Angelina’s POV

The mirror shattered into a thousand jagged pieces, shards raining down onto the floor like fallen stars. A strangled gasp escaped my lips as I scrambled back, my pulse pounding in my ears.

The reflection—her reflection—was gone.

The room was deathly silent, the air thick with tension. My heart raced, my breaths shallow and uneven.

What the hell just happened?

I hesitated before standing, my bare feet barely making a sound as I approached the broken glass. My pulse throbbed as I crouched down, staring at the shards scattered across the floor.

And then, I saw it.

Among the fractured pieces of the mirror, one shard remained intact, its surface glimmering under the dim moonlight seeping through the window.

And in it—

Her eyes.

Silver. Hollow. Staring back at me.

I recoiled, knocking into the edge of the bed. My chest tightened, a cold wave of fear settling deep in my bones.

This wasn’t normal.

This wasn’t just a vision.

She was trying to reach me.

I swallowed hard, my mind

  • The Rogue Luna   Chapter 62

    Angelina’s POVThe weight of the revelation sat heavy in my chest, pressing against my ribs like an invisible force. My ancestor had died protecting something—something powerful. And now, the echoes of her past were bleeding into my present.Luca’s grip on my shoulders was firm but not forceful, grounding me as I tried to steady my breath. Mira had gone quiet, her sharp gaze assessing me like a puzzle she was trying to piece together.I swallowed hard. “She died for it, Luca. And now…” I exhaled sharply. “Now, someone is looking for it again.”Mira nodded, tossing a handful of herbs into the smoldering flames at the center of her cabin. The scent curled through the air, earthy and ancient.“She didn’t just protect it,” Mira murmured. “She hid it. And whatever it is… it’s bound to your bloodline.”My stomach twisted.“Then that means—” I began, my voice catching in my throat.Mira turned to me, her expression unreadable. “It means you might be the only one who can find it.”Luca tensed

  • The Rogue Luna   Chapter 63

    Angelina’s POVThe room was suffocating. Not from the air, but from the weight of what I had just learned.I was the secret they had been looking for.The bloodline. The magic. The thing that Elara had died protecting—it was inside me.And they didn’t know yet.Luca’s grip on my arms remained firm, steadying me as if I might crumble under the weight of this knowledge. His expression was unreadable, but his body was tense, his instincts already shifting into protective mode.Mira, however, was silent.Her green eyes studied me with an intensity that made my skin prickle.“You were always the key,” she finally said. “From the moment you were born, this was inside you. Lying dormant. Waiting.”A shiver ran down my spine. “Waiting for what?”Mira exhaled, reaching for a small pouch on her table. She emptied its contents onto her palm—a handful of shimmering, white powder. With slow, deliberate movements, she tossed it into the fire.The flames surged, twisting and turning, forming shadows

  • The Rogue Luna   Chapter 64

    Angelina’s POVThe morning air was crisp, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine. My fingers curled around the strap of my bag, my heart pounding as I stood at the edge of Mira’s cabin, staring out into the endless stretch of forest ahead.We were really doing this.The ruins of the old council.The thought sent a shiver down my spine. I had read about the place in history books—the fallen stronghold of an ancient order, the site of blood pacts and betrayals. The last known location of my mother before she vanished into legend.I inhaled deeply, pushing my fears aside. There was no turning back now.Luca emerged from the cabin, his sharp eyes scanning the tree line. His entire body was tense, his protective instincts in full force. “We leave in five minutes.”Mira stood nearby, arms crossed, her usual smirk absent. “Be careful,” she said, her voice softer than usual.I nodded. “Thank you, Mira. For everything.”She waved a hand dismissively. “Don’t thank me yet. I have a feeling th

