Dax hissed, claws extended, amber eyes ablaze with stubborn anger. He stood like an immobile barrier separating me from her lethal force and stopped my progress.Sebastian pulled his sword, its faint markings shining, his icy-blue eyes fixed even with the strain in his posture. Remain behind us.Not one. Though my voice trembled, fire flared at my fingers. "I'm done running."Runic chains sprung from the earth, snaring Sebastian's arms with burning power, and Cassandra's smile darkened.Dax screamed, broke free, claws blazing, but a blast of black power sent him back hard, slamming into the stone wall.Cassandra was forced to step aside when I pushed forward with silver-crimson fire cutting the cursed cords, but her smile never faltered. One cannot oppose what one is. Her voice was twisted humor mixed with gentle hatred. "You own the prophecy.""I am the author of my fate." Fire burst from the cursed earth, driving her magic back with great force.Cassandra muttered, the first time f

Dax snarling, amber eyes ablaze, "We offer survival."Sebastian interjectively said, "Or you can wait... and see how long it takes her forces to burn your strongholds."Ronan fixed his angry, ferocious stare on me. "Trust is not natural, especially from someone who left the Crescent Moon."Though I retained his steady look, pain twisted far below. "I stayed with everyone instead of quitting. I had been banished."You are just another cursed leader dragging us into a fight we did not ask for." His voice was acerbic and nasty. Tell me why we should take our risks instead of killing you right now.Dark runes lit before I could answer, shadows wriggling about the periphery of the renegade fortress."Incoming!" a scout screamed, terror bursting from his lips.Dark tendrils tearing through stone barriers, flaming shadows rising, Cassandra's powers surged."You seek a cause?" I set fire in my palms, silver-crimson flames bursting as shadow-forged fighters surged forward."Fight with me...or

Sebastian grabbed the closest map and focused sharply. We are encircled if they cross the eastern ridge.Ronan cursed and pulled his swords. We hold this ground, or perish trying.Dark shadows sprang from Cassandra's twisted energies, splintering stone and flame, lethal and unrelenting.Charging ahead, Dax and Sebastian fought back-to-back, savagely slashing through shadow-forged fighters.I shoved my hands forward, fire erupting, burning over the cursed tendrils, pushing Cassandra's soldiers back—if only momentarily.A piercing whistle cut the air before I could gather, and half of the renegade fighters turned swords flashing not towards the enemy but at us.Ronan retreated with a sad and knowing look. "Did you not believe survival came without a price?"Trust broke in the frigidity of darkness, fire flared brighter, and swords clashed.And when treason set the battlefield ablaze, I understood—this was revolt not just war."I am done hunting."Even as fire scorched my veins, silver-c

Between us Sebastian stood, his icy-blue gaze calm yet strained. His sword gleamed. "We do not have much time."Flames erupted, splintering the earth, but Dax rushed forward, breaking through the black tendrils crawling towards me and violently pushing them back."I am not losing you." His voice trembled, raspy with passion even as his claws spilt blood."You cannot rescue me from this." My voice stopped, choked with searing anguish and terror. The prophecy is yet to arrive.Sebastian's sword hit right, breaking black links, but even he couldn't hide the concern whirling in his eyes."You have defeated fate once more." His voice was low, consistent, driven with much confidence. "You'll do it again..."My chest hurt, yet I kept their stare as fire shook at my hands.Not ready is what I say.Dax's hands clasped my face, demanding me to look at him. You do not have to be. His voice changed to become sharp and defensive. "We are.".Once again, dark tendrils erupted, breaking the cursed gr

I moved between them, flames just visible at my hands. "I didn't ask Ronan for this fight." My voice came out crisp yet consistent. Still, I will not back down. "You not understand it, do you?" Ronan spit, rage distorting his face. "We lost all—packs, families... and now you expect us to follow you?"Deep pain twisted, yet I held still. "I am still standing and fighting for the same survival you are."Sebastian said in a chilly voice. "Enough. You may fight us—or fight the actual enemy.”Ronan's knife changed direction, his knuckles whitening but he missed. "Your loyalty costs too much."Dax's claws closed as his eyes fixed on Ronan's fighters. "Then walk away."A lethal quiet descended, flames flickering weakly far away.Dark shadows burst before anybody could get moving, splintering the earth and driving Dax and Sebastian back."Ambushing!" Dax screamed, amber eyes blazing, already shredding the rising evil powers.Twisted voice of Cassandra reverberated over the broken clearing. "

Dark tentacles erupted, dragging us apart, before anybody could respond and tore over the clearing.Cold and victorious, Cassandra's twisted voice rang over the flaming tempest.You were supposed to fall constantly.Flames burst through the black shackles, yet power burned deeper, agony twisting sharp.Amber eyes fixed on me, Dax screamed, claws flashing, cutting through soldiers created from shadows.Sebastian's sword slashed adversaries precisely, but his eyes kept fixed, calculating the instant I would lose control. "Take them!" says I yelled, flames blazing more fiercely over the cursed earth. "Grab them out!"Dax turned back, not ready to go. Not without you, indeed.Sebastian cursed and held out his arm. "She is allowing time for us."A last blast of flames enveloped the battlefield in silver-crimson.Cassandra laughed, icy and victorious, echoing. Either burn everything or eat everything.And I understood—I was the flame—not just battling destiny as flames and shadows mingled.

Once again darkness rose, separating the earth and driving us further apart while wild, uncontrolled flames burnt hotter."They can't save you... and you can't save them," Cassandra says, a poisonous whisper.And I realized—I was battling my heart as fire met darkness, not just fate.You were never supposed to live.Like a razor steeped in poison, Cassandra's voice was icy and poisonous, slashing across the shadowy battlefield. Rising from the shadows, her emerald-green eyes sparkled with merciless success.Dax's claws curved, his amber eyes flashing with relentless anger. Sebastian's icy-blue stare fastened on Cassandra, reading every minute movement as his sword sparkled and runic etchings faintly glowed.Knowing this was more than simply a fight; it was a reckoning. I moved forward, flames just at my fingers, heart hammering. "You failed earlier." Dax said in quiet, lifeless calm. You're going to fail once again.The smile of Cassandra became more pronounced. "You believe you are

I stumbled back, flames at my hands, the cursed mark blazing hotter, wild and uncontrolled. Dark tendrils writhed, devouring my increasing strength and poised to swallow me whole.Sebastian's sword shone, still bearing marks, icy-blue eye fixated on me, angry yet afraid. "She is losing control". His voice was deliberate and harsh. She will ruin everything if we fail to stop this. You cannot rescue me. My voice was low and fractured; memories of battle, treachery, and a future doomed by destiny twisted in my chest like fire."I have no care." Dax's hands tightened and his voice was sharp and determined. Even if you cannot fight for yourself, I will fight for you.Sebastian swore; blade firm but trembling. You don't understand; she's already gone. "Still here is me." My voice trembled, doubtful, fire flickering about me as black power surged, driving me back.Then battle! Dax burst, his amber eyes sharp. "Fight for us—for you".Sebastian's eyes softened, agony twisting far below. "We

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
