Bound By Magic And Moonlight Chapter 26
Hazel's Point of View The first thing I feel as I blink awake is energy, light, warm, almost electric. It pulses through me like sunlight, wrapping around my ribs and tugging the corners of my lips into a smile before I’ve even opened my eyes fully. I stretch in bed, the cotton sheets rustling softly beneath me, and for once there’s no heavy ache in my chest, no distant echo of Aiden’s voice, no lingering dream to claw my heart open. I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and rise with purpose. The hardwood floor is cool beneath my feet as I walk to the bathroom, turning on the shower tap and waiting for the water to run hot. Steam begins to curl through the air, fogging the edges of the mirror. I lean over the sink and catch a glimpse of myself. I pause. There’s something… different. No dark shadows beneath my eyes. No tightness in my jaw. I look rested. Grounded. Almost like I’ve peeled back a layer of grief and am breathing fresh air for the first time in weeks. I peel off

Aiden's Point of View The air hangs heavy with silence as we stand among the ruins of the training center, dust still clinging to the edges of scorched wood and shattered stone. Julian and Owen step up beside us, both wearing the same grim expression I imagine is mirrored on my own face. There’s nothing left to save here. Just ash, twisted metal, and the lingering echo of something deliberate, targeted. Victoria’s voice breaks the silence. “Let’s head back to my office and figure out where to go from here.” We all nod our heads without a word and fall in behind her as she turns towards the pack house. The path back winds through the trees, the setting sun filtering through the branches above, casting broken shadows across our trail. The forest around us is unnaturally still, no birdsong, no breeze. Just the soft crunch of our boots on the earth. Drake walks beside me, eyes forward, jaw tight. Julian and Owen bring up the rear, saying nothing. I glance back once at the remnants of

Aiden's Point of View The moment my phone buzzes in my pocket, a cold weight settles in my gut. I don’t even have to read the screen to know it’s bad. My fingers close around the device, but before I can pull it out, the front door swings open with a rush of energy, and Drake steps in, his face tight with tension. “There’s been another attack,” he says grimly. Mark and I lock eyes and instinctively reach for our phones. The alert is flashing across the screen, another incident, too soon after the last. “We just got it,” I mutter, already bracing myself. “We should go,” Drake continues, voice low but urgent. “Show our support, see what we can do.” I nod my head, stepping forward without hesitation. But Mark moves behind me, ready to follow, and Drake immediately raises a hand to stop him. “Mark, stay. Be with Amelia and Griffin. Aiden and I have this covered.” Mark hesitates. His eyes flick to Amelia, who’s now holding Griffin in her arms, her brow creased with quiet concern. H

Aiden's Point of View We’ve been at it all morning, Mark and I crawling around his living room like oversized toddlers, locking cupboards, anchoring furniture, tucking away sharp corners and stray wires. The place smells faintly of calming lavender and baby lotion. In the nursery, I know, Nicole is finishing her masterpiece, she’s been fussing over it for weeks. She walks out of the room now, a proud glow on her face and that unmistakable joy only soon to be mothers radiate. “Okay, we can go get them now. Everything’s ready, even my surprise in the nursery,” she announces, brushing a loose curl from her face. Mark and I share a quick glance, he’s nervous, I can see it in the way his jaw tightens. “Let’s go,” he says, and we head out together, the three of us descending the wide stairs of the pack house, sunlight catching on the banister as we go. Outside, the day is bright, spring warmth mixed with the crisp edge of leftover mountain air. As we make our way to the hospital, I gla

Hazel's Point of View Cole and I stroll side by side through the wide, sunlit halls of the university. The chatter of passing students and the faint tapping of footsteps on the polished floors surround us like a soft, familiar hum. He turns his head slightly towards me, his expression easy and bright. "Where would you like to go for lunch?" he asks, his voice casual, like we're old friends even though we've only just begun to get to know each other. I smile, feeling the warmth of the midday sun filtering in through the windows. Without needing to think too hard, I say, "There’s this great café on campus. It’s quiet and the food’s actually really good." Cole mirrors my smile with one of his own, a little spark of eagerness lighting up his face. "Lead the way," he says simply. We walk in comfortable silence after that, the kind that doesn't feel heavy or forced. It’s easy, natural. I steal a few glances at him along the way, how relaxed he seems, how he takes in everything around h

Hazel's Point of View The sun is already casting warm light through the curtains when I begin to stir, stretching beneath the soft sheets of my bed. A sense of calm sits in my chest, a rare feeling lately, and I decide to lean into it. I swing my legs over the edge of the bed, a bright smile tugging at the corners of my lips as I walk across the floor and into the bathroom. The water runs warm beneath my fingers as I pour in salts and a generous scoop of bubbles. A soft lavender scent begins to rise in the air, curling around me like a soothing blanket. I slip off my clothes and ease into the bath, letting the heat draw the tension from my body. The moment I sink beneath the water, my mind stills. My eyes fall shut, and I let my head rest back against the tub, letting myself enjoy the peace. But it doesn't last. The quiet is a trap. Unbidden, the images creep in, Aiden standing in my cottage, his face carved with something unreadable, and the words of rejection that followed. It p

Aiden's Point of View The glow from my laptop screen casts a dull light across my office as I sit hunched at my desk, fingers stiff from typing. I rub my temple with one hand while the other scrolls through the endless sea of emails. Three months of backlog, and it feels like the mountain only grows with every message I open. The first email I tackled was from the university in Cape Point, some form about alumni contributions and a request to guest lecture again for the history department. I like to help out at the university from time to time and guest lecture there. And you never know what unexpected girl you might meet there. I had flagged it over a month ago with the intent of giving it serious thought. I respond politely, vaguely, telling them I’ll consider it once things settle down on the 'work' front. Truth is, I miss my old life, but there's too much happening right now. The second email was from the supply unit, confirming a medicine shipment for the hospital and requesti

Hazel's Point of ViewValerie’s fingers wrap around my wrist with infectious energy as she pulls me through the crowd again, weaving between groups of partygoers. Her laughter rings out over the low thrum of music, and I can’t help but smile, caught somewhere between curiosity and anticipation. We’re heading towards someone else, another introduction, but this time, her pace slows just a little, as if she’s building suspense.That’s when I see him.From behind, all I can make out is his tall, broad frame and unruly pitch black hair that somehow manages to look both tousled and intentional. His posture is relaxed, one hand resting casually on the edge of the counter, the other probably holding a drink. He exudes quiet confidence, and before I can take another breath, we’re at a full stop.Valerie clears her throat gently, and the man turns around.My breath catches, just slightly.He’s rugged, there’s no better word for it. Strong jawline, a faint shadow of stubble, and eyes that are j

Aiden's Point of View Time blurs in Amelia’s hospital room. I lean back in the chair, one leg crossed over the other, arms folded, watching the steady rhythm of the heart monitor and the way Amelia’s breaths come in slow, controlled waves. I’ve completely lost track of how long we’ve been here, hours, maybe more, but the soft ticking of the wall clock and the dimmed lights do little to keep me grounded in time. Then suddenly, Amelia jolts upright with a gasp, one hand gripping the side rail of the bed, the other pressing to her belly. Her eyes go wide. “I think it’s happening,” she says, her voice tight but steady. Nicole is on her feet in an instant, her demeanor shifting smoothly from calm support to professional precision. She moves to check Amelia’s vitals and does a quick assessment before smiling, her face lighting up. “You’re right,” she says. “It’s showtime.” My eyes flick to Amelia, there’s a spark of excitement and a hint of nervousness behind her eyes, but she’s stron
