The Storm BreaksLucian: "Is that how you feel? It feels like the moon is tearing us apart because the air is so thick."It's not just the moon," Aiden said. It's the anxiety. Caleb, Damon even the prophecy. The pack is being torn in two.Lucian: "Aiden, fear is fuel. Everything will burn down if we don't put it out."Aiden: "Then we must take immediate action. "Where is Iris?"Lucian: "Out in the open space. Most likely, they are attempting to figure out how to fix what cannot be fixed.Aiden says, "She doesn’t have to do it alone."Iris: "Tonight, the moon seems to be alive." Every time it rises, the mark pulls harder. What does it want from me?"Aiden: "Iris."Iris: "Aiden. You shouldn’t be here."Aiden: "And allow you to figure this out alone? Not happening. I promised you."Iris: "Promised me what? That you’d stand by my side when I unravel? That you’d watch me become the thing everyone’s scared of?"Aiden: "You won’t become that. I won’t let you."Iris: "You think you can stop

Sacrifice and Control"Iris!" said Aiden. Get out of it!"Iris stood in the middle of the clearing, her body shaking from the evil light burning from the mark on her wrist. The blood moon's energy overcame the wolves' instincts, causing them to howl and lunge at one another around her.Iris: (in a strained voice) "I can't... I can't contain myself. It's excessive."Lucian: "You must!" (snatching her shoulder) The entire pack will destroy itself if you lose control.She dropped to her knees, gripping her wrist as Lucian was knocked back by a wave of strength that swept outward. Wolves screamed and dispersed, their violence temporarily subdued until the mayhem returned."This is what happens when you put faith in the chosen one," said Caleb, addressing the wolves. Take a look around you; she poses a threat to everyone."You're not helping!" said Aiden, frowning at Caleb. Do something constructive if you're so worried.Caleb: "I am," he said smirking. Those who are still sensible are the

Loyalty and Betrayal"Where... am I?" Iris asks groggily as she wakes up.As she surveyed the chilly, windowless chamber, her head ached. Two wolves stood watch outside, their attitudes rigid with devotion to Caleb, and heavy iron bars guarded the doorway.Guard 1: "She's awake," she says to the other guard. Inform Caleb.Muttering, Iris says: "Caleb. Of course.A few moments later, Caleb walked in, leaning idly on the bars with his typical arrogant assurance.Caleb: (sly) "Iris, it's good to see you're still here. The red moon had taken more from you than I had expected, and I was beginning to worry."Iris: "Spare me the worry," she said icily. What would you like?With a determined but non-threatening look, Caleb opened the door and entered. Like a predator assessing its prey, he circled her.Caleb: "The survival of the pack is what I've always desired. But with you in the way, that isn't feasible."Iris: (remaining firm) "You don't give a damn about the pack. Power is at issue her

Unity in ChaosIris (startled awake): "Where am I? This isn't genuine, please.She was in a beautiful silver radiance, standing in a limitless emptiness. Caleb appeared beside her, confused, but soon snapped out of it.(Gesturing around) "Iris? What is this? One of your tricks?"Iris: "I don't know," she said harshly. It might be one of yours.An almost mystical resonance filled the room as a musical voice reverberated.Moon Goddess: "Not at all. I'm to blame.The Moon Goddess appeared in front of them, her presence luminous and powerful, and they both turned. The blood moon's brightness sparkled in her eyes."You stand at the precipice of ruin, and yet, you still bicker like children," said Moon Goddess tenderly.Caleb (with a little bow): "Goddess, if you’ve brought us here, then surely it is to show Iris that she must step aside."The interruption comes from Iris: "Or to show you that you’ve been wrong this entire time."Moon Goddess: "Enough," she said angrily. Look.An image of t

