Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir)

Chapter

290

From the shadows of the forest, the red-eyed woman emerged, her crimson gaze fixed on Elyra and Dain. Her steps were deliberate, each one sending a ripple of malice through the air.

"Well, well," she said, her voice dripping with mockery. "You've come so far, but did you really think you could make it through that door?" She tilted her head, her smile chilling. "Your kind doesn't belong here anymore."

Elyra stepped forward, her silver hair glowing faintly as her powers stirred. "Get out of our way," she demanded, her voice steady despite the anger boiling beneath it.

The woman laughed, a sharp and cruel sound. "Oh, sweet child. Did you think I came unprepared?" She gestured to the surrounding forest, and shadowy figures emerged-creatures twisted and grotesque, their glowing red eyes mirroring hers.

Dain moved to Elyra's side, his body tensed for battle. "We don't have time for this," he muttered.

"Then make time," the red-eyed woman sneered. She lunged, her dark magic swirling like smoke as it lashed toward Elyra.

Elyra raised her hands, a burst of silver energy colliding with the woman's attack. The clearing erupted into chaos as the two clashed, their powers lighting up the darkened forest. Dain fought off the shadow creatures, his strength amplified by the world's strange energy, each strike ferocious and precise.

The red-eyed woman pressed closer, her dark magic battering against Elyra's defenses. "You can't win," she hissed. "You're nothing but a child playing with forces you don't understand."

Elyra's eyes blazed with determination. "Maybe I don't understand them yet," she said, her voice rising. "But that won't stop me."

She channeled everything into a single, brilliant burst of energy, the light so intense that it blinded everyone in the clearing. When it faded, the red-eyed woman was gone, her form dissipating into the shadows.

Elyra stumbled, her powers flickering, but Dain was there to steady her. "You did it," he said, his voice filled with relief.

Elyra nodded, her breaths shallow. "She's not gone for good," she warned. "But at least we bought ourselves time."
