my words came out strained but strong as I fought against Dax's tight grasp. Silver fire threatened to devour me from inside as it surged crazily along the margins of my cursed mark.Dax closed his jaw. You are not doing this by yourself.I grumbled, getting to my feet despite the terrible agony in my chest, saying, "I didn't ask for your help." Though I refused to fall, every breath felt like carrying shattered glass fragments through my lungs.The wind howled, bearing the clear Alpha's call—Sebastian's voice, icy and forceful, resounding over the blackened woodland.Dax stood defensively next to me and burned protective wrath in his eyes. "He's on her way."We hurried over the woodland, anxiety pulsing between us like an unspoken promise. Every stride I made seemed weighty, the curse gripping bits of my power.Dax gave the gruff but worried command, "Zaia, stop."I twisted sharply.

Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 130: Atonement of the Rogue
Dax, you shouldn't come here.The words were like a warning borne on the air, a snarl in the dark as the renegade emerged from behind-cover. His damaged face twisted with bitterness maybe in addition to anger. Tension in the air around us, the type that may explode with the smallest provocation."And yet, here I am," Dax said in a calm but somewhat forceful voice. "I came to fix things."Beginning the chapter with Dax returning to the renegade pack he once called home in order to attempt to heal the broken bonds he left behind,The rogues are unfriendly and mistrustful; they hate him for leaving them in their most difficult years.You think we would just pardon you?One of them gave a growl. You played Alpha, then left us to wither.Dax embraces their accusations, giving himself as atonement without restrain from their anger.He answered their gaze, "I can't undo the past." But I can strive for all of us a brighter future.Returning to the Crescent Moon Pack, Zaia battles Dax's desire
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 129: Luna's Shadowful Reign
" If you question my rule, forward now and meet me."Every pair of eyes on me, my words floated over the crescent-shaped gathering space. Although the stubborn stillness that followed was deafening, I could feel the strain in the air—old questions, unresolved concerns, split loyalties just about to burst.Talk your mind, or stand with me; not a middle ground exists here; here is your opportunity. I mumbled, ready to let the flames run over my hands.The chapter opens with Zaia formally rising as Luna, a great celebration seen by her Crescent Moon Pack as well as the allied wolves.The moment is mixed because Zaia muses about the sacrifices that got her here and pledges to rule with compassion and might.Lyric put this crown on my head and I remarked, "This crown is not a sign of authority. It reminds us of our joint responsibilities."Rising in opposition, a group of former renegade wolves disputes Zaia's authority to rule even with a display of unity.The fighting is fierce and ends
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 128: A fresh start
Over, Zaia, over, or is it?The horizon promised a sun rising through the clouds, but Dax's comments reflected the question in my heart: caution as much as relief; the remains of battle still hung in the air."It's not over until we rebuild," I said softly as I turned to face the remnants of the alliance and that begins right now.Starting the chapter with Zaia and Dax tending to the survivors of the previous conflict, they inspire them to look forward despite the terrible losses they have suffered.Being able to balance her duty with the urge to motivate her team makes Zaia a remarkable leader.We have lost so much, I remarked, my voice resounding over the still assembly; yet, our power and solidarity will enable us forward.Finding her closest friends, Lyric and the Moonlit Wolves, Zaia shows thanks and strengthens her bonds.The moving reunions show the everlasting bonds created by their common struggle and the offered sacrifices.Lyric replied, his voice gentle: "You gave us a fut
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 127: Wolves beneath moonlit night
"Look up to the heavens, Zaia!{{{\{Dax's remarks ripped me out of my fantasy. I stopped and gazed up above. The moon hung strangely low in the sky, its silvery brightness bathing the woodland in dreamy light. Figures created by shadows on its surface were very realistic.Over the treeline Lyric whispered, "It's a warning." The moon is communicating to us.The chapter starts with the alliance seeing an inexplicable sight in the night sky as the moon looks closer than ever with its light throbbing like humanly.Zaia is very close to the moon; her mark responds with considerable power as if commanding her to back off.Whispering, clinging to my arm while the mark burned, "It's not just a warning." "It's a summons."Lyric tells the revered army of fighters selected by the moon goddess to guard her will the famous tale of the Wolves of the Moonlight.Zaia understands that the alliance must hunt these wolves—said to be the key to toppled the shadow leader.I continued, resolve stiffening m
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 126: Fangs of the Deleted
