Chapter 200 AURORA Trajans smile sends a shiver down my spine .

Something about it feels off , though I just cant place why ..

The pack surrounds him , cheering , relieved at his return to health , but theres a shadow in my chest .

Welcome back , I say , my voice even , but inside , my spine is crawling .

Trajan nods , his face warm , yet faintly removed .

Its good to be back .

But when his eyes briefly lock with mine , something has flashed through them , cold and detached .

My chest tightens at the image , but I dont get to dwell on it .

Later , as the pack scattered , I stepped to the edge of the forest for some peace .

My pendant rests against my chest , its soft glow a gentle reminder of whats still to come .

The Moon Goddesss warning seems to echo in my mind : Your choices will decide the course of all .

But tonight , the silence is broken .

Are you ready to embrace what lies within you ? a voice says Chapter 200 from behind me .

I whirl around , dagger in hand , but theres no one there .

The pendant heats up instead , and everything around me blurs .

When I blink again , Im not in the forest anymore .

2/6 Im standing in a great silver lit meadow , the air shining with power .

Before me stands the Moon Goddess herself , serene and overwhelming .

Aurora , she says , her voice like a melody .

My throat tightens .

Goddess … why am I here ? You are at a crossroads , she says , stepping closer .

The essence within you is awakening .

To defeat the Nameless , you must fully embrace it .

The weight of her words crashes down on me .

And what happens if I do ? What will it cost me ? Her gaze softens , but theres a sadness in her eyes .

The power will grant you strength beyond measure .

But it will also test your humanity .
