THE 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

Theme: Loyalty TestedWith each step muffled by layers of fallen leaves, Iris scuttled through the thick woods, the night air clinging to her. Her mark tingled with an almost magnetic pull as the weak moon cast jagged shadows. She took a moment to look at the wrist bearing the odd symbol, which was dimly shining as if it were calling her on. Now that the packhouse was well behind her, she felt both liberated and afraid.The remains of an old temple towered ahead, their moss-covered stones and splintered pillars radiating a sense of solemnity. Even though she had never been here before, the mark had led her with perfect accuracy. The slight wind whispering through the ruins warned her of danger, secrets, and treachery as she drew closer. Despite her racing heart, she persisted in her quest to learn the truth.With his golden eyes narrowed, Aiden followed, hidden in the shadows. He had had enough of Iris's enigmatic disappearances and her avoidance of his inquiries. Even if it meant s

The Price of TruthThe packhouse was oppressively tense. Like a predator in a cage, Damon stalked the room, his piercing eyes fixed on Iris. The burden of his charges pressed down on her as she stood in the middle. Members of the pack hovered in the shadows around them, their interest and uneasiness evident. Though his posture was rigid and his customary confidence had been replaced by uncertainty, Aiden was by her side.At last, Damon halted, his voice a sharp growl. He growled, "Do you think I'm a fool, Iris?" Sneaking away in the middle of the night to see Lucian? Behind our backs, what falsehoods are you telling us?Even though Iris's heart was racing, she didn't back down. Despite the fury burning in Damon's eyes, she stated in a firm voice, "I'm not weaving lies." Lucian offered a truce, so I went to see him. Instead of starting a war, I was attempting to prevent one.Damon snorted, letting out a sour chuckle. "A truce? Do you believe that I am unaware of Lucian's identity? You

Allies and EnemiesThe packhouse was shrouded in darkness, and the only sound in the stillness of the night was the distant howl.Iris paced her room, her mind racing with fear and resolve. She could still clearly recall every element of the blood moon vision. She whirled around, gasping for air as the door cracked open.Lucian entered, moving quickly and silently. His eyes blazed with urgency, and his dark cloak melted into the darkness.“Lucian?” she said in a whisper, looking at the door. "Are you crazy? If somebody happens to spot you here.His voice was stern and low as he said, "I didn't come here lightly." "Damon's wolves are getting ready for battle." They have located our camp and intend to destroy it before daybreak.Iris's blood grew cold as she froze. "How are you aware?"“They were seen by scouts,” Lucian said. We are outmatched and outnumbered. It will be a massacre without assistance.The door slammed open before Iris could react. With his golden eyes flaming with rage,

Trust on the EdgeHours before, the insurgents' camp was a gloomy ghost of its former glory. The air was thick with smoke from homemade fires, blending with the metallic smell of blood. Wolves' eyes were empty with the weight of loss, and they moaned in agony as they tended to their wounds. With their faces drawn and exhausted, Iris, Aiden, and Lucian stood next to the remains of a fallen tent."This isn't sustainable," Lucian remarked in an irritated tone. "We have half of our fighters dead and the other half just barely surviving." If Damon's wolves return, we will be crushed.The brand was hotter than ever when Iris raised a quivering hand to her wrist. She felt a restless, quite lifelike pulse of energy within herself. She turned to see a young insurgent lying splayed against a tree, his respiration labored and weak. Then she walked near him without thinking."What are you doing?" Aiden moved closer and asked."Aiding," Iris answered quietly. She knelt to the wounded wolf and cov

Ghosts of the PastThe tension in the packhouse was intense. As the truth of Iris's background hung over the party, whispers began to spread like wildfire. Wolves looked at one other uneasily, their allegiance to Damon faltering in the face of the disclosures. With his glittering eyes staring at Iris with a possessiveness that made Aiden's blood boil, Caleb stood tall in the middle of it all.Aiden snarled, his voice as keen as a sword, "You're lying." With his golden eyes flaming with rage, he took a protective step in front of Iris.All Caleb could do was smirk, the kind of grin that portends calamity. "Am I? Ask her for yourself, dog. He returned his attention to Iris, who was motionless with a pale face. Iris, be honest with him. Inform him of the agreement.With her heart thumping in her chest, Iris swallowed forcefully. "When my pack fell, the pact was dissolved," she said in a steady although hushed voice. "Nothing remains to be honored."With an almost pleased grin, Caleb cock

THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 43: The Repercussions
Destruction and consequencesThe only sound to break the eerie silence that pervaded the battlefield was the slight rustle of the wind. The sharp smell of burned earth was carried by the smoke that hung in the air. Legs shaking, Aiden staggered to his feet and looked around at the mayhem."Iris!" he called in a desperate and unvarnished voice. "Where are you?"With each heartbeat resonating in his ears, the silence was oppressive. He glanced at the fallen wolves, some of whom were unconscious and others hardly moving. His chest was clawed by panic.Then he caught sight of her.Iris was kneeling on the ground in the middle of the clearing, her body shaking wildly. The mark on her wrist had faded to a faint ember, and smoke rose from her skin.Aiden hurried to her side and whispered, "Iris." He knelt and drew her into his embrace. Even though she had just radiated heat, her skin felt cold to the touch.Her eyes fluttered awake, dull and unfocused. “Aiden?” Her voice was soft, barely mo
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 42: The Choice
Transformation and SacrificeAs the Guardian's voice thundered across the meadow, the battlefield was unnaturally quiet and the air was packed with suspense.With a voice like the weight of the sky itself, it commanded, "Iris." "With the cost in mind, will you fully embrace the mark?"As the mark burned her skin with an intolerable heat, Iris stumbled backward, gripping her wrist. She said, her voice breaking, "I have no idea what it's asking of me! How can I accept something that I don't comprehend?She looked into the bright eyes of the Guardian. "Your power necessitates equilibrium. You have to give up what ties you to this planet to become its vessel."What does that even mean?" Iris broke down, tears running down her cheeks. Her voice trembled as she turned to Aiden. "I can't I'm at a loss for what to do!"Aiden stood between her and the Guardian and firmly stated, "You're not giving up anything." He faced the alien creature, his eyes burning with defiance. "Look for an alternat
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 41: The Cost of Power
Sacrifice and StrengthDawn was just peeking over the horizon, and the sky was bleeding faint orange and gray. The air smelled like approaching war, and it was chilly and biting. Iris was sitting near the edge of the meadow with her arms firmly encircling her body when Aiden discovered her. Her face was pallid in the low light, and her normally piercing stare seemed far away."Iris," Aiden whispered quietly as he walked carefully toward her. "You're not feeling well."She winced a little but kept her head down. "Aiden, I have no other option." Whatever storm was raging inside her was rough and raspy in her voice. "The mark is requesting something, but I'm not sure what it is."With his hands softly taking hers, he knelt before her. "You're not alone in this. We confront it together, no matter what it is or requires.Something briefly glowed in her eyes—hope, maybe. But when she freed one hand and rubbed it against her bright mark, it disappeared. She said, "You might not have an optio
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 40: The Guardian’s Decree
Intervention and RevelationThere was an eerie silence on the battlefield. The Guardian remained still, the clearing illuminated by the eerie light from their blazing eyes. The invisible force crushed Damon into surrender as he lay sprawled on the ground, unable to breathe."You dare wield the mark without understanding its cost?" said the Guardian thunderously.Like a verdict, the words lingered in the air. Even the most courageous of Damon's wolves shrank back into the darkness. The tension was oppressive as some of the pack's protectors moved closer to one another.With her legs shaking from the strain of fatigue and the intensity of the mark's light, Iris gripped Aiden as she fought to stand.Iris: "I never asked for this," she says hoarsely.Although her voice cracked, there was a genuine vulnerability in what she said. She was clearly afraid as she glanced up at the Guardian.For a moment, the Guardian's bright eyes wavered, softening just enough to suggest sympathy."And yet it
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 39: Falling Apart
Sacrifice and UnityAs he surged at Damon and stopped the lethal blow intended for Iris, Aiden's shout shattered the atmosphere. There was a thunderclap-like sound as their claws met, sending sparks flying across the battlefield.Snarling, Aiden says, "You won't touch her!"His muscles were stiff as he struggled against Damon's tremendous strength, and his body shook with effort.Damon (smirking): "Aiden, you won't be saved by protecting her. She's doomed already.Aiden became even more enraged at Damon's derisive tone. The older wolf snarled in frustration as he pressed his claws into Damon's arm, but Damon's grin remained fixed.Iris's body screamed in protest as she stumbled to her feet. Her wrist mark flickered wildly, its once-blinding brightness now dull and unpredictable. She forced herself to breathe through the discomfort by pressing her hand against her chest.Iris: "No," she says softly.Her voice was hardly audible above the commotion. Then she straightened, her fists cle
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 38: The Siege Begins
Invasion and DesperationAs the night wore on, the packhouse was painted a menacing red by the blood moon's dim glow. Because of the prior skirmish, there was a lot of anxiety in the air. Aiden was standing close to the glass, watching the tree line for any activity. Caleb's gaze was unreadable as he leaned against the doorway and sharpened a blade.Abruptly, the hall reverberated with the sound of quick footfall. Lucian rushed into the room, his breath ragged, his face stained with blood.Lucian said, "They’ve breached the perimeter!"Everybody froze."This time, Damon's allies aren't holding back," said Lucian, panting. Waves of them are approaching."Already strapping on his weapons, Aiden moved quickly and effectively."We need to hold them off until the others regroup," said Aiden grimly.His tone was stern as he turned to Iris."Iris, stay behind" said Aiden.Iris: "I’m not staying behind!" (interrupting).The chamber was illuminated by the strong brilliance that flashed from he

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

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
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 35: The Void of Leadership
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
