Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 41: Confession Made by Sebastian
Memories distorted, black and piercing; council rooms, run-through letters blazing, Sebastian prostrate, bound by magic.They were going to murder you. His voice was rough and full of unvarnished suffering. The seniors had already made decisions.Pain cut across my chest, as if I were going through the betrayal moment once again. You thus banished me.Sebastian's sword shook at his side; his hands closed."I turned everything around." His voice seemed to be sharp, fractured, as if healing an old trauma. "I assumed the guilt... to keep you alive."Dax squatted, claws out, amber eyes blazing. You expect us to believe that?"I have no opinion about your belief." Sebastian moved forward, sharp and unwavering, fixed on me. "I give what she believes great importance." "Why right now?" Truth softened my voice, which was low, wavering, yet piercing with wrath. "Why explain me now?"Sebastian's face relaxed, but agony remained behind his eyes. "Because I am done observing you fight alone."Si

"You can still save him... but only if you break," Cassandra said, her voice dripping with twisted promise.Sebastian leapt, his sword gleaming, but Cassandra's black force surged back with a terrible blow."You think sacrifice makes you strong?" she snarled, tying him with blazing symbols. You were supposed to fall constantly."Bad." Sebastian's voice broke through the tumult, sharp and definite. "I fall only if she does.”Dax pushed himself, blood streaming his side, amber eyes burning with fierce resistance."I don't fall," he said, snarling. I get up.His claws started to blaze fiercely, tearing through the black strands binding him.Cassandra lifted her hands before Sebastian and Dax could gather, evil magic whirling like a destructive cyclone."then let's see how much you can still lose.”The earth split, strength surged, and as darkness enveloped us I understood—An Alpha fights for what he has already lost, not just for survival.You expect us to follow you?Ronan's voice was i

Dark shadows erupted before Ronan could answer, splintering the cursed earth as Cassandra's twisted army formed, lethal and merciless."Decide now," Dax roared, strength pulsing over his strained body. "Or die split."Old connections broke and new loyalties blazed amid the turmoil as swords clashed, claws flashed, and fire erupted searing across the twisted battlefield.And when shadows rose once again, I understood—victory calls for faith as much as it does power.Chapter 44: The Cost of Reality" Tell her... or I will."As Dax moved closer, his amber eyes blazing with merciless intensity, his voice was low, menacing, vibrating with barely controlled wrath. His claws opened, daring Sebastian to reject him.Though his sword shook only at his side, Sebastian's jaw clenched and his icy-blue stare flicked with mixed feeling. In the war-torn meadow, shadows lingered as if the black magic itself waited for what happened next.She is entitled to the truth. Dax's voice became deadly calm, de

" Tell her... or I will."As Dax moved closer, his amber eyes blazing with merciless intensity, his voice was low, menacing, vibrating with barely controlled wrath. His claws opened, daring Sebastian to reject him.Though his sword shook only at his side, Sebastian's jaw clenched and his icy-blue stare flicked with mixed feeling. In the war-torn meadow, shadows lingered as if the black magic itself waited for what happened next.She is entitled to the truth. Dax's voice became deadly calm, definitive and forceful. "Stop lying."Sebastian's shoulders tensed, remorse carving itself further onto his face. "This is not the right moment.""Long past is what we live with." Dax snarled, his hands clinched as if he was holding back from ripping him apart.I moved between them, flames only glancing at my hands. "Stop!"; My voice shivered, demanding but fractured. "What aren't you letting me know?"Silence slammed between us, more weight than any weapon could have. Sebastian looked at me, troubl

"You still think defiance is enough?" she screamed, black tendrils whirling around me like ravenous shadows. You are the prophecy.Dax burst free from binding runes, amber eyes blazing with unrelenting rage, roaring and his claws flashing."Stay far from her!" With protective fury, his voice echoed as he surged, savagely driving Cassandra back.Sebastian shot forward, sword blazing, deadly accuracy slashing through soldiers created from shadows. His cool-blue eyes fixed on me, steady yet urgent.“Zaia—take control!” His voice was strong and forceful, merciless yet firm.The cursed mark burned hotter, agony turning into something raw and basic that set fire and darkness inside of me."Stop fighting it," Cassandra said, her voice like poisoned silk. “It’s already yours.”The earth shattered, black runes burning, shoving Dax and Sebastian back as shadow power surged.Pain blazed harder, so I staggered as flames sprung from my fingers collided with Cassandra's warped power."You were nev

Emerging twisted and victorious, Cassandra had emerald-green eyes shining with wicked joy."You should've stayed dead, Liora." Her voice was poisonous, twisted with amusement. You were always too frail to complete what you began.Mother's hands closed, fire shooting from her fingers. "I survived to avoid her having to."Memories fought back, a forgotten battlefield, my mother's shattered body, her last stance imprinted into my consciousness. My pulse thong."You were gone," I said, fire flickering at my fingers. "I witnessed your fall."One did. Her voice was ferocious yet scratchy. Some debts, nevertheless, are never paid in full.Dax surged forward, claws flashing, amber eyes blazing with sheer anger rushing to protect me."We need to move—now!" he screamed, immediately getting ready for the next attack.Sebastian's sword shone, his icy-blue eye fixed on Cassandra, detecting every change in her lethal aura.Mother lifted her hands, flames lighting a protective circle. Not number. He

