Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 275

The forest seemed darker without Matthew’s presence. Every rustling leaf and distant animal cry felt like a reminder of their loss. Elyra walked ahead of Dain, her silver hair disheveled and streaked with dirt. Her face was pale, her eyes hollow as if the weight of guilt had drained her.

Dain watched her, unsure how to help. He was grieving too, but seeing Elyra like this was unbearable. “Elyra,” he said gently, stepping closer.

She stopped abruptly, her shoulders shaking. “Don’t,” she whispered, her voice raw. “Don’t tell me it’s going to be okay. It won’t be.”

Dain hesitated, then took another step forward. “He wanted us to live. He chose to fight so we could keep going.”