    Angelina’s POVThe morning came too soon. The remnants of my dream still clung to my mind, heavy and unsettling. I stared at the dying embers of the fire, watching the last bits of warmth flicker into the cold morning air.Elara’s voice still echoed inside me.The choice is yours.But I didn’t even know what choice she meant.I turned my gaze toward Luca. He was already awake, his sharp eyes scanning the forest around us, ever watchful. His fingers rested against the hilt of his blade, his muscles tense despite the calm of our surroundings.He hadn’t slept.I sat up slowly, my body stiff from the hard ground. “You didn’t rest.”Luca didn’t look at me. “Couldn’t.”I studied him. There were dark circles beneath his eyes, but more than that, there was something else—something deeper. A weight he wasn’t speaking about.“Luca.” My voice was soft. “Tell me what’s on your mind.”He finally turned to me, his expression unreadable. “You were talking in your sleep.”I stiffened. “What did I say

    Angelina’s POVThe ruins felt colder now. As if the moment I made my choice, something unseen had shifted.Elara’s silver eyes held mine, searching, waiting. Luca’s grip on my arm was firm, grounding me, but I could feel the tension radiating off him.I had chosen.And yet—nothing had happened.The air was thick with anticipation, as if the ruins themselves were waiting for something.Luca’s voice was low, cautious. “What now?”Elara smiled faintly. “Now? You step forward.”I swallowed hard, my pulse hammering against my ribs. My feet felt heavy, almost as if the ground itself was resisting my movement.But I forced myself to move.One step.Another.And then—The ground trembled.Luca’s grip tightened, but I barely registered it. My focus was on the space before me, where the air shimmered and warped, like heat rising from a summer road.A door appeared.Ancient. Towering.Etched with symbols I didn’t recognize but somehow understood.Luca swore under his breath. “That wasn’t there b

    Angelina’s POV The ruins had never felt so quiet.I could hear my own heartbeat, steady yet foreign, as if it belonged to someone else.Luca’s hands gripped my shoulders, his warmth grounding me, but he looked at me like I had become something unrecognizable.And maybe I had.I inhaled deeply, trying to steady myself. The air tasted different—sharper, charged with energy that hadn’t been there before.“Angelina.” Luca’s voice was low, cautious. “What happened?”I met his gaze.How could I explain it?How could I put into words the feeling of standing before my ancestors, of awakening something within me that had been buried for centuries?I swallowed hard. “I… remembered.”Luca’s eyes darkened. “Remembered what?”Everything.The bloodline. The power.The truth of who I was.I didn’t know how I knew, but it pulsed through me like a second heartbeat.I pulled away from Luca’s hold, stepping back. His fingers twitched as if he wanted to reach for me again, but he didn’t.Elara watched f

    Angelina’s POV The silence after they left was thick, suffocating. The night air pressed against my skin, heavy with the weight of unspoken words.Luca hadn’t moved. His posture remained rigid, his breathing controlled but sharp.I could feel the tension rolling off him, but more than that—I could feel his worry.Elara was the first to break the silence. “They’ll return sooner than you think.”Luca exhaled harshly, dragging a hand through his hair before turning to face her. “Who the hell were they?”Elara didn’t look at him. She looked at me.“They were sent for her.”I swallowed, my pulse steady even though a storm was raging inside me. “Why?”Elara tilted her head slightly. “Because they felt your awakening.”I clenched my fingers. The power hummed beneath my skin, familiar now, but still new enough that I didn’t fully understand it.Luca’s gaze burned into me. “You said you remembered. What does that mean?”I hesitated. Not because I didn’t want to answer, but because I didn’t kn

    Angelina’s POV The weight of Zane’s words lingered in the air long after he spoke.The Elders are alive.My fingers curled into fists at my sides. I could still feel the residual energy in my veins, the power thrumming beneath my skin. It was no longer a question of if they would come for me. It was only a matter of when.Luca’s voice cut through the tense silence. “How many of them are left?”Zane exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. “I don’t have an exact number, but from what I gathered, at least six.”Elara’s expression darkened. “Six Elders?”Zane nodded. “And each one of them is more powerful than the last.”I swallowed down the unease creeping up my spine. My instincts were screaming that this was bigger than I had initially realized.Luca crossed his arms over his chest. “How do you know all this?”Zane met his gaze evenly. “I’ve been tracking them for years. Ever since I started noticing movements in the shadows—whispers of something rising from the ashes.”I narrowed my e

