Love's StrengthIris's body shook from the effects of her last power surge, and her eyelids flickered open as she breathed in ragged gasps. She could still see the faint glow of the mark on her skin, but it was dim, like a faint echo in the distance. Her chest was pierced by Aiden's agony right away, which was raw and sharp.Her voice was scarcely heard as she muttered, "Aiden."At her side, Lucian watched her try to sit up, his face solemn. He remarked in a somber tone, "He's out there, fighting for you." "And losing."Painfully, her heart squeezed. "No," she shook her head and muttered fiercely. "I can't leave him to deal with this alone."Though her legs felt wobbly, Iris forced herself to stand. Her eyesight clouded as she staggered. Caleb arrived and caught her with unexpected power before she could fall.Caleb stated in a worried tone, "Iris, you can't even stand." He steadied her with a firm grip on her shoulders. "You are not in a position to assist him.""I don't care," Iris

Unlikely Allies Like a rallying cry, Lucian's voice pierced the confusion and reverberated over the battlefield. "This cannot be won by Damon!"His wolves growled and howled in unison, their expressions displaying a furious determination. Unexpectedly, the rebels charged forward from the treeline and launched a rear attack on Damon's soldiers. The enemy ranks were shaken by the unexpected attack.Standing next to each other, Aiden and Iris battled with unparalleled accuracy, their relationship enabling every blow, every motion, and every breath. They couldn't be stopped together. Iris's energy hummed with each wave she put out, and Aiden's claws sliced through the air, driving Damon's wolves back.As they battled, Aiden's eyes met hers and he whispered, "I never doubted you," in a raspy but adoring voice.Iris's eyes glistened with a fire equal to his own, and her lips formed a vicious smile. Even when the air around her rumbled with raw strength, she answered steadily, "Then don't s

New Beginnings and BetrayalThe packhouse's great hall was alive with activity. Glasses clinked, laughter resounded, and the aroma of honeyed wine and roasting meat filled the air. I should have been pleased to be the Luna of the Silver Moon Pack, standing in the middle of it all. However, something felt off. My fingers clenched around my glass's fragile stem. All eyes were on me as the ceremonial toast was about to start.Lyra stood next to me and said, "You look nervous." She smiled warmly, but there was something in her eyes that I couldn't identify."Do I?" I said, suppressing a little chuckle. "Perhaps it's the gravity of the situation."She brushed a stray hair off my cheek as she drew closer. "Nadia, you'll be all right. You own this evening.I should have been reassured by her comments, but they didn't. For years, Lyra had been my closest friend and confidante throughout all of Luna's difficulties. But something about her tone tonight made my stomach turn.I raised my glass

Second Chances Before me, the forest went on forever, the thick trees whispering secrets in the refreshing wind. Every step I took hurt my body, and I felt the weight of fatigue dragging me down. The allure of the Silver Moon Pack's boundaries was too great to ignore, even if I had no clue how far I had gone.Once my home and haven, the pack was now a battleground that I had to negotiate cautiously. I was no longer the Luna they knew as Iris. Rogues were seldom welcomed, and I was a stranger.I staggered into an open space as the trees became thinner. With a shaky, broken gasp, I collapsed to my knees as my legs failed me."Just stop there!"I felt a shiver go down my spine because of the harsh, authoritative voice. A patrol of wolves emerged from the darkness as I glanced up, their postures prepared for battle and their gaze cautious.There was one in particular, towering, broad-shouldered, and exuding power. Aiden.The world seemed to stop for a second as his gaze met mine. He had

Deception and IdentityThat morning was quieter than normal in the packhouse, but it wasn't reassuring. Like the quiet before a storm, it was heavy.I was sitting on the side of my bed when there was a loud, authoritative knock. The door opened and Aiden entered before I could respond.I tried to hide my nervousness by mumbling, "Good morning to you, too."He didn't answer. Rather, his gaze skimmed over me, evaluating. He urged, "Come with me," in a tone that left no space for disagreement.Every step I took echoed in the empty hall as I followed him. He ushered me into a little office that seemed menacing despite its lack of furnishings. Leaning against the door with his arms folded, Aiden shut it behind us.He gestured to the chair across from his desk and said, "Sit."I sank into the seat and obeyed after hesitating. I could feel the weight of his unwavering, penetrating stare bearing down on me.He started by saying, "Let's cut the pleasantries." "What brought you here, and who a

Hidden TrustsThe packhouse was quieter than normal in the morning, but there was still a lot of tension in the corners, dense and unsaid. The sensation that I was being watched persisted. Perhaps Aiden's residual doubts were the cause. Or maybe it was Lyra's piercing eyes as if she was waiting for me to make a mistake.I decided to fit in more and try to allay the pack's suspicions. They had to trust me, or at the very least, stop treating me as if I didn't belong, if I wanted answers.I didn't anticipate the chance.I heard a piercing shriek as I was moving across the courtyard, and it made my heart skip a beat."Please, just give me some space!" a little voice pleaded.When I rounded the corner, I saw a bunch of elder wolves around a young omega who was no older than a kid. They shoved him against the wall while sneering and laughing.One of them shoved the boy's shoulder and said, "You're nothing but a runt." Why don't you just break away from the group? Nobody wants you here.My

