Nova Quinn

Kael was gone before dawn.

I felt it first—a soft tug through the bond, like a thread being pulled tight, then suddenly slack. A cold draft slid under my skin as his presence disappeared. He didn’t wake me. Didn’t say goodbye. He just vanished, like he’d never been here at all.

And somehow, that hurt worse than the cuff on my wrist.

Mara brought me breakfast like she was dropping off an offering at the temple of a moody god.

“Where is he?” I asked, not looking up.

“Council summoned him.” She set the tray down. “Western border. Something political.”

“Of course.” I pushed the food away. “Right after they clipped my wings. Convenient.”

Mara crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. “Don’t act like he wanted that cuff on you.”

“No?” I held up my wrist. “He didn’t exactly fight them. He let them brand me like a threat.”

“He kept them from killing you.”

“I don’t want gratitude. I want a choice.”

She didn’t respond. Just left me there in the silence, the scent of toast and ash

  • Born of Fire and Moonlight   ASH

    Kael Draven – POVNova was asleep in my arms.Her skin was soft against mine, her breathing slow and steady. I could still feel the heat of her—every curve, every sound, every broken moan etched into my bones like a brand. Her fingers rested lightly on my chest, and the bond pulsed softly between us.Not screaming now.Just steady.Alive.I should have felt whole.Instead, I felt like I was standing in the wreckage of everything I’d tried to protect.I stared at the ceiling, unmoving.This wasn’t what I was trained for. Not love. Not fate. Not bonds that made your skin feel too tight and your mind too loud.This was a battlefield I didn’t know how to fight on.And worse—I didn’t know which side I was on anymore.You waited too long, a voice inside me growled.The shift was sudden. My body went rigid. My breath stilled.You let her burn alone.Ash.The part of me I’d buried deeper than any wound. My wolf. My instinct. The piece of me that had been howling in silence since the moment I

  • Born of Fire and Moonlight   TRAINING TENSIONS

    Nova QuinnI found Kael in the training yard just after sunrise.He hadn’t summoned me. No orders had been given. But the moment I stepped onto the scorched ground, he looked up—as if he’d been waiting.Without a word, he tossed a training staff toward me. I caught it with one hand and twirled it once out of reflex. The motion was smooth, sharp.His jaw tightened.“Barefoot?” he asked.“More grounded that way,” I replied.A flicker of a smirk, gone before it fully formed.We faced each other across the cracked dirt, morning mist curling between us like smoke. My cuff buzzed faintly—an ever-present reminder of the power I still couldn’t touch.“Why are we doing this?” I asked.“Because you’re still angry,” he said.I raised a brow. “And you think hitting me will help?”“No,” he said. “I think hitting me will help.”That stopped me cold.But I didn’t argue.The first strike was mine.A clean spin. A sharp jab toward his ribs. He blocked it easily, twisting to deflect and counter.We mov

  • Born of Fire and Moonlight   SHADOWS RETURN

    Nova QuinnKael returned two days later.I knew it the second he crossed back into Blackridge territory—because the bond flared like it had been yanked awake mid-scream. A cold burn sliced through my chest, sharp and sudden. The air shifted. My magic stirred. His absence caused our connection to become fragile and worn like a thread unraveling at its ends. The connection reestablished itself suddenly and returned to its original state.I didn’t run to him.I didn’t leave my room.But the fire inside me—still stifled, still shackled—snarled to life like it had sensed prey.I stood at the window, arms crossed, watching from the upper level as Kael dismounted his bike. GHe advanced toward the estate causing the guards to move nervously. His shoulders were tense, jaw clenched. His fists flexed at his sides. His scent hit me a minute later—pine smoke, blood, and something cracked and feral beneath it.He was angry.Good.So was I.I didn’t expect him to knock.He didn’t.The door flew open

  • Born of Fire and Moonlight   UNDER LOCK AND FIRE

    Nova QuinnThe cuff wasn’t metal.It looked like it was—sleek, black, and cold against my wrist—but it wasn’t iron or steel. It pulsed softly with something older. Something that didn’t belong in this world. Magic.I felt it the second they snapped it shut.My fire recoiled, like a wave pulling back from the shore. The heat in my chest, the rhythm of my veins—it all dulled at once. My body still burned, but under glass. Muffled. Leashed.“You’re serious,” I said, voice flat.Liora didn’t blink. “It’s for everyone’s safety. Including yours.”I looked down at the cuff again. A thin silver rune shimmered on its surface, faintly glowing.“And if I take it off?”“You can try,” Mara muttered behind me. “But I’d wait until you’re ready to regrow your wrist.”Kael stood to the side, arms crossed, expression unreadable.“You agreed to this?” I asked him.He didn’t answer. Didn’t flinch. Just stared at me like he always did—like I was a problem he couldn’t solve.“Right,” I said, stepping away

  • Born of Fire and Moonlight   THE COUNCIL’S ULTIMATUM

    Nova QuinnThe room still smelled like him.Sweat. Forest. Fire.The bond between us had finally snapped into place—claimed in flesh, sealed in heat—but Kael was gone before the sun rose. Again.I sat on the edge of the bed, sheet around my waist, trying not to feel stupid. Trying not to let the emptiness beside me feel like proof that everything that happened was just biology and desperation.But it wasn’t.And we both knew it.By midday, Mara found me in the kitchen, nursing black coffee like it could stop the ache under my ribs. Her expression was tight.“Council’s summoned you,” she said.“Now?”“They know the bond snapped. And they felt your last flare.”I went still. “How?”“Because a tree two miles away was reduced to ash and the warding stones cracked. They’re not asking anymore. They’re demanding.”The cold of the Council chamber surprised me as my breath became visible in the chilled air turning into quickly disappearing soft clouds. Gigantic stone walls surrounded me while
