THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 9
As Iris strolled through the pack's center grounds, the fresh morning air carried a subtle aroma of pine and dew. Even though her thoughts were racing with anxiety, she maintained a steady gait and composed posture. She couldn't help but think about what had happened the night before, Damon's betrayal now a festering sore. Her next move, however, needed to be well thought out rather than rash."Iris!" a little voice said, interrupting her concentration.Several younger wolves approached, their faces tentative but resolute, as she turned to face them. Ethan, the omega she had protected throughout training, was in the front. His anxious gaze glanced about to make sure no one was listening."What is it?" Iris inquired in a circumspect tone. She had discovered that she shouldn't put too much faith in this pack.Ethan took a step forward, his words almost audible above a whisper. "We must speak. In private.She nodded, but her gaze narrowed. "Come with me."She guided them to a remote loca

In the thin moonlight, the patrol path seemed to go on forever. The trees' shadows danced like ghosts as they spoke in the night air. Iris traveled in silence, each snap of twigs and rustling of leaves captured by her keen senses. Beneath her sleeve, the mark on her wrist had started to throb softly, becoming warmer with each step she went.She felt a little pulse at first, but as she got closer to the patrol's limit, it became hotter and sent a shock up her arm. Her breath caught as she hesitated. Although it wasn't unpleasant, the feeling drew her in like a force urging her to look at something she couldn't see."What is this?" She touched the mark with her fingertips and said.The woodland parted to expose a moonlit clearing as if in response. Here, the air seemed thicker and more energetic, causing her skin to tingle. With its silvery light lighting every blade of grass and every petal of the odd blue flowers that sprinkled the ground, the moon's brightness seemed stronger.Her he

The moon was low in the night sky, illuminating the remote clearing where Iris reconnected with the younger wolves with silvery light. Since their previous meeting, the group had expanded. She was now being closely observed by faces she knew from training and everyday tasks, their looks a mixture of terror and resolve. The weight of their decision weighed over them all, yet the air sparked with silent defiance.Iris said steadily, "You have to exercise caution if you're serious about change." Anyone whom Damon and Lyra see as a danger will be crushed.The young features of the wolves hardened with determination as they all nodded together. Ethan straightened his shoulders and took a step forward. "We can no longer live this way, even if we are aware of the consequences. Their strength is all that matters to them; the pack is of no concern."And you believe I can assist you?" Iris looked at their expressions and questioned. "Why?"A female who was just out of her teens, one of the youn

With its winding hallways and tall, secret-filled walls, the Silver Moon packhouse had always seemed like a maze to Iris. There was a feeling of dread in the air tonight. After her escape the previous evening, the brightness of her mark had faded, but the uneasiness that still pervaded her chest had not. She's only a diversion, Damon's words still ringing in her head.Iris found herself prowling the hallways once again, determined to uncover anything to foil Damon's plans. With its dusty volumes of lost history and its secret nooks, the library seemed the most sensible place to look. The door creaked slightly behind her as she stepped inside.The room was filled with lengthy shadows as the moon shone through the lofty windows. With her mind racing, Iris ran her fingertips down the book spines. Where would she get the answers she needed? On the far wall, she saw an ancient tapestry with fading colors and tattered edges. There was something... strange about it.Her palm brushed the thic

The fortress's stone walls were bathed in a silvery glow as the moon hung low in the sky. Tension permeated the air, a subdued uneasiness that appeared to beat through the hallways like a heartbeat. With her fingertips grazing the chilly, uneven stones, Iris slid into the tight path. She had combed through old maps and decoded mysterious symbols for weeks in an attempt to find this secret route. She had finally discovered it. However, she was completely shocked by what she discovered inside.She gasped when she stepped out into the main hall. The instant she went outside, Damon's piercing stare locked onto her as he waited, lounging nonchalantly against a pillar. His black figure stood out against the dim lighting of the torches, giving him a powerful presence."What did you do inside?" His speech had the chilly edge of a sword to it.Determined not to display any weakness, Iris straightened. Even if a tempest was building within of her, she said calmly, "Looking for answers."With de
Last Updated : 2025-01-10THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 14: Aiden's Doubts
Silver and shadow were thrown on the fortress's stone walls by the moon's spectral brilliance. Leaning on the balcony railing, Aiden stared down at the courtyard. He relived the snippets of a furious exchange between Damon and Iris, their words piercing and tense. Even though he had happened upon them by chance, the weight of their conversation hung over him like a dark, ominous storm cloud.Aiden was now certain that Iris was not who she claimed to be. Damon, a guy shrouded in mysteries, was similarly mysterious. Aiden could no longer ignore the unstable equation they created together.His slumber was interrupted by the sound of footfall. When Aiden turned abruptly, he saw Iris moving quickly down the hallway with her head down as if she was deep in concentration. She moved with intention and purpose. He paused for a while, caught between interest and caution. Then he sighed resolutely and followed.The warm light of a solitary candle created shimmering shadows on the walls of Iris's

The woodland was illuminated by the moon's silvery radiance as it hung high in the nighttime sky. Iris's wrist hurt more and more, making it difficult for her to walk steadily. The brand burst with an unearthly brilliance, and she gripped her arm, teeth clenched. Even though it has burned before, it seemed stronger and more persistent tonight. It was as if the mark had a mind of its own, drawing her toward the Moonlit Clearing."Not right now," she whispered to herself as she stumbled over rough terrain and roots. But there was no use in resisting. The unrelenting force that was leading her eventually brought her to the clearing, where an odd energy was buzzing in the air.The middle of the glade was lit by a shaft of moonlight, and a shimmering figure started to take shape within it. In front of Iris stood the Moon Goddess, bright and ethereal. There was urgency in her silver eyes.The goddess murmured, "Child," her voice resonating in the breeze like a tune. "Your time is running ou

Quiet anxiety permeated the packhouse, a symphony of cautious looks and murmured words. As Iris went out the back door, Aiden stood close to the edge of the common area, staring at her. His stomach twisted uneasily as his misgivings about her tore at him. She was concealing something significant from him. And he found it increasingly difficult to trust her the more she ducked.His instincts, however, still begged him to keep her safe.Outside, the trees were softly glowing in the moonlight, although there were still shadows at the margins. As if pulled by an unseen thread, Iris walked quickly and deliberately. Careful not to draw attention to himself, Aiden trailed after her. He could no longer disregard her as a mystery.Iris arrived at a remote clearing far into the forest, where a pack of wolves stood, their stances stiff and suspicious. These were not the wolves who belonged to the pack hierarchy or Damon. These were the rebels who spoke of freedom and overthrow. Although she had

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

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."

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
