All Chapters of Luna's Awakening : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I opened my eyes and saw Xander beside me. “Aurora,” he breathed, relief flooding his features. “You're awake. How do you feel?”I tried to get up, but I winced because pain was running through my body. “Am fine,” I groaned. “What happened?”Xander gently pushed me back onto the pillows. “There was an explosion in the clearing. We found you unconscious. Do you remember anything?”The memories came rushing back – the battle, chasing the red-eyed wolf into the forest, and then… “Ryder Storm,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “The Rogue King.”Xander's expression darkened. “What did he say to you, Aurora?”I recounted my encounter with Ryder, trying to remember every detail. As I spoke, I could see the concern in Xander's eyes growing.“He said I've been lied to my entire life,” I finished, my voice shaking slightly. “That there's some truth about my heritage that's been hidden from me. And he… he mentioned my mother. Said he knew her better than anyone.”Xander was silent for a

Everything around me turned chaotic as Ryder's rogues fought against us. The air was full of angry noises and the horrible sounds of people hurting each other. I stayed where I was, feeling a strong energy flowing through me, stronger than I've ever felt it.Taking a big breath, I used that energy, feeling it grow inside me until I couldn't hold it back anymore. I let out a strong burst of energy that pushed the rogues away from me. The sight of their bodies tumbling through the air gave our side a momentary boost of confidence.“Nice work,” Xander said, suddenly at my side. His presence calmed me, grounding me in the midst of the madness. We moved together, our actions perfectly in sync, as we fought off rogue after rogue. It felt like a deadly dance, and Xander and I were the star performers.But our moment of harmony was short-lived. Through the sea of battling wolves, I saw a pair of glowing red eyes fixed on me. Ryder Storm was coming, cutting a path straight toward us with singu

I stumbled through the thick woods, feeling my body hurt with each move. The things that happened in the temple kept coming back to me – fighting with Ryder, the strange wolf helping me, and the terrible time when Ryder caught my rescuer. I felt bad and wanted to continue, even though I was exhausted. Out of nowhere, I noticed a change in the atmosphere. The unseen wall that kept me away from my group was gone, and I was near our campsite. I felt happy, but also exhausted. My legs couldn't hold me up anymore, and I fell down. “Aurora!” Xander's voice broke through my pain and tiredness. He was by my side in no time, holding me in his arms. His familiar smell – like pine trees, dirt, and home – made me cry. “Call the healer!” Xander yelled, his voice shaking his chest. “Hurry!” As gentle hands tended to my wounds, I recounted everything that had happened in the temple. Xander listened intently, his expression growing darker with each word. “A mysterious wolf?” he asked, his brow fu

I felt a sudden burst of energy, a mix of bright light and dark shadows reacting to my command. Ryder's rogues surrounded me, their eyes showing a strong desire for a fight, but I was prepared. The careful control of my recently acquired skills was buzzing under my skin, ready to be used.When they charged, I moved quickly and smoothly, dodging their attacks. My long practice and improved senses helped me predict their moves before they happened. I turned, barely escaping a pair of very sharp claws, my heart beating loudly in my head.“Is that all you've got?” I taunted, my voice steadier than I felt.Sensing an opportunity, I gathered my strength and unleashed a pulse of pure light energy. The burst exploded outward, momentarily blinding and disorienting the rogues. Their howls of confusion and pain filled the air, giving me a fleeting sense of satisfaction.In the confusion, I saw a chance to escape. I didn't think twice and ran as fast as I could, hoping to get away. But then, some

It wasn't until then that I finally woke up and realized I was lying in a small, dark cell. Heavy air hung low with the smell of damp rock, accompanied by a hint of something else: a scent both far too familiar, yet somehow too out of place to be captured by my memory. My body was sore all over from the traumatic experience of what Ryder had attempted with that ritual. Despite the pain, I made myself take in the scene around me.That's when I saw him—the mysterious wolf we had been trying to rescue. He was chained to the opposite wall, his fur matted and his body bearing signs of long captivity. But it was his eyes that caught my attention. They seemed to bore into me with an intensity that felt… familiar.“Aurora,” the wolf called out, his voice weak but carrying a tone that sent a shiver of recognition through me. “Aurora, is that really you?”With an effort, I struggled to my feet, my body aching. My heart was racing as I moved toward the wolf chained there.“Who are you?” I whispe