The following are "they."Lyric hardly whispered the terrible words as the darkness descended over the camp; their technique caused the earth to tremble and the terrible cries of creatures not meant for life to fill the air.Nobody crosses this line; I shouted, flames pouring from my palms as I turned to face the anarchy.The chapter opens in a brutal conflict as the shadow forces attack the camp of the alliance with quite great force.Zaia commands straight right now; her flames light the darkness as she lines the group.We have faced worse than this; my voice sliced over the din, "Together, we are capable of anything!""Zaia leads front; Dax utilises his strategic knowledge to outmanoeuvre the opponent on the defend.Their harmony is clear as every choice accentuates the aspects of the other."Guide them towards the northern peak! Dax roared, his voice loud among the commotion! Zaia, just now we need your fire right now!«Zaia notices her arm blazing hotter than before as the fight
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 125: Luna's Mark
"Zaia, this is spreading!""My pulse pounding as Dax's terrified scream broke the quiet of the evening, I jerked awake staring down my arm and saw the brilliant mark that had been a faint crescent now blazing over my flesh, twisted light spiral patterns like vines."What does this imply?" My voice shook as the heat of the mark flowed through me."Your fate is calling from the shadow."By the beginning of the chapter, Zaia finds her Luna's mark is shifting and glowing more brilliantly all over her body.Zaia has unresolved concerns regarding its relevance, yet the change produces a tremendous boost in strength."This isn't simply a mark anymore," I remarked, raising my arm, "it is... alive."According to trustworthy friend Elder Cassius, Zaia's ascent to a power Luna has never experienced marks a change in the mark.But he advises Zaia to be ready for challenges that would test her will as such power has a cost."The mark will guide you," Cassius murmured, eyes still full of both wonde
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 124: Love for a Mother
"Zaia, they have taken hers!"Dax's voice rocked the peace of the evening and made me shiver no flame could warm. The words sunk like daggers; my heart stopped.I said, "Who?" in a whisper, knowing immediately. The only response that would really terrify me this much.His voice shaky, he responded to Amara. "No one picks my child," I yelled, flames hotter than they have ever been. Not at all.As Zaia's single-minded protection of her daughter causes other members to doubt if they should give their resources to one kid, conflict ensues within the alliance.Dax is totally supporting Zaia and will not allow anybody undercut her will.Dax continued on, his voice dangerously low, "then you don't know what we're fighting for. If you think this refers only to her."Setting out to pursue the evil forces who kidnapped Amara across dangerous area and multiple assaults along the road were Zaia, Dax, and a few reliable companions.Even when the road tries Zaia's limitations, her will encourage
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapters 123: Harmony of the Pack
Fall backwards immediately; or lost everything!My voice emerged across the battlefield, demanding, persistent, even as the darkness surged towards us. The alliance was thinly stretched, its power towards the brink pushed. Their eyes turned to me, however, and I felt the flutter of hope I resisted let fly."We will not fall today." I sobbed, and flames sprang out of my palms. 'We stand!'"The chapter starts in the thick of conflict, the alliance pushed to its breaking point by continual shadow troops.Leading, Zaia once again inspires the groups' courage and determination by means of an emotive speech.I shed tears, my voice cutting through the anarchy: "They want us split". Still, they will come to recognise that group is our strongest suit.Dax strikes a clever counterattack; his strategic ideas and relentless presence inspire the men to hold their position.Working in perfect time, Zaia and Dax obviously exhibit their bond in every decision they both make." COVER THE Eastern flank
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 122: A Farewell Last Thought
Zaia, never tell me to stay behind.Dax spoke gently, however his eyes clearly showed a lot of feeling. The air thick with ash and the quiet sound of wind through the trees under the modest light of the sacred grounds.Words catching in my throat, I said, "I can't lose you." Not now—not when we are so close to the conclusion.Then don't push me away," he murmured, walking over. Either none at all or we call off jointly.As the coalition gets ready for the final fight, Zaia has to make a tough decision: should she lead the assault or remain behind to protect Dax and the pack?Her dual positions as Luna and partner push her to weigh her own wants against her responsibilities.My voice faltering, I said Dax, "They need me to lead," but I need you to be safe.Whispering, "I don't want safe," his fingers caressing mine "I wished you."Gathering the flock, Zaia uses a poignant speech to motivate them to remain strong in front of the coming fight.She wonders about their development and the
