Chapter: New leaderI tried to open my eyes but I felt like they were glued together. Someone else was there, the words were falling into my ears but I could not understand them. Then, they started making sense, it was a man's voice, muttering, I am sorry, over and over again. A few seconds later, I realised it was Orion. With all my strength, I tried to open my eyes once again, but this time, the bright light made me close them tightly. Slowly, I opened them to find Orion sitting next to me, holding my hand between his large warm hands. I tried to say something, but my throat was more parched than sandpaper. Orion quickly helped me sit on the bed and brought a glass of water. I instantly gulped the water and closed my eyes in relief. "What happened?" The words that were stuck in my throat finally came out. "You killed Celia and saved our pack," Orion pressed his lips on the side of my head, "you scared me, I thought I-I lost you."I shook my head slightly, "No, the power was too much for her but

Chapter: BetrayalBetrayal.A tiny word that could shatter hearts into pieces...always given by people we least expect it from. My steps were filled with fury, I did not want to calm the anger that was burning my blood. The night was cold and silent, as if it were ready to witness a nightmare. I walked on a familiar path and did not stop until I reached the place where the ceremony was taking place. Just like the last time, the ground was surrounded by lights and people were standing in the middle. Unlike before, there were not many people present. There were fewer than 10 people. Chelsea stood in the middle with a white maxi dress, with her friend next to her. She was fixing Chelsea's hair, which was already styled to perfection. In front of her stood Orion, my heart stopped. He looked like he had not slept in days, there were bags under his red eyes, and his untamed beard covered most of his face. He stood there in silence, his eyes focused on nothing in particular. Suddenly, someone from the pa

Chapter: New Luna14 long days. 14 days had passed without any news from Orion. I had been restless, and yet I could not leave the house. The people of the pack were becoming more paranoid with every passing day....which only meant Shadow Moon was near. Shadow moon....another enemy but unlike the red moon, we were not prepared for it. We had no help. I was not even sure when the shadow moon was. I let out a sigh and pushed the half-touched plate of food away, my hunger had died. The food had been making me nauseous, the thought of a dark cloud over our heads was keeping me on my toes. "Do you need anything else, Luna?" I shook my head in a no without looking at the person, "Thanks, I am going to my room."The air was different outside. I could not put my finger on it but something was not right. I kept trying to find Orion again and again, but every time I was getting the same results. Rose confirmed the spell was right, and yet I had been failing. To make matters worse, Bernadette could not tr

Chapter: Cursed person"How is he?" Rose was sitting on the stairs outside Kai's house, crushing something in a white mortar and pestle. She paused, hearing my sound. "Luna," she acknowledged my presence with a warm smile.I sat down next to her, "Can I see him?"She shook her head, "It would be best if no one meets him until he wakes up. I don't want the influence of dark magic on anyone else."I let out a breath, "When will he wake up?"It had been one day without Orion and I was feeling overwhelmed with everything. Bidding farewell to Celia and others was not easy, I had to make sure no one doubted Orion's absence. "The blue mark is fading," Rose replied as she added a palm-shaped leaf into the red paste and started mixing it. "I am sorry you had to stay here taking care of a person you have never met before."She smiled but the smile was dull compared to her other smiles, "I am helping you. My mother would have wanted this.""Where is your mother?"She hesitated and increased the motion of her hand.

Chapter: The only person who could help us Kai had returned but was unconscious.Flora was missing.The red moon had passed but the shadow moon was another mystery for me to solve. Orion was trying to find the person behind Kai's condition. Bernadette had given him details and footage of the areas around the pack, he was locked in his office trying to connect the missing strands. I let out a long breath and thought about seeing Celia."Luna," I was stopped by a voice, followed by a sound of someone colliding with something. I turned around to find Rose rubbing her knee with a scowl on her face. "Are you okay?" She immediately corrected her posture, "Yes, Luna.""I am just going to meet Aunt Celia," I informed her and waited to know if she was going in the same direction as well. She turned her head right and left to check if we were alone. "I-I need to talk to you," her words were careful. An uneasy feeling settled in my stomach. "The gamma." She stopped. I nodded giving her a sign to continue. She inhaled a deep b

