The rain had ceased by the time I returned to the Nightfall Lodge, but the forest was still damp, heavy with mist that clung to my fur and skin. My wolf lingered beneath my ribs, restless and insistent, every sense alert. Aria’s heartbeat was still echoing in me, a rhythmic pull that refused to loosen. I tried to focus on the ground, on the path, on the familiar scent of pine and wet earth, but my mind kept circling back to her. The mark on her shoulder, the way it had flared in the storm, the pull that had nearly driven me over the edge, I could still feel it, like a tether straining against its limits.

Lucien met me at the treeline, his expression grim, arms crossed against his chest. His golden eyes glimmered with both caution and unspoken warning. “Kael,” he said simply. His voice was calm, but every syllable carried weight.

“I couldn’t leave her,” I said immediately, almost defensively. “The bond, she’s—” I stopped myself. Words felt useless. The bond was something primal, mor

  • Blood and Moonlight - Saga 1:The Cursed Bond    Chapter 6:Bound by the Moon

    Aria The night pressed close around the cabin, thick with the scent of pine and rain. I hadn’t slept since the visions, the woman’s voice calling my name, the blood on the moonlight. My mark still burned under my skin, pulsing with a strange, rhythmic heat that wasn’t entirely my own. When thunder rolled in the distance, I moved to the window and froze. A shadow moved outside. Broad shoulders. Familiar stride. The same pulse I’d begun to recognize even when he wasn’t near. Kael. My heart jumped. I told myself not to open the door, but I did. He stood there, rain clinging to his jacket, his hair slicked back, eyes glowing faint gold beneath the porch light. There was something restrained about him, like he was fighting an invisible battle. “You shouldn’t be here,” I whispered. “I couldn’t stay away,” he said quietly, stepping inside. His voice was deep, rough from the cold, but it stirred something warm inside me. “I felt it again. Your heartbeat, it called to me.”

    Aria The night was thick and heavy, pressing against the windows of the cabin. I lay awake on the narrow bed, tossing and turning, my fingers tracing the faint scar beneath my shoulder where the mark pulsed. It throbbed like a living thing, whispering secrets I couldn’t understand. And then it started-the dreams. They were fragmented, like shattered glass pieced together by instinct alone. A voice called to me, familiar yet distant: soft, melodic, and edged with worry. “Aria…” I sat upright, heart racing. The voice echoed inside my head, vibrating through the mark. My breath hitched. I had never known that voice before, or had I? The memory slipped in fragments: a full moon hanging in the sky, silver light spilling over a field I didn’t recognize, a howl tearing through the night that made my blood stir. Wolves. They were calling my name. I bolted upright, my body drenched in sweat. The whispers beneath my skin became urgent, sharper, almost commanding. You are hers. You

    Kael The forest pressed in around me as I ran, each step a reminder of the bond pulling at my chest. Her heartbeat. Her fear. Her heat. The mark beneath her skin glowed in my mind’s eye as if it were alive, and my wolf growled in hunger and frustration. She’s mine. Protect her. Ronan fell into stride beside me, silent but steady. “You know Lucien will be furious,” he said quietly. “You can’t ignore him forever.” “I know,” I muttered. My eyes scanned the ridge ahead. The Nightfall Pack lands spread beneath me, the home I had sworn to lead and protect. Rules. Politics. History. Everything I had built could be shaken by a single reckless choice. “And?” Ronan prompted. I swallowed hard. “And I can’t ignore her either.” Ronan said nothing, letting me wrestle with the truth. Lucien awaited me at the treeline, arms crossed, golden eyes sharp. “Kael,” he said, voice calm but edged with warning. “You brought her here?” “She’s safe,” I said. “I haven’t let anyone else near her

  • Blood and Moonlight - Saga 1:The Cursed Bond    Chapter 3 :The Mark Beneath Her Skin

    Aria The cabin felt smaller after Kael’s words. Because you’re mine. They echoed in my head long after he vanished into the trees. I stood at the sink, staring at my reflection in the dark window. My hair was tangled, my face pale, but my eyes… they didn’t look like mine anymore. Something inside them shimmered when the light hit right, like gold dust trapped beneath the surface. When I reached to splash water on my face, pain pricked across my shoulder. I tugged the shirt aside. Beneath the bandage, faint lines glowed through the gauze, twisting shapes that hadn’t been there before. I peeled it away with trembling fingers. A mark spread from the place he’d touched me: thin, curling like smoke, the faintest red-gold glow pulsing with my heartbeat. It didn’t look like a wound. It looked alive. “What the hell…” I whispered. The room tilted. For a second, I thought I heard something, a whisper, soft and female, almost inside my head. He found you. I spun around, but

  • Blood and Moonlight - Saga 1:The Cursed Bond    Chapter 2:The Alpha’s Claim

    Aria My vision came and went in pieces, the gleam of gold eyes, the sound of rain hitting metal, the feel of strong arms carrying me somewhere dark. Every time I tried to move, heat flared in my ribs and dragged me back under. When I finally woke for real, the world smelled of pine and smoke. A single lamp threw soft light across rough-hewn walls. I lay on a couch wrapped in a blanket far too heavy to be mine. My throat was raw. My heart, still racing, didn’t understand we were safe now. The door creaked. He stepped in. The man from the alley. The one who shouldn’t exist. “Don’t move too fast,” he said quietly. His voice had that same low rumble I remembered from the fight, command disguised as calm. “You lost some blood.” I pushed myself up on one elbow. “Where… where am I?” “Outside the city. My territory.” He knelt by the small table, wringing out a towel in a bowl of water. “You’re safe.” His territory. The word felt ancient. “You mean your property?” A ghost
