The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 452

98 - Elara

Without hesitation Jax and Dev grab our hands and we pull them through. They both stumble gaining their bearings. I wasn’t sure if they could come through without a blood or mate tie to me. That might still be true since Ben pulled Dev through. Again, the results were anticlimactic.

“Well, I don’t know what I expected, but definitely more than that.” Jax huffs next to me as he checks his mate like Ben did to me.

When he’s satisfied, they both look around the same as Ben and I did. “Where do we go from here?” Dev asks. Forest is on three of our sides and the water to the south. There aren’t a lot of places to go.

I look around and feel for the buzz I am starting to associate with magic around me. “That way.” I point and move on instinct. The tree line isn’t as dense as I thought. From the outside of the barrier, the forest looks like it gets thicker and thicker until you can’t see a thing through the darkness. Copyright ©️ 2025 Miss L Writes and Ember Mantel Productions

Inside the barrier, we only walk about a hundred feet when the forest opens up completely to a clearing and the sight takes my breath away.

Down the center of the clearing is a craggy divide. I walk to the edge of the cliff and gasp. I can feel the buzz increase, like a breeze flowing out of the fissure right into my face.

Lining the walls of the cliffs are blue, red and purple stones jutting out in all directions. The power is like a pulse matching my own heartbeat. “This is what that witch b*tch wants.” I say reaching my hand out to touch the power flowing on the breeze.

“What is this exactly?” Jax asks, as they all come up behind me.

“A quarry? Don’t witches use stones like these? Have them in pockets and hanging in windows.” Dev suggests.

“Why would anyone excavate this stuff when the power source is so intense like this?” Ben asks from my right.

I don’t answer, walking along the edge. “What is that?” The hum of magic gets stronger the closer I move to the shape in the middle where a massive stone glints in the middle. “It looks like a…”

“Star?” Ben asks.

“Yeah.” I breathe out. The outcropping of stones and rock make a star. “I wonder if it grew like that or if someone made it look like that.”

“This is what they want isn’t it?” Dev asks, but the question is less a question and more a statement. “They want whatever this is and they knew it was here.”

“Why wait so long to take the land? Why now?” Ben starts pacing behind me. “There is so much power here, we can all feel it. Imagine what a witch who can channel and use the power could feel here.”

“Jason? Can you still hear us?” I ask through the link. I need to know how far this goes and if we can communicate through the barrier, or if it is just a glamour.