Betrayal and Redemption"Hold the line!" shouts Iris over the commotion. Don't allow them to separate us.As the invasion force flooded into the clearing, wolves from both factions—loyalists, and rebels—fought side by side. As the formerly split pack fought to unite against their shared foe, the air was filled with snarls and blood.Aiden: "This won't last!" Aiden said to Lucian. We were too severely shattered by Damon's treachery."Then we patch it up here and now," said Lucian, growling. Pay attention to the intruders. Let me handle Damon.Caleb battled nearby with icy accuracy, his blows well-planned and effective. He looked at Iris, who was guiding wolves into formation while lighting dimly.Caleb (to Iris): "If you continue like this, they'll follow you. But can you maintain your composure long enough to make a difference?Iris (snapping): "I don’t have a choice."Caleb: "That’s the spirit." He was sly despite the blood on his face.With its claws aimed at fatIrisathroat, a massi

Recovery and RebuildingHovering over Iris, Aiden says, "Iris, wake up. I can't do this without you, please."The tiny glimmer of the mark on her wrist flickered in the dim moonlight, yet her skin was pale and her breathing was shallow. In the distance, wolves whispered, and the clearing was filled with the uneasy silence of a pack uncertain of its destiny.From behind, Caleb says: "You're squandering time. She's gone. Someone needs to step up for the pack.Aiden (whirling about): "Come on? Do you believe that gaining power is the goal here?Aiden's barely controlled anger contrasted sharply with Caleb's composed manner as he crossed his arms.Caleb: "Power isn't the issue. The goal is to survive. Aiden, look around. Damon's men are afraid and lack a leader, and they won't wait for us to resolve this."With a growl, Aiden says, "Iris is our leader."(sharply) Caleb: "Iris is not conscious. Before the entire pack collapses, someone must assume leadership.As wolves gathered, their face

Forewarning and UrgencyAs Iris gripped Aiden's arm, the room was lighted by the dim glow of the mark on her wrist, creating shifting shadows. Her eyes were full of desperation, but her breathing was steady.Whispering, Iris says, "I saw it, Aiden."With a puzzled brow, Aiden leaned closer and asked, "What did you see? What do we face?Iris, in a shaky voice: "The external group. Blood. War. Now, it's about everyone, not just us. The mark is a lighthouse. They are pursuing it. For me.Her remarks sank like a stone into deep water into the dense atmosphere, and the room fell silent. As Aiden took in the enormity of her news, his jaw tightened."Then we'll stop them," said Aiden in a quiet voice. We'll protect you no matter what."Iris: "It's not just about me," she said, shaking her head. They will destroy the pack, the land, and the balance if they reach the target. We can't manage it all by ourselves."The sound of footsteps broke the tense silence. Caleb emerged from the doorway, hi

Allies and EnemiesAs Iris stood at the edge of the clearing, the forest was eerily quiet, with only the gentle rustle of leaves to be heard. The mark on her wrist was no longer glowing, but the warning still weighed heavily on her chest. The faint sound of footfall caused her body to tense automatically as she turned."Who’s there?" asked Iris.A figure with purposeful, non-threatening gestures stepped out of the shadows. A lean, strong rogue wolf with dark, cunning eyes. His face was faintly scarred from innumerable battles, and his clothes were ripped."I didn't come to fight," said Rogue Wolf.With her heart racing, Iris's palm lingered close to the dagger fastened to her belt. She remained vigilant.Iris replied: "Then why are you here?"Calmly, Rogue Wolf: "The mark."The word lingered in the air like the edge of a blade. Iris's hand gripped her weapon's hilt more tightly."What about it?" asked Iris.Rogue Wolf: "I am aware of its significance. what it draws. and what's going t

THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 103: The Chosen Path
A Decision MadeIris’s heart pounded as she stood between the two men who had defined so much of her path. Every part of her being screamed against the choice she had to make, yet the Goddess’s voice echoed in her mind, demanding a decision.She turned to Damon, her throat tight with emotion. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.Damon’s jaw clenched, his gaze burning into hers with a mix of hurt and acceptance. “Don’t regret this,” he said, his tone low but sharp. He stepped back, his figure beginning to blur as the shadows around them deepened.“I hope I won’t,” Iris answered, her voice trembling.Before she could say another word, the ground beneath Damon cracked with a thunderous roar. The ground split open, and tendrils of darkness surged upward, wrapping around him.“Iris!” Damon shouted, his voice filled with anger and fear as the shadows pulled him lower.“No!” Iris screamed, running forward, but Aiden grabbed her arm and held her back.“There’s nothing we can do!” Aiden yelled over th
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 102: The Goddess’s Whisper
Testing LoyaltiesThe tension was high in the air as Iris's consciousness echoed faintly with the Moon Goddess's voice. Her comments caused her knees to give way, and her heart was thumping in her chest like a drum.Calm but uncompromising, the voice replied, "You've unlocked the power, but now you must prove your worth." "You can only be followed to the end by one of them."Iris's hands clenched into fists as she shook her head. Her voice broke as she murmured, "Why must I choose?" "Have I done enough?"The voice grew softer without faltering. It is the mark's method. You cannot bear both of their loads, and balance is necessary for the future.Iris looked at Aiden and Damon, who were standing beside her. Their postures were stiff as they gazed at her with shocked and perplexed faces. As though echoing her distress, the luminous vines on her arm pulsed softly."What's going on?" With a worried tone, Aiden inquired.Iris, who could hardly look them in the eye, remarked, "She's forcin
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 101: The Orb’s Wrath
Sacrifice and AwakeningAs the orb's golden energy flowed through Iris's body, the ground shook. Her cries reverberated around the bleak battlefield as she writhed in pain. Before they could get to her side, a wall of bright light burst around her, knocking Aiden and Damon back with a force that forced the air out of their lungs.Grasping the barrier with his fists, Aiden clambered to his feet. "Iris!" he yelled, his voice full of desperation. "I'm present! Allow me to assist you!Iris's body stretched inside the barrier, her veins glittering with molten gold. Her voice pierced the atmosphere, laced with echoes and warped."Remain back!" she exclaimed. "It's transforming me."Damon wiped blood from his temple and stumbled to his feet. His mouth was clenched in fury as he examined the barrier. "We can't remain motionless! She's going to exhaust herself.Aiden glared at him. "Then assist me in breaking this object!"Damon paused. "That energy does more than just keep her safe. She is be
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 100: The Thorn’s Core
The Power of ChoiceThe Allure of PowerWith his body bruised from the ordeal, Damon staggered into the middle of the maze. The ground beneath his boots appeared to throb with life, and the air was thick with vitality. A luminous sphere, pulsing with an unearthly light, stood at the center of the clearing. Its surface glistened as if it held a thousand galaxies whirling in both harmony and turmoil.His instincts told him to keep away, but he hesitated. But he could not ignore the voice in his head.The Moon Goddess said, "Take it," in a calming yet firm voice. You have the opportunity to change your destiny. You can undo all of your mistakes and the suffering you've caused.Damon clenched his fists at his sides. The words pierced deeply, slamming into the shame he bore like a burden. He had devoted a significant portion of his life to pursuing power, only to discover too late the devastation it brought with it."And how much does it cost this time?" His voice could hardly be heard abo
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 99: The Mirror’s Lies
