THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 78: Iris’s Awakening
The Link StrengthensWhen Iris opened her eyes, she saw a silvery mist that stretched on forever. Dense air pressed like invisible chains against her skin. The mark on her wrists pulsed in time with her heartbeat, giving them a faint glow. It seemed alive as if it were calling to something or someone in the distance.The ground beneath her bare feet rippled as though it were liquid as she took a cautious step forward. “Where am I?” she whispered, her voice resonating strangely in the silence."Lost."She spun around as the word slithered through the air. In front of her was a tall, cloaked figure with its face hidden. It emitted a dark, ominous energy that made her stomach turn.The figure said in a low, hateful voice, "Child, you've been caught in the threads of fate."Iris clenched her fists at her sides and narrowed her eyes. "I have no place here."The figure tilted its head, as though amused by her defiance. “Don’t you? You’ve taken this path freely, and now you must face the con

Trial by LightThe Bridge of LivingAs Aiden and the gang came out onto a rocky plateau, the foliage began to shrink. A huge gap lay in front of them, its depths obscured by a never-ending blackness that looked to be pulsing with life. An old bridge stretched across the emptiness, cracked and corroded, its surface shining dimly with complex, shifting patterns.With his hand on his blade, Lucian examined the bridge. "This is where we're headed?"Aiden looked down at the crystal he was holding. Its light became brighter, pulsing against his hand as if it were desperate to get out. Then suddenly it was floating in midair, out of his reach.With a stride toward the bridge, Aiden remarked, "It's testing us.""Exactly testing us for what?" There was a steely edge to Lucian's words. "The whole trip seems like one never-ending trap."Aiden remained silent. He went for the crystal instead, but it sprang forward and positioned itself just above the bridge's first step. He stepped forward cautio

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 77: The Shadow’s Pursuit
Danger in Every StepWith the tall trees creating long shadows in the dim moonlight, the forest closed in on them. The crystal on Aiden's chest glowed dimly as he guided the group through the brush. Its throbbing rhythm, which led them but provided little solace, felt alive.Beside him, Lucian jogged, his keen eyes darting between the twisted trunks and the changing shadows. The remainder of the pack dispersed, moving with caution but effective.With his voice barely above a snarl, Lucian whispered, "Something's following us."Aiden nodded without giving him a look. "I sense it too."The snap of a twig beneath their boots was the only sound to break the oppressive silence. The silence was suddenly broken by a rumbling growl.Everybody froze.The shadows themselves appeared to gather from the gloom, taking on hideous forms. Glistening eyes stared at the group as creatures with long limbs and wriggling, fluid shapes appeared. Their growls were low and guttural, reverberating through the

Revelations and ChoicesIntricate designs carved onto the walls and ceiling were illuminated by the chamber's brilliant golden light. With caution, the group entered, their footsteps resonating in the large, quiet room.A pedestal with a smooth, dimly lit surface stood in the middle of the chamber. A little crystal, throbbing with light that appeared to alternate between violet and gold, rested atop it.Lucian mumbled, "This feels wrong," as his palm automatically went to his blade's hilt.Aiden stared intently at the crystal. His actions were methodical as he took a step nearer, the shard in his fingers shaking fiercely as though it were being drawn toward the pedestal.Lucian said in a strained voice, "Aiden." "We have no idea what that is. That might be a trap."It's not," Aiden said in a firm voice. This has to do with her. I sense it.The pack looked at each other warily but remained silent. As Aiden extended his hand and touched the crystal's surface, a mixture of excitement an

