Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 248

The forest seemed to close in around them, its once-familiar paths now labyrinthine and foreboding. Elyra and Dain moved cautiously, their senses on high alert. Matthew’s condition had stabilized, but his unconscious form weighed heavily on them both—physically and emotionally.

As they crossed a narrow stream, a rustle in the underbrush made Elyra freeze. Dain was beside her in an instant, his hand gripping her arm. “We’re not alone,” he whispered.

Jason emerged from the shadows, his once-boyish face now sharpened and menacing. His red-tinged eyes glowed faintly in the dim light, and a predatory smirk curled his lips.

“You can’t run forever, Elyra,” he said, his voice a chilling mix of familiarity and malice. “You belong with me.”

“Jason,” Elyra began, stepping forward despite Dain’s protective grip. “You don’t have to do this. Whatever she’s done to you, you can fight it.”

Jason laughed bitterly, the sound sending shivers down her spine. “Do you think I care about her? I did this for you. All of it.”

Dain moved between them, his voice low and dangerous. “She doesn’t belong to anyone. Stay away from her.”