  • The Rogue Luna   Chapter 117

    The wind howled through the ruined temple as we stood at the precipice of the final battle. The sky churned with dark clouds, unnatural in their movements, as if the world itself knew what was coming. A storm was brewing—not just in the heavens, but in our souls.I could feel it. The darkness. The raw, unrestrained energy that had been sealed away for centuries, now clawing its way back into existence.And at the heart of it all, him.The one who had orchestrated it from the shadows.The one who had betrayed Lunara all those years ago.And the one who now stood before me, watching with eyes that glowed like molten fire.Malakai.I took a slow step forward, my pulse steady even as my body braced for what was to come. Luca and Damien flanked me, their presence grounding me, but I knew—this was my fight.Malakai smiled, his voice like silk laced with poison. “So, you finally remember.”I clenched my fists, power humming beneath my skin. “I do.”His smile widened. “Then you know why this

    The weight of the revelation pressed down on me like a crushing tide. My breath came in short, shallow gasps as I stared at the altar, the symbols etched into its stone glowing with an eerie light.The last of my kind. A forgotten bloodline. A ritual that would unlock the truth.Every nerve in my body screamed at me to stop—to turn away before I unleashed something I couldn’t control.But I had come too far to stop now.I forced myself to stand, my legs trembling beneath me. Luca’s hand shot out to steady me, his touch firm yet careful.“Angelina,” he said, his voice low, controlled. “Are you sure about this?”I looked up at him, into those dark eyes that had seen too much, endured too much because of me. I could see the war raging inside him—his need to protect me battling against the understanding that I needed to do this.I nodded. “I have to be.”Damien exhaled sharply behind me. “Well, this is either going to be a breakthrough or an absolute disaster.”I ignored him and stepped t

    The figure’s silver eyes burned into mine, their glow the only source of illumination in the endless void around us. My breath hitched, my heart hammering as I struggled to process their words.“Who are you?”It was such a simple question, yet it sent a shiver down my spine.Because I didn’t know the answer.I had been an omega—weak, unwanted, discarded. Then, I had been a wife—betrayed, used, thrown away. Now, I was something else entirely.Something more.The figure took a step forward, their form shifting as if they weren’t entirely bound to this plane. I instinctively tensed, ready to run if I had to, but something about them held me in place.“You don’t know yet, do you?” the voice mused, a strange mixture of amusement and something… deeper. Something ancient.My hands curled into fists at my sides. “I don’t know what you mean.”They tilted their head, as if observing me more closely. “You stand at the edge of two worlds, yet you belong to neither. The blood in your veins remembe

    The clearing was silent, the air thick with tension. My pulse pounded in my ears as I tried to steady my breath, my body still tingling from the power that had surged through me. The creatures lay scattered, their twisted forms crumpled against the trees. But the silence wasn’t reassuring. It felt like the calm before a storm.Luca’s grip on my arm was firm but not painful, grounding me as I wobbled slightly on my feet. His eyes bore into mine, dark and unreadable. “Angelina,” he said, his voice low but urgent, “what did you feel?”I swallowed hard, my throat dry.How could I explain something I didn’t even understand?“It was like…” I hesitated, searching for the right words. “For a moment, when my power touched them, I could hear something. Not words, exactly, but—” I stopped, frustrated.“A connection?” Damien guessed, his gaze sharp.I nodded slowly. “Yes. It felt… ancient. And familiar, somehow. Like a whisper in the back of my mind.”Luca exchanged a glance with Damien, somethin

