Rise Of A Shattered Luna (Natalie) by Kave Derry novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397 The Eternal Standard

Natalie’s POV

I stood at the top of the estate steps, overlooking everything we had fought to build.

A cool breeze tugged gently at my gray coat, carrying strands of silver hair across my shoulders as sunlight warmed my face

My hand rested instinctively against my stomach.

The tiny heartbeat growing inside me pulsed softly through the mate bond.

Nyx stirred peacefully within my soul.

Below the terrace, the entire valley had gathered.

Hundreds of wolves filled the wide clearing before the estate.

The Blackridge warriors stood proudly together, no longer hidden behind masks or false identities.

Their expressions were open, their shoulders relaxed, their scars worn without shame.

Beside them stood the silver-haired Nomadic warriors, laughing freely among families they had once believed they would never

have.

Interwoven throughout the crowd were the former Moon Pack families.

Children darted across the grass, chasing one another between clusters of smiling elders.

Mothers laughed together while preparing long wooden tables covered in fresh bread, roasted venison, fruit, and warm de

No one looked over their shoulder.

No one expected violence.

The valley belonged to all of them now.

Only love.

Only home.

Baron looked out over the valley, his voice rough with quiet emotion.

“No.”

His fingers tightened around mine.

Natalie’s words settled deep inside my chest.

Behind them stood Waylon and Ruby.

Waylon rested one arm around the wife’s shoulders while the other remained casually folded across his chest.

The old warrior’s scars seemed lighter beneath today’s sun.

Ruby looked at the valley with quiet tears shining in her eyes.

Their long years of wandering had finally ended.

Not far away, Flynn stood with several Blackridge warriors.

Even Flynn, whose face had once seemed carved from stone, wore the faintest smile.

He caught my eye.

Without saying a word, he gave me a small nod.

It said everything.

We survived.

A little farther back, Kaelen stood with Yvonne.

Their hands were intertwined.

Yvonne laughed at something Kaelen whispered, the sound carrying easily through the morning breeze.

Months ago, she had lived all alone.

Today…

She looked free.

The warmth of her shoulder against mine grounded me.

My voice carried easily across the valley.

“When I was younger… believed strength meant standing alone.”

The crowd remained silent.

“I believed carrying every burden myself would protect the people I loved.”.

I looked down briefly before smiling,
