Semua Bab THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Deeper Secrets RevealedThe Hidden MysteriousThe labyrinth's atmosphere was oppressive. Lucian dabbed at his perspiration while the group continued. The walls glistened dimly, as if alive, and each turn appeared to reflect the one before it."Are we certain that this isn't just going around in circles?" One of the wolves let out a snarl, clearly frustrated.Silencing him, Lucian raised a hand. He kept his eyes on the crystal's dim light, which pulsed like a heartbeat as it bobbed inches in front of them."We are not alone," Lucian said in a quiet voice.The others' ears twitched as they froze. Lucian saw a glimmer of movement in his peripheral vision, and it sent a shiver down his spine. Even though it was only a slight ripple in the darkness, it was enough to make him uneasy.A cloaked figure appeared out of the shadows, their footsteps uncannily quiet. The light appeared to be absorbed by the figure's robes, which blended in perfectly with the surrounding darkness."Who are you?"

Betrayal in the RanksThe Suspicious SeedsThe rustle of faraway leaves was the only sound to break the extraordinary calm of the woodland. In the clearing, Damon paced, his wolf instincts tense. The tension in the air caused the hair on the back of his neck to stand up. Damon's piercing eyes focused on Lucian as he eventually emerged from the forest shadows."Where is Aiden?" Damon's voice was low but authoritative as he commanded. For too long, his pack had depended on Aiden's leadership to overlook his abrupt absence. "What brings you here without him?"Lucian's face remained steadfast as he met Damon's stare. "Aiden has a task to do. Only he is capable of handling it.Damon snarled and took a step closer, saying, "That's not an answer." His wolf lurked just beyond the surface of his suspiciously glinting eyes. "Since the beginning of this whole situation, you have been acting strangely. What do you not tell me?Lucian's mouth clenched. "You and the pack cannot understand what Aid

The Cost of PowerUnnaturally frigid air filled the room as Aiden and Iris felt the weight of invisible forces bearing down on them. Like dying embers, the dim light from the symbols on the walls wavered. Standing at the edge of the darkness, the gloomy figure exuded a commanding and oppressive presence.Iris's eyes lit with recognition, and her breath caught. The brand was burning with pain as she gripped her heated wrist. Though her voice faltered with uncertainty, she muttered, "You… you're not real."With his figure now more distinct in the low light, the man stepped forward. His eyes were an unusual shade of crimson that seemed to slice through her, and his features were keen. He smirked coldly and stated in a rich, resonant voice, "Oh, I'm very real." "And you... coming here is a big mistake."Aiden moved in front of Iris, protecting her with his body before she could respond. He drew his blade, the steel gleaming in the dim light of the room. He firmly said, "Stay behind me," k

Unseen ForcesAs Iris forced herself to rise from the chilly, uneven ground, the damp air held onto her skin. Her head ached with a pulsing pain that seemed to reflect the weak energy humming through the tunnel walls, and her breath came out in thin gasps. She felt the mark on her wrist out of instinct; it was hotter than before, and it was glowing steadily but faintly.Her voice was shaking as she whispered, "Where am I?" Her words seemed to call forth something, but the sound was nearly immediately absorbed by the suffocating blackness. She sensed a presence that she couldn't see in the air as it changed.A deep, rich voice reverberated all around her. "The truth starts and ends with you."Iris whirled around, looking for the source. Shapes formed as shadows rolled along the walls. As figures appeared, moving slowly and deliberately, her heart raced. Their postures were uncannily familiar, their faces obscured by shadow, and each one had a mark just like hers."Who are you?" Iris as

Strength in UnityThe sound of conflicting forces reverberated throughout the cavern. Iris turned to face her twin, their movements a menacing reflection of one another. Every blow and every step felt like a struggle against the weight of her uncertainties and anxieties as well as the figure in front of her.The duplicate snarled, its voice icy and scathing, "You'll never be whole." You pretend to be tough while hiding behind other people. In their absence, you are nothing."That is untrue!" Iris screamed, launching energy forward with blazing fists. It merely stumbled a little before regaining its equilibrium as the blast struck her twice square in the chest."You think you can fight me?" the double sneered as it moved forward. "Everything you've buried is me. Your suffering, your shame, and your anxiety. You must ruin yourself before you can destroy me.Iris was moved by the remarks, but she didn't falter. Her mark, a testament to the strength she possessed, blazed brightly on her