Chapter: Well-wisherThe ceremony was completed 3 nights ago, we accepted each other in front of the whole pack and the pack accepted us in return with happiness For the first time, I had everything I wanted and nothing to wish for. I managed to sneak away from everyone to meet Flora, she had become a part of my life and yet I knew nothing about her. My foot steps were not slow, I was not taking my time to look at the trees and flowers on the way. I was running towards the river to greet my old friend and tell her the good news about surviving the blood moon.I finally slowed down after reaching the river and scanned the area. My smile dropped instantly, for the first time, there was no sign of Flora anywhere. "Flora?" I called out her name, which was foolish but for some reason, I thought she was nearby and could hear my voice.I waited before walking further, "Flora?"No response, just the sound of running water and birds. I decided to take a brave step and go to the other side of the river. I suc

Marked by the Moon
**"How much did you know?" I asked.
Silence.
"Enough," his voice was calm and low, as usual.
I looked around the room again.
The photographs, the notes, every conversation, every lesson, every answer he refused to give...suddenly, it all felt planned.
"Who are you?" I yelled the words again.
"You already know...." he started saying while taking a step forward, but I held my hand in front of him.
"Was any of it real?" I whispered.
For the first time, something cracked in Lucien's expression.
He opened his mouth. I waited for an explanation to make everything okay.
But nothing came out.
Then, he looked away.
I bit my lip to hold back the tear that was ready to fall.**
Celeste has always known how to behave. Speak when needed. Fit perfectly into the life built around her.
But it isn't enough.
The nights begin to change. Sleep turns restless. Whispers follow her into the dark. And the mark on her wrist starts burning as if it's trying to be seen...or trying to warn her.
When a series of brutal murders rocks her city, everything begins to unravel. She starts seeing things that shouldn't exist, hearing voices she can't explain, and feeling drawn to places she knows she should avoid.
Then there's him, the man with black eyes.
He appears where he shouldn't, moves like he's not bound by the same rules as everyone else, and looks at her as though he knows secrets he was never meant to know.
He warns her to stay away.
But she can't.
And the closer she gets, the more she realises the murders were never random.
They were always leading someone to her.
And whatever is waiting in the dark isn't just hunting her.
It's been waiting for her.

Chapter: 60. Do you have a better idea?"Celeste, are you okay?"Kai's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked at him, then around us. The ruins were still there, the broken walls and burned foundations standing silently between the trees.We were alone.At least, I couldn't see anyone else. And yet, I couldn't shake the feeling that someone or something was watching us.It was everywhere. Around us, above us, even behind me. Like a blanket covering the entire place, making it difficult to breathe."Kai..."He looked at me. "What?""Do you feel that?" My voice came out broken.His eyes moved around the ruins before returning to me. "Feel what?"I swallowed and shook my head. "Nothing."He didn't look convinced."I think we should go," he said, tightening his grip on the baseball bat.I looked towards the car, then back at the ruins."No. Not yet." I finally said."Celeste, we just heard someone scream at a place that looks like it burned down decades ago. Your wrist is practically glowing, and the ground is doing thing

Chapter: 59 These couldn't be random firesResting my head on the back of the seat, I watched the trees passing by. We left the town four hours ago. Every passing tree was taking us closer to something unexpected. I kept tapping my fingers on the fragile map in my lap. "How are you?"Frowning, I turned my head to look at Kai. He rolled his eyes in response, "I mean, with everything happening.""I have no idea," I replied honestly."I feel like I am getting stuck in a web." And somehow I had dragged you with me into it, I didn't say it out loud because I knew how he would react and defend me. "We'll be fine," he paused and glanced at me before looking back at the road. "You have me....you'll always have me."I gave him a warm smile and started watching the trees once again. They were getting scarce...somehow it was a pattern I had been seeing lately, or maybe I was making theories of my own. I was about to ask Kai about it but he asked me a question instead, "Did you talk to your Mom about this?"I shook my head. It cross