  • The Rogue Luna   Chapter 113

    The forest remained eerily quiet as we moved forward, the only sound coming from the rustling leaves beneath our feet. The adrenaline was still coursing through my veins, making my fingers tremble slightly, but I forced myself to stay focused. Whatever had just happened—whatever power I had used—I needed to understand it. Control it. Because if I didn’t, it could consume me.Luca’s gaze flickered to me every few seconds, as if he was assessing me, trying to make sense of what I had done. He wasn’t the only one. Damien, who had been tense and sharp through every battle, was unusually quiet. He kept his distance, but I could feel his eyes on me too, wary and calculating.I didn’t blame them.Even I wasn’t sure what I had become.I clenched my fists at my sides and focused on the path ahead. The trees had started to thin, the density of the forest giving way to a faint, silvery mist. It curled around our legs, making it feel like the ground itself was shifting beneath us.“We’re close,”

  • The Rogue Luna    Chapter 112

    The darkness of the forest pressed in on all sides, the shadows seeming to stretch further with each passing minute. The air was thick with the smell of wet earth, and the distant rustle of leaves only heightened the sensation of being followed. Every step felt heavier, as though the forest itself was conspiring against us, drawing us deeper into its labyrinth of twisted trees and tangled underbrush. The weight of the unknown pressed down on my chest, suffocating me.I had always known that power came at a cost, but I had never fully understood it until now. The force that surged within me—this strange, dangerous energy—was both a gift and a curse. Each time I used it, I felt like I was losing a part of myself. I wasn’t just tapping into some external source of power; I was becoming something else. Something more dangerous.And the worst part? I didn’t know if I could control it.Luca’s presence beside me was a steadying force, though. His calm, unshakable demeanor seemed to balance o

  • The Rogue Luna   Chapter 111

    The forest was suffocating. Even though the cool night air should have offered some relief, it felt oppressive, heavy with the weight of danger that lurked just beyond the shadows. I couldn’t shake the feeling that we weren’t alone, that the darkness was closing in around us. Every crack of a branch, every rustle of leaves sent my pulse racing.Luca’s grip on my arm was firm but gentle, as if sensing my anxiety. He didn’t speak, but I could feel the quiet strength radiating off him, steady and unwavering. Despite everything that had happened, I found comfort in his presence. There was a calm in him that I didn’t have, a peace that somehow anchored me in the chaos.We moved quickly, following Damien as he led us through the dense trees. His eyes darted from side to side, scanning for any movement, any sign of a threat. I could see the exhaustion on his face, the way his breath came in shallow gasps. We had all been through so much already, and it felt like there was no end in sight.“A

  • The Rogue Luna   Chapter 110

    The air was thick with tension, the stench of earth and decay mixing with the sharp scent of danger that was creeping in on all sides. My heart raced, and my chest tightened as the power within me surged once more, a raw, untamed force that I struggled to keep at bay. I could feel it, like an electric pulse beneath my skin, urging me to unleash it, to let it consume everything around me. But I fought it. I had to. I couldn’t let it take control. Not again.The creatures—there were more of them now—surrounded us, their glowing eyes flickering like embers in the darkness. Each one was larger than the last, their bodies sleek and muscled, their claws scraping the ground with a sound that sent shivers down my spine. They were closing in, their low growls vibrating through the ground beneath my feet. It was only a matter of time before they attacked.Luca stood beside me, his presence a calming force amidst the chaos. His hand was on my arm, grounding me, but even he couldn’t hide the tens

  • The Rogue Luna   Chapter 109

    The forest stretched endlessly before me, its towering trees standing like silent sentinels, casting long shadows across the ground. The air was thick with the scent of pine and earth, the stillness of the morning broken only by the rustling of leaves beneath our feet. My heart beat steadily in my chest, though every step felt heavier than the last, weighed down by the unease gnawing at me.Luca walked beside me, his presence like a steady anchor, grounding me in a world that seemed to be spinning out of control. His gaze was fixed ahead, but every so often, his dark eyes would flicker to me, searching for something. I didn’t know what he was looking for—maybe reassurance, maybe fear—but I didn’t have the answers he wanted. Not yet.We had made it through the night, but the danger was far from over. The creatures that had attacked us in the forest, the ones that had been stalking us from the shadows, were still out there. And whatever power was stirring inside me, whatever it was that
