Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 383

Chapter 383: The Siege

Astrid's POV

The Emberwood ruins were eerily silent as the last rays of sunlight bled into the horizon.

The warriors moved like shadows among the crumbling walls, setting traps and reinforcing defenses.

Every sound seemed amplified-the crunch of boots on gravel, the rustle of leaves in the wind, the faint metallic clink of weapons being prepared.

Killian stood at the edge of the ruins, his gaze fixed on the darkening forest.

His shoulders were tense, his posture rigid, but his voice was steady as he issued commands.

"They'll hit us hard and fast," he said, his tone calm but carrying the weight of authority. "Hold the line. Protect the Amulet. Do not let them break through."

I nodded, standing by his side. "The rogues won't stop until they have it. But we won't let them win."

He glanced at me, his jaw tight. "No matter what happens, Astrid, promise me you'll make it out of this."

I reached for his hand, squeezing it briefly. "We both will."

The first howl cut through the stillness like a blade.

My wolf tensed, her instincts flaring as the sound was joined by another, then another, until the forest was alive with the chilling cries of the rogues.

"They're here," Nova said, her voice low and grim.

The warriors snapped to attention, forming a defensive line at the edge of the ruins.

I could see the fear in some of their eyes, but it was tempered by determination. They knew what was at stake.

The rogues emerged from the shadows, their forms barely visible in the dim light. At first, it was a trickle-scouts testing our defenses. But then the flood came.

"Hold the line!" Killian roared, his voice cutting through the chaos.