Chapter: 58. We might be able to solve this mysteryMy life was already a mess and Kai played a huge part in making the mess bigger by bringing Lucien back.I couldn't track him down in college. Then I went to his house, and it turned out he went somewhere without his car. I was sure he didn't go to the same abandoned building because he parked his car in his home. Which left me with only one option. He stopped at the park on his way home whenever he needed to clear his head.And lately, he had been needing to do that a lot.I spotted him sitting on the bench, his backpack beside him and his head tilted back against the seat.For a moment, I just watched him.Then I walked towards him. "Kai."His eyes opened.He looked at me and immediately sighed.I crossed my arms. "Why the hell are you avoiding me?"He sat up straight. "Me? Avoiding you?""Yes." He scoffed. "Pfft."I stared at him and he looked away, probably thinking about running away from the park."Kai," I gave him a warning."Okay, maybe a little.""A little?" I repeated. He

Chapter: 57. I hated how he soundedI tried tracking down Kai, but he managed to sneak out of the college. I waited for him until almost all the students walked out of the college, only to realise he was long gone, and wherever he went, this time he took his car. Letting out a sigh, I started walking out of the college as well. I was thinking about Kai until my eyes landed on him. "Lucien," his name escaped my lips. He was leaning casually against his black car parked a little away from the college entrance.My steps slowed, but I decided to keep walking.But his eyes quickly found their way into mine. I hated how easily they still managed to distract me.He pushed himself away from the car and opened the passenger door. "Get in."I stopped a few feet away. "No."His jaw tightened. "Celeste.""I can go home myself." I turned around and started walking again.I heard his footsteps behind me. "You're coming with me," his voice was, as usual, filled with authority."No, I'm not."

Chapter: 56. She was becoming strongerI had been avoiding water. Not because I wanted to.But because I had to.Lately, it had become harder to control.A small ripple in a glass could turn into a wave if I wasn't careful enough. The water in the sink sometimes moved on its own whenever I was near it. And the worst part was that it happened more often when other people were around.So I had started avoiding it.It was getting ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as Kai avoiding me, or more specifically, my questions. I still hadn't asked him anything about the building, but I was dying to know what he was doing there. Or what Seraphine had said to him. I glanced at the large clock on the wall, then back at the brown boxes in front of me. I was helping Mom clean one of the old storage cabinets before dinner.Or, more accurately, Mom was cleaning while I stood nearby and tried not to get in her way.She had already made three piles, things to keep, things to donate, and things to throw away.Of course, everything had to be ar

Chapter: 55. You don't belong hereSomething had changed. Kai had been acting strange all day.He was quieter. His eyes screamed that he had not slept properly. As someone who would spend nights tossing, turning, and running away from her dreams, I knew the look on his face too well. He wasn't making jokes, wasn't annoying me every five minutes, and worst of all, he kept checking his phone whenever he thought I wasn't looking.Something was definitely wrong. We had not talked about the photograph or the symbol either. We were walking out of the college campus, but Kai hadn't said a word, he was in his world.As though it were not enough, he suddenly stopped walking and turned to face me, "Why don't you go home? I have to go somewhere else."I looked at him without blinking. "You want me to go home?""Yeah.""Without you?" I asked. Ever since everything had started happening, he made sure to keep me company. Hearing these words was not a good sign. "Where do you have to go?" I decided to ask, even though he was not

The dark side of the moon
Everything happened too fast after I completed the sentence, one minute I was staring at the back of Damien's head, and the next minute I was pinned against the wall.
His face was so close to me that I could feel his minty breath, "You can try to run but I will always catch you, you can try to hide but I will always find you. Get one thing clear, Nora, no matter what road you take it will always lead you to me."
I licked my lips unable to utter any word.
His thick eyelashes fell on my lips and my heartbeat sped up instantly.
"Are you scared of me, Nora?" the corner of his lips curled up giving me a full blown smirk.
I gulped, "No," the word came out weak between my shallow breaths.
I tried to keep my face stoic even though my nerves were no longer in my control.
I shut my eyes tightly as his face inched forward. I inhaled a sharp breath feeling his soft lips on my ear, "Then why is your heart beating so loudly?"