Mother's protective walls trembled, flames flickering, her power weakening beneath Cassandra's unrelenting attack."We have run out of time!" Sebastian cursed, blue eyes flaming as he battled to get to me.The cursed earth cracked, sinister symbols lighting a lethal circle around us.Cassandra came out, emerald-green eyes ablaze with black success."You cannot run destiny." Her voice was final and chilly. " Through blood... or fire... fate claims you."Though the terrible mark blazed, agonizing and unrelenting, I stayed away.I chose... my destiny. My voice was raw, steady, rebellious, fire blazing more brilliantly than it had ever done.Emerging from the black runes, silver-crimson flames broke the hold of the curse.Dax tore through another with claws dripping in flames, Sebastian's sword hit true and cut through one cursed chain before Cassandra could strike.The cursed earth shook, power flickering, Cassandra stumbled dazzled by the explosion of freed magic.Flames and shadows cra

" prove it." Elder Cael spoke loudly, dark and merciless. Either perish or survive the Dominion trial.Shock rocked the Council room, murmurs and gasps rising like a storm on approach.Sebastian swore; his blue eyes flashed. "You cannot—,""Enough." Veyra watched with burning intensity. She is limited by blood and fire. Her destiny was determined long ago.Dark rune activation sealed the room in a blaze of cursed fire before anybody could move." Face the trial..." Veyra snarled, “or burn like the rest.”And when flames erupted, I realized— There was no escape… just the struggle ahead."We cannot maintain the line much longer!"Rising above the anarchy, Dax's voice screamed, his amber eyes flaming as he sliced through yet another wave of cursed fighters. Muscles straying under the constant attack, his claws flared with silver-crimson flames.Sebastian moved like lightning, precisely killing foes with his gleaming, carved rune sword.