Proving Worthiness Facing the ChallengeThe room was oppressively quiet as the shadows closed in, their forms moving like smoke yet filled with danger. The air seemed to hum with an alien energy, thick and choking. Aiden’s fingers tightened around the bright shard in his hand, its throbbing light the only comfort in the darkness.A voice, deep and powerful, broke the quiet. “Only the worthy may pass.”The shadows shifted, merging into a single person at the chamber's center. Its outline hardened, showing a huge wolf-like creature with bright crimson eyes and broken, black fur that shimmered like obsidian. Its voice rumbled like faraway thunder. “Prove your strength, resolve, and heart, or face annihilation.”Aiden stepped forward without reluctance. “We’re here for Iris. Whatever test you have, I’ll take it.”Lucian grabbed his arm. “Are you insane? This isn’t just a fight—it’s a death sentence.”Aiden shook him off, his eyes locked on the thing. “If Iris went through this, so can I.”
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 74: Secrets Buried Deep Scene
The Temple’s WarningThe road wound sharply through the tunnel, its rocky terrain becoming more dangerous with every step. Jagged shadows stretched across the ground, and the air hung thick with dread. Aiden pressed forward, his eyes locked on the glowing shard in his hand.Lucian caught up to him, his voice low but anxious. “Aiden, this path might be a trap. Think about it. Whoever…or whatever…left this trail knew someone would follow.”Aiden didn’t slow, his jaw set. “It’s a risk we have to take. Iris is calling us. This shard is proof.”Behind them, the pack muttered uncomfortably, their unease rising as they moved deeper into the unknown country.The trail stopped suddenly before an old stone building, half-buried in the earth. Thick plants crawled up its worn surface, and dim, glowing symbols marked the doorway of its entrance.“What is this place?” one of the smaller dogs asked, her voice shaking.Aiden stepped closer, his breath catching as the shard’s glow pulsed in beat with

Call to Action Aiden jolted awake, his heart beating as the faint voice repeated in his ears. It wasn’t just a dream he was sure of it. “She’s alive,” he said aloud, his voice shaking with confidence. The room was still dim, the first rays of dawn barely reaching the horizon. Across from him, Lucian leaned against the doorframe, his face blank.“Aiden, you need to stop,” Lucian said softly, though his tone carried the weight of tiredness. “We all want to believe she’s out there, but—” “She is,” Aiden interrupted, standing suddenly. His fists clenched at his sides. “I heard her, Lucian. She’s living, and she’s waiting for us to find her.”Lucian sighed, his shoulders dropping. “You don’t know that. You’re running on hope, not facts. That’s scary, Aiden.” “I’d rather hold onto hope than sit here doing nothing while she’s out there alone,” Aiden shot back, his voice rising. “Are you going to give up on her that easily?”Lucian winced, shame flashing across his face, but he held his

A World Without IrisThe air was thick with ash and an awful quiet. The once-thriving forest was now a tomb of burned trees and burning earth. Aiden stood amidst the ruins, his chest heaving as his eyes darted across the battlefield.“Iris!” he yelled, his voice cracking with despair. The sounds of his call faded into the suffocating quiet.Lucian approached from behind, his steps careful. His face was grim, and his normal swagger was replaced by something far more fragile. “Aiden,” he began softly, as though afraid the words themselves would destroy his friend.“No,” Aiden interrupted, shaking his head fiercely. “She’s not gone. She can’t be gone.”Lucian’s eyes flickered with pity, but his tone remained strong. “You saw what happened. That burst of light… it devoured everything. Even her.”“Shut up!” Aiden snapped, turning around to face him. “You don’t know that! You didn’t see her… she was stronger than anything I’ve ever” His voice broke, and he turned away, tightening his hands
THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON Chapter 71
Iris’s TransformationThe battlefield was deathly quiet in the wake of the chasm’s fall. Dust and garbage hung in the air, veiling the moonlight. Aiden stumbled to his feet, his legs shaking beneath him. His breath caught when he saw her.Where Iris once stood, a glowing figure now emerged, and her body changed. The mark on her wrist had spread, golden veins spreading out like complex plants over her arms and neck, pulsing with light. Her eyes glowed with an alien brightness, no longer their normal color but a liquid gold, sparkling with raw power.Aiden whispered, “Iris…?”She didn’t immediately reply, her attention locked on the other figure before her.Malric stepped closer, his silver eyes sharpening with wonder. “Fascinating,” he said, his voice low and aggressive. “I didn’t think you capable of such a change. Perhaps there’s more to you than I gave credit for.”Iris tilted her head slightly, her face unclear. When she spoke, her voice carried dual-nondual toners and one filled w