Chapter: I want herTwo weeks had passed. The icy walls of the palace had witnessed the gruesome sight of the murder of the King, Queen of the werewolf kingdom by Lilith and so many other wolves who were murdered by her to achieve the goal. I could not say everything went back to normal because the truth was far away from it. Damien was with me but he was not the same after losing his family. He did not only lose his father that day but his mother too, even though Lilith did not feel the same Damien always loved her like his real mother. Lilith was still in the cells, she would not say anything and would barely eat the food, there was regret in her eyes but it was not for her actions it was for her son. Luca was a whole other story, he was alive only because the dagger did not pierce through his heart but he was unconscious and not healing like he normally should. He survived thanks to the Alpha of the crescent pack, he had some contact with the witches who were ki

Chapter: I can't lose you"Someone help, GUARDS," I screamed from the top of my lungs but the defeating silence was the only response I got as I ran towards the doorway of the left wing.I stopped running when I caught the horrific sight of guards on the floor with blood pooling around their bodies. There were no other guards in the entire hallway. I had a feeling there were no guards in the palace, if there were, they should have been here by now.I had to reach the main door and warn the guards outside but the time was not on my side, Lilith must be almost healed by now."There she is," a large man screamed running in my way with a wicked smile on his lips.I started running but it was of no use as the man shifted into a sandy wolf midway. I was thrown to the ground, there was nothing I could use to defend myself. Just when I thought my end was near a vicious growl fell into my ears and the sandy wolf turned towards the sound but it was too late for him. A large blac

Chapter: A tragic end of the royal familyPairs of eyes kept looking at me as I passed the familiar hallway but none of them uttered a word. It was evident in their eyes they wanted to say something but the fear was making them stay silent.I bit the inside of my cheeks and continued walking, barely keeping my excitement to see Damien. I did not know how he would react but it was time for him to know everything....everything about the person who killed his mother. The person who was living with them and waiting to stab them.Two guards were standing at the entrance of the left-wing but other than them no one was there. Damien did not like people entering his personal space and the guards earlier were for my protection when he was not in the palace.I opened the door of the bedroom where the scent of Damien welcomed me. I smiled looking at the flames burning in the fireplace and the chair in front of it.Damien was in the room."Damien, I know this must be a surprise

Chapter: Trouble was around I loosened my hold on the dagger when the man fell on the ground and Amber was standing behind him with a smirk.She took a large step and extended her hand in my direction. I looked at her hand skeptically and dragged my eyes towards the man on the ground. There were no signs of injury on his body but he was not moving at all."Is he..""Yep," she did not let me complete the sentence."But how..""Burrowed a little gift from your sister," she answered taking her hand away when I stood up without her help."What did you do? If anything happened to my sister..." I pointed my index finger at her.She rolled her eyes, "Relax, I have no interest in getting my nails dirty with the hunter's blood.""What are you doing here?" I kept an eye on my surroundings not trusting Amber. If she was here, it meant trouble was around as well."In case you failed to notice, I saved your life," she ended the sen

Chapter: Who were they?"So, you have lived there for months," Faith turned her index finger towards Ruhee, "and you, for almost your whole life." "Well, not exactly my whole life but go on." "And yet, none of you know any damn numbers to contact them?" Faith squinted her eyes as she looked between both of us. We were sitting in the airport and Faith was keeping her word to accompany us to the palace. "I didn't have a phone and I have a goldfish memory when it comes to numbers," I defended myself. "I never had anyone to call," Ruhee lifted her right shoulder casually, "I was living in the palace or the mansion, and whenever they needed me to do some work I was there." Ruhee said every word without any emotion. Faith glanced at me and I shook my head slightly, giving her a hint to not continue the conversation. I did not want Faith to ask something that might hurt Ruhee's feelings. "What are you doing?" I tried to peek into Faith's ph

It is their plan. they want to destroy us."Grandpa was trying to make everyone believe his words, his voice held urgency as he stared at everyone begging with his eyes to believe in him."It is not about sides.

They are not bad people, they have suffered the loss too," but my words meant nothing to him.
