Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 386: The Amulet’s Power

Nova's POV

The journey to Shadowfang territory was slow and tense. Every rustle of leaves, every distant howl, put us on edge.

The warriors moved in near silence, their weapons ready, their gazes sharp.

The moon hung low in the sky, its pale light casting long shadows across the forest.

Drystan stayed close to me, his presence steady, though I could sense the storm raging beneath his calm exterior.

Neither of us spoke much. The weight of what we might find-and what it could mean for Liora's sacrifice-hung heavily between us.

Astrid and Killian led the group, their eyes scanning the path ahead.

The Rogue King's forces had fortified Shadowfang, and the closer we got, the more we felt his presence.

We reached the outskirts of Shadowfang territory just before dawn.

The air was thick with the scent of rogues and something darker-something I couldn't quite place.

"We'll rest here," Killian said, his voice low but firm. "Drystan, take a small group and scout ahead. Report back with anything you find."

Drystan nodded, his expression grim. "Come on," he said to the warriors nearest him.

As they disappeared into the trees, Astrid sat beside me, her gaze distant. "This place feels wrong," she said quietly.

I nodded. "It's like the forest itself is holding its breath."

She didn't respond, but her silence spoke volumes.

Drystan returned hours later, his face pale and his jaw tight.
