All Chapters of Chasing my Luna : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 42: Into the InfernoWind shrieked through the night as we rode grim and hard for the eastern fortress, and the gravity of the coming thing felt like an iron hand kneading my chest. The Order had stripped away so many parts of me. My home. My future. My peace.But they had never taken my kids away from me. And they never would.I gripped the reins, pushing my horse faster. Ethan rode next to me, jaw set with rage, eyes dark with intent.“You’re too quiet,” he said, his voice and the wind competing for sound.I sighed, still looking out over the horizon. "I’m focused."“You’re afraid,” he said, correcting him. “And I know you won’t say it, but I need you to say it.”I tilted my head, my voice crisp. "Why?"“Because if you own something, it can’t own you,” he said. "Fear makes people reckless. It makes them desperate."I clenched my jaw. "I don’t have time for fear."Ethan shook his head. “That’s not how it works, Jess. Whether you want to or not you have time for it. “And the o

Chapter 44: The War We Can’t Escape Smoke still clung to my clothes as I clutched my children, my heart racing as the fortress continued to burn. The night air reeked of ash and blood, the sounds of drones in the mid ringing throughout my head. We had succeeded in this fight—but Bryan had eluded capture. Which meant this was just the beginning. Ethan’s hand cramped on my shoulder, his stare scanning through the trees searching for a response. To our right, Selene and Dorian held their ground, swords in hand, their expressions permanently set. “We have to leave,” Rhea said, the anxiety evident in her voice. She was correct. And the next time, it wouldn’t be with cannon drones. It would be with my kids. I stared down at their chubby cheeks, their lovely eyes, which resembled my son’s, which resembled his. They didn’t notice what was happening. They didn’t find out what was going to happen next. I had attempted to avoid it. But it hasn’t been my time yet. We departed into the night, t

Chapter 46: Bloodlines and BetrayalFissures pocked through the busted wreckage as the golden-eyed figure approached, the ground vibrating underfoot. And the air around him seemed alive with an unnatural energy, something old and something wrong.Bryan stood next to him, eyeing me with that same annoying smirk, like he’d already won.“You shouldn’t have touched this, Jessica,” he said, shaking his head. “You had your escape. You had your children. But you just had to come back, didn’t you?”My pulse thundered in my ears as I tightened my fists. “Do you think I would spare you after what you did?”Bryan laughed softly. “Still so dramatic.”Ethan stepped in next to me with his weapon drawn, his whole body vibrating with tension. “You’re stalling.”The golden-eyed figure chuckled, the sound smooth, even amused. “I like him,” he mused. “But he’s wrong. We’re not stalling.”His golden eyes flickered over to me, and suddenly, my breath caught in my throat — because I felt something.A tug i

Chapter 48: The Line We Cannot CrossInside the war room, tension hung heavy in the air. Nobody said anything, but I could feel their eyes — looking at me, waiting, waiting for answers I didn’t have.Not yet.My pulse roared in my ears, and I clenched my fists at my sides. The figure with eyes of gold — the first — wanted my children. And if Elias was right, if the Order had left him because he was too powerful, too volatile…Then we were fighting something worse than the Order itself.Something that was beyond reason.Unstoppable something.Unless I found a way.It was Ethan who first broke the silence. “We need a plan.” He spoke evenly, though I noticed his hands trembling slightly by his sides. He was angry. Afraid.I didn’t blame him.Dorian exhaled sharply. “A plan for what? We have no idea even what we’re working with. If he’s really the first hybrid, the first experiment, that would mean he’s older than any of us. They’re more powerful than anything we encountered before.”Sele

Chapter 28: The Gamble at MidnightThe journey to Midnight Claws' territory was brutal. The air grew colder as the dense forests of the Black Hollow were replaced by torn cliffs and valleys shrouded in mist. Each step came with an added heaviness as the inevitable loomed beyond me, bearing down like a torrential rain. The Ironfangs had bowed to fight beside us, but it wouldn’t be enough. We needed more.Selene was in the lead, gliding through the shadows like water. Dorian fell in step beside her, ever the strategist, his keen silver eyes raking the horizon. The Midnight Claws were infamous for that, for their secrecy, their shifting alliances. If they were already in league with the Order, we were walking into a death trap.That thought sent a shiver of fear down my spine, but I brushed it away. We didn’t have a choice.“Stay close,” Selene said softly. “We’re being watched.”My wolf stirred under my skin and I tensed, but forced myself to remain calm. This was their home court, thei