After Cassandra left, the woodland was quiet, but the suspense hung thick like a storm just about to strike. Lirien had disappeared. not with Cassandra. Not besides us.She was on her own. That made her erratic as well. Back at camp, the battle-worn fighters huddled around the fire, their faces marked with anxiety. We had gained something today; yet, it would be interesting to know if this was a mistake or a triumph. The first to speak was Dux. "So what now? Lirien cannot be left alone out there. Rorin groaned, his damaged visage inscrutable as she made her decision. She turned her back on Cassandra, but she chose none of us either. Elyse said, "She's lost." She has spent her whole life believing one truth; now she is unsure of what to believe. She is vulnerable because of this. Tasha waved her arms. "You believe Cassandra won't show up searching for her? She shall. Lirien lately started to be a burden. I let out a quiet breath as my fingers tightened on the relic at my chest.
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 166: When Fragmented Trust
Cassandra took cautious, purposeful steps towards us, her violet eyes shining with delight and her smile razor-sharp. Her black energy swirled in the air around her, sending shills down my spine."Oh, Zaia," she said, slanted her head to study me. You truly felt you could violate the Shadow Pact with sentiment? With minimal talks on unity? Lirien still shook from the traces of the heavenly force that had passed through her. Her red eyes, which had always blazed with relentless hate, suddenly flicked with something else—uncertainty. Her voice strained as she replied, "You used me," her hands clenched. Cassandra laughed, a musical sound that made me think of alarm bells. "I walked you, sweet Lirien. I gave you the tools you so sorely needed to recover your birthright. And what then did you do? She tsked and shook her head. You halted. You allow the honeyed words of the Luna soak into your heart. Lirien's whole body stiffened. You lied to me. Cassandra groaned, annoyed. Has I? Alter
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 165: Forest Glade Confrontation
Like a phantom's breath, the whisper enveloped us with a terrible sensation of dread over the treetops."You think you might alter fate?"Lirien's vocal quality.The shadows in Sacred Hollow deepened and curved like ravenous tentacles. Though even that warmth couldn't chase away the darkness approaching us, the blessing of the Moon Goddess still thrummed in my veins.Dax pulled his sword, his muscles stiffened for fight. She was looking forward us.Elyse whispered an incantation, her silver eyes flickering weakly. Not one. She were observing.Tasha opened her mouth to show teeth. "then let's give her something to see."I raised my chin, determined not to let terror seize. "No," We battle somewhere. Here is not our scene.Dax turned to look at me. "Zaia—""This is holy ground," I stated with great conviction. "I won't denigrate it with bloodshed."The shadows seemed to be thinking about what I had said. From beyond the treeline, then, a man moved forward.Lirien.She wore a black coat
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 164: Quiet Blessing of the Moon Goddess
Though their images faded, their echoes thrumming in my bones like a broken chord remained. My thoughts whirled with the facts the Keeper had pushed upon me; my breathing was labouring. Actually, the reality exceeded my expectations. More than I could have tolerated.The Shadow Pact was a tie linking the pack's destiny to forces much older than any of us had known, not just an instrument of power or a curse afflicting the Crescent Moon Pack. Breaking it would call for a sacrifice more than I could have ever imagined.Their red eyes inscrutable, the Keeper regarded me. Now you understand, they said softly. "The agreement cannot be revoked without results." One has to pay blood price. And it comes from you as well.My wolf seething within me, my fingers twisted into fists. "If the cost is my to pay, then so be it," I replied. But I refuse to let the pack suffer for previous errors.The Keeper slanted their head, as if weighing my comments. Then they turned back into the darkness, a fain
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 163: Techniques of the Forbidden Lands
The devastation of the hilltop was a clear warning, a sobering reminder of Lirien's growing might. As we gathered in the tent, her harsh and caustic comments still reverberated in my ears. Both physically and metaphorically, the shadows had increased and pressed on the delicate togetherness we had so laboratively created.But there was another, a faint whisper at the brink of my consciousness borne by the constant pulse of the relic. Lirien and Cassandra were not involved. Something ancient, something beckoning me from far within the Forbidden Lands.Fear and mystery have always come from the Forbidden Lands. The air there heavy with an odd force turned even the toughest away, hence even the fiercest wolves feared to approach her boundaries. Stories of those who entered and never came back were handed down like warnings, moulding next generations of Crescent Moon wolves.But the relic I had throbbed with intent, its glow weak but constant. Whatever lay in those territories, I knew it
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 162: Reversing Customary Traditions
The howl stayed in the air like an unspoken challenge, the brilliant eyes in the shadows a sharp reminder of the threats invading our life. Every wolf poised for the battle we knew was about to strike the camp in tense quiet. But the danger did not materialise as the seconds extended into minutes. One by one the eyes vanished, leaving only the disturbing silence of the forest.Dax said, "It's a warning," his golden eyes glancing over the treeline. "We are being tested by them.""Or waiting for us to fall," Elyse replied, her silver eyes piercing. "They want us apart. They are expecting we will break apart on our own.Her comments really connected with me as they reflected the uncertainties growing inside of me. Lirien's claim, the brittle alliance with the rogues, the weight of the Crescent Moon's legacy—all seemed like shackles, binding us to customs that no longer served us.We had to become free from those bonds if we were going to live. We had to generate something fresh.Once mor
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 161: Rogues Under Shadow of the Council
As we rebuilt the southern outpost, the camp was a swarm of activity. The meeting with Lirien had changed everyone who had seen her strength, not just me. Whispers about her claim as the legitimate successor to the Crescent Moon Pack swiftly create uncertainty and mistrust among the wolves.Particularly the rogues appeared more restless than normal. Their mistrust, always boiling just under the surface, suddenly threatened to explode. We realised we couldn't afford to allow the brittle coalition we had created fall apart.Tension high, the council gathered that evening. Seated around the table, Dax, Kade, Elyse, and Rorin had mixed looks of tiredness and discontent. Sebastian stood to the side listening closely while crossing his arms.Dax said, his amber eyes ablaze with frustration: "We cannot overlook what occurred today. "Lirien's challenge to Zaia's authority goes beyond mere threat. Should she continue to disseminate her falsehoods, the pack might turn against her."Some of the
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 160: The Last Heir of the Crescent Moon
Not just a strategic site for the pack, but the southern outpost had been a symbol of our resilience, a reminder of what we had worked to rebuild. It was destroyed now. The story of the incident spread around the camp like wildfire, greatly unsettling the wolves and generating uncertainty. For me, however, it was personal—not just another loss.The weight of the relic pressed on my chest like a subdued reminder of the responsibility I carried as the council gathered in the command tent. Around the table Dax, Kade, Elyse, and Rorin stood with emotions ranging from deadly determination to sheer rage." How nasty is it?" I asked to break the quiet.Sebastian went forward, his voice low and sad. "The outpost is no more nowadays. Those who survived assert it was something else, not Cassandra's will. Shadows, as we came across in the woodland. Still, they were moving towards something."leading them!" Elyse repeated, her silver eyes narrowing. "What type of creature could regulate such thi
Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapters 159: Wounded but Unbroken
The wolves gathered in the area, their moves purposeful and keen, the early air was tense. The scout’s urgent report had placed the whole camp on edge. Though it wasn't Cassandra's army, whatever was crossing the western woodland wasn't less of a menace.With the relic warm against my breast, its faint pulse consistent but quiet, I stood in the middle of the clearing. Elyse and Rorin waited close by, their faces austere; Dax and Kade flanking me had stiff postures.Any updates from the scouts? I asked, my voice calm in spite of the churn in my stomach.Sebastian advanced, his keen silver eyes guiding him. "They are watching from the summit. Whatever it is, it is moving swiftly; even if there is no clear indication of what we are dealing with, then we cannot afford to wait. "We shall look in a small group. Others of the camp stay here and enhance the defences.Dax furrowed, worry darkening his golden eyes. You are once more endangering yourself. Let us take care of it."I'm the L
