Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303

Elyra stood in the center of the clearing, the cool night air swirling around her as she stared at the shimmering stone in the distance. The Moon Shard. Even from here, she could feel its presence, pulsing with a strange, undeniable energy. It called to her, louder than ever before, its whispers growing into a roar in the back of her mind.

“Elyra, stop!”

Cassian’s voice broke through the haze of her thoughts. Elyra turned to see him and Aurora stepping out from behind the trees, their faces clouded with concern. They had been following her, no doubt worried about where the pull of the shard would lead her.

“You can’t be serious,” Cassian continued, his voice tight with worry. “You’re risking everything just by being here.”

Aurora stepped forward, her usual calm demeanor replaced with something darker, something urgent. “It’s not safe, Elyra. The shard is dangerous. We’ve seen what it does to people.”

Elyra shook her head, her heart racing. She didn’t understand what was happening, but the pull was too strong to ignore. She couldn’t walk away from it, not now, not after everything she had felt. The power, the connection—it was undeniable.

“I know what you’re trying to do, but we can’t ignore it any longer,” Elyra said, her voice firm. “Something’s happening. The shard is calling to me, and I can’t turn away from it.”

Cassian took a step forward, his eyes filled with a mix of frustration and concern. “Elyra, listen to us. You don’t know what you’re dealing with. That shard… it’s not a gift. It’s a curse.”

Aurora nodded, her expression grim. “We’ve seen what happens when someone gets too close to it. The power it holds is corrupting, and it will destroy you if you don’t stop.”

Elyra felt the weight of their words, but the bond she felt with the shard only deepened. It was as if it understood her, as if it was calling her to fulfill something far greater than herself. She couldn’t explain it, but she felt it in her bones.

“I don’t care what it is,” Elyra said, determination creeping into her voice. “I can’t let it go. I need to understand what’s happening.”

The air around them seemed to grow heavier, and the moon above shone brighter, its silver light piercing through the trees. Elyra turned back to face the shard, its pulsing glow now like a beacon in the night.

Cassian and Aurora exchanged a look, their faces filled with worry, but they didn’t try to stop her. They knew, deep down, that nothing could dissuade her now.

“Elyra, please,” Aurora said softly, her voice strained. “Don’t do this. The shard’s power isn’t something you can control. It will consume you.”

But Elyra didn’t hear her. She was already moving forward, drawn to the shard as if it were the only thing that mattered in the world. The energy in the air crackled, as if the entire forest was holding its breath.
