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

The old voice rang once again, and I realised The Moon had chosen me not just.She pointed to us.Darkness rose before we could strike again, shadows wriggling madly through reality itself."The Moon may bless... but fate still owns you," Cassandra said in a chilly, hateful voice.And I understood—we were claimed—not just chosen—as silver flames raged stronger, blazing through the links of fate.The light cannot protect you from what is approaching.Cassandra's voice sliced through the calm of the fading conflict, icy, poisonous and relentless.

    Dax snarled with burning amber eyes. Come take her.Sebastian's hold on his sword tightened, icy-blue eyes locked on me. The prophecy did not call for this.But I already knew; the prophecy had evolved.Dark magic burst before I could respond, separating the earth and driving us apart as light sank from the horizon."Your fire won't save you... when the darkness has already claimed your fate." The twisted voice of the armored figure echoed cold and mercilessly.And as darkness drew in, I came to see that we were against fate itself rather than only trying to survive."What more can you carry before it breaks you?"Cassandra’s words twisted through the darkening air, gentle and vicious, wrapping around my head like a rope tightening.The cursed mark blazed brighter, silver-crimson flames quivering at my fingers, burning my veins as black runes cut deeper into the dirt below.Dax snarled low, amber eyes sharp, claws twitching, ready to battle.Sebastian drew forward, sword shining, icy-

    " Whether you like it or not, we need each other."Sharp, my voice sliced through the tight quiet, fire still flickering at my fingers. Sebastian's sword remained half-drawn, its marks still faintly shining, while Dax's claws flexed and his amber eyes burned with great mistrust.Ronan's harsh, grey eyes narrowed across from us, his damaged face hardened with bitterness. Restless hands lingering near their rifles, his renegade troops moved."You want me to trust you... after everything?" Ronan snipped, voice low and poisonous. "You are the reason we are here—fighting an inevitable war."Dax hissed and amber eyes flashed. You would be dead already if we had not protected you from Cassandra's wicked army."We did not solicit your rescue." Ronan pushed forward, blades glittering, undeterred by Dax's anger. "Your still cursed; the Moon's blessing won't change that."Sebastian's blade raised somewhat, voice cool but sharpened. "We have not time for this."I lifted my hands, heat blazing, dr

His voice deepened and became resentful. "Only fools believe on fate.”Dark shadows surged, dividing the cursed earth, pushing us back before anybody could reply."The storm was never meant to be stopped... only survived," Cassandra said, her distorted voice hissed, icy and poisonous.Dark fighters soulless and unrelenting appeared as thunder slammed, splintering the ground.Dax screamed, racing forth with wild fervor, claws flashing and ripping through cursed troops.Sebastian's sword slashed viciously and exactly through shadows.Ronan's rogues exploded, swords flying in a tempest of wrath with brutal accuracy.I flung my hands forward, fire bursting, scorching through black magic, pushing back the opposing lines.But the cursed brand seared, anguish twisting deeper, relentless shadows turning and reforming."We ar

"What are you??"Though lethal, Cassandra's voice softened, almost intimate: "I was chosen... just like her." She pointed towards me, her eyes sharp. But when she battles fate, I welcomed it.Sebastian swore, blade shaking, awareness showing up on his face."The prophecy... it was about us not only."

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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
