Only one day remained before the wedding.

One day.

Twenty-four hours.

A single sunrise separated Elara Ashbourne from becoming the Fifth Queen of Noctis.

The realization followed her everywhere.

Through the hallways.

Through the gardens.

Even through her dreams.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape it.

Tomorrow she would marry Lucien Draven.

The First Blood Vampire.

The most feared ruler in the supernatural world.

The thought should have terrified her.

Instead, she mostly felt exha

  • Bound to the First Blood   Chapter 24: Moonborn's First Battle

    Silver light exploded across the temple.The force of it shook the ancient ruins.Stone pillars cracked.Dust rained from the ceiling.The monstrous creature was thrown backward before it could reach Elara.For a brief moment, everything became blinding white.No one could see.No one could move.Only the power of the Moonborn filled the temple.Ancient.Beautiful.Terrifying.---When the light finally faded, silence followed.The warriors slowly looked toward the center of the chamber.Then froze.Elara stood surrounded by silver moonlight.Ancient runes glowed across her arms and neck.Her golden eyes had once again transformed into silver.Yet this time, something was different.She was conscious.In control.The power wasn't consuming her.She was wielding it.Lucien stared.Kael stared.Everyone stared.Even the monstrous creature hesitated.For the first time since appearing, it looked uncertain.Afraid.---Inside her mind, Luna's voice remained calm."Good."Elara clenched he

  • Bound to the First Blood   Chapter 23: The Voice of Luna

    The ancient temple trembled.Dust drifted from the ceiling.Silver runes illuminated the darkness.And within Elara's mind, the mysterious voice continued speaking."I have waited for you."The words echoed through her soul.Ancient.Powerful.Familiar.Almost comforting.Yet also terrifying.Because she had no idea who—or what—Luna truly was.Around her, the members of the expedition stood frozen.Lucien's crimson eyes remained fixed on her.Kael's expression had darkened.The witches looked alarmed.Everyone could see something was happening.Even if only Elara could hear it.---"Who are you?"Elara whispered again.The silver light inside the temple intensified.The runes covering the walls suddenly began moving.Shifting.Rearranging themselves.As though responding to her presence."I am the First Moon."The answer confused her."What does that mean?"For a moment, silence followed.Then Luna spoke again."Long before kingdoms existed..."The temple around them vanished.Or at l

  • Bound to the First Blood   Chapter 22: The Ruins of Aetherion

    The expedition departed at dawn.Dark clouds stretched across the horizon as the massive gates of Castle Nocturne slowly opened.Rows of mounted warriors waited in formation.Vampires.Werewolves.Witches.An alliance that would have seemed impossible only months ago.Yet now they rode together toward a common enemy.The Devourer.Elara sat atop a black horse beside Lucien.The cool morning wind brushed against her face.For the first time since arriving in Noctis, she was leaving the kingdom.Part of her felt excited.Another part felt terrified.Mostly terrified.---The expedition consisted of thirty elite warriors.The four queens remained behind to govern Noctis during Lucien's absence.Much to Seraphina's annoyance."I should be coming."Lucien had ignored her complaint."I should definitely be coming."He ignored that one too.By the end of the argument, Seraphina had threatened to follow them secretly.No one was entirely convinced she wouldn't.---The journey lasted several

    The following morning, Castle Nocturne awakened to grim news.The ancient prison was failing.The Devourer was stirring.And for the first time in thousands of years, the supernatural world faced a threat greater than war.The atmosphere throughout the castle had changed.Fear lingered in every corridor.Servants whispered.Nobles argued.Generals prepared defenses.Even the queens seemed more serious than usual.No one could ignore the truth anymore.Time was running out.---Elara stood upon one of the castle balconies, staring at the distant horizon.The sunrise painted the sky in shades of gold and crimson.Beautiful.Yet she found little comfort in it.Her thoughts remained occupied by the prophecy.The Moonborn.The Devourer.The prison.The ancient war.Everything felt unreal.A few months ago, her greatest concern had been helping her parents run an apothecary.Now entire races expected her to save the world.The irony wasn't lost on her."You look troubled."She didn't need t

  • Bound to the First Blood   Chapter 20: Secrets of the moonburn

    The silence atop Castle Nocturne's western wall felt endless.No one spoke.No one moved.The words of the Alpha continued to echo through everyone's mind.The Moonborn was created to destroy the Devourer.Elara stared at the massive werewolf army below.Her heart pounded violently.Nothing made sense anymore.For years she had believed she was merely a powerful hybrid.Then she became the Moonborn.Now she was apparently some ancient weapon created for a purpose she didn't even understand.The revelation left her feeling strangely hollow.Like pieces of her life were being stolen one by one.Lucien's voice finally broke the silence."What proof do you have?"The king's crimson eyes remained fixed on the Alphas.His expression revealed nothing.The silver-haired Alpha stepped forward."We expected that question."With a motion of his hand, another werewolf approached.The newcomer carried an ancient wooden chest.Its surface was covered with silver runes.Even from atop the wall, Elar

  • Bound to the First Blood   Chapter 19: The Gathering of Alphas

    The news spread through Castle Nocturne before sunrise.The werewolf clans were coming.Not one clan.Not two.All of them.By morning, the castle had transformed into a fortress preparing for war.Guards patrolled every corridor.Archers occupied the walls.Messengers rushed between towers carrying reports.The atmosphere was tense.Dangerously tense.And at the center of it all sat Elara.Staring blankly at a cup of tea she had forgotten to drink."This is my fault."The words escaped before she realized it.The room immediately fell silent.The four queens exchanged glances.Lucien, standing near the window, turned toward her."No."His answer was immediate.Elara frowned."An entire race is marching toward your kingdom because of me.""They're marching because of their own choices."The king's voice remained calm.Cold.Certain."You are not responsible for the actions of others."The statement should have comforted her.Instead, it only made her feel worse.Because deep down, she
