Bound by blood and moonlight CHAPTER FORTY ONE: LUCIAN'S REBELLION
Elara's POVI could not stop shaking.Lucien brought me back to his private quarters and poured wine into a glass with hands steadier than mine. I sat on the edge of a chair and tried to process what Seraphine had said.Breeding experiments. Genetic extraction. A new race of hybrid monsters with my blood as foundation."Drink." Lucien pressed the glass into my hands. "It will help with the shock."I drank and the wine burned going down but did nothing to warm the cold terror in my stomach. "She is going to use me like an animal. Force me to—" I could not finish the sentence."No." Lucien knelt in front of me. "She is not. I will not allow it.""You heard her. She does not care what you allow. Your protection only extends as far as she permits." My voice broke. "I am trapped here and she will take what she wants regardless of how much you object.""Then we will leave." He said it simply as if the solution was obvious. "I will get you out of Nocturna before she can implement her plans."
Bound by blood and moonlight CHAPTER FORTY: SERAPHINE'S INTEREST
Seraphine's POVBy noon I ordered the guards to summon them once again. The girl was growing stronger by the minute.Small advantages accumulated into control and I intended to control every aspect of this situation.Lucien entered first with that infuriating composure he had learned too well. The girl followed behind him wearing a simple dress that did nothing to disguise what she had become. Power clung to her now, the traces were faint but unmistakable. My centuries of experience recognized it immediately."Sit." I gestured to the chairs I had positioned deliberately. Low seats that would force them to look up at me. "We have much to discuss."The girl sat stiffly. Lucien remained standing until I raised an eyebrow. He took the other chair but his posture screamed defiance.My son had grown too attached. That would need to be addressed."Tell me about your family Elara." I kept my tone conversational. "Your parents. Siblings. Anyone who might have demonstrated unusual abilities."
Bound by blood and moonlight CHAPTER THIRTY NINE: FIRST BLOOD
Elara's POVThe new chambers connected to Lucien's through a shared sitting room. He had moved me there immediately after the assassination attempt but I still could not sleep.Every shadow looked like an attacker. Every sound became footsteps approaching. I lay in the oversized bed staring at the ceiling until my eyes burned.Three nights passed this way. On the fourth I finally dozed off near dawn.The window shattering woke me instantly.A figure crouched on the sill. Male this time dressed in dark leather with a mask covering the lower half of his face. He dropped into the room with barely a sound and I saw the silver blade in his hand.Silver. It was deadly to most supernatural creatures. Painful even to humans if it cut deep enough.I scrambled backward but the bed frame trapped me. He moved with inhuman speed closing the distance before I could scream.The blade came down.Something inside me exploded.Silver light burst from my hands without me think. It was just pure instinc
Bound by blood and moonlight CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: VAMPIRE COURT POLITICS
Elara's POVI was summoned once again at dawn. Mira delivered a gown of silver and black with a note in Lucien's elegant handwriting.“Court presentation today. Wear this. Stay close to me and trust no one.”The dress fit like it had been made for my exact measurements which it probably had. At this point I wasn’t even surprised anymore and was starting to get used to all the glamor that came with the vampire court. The silver silk that caught light with every movement and black lace at the collar and sleeves. I looked like something valuable rather than someone who scrubbed floors a few months ago.Mira braided my hair with silver ribbons and applied cosmetics that made my eyes look larger and my skin glow faintly. When she finished I barely recognized my reflection."You look beautiful miss." She stepped back. "Prince Lucien will be pleased."I did not care about pleasing anyone. I cared about surviving whatever political theater waited in that throne room.Lucien met me outside my
Bound by blood and moonlight CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: GARDEN OF BLOOD
Elara's POVLucien found me in the library three weeks after I left the medical wing. I had spent most of the day reading about Fae history while practicing small bursts of magic under his instruction. My head ached and exhaustion made my eyes heavy."Come with me." He stood in the doorway wearing dark clothes I had not seen before. It was less formal than his usual robes. "There is something I wish to show you."That's odd.I followed him through corridors I did not recognize. We descended stairs that spiraled down and down until I lost count of the levels. The air grew cooler and damper. Finally we reached a door carved with thorned vines.Lucien pressed his palm against the wood and it swung open silently.The garden beyond stole my breath.It should not exist this far underground but somehow it did. A courtyard open to the night sky above where stars glittered like scattered diamonds. Black roses grew everywhere climbing walls and spilling from their stone planters. Their petals a
Bound by blood and moonlight CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: LETTERS IN THE NIGHT
Elara's POVI returned to my chambers after three days in the medical wing to find a letter on my pillow.The paper was rough and the seal was unmistakable. A wolf pressed into red wax. My hands shook as I broke it open and unfolded the single page inside.The handwriting was harsh and angular. Written with force that tore through the paper in places.“Elara,I will find you. I have mobilized every pack under my command and called in debts from allies across three territories. The vampires think distance and walls will keep you from me. They are wrong.I will burn their kingdom to ash. I will tear down every tower and rip apart anyone who stands between us. You are mine and I will reclaim what was stolen.Wait for me. And sure as hell make sure you survive. Do not let them break you before I arrive.Kaelen”I read it three times. The words blurred as tears filled my eyes though I could not have said if they were from relief or fear or something more complicated.He was coming. Of cour
