Rise of Forsaken Luna Chapter 22: The Warning of Dax
You have to pay attention to me before it is too late.Low and threatening, full of intensity I had never heard before, Dax's voice broke through the tense calm of the burned battlefield His golden eyes locked into mine as if eager me to grasp something I cannot yet perceive.I straightened; the previous fight still pulsed force in my veins. At my fingers, silver flames flashed weakly, their warmth known but erratic—too wild, too erratic."We don't have time for warnings," I shot past him towards the fallen altar still dimly blazing with cursed symbols. "We must have responses."Dax grabbed my wrist and made me stop. His visage sharp and uncompromising, his claws hardly sheathed." The mark is changing you." His voice was extremely serious yet harsh. You have sensed it, haven't you?Though the truth in his comments was clear, I yanked my arm away and felt wrath. "I'm under control on it.""No," Dax snarled, moving forward and his presence overwhelming. It's under control you. Like she

"How far are you ready to travel?"As Cassandra's black magic wrapped closer around me, the words reverberated over the searing abyss, icy and mocking. My brand flared agonizingly, flames raging against no burning shadows.Dax gripped onto my wrist, unwilling to let go despite the stinging fire now pouring from my cursed mark as his claws sank into the earth anchored him. His amber eyes radiated great will, daring destiny itself to test him.Sebastian snarling from behind yanked me back with unrelenting force. "We're not losing her!"But Cassandra's laughter twisted over the black emptiness like a frigid hurricane.Luna, everything comes at a cost. Are you willing to pay yours?Dax and Sebastian ripped me away from the black tendrils one last rush, sending lethal fractures spiraling over the cracked ground. Cassandra's cursed altar was sucked down in a cataclysmic explosion of shadows and fire.Breathless and beaten, we dropped hard on the charred woodland floor, but alive—for now.Da

"You've been keeping both of you something from me."With a piercing voice filled with relentless fire and anger, I pointed my eyes at Dax and Sebastian, who stood tight and quiet beneath the moonlight canopy. As if feeling the secrets hanging heavy in the air, the cursed mark on my arm throbbed violently.Dax's teeth closed and his hands tightened at his sides. Amber had burning eyes and moved protectively towards me. "This is not the right moment."Sebastian laughed, blue eyes narrowing in coldness. She deserves to know.Then let me know! I asked, silver flames flickering over my fingers as I battled to rein in the growing force pumping under my skin. "No more lies."Sebastian's eyes blazed fiercely, but beyond his icy exterior was shame, regret, anguish.You were not just banished from the Crescent Moon Pack. His voice had low, menacing weight and meaning. You were buried.Every phrase hung like a blade ready to strike as the air appeared to stop." Hidden," I went back, incredulit

"Don't reach for her!"With claws shining in the weak, cursed light, Dax's growl slashed across the darkness like a sword. He came between me and the approaching dark tendrils under Cassandra, his posture sharp and emitting protective anger.Sebastian stepped into a defensive posture on my opposite side and pulled his sword. His hard, deliberate look never wavered, fixated only on Cassandra, who regarded us with a twisted smile."Rogue, this is not your fight anymore." Sebastian's voice was austere, directive—all Alpha power.Amber eyes of Dax gleamed with fierce rebellion. "Look at me and try to stop."Cassandra's hands erupted in black, twisted magic before anybody could react, sending jagged shadow tendrils flying towards us.I flung my hands forward, silver-crimson flames firing deadly precisely, connecting mid-air with her onslaught in a furious explosion of fire and black energy.The collision sent us all flying dirt and ash across the fractured clearing. Though I pushed through

"We cannot reverse ourselves back there."With his low, cutting voice, Dax walked the clearing, his claws remaining slightly extended from the previous fight tinged with warning and hatred. Defiance burning in his amber eyes, he dared anybody to question him.I stayed quiet, barely restrained heat still boiling under my skin. The cursed brand on my arm pulsed, pushing against my will and driving me into careless strength."We have no option," I said, pointing him down. "There only is the Crescent Moon Pack with answers here."Sebastian's frigid voice sliced into the suspense. You think they will just let you stroll in?His sharp blue eye fixed on me. "They still consider you to be a hazard."Dax hissed, rage bursting through his voice. Allow them to try.Sebastian moved forward with a keen, deliberate look. "You have no idea how far the treachery runs."Memories surged—the Council's icy judgement, their falsehoods, and my exile—his words like a razor."I'm not the same helpless Luna th

One cannot fight what is between us.Dax's voice pierced through the stifling tension in the dark chamber—raw, unvarnished. Locked on me like he could compel me to see the reality I was rejecting, his amber eyes blazed with great intensity.Heart racing, every nerve tensed to breaking, I retreated. Mirroring the struggle fighting within me, the cursed mark on my arm throbbed, silver-crimson flames flashing just under my skin."You're wrong," my voice trembled but I pushed it to firm. The link is not real—not anymore.His claws opened, tension flickering between us like a tempest just about to break.Then why are you unable to leave?""The air swelled and became imbued with magic and feeling. Memories flooded, unwelcome—Dax's unflinching dedication, the way his touch burnt away my anxiety, the quiet pledges we had made without words.Clutching my hands, I pushed the past down and vowed not to be dragged once again into his circle.I snarled, moving towards the broken window where the a

"We're not running," my voice sliced through the thick, cursed air like a razor blade. Not this time, too.Cassandra grinned, her darkly delighted emerald-green eyes flashing with old, perverted power.She lifted her palm and black power flowed from her fingers, splintering the floor in a web of jagged, burning runes. She was foolish.I launched a wall of flames to stop her next strike, but the cursed mark twisted agonisingly and I had to kneel.Sebastian raced forward, his sword blazing lethal arcs and savagely precisely chopping through shadow-beasts. Dax followed, deadly and unrelenting, his wolf form mercilessly ripping apart adversaries.Mocking voice of Cassandra permeated the area and crept into my head.You believe they may rescue you? Her eyes fixed predatory and knowing on me. "They don’s see you for what you really are... but I do."The cursed brand flashed, drawing me more into her twisted magic—a web of manipulation and sinister pledges.Everything turned suddenly.Realit

One cannot escape what they have done.Dark and poisonous, Cassandra's words hung in the broken air like frigid fire over the war-torn clearing. Her wicked power surged, dragging me down a memory pit.Dax's amber eyes burning with fierce wrath, his claws flexed ready to attack. Besides him, Sebastian's sword flashed, solid in its demand for hold.But before I could respond, black tendrils swung out like burning chains around my wrists.The cursed brand started to burn through my arm as old symbols flared and pulled me into a tempest of broken memories.The universe broke apart, and I was pulled backwards into a former vision.I was standing in the Crescent Moon Courtyard, moonlight flowing down, everything too vivid and clear.Before me loomed the Council Elders, their features contorted in icy assessment. The voice of Lucas Varik rang over the memory—cold, merciless, and absolute.You pose a danger to the group... and to you personally.I recalled my palms shaking, flames raging unde

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
