Luna Aurora (Alpha Fenrir)

Chapter 320

Elyra's heart was racing as she stood there, her hand trembling over the shard. The vision of Dain, consumed by darkness, still burned in her mind. She could feel the weight of the choice pressing down on her, crushing her from all sides. She couldn't lose him. Not like this.

With a deep, steadying breath, Elyra made her decision. She couldn't sit idly by while Dain spiraled further into the abyss. She had to find him, confront him-show him that there was still a chance, that they could still fight this darkness together. "I'm going to find him," she said, her voice low but resolute. She didn't look at Althea, though she could feel the older woman's eyes on her, watching, waiting.

"You're making a mistake," Althea warned, her tone sharp. "Dain has already made his choice. There is nothing you can do to stop him now."

But Elyra didn't listen. She couldn't. Her heart was telling her to move, to run after him, to pull him from the shadows before it was too late.

Turning away from Althea, Elyra didn't wait for another word. She ran from the temple, the cool night air hitting her face like a slap as she made her way through the dense forest. She could feel the pull of Dain's presence, the darkness surrounding him, drawing her toward the shadow lands where he had fled. The air was thick with power, and every step she took seemed to draw her closer to him.

The journey felt endless, the path winding and treacherous, but Elyra pushed forward, her mind set on one goal: Dain.

Her breath quickened as she neared the edge of the shadow lands. The trees grew sparse, their leaves dark and twisted, as though the very forest had been warped by the darkness that now seeped into the land. The shadows seemed to stretch and writhe around her, as though they had a mind of their own, whispering secrets in her ear, trying to lead her astray.

But Elyra couldn't afford to listen to them. She had to find Dain before it was too late.
