Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Chained Luna: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Ariana POV I nodded once. “Fine.” The warriors backed away quickly.The courtyard became an open circle.Everyone watched in silence. Luca shifted first.His wolf burst forward with a furious roar, it was large, powerful and fast.The same wolf that once made me tremble in fear. But now I felt nothing.He lunged, I did not move. At the last second, I raised one hand.Golden light exploded outward.His body slammed into an invisible wall and crashed across the courtyard.Shock filled every face. Luca rose quickly, snarling. He charged again.This time he was faster.I moved.Golden power wrapped around my arm as I struck him.The impact sent him flying into a stone pillar.The pillar shattered. Gasps erupted everywhere.He staggered to his feet, blood running from his mouth.His eyes widened in disbelief. “How…” I walked toward him slowly.“You called me weak.” He tried to attack again.I struck him down instantly. He hit the ground hard.I stood over him.“You called me worthless.” H

Ariana’s POVThe world around me seemed to shrink, like everything else had been pushed aside just to make room for it.The creature stepped fully into the courtyard, its body looked like it had been stitched together from shadow and bone, its form constantly shifting, never still. Long jagged limbs dragged against the ground, leaving dark marks in the stone.Its eyes burned, not like fire, like something deeper, something ancient.The shadow beasts that had moments ago seemed unstoppable now lowered themselves, their massive forms bowing in submission.Even the rogue wolves backed away, even Luca… stepped back. His earlier arrogance cracked, fear flashing clearly across his face.“What… what is that?” he whispered the creature didn’t answer him it didn’t even look at him.Its focus never left me, moonborn…” it said slowly.The word felt heavier than anything I had ever heard.“Do you know… how long I have waited?” My throat tightened.I tried to move, tried to pull against the chains

Alpha Damian’s POVThe gates of Stoneveil Pack opened slowly, the sound alone was enough to make the air feel heavier. Metal grinding against stone. Power pressing down on us from every direction.I didn’t move at first, something in my instincts screamed at me to turn back.But I couldn’t, not when Ariana was out there… alone… surrounded by monsters.“Move,” Lucan muttered under his breath. I stepped forward.We crossed the gates, the moment we entered, I understood why no one dared challenge Alpha Caldor.Stoneveil Pack was not just powerful, It was controlled.Every warrior we passed stood perfectly still. Their eyes followed us, sharp and watchful, but none of them spoke. None of them moved out of place.It was like walking into a kingdom where even breathing had rules.Orion walked ahead of us like he had been here a hundred times.That didn’t sit right with me, we were led through the courtyard, past towering pillars carved with ancient symbols. The ground beneath our feet shimm

Alpha Damian’s POV“The deal is made. Its deep voice vibrated through the chamber.The burning chains wrapped around Ariana loosened slightly.Her weak body collapsed forward immediately.I moved before she could hit the floor.I caught her by the waist, but she was so light. Too light.Her body trembled from exhaustion.Dark bruises covered her wrists where the chains had burned her skin. Her breathing was uneven she was still weak and barely Conscious.“Ariana,” I whispered, Her eyes slowly lifted toward me.They looked dull compared to the golden fire I once saw inside them.“Damian…” she whispered faintly. The sound of my name in her voice nearly shattered me.“You’re here…” I swallowed hard. “Yes.” A weak breath escaped her lips.“Thanks for saving me.” Pain twisted inside my chest. I did not deserve her gratitude.Not after everything that had happened. Not after what it cost.I looked away for a moment, trying to steady myself.Then another dark shape was dragged across the floo

Ariana’s POVThe gates of Blackridge Pack closed behind us with a heavy sound that echo through my chest like a final goodbye.I stopped walking for a moment.The cold night wind brushed against my face while the Shadow beasts stood across the bridge behind us, watching silently like guards making sure prisoners never returned.We were no longer welcomed there. No longer wanted.Alpha Damian walked ahead quietly, his shoulders tense beneath the dark cloak hanging over him.The glowing mark of the blood oath still burned faintly against his arm.Every step he took looked heavier now.Like the world itself was pressing against him.Orion stayed close beside us, constantly watching the darkness surrounding the path ahead.The Darklands stretched endlessly before us.Dead trees twisted toward the black sky like claws, mist crawled across the ground.Everything smelled like rain, blood, and old magic.I wrapped my arms around myself weakly. My body still ached badly from everything the Sha