Self-AcceptanceTurning to Face the Shadow With the thorny walls pressing in like onlookers to a long-awaited war, the clearing in the maze seemed to pulse with a life of its own. Iris stayed immobile, her head whirling and her body tense. Slowly, like a predator chasing its prey, the shadow picture of herself circled about her. With malice in its voice, the shadow hissed, "You think you can save them?" "Even you cannot save yourself." Iris said, her voice strong in spitedespitery tugging at her core, "I'm not here to save myself." Her wrist mark started to glow, light warm, and steady. Something between a grimace and a smile twisted the shadow's face. Falsehoods. You've been afraid all your life. Fearful of reality. Fearful of your strength. Fearful of the person you will become if you accept it. Iris forcefully stated, "I don't have to listen to you." Her chin was up as she stepped forward. "You are only a mirror reflection. A distorted sliver of myself that I no longer require
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 98: The Spiral of Doubt
Desperation and ResolveThe Last TrialAs he paced the crumbling remnants of the make-believe packhouse, Aiden declared, "I won't accept this," in a voice full of determination. His eyes blazed with rage, and his hands clenched into fists. "Something we're lacking must be a means to stop it." Iris sat with her head bent on the edge of a broken bench. In an attempt to remain stable, the brilliant mark on her wrist pulsed a little like a heartbeat. She whispered, "Aiden, you heard her." I'm dying over the mark. It is beyond your power to combat. Aiden's face tensed as he turned around. "What she said doesn't matter to me. A path is always possible. All you need to do is want to locate it. Damon's face was expressionless as he rested against a damaged wall. "Power always comes with a cost," he stated somberly. "Aiden, she is not an exception. You cannot continue to act as though we can resolve this with simple willpower. "You can say that with ease," Aiden retorted, looking at Damon
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 97 The Mark’s Betrayal
Power’s CostA Lethal TrapThe walls of the makeshift packhouse twisted and shifted about Aiden and Damon as they stood back-to-back. The space seemed to be alive, thriving on their mistrust and annoyance. With each step, a new trap was set off, whether it was phantom claws snatching at their throats, spikes blasting from the walls, or the floor crashing into emptiness."Time is of the essence!" A shaft of ice sprang from the ceiling, and Aiden snarled as he barely avoided it.Damon kicked a pressure plate that activated a second set of traps and said dryly, "I noticed." Just in time to prevent a collapsing beam, he yanked Aiden back. "You're awful at staying alive if you're always trying to be the hero."Wiping perspiration from his brow, Aiden shot back, "And for someone who's supposed to be all-knowing, you're doing a lousy job of getting us out of here."Damon's keen eyes searched the room for anything that didn't belong. He whispered, "This isn't just a trap." "This is a test."
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 96 Shattered Alliances
Secrets UnveiledDamon's Disclosure The tension between the three of them was nearly intolerable, and the air was thick. With his focus locked on Damon, Aiden navigated the devastated landscape of the shifting void. As the tumultuous discovery swirled about them, Iris stood a few meters away, her fists clenched. With a voice as keen as a sword, Aiden stated, "You're going to tell us everything." "No more half-truths, no more lies." Damon's jaw clenched, but he kept his head down. His typically steady hands shook at his sides. He murmured, "You think I wanted this?" "What you wanted doesn't matter to me," Aiden screamed. "You tricked us. You fooled her. "Enough!" Iris cut in, her voice calm yet tremulous. She moved in front of them, staring at Damon. "What do you conceal? Telling us the truth is vital if you wish to be rescued. Damon hesitated, glancing quickly at the faintly lighting emblem on Iris's wrist. With the weight of his confession straining to topple him, he inhaled de
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 95 The Void’s Deception
Trust TestedThe Packhouse MirrorThere was an oppressive silence when Iris opened her eyes. She blinked as she became aware of her surroundings. She appeared to be standing in the packhouse, but something wasn't quite right. The air seemed heavy, pressing against her chest, and the walls shined oddly, as though they were made of polished glass. Aiden and Damon stood across the room, their postures rigid. Their normally recognizable looks were aloof, and it was unclear what they were feeling. Iris shouted out in a tremulous voice, "Aiden." "Damon. What is going on? Aiden's angry and piercing eyes suddenly shifted to her. "You brought us here." "What?" Iris stepped back, her heart pounding. "No, I didn't! I have no idea where "here" is! "Don't you always have an answer?" Damon crossed his arms and spoke in a chilly tone. "You're at the center of everything that goes wrong." "That is unfair!" Iris objected. Her mark flashed dimly as she tightened her hands. "We're caught up in som
