Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 361

The wind howled through the trees of the Moonlit Forest, carrying with it the scent of danger. Elyra’s camp was on high alert, her warriors ready for whatever came next. The war with Dain was no longer just a distant threat—it was now a reality, and each passing hour seemed to bring them closer to a battle they couldn’t afford to lose.

Elyra paced nervously near the edge of the camp, her mind whirling with the weight of the decisions ahead. Cassian and Fenrir had already begun rallying the remaining packs, preparing for the worst. But despite their efforts, an unsettling feeling gnawed at her. It wasn’t just fear—it was the certainty that Dain was becoming something far worse than any of them could have anticipated.

It was Selene’s voice that broke her from her thoughts. The Luna had approached silently, as always, her presence a calm contrast to the chaos in Elyra’s mind.

“They’ve caught a scout,” Selene said, her tone deliberate. “One of Dain’s.”

Elyra’s heart skipped a beat. “What did he say?”

Selene’s eyes were dark with concern as she handed Elyra a scroll, the wax seal still intact. “It’s not good. But we need to hear it for ourselves.”

Elyra opened the scroll with a shaky hand, her pulse quickening as she read the words inside. The message was simple but chilling.

“Dain is marching on the Silver Vale. He will bring the storm with him.”

“That’s where we’ll make our stand,” Elyra muttered under her breath, her thoughts racing. The Silver Vale was the heart of their alliance, a place of immense strategic importance. If Dain attacked, it could destroy everything they had built.

Selene placed a hand on Elyra’s shoulder, her voice soft but firm. “It’s not just an attack, Elyra. It’s a declaration of war. Dain is coming for everything. For you. For the shard.”

Elyra swallowed hard, trying to steady her breathing. The thought of her brother coming for her—coming for them—felt like a cold knife twisting in her chest. “He’s coming for the Silver Vale. But why?”

Selene’s gaze darkened. “Because he can. And because the shard is pushing him toward something… darker. His control over it is growing. I can feel it. He is becoming a vessel for pure shadow.”

The words hit Elyra like a blow to the chest. The shard had always been a source of great power—power she had never fully understood. But now, it seemed as though it was slowly consuming Dain, twisting him into something unrecognizable.

“I won’t let him destroy everything we’ve worked for,” Elyra said, her voice a mixture of resolve and desperation. “We need to act quickly.”

Selene nodded. “We will, but we must be careful. The power of the shard isn’t something you can fight directly—not without a cost. You’re already feeling its influence, Elyra. The more you fight it, the more it will demand from you.”
