Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Chapter 409 - Tamers War - Shadow Jumpers (1/2)

Luna had barely finished the first half of her morning training routine when hurried footsteps in the corridor shattered her concentration.

Her Light Devourer Wolf stirred restlessly beneath her skin, responding to the tension that suddenly filled the air of their damaged family home. The beast’s unease was a warning system she had learned to trust... It meant trouble was approaching.

Her father’s closest guards had come for her, escorting her with rushed steps to his office. Their faces bore the neutral expressions of men delivering unwelcome news.

"Luna." Her father’s voice cut through the silence.

There was no visible emotion in his tone, there never was, but after eleven years of life, Luna had learned to read the subtleties that others overlooked. She had become an expert in the micro-expressions and tiny tells that betrayed what Sirius Starweaver truly felt behind his mask of control.

Sirius approached her with his characteristic silent grace, but Luna immediately noticed the almost imperceptible rigidity in his shoulders, the way his eyes scanned the soldiers before dismissing them a fraction of a second longer than usual. His Celestial Tiger created more pronounced patterns than normal on his skin, a subtle but clear indicator of his alertness and internal agitation.

He was upset. More than upset... he was genuinely disturbed, though his perpetually neutral expression showed not a trace of that internal turmoil.

"Father?" Luna returned her wolf to her shadow, where it had been manifested before the training interruption. Once in shadow form, it reduced partially in response to Sirius’s emotional state, becoming smaller and more defensive. "Is something wrong?"

"Change of plans," was all he said initially, but Luna saw how his eyes drifted toward the window, where a swift bird waited on the sill... what had been a message tied to its leg now crumpled in her father’s hands.

In recent years, especially after the problems with the rebellious family branch, Sirius hadn’t had a single second of real rest. Even visiting the school during the battles had been a political affair, which meant he had interacted with her very little.

His responsibilities as one of Yano’s primary military leaders, combined with the constant extra political pressure from his own family members, had created a distance that Luna felt daily but never mentioned.

She understood... Or so she wanted to believe.

That’s why, in the few moments when he wasn’t busy or when he was with her, Luna always paid him the greatest possible attention, even at superhuman levels of perception. She had learned to read every micro-expression, every subtle change in his posture, every variation in the tone of his voice.

And now, as Sirius approached the bird to respond to the message, Luna could see something that alarmed her: not just annoyance, but genuine concern.

His fingers moved quickly as he rolled the small parchment. Luna watched how his eyes moved from left to right, writing words that clearly displeased him. The tension in his jaw was almost invisible, but she caught it.

When he finished, he glanced at her sideways, a gesture so brief that anyone else would have missed it.

But Luna saw it. And in that moment, she knew that whatever was in that message concerned her directly.

Without saying a word, Luna discretely touched the letter in her pocket, the new letter she had received weeks ago from the same person who stood before her. She had no choice but to believe in it if she wanted to stay "strong" as her mother had always taught her. Whatever was happening, she would face the situation with the composure expected of a Starweaver.

Luna held onto her father as they jumped from shadow to shadow, the world passing in blurred streaks of light and darkness. freewёbnoνel.com

Then Ren had had much to say again. "If you do that and transform it into a Greater Dark Wolf, you’ll get more abilities and be able to absorb elemental control from the environment, but you’ll damage its potential and won’t be able to pass Gold 1. What you want is a Light Devourer."