Regret and LoveThe packhouse's big windows let in moonlight, which streaked the walls in gentle silver. I had been mindlessly walking the hallways, hoping that the movement would calm my racing thoughts. Under my sleeve, the mark on my wrist continued to pulse slightly, serving as a continual reminder of what the Moon Goddess had spoken.I turned a bend and came to a sudden halt.In the lounge, sitting by himself was Aiden. He was staring at the ceiling with his head cocked back and his large shoulders sagging. In his palm lay a tumbler of amber liquid, almost empty.I paused. It tightened my chest to see him like this, vulnerable, without his normal powerful presence. However, my curiosity prevailed."Have trouble falling asleep?" I entered the room and inquired quietly.His piercing eyes narrowed for a second before melting as his head swung toward me. "I could ask you the same thing," he said in a scratchy, low voice.I leaned against the doorframe and said, "I don't sleep well i

The slight pulse of the mark on Iris's wrist served as a rhythmic reminder of her intertwined fate. As she went through the darkened packhouse hallways, she caressed it absently. She could still hear Lyra's veiled menace, a silk-wrapped, jagged sword. "Iris, keep your place. Or you may end up in a worse situation than you were in the beginning.Iris's fists clenched. Worse off? She had previously experienced betrayal, poisoning, and expulsion from her own life. Could they take any more?Her tumultuous thoughts were interrupted by the muffled sound of rustling at her window. The subtle metallic smell of blood filled her nostrils. Rogues. Running to the window, she looked out. A figure's shadow crept past the packhouse and headed quickly into the woods.She felt a blaze of curiosity and suspicion. Silently, she followed the figure into the thick woodland, her feet deliberate and practiced. Unsettling patterns appeared on the ground as the silver moonlight poured through the trees. Despi

THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 47: The Mark's Wrath
Power UnleashedThe forest's tension reached a breaking point. Damon straightened up and fixed his gaze on Iris, who had now let go of something untamed and unrestrained. Iris shouted, her voice resonating with the intensity of a storm as Damon moved toward her, his hideous form towering like a shadow.In reaction to Damon's assault, the mark on her flesh erupted with flaming light and sprang to life. She exuded an astounding amount of energy. Damon and everyone else around her staggered back as a shockwave ripped through the air.Stumbling from the shock of the blow, Damon hissed and raked his claws across the air. "That power." His voice shook with anger and shock. "I should have it!"Even though Iris's eyes were burning intensely, there was something cold and remote about them. Her voice was so unrecognizable that it seemed hollow. "You're after the mark? Then confront its fury.In startled stillness, Aiden watched. As Iris's power surged around her, his heart beat with fear and wo
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 46: The Start of the Siege
Relentless AssaultAs Damon's men broke through the dense trees and swarmed the clearing with deadly accuracy, the forest reverberated with their frantic growls and snarls. The earth beneath them shook with each stride of the approaching attack, and the tension in the air was oppressive. As the alpha of the pack, Aiden's instincts took over, and his heart pounded in his chest. He was in the vanguard, resolutely confronting the impending danger."Remain calm! Keep the packhouse safe! With a voice like a razor slicing through the confusion, Aiden yelled. His gaze strayed to his fellow pack members as they prepared, their weapons ready.Iris stood behind him, her mark burning as fiercely as the fire in her eyes. Despite her calm, there was an unnerving undercurrent of something unstable and dangerous in her eyes."Aiden, I won't hide. Iris said resolutely, her voice unwavering, her posture prepared for combat, "I'm fighting."With a worried frown, Aiden turned to face her. "Your power i

Secrets ResurfaceIn the dream "Iris." Her attention was drawn to the person in the pale silver light by the quiet yet authoritative voice."You again?" Iris's fists clenched as she spoke sharply. "Why do you haunt me so much?"The Moon Goddess stated in a level voice, "This isn't about haunting." "This is about getting you ready.""For what purpose?" Iris raised her voice and demanded. "You've only caused me suffering and cryptic warnings. What are you looking for from me?With penetrating eyes, the Moon Goddess took a step closer. "The last trial is approaching. The moment that will determine not only your destiny but also that of everyone who comes after you.Iris shook her head, her breath catching. "I didn't request this. I have no idea what this power is requesting of me."It requires equilibrium," the Moon Goddess answered. "And whether you are deserving of using it will be decided by the trial.""What sort of trial is it?" Iris was so scared and frustrated that her voice broke
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 44: The Revealed Prophecy
Sacrifice and TruthIris gripped his hand and trembled as she muttered, "Aiden." The mark on her wrist began to glow a little brighter, throbbing steadily. "I noticed it once more. The idea You were the only one opposing Damon. YouWith an uncompromising tone, Aiden interrupted her, saying, "That's not happening." She was forced to look into his eyes as he cupped her face. "I can't let this prophecy determine how it ends because we've been through too much."Her voice was hardly heard as she said, "You don't understand." Her fingers clenched around his as tears glistened in her eyes. It was more than just a brawl. It was the end.Aiden's jaw tightened as he spoke forcefully, "The end for him." Not us. Never us.The Guardian's words echoed like thunder and seemed to come out of nowhere as the air around them became heavy.The voice, icy and uninterested, said, "The bond between you will be tested." "On the final reckoning, only one can stand.""Stop talking!" With a roar, Aiden stood
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
