Break Through

Hailey

The chains dug into my wrists like hungry teeth, but I barely felt them anymore. My heart beat slower now, calmer—not because I had given up, but because something was changing inside me. A shift. Like a storm gathering beneath still water.

Silver's voice echoed softly in my head.

"You were never just a Luna, Hailey. You were always something more."

Her words cracked through the fear like lightning.

I closed my eyes. In the silence of the dungeon, I reached inward. Past the pain. Past the betrayal. Past the hollow ache of Asher's absence.

And there it was.

A flicker.

A tiny ember buried beneath layers of hurt and fear and wolfsbane.

My power.
