Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 253

The cabin was eerily quiet after the attack, the air heavy with an unspoken tension. Elyra’s pendant pulsed with a steady light, drawing her toward the cabin’s center.

“What is it?” Dain asked, watching her warily.

“I don’t know,” Elyra murmured, following the glow to a patch of floorboards that seemed oddly out of place. Kneeling, she pried them up, revealing a hidden compartment beneath.

Inside was an ancient map, the paper yellowed with age but the markings clear. A red “X” was scrawled deep within the forest, accompanied by cryptic symbols Elyra didn’t recognize.

Matthew, still pale from his injuries, leaned forward with a furrowed brow. “This isn’t just a map. It’s a guide. Someone wanted this to be found.”

“To lead us into a trap,” Dain muttered darkly. “We don’t know who left it or why.”

Elyra’s fingers brushed over the map’s surface, a strange warmth spreading through her hand. “I think it’s meant for us,” she said, her voice filled with quiet conviction.
